How do you preload the Beta? Bungie hasn't given out the codes yet on their site, so I am confused as to how you get it. Is it like because you've stated that your platform is PS4 that you get in in your download history or something?

Preorder it on the PS4 in Europe and you can apparently download it. Risk free too as the preorder can be canceled and there is no charge.
 
I just want to say this now:

If you're in my Fireteam and we end up where the Ogre, the Knights, and any ??? level enemies are at, I'm using you as a distraction while I make a run for the exit. :)

I'm kidding. I won't do that to any fellow Gaffers. But i will to my friend.
 
Please. Us Titans have to do all the heavy work around here. All you Hunters and Warlocks will be begging to shield you from the cannon fire of Dread Walkers.

Watch. There's going to be a Strike mission where you'll have to face two maybe three Dread Walkers at the same time. You're gonna beg us to help you out.

Yeah, and? That's still doesn't address the fact that the Alpha was only available to the public on the PS4. Think of Xbox One users who still haven't had a chance to play on Old Russia and will be getting to spend half the number of days with the Beta as PS4 users.

And it's simply a pointless to say "oh but hey they didn't have to do that". No of course they didn't have to, so what? I'm still gonna be dissapointed if the much anticipated and hyped beta, will basically just be the alpha with a few extra bells and whistles. Mainly because I think that information regarding this game is still abysmally poor. The alpha gave a nice idea of what Destiny will be like, but we don't know reprenentative it is of the final game. To know that, we'd need to have Bungie answer questions. However, with less than 2 months to go before release, Bungie seems dealthy afraid to give any concrete information or answer questions about the game.

Can we expect more than one zone per planet? Probably, but Bungie sure as hell don't seem to want to give an answer.

What are the multiplayer modes? Bungie sure as hell don't seem to want to answer.

What are the subclasses, and how many per class? Bungie sure as hell don't seem to wan to answer.

etc etc.
 
If Bungie can create borderline hysteria over their game by letting people play it for a bit why would they care to talk any more about the things we dont know about before the game comes out? Looking at the level of pre orders, word of mouth ect, they have shown enough IMO.

And I ain't even black.
 
Did any one manage to kill or at least take significant damage off the ??? level enemies in the alpha? Is it impossible or would it just take a ridiculously long time?

I believe there were a few gaffers in the alpha that said they were able to do some damage. I don't think anyone manage to kill one.
 
So whenever I attempt to preload the beta on ps4 through the EU account, it starts downloading the 14GB and then changes to a few MB and supposedly finishes. Anyone else having issues with this?

You're reasoning just shows how impatient you are. Bungie has always been secretive about their projects, and this is no different. They've given plenty of information to base an opinion of the game, and the Beta will further expand upon it. This is one of their biggest and most ambitious projects to date, so excuse them for wanting people to experience the game for themselves.

I heard tales of people spending a long time just doing 1 damage to the ??? enemies, dunno if they spent long enough doing it to kill them though.

Yes, by pushing them off the cliff... I am not finished with old Russia, there is something down there in the grotto, I know it and I want to see if Bungie really did change the dialog, Moon Wizards be damned.

They used cheap ways to kill them didn't they?

*sees gif*

Yep. Knew it.
I'm so doing this to the ogre. I need to avenge my Alpha Guardian!

Couple of friends and I legitimately killed all of the ones in the collapsed tunnel area, but a .gif of them dying wouldn't really put into perspective how long it took us.

Difference between previous projects and this one being this one is a new IP, while the last decade before Destiny was about a known franchise that people knew what to expect from. Though I'm sure that if we go back anad looked at how far before lunch they were talking about things like multiplayer modes or forge, then that would be more than 2 months before the games released.

If you are sold on the game and want to go into the game as fresh a possible, good for you, go into black out mode on the game. But accept that not everyone is like that.

I spent 20 minutes alone trying to stay alive and figure out where to go. I can't imagine how long it took you guys to take them down.

My friend ditched me after we got to the grotto. Jerk left me there to die. But I survived. I survived!
second visit that is.

Grotto area isn't that bad if you just keep moving and jumping. There's a cave in the middle where you can hide in and the Hive wont follow you all the way (the wizards can still shoot into it though).

It took us two hours to clear the tunnel area, but it would have gone much faster had we used the Warlock's Vortex grenade sooner. There is a point where their health bar is really low that they're more susceptible to grenade stuns. The Hunter's grenade did this too, but the Vortex moreso because of the sustained DPS. It'll make them cringe and dramatically reduce their health bar, killing them instantly.

Maybe I'll .gif that moment to show what I mean.
