It's cool, I take solace in the fact that Shinobi is a Trophy Level 5.
What a noob

Beta hasn't started yet, and considering the nature of the competition, it should technically be possible to donate and jump in a day before the Beta ends, no? Just bump it up at the start of and during the Beta and the people will come.

I'll join in as well but had other stuff to do recently.

Technically yeah, but it will be a fucking nightmare for me if everyone holds out. Plus it's much less likely that people will actually donate towards the end of the beta as they may look at their stats and think there is no point.

I was hoping people commit to a donation early, then have fun working towards one of the competitions for the duration of the beta.
 
Define straight away aha I pre-ordered yesterday from Amazon.ca and keep vigilantly refreshing my inbox. It said up to two days to receive the code, maybe I'm unlucky :(

Damn, really?

By straight away I literally mean straight away. I had the code email before I got the confirmation of pre-order email.
 
I can't take reading this thread anymore. The fact that I have to sit this Beta out is giving me fits lol.

Guess I should unsubscribe before it gets worse.

I pre ordered there as well and sent then an email asking after I didn't receive one. They replied saying they were not doing that promotion only the .com was. 4 days later I got an email with a beta code.

Hopefully you get it.

Search your feelings, you know you can't resist. Give in to your hype. Let the space magic flow through you.
 
Oh my.. this game guys!! Just two more sleeps and we can play it again! I'm so excited my week has been amazing :). Got a new job offer and then the joy of playing Destiny again... It's just too much :D.

Krayzie I'm definitely going to be playing with you and Valentinus. We are going to turn shit up in the Crucible :).
 
I've been playing BF4 again and I remember when I was playing the Destiny Alpha, I was accidentally tossing grenades when I thought I was spotting for teammates.

Or something like that.

It was bad.

Why? I could imagine it being like the Bubble Shield from Halo 3 - You can fire out of it, but enemies can walk into it and shotgun-blast you in the face.

Can't fire out of a bubble shield.


Also if you can fire out of that bubble I can see it being one of the most annoying things ever in PvP. That's like Armour lock levels of fuck off.
 
Can't wait to tussle with those invisible snipers from the alpha raid again. They were painful when left unattended, but a lot of fun to fight.
 
Do we have any official word on how big the exploration zones are? For example, how big is Old Russia? How big was it in the alpha for those that played it and was it all accessible or was it just a portion of the full map. I remember reading a interview from this thread saying that each one is the size of GTA V. This sounds like a lot so I'm questioning if this is true. Especially if you consider that there several different zones (Maybe more than one on each planet?), that would be a truly massive amount of explorable area.

I have some unfinished business with the Knight at the bottom of the stairs. The ones where you first start at Old Russia.

Well Old Russia is damn large. I found a lot of the edges while out in Explore during the alpha - it's a lot of going through buildings to get to other areas. If someone has said that it'd be roughly the size of Los Santos I wouldn't disagree with them.
 
So I just pre ordered the digital deluxe version on the ps store (ps4). So there are no codes for the store version? I heard some people have preloaded from the ps store but I don't have anything in my downloads.
 
Sorry, thought it was like a regen effect. I would alternatively guess that teammates you save from the brink of death will generate orbs.
Since the highest number of Orbs of Light I've seen dropped from a Super has been 4, I could see that it'd be something 3 kills from inside the Bubble per Orb or something like that.

Apparently Europe is the only region getting a preload from the store version.

If you preordered in any other region PSN you're probably going to be stuck downloading the Beta the same time as everyone else.

Niceee. I took a few days of work so destiny can have my undivided attention. So i'm gonna be playing my ass off!! Cant wait to play with you guys and dominate once again.

Oh and congrats on the job offer m8 :)

That's cool, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
 
I'm actually somewhat surprised that NA isn't getting a preload for the beta. Would certainly help to keep the servers from turning into a smoldering pile when the beta is up for download.
 
Anyone think we'll leave the Solar System at some point though?
Depends on if they introduce new enemies over the course of the games. Or allow us to visit the Vex homeworld. Or show the Darkness as a physical enemy.

The possibilities are endless.

Has anyone tried redeeming their code at Bungie.net? All login options seem down. (Apologies if I missed an earlier update).
They're upgrading the site to include all the Destiny-specific stuff. Companion app should hopefully be available in the next day or two as well.
