Destiny's raids are a brilliant experience though

You couldn't be anymore spot on. The sheer amount of hours I've sunk into raids even after obtaining the gear was ridiculous. Yes, they do require teamwork, strategies and coordination, but it's also a lot of fun at the same time. Remember trying to find that illustrious final chest in VoG? Or missing ledges in the jumping puzzles?

To be honest even just experiencing the encounters for the first time and working out what's actually going on is lots of fun.

How do I accept these on Battle Net?

Aha got it. Nearly have the open beta downloaded. I cannot wait till October though.

Loving it so far, silky smooth!

"don't open that chest for a chance of an exotic at the next one!"

I agree though. I found I would often run raids with noobies as well. It could be a frustrating experience but it was worth it when you helped someone complete a raid and you hear their excitement at getting a decent drop
 
Love what I've played of this so far and really glad the PC version is looking so good. Just hope they sort this aim assist thing out otherwise PvP seems dead on arrival.

Any way to keep the minimap enabled when zooming? it's quite annoying.

By minimap you mean the radar? If so that's disabled when zooming by design. In D1 there were weapons (Mida) that would enable that feature, i imagine D2 will have those as well, just not in the beta.
 
I don't know anything about this game, hope you don't mind answering a few questions:
1 - Is it multiplayer coop only?
2 - Do you grind?
3 - Are levels always the same or are they randomly generated?
4 - Good for solo, playing with pug's?
5 - How long do raids take?
6 - Is it a casual game - good for a quick blast?

Thanks!

1 - No there is competitive multiplayer also, it's called the crucible.
2 - Yes grinding is a part of Destiny, at least it was in D1.
3 - There aren't levels per se, more like public areas and missions. They are pretty much the same, they don't change much and if they do it's predictable. This may change for D2.
4 - Playing Destiny solo is possible though some activities become harder without a co-ordinated team.
5 - If you're unlucky enough to be a part of a crap fireteam you could be there for hours. With a skilled team that know what they are doing the Crota raid could be done inside 30 mins easy. King's Fall is longer and mechanically more complex, so over an hour. D2 will likely follow a similar pattern but who knows.
6 - It can be, though to get the most out of it you'll need to invest many many hours.

Interesting, thanks for the insight!
I'm really undecided, I'll see when it comes out.

@Burr covered most of it, but:
1- No you can play completely solo, and it will randomly match make you for activities if/when required.
2- Yes, you do grind to get the best gear and stat rolls. But if you just want to play through then its not too grindy.
3- Nothing is randomly generated. The free roam areas will get to feel familiar, but almost all of the missions and strikes take place in unique areas or sections of the map.
4- Yes, fine for solo, plenty to do. Pugs are fine for most of the harder content, a bit sketchy for raids though.
5- On average about 2 hours, depending on the raid. Much faster if you have a regular team.
6- Burr nailed it.
