I've finally finished a strike mission with durvelle and a buddy of mine and up to level 8. Having a blast with it and I'm definitely preordering for the beta in July. I hope data crosses over. There is enough to do in the alpha and I can only imagine even more will be available in the full version.
 
Even though it caps at 8, my skills and weapons are still leveling. Pretty cool. Wish they would bump the cap to 15 for Alpha and hopefully 30 for Beta.

Also, this game is rock solid. Just amazing how smooth it is.

Yup I'm surprised how smooth it is for an alpha. Having a lot of fun with it.
 
Just got done with a 6 hour exploration session. I think we explored the entirety of the map and there are quite a few enemies you hit for 1 dmg in order to block the path. Even found one path that said "warning turn back!" and had a countdown timer and we got kicked back out. Still, the game is friggen huge...even for what is probably just an old build labeled as alpha test.

The game looks and plays great. Only a few points of lag that are mostly due to my friend's poor connection I'd wager. The landscape looks great and the draw distance is fantastic...there are some really nice views in this game.

Yea a few others that didn't sign up got the code. It's funny because my friend who preordered it like a year ago lost his receipt to get into the beta and he forgot to sign up for the alpha. He didn't get an email or a notification. He was pissed that me and my other friends got it so he muted us in the party chat because we were talking about how much fun it is and what were going to go explore next.
 
Yea when I turned on my ps4 I had a notification that destiny was available for download. I think if I had push notifications on the ps app turned on I would have gotten it on the phone too.
 
Damn you guys are getting a lot of play time in. I've only been able to play for about an hour, only got into one group mission where I died over and over again.
 
It depends where you are. At one section it's nothing but level 8 enemies. Stick to the mission in the main land where you can level up before heading for other missions. There's even harder enemies in a cave somewhere beyond where they are level 90 or something and you do like 1 damage lol.

I kind of wish the cap to leveling was a bit higher because there are some items I want to try that require you to be at least level 12 or so.
 
Supposedly all the ??? enemies are lv20. A headshot from my sniper rifle often does 1800dmg. On these guys it did 2. I ran by and found an encampment around an alien structure that had 10-12 lv20 enemies. Needless to say I died every 5 seconds until I could run sufficiently away.
 
Yea I'm hoping the beta has better caps for the characters. Just registered myself for the beta with a pre order code. Wish the alpha would last a bit longer. I don't have much time to play today.

what do you mean by that? performance just tanks or what?

I remember ff xi had horrible performance at times even on an ultra high end PC so I wouldn't be surprised that xiv was similar. I don't think square enix knows how to optimize performance properly for all the effects they try to cram in at once.

Sony has finally spoken on the PS4's missing features. Specifically suspend/resume and being able to jump in and help your friends. I think it's becoming this generation's "in-game XMB". Shuhei Yoshida says they're still working on it but wouldn't say when they'd be ready.

Yea I hope they come out with that. It should be ready by the time far cry 4 is out since ps3 and psn buddies can jump in your game. I'm assuming it has something to do with these features.

That world event was bringing down PCs and Servers all across the world. It seems they're still handling those events terribly.

100 players confined to a small area, tons of spells, abilities, etc etc.

You can figure out the rest.
 
Disc popped out again and wouldn't go back in. Fixed it again, but I sure hope this isn't going to be occurring weekly. Luckily I was only watching Netflix and not going through a perfect game. 😛
