first and foremost i wanna thank bungie for making a great game as one who played the alpha i was so impressed with how fluid the game was and was so impressed with the laq of bugs and server problems as a player who was on the fence getting in the alpha and getting a hands on experience with destiny was key to me pre ordering the game with that said i want to put a special shout out of a thank you to so many xbox players as a life long sony player i have not been lucky enough to run into many really nice xbox community members so coming into destiny i was kinda on edge on how the community as a whole was gonna be but i have been so surprised with the warm welcomes a lot of us have gotten now i personally do understand that alot of xbox players who have played bungie games over the years do kinda feel left out far as alpha access couple days of beta access and timed exclusives go i have been a very active person is supporting certain gaming companies over the year myself so i do know where you are coming from but dont lose heart over this choice bungie and the powers that be have made as i understand why i feel they did it and where they are coming from kinda have to put yourself into there shoes and see it from there point of view issue one playstation alpha 5 day event downside xbox didnt get any alpha experiece i feel as this was a kinda meh choice as the alpha was kinda a more stress test so testing both playstation and xbox sides of the servers would have been more productive and would have giving more feed back and data for bungie to look through for fine tweeking there game upside there is alot of playsttion players who are new to the bungie community giving them a crack at playing the game for a couple days could push more sales and kinda say hey we are thinking of you and wanted you to feel like we wanted you in our game issue two playstation getting early beta access the alpha was small though there was tons to do and i played it non stop the whole alpha and was still finding new things when the servers went down the task that bungie is doing is something they have never done before multi gen and multi counsel release of a game so spacing the launches out expecially since the beta will be alot larger then the alpha allows them to address and fix anything that comes up instead of just slamming themselfs with a ton of potential problems right away this allows for a cared for and thought out experience for us the community they want this to be done and done right for us so give them a bit of breathing room and make sure to thank them for giving us such a great game for all of us to experience issue three timed exclusives as with the above section im not doing pros or cons on this just putting what i feel about it and i am even taking a couple mins to gather my thoughts so i dont get ahead of myself so i will be right back .........5 mins later back lol okay xbox players will not be playing with playstation players so thus for timed excluses do not affect game ballence giving any advantage to having one said system or the other they are timed excluses meaning that both systems get the same content no matter what you get some ships those are completly cosmetic some armor and weapons they will most likely be low level gear meaning you run your first quest and the green rewards will already be replacing said items they are not giving away say lev 20 legendary gear its just cosmetic stuff so dont worry a pvp map okay i see a point to get behind that one as variety in pvp really helps the longevity of pvp same with the strike both should be available for both systems at launch i can back that 100 percent but least they are still giving the conetent and not saying you cant run it cause you have a xbox and not a playstation overall summory we are all destiny players we are all guardians bringing the light to the darkness and kicking some darkness butt for the glory and honor of earth we will take our home back and beat up anyone who threatens our home no matter what system you play on xbox 360 xbox one playstation 3 or playstation 4 and i hope one day pc gamers will get to come play this great game with us we should be united under that one hope this one game this one community as one day i hope that a company is brave enough to push the envolope further and unite all these communities and i feel that bungie could be that company from what i have seen we have already started to tear down the walls that keep us apart now its in our hands to continue to to strengthen those bonds of community untill latter guardians i hope to see you all in destiny and look forward to hearing about and seeing your adventures in this amazing world
