I'm sat here in the office and started thinking how I'm going to approach the beta. What will my plan of action be?

I'll probably go:
  • Story (if it starts as the alpha did)
  • explore mode to level up and collect glimmer
  • tower to spend my glimmer and dance
  • strike a few times to earn some sweet loot
  • crucible to kick some ass (or get my ass kicked)
  • ...then I'll just hop around on whatever mode takes my fancy or whatever my fire team want to tackle.

So in which order is everyone planning on tackling the upcoming beta in?

Since I didn't get into the alpha, I'll probably do this as well. I usually hold off on multiplayer in games until I've gone through at least a little of the campaign, anyway.

Yeah if you want to apply to DestinyGAF, a kind mod (without even being asked to) today changed the old PS4 GAF group invite page to DestinyGAF invite requests. Please post there if you want quick and efficient access to DestinyGAF so admins can accept you easily and this thread is clean for discussion.

Story mode for leveling up. Maybe go to the max and buy some awesome weapons. Then going for Crucible - prepared as hell! I got spare time so I'll go for my level cap in no time. After that's it depends on my fire team. Some like exploring some like crucible.

But dancing in the tower is certainly going to happen!
! Just like this !

Well damn. Still showing that i have no redeemed codes. Hopefully Its just a glitch and gets corrected soon.
If you've had them before, they'll more than likely come back. Log out of Bungie.net, delete Cookies/cache, restart your computer, and have another look.

Agreed. I think a lot of people made the mistake of jumping straight into PVP during the alpha without leveling up or collecting a wider variety of weapons and armor.

You may learn the maps quicker but are soon overpowered by guys with sweet upgraded shotguns etc...
 
Bit of a downer that EU players cannot redeem until the 17th. Won't be pretty with everyone logging onto Bungie.net that day.

Still, I can't complain, I'm so excited for the beta. The Alpha withdrawal was real, hook me back up and put Destiny into my veins!
 
Quick question, hopefully someone can help me. I live in germany but I use an US Account as my main Account. Do I select the american or european beta?
 
Yup. We already saw this on the Moon PvP map in the alpha. Gravity does indeed play an effect in movement abilities.
Um, I don't believe this is correct. Bungie employees have stated in multiple instances that movement is identical in all locations thanks to the Traveler's space magic (and for consistency of gameplay). Having played the Alpha, I did not notice any variation between locales.
 
Has this been confirmed?

I'm not sure, but whenever you try to redeem for Europe this is displayed:

So, unless they have forgotten to flip a switch somewhere, or they are just filtering people to calm the stress on their servers?

If I have two beta keys I can enter them twice and get PS4 as well as Xbox One beta access, right? I already nominated for Xbox One this morning, but now that I've entered my second code and there's nothing saying Xbox has already been selected I'm unsure this new one will overwrite.

you can use multiple codes to access multiple platforms.

It's the parent group from which all GAF-based Destiny Clans will spawn, e.g. PS4DestinyGAF, XboneDestinyGAF etc. because Clans are capped at 150 members, but then you have Alliances and such.

Oh okay then, thanks :)

Is that group just for PS players?

No, DestinyGAF is a group for all players of all platforms which will support smaller clans within it's group for each platform when the new clan system is implemented. In short join DestinyGAF if you want to join the GAF group if you want to join one of it's clans.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Just a question. Do we know how long will the Beta last? Or at least an estimate?

Oh cool, I was just looking at the application thread and I didn't see anything but PSN IDs.

When you attempt to claim an EU code, it tells you the selection isn't yet available and to come back on the 17th. Whether that's a bug or not, though, let's find out - US west coast is still asleep.

I hope Europeans won't have to wait till the 17th. That would suck.

Nope, still nothing. Well, going to have to send them a message on twitter if it doesn't get sorted out over the weekend. Probably due to the high traffic, but still, getting kinda worried :D
 
you can use multiple codes to access multiple platforms.
On a single Bungie.net account, you can enter up to four of the 9-character codes, each of which will net you three marketplace codes for the platform you select. I will eventually receive twelve download codes in all, three for PlayStation 4, three for PlayStation 3, three for Xbox One, and three for Xbox 360 (yes, I own all those platforms and will play at least some in each beta).

I am not sure if you can elect to generate marketplace codes more than once on the same console, although I didn't notice anything in Bungie.net's UI (in my limited time with it) that would prevent that. I do know that it was stated that the rationale for only allowing you to enter four codes on Bungie.net was because there are four different platforms.

Hey do we know how the Exclusive Emblem Works?
You get it for playing on the 26th after 2PM PST.

But i'm wondering is the emblem tied to your Bungie ID account or the game/system you played on?

last (probably dumb) question,

I already have the BETA in my download queue on my PS4 - Does this mean that I have nothing else to do?

Download will start automatically when the time comes?
