[vypek]

Dammit. This install keeps freezing on me. It would have been done in under an hour if it weren't for freezing. :-/ More than 2 hours spent downloading so far.

 

[Storm Raider]

go talk to the Crucible master in the tower

Yep, that did the trick.

 

[.la1n]

Wasn't able to play a lot tonight but I'm really enjoying what I've played so far, guns and combat feel really good. Music and production values are top notch too. PS3 version here and the art direction is really nice, elevates it above the technical shortcomings.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

Im not liking the pvp so far, it just makes no sense. They give u double jump and long health so u can move around during combat but force u to use ads by making hipfire useless. They really need to sort this out

 

[phierce]

I have two PS4 beta codes if anyone needs them.

Let me know and I'll PM it to the first two replies.

 

[Portugeezer]

Can't you also level up weapons? How does that work?

WHEN DO I GET MY VEHICLE? I am level 4 now.

 

[Pastry]

I'm level 4, just got a level 10 blue scout rifle with some awesome upgrades damn you level cap

 

[Jest Chillin]

I dont know about anyone else but this is EXACTLY the same as the alpha, even seeing the same damn glitches and errors in the beta ive seen in the alpha.


I was fine with all that until I saw the same error of switching weapons in the inventory makes all my ammo disappears. I can switch my primary and heavy weapon and the ammo would remain, but when i switch my secondary weapon, the ammo turns to zero.

Some others are having their primary ammo disappear when they switch primary weapons but the secondary and heavy weapons ammo is still there when they switch weapons.


Didn't they say the changes in alpha would move over to beta??? So im guessing all the errors from the alpha, they arent working on???

Was this every even confirmed as a bug? Most games like this don't allow weapon switching in combat at all. Destiny allows it but doesn't have ammo carry over. You can also buy ammo packs to refill on the fly.

 

[andregnreis]

My friend preordered the game trough PSN, and so he didnt get any code to redeem. Is it still possible to get additional codes to give friends and make a fireteam? If so, how?

 

[hypernima]

Anyone else have issues with enemies disappearing when you go around a corner then magically reappearing?

 

[licktheenvelope]

Can't you also level up weapons? How does that work?

WHEN DO I GET MY VEHICLE? I am level 4 now.

Yes you can level up weapons by using them.

 

[todd360]

Damn Nvidia, next card must be called Warlock.

That would actually be really cool if they did that. I can see the kotaku article now. BREAKING NEWS! Nvidia makes reference to console game!

 

[BokehKing]

63% after 3 hours of download...wut?

Are you wired? . Believe it or not, I switch to WiFi sometimes and it downloads incredibly fast

 

[UnholySpectacle]

My install has been sitting at 1% for the past 6 minutes. Is this normal?

 

[Zakalwe]

Ugh, if only this were on PC. I'm not great with a game pad, and the only thing that's stopping me loving this is having to use one. I'm sure I'll adapt, but damn, it's like I suddenly lost 10 years of FPS experience...

70 kills in that last mission, only 10 accurate kills. At least I'm hitting things.

Pretty telling about this game though, usually I pick up a console fps and put it down almost straight away for this very reason. Spent two hours in Destiny and it felt like 15 minutes.

This is the one? I think it might be.

Nice meltdown, but what you just described isn't a glitch. It's to prevent people who are, say, sniping at the edge of a map from just switching to their shotgun once people get close.

 

[Jtrizzy]

I was getting 250 kbps over wifi, which was only 10-12 feet from the ps4. Switched to wired, and when the download restarted I was getting 1.5 or so. Down to 3 gigs left now.

Do any of the weapons that you switch have different status boosts to them? Like one is a pulse rifle with fire damage and the other is not or a different kind? If so it's intended that you lose the ammo.

 

[PaulKersey]

Am I crazy or does the beta look better than the alpha did?

 

[Barrow Roll]

After redeeming the code, there should have been a button saying "Download to my PS4". Now that ya missed that, try going to the Destiny Beta store page, and see if it has a button there. (on the left)

Sweet, says it's downloading now. Thanks!

 

[The Librarian]

I dont know about anyone else but this is EXACTLY the same as the alpha, even seeing the same damn glitches and errors in the beta ive seen in the alpha.

As I recall, there was only one story mission in the Alpha, and only two multiplayer maps.

 

[aro52]

Anyone else have issues with enemies disappearing when you go around a corner then magically reappearing?

The enemies do respawn pretty quickly, if that's what you're seeing.

 

[Izayoi]

How did you get your weapons and gear? Did you buy them from a certain NPC or did you get them through rewards?

Rewards and Strike drops... I also got lucky at the Cryptarch with a random purchase for my chest piece.

 

[Jtrizzy]

This is the one? I think it might be.

I have the opposite problem, I am terrible with the kb/m, being so used to a controller. I gave up on playing pc fps unfortunately. It would be nice to see it running at 60 on pc though.

 

[AkelisRain]

Is there no way to look at who is online in the clan in game? Kind of useless if we can't have a clan chat or something...

 

[MrPressStart]

Has anybody yet to receive their email containing codes?

 

[Izayoi]

Am I crazy or does the beta look better than the alpha did?

Much better. The lighting is improved, and it seems that there are more decorators as well.

 

[VanWinkle]

Game is SO FUN!

 

[MXRider]

Is there any good comparisons of the classes? I'm still at work and I'm trying to decide on one.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Aw hell no. After work I thought I was gonna be playing the beta but in 4+ hrs it barely reached 23% aka 2.60GB
Dial up speeds I tell Ya!

 

[MXRider]

Has anybody yet to receive their email containing codes?

Look on your bungie profile.

 

[Kojirospath]

Loving this game sofar! Met my expectations. Being a Titan is hella fun too! I love punching and kicking everything to death! Gunplay feels great as well! Turning in now but will have a ton of time to play tomorrow.

 

[Jabba]

Am I crazy or does the beta look better than the alpha did?

I was thinking this myself. Not sure though. Maybe the lighting is better?

 

[Dragon]

Game is a lot of fun. I'm still bad at PvP but when I kill someone it's ultra satisfying.

 

[Into]

There is something special about this game, it feels like the next big thing.

I know every game these days gets that monicker and falls flat, but Destiny just has a vibe to it, like its above everything else, just the UI impresses you let alone everything else.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Has anybody yet to receive their email containing codes?

I did like 5 hrs ago. They should be in the bungie page though they were there fast

 

[Number45]

Female Exo Titan to 6 and then I've called it a night. Done the first few missions, should hopefully be able to get to 8 and then try some of the other stuff tomorrow and over the weekend.

Loving it, although having to get up close and personal with the super can be pretty tricky on the harder waves!

 

[CornDogg]

I got to level 4 story and christ I'm just too bored out of my mind. I wish this beta had a different area than the alpha

Played the alpha. Didn't enjoy it. Played the beta, did the first strike. Absolutely bored out of my mind.

I played for a few hours, got to level 5, did some PvP. I don't see what is so special about this game. Can any of you explain?

Blasphemy!!

 

[Phenomic]

Has anybody yet to receive their email containing codes?

Oh I am such a failure. I preordered this over a year ago when they first announced the beta or whatever and just now realized my Code wasn't a PSN Code....

Now it's telling me I might have to wait up to 24 hours to verify my account. I was in the Alpha for god sakes why can't that just carry over... hah. Shoulda looked earlier

 

[Vooduu]

I liked what I've played so far.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

Beat the 1st mission, how do I access free roam?

 

[TheOMan]

That's not a bug if I understand correctly. They penalize you for doing a lateral weapon equip by zeroing out your ammo.

 

[Anilusion]

Blasphemy!!

Just tell me what's so great about it. I'd love to enjoy it as much as you guys do.

 

[JackHerer]

Ugh everyone talking about the game. I started the download process over 5 hours ago and I'm only at 48%. So awful.

Maybe I'll restart the console and see if I can get a faster connection?

 

[Chaos]

Can't you also level up weapons? How does that work?

WHEN DO I GET MY VEHICLE? I am level 4 now.

You level them up by using them, some have skills that you unlock, usually tells you in the details page.

Did you do the story missions for vehicle ?

 

[tmac456]

nearly 5 hours of download time and i'm at 43%

ideas? should I reboot my ps4? this is brutal

 

[megalowho]

The intro cinematic for this game is so good. Shades of Civilization and Alpha Centauri.

 

[Number45]

Beat the 1st mission, how do I access free roam?

Pretty sure the explore map opens up as soon as you have the ability to choose your destination from orbit. A word of warning though, even though it says level 4 I was encountering pretty high level mobs in there!

 

[Nyteshade517]

Anyone find the Golden Chests? I know there are 5 and one of them is in the first story mission basically right out in the open...wanting to find the other 4

Beat the 1st mission, how do I access free roam?

Explore opens up after either the second or third story mission

 

[Darryl M R]

God these handcannons are so hard to play with but rewarding when I kill with them in pvp. About to do more pve and strikes so I can find a better one and hit the level cap. Then I'lll make a warlock.
