Support NeoGAF

[Dajanksta]

Damn I must have beaten the rush to download it. When I downloaded this morning it was done in 2 hours. Now it's at my house not being used because I'm at work.

 

[Xater]

Yep!

yeah go for it!

As-if anything is better than the waiting game.

Thanks guys. Gonna play some MLB then.

 

[Zareka]

Every time I want to play something else, it says I need to suspend the Destiny beta?

You do, but don't worry about it. It'll still keep downloading in the background. I'd post a screenshot to prove it, but I'm about 4% away from it finishing so I'm off to the moon. Whee!

 

[Icyflamez96]

Got it downloaded on PS3 and ready to go! WOOO

 

[The Librarian]

I know the missions are new but are there any new locations to explore?

No.

 

[twilitesparklemotion]

You have arms AND a shadow in this game? GOTY

 

[ProvenDeadly]

Someone help me out here.

My roomate just sent me a picture of my ps4 with the Destiny splash screen "press x to play"

Does that mean I am good to go, no downloading of anything else?

No. Click that and you will begin downloading.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Nope they cut the line out. No wizards from the Moon anymore.

That sucks. Should a kept it in for pure camp factor. New vocoded Dinklebot sounds better. That probably isn't saying much, but I'm fine with the new sound. PEACE.

 

[ohNOitsRO]

After almost 4 hours, I finally got it to start downloading... and now I have class /cry

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

No. Click that and you will begin downloading.

You don't have to click it from what others have figured out. Its confusing but it works. I didn't click it, showed up an hr later and download was at 70%.

HOWEVER, better safe than sorry.

 

[MattDoza]

So, I don't have to leave this client open to download? I just want to play something else to pass the time.

 

[Mamont1537]

Man, that cutscene with your ship made me so pumped for the game!
I also think this version looks better then alpha. Maybe I'm imagining things, but it seems like they've added lots of small details everywhere - more shadows, particles, effects.

 

[Fushichou187]

I thought the moon was selectable in the navigator? Did they remove it?

We've been hearing that it's more of a tease. It's there to look at but won't be selectable until retail release?

..Which seems kind of dickish, tbh... It's obvious there's a lot of content that won't be available until September. I'm hoping that that bit on Destiny's Beta Schedule that reads:

"7/26: Play the Beta starting @ 2PM PST to earn an exclusive emblem" might unlock that area for super short preview before the Beta ends.

 

[Pyccko]

50% downloaded. THE WAIT CONTINUES. Can't wait to start jumping around the tower again.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Was it just me or is the Wizard about 500% easier to kill?

 

[SocksAndShoes]

No don't! I know it's exciting..but...!
That WILL NOT help!

You mean yelling at my router won't help?

 

[FleetFeet]

Mines has been downloading for about an hour and a half already and it's still at 20%. I feel like I should start it over, that's unusually slow

I would stick with it... wouldn't want to start all over and having the same issue with speed!

 

[Vire]

Maybe they'll open up the moon area later in the beta? They did say the beta will evolve over time...

Also the download is 12 gigs instead of 6.7 for the alpha, there has to be some more goodies in here.

 

[Fracas]

No.

 

[super-famicom]

I hear you need GAF Gold to access the Moon.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Progress and stats transfer between versions. Just got on PS4 and my classes are there.

 

[Skeletron]

You don't need to do anything to get it started downloading. Even outside of the splash screen, it's downloading. Click the Option button on your controller, then Information, while looking at the Destiny Beta tile to see the exact progress.

 

[mcfrank]

Progress and stats transfer between versions. Just got on PS4 and my Titan and everything is there.

I wish that was the case between PS4 and Xbone since I have friends on both.

 

[Halo 2]

You mean yelling at my router won't help?

I saw "come on bandwith"
not safe breh

 

[On Demand]

Wow I think I'm sold. The interface is gorgeous and very well designed. And I'm loving the RPG style upgrade elements. There's alot of stuff to go through. And my god Tower Watch is fucking amazing. I can see where this is going and I'm definitely going along for the ride.

Gaf....we're on the verge of something big. Damn.

 

[pronk420]

wait theres totally a mission on the moon. but its locked. does it unlock at level 6?

 

[BokehKing]

I'm still waiting for something to go wrong, it went from download to 'playable' in a matter of 2 minutes while at work hours ago, what is the possibility that my ps4 somehow downloaded it last night? I did order the digital copy off psn

 

[My Name Is Luke]

So yeah, I entered in my code in the PSN store on my PS4 and it's been stuck on a loading bar once I redeemed the code. Should I just give up and try entering in my code though other means or just wait it out?

 

[Hoodbury]

bah, finally got in PSN and entered my code and now my download que says waiting and eventually a message pops up above the table saying it'll start as soon as I turn on my PS4. I always leave my PS4 in standby mode.

Grr, so much for having it downloaded and ready to go when I get home from work.

another one.. one of us!

 

[Fattony12000]

Great game.

 

[The Librarian]

wait theres totally a mission on the moon. but its locked. does it unlock at level 6?

No.

 

[Simo]

wait theres totally a mission on the moon. but its locked. does it unlock at level 6?

No. Click it and it tells you to come back when the game launches in September or something to that degree. lol

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Awesome, my post is in OP!

Thanks all. Now time to go play some Destiny! Hopefully its smooth sailing from here on out.

 

[RS4-]

You unlock it after the level 5 story mission.

Ah, thanks

 

[Pimpwerx]

Any comments on changes since the alpha? Graphics? Controls? Weapons and class strengths? PEACE.

 

[SnakeEyes]

So anyone manage to set DGAF as their clan. I keep getting an error code, and so i'm unable to set DestinyGaf as my clan

We found out yesterday that each clan can only hold a max of 150 people (75 for PS and 75 for Xbone.) As such, the clan admins are creating regional clans for people to join, all with the DGAF tag, under the DestinyGAF umbrella.

 

[Alucrid]

er am i crazy or does this look better than the alpha

 

[SocksAndShoes]

I saw "come on bandwith"
not safe breh

Wow, that went right over my head.

 

[Massa]

I have it downloading on PS4. If I quit the game, will it save the download progress? Want to play some Watch Dogs now.

 

[Plasmid]

Went exploring, found a hallowed acolyte and other big monsters that are "IMMUNE!" To bullets

Do not engage archons head on alone!

 

[Melchiah]

Finally in! Took me nearly three hours.

The intro and music are great.

 

[Enco]

I have NO idea what the hell is going on.

The 'game' downloaded in about 30 seconds. After many tries I managed to load in and then got a load of loading screens, a quick character creation and weird cutscene.

I then got dumped into a singleplayer mission with no audio apart from Tyrion's voice.

No idea what is happening and if the game downloaded. Don't know how to get into multiplayer.

First impressions are pretty poor.

my wife just said that I got an error:

Error

Lost connection to partner services. Please check your network configuration and try again. For info on resolving this issue visit help.bungie.net and search for caterpillar

she started the game again and the DL started right where it was.

I uhhh.. what..

sounds like something is very wrong.

It's the Alpha with more stuff, essentially

Glad to hear it didn't get on your router.

Three hours?

 

[Fehyd]

Having played the alpha...

The story missions really are tantalizing, giving glimpses are the background and history of the setting. Love it.

Also, the music, my god the music. There's one particular mission later in the beta where this epic score just starts booming and its one of those "fuck yeah!" moments that you get every once in a while in gaming. Those who have played the

Spoiler

level 5 mission

know what I'm talking about.

Oh yeah, and character voices. Swear to god the male player character Exo almost sounds like MC.
