The LEVEL 12 aliens were hard to kill. I'm loving how much work Bungie has put into the A.I.

Moon was awesome! Can't wait for more down the line.
 
The moon mission was ok. Mowing down enemies with pikes was fun. But the exploration outside the story was freaking awesome.

Dunno if anybody's seen Gamespot's 7 Big Questions they have after playing the beta.

I know it's a beta, but I'm really really concerned about how the rest of the game will pan out. They could've at least given us one mission that made me go "WOW! THIS IS FUN!" or that it's something different. And I know that there are doors blocked off by fog, but how much bigger are the maps and stuff when those open up really? It's just not a good sign when they throw you through the same areas every mission. Just wasn't feeling the discovery and the "this game. THIS GAME." feel.

Level 20 just feels like a very low cap considering you can get to level 8 in a couple of hours. And people were already obtaining gear that had like 350+ attack power and 350+ defense somehow when a lot of the stuff I found just through playing the missions and engrams were like no more than 70+.

Like I've been saying though, maybe it's really just a bad game to "demo" and they have a LOT of variety they hid and I'm gonna get blown away. But I'm sure they'll have to talk it up next month since there'll be no more beta and stuff. I just wanna be told more about how this game is gonna be more than just another borderlands without the humor and stuff. Even Halo's missions felt more exciting then this. They had vehicles you could fly though, so that added another feeling.

I dunno guys. I dunno!

pretty sure those fog doors dont go anywhere, they are just spawn doors where enemies come from. I guess essentially the creeping "darkness" they talk about in game. Though there seems to possible be some areas somewhat locked off by high level enemies and potetially other missions.

I believe it'll be extended until at least Monday. Let me find a link explaining that.

Fatalist Prophet When does the Beta end?

The Destiny Beta ends when we say it ends. For days now, press releases have circulated that foretold of the end on July 27th. The Wolf, our Theoretical Physicist, has told me that he wants some room to maneuver close to the conclusion of our little social experiment. So, I’m not telling you exactly when. Please play until we nail this thing shut.

Considering my beta hours, I've already got like half my monies worth already, and can't wait for the official launch where more of the RPG mechanics will 'matter'.

That being said, was a little disappointed with the Moon map. I felt like I ran into way more Misadventures than on Old Russia which really puts a damper on the feeling of exploration. All the repetitive caves and more-visible monster closets also made the Moon feel much more 'Theme Park'. On the other map, these elements were a lot more blended in.

All the enemies were the same, and more concerning was that all the public events were just a rehash. Fighting a walker on the Moon, is just like fighting a walker on Old Russia not surprisingly.

Perfecting the use of cover has also kinda taken some of the thrill away for me. As awesome as some of the AI has been, it's still not smart enough. It doesn't take much focus or precaution in the game to eradicate the fear of death.

While all that sounds really negative, I really can't wait for launch!

sadly the latter. this game really needs an in-game clan management system.

DEFINITELY. Apparently we didn't join a clan, we joined an internet forum on bungie. I want some real clan integration.
 
I already know for a fact that I'm going to be grinding for the exotic Rocket Launcher that has the "More reserve ammo per kill" trait if it has the ability to have it.

I was going to do a video, but the share feature is infuriating. I had no problems making quick Resogun clips, but man is it giving me a hard time with Destiny.

Basically pressing that button launches players standing on the fan into the air.

*Mind boggling timing*
 
Really upset I was working during the moon mission and missed the reward... Even though I've invested so much time into this beta, seems like I'll have nothing to show for it :(
 
Got a sniper rifle as a reward from doing the moon mission that has some strange flavor text for the upgrade. I imagine the rewards are static so I'm curious.

Anyone know what "Shooting any type of ammo picks it up." means?
 
I wonder if the Earth actually rotates and the Moon actually revolves around in a physically correct manner. If not, I'm gonna get my boy NDT to come up to Kirkland and chew the Bungie guys out.
 
my KD went up significantly every day that I played. if I hadn't been dogshit terrible to start this game off, I could've been floating in the high 2.5s or so right now :/
 
Yup tons of Iron Banner matches carrying my team at times, getting destroyed by others, didn't get a single item, while I think someone else got a legendary ship, and other cool stuff.
