Ok guys, admit it, who danced the shit out of this game? Exo dance rocks. We just did synchro dance and several people joined in. I cried from laughter. Amazing.

Yeah, it could be a fairly old build I guess. But that still doesn't really suggest that there would be missing scenes from the beginning of the game that are in the new build. Certainly possible, but I don't really see anything to suggest it'll be the case. I HOPE there are missing scenes. I clearly think the opening hour needs them
Maybe you just don't like pvp in general.

Are you upgrading your guns? Pretty major.
Played the beta some before work and outside of not really liking the running much I loved my time with it. The way people could just meet up in the field and get together was pretty nice and seamless and the action really felt good as my hunter went around straining knife kills together.
Not sure when I'll play next but I'd be lying if I said I haven't been thinking about the game all day. Also the ghost VO isn't that bad, but they should probably give my boy tyrion better dialog and direction.

I've gotten 3/5 so far.
I've come across loot chests in other locations (like the cave up high, that requires a double jump for a plane wing). I'm assuming this means there's different levels of chests, and that one wasn't considered Gold?
It's much better than the Alpha VO. Adding the digital noise filter and extra bleeps/bloops helps a lot. But yes, the writing is still hit and miss.

Does everyone have access to three different player emblems right now? I have Officer, Veteran and Commander.
Or maybe these are rewards for playing in the Alpha? Or being in a clan?

I went there in the Alpha - and found a hidden ghost. But the two times I've tried to go back in the Beta - the gates were closed.
At the start of the Beta - went to the location - in the midst of the rusty cars were I found the ghost before - and it wasn't there.
You can tell an MMO by the number of people unwilling to play the tank class. Mission accomplished!
Are people still saying it's bad? I think it's waaaay better than alpha.
100% agree and I think it's one reason why I've enjoyed the Alpha a wee bit better. It just kicked off on the mission to kill the Wizard so these questions didn't matter at that point.
Now? The whole intro I was left with "How the fuck did that Ghost bring me back to life, armor me, and yet have no weapon?". It bugged me last night and it still bugs me now.
I can be transmatted / teleported anywhere? That seems like an incredibly powerful technology.
I need more nerdy explanation. Also, I already don't trust The Traveler.

Yes...there are different types of chests...you can see how many Gold ones you have opened by selecting Earth then looking to the right to see how many of the 5 you have found
I have no idea what you're talking about. Tried one at level 4 and between lvl4 handcannon and a lvl 4 scout rifle there really was no contest. Scout rifle hits harder, holds more ammo, has better zoom... Is there even a single thing where the handcannon wins?
Which is a shame, because they're really cool...

Some extra touches in this beta is great. I can hear my guardian (She sounds nice) and some various little effects. Now all I ask Bungei is let me remove help display, My hunter and warlock have brig pink hair let it fly as I chuck plasma!

Every online game should have a dance button from now on
I've heard more than a few of the people at Bungie remark how underpowered handcannons are, so I think it might be something that's going to be fixed. They obviously know its an issue, LOL.
Well I guess, but it doesn't say anything about downloading. It says it's installing. I guess I didn't pay attention to the file size of what I got from the PS Store. I started the download late at night and went to bed.

Someone from Bungie commented earlier in the thread about the Weekly Update...forgot who it was

You just crushed my hopes.
Yeah
I actually revisited the panel video a couple of days ago where they showed all the concept art. He specifically mentions that they were all over the place with the concepts and it didn't feel like a cohesive theme. Chances are that none of those places exist (or will exist) in the game, at least in the way it has been portrayed in the concept art
Because you can't use your movement ability and shoot at the same time. If you do, you stop gliding and drop to the ground.

how do i upgrade guns?
This has made my concerns vanish. I figured Old Russia was the only zone on Earth.
Hype back into overdrive.
I hope this is implying new content drops during the beta, but I kinda feel like this will be a "10 things to do after hitting level 8"
1 - Try Hard mode.
2 - Did you know your weapons have levels too?
3 - Chase those Crucible leaderboards!
4 - See how fast you can finish the Strike.
. . . . .
That explains a lot. The installer you got from the PS Store downloads in about .5 seconds and is just the installer for the Beat (I assume). Once the Beta is downloading, you can do other things on your PS4 since the download will continue in the background.
I mean the huge open expanse behind where you first start, in the first reveal they said you can explore everything you can see, past the rusted cars, far far off into the distance. in the alpha, you would just instantly die when you tried to jump down to that area.
I am hoping they unlock the moon missions.
Also what i did in the alpha, was just start a new class, and play through everything with each class.
I think it's meant to deter easy death from above headshots in PvP due to how long you can stay in the air with jumping abilities.

That earthquake drop, or whatever you call it, is straight up bs.

Waiting on xbone. Are people generally liking the new voice more?

Uncommon (Green) and higher have upgrades through leveling up and gaining experience while using that weapon

It's better than alpha... Still don't like it too much.
See, this is why I like to set realistic expectations for things.
Disappointment is left to a minor degree, and I'm not feeling any abrasion toward Bungie either.
doesn't mean i can't hope for a tease about a level cap increase tho
Mixed feelings.
Personally I like it in comparison to the Alpha. It's still not great, but at least now I feel like I'll get to appreciate it the more I hear it.
That being said, the robotic quality to the voice certainly helps with the monotone performance.

Take that list with a grain of salt. None of those are "confirmed" (see my post above)
Yeah, i like the guy, but it totally takes me off the immersion in this game lol
