That's when it comes out.

Reaaly? Sorry ...

Thanks

 

[GhaleonEB]

It might slow down with guided games and the discord. A huge part of the rush of Destiny OTs is the LFG posts

We'll see, but I think it will go just as fast.

Though on that note I have no idea what discord is.

 

[gbpackers25]

I'm so hyped for this, I've been listening to the soundtrack for the last few minutes. Destiny has incredible music

 

[panama chief]

Oh.

You don't mean you have silver saved up from D1...do you?

If so, it's not going to appear in D2.

No no. PSN and Xbox live credit.

 

[Tragicomedy]

I've got a trip week after next and I'm honestly thinking of packing my PS4. Never done something like that. I'm guessing hotel internet will render it unplayable anyway.

 

[Reckless Onion]

Is it known how they are going to make my next legendary drop of the same gun interesting?

I remember luke mentioning that it was something they are looking at a while back.

 

[speiky]

And yet Devrim Kay has a freaking beard!

Guess facial hair growth just isn't possible with the Light of the Traveler. :/

what about carpet!?

 

[TheTylerDurden]

No no. PSN and Xbox live credit.

Oh good. That would be heartbreaking.

Remote play on PSTV works great if the hotel has decent internet. Just make sure you're hardwired in on both ends, at home and in the hotel room.

I've only just learned today. Keeping up with the cool kids is hard.

 

[Conkerkid11]

PSN's having a stroke and keeps charging me $0 for the game and failing to go through the whole transaction with this error:

I think this may be a sign that I just need to be patient and wait for the PC version.

 

[Booki]

Hope the servers don't fizzle out like in D1.

 

[RoboPlato]

Hope the servers don't fizzle out like in D1.

Rise of Iron is the only Destiny release I remember having substantial issues.

 

[Hawkian]

Hope the servers don't fizzle out like in D1.

People has some short memories :/

The Destiny unlock night was among the smoothest major release launches in gaming history, without any hyperbole.

 

[JohnOfMars]

Hope the servers don't fizzle out like in D1.

Destiny 1 & all expansions except for last year were rock solid. And they moved the launch date back to mid-week to give themselves less server load. Fingers crossed.

Edit: also, rolling midnight launch vs the previous global ones will help too.

I get that sometimes but it always works if I buy from the console.

 

[Huntersknoll]

I'm on and off on which platform I should play on PS4 or PC

Wherever your friends play is the most obvious choice.

 

[Degenerate]

Bought a new headset for this since my Sony Gold's mic doesn't work anymore. Can't wait for Wednesday.....

Yup, Destiny is perhaps the only online game I can recall playing where there were no issues on launch day.

 

[DNAbro]

Still looking back at my favorite Destiny memories and finally found my reactions to losing to Oryx and then finally beating him two days later.

fuck oryx. fuck oryx and his stupid ass head. I'm just gonna wait a few weeks until people have better weapons and make this easier. His stupid DPS check bullshit is incredibly dumb.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=179656670&postcount=13627

ORYX IS FUCKING DEAD THE STUPID SON OF A BITCH

I can't fucking wait for the new raid

 

[Shrennin]

I joined the Discord channel. I hope to be active with Destiny GAF! I am getting excited!

Shod be fine if the hotel has an ethernet port available for use!

Is that email legit? :lol

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Thats for the normal/standard edition. I think that will become available on the 20th without the pre-order bonuses.

Oh, right, the unbundled copy of the game.

I think that has to do with the exchange rate

Converting from your filthy imperial date system to metric...

 

[GhaleonEB]

Hope the servers don't fizzle out like in D1.

That didn't happen.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Is there any kind of region locking on the console version of the game?

 

[Foxxsoxx]

That didn't happen.

It did in Rise of Iron.

 

[Hawkian]

It did in Rise of Iron.

that's true, and if that's what booki meant then he or she could have mentioned it, but the D1 game launch servers were solid.

 

[gatti-man]

38 pages and the game isn't even out yet. Holy moly.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

It did in Rise of Iron.

But it didn't for Destiny 1 or any of the other expansion, so here's to hoping that was just a fluke!

 

[Defect]

Gamestop hasn't shipped my copy yet :/

That DPS check was frustrating as fuck

Reposting stuffs about Discord.

The link in the OP needs to be refreshed after every so many uses- if you try it and it doesn't work, it will be updated soon, or you can PM me for an invite (no guarantees on how long it takes me XD)

Cheers Hawk.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Haha that'll be my facr in about 27 hours!

Thanks for the feedback. Leaning toward trying it.

 

[Forearm Star]

Has anyone gotten codes from Kellogg's?

I'm getting mad at all these pop tarts 😠

 

[Raven117]

Just get ready! Indeed here we go again

 

[Strakt]

Get it on ps4 then sell when PC comes out if PC is your preferred platform.

Some have but they are mad slackin cause it's labor day XD

 

[darkwing]

when do the reviews drop?

 

[GhaleonEB]

It did in Rise of Iron.

He, and I, were talking about launch.

I don't recall the RoI issues, though I think I was a day late in getting on it.

when do the reviews drop?

IIRC reviewers are going to be playing along with us. We're gonna get the usual rush of "please click me" quickie "reviews", with major outlets doing either delayed ones or steady impressions leading up to the reviews.

 

[Foxxsoxx]

38 pages and the game isn't even out yet. Holy moly.

Never forget the MGS4 OT.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

Hope the servers don't fizzle out like in D1.

The staggered release and the much bigger digital purchase volumes should help with this I hope...I'm in NZ so we get to see if the servers start buggering out over time from the start.

Just over 11 hours to go here, day off today and tomorrow and I'm getting chinese food soon and have a free pass from the GF for the week to indulge: life is good fam.

hrm. I thought the servers were open last week so that reviewers could play it early? Maybe I misheard.

 

[Hawkian]

It actually only lasted about 3.5 hours

Here's what IGN says: http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/08/31/destiny-2-review

Naturally, we'll be working hard on our review and will have it finalized as soon as we feel we responsibly can. Our appropriately named Destiny/Destiny 2 expert, Destin Legarie, was pretty much born for this review and is raring to go. Follow him on Twitter at @DestinLegarie.

So far, we've been able to play a chunk of Destiny 2 at Bungie and, of course, in the betas. You can bookmark this page and set your watch for 7AM Pacific time on Tuesday, September 5 to come back see what Destin thinks so far, based on those experiences. But of course, that's just scratching the surface of a huge game like Destiny 2, so we'll be running a review in progress until we've had a chance to play at least a few dozen hours of the final launched game and – hopefully, depending on when it ends up making its debut – complete the upcoming raid.

It sounds like the embargo for what they played at Bungie goes up on launch day (they could only talk about the EDZ prior to release), but are otherwise not playing early. I'm assuming it's the same for others.

It actually only lasted about 3.5 hours

That explains it!

 

[cleveridea]

What are people's expectations for download sizes before the game is playable when it unlocks with a preloaded game on PS4 (ie day one patches)? I dont remember how it was with Destiny 1.

Have really slow Internet at current place (will change in the future but really slow right now) so hopefully no more than a few GB

 

[murdochmystery]

Praying my copy from Amazon gets here Wednesday. Says it's shipping today (but it's a holiday) and is expected Wednesday. Fingers crossed.
