Sorry, guy.
Neat, I already have a Warlock Helmet (at level 4) that looks more different (not a ton though) than anything I ever saw in Alpha/Beta.

[edit] Wow some cool yellow legs too! Like pants & boots!

To get the stuff you redeemed codes for, you need to go to you Bungie.net Profile -> Codes and "activate" each and every bloody one of them.

It's a total hassle, but there you go.

Don't remember the code - I'm on Comcast on the US East Coast (North Carolina). I was able to get right back in and it looks stable now.

edit: FYI, your game owns.

Also, don't forget that bounties are a major source of exp in the early game now (at least it seems like they're a bigger deal than in the beta). Once you hit 4 or so there's a bunch of intro bounties in the tower that bring you into explore mode and are worth a ton of rep and experience. Kinda feels like that's what you're "supposed" to do after the level 4 mission.

Amazon quit teasin me! :( been anticipating a confirmation email that my PS4 bundle has shipped and never got one.



You are now connected to Ritesh from Amazon.com
Me:Just wondering if the item has shipped yet and if the guaranteed delivery date of Tuesday the 9th is still on track, and if possible receive tracking information?
Ritesh:Hello, my name is Ritesh. I'll certainly try to help regarding your concern.
Me:Thank you!
For very irrational reasons i'm hoping to have the package by today. looks like my credit card has been charged but I have not yet received confirmation that the item has shipped.
Ritesh:The item has entered the shipping process and it will be going to ship within few hours and you will get the package by today only.
Me:Excellent!
Will there be a tracking # available ?
Ritesh:Yes you will get the tracking id within few hours with the confirmation email.

Anyone know how to get the Digital Guardian Edition stuff on PS3? The only addon in the store is the Expansion Pass, which shows up as $35 if I add it to my cart. All of the other advice seems to be PS4 specific.

Just got done with close to 5 straight hours of solo story, with a bit of explore (what is its new name now?) mixed in. Had a couple disconnects with error code lion (upstate NY, Time Warner ISP) around 12:30 EDT, but other than that, smooth sailing.

Definitely seems like the difficulty was bumped a bit, which was good. Auto-rifles are still laser death cannons, but pulse rifles are actually decent now! I did not try hand cannons yet.

Did the first bit on the moon, and it's pretty. Now to get my kid ready for school, take a nap, then play all day! :woop:


Hats off to you Bungie folks who read this thread. Game shipped on time, is awesome, and the servers handled things almost flawlessly. Quite impressive.

Beetle is automatically reported/logged, and is a specific timeout, which is either server-side or client-side (and we'll figure out which from the logs). C-word is probably Centipede or Cattle. Both are logged too. Thanks!

I can't seem to get the Digital Guardian content.

I'm playing the main game okay. If I go to my Bungie profile -> Codes, it doesn't show anything to redeem / activate.

On the PS4, it shows 'Cannot download' for items such as Vanguard Armory, Digital Content pack etc.

Help?!

Go to Settings -> PSN -> Restore Licences. That should allow you to download it or if it's already installed for it to show up in game.

The weapon upgrade system is genius, and it looks like low level weapons have more special properties than beta. I found a level 4 scout rifle that had an unlock that increases stability when it does damage, for example.

Also, the first set of intro pve bounties took me all the way from 4 to halfway through 6.

I'm a Euro goon who created a character when I got up this morning, just so I could manage the Bungie.net stuff, and yep, it's been slow as hell.

A lot can be done from the app, which tends to run smoother, though.

To be honest it was 4AM when I started making the gif and even I don't know what it's supposed to be about by the time I finished it an hour and a few GIS searches later :effort:


I apologize if this has already been posted but for anyone else who purchased a digital copy of Destiny on the PS3 so they can also have access to the game on the PS4, Bungie updated their FAQ to say that it won't be available until at least "Wednesday 9/10 at 6pm PDT".

It's a ton of fun to play. Right now, my only real grip with it is that the narrative is fairly disjointed - but the gameplay is 100% sound and they nail all the fundamentals. It's a great game to play.

I foresee this little game being a crown jewel in the PS4s cap for a long long time.

As long as bungie keeps inventing interesting new enemies, guns, and galaxies full of DLC, people will keep buying. I can see this turning into WoW for PS4 gamers.

Do you not get crucible marks if you're not max level or something? I just won a game of control at level 7 and got squat.
