Can't you just access to your download list from the website and start it from there?

Yes but that's still starting it manually. If you think the download will just automatically start on its own like updates do you're gonna be disappointed.

If anyone is from the US and doesn't want to weather 6 million people downloading at 10am PT all at once, if you make a EU PSN account and preorder from there, you don't get charged and you start downloading the beta immediately. You can then go to Settings > PSN > Account Information > Wallet > Transaction History and you can cancel the preorder from there after the download is completed

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.

Anyone know any gameplay details about the beta?

Like what the lvl/content cap is exactly? I'm assuming (hoping) it's going to be a bit further along than the level 8 of the alpha so we can get a better peek at what the game is really like past the newbie zone type levels and gear.

Also add me to the list of people who want to play this, yet really don't want to play it simultaneously. Partly because a piece of me just wants to experience it as a whole on release day, especially since I already got a taste of it during the Alpha anyway, and also because I kind of want to keep playing Divinity: Original Sin and not get sucked into playing this alone for the next 10 days.

The other part is screaming "Dude, loving Destiny. Play that poo poo, beta or not. What is wrong with you?"

edit: Also, to add, I pre-ordered from PSN and haven't gotten a key yet. Guessing most people are in the same boat? Is there any way to download the client early without the key?

You talking to me? 10 days was just a guess, and it being 8 days doesn't bother me. poo poo I'd be fine with 2 days again. Where did you get the idea that I'm disappointed with anything? I didn't say a single word against the beta. I haven't got a problem with anything. The only reason I mentioned wishing I could resist playing it is because I'm having a blast playing Divinity at the moment. :confused:

Cancelled my Amazon preorder and decided to buy the digital edition. Figure I might as well since I missed out on the physical collectors editions. If I get an extra beta code, and it seems like I might, I'll definitely post it in this thread. Doesn't look like I can start downloading the beta yet, at least through the web store, but I'll keep my eyes peeled. Hopefully it'll be ready by the time I get home today.

Level 8 will be accomplished in a few hours after release. They'll end up raising it up higher when the servers go down for maintenance.

I'm kinda looking forward to seeing what the PS3 version looks and plays like. Some engines handle PS3 far better than 360 like Source. Any peeps here with HDMI capturing equipment and HDCP circumvention stuff ready for it?

It's probably a safe assumption that Bungie are better at optimising for 360 than PS3.

As MrLonghair alluded to, it shouldn't be nearly as fast as the alpha. There's been a few posts on the Destiny reddit that have said experience seems to be awarded slower, plus you start of at level 1 whereas in the alpha it was 2 or 3.

Also, glimmer accumulating slower & spinmetal being rarer are kinda' neat changes too.

Sorry if this should be obvious, but since I pre-ordered from the PS store I just have to wait until the Destiny beta shows up on my download list? Or do I have to dig around for it in the store (I haven't been able to find it if this is the case).

Could be true. On the SA Goon clanpage, it's listed as 80 Clanmates and 226 Members right now. When I tried to click the "Set as Playstation Clan" it comes up with "We've encountered an error, please try again (3)"

Oh you mean the copy pasted content from 2012 leaks and outdated 2013 presentations and articles written up by other sites like the previous one which long had people crying for a new thread with beta information and the majority being okay with a barebones OP as long as it had the most important information in it?

Yeah, that's the one. Nobody else lifted a finger on making a new thread, I even improvised what you see in it after a shift-delete accident, the game is changing and Bungie are secretive so the OP is in progress together with the game and grows as we figure things out.

e: There, I added a link to the old thread OP.


I want to add a clever Halo + Borderlands (+ ThirdGame) screenshot-combo in the OP to make it more understandable what the game is though, maybe even in bandwidth-friendly gif format. Taking suggestions and contributions.

And I decided to not go with the FROM THE MOON meme when making the thread title. Three people gave suggestions though.

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.
