zero chance I'll be playing tonight with this slow as shit download.

question is, do I wake up at 4 or 5am to play and stream the British Open from my laptop. hmmm

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Hmm. The game is still great but after powering through the alpha on 3 toons and maxing them out I might only do a little with the beta since I'll be doing these missions again in a month.

 

[Nipo]

i started it at like 4:30est and im at 83%.............this is no bueno.

Is it a local thing? I started at 630pm est and was done by 715.

 

[Yoday]

It's disappointing to see so many having download speed issues. I didn't start my download until about 3:30pm PST, and I downloaded both the PS3 and PS4 versions in about an hour, starting one after the other.

On a side note, holy hell does the PS3 version look bad. It is so incredibly blurry. The resolution seems to be painfully low among other things.

 

[illmatic22]

Hey guys, whats the best way to earn glimmer? Sorry if already asked.

 

[terrible]

I started at like 3:50PM and I'm at 82% so it could be worse.

 

[reKon]

Fuck. I'm not going to get to play this tonight so I guess it's not until Sunday for me where I'll finally get to play it. I should started the download in the morning before heading to work..

 

[LiK]

Beta is so much better than the Alpha. Loving it.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Playing the first mission, and damn that drop ship coming out of hyper space was a pretty effect!

 

[DryvBy]

Man, this is a HUGE improvement over the alpha. Absolutely love it!

I would have played longer but I had my dad and another guy wanting to play tonight. I promised them. :/

 

[Shining Sunshine]

This download reassures me that disc for big games is the way to go.

 

[rdrr gnr]

In PvP, what are you supposed to do when an enemy has their super? You just have to take a death every time.

 

[moonbox]

Can't believe people are still have trouble getting the download. It's hard enough to believe that some of you have been downloading all day. Crazy shit.

 

[Courage]

I'm still disappointed visually. Looks a lot like a last gen game, other than resolution. I hope they fix up some of the textures by launch.

 

[SeanR1221]

Is it worth turning off the ps4 and turning it back on or will this cancel my download completely?

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Isn't the tower supposed to be teeming with other players?

Mines empty.

 

[LiK]

hah, no prob. i'm done for the night.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I had no issues. Downloaded in less than an hour for me. Plus this game has pre loading for release

 

[Karl Hawk]

Set your roster to public in the settings. It worked for me.

 

[Replicant]

It is the same.

BLEH. Android Warlock it is then!

I thought I can at least have some ME3-level character customization.

 

[SeanR1221]

Can this download in standby?

 

[Karl Hawk]

Can this download in standby?

Yes.

 

[tmac456]

been downloading since 3pm EST. haven't checked it in the past hour but it was at 43%. abysmal. my internet isn't very good by any means but i've never had this slow of a download

 

[Vire]

You should take a look at the PS3 version...

 

[constantstatic]

Took me about an hour to download wasn't to bad.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Team balancing is fucking horrible. Started one match 2v6, and was down two an entire other match.

yea they need to not start matches without a full team. have often been in 5v6 or 4v6 matches.

fireteams also got split up in the alpha sometimes in crucible. anyone experience that again?

 

[SeanR1221]

Yes.

Ok thanks gonna try that see if it speeds up

 

[Gxgear]

Um, is there additional content compared to the alpha? Haven't seen anything new other than adding some polish to the mission structure.

Drops seems to have improved which is kind of nice.

 

[antitrop]

I disagree, I think it looks sufficiently next-gen. I notice plenty of framedrops, but I'm certainly not disappointed in any way by how it looks, though.

And at least there's no screen tearing.

 

[AzureAngel27]

Does anyone know if you can change the way your character's face looks after you first create it? Or are you stuck with it forever?

 

[RoKKeR]

Wow at the moon dick tease, so lame.

 

[Ramocalypse]

Is the exp buffed in the beta? seems like people are leveling up waaaay fast

 

[Vire]

Wow at the moon dick tease, so lame.

Yeah I don't even get the point of that shit. We know it's in the game, why put that there.

 

[shungokusatsu]

Started my download the second codes went out and mine finished in 5 minutes. Started my nephew's download at 4pm PT and it just now finished at 6:20pm PT. We're on the same network with 300Mbps, so I think the slow downloads are simply due to everyone being home and off work and downloading the beta.

 

[everyday math]

I have yet to see a single person in the city....and yes it's set to public.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Holy shit at this intro mission. Holy shit at the visual bump. Holy shit! This game is going to fucking ROCK on release. I said god damn, god damn

 

[Gaz_RB]

Um, is there additional content compared to the alpha? Haven't seen anything new other than adding some polish to the mission structure.

Drops seems to have improved which is kind of nice.

A couple more MP maps and a few more missions.

 

[LiK]

Wow at the moon dick tease, so lame.

such a shame they took out the line. hopefully they add it back in.

 

[bamboobimbo]

You should take a look at the PS3 version...

It's freaking ugly, technically speaking. I'm not sure if it's just that i've been PC gaming for a few years or it's a badly done port.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Downloaded in 15 minutes or so. Use direct connect instead of wifi if you can

 

[bebop242]

Hmm. The game is still great but after powering through the alpha on 3 toons and maxing them out I might only do a little with the beta since I'll be doing these missions again in a month.

Feel the same way. I plan on spending some time with it this weekend and that will probably be it. I want to keep the game fresh for release day.

 

[Portugeezer]

I'm still disappointed visually. Looks a lot like a last gen game, other than resolution. I hope they fix up some of the textures by launch.

In some areas the lighting looks flat, but aside from that I think it looks solid and what makes it for me is the aesthetics; the game has so much style (I said wow at some of the sky boxes)

I never expected much graphically from Bungie, but you never know, the jump from Halo 3 to Reach was pretty big.

 

[LaneDS]

Once the 11GB download starts, can you turn off the system and resume the download from where you left off? Having the same slow speed issues as a lot of folks and want to try either that (or putting the system into standby) to see if it helps any.

 

[LiK]

i notice the respawn rate is still too fast. maybe it's just a Beta thing but enemies respawning literally 10 seconds after i killed them is kinda lame especially for a large mob.

 

[Apathy]

aww same old max level. Although the new quest stuff is good.

 

[Laguna X]

I just got back from work and started my download. Looks like it'll take about an hour to finish, which gives me enough time to fix and have some dinner. Can't wait to kill some Fallen bastards.

 

[RoKKeR]

Yeah I don't even get the point of that shit. We know it's in the game, why put that there.

I was so pumped to see it pop up. Ah well, will make the full game that much more exciting.

Also they need to do a better job of showing you what the story mission progression is... Right now it's not super obvious.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

I had no issues. Downloaded in less than an hour for me. Plus this game has pre loading for release

Welcome to Canada, where you pay like $100 for 10mbit down.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Whats up woth the friend codes? I gave my 2nd codeto a friend and it says he cant purchase this product because he doesnt own Destiny.

 

[MattDoza]

Just got home and switched on my PS4 from stand by. ...89%?! 7.5 hours and counting to download is absurd. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I guess both.
