Load times seem to still suuuuck on the jeff stream. Though I wonder if some of it is server side.

 

[kiguel182]

Instlation done.

Let's do this!

 

[Winter John]

Anyone at home in the UK able to confirm if the digital PS4 versions are unlocked, or do we have to wait until midnight?

Wait until midnight. Mine's is locked and has the timer on it

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Streaming the Xbox One version now

Turned mic off for now as it was echoing, sorry noob to this stream stuff.

What's your GT?

 

[Number45]

Wait until midnight. Mine's is locked and has the timer on it

Oh well. Saves me hurrying home I guess!

Spoiler

:'(

 

[Kajiba]

Yoooo

That level 25 female warlock in jeff twitch stream look sick. hnnnng

 

[Marvel]

Tuesday it is.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Theoretically if I picked up the digital version from the NZ PS Store right now, would I be able to launch it with my US account?

 

[Yu Narukami]

Watching this stream where guy is eating instead of playing, lol.

 

[TheContact]

Yoooo

That level 25 female warlock in jeff twitch stream look sick. hnnnng

Servers have been up for an hour and a half and someone is level 25 already?

Yes.

 

[Cuphead]

Maybe a Bungie employee

 

[forza_aldi]

That seems super unfair for the game and it's designers. It was designed to play as a huge populated world, not some closed in shopping mall consisting only of reviewers.

It's most definitely not a "huge, populated world". At least not in an open world, mmo sense. Only in the hubs will you ever see a bunch of people.

 

[Hasney]

Just the 268MB patch, at least for digital owners.

Ah cool. Giant Bomb seemed to have 5.5gb and I thought they were on PS4. Although it wouldn't matter anyway if you pre-loaded as it would grab that 5.5gb as part of the process.

So I take it the PS4 digital versions unlock dependant on where you bought it from and not your account region? Not that it matters to me to much, as I'd much rather save £20 rather than get a day headstart.

 

[broony]

It will be an employee.

 

[Tovarisc]

In these other areas where you can play with thousands of other people (if possible), how do they make it so that certain areas are not overcrowded? Or are there tons of different servers to play on?

If my memory serves me right any zone can have up to 16 players, as maximum, in it at any given time. You never have that many players running around you when out in the world, but enough to add life into the world and bring that co-op MMO-ish stuff into it.

 

[Frillen]

So are there any story related trophies?

 

[Tawpgun]

Jesus the load screens seem to take forever

 

[weremichael]

Maybe a Bungie employee

Definitely a Bungie Employee.

 

[Kworn]

Titans have swords?

Spoiler

read the up link, too bad its not permanent...

Yeh I just read that. Mother of all fucks...

 

[dex3108]

GT Stream is up

http://www.twitch.tv/gametrailers

 

[Conrad Link]

What's your GT?

Cloudx NZ is my brother's tag, he is the one playing.

He came to my house to play cause he got the digital version so we could play straight away. I'm a physical peon waiting till morning for mine lol.

 

[MJLord]

Yeah, retailers are (obviously) a huge wall against that sort of thing, but on the plus side, something like games with gold gives you pretty great discounts, so it evens out a little sometimes for a very small number of games. ;}

True PSN and GWG are good value but I'm trying to say that they could enhance their storefronts to make them more appealing without even lowering the price. Just having a trade in and loyalty scheme would go a long way with people I think.

 

[Yu Narukami]

Jesus the load screens seem to take forever

Yeah noticed that too. There seems to be no improvement since beta.

 

[Cuphead]

Definitely a Bungie Employee.

The purple and gold guy looks dope

 

[Bikola]

some guy in my friendslist is playing the digital guardian edition right now (PS4)....HOW?

same here. Im so fucking hyped i cant contain myself!!!

 

[TheContact]

Definitely a Bungie Employee.

Well make that plural because there's another 25 and a 23 near him lol

 

[Z3M0G]

Why is Gerstmann level 23??

Edit: Oh, he analyzed someone who was 23. Must have been a Bungie?

 

[Byron Bluth]

Yes.

But it needs to be purchased through the NZ store and played with the NZ account.

 

[Cuphead]

I'm pretty sure I'll be playing this 48 hours straight.

 

[Tovarisc]

Why is Gerstmann level 23??

He is not, he is level 2. He was inspecting gear of Bungie employee who is level 23.

Edit: That came out maybe tad too aggressively, sorry. Didn't mean to

 

[A_Gorilla]

My card was just charged for the Ghost edition but I still don't have an estimated delivery date :-(

 

[TheContact]

Why is Gerstmann level 23??

He's not, he's like 2 or something

 

[MJLord]

Wait until midnight. Mine's is locked and has the timer on it

Same here, must be different timezones or at best they're staggering it.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Alright, thanks!

In these other areas where you can play with thousands of other people (if possible), how do they make it so that certain areas are not overcrowded? Or are there tons of different servers to play on?

The game has a cap on the number of players that can be in a zone at any given time, which I'm pretty sure is 6, and it phases them in and out dynamically, so you don't need to pick servers. The game does behind-the-scenes matchmaking and phases in players that, I think, are appropriately leveled for you to play with.

Edit: 6 Players while out and about, but the cap is a bit higher on the Tower (the hub zone).

 

[LycanXIII]

Finally.

 

[DJ Lushious]

I hope the loading times to fly from the map screen to the planets are faster in the final version, it took forever to load on the beta

You and me both. I have a 7200rpm WD Scorpio Black in my PS4, which didn't seem to make the loading go by any quicker.

 

[Bikola]

The kiwis get to play, and im just sitting here waiting for the game to unlock.

 

[Cuphead]

Anyone else on PSN that wants to add me! - Freakk5v3

Finally.

Congrats!

 

[Chamber]

Ah cool. Giant Bomb seemed to have 5.5gb and I thought they were on PS4.

They are on PS4. Dammit, someone needs to clarify this already.

 

[Z3M0G]

He is not, he is level 2. He was inspecting gear of Bungie employee who is level 23.

Edit: That came out maybe tad too aggressively, sorry. Didn't mean to

No worries, my initial question was aggressive too. This makes much more sense, thanks.

 

[TheContact]

Finally.

I watched an unboxing and that thing is totally badass. I would just have no place to show it off

 

[ChosenPredator]

gonna stay away from streams like the plague need to fully experience this game without any sense of "ive seen that already" type of vibe

 

[Crazy_maniac]

If my memory serves me right any zone can have up to 16 players, as maximum, in it at any given time. You never have that many players running around you when out in the world, but enough to add life into the world and bring that co-op MMO-ish stuff into it.

Cool, thanks for the reply. Seems like a reasonable thing to do.

Edit: Also thanks to Perfect Cha0s for more explanation!

 

[tmespe]

But it needs to be purchased through the NZ store and played with the NZ account.

You sure about the second part? I purchased from the US store and my game unlocks at US time. And I've always been able to play games purchased from the US store on my EU account.

Wait, what?

I don't think so. This has never been the case before.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Wait, what?

 

[Deku Tree]

Did PSN just start choking... Or is it just Twitch?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Oh lol. Tell him KidInsomnia friended him so he could watch his twitch stream. (But it didn't work)

 

[Lucifon]

My Tesco LE order still not showing as despatched

 

[Blue Ninja]

waiting for my AMAZON Germany pre-order to start shipping to.
i can feel with you bro! ...

So yours say "Versand in Kürze", too?

I suppose you guys are in Germany? I'm in Belgium, my .de order still says "Vorbestellt".
