I just posted feedback on the Alpha forums for DeeJ to have a little gander at. However i thought i would also copy pasta it here for you XBox users and others to see as we are all one big Destiny family. The game is amazing, you won't be disappointed at all if they get these little bugs and tweaks fixed before release. Anyways, on with the feedback i gave.

I have encountered some terrible character rubber banding / lag / delay whilst playing the Alpha multiplayer. Please see below a list of the time stamps where examples of the lag and double KO's happen with things such as both player and enemy killing each other with punches after they have been cast and also a very strange issue of vanashing character models which happens on an all too regular basis. An enemy can disappear from your screen right in front of your very eyes, and somehow he has teleported behind you / into a different room.

00:32 - Kill enemy after death with melee delay
01:30 - Melee v melee double take out
01:46 - Enemy Disappeared / Teleported (this happens a lot)
02:21 - Melee delay, second push kills him 2 seconds after use, and before i try the 3rd tap.
04:13 - Melee v melee delay double take out again.
[i]Off-topic [/i]- check out 05:00 with my Nova Bomb super, i love it when the bodies go flying into the air. Great job with the ragdoll here Bungie, keep this in the game and more of it :D

I have noticed how overused and how perversely overpowered the Shotgun is in PVP. I found this to kill the fun of Multiplayer since before you could even attempt a melee punch you'd be dead without knowing if your punch even registered with the server. [b][i]In my opinion[/i][/b] the shotguns should have a 25% - 50% reduction in damage, or at very least they should not be able to have their Attack / Impact upgraded. It cuts through player shields and health like a hot knife through butter and people were abusing this running the whole map with shotgun. Primary with a shotgun is too OP at the moment [i](and again, my opinion)[/i].
[b][i]Anybody else experience any of these issues or have similar feelings about shotgun usage?[/i][/b]
Bungie have done an[b] amazing [/b]job with this, and the game is [i]almost[/i] perfect. I can feel my addiction kicking in already after 4 days of playing. Hopefully Bungie can get these glitches and little bugs tweaked out before full release, This game is going to be amazing people, my body is ready. Thank you Bungie.

You know the difference between a bug and latency, right?
