Yep.

If anyone finds any alpha streams, I'd like to see them.

I'll edit in the link in 7 minutes. Honoring the embargo, and I wouldn't know if I'm breaking rules if I post early.

So, I watched some guys play events and then catch the tail end of a Public event. There were at least 2 (maybe 3) other players on the other side; they didn't have enough firepower to destroy the tank and it vanished.

...is going to be your go-to for Twitch streams.

This thread looks like it may end up being the master list of streams:

Haha, they're getting their behinds handed to them by DeeJ's very own TTL!

This was the embargo drop we were waiting for. There is SO MUCH stuff that is answered in the above links. Customization Options (which is changing my original interpretation of some things), Multiplayer, Single-player - Titan, Hunter, Warlock Game plays.... and that's just what I have found in the first hour.

I am in a state of Bliss. Knowledge...so much...so fast. It's glorious! :D

*Sqeeee* ＼（T∇T）／

I know there is more... but I just had to get this out.

They go in blind, you have been warned :-P

With Crucible not being my cup of tea and the Strike mission off the table, I had nothing else to do but jump back into Free Roaming and do missions. The world of the Destiny alpha feels like a graveyard, and not one of those wacky fun graveyards you hear about. Everything’s dead, and nobody’s hanging around to witness it. The fact that missions come not from eclectic side characters but from glow sticks, that exploring just finds more outdoorsy areas and uninhabited nondescript passageways, makes wandering and exploring less exciting than it could be. This could turn out not to matter when the Death Star is fully operational, but that was what was running through my head as I played.

It’s really quite a fun combination of genres, though. The loop — fight, gather, return to town, equip, repeat — makes sense. It’s fun to keep going. It’s rewarding to finish a firefight, because you’ve done more than just survive to see the next firefight. You can take breaks, you can explore… to an extent.

I racked up a few more missions, running and jumping across the remnants of a transport ship that had broken cleanly in half, melee attacking low-level enemies to clear the mission’s requirements (kill guys). I leveled up, and the game helpfully informed me that I had reached the level cap for the Destiny alpha. I had nothing more to do. No one was there to celebrate my accomplishment. I stood alone on a broken-down hunk of rusting metal.

I danced alone, to no music.

I missed it. Anything of note?

During the IGN interview Urk said the Beta would be much bigger than the alpha, which is already rather large.

Seriously, where is the map-exploration/sightseeing love?

This dude is doing some random quests right now.

Earlier, I watched this guy for a while and he just ran around, exploring:
