As stated by Bungie, the Beta was—for the most part—a stress test of their back end. The Beta was most likely a build from early in 2014. Internally for months I would guess that they have been working on the full build making it bug free. We have to remember that last year they were marketing Destiny as an early 2014 release. So I am sure that they had a full build ready in February/March. It has probably been in testing since then. I have no doubt that Destiny will be an incredibly low bug count game at release and that their servers will be top notch. I appreciate the dedication and commitment that Bungie has shown with Destiny. It is rarely seen in many aspects of creativity today.

No chat then? -.-

i agree with you that the next gen is bullshit, but you got to understand that they are new. the older consoles didnt had that much to offer in the first year too (wii u still doesnt have much stuff besides mario kart 8) but watch out for later releases. the e3 just showed us bunch of great games (yeah, they come out way to late, but they still look great. almost all of them). what major game changes you want? the beta was great and bungie already said they nerfed the interceptor a bit. its just 1 vehicle, but you cant deny that it will affect the gameplay on the moon. (and other maps which have vehicles). also its a 10 year expanding game, we already know of 2 packs and the 3 year cycle comet expansion. i gonna bet that you can even travel to other plantes that we wont in the final game yet. thats normal for a game that expands. you got 2 green gears from a lv 6 / 8 strike. it wasnt even difficult at all. im pretty sure the later and more difficult strikes give you rare and legendary equips. the glimmer thing is probably to prevent easy farming. i got glimmer when i was below lv 8, like everyone else. i still got 25 glimmer from yellow enemys when i was lv 8. as soon as you get to a bit higher enemys in the endgame you gonna get glimmer again. (also: do you want it to become like borderlands? you get so much money that you dont even know what to do with it. even if you die 10 times, you still have more than enough money for other stuff.) not sure whats up with the cryptarch (can people get legendary equip from the cryptarch by buying the engrams from him? my best item was a lv 10 blue gear, but in terms of late game its still crap. if people got legendary weapons, i hope bungie gets that out of the game.) in the end: im actually not sure what your thread is about? are you saying its trash because the game doesnt change to much from the beta to endgame or something? (also: whats up with people criticize games that are not out that strongly? (especially if its destiny and / or xbox game? (i know this is also a ps game)) lately every game gets heavy critics if its discussed more than once.)

I'm pretty sure they won't have the same loot chest system in the game. And I wouldn't classify that as a major change either.

Do people really have a problem with the seed/glimmer thing? The seeds were pretty common and you got a ton of glimmer if you used them in a mission or exploration.

We won't know for sure until the game launches. Until then, this is just speculation.

It was the beta I'm sure they left a lot out lol

I agree it's just speculation and Bungie is still the one who actually is responsible for any changes being made, not Activision as they are just the publisher. But, there's an even worse implication here. Look at Activision stating that there aren't going to be any changes to the game. Here are some disturbing quotes: "Destiny’s beta was good enough to convince Activision to leave the full game alone for launch." "“And the good news is...we got 4.6 million players into the beta…" "We think we’re ready for a great launch with a great partner in Bungie.” Look at all the times they say "we" did this and "we" did that. It was my understanding that they are a [u]publishing[/u] partner and that gameplay and design are being handled by Bungie. You think Bungie was being stymied when they were under Microsoft's control? Get ready for another go round. Only one month out and Activision is starting to show who is really in charge. Sad times gamers, sad times.

i bow to no one....
