Yeah I've been thinking about this. Kind of makes me want to stop playing the beta.

How much faster is the reload? I found gloves/arms that boost the speed but its a level 10 rare
It's my favourite weapon at least looks wise. In practice I'm bothered that for a small clip single shot weapon headshots don't instantly kill people. It needs either a damage boost or a crit multiplier

What's in those other games that isn't also in some other game before it?
And also, not saying this is an impossible challenge since I normally don't like first person shooters, but please point me in the direction of one that lets people who aren't grouped to begin with meet up in the world as strangers and subsequently form ad hoc groups and also has seamless transitioning in and out of instances while out and about in the world. I'd like to try that game out too.
It's as fast as most scout rifles' default reload speeds. Obviously if you have a reload speed skill for scout rifle, that'll be even faster.

we have no idea how many locations are in the final game. I don't think it will be just 4 or 5.
If you're playing Hunter or Titan, you should be really concerned about the cosmetic items. If you're playing Warlock, know that you are the best looking, best playing, most epic class available in Destiny.

The story feels pretty weak in this game. The story missions don't seem to be moving the plot at all. I was told to take down a wizard in the radar building, OK, how does that help save humanity from the Darkness?

I accidentally dismissed a couple of Iron Challange bounties and now they're gone forever 
At least now I know!

Well honestly, having played both, I think that the base upgrades and perks for the Hunter's gunslinger class are far superior to that of the two classes. For the average player, the Warlock or Titan may be very useful, but the way that throwing knives, explosives, mobility, and golden gun work, along with other things, makes it a very good class for those who know how to use them. If you are good at first person shooters, than a lot of the abilities the Hunter has make it a really efficient option, especially the more upgrades you get.
Also cloaks > jackets.

Old Russia, the Moon, Mars, Venus, and maybe Mercury. There aren't many spaces on the star chart...

Strike is pretty cool. I didn't know what it was before doing it and, even though we died a bunch, it was great grouping up with strangers and still having a really enjoyable time. Though it does feel weird to take down these giant enemies and not get loot drops from them themselves.

So there 100% can't be multiple locations in one planet? Sure, that's not confirmed, but neither is what you're saying.

The tower is a separate selection in the star chart, so I really doubt it. Urk could put the speculation to rest though.
who says we are getting one location per planet? and if the grimoire cards in the app under the locations are fully playable areas, then Saturn and Jupiter will have playable locations as well.

What are the chances that we get to play in these amazing vistas?
I don't know why we're playing the same stuff from the Alpha, I really hope there is a lot more environments, especially for a space travel game. So far it feels very small.
i'm glad their only giving us the same areas. if they gave us more i'd be weak and have to see everything and then i'd ruin it for the actual release.
I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Warlock is the best class of all time...of all time.

Thanks for the strike runs Visceral and Shadow...was fun
What loot? I found a single loot cache in the first mission and nothing in the alpha.
At least one thing that's appealing. Nothing here stands out as entertaining.
I don't see any of that improving the game's content.
I'm getting kinda bored. I've played everything multiple times. I love the game, but there just isn't a lot of content in the beta. I was so hyped for the event, but the prizes were lacking. I have this huge thirst for power in destiny. The weekly update made it sound like we would be getting some great new level 8 gear. It was just a cool gun we can't use and a ship that doesn't look as cool as any of the ones you can buy. I hope there are more surprises in the beta before it's over. Something to pull me back in.
Some Crucible highlights from what I've played so far, a couple quadruple kills, and a 6 kill streak to defend a point.

I was kinda bummed that it was almost the same as the Alpha. But yeah, still gonna keep me hooked until the end.

So that's 100% purely subjective with nothing to back it up.
You're moving the goalpost. You told me to name something that wasn't found in other games. I did.
And I guess you also didn't like Journey.
Meeting up with random people and making friends is fun if you're into that, which I am.

I was in the alpha as well.
Loot is popping off enemies all the time, I've tuned in countless engrams. When a mission is over you are awarded stuff.
It's not like diablo where every enemy has common items falling off of them but loot is In the game.
Is their anything to do to counter a Super in PVP? It seems like once someone has one, you will die and you can do nothing about it. And since most people get it twice a match, it gets pretty frustrating getting killed by them constantly.
I would think if you die, your meter should reset, or drop down a little, so people dont get it as often. Or atleast give a way to counter for it.

So, it's the game's fault that you're not looking around? I have a ton of loot. I've sold off most of it, but I still have 4-5 different weapons.
And, some of y'all need to understand what a beta is. On an intellectual level, you get it, but you don't seem to really understand what it actually means to be in beta.

This game sucks man. I want a new rifle and they give me level 9?? Lewt is broked. Bungie sucks. Game is so boring, I walked into a cave and it was dark so I left.
1/10 would not tea bag.

when exploring this area, I went a bit too far deep into the place and ran into an area with nothing but level 20 enemies.
Check the level next to the enemy name, that killed me in the top right hand corner
I was able to slip by these guys and into the hive? ship. Flash grenades allowed me to pass up more enemies. You end up comming out to the area in the strike mission where the ghost needs to hack the laser fence.

Hmm, how's it going to be? Will you guys remove it completely? I dont have THAT much of a problem with the interceptor, although I do think it's a bit OP. I feel like people will complain about the interceptor regardless of the map. If there were more ways to combat against it (like hijacking maybe?) then I personally think it'd be fine.
Was really hoping PvP would be changed, at least somewhat, since alpha. It's still pretty horrible. I don't care how good the story might be, if the PvP sucks, then what's the point? I guess I was really wanting open world PvP of some sort. Not just an entire separate mode. I don't mind the smaller maps as much as the Moon map. The vehicles make that map suck. They really don't give you anything to stop them.

Only played 4 PvP matches this morning but reflecting on it I think I enjoyed it more than I expected.
First 2 were awful, was really hard to adapt to the style of PvP as a Warlock with only an auto-rifle, found my feet running support with at least one other player which made things a hell of a lot more effective. The one/two shoting was still annoying but once I came to grips with the range required to survive it became less frustrating.
The enchanced Warlock glide is insanely handy in the more open levels. If you get ambushed or rushed you can cheese it out of there super fast and avoid most of the damage, also really helps get you into the action quickly no matter where you are on the map.
