I had some fun tonight Strider, it was great playing on your fire team. All the side quests seemed pretty similar so far.. "kill these enemies and get the item they drop", "Kill all enemies in this area", "Walk thru a massive area for 5-10 minutes to hit the square button on an objective." lol. It looks like the only part of the game left to really explore is The Devil's Lair.. the map does say it is a story mission.. but did we need 6 people or was it that we needed to be level 6 to access it? We might be able to do it on our own. The first mission looks like its limited to up to 3 players per fire team. I'll have to check it again tomorrow. I definitely want to try that area before the alpha ends.
I saved the stream of our gameplay from tonight.

I got a heavy weapon tonight! I think I picked up the engram after we killed one of the numerous level 9 Hive Knights that were a bastard to kill. Those engrams get turned into weapons at the cryptarch guy. Check the video at 1:26 to see what it looks like. Now I can tap triangle to switch between my two guns and hold triangle to switch to my heavy.
Go to the 40 minute mark to see us get destroyed by that tank. We didn't stand a chance in that event..
Go to the 1:40 minute mark to see the crucible / multiplayer. Its basically 6 vs 6 domination with 3 flags. Its not entirely fair tho, considering everyone was a higher level than me and some people had shields.. how the f*ck did they get shields!?
I wonder if Destiny is sucking up all the processing power of the PS4.. because my stream quality on twitch looks horrible compared to what the game looks like.. then again, maybe its something on twitch's end.
