[Destiny] Eyes up, Guardians. Our adventure begins!

We called it the Traveler, and its arrival changed us forever. Great cities were built on Mars and Venus; Mercury became a garden world. Human lifespan tripled. It was a time of miracles. We stared out at the galaxy and knew that it was our Destiny to walk in the light of other stars.
But the Traveler had an enemy. A Darkness - which had hunted it for eons, across the black gulfs of space, centuries after our Golden Age began. This Darkness... found us. And that was the end of everything.
That is, until Peter Dinklage found you, Guardian!
Destiny: Penny Arcade G&T Saves the Universe and Everything in It is an online multiplayer action role-playing sci-fi-fantasy *deep breath* first-person shooter for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 and the first title in a proposed 10-year, zillion-dollar franchise from Bungie and Activision. It’s MMO-like – think gear, skill trees, leveling up, and party play – with an emphasis on exploration and discovery.
The game is set in our own solar system, 700 years in the future, following a prosperous period of exploration and colonization ushered in by the arrival of the “Traveler,” a mysterious celestial body (pictured above). The Golden Age came to an abrupt end as a result of a momentous event called “the Collapse,” a calamity that wiped out human colonies everywhere, and as our story begins, humanity has retreated to the Last City on Earth, our shared home and the launching point for our journey back to the stars.
The Traveler watches over the Last City, and it is recruiting heroes from Earth to help protect our doomed planet, but the Darkness that hunts it is descending upon us. We must fight back against that Darkness, Guardians. We must suit up and set out - to the Moon and the planets beyond. We are humanity’s last hope.
So join up! We have a clan on both systems!
We've assembled a Bungie.net group - and within that group, a PlayStation clan and an Xbox clan - so that PA G&Ters can play together. We'll be running Strikes (instances) and Raids and hitting up the Crucible (PvP) in huge fireteams!
To join:
1. Send @GMaster7 (on the PS side) or @ObiFett (on the Xbox side) - or preferably, both - a PM, letting us know that you're applying.
2. Hit up the Bungie.net group - right here, at this link - and apply for membership.
3. Add yourself to the Pax Arcadia Mega-Roster that we've created to keep track of membership. Use the tabs at the bottom to select your console, and put yourself at the bottom of your tab's list. We'll bump you up to your proper alphabetical placement once you're in the group.
4. When we get your PM and see that you're on the spreadsheet, we'll accept you to the group. Then, you have to separately join your system's clan - so click "Set as PlayStation Clan" or "Set as Xbox Clan" in the group's banner on Bungie.net to officially add yourself to the clan roster. (Note: This only works after you've played the game on your system for the first time.)
5. Friend some PAers, hop online, and take to the skies in the name of Pax Arcadia!
Also: mysterious pre-release codes with unknown benefit!

Courtesy of @Beltaine: Although we don't know what these codes really do, they were collectible in the alpha and you might as well take a few minutes and redeem them at http://www.bungie.net/en/User/coderedemption to see what kind of benefit they eventually confer. They're grimoire-related, I think.

You were killing it with that golden gun last night (was it last night?). So awesome.

"We have years of struggle ahead, mostly within ourselves." - Made in USA
Since it's open beta, I shouldn't NEED to have it pre-ordered, right? Though I technically do because I have the PS4 bundle coming to me Sept. 9th. I can't seem to find any links on the PSN store.

Edit: Never mind, thank you for the new OP.
It was in the demo section for PS4 preorders, try checking there.
I'll put some screenshots and video and whatever else in it eventually. But I hope that serves our purpose for now.
Make sure to add this one:
Time to hop in for some Crucible antics. Wonder if the servers will hold up now that it's open to everyone....
Also, what does breaking it down do? Just destroy it pretty much?

@Tommatt: And a lot of time, the piece of gear you pick up will be an Engram, which needs to be decrypted at the Cryptarch (in town) so that you can see what it is/equip it.
damn you
And when you decrypt it, it may not be the color it once was. So a green engram can turn into a shitty white item.
Or a level 9 green item that will sit there. Trolling you. Laughing. "Ooh, you're stuck at level 8! Hahaha sucker! Ooh, what are you going to do? Hit me? You can't even touch me, baby 8." Even worse is the level 10 blue item that looks so fucking awesome, but hey, still level 8! You can't use that shit, but you sure wish you could. Keep it in your inventory, maybe Bungie will raise the level cap for the event on Saturday so you can get a taste of the badassness of that sweet auto rifle with the ricocheting bullets and the sweet scope and..
This game just needs to fucking release already.

Try having a level 20 purple in your bank.
Also, @CarbonFire is a hero. Don't let anyone tell you differently.
I saw you guys in your Strike and reaaaally wanted to join but there wasn't room. Next time. Or Saturday when the moon mission opens up at 2 PM PDT. (Fingers crossed.)
I really wish the 6v6 maps (other than the Moon) were a bit bigger. There's barely any room to flank, and a well organized team can lock down pretty devastating killing lanes on maps like Venus. So far not super sold on any of the Crucible maps, but I've yet to try the Mars one.
Mars is probably the most problematic map, in my opinion- at least for control. B and C are far too close together compared to A, and simply locking down those two is a task even an unorganized fireteam could pull off.
But it's cool and has a spinning wheel so you know.
Zanzibar.
Also, I guess you can shoot on the speeders? I have hit every button and haven't figured it out but I swear I saw people doing this.
The speeders that can shoot are vehicles on the Moon map, and only on that map (so far). The personal speeder hovercraft that you can summon anytime in the open world does not have any weapons (that we know of yet).
And yes, they could do a slightly getter job of delineating what icons are for what "slot", and how to use all of the weapons. Some of that is learned though, and in the grand scheme of things the choices you make early on will be of little consequence as you progress through the game. By the time you have the opportunity to get meaningful gear that you'll want to keep for a while, you will likely have a decent grasp of how the loot system works.
I understand with the loot not mattering later, but you always get that buyers remorse feeling and what to pick something optimal. And I still don't know how to equip the shotgun. I think I've hit every button combo there is. I went into the inventory screen and it told me about holding Y, but I saw no mention of how to equip the shotgun.
Green (uncommon) weapons and armor can be upgraded by using them and then selecting Y/Triangle over their icon. I have greens is every slot except Gauntlets now, each one providing some kind of buff and multiple mods. I can't wait to see some of the later, rare guns. I am sure the upgrades on those will be nuts.
September needs to get here fast.
I prefer the controller and the interconnected features of the X1 (can get invites while watching TV, wife can just tell the console to switch over if she's sick of me playing, etc) so at this point the main selling point, for me at least, on the PS4 version would be the extra content and the number of people playing. I'm sure the content will get released as a DLC at some point.
As a quick survey, is ANYONE in this thread on the X1 version come launch? I know the clan listing for us on Bungie has the PS4 roster at 7 pages or so and the X1 roster at 2 or less. The beta seems super busy on the X1, but it just came out there so its not a good indicator.

We are supposed to get something special AND "PERMANENT."
Maybe a weapon?
Apparently it's going to be an emblem.
I have mentioned this before but it's probably been lost in the flood of posts. You can get a pike (shooty bike) in explore mode by hanging out in the coastal boat area. A gang of bikers will appear and you can kill them and take their pikes.
Another random event is in the area where hive and fallen are fighting. An emote will say "the enemies move against each other" and they will start an all out war. Useful if you have the bounty for hive majors or ultras!
