A Beta only ship is a great idea man.
Let's hope they don't go 'To obtain your permanent reward exclusive to this Beta, play at 7PM PDT. Event will close 9PM PDT.'. That would be a massive 'fuck you'.
so whats the max level now, 20 or 30?
I thought the number in the "players card" equals the player level
This would be nice. I don't like that the cursor snaps back to the middle of the screen after selecting a mission, or difficulty.
But the UI is so sleek and nice that its hard to mind this.

Nice, hopefully some PvE rewards this time around.

So much THIS. It's an odd decision to be sure.

I just completed all the missions. Call me pleasantly surprised.
Is there much content in the explore/free roam mission?

See that "Light" number? That adds to your level at higher levels (or once you get to 20).

Pretty sure max is 20 but Light stat increases level. Kind of.

The max level is 20. There is gear with a stat called "Light" which increases your effective level so you can fight enemies at levels higher than 20. But you can't inherently level past level 20.
Gear with the Light stat can already be previewed at vendors in the beta, and hovering over the stat says that it works the way I described.

Man I cannot wait to mass buy yellow armor color. I will literally be a sun bro.

The Iron Banner chest armor for Warlock looks fairly "Souls"-ey. I liked the design a lot, though I would change the color.
Some very short missions (scan stuff, collect stuff) but you can play all the missions again on a harder difficulty.
I think you can get materials to help you customize this kind of things. no?

Yep, just saying I definitely would use shaders on it.

Yeah >.<
"Permanent rewards". Well, that should kill any expectation some may have had of being able to carry their beta characters and items to retail.

I'm really hoping it's something simple like "pick up a letter at the Postmaster" or do a special bounty that's easy to finish...my fear is that it will be like Iron Banner and be tied to PVP instead of just "playing the Beta".

I thinks the same of the Warlocks' helmets. In the beta they were hideous.
Just my hunch but I reckon it will be a PvE event. The Iron Banner stuff was just a way to showcase of your gear and of course to swag a kick ass cape if you're a hunter.

Agreed. I'll already be missing that one particular time on the 26th because my internet will be shut off and it'll be the day before I begin my move to Los Angeles.

I'm still leaning toward it being a PVE event but if it does end up being PVP related I wouldn't be surprised either. Pretty sure everything will be known Friday once they put out the next Weekly Update.

It does. Will be getting that if I can make it yellow. If not then I'll go with regular vanguard armor and make it yellow. If Bungie can somehow add praise the sun as a gesture then oh my sun I will be so happy.

lol don't give Saban ideas they're already trying to sue some indie game for taking the power rangers likeness.....
Curious about a few technical questions: Do we know the details on how many servers Destiny will have at launch? That is, just how many separate instances of the Tower, Old Russia, etc. are there to support the population that will be playing this game? And how many players does each instance support?

Mr. Community
In the Venus section the booklet mentions space based locations like ruined ships. Sounds like the Reef.
No technical data given yet. Some of that is unlikely to be divulged as well.
Player count was mentioned at one point, but it was referring to at the close of the beta.

They better to keep enough authorization servers or it will be like WoW addons launch.
Repost since it got lost on the last page and this time i'll direct it at you since you seem to know more :
Did some new information get released or something? Only 1 location on earth and the rest of the available planets plus only 5-7 story missions each seems very underwhelming.

Supposedly Bungie now reveals things in pamphlets
We shall see. But yeh 1 location per planet would seem rather small to me.
Wut? That can't be right.. Can it? Lol
Yep. With the interest even the beta is generating. I hope they are prepared.
Also, the way I think this game works, after you authenticate, you continue to instance between the various areas, like the Tower, Earth, etc. It's not like you pick a server and stay there, like in WoW. Which if true, does this mean there is a potential for long loading screens or ques even between areas, even once already in the game?

They've said most of the content is end game anyways.
They're going to send out flyers next?
Max level 20 sounds great to me. I find the end game content is always way more fun than the initial leveling process. To each their own though.

Levelup is just filler to end content. It is fun to make 1-2 character leveling, but after that it gets annoying, especially like in WoW with 90 lvl, but at least WoW has cool quests, so you can be entertained with story. I am sure every expansion will rise bar for 5/10 lvl, so they don't want to end up like 500 lvl at last expansion.
Looks like. I'm even think there will be no dividing between EU and USA servers. It will find lone players and connect them together. And let's hope Destiny will not be hostage by old-gen consoles. I mean that it will be kept downgraded whole 10 years.

iirc you don't have to open the game to download the content it will background download.
Also one location per planet is super disappointing I LOVE this game and will spend hours and hours with whatever content is there but the expectation was a couple zones for each area for sure.
Oh well

Hope so! I want them dumped over my city, then I want a very expensive slow motion camera to film me as I jump up and down trying to catch them out of the sky.

Not gonna lie if there is a covenant of the sun as a Bungie group still accepting members I'll join. Apps can't search for groups though.
