So many gaffers first ever game launch. Kinda cute.

Does such though that this always happens.

 

[Mindlog]

Just like a theme park if you keep listening to the music you will get sick of it before you get to the end of the queue.

Listen to this classic Destiny banger instead.

 

[border]

I went straight to the game with no EULA. I think if you accepted the EULA in the beta then you don't have to do it again.

 

[norm9]

Got into the "game" but since it's not fully downloaded, I'm looking at an install screen that reads 77% with some nice music and game concept art. Don't want to get back in line so I can't exit the game, which I'm almost certain will make the game download faster.

 

[Rocketz]

I'm over 15 minutes on XB1. I'm just going to call it since I have to be up early anyway. Hopefully everything will be better when I get home tomorrow at 5.

 

[Bellamin]

It's really not and anyone running the show should consider this a failure. Paying customers having to wait 10+ minutes to play on launch day is a shitty customer experience.

Oh, my sweet summer child. Welcome to online gaming launches.

 

[carlsojo]

At least the queue gives me more time to agonize over my choice of class.

 

[joelseph]

Finally.got the EULA stay strong gaf

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Got dammit, Bungie. Why???

 

[purg3]

EULA - WE GETTIN THERE BOYS

 

[Obliterator]

Damn lots of my friends list getting in now but no progress for me yet :-(

 

[theonerayman]

18 minutes in just hit the eula. The Xbox servers are getting absolutely crushed

 

[Carm]

Hrm all you guys getting the Eula did you download the beta prior? I haven't seen a Eula screen, loading into beta mission now.

 

[Kill3r7]

Wow, been in line 15 minutes. If someone told me 20 years ago that there are line online as there is in real life i would have called them nuts... 15 minutes, wow.

This is nothing. I waited until 4AM before I could get into an online match for Halo MCC.

 

[Waylon Drums]

Oh, my sweet summer child. Welcome to online gaming launches.

This is a shit attitude. It's okay to want what you paid for.

 

[shungokusatsu]

Soooo, how crazy has the wait been?

 

[speiky]

Thread is going fast so I'll ask again:

Do you guys know which sub classes each class starts with? Is it both except for the TTK classes?

You start with the new classes. Solar warlock arc hunter void titan

 

[ethomaz]

OMG it shows how I beat the major activities... a lot of know names.

My first VoG.

 

[Jblanks]

At least the queue gives me more time to agonize over my choice of class.

Yea same.

Should I switch to Hunter or stay as a Hunter ?

 

[Foxxsoxx]

Finally got EULA after 17 minutes. Back in queue..

 

[The Last Wizard]

This is why always online should always be fought against, it will never be ready.

This is what I get for brushing my teeth like a good dog.

 

[purg3]

IN WOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Wallach]

I got in, and after watching the cutscene before the first mission it booted me.

At least the second queue was short I guess!

 

[lifeexpectancy]

... wat? The release date is TOMORROW, not today. No game with a release day of Wednesday has ever released 24h BEFORE official release date. you're completely and utterly wrong.



this. digital is getting "punished" by 1 hour compared to the few who are picking it up an hour early at GS.

They are beneftting by 12+h compared to everyone else who gets their pre-order in the mail tomorrow.

I believe he means games TYPICALLY release on tuesday for retail releases, which means monday night at midnight. Check Destiny 1's release. IIRC it was a Tuesday, because my mates and I played monday night at midnight (couldnt get onto the server till almost 2am tuesday though). So they decided to release this one on a weird day /shrug. Most US complaints are just because of being used to Tues releases. Im working so I dont really have skin in the game.

 

[Zyae]

This is a shit attitude. It's okay to want what you paid for.

So return the game

 

[Art Vandilay]

Yea same.

Should I switch to Hunter or stay as a Hunter ?

Man I'm sitting at the character select screen. Can't decide

 

[Zok310]

Reboot console if you in initial que for 15 mins. i did a did at 12:15 and got ingame by 12:18

 

[Effigenius]

Can you play through the campaign in co op right away? Or do you have to play it in single player first?

 

[Tragicomedy]

Yea same.

Should I switch to Hunter or stay as a Hunter ?

The latter.

I think beta players might be first in if they're skipping the EULA.

 

[Giftofgab24]

I went straight to the game with no EULA. I think if you accepted the EULA in the beta then you don't have to do it again.

I played the beta and got the eula screen. Only took 19 minutes!

Really not so bad in the grand scheme of things. You can only prepare so much. There's always things that are gonna happen that are beyond control.

 

[Sniffynose]

I got the EULA finally then the Que line again. My wife got in right away even though I clicked before her... game is sexist imho

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Anyone know if Gamestop has the usual "trade games toward _____ and get ___ bonus credit" for Destiny 2?

Wasn't going to get it after 1 but most of my friends and all my co-workers did.

 

[Shifty Capone1]

20 minutes in finally just accepted the EULA on X1. Now back to the queue!

 

[Obliterator]

This is why always online should always be fought against, it will never be ready.

This is what I get for brushing my teeth like a good dog.

Destiny is impossible to not be always online. It's literally how the game works

 

[Spizz]

IN

 

[psynergylover]

loving the memory bit! so many good memories!!

 

[Balmung421]

Can you play through the campaign in co op right away? Or do you have to play it in single player first?

First few missions are solo for story reasons then you can co-op the rest

 

[cpp_is_king]

I think physical proximity to the servers plays a role. There's a reason trading servers are located right next to the stock exchange.

We all clicked instantly, and here we wait.

Physical proximity certainly helps, but that still ties back into "who connected first". People who are closer to the data center, on average, will connect faster, even if they click the button at the "same time". I put "same time" in quotes because everyone who clicked at exactly 9:00 probably only registered with the server within a window of about 500ms, so there's a lot of variance in how fast your packet made it to the server.

 

[ethomaz]

I'm almost in tears with the names.

 

[M.W.]

EULA - WE GETTIN THERE BOYS

I accepted the EULA 15 minutes ago, still waiting...

 

[zsswimmer]

IN!!!

 

[Night Angel]

Bro queued after me by 2 minutes. He's playing. I just saw the EULA.

 

[Hawk269]

Hrm all you guys getting the Eula did you download the beta prior? I haven't seen a Eula screen, loading into beta mission now.

Yup played the beta and still got the EULA screen in D2.

 

[Alebelly]

I'm going to eat a Poptart and drink some Rockstar while I wait everyone.

I just had Red Bull and a slice of lemon pie, Ill be up for awhile

 

[Skatterd]

Bro queued after me by 2 minutes. He's playing. I just saw the EULA.

Starting to actually think I should restart....

 

[Skanderani]

Anyone know how to return a digital game on the xbone, between the 15 min wait, short and apparently lackluster campaign and micro transaction gear I think I’m out

 

[Jblanks]

Man I'm sitting at the character select screen. Can't decide

There's no rush !

The latter.

I think beta players might be first in if they're skipping the EULA.

Thanks for the advice !

 

[Nephtes]

The fucking queue doesn't even work properly!
A friend of mine started the game 5 minutes after I did, I'm still in the queue he's already in the game.
What the fuck Bungle, do you not understand how a line works? D:

 

[ViciousDS]

I'm almost in tears with the names.

I don't have to pick a current character for that video do I? Because I don't want my old appearance locked

 

[Bellamin]

This is a shit attitude. It's okay to want what you paid for.

It certainly is, but some people here act like these sorts of things don't happen when an online game launches. This always happens. Always.
