Should we start using a Destiny-spreadsheet to find other goons instead of using the PSN one? Or will the Bnet group help organize things ingame?

BNet group will hopefully help. I can't imagine them not having a way for you to get the status of your clan mates in game at some point, but maybe it won't be in the beta.

You can now set SA Goons as your PlayStation or XBox clan.

Also we are now an alliance.

Couldn't register my profile from the OP link, my name is mongochron and I requested the clan page. Also, thanks for being on top of all the Destiny news MrLongHair so that we don't have to trawl neogaf/official forums ourselves.

Not sure what your issue actually was that you can't authenticate, but you should be posting about it in the PGS thread instead of here.

Has anyone heard about the 75 people clan limit cap?

Apparently Neogaf is splitting their own clan in a federation of regional sub-clans because of it.

Well, no big deal if it is a limit. Has that been confirmed yet? We can just create clans and add them to the SA Goons alliance. Whoever volunteers to run the individual clan groups should just use SA Goons group membership to determine if an applicant is a goon or not.

So, do we want to do regional sub-clans, or just random sub-clans that we add as needed? I don't see why we couldn't have both, so feel free to create groups as desired and apply for membership to the SA Goons alliance.

I think regional is a better option as long as it's not too difficult logistically.

I'm going to leave it up to you guys to create the groups you want. The main SA Goons clan will be general/global.

We don't even know if the ~70 clan members is a cap or a bug - maybe we should chill out a little bit on this until we hear for sure? Otherwise we could have a bunch of fractured groups when we don't necessarily need to.

It's no big deal. If the 75 member cap gets lifted everyone just has to click the clan button on the main group to switch back. All of the sub-groups should have membership in the main SA Goons group as a prerequisite, or they will not be allowed in the alliance.

Ahh yeah, just found it, there's nothing there yet. It sucks that they didn't release the codes so we could pre-install the game. Those download servers are going to get slammed in two hours...

Also, is anyone making a clan for Central time? (I only saw the Eastern one)

Central is probably close enough to EST that we don't need 2 for now.

:siren:Once you start the download (even remotely), you do not need to start the Destiny Beta in order for it to download the whole thing. It will download fully no matter what.:siren:

As was said earlier, if you go to the Destiny Beta item on the main PS4 menu, press options, and then pick information, you can see the download status.

Does the netcode for PVP seem bad, or is it just me? I get something like three to five kill trades a game.

It's just Bungie netcode. When that happens it just means you and your opponent killed each other at about the same time. It's a tradeoff, but it's the fairest way to do it.

MrLonghair, can you please remove the listing of clans from the OP so that people have to go read the PGS thread OP to learn how to join us? I think your list might be leading to confusion, and I'm probably the best person to keep the list up to date anyway since I'm the one approving alliances and such.

FYI here's the leaked contract that came out around when the Bungie-Activision deal was announced: http://documents.latimes.com/bungie-activision-contract/

I don't know. Agreements change between friendly parties, even if a contract was signed. Bungie could have locked down a really good development/monetization pattern since then and Activision might have liked it. The contract might have been amended or scrapped a dozen times.

This is true, just thought I'd link it so people can see what they at least were planning to do.
