Played a bit last night, made 3 Titans, one Male with a Geralt look, one Female Human and one Awoken Male with long hair because he was Dead for centuries so it made sense lols.

Alpha performed better, this Beta at the current state sttuters, is not very noticable but is there, there is also some aggresive pop in that sometimes happens right in front of you, like


Complete opposite experience for me. Beta performance is smoother and the image quality is cleaner.

Work has got me tied down and I've only been able to log in and play through the intro. Right away I noticed better IQ from the Alpha, but the framerate seems to have taken a little hit as a result. Or am I imagining things?

I think it was a poor decision to have ADS interrupt your jumping/gliding.

Warlock would be a lot cooler if you could ADS while gliding,
 
It's funny how so many people are saying auto rifle is OP, then I see Elzar who is an avid Halo player who says scout rifle is OP. Maybe it's more balanced than we think.

butthole fishhooking yes
And more?

Please Urk will you chuck us a bone?

Also how is everything going, all the data collected so far interesting? I hope you're all well at Bungie!

People are excite! Lots of great data. Read the update for official news. :)

I just want to say, I'm sorry for throwing that grenade on you jett! I have no idea how to communicate in the game so far, and I was trying to find a button to do interactions. Roflmao. >_<

Destiny Ghost Voice Comparison (Alpha vs. Beta) | Destiny Beta Gameplay

So they did more than just remove the Moon line. Seems like they changed the Hive dialogue too. Dinklage's voice seems deeper as well so I'm wondering if they did another take in addition to the filter stuff.

Either way the Beta stuff is leagues better. They reduced the shitty lines and the filter does make him seem less bored.

This game looks amazing, but I have one concern. I simply don't dump huge hours into games anymore. I maybe play 6 hours a week.

Since this is an MMO am I going to get anything out of this game or does it require the kind of hours an Everquest/WoW type game would? Is a casual player going to be able to pick it up at their leisure and still be relevant?

I think it's gonna be demanding, but not as much as wow. You don't need to farm feathers for hours to complete a quest.

6 hours is probably all I'll get too but I think that should be plenty. You could prolly play a strike a night and you'd still feel pretty rewarded at the end.
 
killed the wizard and died @ the same time, so i was just stuck unable to loot anything till the mission finished and i was taken back to space D: i wanted my hard mode looties from the wizard!

Yeah...this isn't a beta. It's a demo.

Indeed. And we can blame devs,publisher and consumer all. The former for pushing it and the latter of accepting it. Although this demo will be much closer to a beta in that Bungei actually works on the data they get.

Have bungie said if they will be adding more customisation options for hair / faces etc?

Seems a bit limited at moment. I know Gear is priority but a few sliders and more options would be nice.

Loving the beta so far tho, its hard to put down and remember its going to get wiped.
 
This game is fucking amazing. I love everything about it: the way the guns feel, the shooting, the graphics, the music, the gear, the lore. September 9th can't get here quick enough.

And more!

Urk, would it be too much trouble including an option to uncap the framerate, assuming Vsync would still be enabled and controller response remains accurate. I'm mainly referring to PS4.

I'm one of the few that have no issues with an unlocked framerate on games like Killzone, and Infamous SS.
 
I wonder if in the final game Bungie will add your clan to the roster tab. Right now it has friends list and a 'game' list (im guessing thats people in your vicinity).


Other than that, change nothing o_O

although i do hope there's some aerial vehicles

The Tower reminds me of Playstation Home. It would be better to just access stores from the menu instead of wasting time walking around.

This game's UI is so fucking gorgeous.

Was anyone else getting massive disconnect issues last night?

I was disconnecting from PSN Party Chats and the Destiny servers all night, and my internet was fine at the time. I figured it was due to the massive traffic, but just wanted to make sure it wasn't some magic setting or NAT issue?

The game is fantastic!
Can definitely 110% tell its a Bungie game, especially with all the AI movement patterns.
I feel like the aiming will take some getting used to, combination of the acceleration + aim assist stickiness makes it slightly unwieldy for me.
