Thanks Dax, voice of reason in this madness...

 

[Soroc]

So I pre-ordered Destiny digitally on PS4. Do I need to bother with all this code nonsense?

no....

Check out the OP, lots of great info in there!

 

[OverHeat]

PSN currently down

Good job Sony, why do we pay for online gaming again?

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Got plenty.

Need to go to work soon ... quick question about PSN

1. Leave PS4 in standby
2. Get my Beta code while I'm at work
3. Input into the Playstation Store website
4. Get home from work with Beta already downloaded?

Will that work? Sorry if noob but had a 360 last gen and haven't had any experience with the PS store yet.

After redeeming the code you need to add the Beta to your download queue, don't forget that. Otherwise it won't be downloaded automatically.

Yeah, starting to get a bit bullshit now.

 

[The Librarian]

I know that hating the messenger is frowned upon, but is loving them perfectly acceptable?

Spoiler

Platonic of course

This is acceptable to me.

 

[fantomena]

How can PSN be down when Im online playing?

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Already playing. Took 6-7 hours to download.

:O

IKR?

 

[Seil]

I'm ready to play this game again.

But this whole code release is a recipe for disaster. Bungie is full of really smart people. But not allowing preloading for the possible sake of "friends & family" was a dumb decision.

The fact that EU PSN preloading is possible, and the game can't be played from that, means it should have been possible for them to release the codes and let people install while still keeping them from playing til they wanted x.x But nope. Who knows if it's Sony or Bungie's fault, and it doesn't really matter in the end since once we're in, we're in and it's in the past, but it still feels like it could've been handled better lol.

 

[JLeack]

So. Hyped!!!!

My DualShock 4 is ready.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Already playing. Took 6-7 hours to download.

Yep. It was slow as fuck.

Can I do that via web? or does it need to be on the console directly?

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

So my redeemed codes page on Bungie is blank. Does anyone else have this problem?

man so it wasnt just me.

 

[Revolutionary]

Typically, already connected users are fine. It's trying to log in and access the PSN Store & Library where things get messy.

 

[Majanew]

Yep... I turn on my PS4 and once I try to go in to the store, I get told it's currently undergoing maintenance. PSN is a joke.

 

[Skele7on]

Already playing. Took 6-7 hours to download.

 

[EightBitNate]

How do I see who I follow/whose following me on the beta website? I have no idea what it means.

Grace Chen tripped over the LAN cable and accidentally unplugged it.

EU preloading may be possible if the F&F portion of the beta is limited to NA.

Yup, definitely could have been handled better.

 

[Backfoggen]

Thanks Sony.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Yep. It was slow as fuck.

Imagine that's for Europe right? So with na and everybody downloading at the same time...

 

[Portugeezer]

Don't make it worse by checking if YOU can connect online if you're not already.

Just wait until you need to connect. If it's down then, then we're fucked.

 

[Soroc]

How do I see who I follow/whose following me on the beta website? I have no idea what it means.

Its not really individual users, its when you follow a group, all the users in that group are followed I think.

 

[kidko]

Obligatory:

KILLIONAIRE!

How do I add to download queue ?

 

[PodcastFips]

Can I do that via web? or does it need to be on the console directly?

Yea there should be an option to do that directly after the redemption process. You don't need to have your console nearby.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Thanks for the blue balls sony

 

[fantomena]

Beleive whatever you want. But it took at least over 5 hours. Probably 6.

Imagine that's for Europe right? So with na and everybody downloading at the same time...

Yep. Norway.

 

[mcmudman]

I don't think it'll take that long to download and it'll probably be playable mid-download anyways. Let's just hope psn is getting prepped for the beta and not just down because there is already a lot of traffic.

Awesome sauce

Thanks!

You charmed a Bungie (or Activision) employee ?

You're a friend or family-related with someone in this company.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I don't know how to check it anymore since the beta facelift. For me it was just all the people on my psn friends list who were in my list of followers. I think it does it automatically.

You go to Settings then Membership tab

[Acrylic7]

On my Redeemded codes page on Bungie is says ''You'll find your Destiny Beta download codes below.'' But everything is blank. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

It should work exactly like that if PSN isn't down all day.

Oh yea, this is critical!

You need GAF Gold to see it.

Spoiler

Probably just a bug in the site

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Beta is cancelled.

Yep. Norway.

What speed internet you on, My pre load literally took a couple hours tops, although I did install and do mine on Monday and I'm running a 120mb down 18mb up connection.

 

[dmr87]

So who thought it would be a good idea to distribute the keys on a site that has the potential to crash under the load and on top of that don't let us preload?

With gaf gold it's great to browse this forum. All those animated avatars and YouTube embedding. And destiny beta was release already for us.

I think someone said something about the PS mobile app will allow you to accomplish something like this. Do you have that?

PSN came back, at least in Europe. Good sign!
