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

Graphics have improved. Aim Assist isn't as strong. Obviously starting off at lvl 0 means you don't have any the abilities or equipment you had in the alpha either.

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.
Aha! So it was downloading on the background while I was playing another game. It's confusing with how it's displayed in the notifications area. PEACE.

Been trying for over an hour on my download list and keep getting this page.

Best advice I've heard is "keep trying it works after a few retries". After about a hundred attempts, maybe more, I'm still getting this screen.


I got round it by putting the PS4 into standby, going to the store on my PC and pressing download to PS4 from there, it started to download as soon as I switched my console on.

I uhhh.. what..

sounds like something is very wrong.
Definitely

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.
Can someone help please?

Don't know what happened.

Hey guys, NoTacos here (notacosbeykidd on Bungie/PSN).

Right now, me and some of the other DestinyGAF Beta players are participating in a Commuinty Charity Event through Child's Play, a charity organization that is funded by the gaming industry as well as you, the gamers.

The event is being held in tournament format and will feature a series of competitions for users to test their skill. As it stands, the buy-in to the tournament is $5, but if you're just willing to play for fun and give to a noble cause, then even the smallest donation counts (just leave a comment in the format of <gafusername>//<bungieusername> on the donation page so your donation can be acknowledged/you can be entered into the tournament). A simple $1 or $2 donation can go a long way in doing some good. And if you're feeling a bit more generous, that's fine too! Basically, donate as little or as much as you see fit and help GAF give back to children's hospitals around the world.

Click Here for the link to the Community Charity Event thread and Here for the link to the donation page. For more detailed info on the tournament works, please contact GAF member broony.

Thanks for your time and support. Catch you in the wild.

I fucking HATE download clients. I really fucking do.


I just got my download stopped with no justification whatsoever, and now I can't reboot the download process in any physical way.


edit: It took 5 minutes for a restart. Jesus, TERRIBLE technology.

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.

Thanks for the reply. So do we have an ETA, on when these regional clans will be up?

Edit: Ignore my question, found the Beta Clan thread.

that's what i was getting. go to the psn website, log in, find your download list and there will be a button to add it to your ps4 queue. sorry if late.

Holy Traveler, Destiny has one of the slickest menus/NPC interaction I've ever seen in a game.

The load-times need to be fixed for the retail version though.

I've literally been screwed out of the beta.
Quit the client and re-open it. It should continue from where it stopped.

Hunters are great because the Double Jump is great and with a Charge Rifle you can fuck some shit up. Incindeary grenades are essentially Hadokens. Also Double Jump. Places like Old Russia thrives on Double Jump.

Why are you /not/ a Hunter

I edited my post to reflect the fact that it did, but there's no reason that it should take a full five to seven minutes to do so. If they're going to have this stupid, illogical middle-manning, they can at least give me the courtesy of a real download button.

I can't afford to be at my game console every minute while a game downloads, so while I know people are going to be silly and hate on me for noting a very real design flaw in this kind of practice, it really does have an impact on me and my ability to play the game.

I'm scared that if I put my PS4 is standby mode my install will stop. I'm just so used to thinks DLing/installing from the PS4 menu. Can I just standby mode from the Destiny install screen and it will continue to do its thing?

I'd like the share the sentiment that the companion app is slick as hell. Updates instantly.

Although what's the deal with Grimoire cards then? If I collect them and all, why are they still redacted? It was like this in the alpha too. Am I missing some information here?
