Christ! My copy of Destiny is waiting for me at home.. It's going to be a loooooooooong day at work!

 

[Cappa]

erm are you positive about that? that doesn't sound right to me, i don't think sony/bungie or anyone else would do that, unless you pay something to upgrade

yes, free but not until Wednesday.

you cunningly bought the digital PS3 edition of Destiny for a free upgrade to the PS4 version with a £5 saving, then you won’t be able to access the game on your new console until at least Wednesday.

Bungie have updated the FAQ on their website, detailing their expected time frame:

The PlayStation®4 digital upgrade will be available to you as close to launch as possible. We anticipate the PlayStation®4 version will be ready for you by Wednesday 9/10 at 6pm PDT, but please check back here for updates. Unfortunately, the PlayStation®4 upgrade will NOT be available for pre-order or pre-load.

Luckily, you can still play on PS3 at the moment and when the PS4 upgrade does become available, you’ll be able to transfer your character and progress over instantly. This does mean that you’re going to have to wait a bit though, with the download of the PS4 version taking even longer.

The free upgrade offer is available from PS3 to PS4 and Xbox 360 to Xbox One and will expire on January 15th 2015, so you have until then to get the game at a discount. Just not quite instantly.

I think the PS3>PS4 upgrade starts working on Friday.

Where have you seen that?

Because this says nothing of the sort?

Just picked up my copy from local really small gamestore. There were 4 other ppl on the line, everyone bought Destiny.

I feel like my year (?) old ~4 million prediction might fall a little short.

Have the servers survived the launch?

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

Is it OK to dismantle old low level guns or is there a reason to keep them?

 

[Ivory Samoan]

Just seen the level cap is somewhere in the 20's?

Is this true?

20 is the soft cap, you can go as high as your gear allows after this using 'motes of light'.

I think this gear cap is around 26, but I could be wrong... also, gear required 2 motes of light could essentially make the limit 32 etc.

 

[Deku Tree]

Fantastic title. So many pages while I was sleeping.

 

[H1PSTER]

Pulse rifles feel great to use.

The Inner Circle Emblem is really nice.

Is that the legendary one? Yeah I'm using that one at the minute.

 

[NZerker12]

Ughh, I hate royal mail. Amazon says my delivery estimate is today yet when the postman comes, no parcel in sight.

Looks like I won't be playing it today

 

[AkelisRain]

So, why can't I download the PS4 version of the game? I did the Digital Guardian Edition for PS3 since you also get the PS4 version. When I go to the store on the PS4 and add it to my cart, it still says that I owe 89.99. Of I just add the game, it says I owe 59.99. WTF is going on?

It probably won't refresh till tonight when psn updates.

 

[thenexus6]

SPACE MAGIC!!

Arrived at 10:30, got a free headset with it (apparently its sucks it hey didn't cost me nothing extra) from ordering with tesco. What does the tesco t-shirt look like for those that got it?

 

[Karl Hawk]

You can dismantle them when you don't need them. They change to weapon parts and they can be used to upgrade higher-level gear.

Yeah it is.

 

[Foxix Von]

Oh, man great games. Sharkjaw and Finjitzu that shit was crazy. Absolutely crazy.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

[kittens]

Anyone know what the strength stat does? I have some gear that boosts it.

It was mentioned in this topic iirc.
But your link says otherwise so I would trust that.

 

[TheContact]

I won't be able to play till 5pm today but I have tomorrow off so tonight I'm going all out

 

[Foxix Von]

Melee cooldown IIRC

Super recharge is faster.

^^ or is it melee? lol can't remember, but you can just scroll over the icon with the cursor and it tells you what it does.

 

[Karl Hawk]

Decreasing your melee ability cool-down.

The Cupeth slayed thy Mad Squid King with swift jabs of thy's blade

Wall of Shame:

When I went to sleep I was sure that I would be bumped off that list...

 

[glaurung]

So, apparently there are already players running around in the game with maximum level. I just saw a screenshot of a lv

Dat feel when you win the first Crucible game you play, only to then lose the rest of your matches ;_;

That's intellect.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

The vanguard armory items cost 250 glimmer each? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BUNGIE?

Probably playing since 4AM PDT yesterday. Dedication.

Glimmer is super easy to come by. Just go on a Patrol quest on Old Russia, then farm those respawning chests.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Don't tell me Vanguard armory is tied to your class...

Such Bullshit

I wanted a Scout Rifle + Shotty ; ;

 

[BlindMonkey]

Still nothing for me from Tesco in the UK, really pissed off i've been awake for 4 hours waiting.

 

[derFeef]

Ah crap, I bought it - it's currently downloading on my XBO at home. Life is over.

 

[Gazkapop]

I think my postman has been consumed by The Darkness.

 

[Poodlestrike]

In your opinion.

Naturally. I find it hard to muster any counter-arguments, though.

 

[Hedgey]

If you hover over the little icons to the left of your equipment, there will be a pop-up indicating what each stat does for the class you are using.

 

[CuteSpaceGoblin]

It's arrived!!!

How's PSN holding out in the UK? I'm thinking about taking an early day.

Holding up fine so far. Friends listing all ok, store held up fine whilst redeeming the Limited Edition content.

Friends and family and Bungie employees got head starts. Plus leveling is quick

 

[IAmRandom31]

Loving the companion app. Can't play but I'll be damned if I won't be checking out every little thing in this app.

278 kills so far, 122 precision kills. " Best Weapon ", Hand Cannon. Damn right!

I see this one section called " Nearest Bonuses " with things like Dreg, Glimmer Income Bonus 136/1000

Never seen that before, anyone know what it is?

Also, Kudos to Sony / Bungie for handling this launch like a champ. Damn. Was able to play this morning without any issues at all. Well done.

 

[HudsonD]

20 minutes left at work...game and free headset delivered and waiting at home. Resorted to just watching the clock now...

 

[Vitanimus]

So happy right now.

!

See you in game soon!

Oh wow, I would never have guessed that. Thanks!

Yay! Let's team up this evening!

You've got to give them credit for a stable launch

 

[Upinsmoke]

This post man is getting strung up when he arrives.

 

[BeforeU]

Woke up created my guardian, finished the first level. Now I will have to wait until I come back from work

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

No scout rifle in the vanguard armory items. Such bullshit.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Is the vanguard stuff supposed to be free after the code or no?

 

[Novum_Veritas]

If anyone wants to play some rounds of PvP or Story mode, just write me a message on PSN, I would gladly play with Destiny GAF
