This seems to be wrong or doing it risks a PSN ban. You have to play on your NZ PSN.

People all over the world purchase games from other regions on PSN. The slightest amount of Googling reveals as much.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

I wasn't going to get this until PC but the hype is starting to get to me. I really shouldn't though, since I'm playing FFXI at the moment as well. But I can literally pick up a copy and be playing in half an hour. Blah.

 

[noomi]

Physical copies work as well, no matter where you are.

Did you actually get a disk version? I got the digital.

Hope to see you guys tonight. I'll be on at midnight, but want to go through campaign initially so I might not join party chat if you're in there.... or I'll join and mute you guys

Moving to the PC sucks :'(

Nah, worth it for that sweet sweet 60 FPS. Waiting the extra 2 months sucks though...

In-game Destiny 2 Clan Features will be unavailable for the first several days after launch. Stay tuned for announcements of availability.

Darn.

Changing the primary region of your PS4 to circumvent game lunch times is agains the PSN tos and is bannable. I Just want people to be aware of it even if other people do it.

 

[Midas]

Now to figure out how to sleep in the middle of the day at least for a few hours.
Damn, I've never been so hyped about the game.

This is amazing

For you multi console peeps, which version are you picking up? Are there any exclusive levels or weapons like in D1 for PS4 or are we all same across the board here?

Deku pls.

You can't change the region of your PS4 to circumvent game launch times.

You can however buy a game from any region store and play it. That's not against TOS.

 

[Lima]

There is more story in the first 10 minutes of this game than in the entire first one lol.

For future reference what affect, if any, does this have on buying DLC thereafter?

 

[Eric WK]

You would have to buy the DLC from the same region.

 

[Shrennin]

I saw a *little* bit of the gameplay/story after the beta ended from Dato's stream. It's so far so much better than anything in the first Destiny story wise. It seems to be Halo story tier.

I am not watching any more though. I need to be surprised.

 

[Gothos]

If you're waiting for the release and can't sleep/work etc. go watch some Netflix show Time will fly... Unfortunetely I'm going PC, so yeah... Anyway, can't wait to hear your impressions guys!

Lmao do you actually research anything before typing this rubbish?

 

[X-Frame]

So the character creator is literally 100% the same as D1? For anyone who has seen it ..

 

[Caim]

Has to be from the same region.

Best info I have is that D2 won't unlock early unless you change the region of your PS4.

 

[DNAbro]

I should stop watching a stream cause this story legit feels pretty compelling so far.

 

[urge26]

So in theory I can connect to my VPN via my router and play? Is that against the TOS?

Can't watch the video - is it 1 year exclusive like in D1 or did they change that...?

 

[saveweyard]

Watching a stream currently and this song right now is so good!

Spoiler

At the Farm.

Meh, I really dislike this exclusive shit. I guess PC & Xbox won't get these for the first year.

I imagine the same rules apply with DLC1 and DLC2, exclusive PS4 content that other platforms won't get to enjoy for an entire year :/

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

Until Fall 2018!

 

[royalroyal]

Still waiting on GameStop to start processing my physical Collector's Edition... I'm just hoping I get the damn game this week

I thought I was the only one! Gamestop please ship.

yep i stopped after the first level

You cannot change the region of your PS4. You can buy the game from another region's PSN store.

And yes, it works:

[RE4PRR]

Damn it, NZ mate is in the social area rn. Still another hour and 13 mins.

 

[Deku Tree]

Omg I don't care. Done with talking about NZ D2.

 

[Midas]

Do it. I'm not watching anything. It's just 9 more hours.

 

[Hoffelcopter]

The wait for PC hurts. Want to play now, but don't want to double dip and don't want to play with a controller and 30fps. Ugh. Only what, 6 more weeks?

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Do we know if the CC is better? Im just waiting for a Character Creator video Lol

 

[Eric WK]

Do we know if the CC is better? Im just waiting for a Character Creator video Lol

All I've heard this morning is that it's the same as D1. I haven't seen it personally.

 

[Caim]

You have to make a NZ PSN account and actually buy the game on that PSN store to play it right now digitally. There is nothing you can do to make US digital copies unlock early.

Edit: Beaten.

 

[Shrennin]

I don't know exactly but from what I've heard, it's not much different from the original Destiny's.

 

[EL CUCO]

Fall 2018.

 

[Midas]

Character creator:

Spoiler

I've seen a screenshot which basically looked like it was straight outta Destiny 1. Might be more colors etc, but nothing big

Preach. I'm on PS4 so luckily just by the grace of god I can get everything with relative ease (except the ISP-locked sparrow lol) but I resent knowing that other gamers are locked out of content. At no point in D1 did I think "Man, I love Hawkmoon and I am so glad that people on Xbox can't have it". I get that it's Sony paying for the development of the content but at the same time I'd rather just have equality.

 

[DNAbro]

yep i stopped after the first level

we played that already though, it's the stuff immediately after that made think that wow this is going to great.

Yea I just saw its the same. I may wipe my titan, he's ugly.

Basically as I expected ¯_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Rahvar]

I get off work at 19:00 CET. Going to go to bed early, wake up at 4.00 and play until I have to get ready for work at 10:00

 

[Dead Prince]

almost hurr.

 

[Shrennin]

Disappointing, but expected. Oh well. As long as the other parts of the game are much improved.

 

[silver.tongue]

Question, if I delete a char in destiny 2, can I still go back to it if I decide to play destiny 1?

 

[NowhereFaded]

Sor if already asked but, can we edit d1 characters in d2 if we import?

 

[noomi]

Just so I'm clear... there is no benefit to importing characters from D1, right?

I have a hunter/lock/titan but I would totally be cool to start from scratch....

 

[Lucifon]

Wait...the game has 5 strikes + 1 exclusive for PS4. So the same amount as Destiny 1?

Are we in for another barebones level of content again Pls no.

 

[eizarus]

Think someone mentioned earlier in the thread that it just effects the "playing since" stat.

Nope.
