Cool, cause I really enjoyed killing things on Destiny until the DLC came out and stopped me from killing things.

Guess you are disqualified from making the OT.
Slacker!
I'm kidding. Don't kill me.
I tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end, it doesn't even matter.
I will find you in the DZ and I will kill you. And take your loot. And throw it in the river.
My new Destiny OT
WTF how did I post that much D:

I'm with you. I saw enough of the closed beta to know I'm all in.
I'll just wait for the release now.

I'll be honest, haven't really followed the game that much. I kinda understand what it is, but I don't really understand what there is to do in the game.
I get the whole open world destiny-esque aspect where you can run into other players, and unlike in Destiny, you can actually attack them . I also know about the loot aspect and having to extract items via the helicopters.
But that is pretty much what I know about the game that constitues "content". Every time I tried watching a stream in the last beta, it was people running around in the street, killing a few npcs, going to an extraction spot and waiting to extract items. Then some of the time they would run into other players, and either fight them or not.
Is there a story? What about something equivelant to dungeons/strikes or raids?

Hey, I'm there too! lol
This only shows how much I love this beta/game
Someone actually read the FAQ!
We won't know until it comes out. There are patch notes listed in the FAQ that does state improvements, but once again we won't know until we can try it out.
90% of the game were unavailable in the beta.
There are story missions, dungeons or strikes and there was a raid rumor going around. The whole DZ becomes one instance at lvl 30.
Patch notes said:
I really hope reduced input lag is part of the additional polish!

You might as well play it for the 10 minute introduction tutorial so you can get that
Yup seems like it.

I've been trying to login to the store and now the website is stuck on "loading." Anyone else having a similar issue?
Yep

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
I already convinced a friend of mine to get the game when we played the closed beta together so maybe I can convince my nephew in the open beta to buy the game since he does have a mild interest in it.
I hate exclusives no matter what it is.
30 days is pretty do-able but damn its like CoD all over again.
I have an Xbox
You could try it from within Uplay?
13 GMT I think

I hope they implement a trading system in the final game. I know that sort of creates an economy which can screw stuff up, but I did feel like that was missing.
Trading in the dark zone would be pretty funny. You could see what loot people had in the dark zone then kill them for it haha. I don't know, maybe that wouldn't work very well.

and as far as the XBOX exclusive stuff goes...it was already known they had a deal with Ubisoft so I'm ok with 30 days...it could have been way worse
(just remember the way Destiny's PS exclusive stuff was handled...people had to wait months for that stuff to get out to XB players)
edit: too slow with the Destiny comparison

While its true Destiny was much worse, its a shame the industry keep going this way for a quick $.
If this keeps up it could be quite damaging, for both the other platforms and the publishers.
Btw. Damn you all you Xbone owners

Destiny gets 1 year exclusivity for content on PS4 and nobody cares. The Division gets 30 day exclusivity on Xbone and everyone goes into full on rage mode. Makes sense.
I'll check out the new mission, so that I also get the bonus gear.
Just to mention this; cheating in beta was non existent even if some lead you to believe that everyone was running WH + Aimbot + Infinite ammo + Infinite health or something like that. They should and have improved anti-cheat, but it wasn't as widespread in beta as I have seen some claim on Internets.
Performance / optimisation was already very solid in closed beta build, yeah. Game rides your CPU hard and really seems to benefit from i7 with HT enabled.
Edit:
A lots of people cared and do care about that Destiny content bullshit, there is even many PS players that dislike and would prefer content to be released on all platforms at same time.

It's timed, and every time you kill someone after you go rogue you get elevated to the next rogue level and the timer gets higher. Once the timer goes down you are no longer rogue.

you get put on a timer...the more rogue you go (Level 1, 2, 3, etc) the higher the timer gets
there's a damage threshold though so if you shoot at someone accidentally for a shot or two you won't go automatically rogue (you get warned your actions could lead you to be classified rogue)
Not how it is/was at all. Last gen X360 had tons of exclusive and you barely heard about it then too.
People just stopped giving a shit after a while, its a tone deaf industry after all.
Once you go rogue you get Rogue Rank 1-5, which increase the time before it goes away. It also increase the reward for killing you, and for you surviving it.
To go Rogue you need to inflict 15-20% of a player health. If you go rogue, whole group goes rogue (depends on distance).
