Ah, do you need to do anything or just play?

nothing, just login and play I think.

Just have the beta downloaded most likely.

would imagine loading yourself once into orbit is the trigger, that's where most events activated on Destiny1.

 

[MandrakeUK]

7hrs and 10mins from now.

Lol thanks, totally missed the timers on the OP!

You will always be there automatically basically. Theres no social space for the vast majority of the beta

 

[Ozorov]

Will there be a beta-thread?

 

[ethomaz]

Will there be a beta-thread?

Yes.

 

[Ozorov]

Yes.

Cool cool. Will be home from work in 9 hours. Just played the Destiny (1) beta never the full game but I'm very excited for this.

Well it should all be tied to your account. But it's better safe then sorry.

 

[kraspkibble]

servers go up 6PM here and no doubt will be overloaded for a while so there's no use in me trying to play tonight.

i've cleared my whole day tomorrow and will be playing all day as soon as i get home from work at 9am.

 

[Moon Presence]

Hype. Almost there...

Wouldn't be so sure about the servers. D1 never had a problem with it's betas, launch of Vanilla or TTK. Only Rise of Iron had issues so hopefully it should be smooth sailing.

The beta for the first game was fine. I don't expect issued, especially not for the early access. When everyone can get in, then maybe.

 

[Lima]

strike is strike, like a dungeon in WOW.
Homecoming is story mission, but I’m pretty sure it can be played by up to 3 players.
Cruicible with 2 maps, 4V4 each.
and last hour will be testing the social area: the farm.

The story mission Homecoming is actually 1 player only.

 

[Sarcasm]

Pacific is Seattle, Cali and whatnot right?

 

[forrest]

PS Plus/XBL Gold required for The Strike and Crucible

https://twitter.com/Bungie/status/887106785613561856

Well that sucks. Guess I'll look forward to playing the story mission over and over again.

 

[everyday math]

Pacific is Seattle, Cali and whatnot right?

Yes.

 

[Hedera]

Yeah, I already expected plus/live would be required for the matchmade activities. Oh well, it'll be a short beta for me.

 

[drotahorror]

I created a new PSN account to get a PS+ trial for this. How do I unlink my PSN from bungie after this is over? The unlink button is greyed out.,

Nvm, I guess I see how to do it. It's pretty stupid though. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/229127569?sort=0&page=0

6 hrs, yes for playing with other players

 

[Yoshichan]

So no regular grouping without ps+? I just wanna play with my buddy, no raiding

 

[Sturtiebe]

Anyone have a EU CODE for me Pretty please

 

[Lima]

No. Story mission is 1 player only and everything else requires PS+

 

[JaseC]

No. Story mission is 1 player only and everything else requires PS+

Are you sure? VG247 says otherwise and the few other beta-related articles I've read don't explicitly confirm one way or the other.

Im 100% sure I've read it somewhere. I'll try to find it.

 

[Bollocks]

lol, no patrol, no loot, the 1 story mission is single player, this might be the most spoonfed beta ever

https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/45831

Found it.

Straight from their help article for the beta. I doubt the info is inaccurate.

 

[Noisepurge]

lol, no patrol, no loot, the 1 story mission is single player, this might be the most spoonfed beta ever

they just want to get some hype with this limited time demo, and maybe do some crucible server stress tests while at it

we aren't really entitled to demand something in this free trial?

 

[kraspkibble]

not costing us anything (unless you want early access and actually do preorder it) so i'm not too bothered how much content they have in it.

plus it means more surprises when we actually get to play the game. i felt the beta for the first game had too much. i'd have been happy with just a crucible map, a strike, and a story mission.

Would have been nice if they at least matched the content of the beta for the first game no?

 

[everyday math]

Nah. Last time they opened up two patrol areas and a bunch of missions. Way too much.

We're already getting a peak at a patrol area from ign coming up.

 

[constantstatic]

What I figured it would be similar to the destiny beta. That's lame if true I was excited to play today.

 

[The God]

Anybody got a last minute code?

 

[GlamFM]

Anybody got a last minute code?

Platform/region?

 

[leehom]

Best Buy preorder page for the PS4 Pro Destiny bundles shows the beta as a preorder bonus, but it doesn't tell us how to get the code?

 

[The God]

Platform/region?

NA PS4

That's weird since the Homecoming mission was clearly played in 3p fireteam co-op in the May gameplay reveal.

NA PS4

I have one for EU - would have to find it first though.

Would it work?

EDIT: Nope.

 

[kraspkibble]

nope. different codes for EU and NA.

I'd gladly take a PS4 EU download code, since Amazon UK has failed me on a 2 week old pre-order.

Just put that PS+ account as your main and you should be good. Not sure tho, but there are guides how to online play on your account without PS+

I´ll look for it after my lunch break. Keep an eye on your PMs.

I'll give my code forward when/if Amazon wakes up.
