Thanks for that info.

It kicked me out again then put me about 6000 into the queue.

I have about 7 encrypted items from my last trip to earth. I just wanna know what they are!

Re: Destiny

Could today's server issues be a good sign?

As in, why would they be tweaking them around like they are today if this was the last day?

Perhaps stressing them today and keeping the beta up for another day or two or week?

I hope it will go at least a few more days. I want to play more on the moon.

Re: Destiny

Bungie's Twitter says they're going to shut it down at 6:30, so about 35 minutes.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

September is coming soon though.

From Bungie's Community Manager ("Urk")....from NeoGAF forum....

Oh, hello.

Destiny's pretty big. It's the biggest game we've ever made, by far, and we're sort of known for making games you can play for months, years, and even decades if you're a little bit...dedicated.

With Destiny, we're looking to exceed what we've done before, not just in terms of scale - the Moon is our smallest destination - but in terms of scope and breadth of activities. That's true for day one, as you expect, but it also means we want Destiny to have super long legs.

If we're fortunate enough to have you playing months after launch, you still find lots of compelling stuff to do. That will manifest itself in a myriad of ways, from straight up content to cool activities we've yet to show off.

We think we did a decent job supporting Halo, post launch, but we were only ever able to cater to the competitive set. That left a lot of players out in the cold. That made a lot of the team grumpy. We wanted to do better. So, Destiny is philosophically built support every type of player, and all modes with ongoing activities and events. We look at it quite a bit like television programming, as opposed to a singular film, as we had in the past. We think it's gonna be pretty great, but we wanted to test out a bunch of our new stuff with Beta, to make sure we could flip knobs and levers live, reacting and responding with lots (and, ho boy, did we see LOTS) of players online and playing.

Beta was water wings. Level 8 is nothing. You barely scratched the surface, and it seems like some folks had fun with what was there.

If you did, good news. More soon.

Re: Destiny

Got my 1st Blue level gun, guess its one level up from Green items. I wasn't going to buy Destiny but after playing the beta I went ahead and pre-ordered it. Really looking forward to the full game and what Bungie has plan for us. Remind me a little of Marathon

The gun

Re: Destiny

I DLd the free beta a couple of days ago. Destiny had not been a game on my radar as I am not a big Halo fan and the gameplay vids I had seen weren't appealing to me. However a free demo is no risk so I had a go. Freak! This game is pretty cool. Yes it had such a strong Borderlands thing going on and there are traces of Mass Effect and certainly Halo but the game play is well done.

I am playing on PS4 and the beta has me interested in getting this game when it releases. It doesn't feel like a new IP however, it feels like a good FPS hybrid/mash up of other big games with a fun third person social hub. Nevertheless I like it!

Re: Destiny

It was fun. See you again soon.

Re: Destiny

That is what makes me like it a lot. This is what every dev should do, quit trying to innovate so much or hello EA? The stupid back of the box selling thing and make games that use proven elements to make the whole game even stronger.

I am so sick of devs ignoring things that work and work great in other titles just because the other title has it. I am not talking about copyrighted content. I am talking about things like options and settings and game structure.

Re: Destiny

Beta was awesome. I leveled out a Titan and Hunter.

One thing I noticed in PVP tonight was it seemed like some guys had some serious armor somehow compared to me.

There were guys just tearing it up. I hop PVP is a big component of the game and they make it level sensitive like Halo was.

Sniping in this game is a blast. Definitely buying this. It reminds me of Phantasy Star online a lot. Looks I will need to upgrade to the Xbone soon.

Yeah, usually in SF, if it's your thing there are a lot of sessions on Youtube from past conferences - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...XHinsFQTDY-MSg. I admin JIRA and Confluence among other things.

Never been to San Jose, kinda disappointed, annual SF trip was kinda fun
