Polygon now claiming our beta codes will be emailed to us.

Wonder why they didn't do this from the start.

 

[molnizzle]

And that there won't be a HUGE number of people playing the beta (as it's been so easy to pre-order and cancel) that don't play at launch.

Also, pre-loading. Most people will have the game fully downloaded before the damn thing even launches.

 

[hypernima]

Finally downloading it.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

This crap needs to stop. If people are paying $50 a year for PS plus this crap absolutely needs to stop.

 

[Hurley]

This sucks.

I got that, fixed it by signing out of psn then back in

 

[MrS]

It's like GTA V all over again

 

[Field]

Embarrassing Sony! RAAAAAGE!

Keep trying. It took me 17 minutes to finally start the download.

 

[Mashin Haters]

guys unplug your ps4s then plug it back in. ITS THE FIRST STEP COME ON GUYS!

 

[SteveO1683]

Got the 179MB application downloaded and the 32MB update file but now PSN says I don't own the content.

 

[Bending Kermit]

you serious?

The poll on destiny GAF bnet says otherwise

 

[ComputerBlue]

I think i want the alpha voice lol

I love the little beeps and boops of the Beta.

 

[Pastry]

Finally got the download to start on my lunch break, I'll be ready to play when I get off at 5!

 

[VisceralBowl]

I can't actually download it from the download list..... Just a blank community hub page.

.

 

[Dante316]

Damnit...

It still downloads if u see that error. You can check the information of the client.

 

[Sane_Man]

Whoop! Finally got it to start downloading. It's on 9% so hopefully it'll be done in an hour or so. Good luck everyone else.

 

[WJD]

If it you keep spamming it, it'll work. If you're able to redeem your codes, then you're able to view your PSN download page.

Yeah, I managed to get in and redeem but I was thrown out of it after and now can't get back in.

 

[VanCityGamer]

This is so frustrating! I keep getting a '404' error on the Redeem Code page of bungie.net. I need to get the download started within an hour since I leave for the day soon. Otherwise, I can't even start the 3-4 hour download until I'm home tonight.

 

[Kaiken]

Good thing I brought the Vita to work. Downloading now!

 

[Jest Chillin]

So then how do you think the game will access the internet to be played? Space magic?

The game won't launch at one specific time but rather each timezones local time, just like every other game.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

This crap needs to stop. If people are paying $50 a year for PS plus this crap absolutely needs to stop.

It is always going to happen though

 

[barit]

Holy Shit this game is amazing. The IQ is super clean, no pop-in´s, no low texture streaming (like Killzone). Aiming is superb, sound is bombastic, enemies are sick. Damn the hype was justified !

 

[Kun Aguero]

PSN is going to melt if everyone gets their Beta codes at the same time.

I predicted this earlier today.

Why didn't Bungie and Sony use some common sense?

 

[Scarphace]

Question, how many digits are PSN codes?

12

 

[OneEyeTwoHead]

Yup, just used up my second code. Wonderful stuff.

You guys are unbelievable. People with no patience throw reason completely out of the window.

Wanna know why your downloads list was empty? Because PSN is getting HAMMERED, and you obviously know it isn't really empty if you've ever downloaded something from PSN.

 

[red731]

It still downloads if u see that error. You can check the information of the client.

So that is why I already had 7% after numerous tries.

 

[Izayoi]

If it you keep spamming it, it'll work. If you're able to redeem your codes, then you're able to view your PSN download page.

On the PS4 store? On the website? Where at? My PS4 store page is totally blank.

 

[burritosenior]

Wonder why they didn't do this from the start.

The codes were always going to be e-mailed. They alternative was that if you didn't want to wait for the e-mail, you would be able to go to Bungie.net's redeemed codes page and access the three codes from there. It just so happens that the shortcut overloaded Bungie.net, so now you only have e-mail.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Destiny on the Xbox one will be a ghost town.

No it won't

 

[Conkerkid11]

Ugghh....

 

[Mind]

Fucking CE346328 from Beta. Getting sick of it.
All my friends are in and playing. I'm left out in XMB.

 

[CLBridges]

50% downloaded, I'm starting to feel a little excited. Can't wait to touch down in Old Russia again and complete some new story and side missions.

 

[jesu]

5667MB on PS3 and I'm getting it at a decent speed.
A third done after 15 minutes is pretty good.

I've had FIFA demos that take hours on my 360.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

This crap needs to stop. If people are paying $50 a year for PS plus this crap absolutely needs to stop.

This happens with almost every single LARGE scale online game when it comes online.

its the nature of the beast.

 

[A Serious Man]

The new intro/tutorial is much better than the old one (which was really just a repurposed dungeon of sorts) and there is a lot more world building in your first hour of the game now.

 

[Jsquared77]

Sorry if this is a dumb question...but when I got to the my codes section on bungie.net I have 3 sets of codes. Even though I only redeemed one preorder (from gamestop). I tried to redeem one on my PS4 and got the maintance error. What are the other 2 codes?

 

[Poker Face]

The poll on destiny GAF bnet says otherwise

Yes because a poll on the internet comprised of mostly people involved in the alpha is an accurate representation of Xbox users as a whole.

yup makes sense.

 

[dmr87]

Will they ever learn to let people pre-load for a few days or let people in in waves? smh

 

[Forceatowulf]

First I was jealous of the ones who got codes. Then I was jealous of the ones who downloaded the beta. Now I'm jealous of the ones with superior download speed.

This is gonna take an entire god damn day at this rate....

 

[CREMSteve]

I think i want the alpha voice lol

Me too, you see what you bozos did with all of your complaining?

Yuck.

 

[JustProgress]

I'm just now trying to get this working. My Bungie account won't work cuz I can't log in through PSN, so I assume PSN is down? What a mess

 

[ERMint13]

This sucks.

I kept trying and kept getting that message. Restarted PS4 and bam I'm in...

 

[Hidden One]

I think i fucked up.

I tried restoring license from my EU account and now a lock has appeared on the destiny beta and it says this content has expired. When I try to restore license from my USA account it always gets an error when it's about to finish. FML.

 

[TimmiT]

Well, I got somewhere at least.

 

[Pillville]

This happens with almost every single LARGE scale online game when it comes online.

.... and it needs to stop.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

WTF does this have to do with console wars?

Not specifically you. Just comments before yours made it about Sony systems, how Xbox Live never has significant issues, and so on and so forth.

Probably shouldn't have piggybacked off of a response to your comment, so that's my bad. But I do think there's a lot of ignorance on server issues being displayed that many people are just taking the non-contextualized route on putting it on specific platforms.

 

[dioxys]

i dont understand how network admin dont plan for this crap. I mean if I did my job like this I would be fired. Its like OMG we are getting a ton of network traffic/requests!!!

They can plan for this, but the BETA is a demo, and bandwidth/servers for this kind of spike is very fucking pricy and not worth it.

 

[daffy]

Where did I say it was exclusive to PSN? That's what we're trying to get the beta on right now so that's what we're talking about. XBL is irrelevant to the conversation.

I don't think it'll be as stressed at launch. Wouldn't it be intermittent in terms of people getting online. Like right now my mom literally just called me and told me her download is buffering. But at launch it'll only be the midnighters trying all at once.

imo

 

[matrixman92]

how are people even redeeming codes. On ps4 it just immediately tells me its down for maintenace. The online webpage wont even load for me, its just infinite loading

 

[CornDogg]

Hopefully Sony and Bungie learn a thing or two from this and get the capacity stuff nailed down so this doesn't happen on 9/9.

 

[Marvel]

The left hand side of the PS Store flashes up for a nanosecond and then I get the maintenance message. Such a tease.
