Destiny - The Taken King |OT| Time to Explain

I just got booted from Destiny for a game update.

Now when I launch destiny I'm starting at a PSN screen that says "Downloading Update..."

And an empty progress bar with no numbers.

I was booted a while ago and have been sitting at a really really slow moving "preparing to download" deal.

Oh, as I was typing this that finally hit 100% so it's now downloading a small-ish addition to the game. Was like 50ish megs I guess?
 
Yeah, I really don't care with Warlock or Titan since the class specific armor isn't really that centric to the looks of those classes, but for hunter, I put on the CE hood and criiiinged. The color and pattern is awesome, but lol at the size of it.
That's my big issue with it as well. Just hideous.
 
Is the pre-order stuff PS4 only? I pre-ordered on Amazon.ca since E3 for Xbox One. The game comes tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll get that Suros arsenal pack and the Vanguard armory access etc.

No, I got the DL for the weapons packs after preordering PS3 Taken King over the weekend.
 
Anyone had an issue that PSN says you've got an update for Destiny to download, but it says that you need to download 17GB again, after already downloading the 2.0 update already?!

Mine showed the whole size, but didn't actually need to download it all. It started out at around 17.6XX and only downloaded like 50-60MB of stuff.
 
I feel like I mind as well stay up... watching the Sony conference... Guess I will get like 3 or so hours of sleep before class. LOL.
 
this fucking bullshit is taking forever just to "prepare" to download

and i had already installed some 9mb update literally 10 minutes prior to booting up the game, after the 18gig patch

also why did it take literally 3-4 minutes to load into the hub world after the opening tutorial...and this is the 2.0 (1.14) version?

as soon as i went to start the first ACTUAL mission i get the popup about this "new" update....great first impression
 
considering the 18 gig patch downloaded within an hour, this better be a damn 50 gig patch with how slow its going....99% "prepared, to start downloading"
 
this is a triple a developer and publisher and they cant even read our hard drives and see that the patch is installed...like wtf and to take that long to do what ever the hell it was doing, it just took 30 god damn minutes of my life to do that...
 
Whats this update file that is downloading now, mine is stuck at 75% preparing download sigh.

It's a small ~50MB addition to the existing 2.0 patch. I have a feeling the long prepare time is it running a check to see what you already have installed.

its the fucking entire 2.0 patch, caching and as soon as it reaches 100% "preparing" you'll see the size of the "download" is exactly the same as the one from a week ago and it'll max out

i litterally booted the game 40 minutes ago, didnt get prompted for any updates, outside of 9mb an yet 30 minutes later(longer than i spent getting to the first mission you launch part of the game) im now back at the main screen

I guess its verifying then ready to unlock in about 40 minutes
 
It just added around 100 mb to the existing update.

i saw the screen, it said 17.6 whatever GIGS then the bar jumped halfway an then maxed out

if its 100mb, then they just made everyone redownload the friggen entire update just to then overrwrite with that 100mbs

It didn't redownload it man. It took me all of 20-30 minutes(if that) of the preparing then no time of downloading the small modification while the 17GB would've taken 4-6 hours for me. You gotta chill.

No, it takes the existing 17GB and adds 100MB. The preparing just takes that long since it checks the whole 17GB beforehand.

100mb's shouldnt take 40 minutes on a 80 fiber connection, especially when the initial 17 gigs proper, took just an hour

i just downloaded the friggen Xbox update which also came out tonight almost 300mbs earlier tonight, took like 10 minutes to be back to dash board, matter fact anyone whos playing on XBONE should chime in with how fast each went. i got it on PS4

It wasn't downloading for those 40 minutes. It was preparing. It was running a check on the existing patch data. Because it was a modification of an existing patch rather than a new one.

Different system, different handling of things. Don't know why they did it this way, but that's how it is.

Bungie and Activision know how to make games, its not like this is some off shoot company...

also this initial loading time is still taking too fucking long i hit X an im lookin at the friggen loading icon for like 4 minutes real time now, this is 2.0!!!

THEY hyped this up, and im just playing single player
 
OH wow, i have to TELL IT TO LOAD MY CHARACTER...wtf with the horrible mouse control which always idles on the other side of the screen so it has to slowly pan over....

this is 2.0? hasnt bungie designed a very successfull online multiplayer game in the past?

doesnt activision have a pretty succession series of games that also encompass online modes

talk about a first impresison

edit: FUCKING 5 SUB MENUS OF MOUSE CONTROLS NEEDED.....to actually launch back into the mission i was trying to do, the INITIAL MISSION of the single player
 
do you own the disc version or the digital?

mine is disc, which is why the 2.0 patch installed along side the full disc install so i have almost 40 gigs of space for a 19 gig game worth of assets

I have the digital version and have 37.4gb of Destiny installed. You aren't being screwed over.

Thanks for live blogging your reactions to everything in Destiny.
 
Urgh. TTK still not off my account. Want to buy the Digital Collectors Upgrade already for those exotic items! Bet it will still be there for a while and I'll miss out on the pre order stuff if they go away.
