How long is the Alpha extended guys???

Dunno, it just keeps going...

For me, I think I've already seen and done pretty much all there's available, so this will be it until September (I'm not touching the Beta, I wanna go in as 'blind' as possible, and hopefully forget a bunch of stuff I saw on this Alpha).

 

[JetBlackPanda]

So should I buy a PS4 right now so I can participate in the beta, wait until the white PS4 bundle releases and just play the PS3 beta, or... ???

I can't even fathom this game on last gen hardware.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

This is the place where I fight that big eye at the end?

Yep.

Personally if you don't have a PS4 yet then I think the bundle is the way to go. That's just my thought though..

 

[Byron Bluth]

I'm on mobile, but Bungie just tweeted that they're testing the game in "expert mode," whatever that means.

Hopefully I can get on after I get off work.

Same! Come on 5pm EST!!!

 

[Novan Leon]

Never played an MMO I'm guessing?

I have, but generally get burnt out on them after a month. FF14 was much more appealing to me because I could switch play styles on-the-fly which gave it a much more "open" feel.

I just think character classes are a relic of an old way of thinking and there are better systems out there.

Hold off for the bundle man, you have waited long enough.

 

[fquick]

I'm hunting around and nothing seems "Expert" to me.

I was hoping for total annihilation with high spawns everywhere. Ho hum.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I agree with everyone here. I would wait for the bundle. The only reason I have a PS4 is because of that Gamestop trade in promo over the weekend.

although sorry guys Black > White

 

[Mik2121]

It's 1am here so I'm quitting now. It was an amazing Alpha. Great job Bungie.

This is my last Destiny screenshot until release day.

"Expert" only meant shit might break, they're doing a bunch of stress testing. They're not doing anything "in-game".

 

[SJS]

I don't know what the "expert mode" thing is. I've been playing with no changes in the core game so far.

I've noticed server instability every now and then, but that's it.

 

[hydruxo]

Wait for the bundle. Enjoy the full game in all it's glory.

That's what they meant by expert mode. I don't think people get that they didn't mean some massive world event

 

[Rastafarian42]

Kinda of a thread derail but how long is the beta happening on July 17 ?

 

[Gold_Loot]

Hey guys a quick heads up for ya. If you want to hear Peter Dinklage speak with his robotic filter on, simply hold the ghost in your hand before he speaks and you can hear it. It sounds great!

 

[Karl Hawk]

Kinda of a thread derail but how long is the beta happening on July 17 ?

Not known yet, but I expect it to be two weeks at most.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Wait, they didn't add anything new, did they!?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Not known yet, but I expect it to be two weeks at most.

I figure a week like the Alpha. Maybe we could get 2 but anything over that I doubt it.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Nope

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I hope some kind of filter is added to make it more robotic. My buddy was playing and thought the voice over was your character.

I dunno, knowing what high levels are out there now I'm sure an easter egg may appear to slaughter everyone. A man can dream.

As this game is closer to an MMO than anything done before by them, Bungie better learn real quick how to manage expectations.

 

[K' Dash]

They should open the floodgates and let anybody with a PS4 in.

 

[dark_prinny]

What? The Alpha is extended?

My Monday just got a whole lot better!

Expectations are one thing, but people extrapolating out of one vague tweet is a little much.

 

[Fonds]

I'm under the impression that there will at least be customisation for the Ghost, as it is selectable in the inventory screen.

Maybe when you chose difficulty it goes

Brave/legendary/expert

 

[Field]

Stupid question but how do you enter free roam mode?

 

[Gaz_RB]

Bye bye Destiny?

Anyone still able to get on?

 

[Fracas]

I was kicked and can't reconnect ;________;

 

[Kade]

[BokehKing]

Stupid question but how do you enter free roam mode?

Exploration (middle selection)

 

[Kaswa101]

Gone.

 

[RageWaffles]

Bye bye Destiny?

Nope, seems like it's done now

Edit: Nevermind! After several tries, I got back in.

 

[fquick]

Also booted. Let's see what comes of it.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Shit, disconnected and can't reconnect! Could the Alpha be over?

Edit: Back!

 

[SJS]

Brave/legendary/expert

Nope. There are two difficulties and that's that.

 

[dark_prinny]

:/

 

[Effnine]

Stupid question but how do you enter free roam mode?

Earth ... Explore

 

[Boke1879]

Yea I just got kicked from the servers. I know they were doing a stress test today so I don't know if this has something to do with me getting kicked or if the Alpha has now ended.

 

[king grimlock]

they just tweeted about stress testing

 

[ComputerBlue]

I was also booted and can't reconnect. It might be over, if so, thank you Bungie for a great weekend.

 

[Nursezero]

Aww servers went down T_T. Getting "attention: contacting servers". Then goes to error screen and shows error code: chicken

It's was fun! Thanks Bungie! I cannot wait till the Beta.

 

[Nightengale]

Shit, disconnected and can't reconnec! Could the Alpha be over?

Same thing going on here as well. =(

 

[veloxStrix]

Booted as well.
Is this real life?

Back on~ ;3

 

[Smo21]

Can't connect. Is it done?

 

[Canis lupus]

NoooOOooO


Bungie pls make level cap 50, it's too fun leveling up.

 

[Lakitu]

Can I delete this now? I've been attempting to all last night and today but it keeps pulling me back in.

 

[dyergram]

Is it dead ? I got kicked
