Well, depending on the actual time of day the Beta closes, I might be able to play a few hours.

On Bungie's weekly update they hinted that the Beta might run past the 26th. No promises but it is something they are looking into.
Anyhow logging into Destiny now to collect my Beta reward. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try the Strike Mission on the moon ( which will only be available for 2 hours starting 2:00 pdt. Hopefully everyone is playing Destiny now, good luck to all of you.

I tried, my internet is apparently too weak for Destiny.
I will try again when I get home, but unfortunately, a pre-order may have to be canceled.

Hi folks, just found this thread now. ![]()
I played Destiny on 3 different systems just to compare, and I'm happy to say the main thing I noticed was how much less pretty everything was on the 360, compared to the X1 and PS4, but that's a pretty minor difference. I had a Limited Edition of the game pre-ordered for the PS4 but cancelled it after the 1st day of beta. I have literally 1 friend on PS4, and this game needs a squad or at least 1 buddy to play with IMHO. (I played the Alpha on PS4 too, and somehow enjoyed it more.)
Anyway, it looks like I'll be playing on the 360 where all my friends are.
Here's my Titan from the 360. I really love her. ![]()
This is a Hunter I created on the Xbox1, but I only got her to Lvl 2.

These are all of my Warlock I played on the PS4.
It was so much fun to snap pics of her in the game. The PS4 share button is actually great!
Character creation:
At the tower for the first time:
Caught during a cinematic cut-scene.
And finally, just having fun dancing. ![]()
I also just played with the character creator a bit more on PS4 and came up with this handsome fellow. ![]()

I'm always a bit wary about anything multiplayer (I don't touch any pvp stuff in this game), but I really love the setting and the environments. Hunter is definitely my favorite class. I'm glad that there's some kind of bonus for beta users. I can't wait to get the full game.

I would've played with you, man.
As for character creation, I tried to even it out: Warlock = Awoken Male (Asian), Hunter = Human Female (White), Titan = Exo Male (Punk). I only remembered to snap shots of my Hunter though.


Think in the full version I'll swap genders around, so Awoken Female, Hunter Male, Exo Female. Definitely see myself maining Warlock though.

As long as I stay connected to the worlds, I like this game and will not be revoking my preorder.
I haven't tried the other classes yet, but my Warlock Human Female is already level capped, and the game does show odd signs that it will be lifted to 20, as a great deal of items that are left to me are part of that requirement.
I do wonder though, according to bungie.net, the beta should be over by now, unless they mean what they used to mean back in the Halo: Reach stuff, and they mean 6am PDT

I've gotten a bit addicted to this game. I love going solo and roaming and hunting things on the map. Sep 9 can't come soon enough. I do wish the character creator had more options, but I like the way it's designed.

They said they'll close it when they close it, so keep playing as long as its up.

Got a couple of solid hours invested into the Beta. Enjoyed it quite immensely.
The combat was fluid and responsive, environments dazzling and rather expansive, the visuals beautiful, and liked the overall layout of the game. I did find the setting intriguing, but the story didn't really manage to peek my interest. Hopefully it gets gradually better as it goes on. Hopefully the quests becomes more diverse as well. Felt that almost all of the quests centered on shooting your way to the destination, with little to no variation. Quests centered on exploration would be a nice addition, or something similar. I did enjoy exploring when I put time doing it, and finding hidden caves invested by high level bosses guarding loot chests was fun and implores one to come back later or gather other players to help taking them / it down.
PvP was tons of fun, which is to be expected by Bungie. They do know how to make solid and engaging FPS games. All classes worked smoothly and no class felt like it was too overpowered. Utilizing gathered weapons, armor and spells gave a nice combination and heavily implores one to gather equipment and improve one's spells. One minor gripe would be that vehicles should be able to "capture" when an enemy is using it, which was a feature Halo games had, and I hope is present in the full game. Doubt it is, but one can wish.
Destiny has certainly impressed me to garner a pre-order, and hopefully it has a lot more to offer than the taste we got.

I feel like the beta jumps around the story a little bit, so we may not be getting a good representation of story so far. But it's a beta, that's not the purpose of it anyway.

True enough, but ultimately you want to give a good impressions on all fronts, more or less.

So, I played the Beta on my PS4 for some time, and have to admit I liked it. The first thing that came to my mind after I started playing was that the game reminds me an interesting hybrid of Defiance, Warframe, and Killzone: Shadow Fall games.
Definitely liked the Exo race and Titan class. Hoped to try out the Titan's defensive capabilities, but disappointed to know they require level 15 while Beta's level limit for the characters is 8. Well, I'll try them after release, I guess.

I don't like PVP either. I tried 1 match and managed to be the only person on either team that basically did nothing but die.
That stuff moves waaaayyyy too fast for me.
I really am looking to the story, exploration and playing and leveling my characters to keep me interested. Like Chewin mentioned, I am also hoping the story improves in the actual game. It feels like you get only a tiny glimpse in the beta.
I went back and forth on whether or not this was the kind of game I would enjoy, but I maxed 2 characters and I was still having fun, so I've decided to go ahead and keep my pre-order. Plus, with DAI delayed until November I don't have anything else I want to play. ![]()
Who else ran into some enemies that had "????" over their heads and you did no damage to them when you shot them? Yikes! I ran. ![]()

I admit, it would've been pretty great if they continued the beta until release, but hope can only take one so far.
