I care about story detail spoilers, but I'm weird like that for wanting to experience story fresh without knowing events because untagged spoilers.

Will never happen in a game like this. And, let's face it. The story in a game like this is probably going to be stupid if Halo is any indication. That's not gonna affect the fun anyone is gonna have!

Are we expecting destiny to be worth it if you're only gonna play it solo?

I would think it would be boring and pointless. I had fun in the beta playing with random people; don't worry about that. Just playing solo, You'd miss over two thirds of the game, since so much of it REQUIRES other players.

I think so. Even playing solo you're still experiencing the same shared world and will run into other guardians along the way. Whether you choose to team up or not you can always just help each other out then simply part ways.

The strikes put you with 2 other random players anyway, if you're not in a fire team, so unless you plan on avoiding them completely you'll team up with fellow guardians eventually.

I'm just looking forward to meeting some amazing new friends when this launches. I think this game really comes into it's own when you're in a team.

U wot? Wow... Halo's storyline and lore, its universe in general, is far from stupid. But hey, different strokes I guess. The sheer amount of fan fiction and community that sprang up around it speaks volumes to it being better than the vast majority of games out there, let alone shooters.

Mine says the 8th.

Someone in that Reddit thread mentioned also that PSN is giving him 8th for pre-load date. Interesting.

Is Sony trying to do some dodgy pre-load staggering where final "wave" starts as game releases?

 

[Frillen]

Which retailer?

Elkjop, Norway.

 

[names2hard4you]

It is Friday. Which means only one more weekend without Destiny to go. By next week, we will all already own the game, some will probably already be at level 20...

I played Alpha / Beta mostly Solo. Only didn't solo during Strikes of course.

Had a blast. Barely touched multiplayer until the Iron Banner stuff and then only did it for the cape / towel

Ok thanks for the input everyone =)

Just checked via computer and it shows it sitting in my download cue and the date shows the 9th. Not sure if it showed the 7th before or not.

 

[pokeystaples]

Me and my girl both got LE cant wait.

I have a Date with Destiny.


This is the funniest thing i have seen in awhile. I actually like the rap verse of this.

This kinda made my morning. Thanks!

Damn this thread is moving fast as hell.

Preload will just start whenever Sony decides to pull the switch this Sunday, that's what happened recently with Diablo 3 on PS4. It didn't go up right at midnight two days before launch. I think preloading went up around noon.

Thing is that until today people have been reporting that it's showing 7th in details. Now there is reports that some have 7th, some 8th and some 9th. That is just weird. I do hope it's just some weird glitch in PSN and every digital pre-order gets pre-load starting on 7th.

Retailer Fnac will organize Destiny expos in select French stores: http://www.afjv.com/news/4176_la-fnac-et-activision-organisent-une-exposition-destiny.htm

Was this already posted?

Destiny fragrance by Xbox One

Pretty funny!

 

[Marvel]

That's a good idea

Doing the same. Gonna call my brother during my break to just leave it on for me.

Nice.

I wonder how pre-load on the PS4 will go on Sunday.

[StrongBlackVine]

Agree. The entire game and all the story will be online in about a week if not faster.

So what? I won't be looking on forums I'll be playing the game then.

 

[Cuphead]

Good morning my hyped brothers.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Back to normal now.....

 

[fowlish]

I'm really hoping my amazon pre-order comes in early.

 

[Number45]

So with the servers coming along Monday lunchtime... I'm going to be waiting for Sony to unlock the software aren't I? :'(

Yep...

 

[Definity]

There will be more than 1 Raid, HUGE SPOILERS! Seriously, I'm sorry I click it.

Nice! I clicked it and clicked it again. No regrets. Hurry up Tuesday!

 

[Arment]

Tuesday is going to be a rough day at work :/

I don't call out unless I feel like I'm dead.

 

[Griddlelol]

any news on when the PS4 preload will be available? I'd like to have it downloading at work.

 

[Kane1345]

9/7 although there are report that it's variable for people now :/

Should be Sunday, 7th.

That said today I have seen some reports that for some date has been changed from 7th to 8th or 9th.

Idk how I'm going to get through my lectures either... At least Wednesday is my off school day. Gonna go off :3

As long as it's spread out by time zone or something on that one day it shouldn't be a problem.
Should be less strain on the servers if anything

This is my female human hunter - La Roux

And I'm not treating her like my toy!

 

[Willeth]

My preload page says the 8th. I think the countdown is to the unlock, though.

Quick tip - go into the add-on page for it and tag the Vanguard Armory to auto-download too. One thing I've noticed is that my preorder for the Digital Guardian edition didn't include the Expansion Pass as an add-on. Should it have?

 

[names2hard4you]

The resemblance is crazy good LOL!

I also have the main game and Vanguard armory in my queue but no signs of the expansion content yet.

"Expected Auto-Download Date: 08/09/2014" means, to my understanding, that game starts downloading automatically on that day and countdown seems to be counting to that moment.

Auto-Download == Pre-Load, in this case

See, my understanding is that the countdown is to release, and the preload happens before that. I whacked the countdown into Wolfram Alpha and got midnight on the 9th.

Kind of at odds with Bungie saying you'd be able to play once it was midnight anywhere, but meh, it works out as 8am on the 9th in the UK and I have work that day, so it's not like I'd be able to play at midnight the night before or immediately as it unlocks or anything, so it doesn't make too much difference to me.

I also have the main game and Vanguard armory in my queue but no signs of the expansion content yet.

Excellent, cheers. Hopefully that means it's working as intended and not that we've both made the same mistake

My god, the amount of salt in the Destiny Fragrance thread is ridiculous.

Where are you located?

 

[DJ Lushious]

So, I've committed to going Titan for the full game. I played the Warlock in the Alpha, Hunter in the Beta, and though I really liked the Hunter, I think the Titan is truly more my type of character (tank-like). Now that I've labored over that decision, I now have to pick which race I want to be. Why so many choices, Bungie?!
