Playing Destiny without a dedicated group really makes me feel like I have no friends. . I just don't have any friends that play video games. And I keep getting wrecked. Is there anyway to join a squad before you start a mission, like enter into a public one instead of randomly have people join me throughout?

I was disappointed it didn't auto-group with randoms when I started a mission.

I guess I gotta message every single random people I see...

 

[MWS Natural]

Got to 71% in like 45mins but now it's just been sitting here for 15.

 

[Willkiller]

Will it download if I turn my PS4 onto standby? Not sure with it running in it's own client.

Didn't get to try it yet as only found it just before logging but I think its on the statistics screen you can change your fire team mode from friends only to public

 

[jacksepticeye]

Is it just my setup or is the performance of this game kinda choppy? It feels really stuttery at times

 

[ComputerBlue]

That's my take-away thus far as well.

Been there, done that. While I enjoyed the alpha, it feels like such a tiny tiny slice that it's hard to get overwhelmingly excited for it.

Yeah, when that mission on the moon popped up I couldn't wait to get to level 6, got to level 6 and realized that it says it won't be available until the final build is out.

Are you playing pvp or pve? I've been wanting to play with you since alpha!

I don't see you on my in game list for some reason though...

 

[JB1981]

Really dumb the way they did this beta. Started the download from work and when I get home I go into the dang thing and find out that I NOW have to download almost 11 gigs :/. Wish I could do something else while this dang thing downloads.

Didn't have that problem personally. The entire thing downloaded

 

[Enco]

Reinstalled the game and I still have no sound.

No menu music or anything.

 

[krypt0nian]

This is fantastic.

Loved the alpha but having story beats and cinematics in the beta makes it so much better.


God this game can't launch soon enough.

Because of the Traveler. Damn, playing this game - is like watching Star Wars film.

The game really is that damned good. I'm already fearing for the time between beta and release.

 

[Chanser]

I presume most are choosing warlock?

 

[Fushichou187]

this game. this fucking game.

goodbye life

Better swap in some new tats then

 

[Spine_Ripper]

so i preordered on psn but i don't see a beta nor a beta code?

I downloaded it before psn and bungie's site crashed this morning by going on the store, going to games, and click on this giant banner that was promoting the beta. I also just got an email from Sony just now about the beta as well. Check the store or your emails, should be able to access it by now.

 

[katsubento]

Will it download if I turn my PS4 onto standby? Not sure with it running in it's own client.

Yes. I've tried it. If continues to download.

 

[thatmariolover]

Absolutely not.

They literally just said they hadn't made any definite decisions like, yesterday. Was there another announcement?

 

[Dirtbag]

My biggest complaint is the combat feels limited without extra grenades and more explosions since I find myself holding onto abilities longer, since they take so long to charge. Combine that with the removal of the constant weapon salvaging of halo games, where you always need to swap things up on the fly and I'm left with combat that feels a bit repetitive.

 

[On Demand]

So the Beta is pretty much the same as the Alpha other than a few new missions and an extra PvP map? Kinda disappointing.

FOR YOU! lol.

First time playing and i can see the potential. Game is fantastic. I finally get it.

And Bungie has probably designed the best UI ever in a game. It feels so smooth and looks futuristic. I love the music too.

 

[MWS Natural]

Got to 71% in like 45mins but now it's just been sitting here for 15.

Anyone else's download just freeze? Should I close the installer and relaunch it?

 

[pixlexic]

found it... i had to actually go download it from psn. That was crappy I was hoping it auto downloaded while I was at work.

 

[MrS]

The PvP is really, really cool

 

[krypt0nian]

I presume most are choosing warlock?

Did 'Lock in Alpha, trying Titan now, and Hunter before Beta end.

 

[BokehKing]

Little disappointed that they removed "that wizard came from the moon!"

 

[JB1981]

This game is just class all around.

How do I change it so my game is public and can join other players ?

 

[Anilusion]

Is this 60 fps on ps4?

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

So after playing the Alpha, the Beta is even more of a tease, ugh!

 

[Jarnet87]

Downloaded the beta and installed earlier, been playing for about an hour. First impression is it does feel similar to Borderlands, but the combat is better IMO. Also I prefer 3rd person shooters, but I like the touches they did in 3rd person like when you are in town. Did the first two missions, like it so far.

Question: How do you go about finding people to party with? I see that you can invite people on a friends list but I never play online games so I have zero ppl on friends lists. Do you see them about when you are at The Tower or out on mission in the world? or is there like an LFG system that you get later on?

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Just got a voice mail from home that the Beta is fully downloaded and installed! One more hour until I get home. ONE MORE HOUR.

 

[fritzo]

ugh!! Stuck at work! hopefully the beta is downloaded and ready for me when I get home. Can't watch any streams. Want a fresh experience.

Yea, that's definitely an issue. It's the COD philosophy of hide and seek to another degree. You as the player are constantly waiting for this or that bar to fill up.

 

[Interficium]

Is this 60 fps on ps4?

No. There's no FOV slider either. Feel free to cancel all your preorders, burn your PS4, etc.

 

[originalself]

Download complete, now just waiting to get off work.

 

[PigzFly]

Little disappointed that they removed "that wizard came from the moon!"

Oh bummer :'(

 

[OneEyeTwoHead]

Is this 60 fps on ps4?

No, never was.

You can definitely notice it dip below 30 and into the 20s during this beta.

 

[On Demand]

This game is just class all around

Sony knew exactly what they doing when they partnered with Activision/Bungie for this game.

 

[Raxious]

if anyone wanna play, just add me on PSN: Raxious.

 

[Enco]

Reinstalled the game and I still have no sound.

No menu music or anything.

Can anyone help me out?

Sound works normally in other games.

 

[Saint Francis]

pre ordered the game at gamestop ps4/NA
code doesn't work.
can anyone pm me a North American PS4 code?

 

[Jarmel]

Little disappointed that they removed "that wizard came from the moon!"

I'm not. It was a shitty line.

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

Is there is other classes?

The game really is that damned good. I'm already fearing for the time between beta and release.

I want to play more, but don't want redo everything again, as beta characters will be wiped.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

How long does the transferring game content step take? Jesus...

 

[Anilusion]

No, never was.

You can definitely notice it dip below 30 and into the 20s during this beta.

Alright. I'm playing on PS3 and it's pretty hard with the low fps. Too bad it seems to be the same on ps4.

 

[Darryl M R]

Are you playing pvp or pve? I've been wanting to play with you since alpha!

I don't see you on my in game list for some reason though...

I'm hopping into pvp now--I just played pve until I could get access to pvp. Let's try to play a game soon once I get some better guns and hit the max.

And I have my group to public but I can't join a random team before being deployed.

Feel the same way, bud.

Be sure to set your Fireteam privacy to Public and you might have better luck!

 

[Recall]

How is the PS3 version of the destiny beta?

 

[Saint Francis]

is there a cut off time to enter codes at bungie.net?
going to gamestop now to cancel my pre order and try again with a new one.

 

[MWS Natural]

How long does the transferring game content step take? Jesus...

Yeah what i'm stuck on..71%

 

[DXLelouch153]

loving the hunter class the most so far
theres just something great about knifing fools in the back

 

[GladiatoR]

Been stuck at 7.43 out of 10.97GB for about 15 minutes.

How do I fix this?

Edit: Now it's going up again. After 15 minutes of staying at the same spot, with no changes to my actual connection. What the fuck.

 

[Anilusion]

How is the PS3 version of the destiny beta?

It looks pretty good except for the terrible image quality. Also the fps is really unstable.

 

[Fushichou187]

Little disappointed that they removed "that wizard came from the moon!"

Since it (and some other lines) are just edits and the content (tone, cadence, etc...) is all still the same, I'm guessing they are testing how people respond to the wizard-less narration. If there's an outcry for leaving the cheese in the final retail release, it wouldn't surprise me if they just put it back. The line is ridic, the robotic overlays they've put on your ghost's audio make everything a lot easier on the ears, imo.
