Cookyman Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Not long now. Destiny's servers aren't even online and the day-one update for the multiplayer first-person shooter has already been rolled out onto the PlayStation Network service, weighing in at 296MB and taking the game to version 1.02.
somme Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Anyone order from Shopto? I ordered the limited edition supposed to come today sometime via DPD but the tracking number don't work D: Mine got dispatched today via DPD and my tracking isn't working either. I'm guessing they haven't updated the tracking yet? Or it's broken. lol
dazzybee Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Mine dispatched. Though I'm going away for a week tomorrow so won't get to play it anyway!
Ganepark32 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Trying to decided whether to head to one of the midnight launches for this happening in town or whether I should wait and just pick it up tomorrow. Probably just end up waiting but tempted to go and get a few hours in on it before work tomorrow. I do have a question for those that played the beta: I don't yet have a headset for my PS4 and probably won't be able to pick one up till next month so how vital, if at all, is having one for playing? Like I know it would be a necessity for raids and stuff but for the Strike missions and what not could I get by without? I do have the hands-free headset for my phone if it was necessary so would that work with the PS4? Really excited to actually sit down and play it. Would've loved to have played the beta so I'm not completely blind going in but guess it just means I've not had much spoiled. Just to decided on what class to go. Hmmm... thinking at this rate I may well just take tomorrow off and spend the day playing this.
Jimbob Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 So if I want to join the N-Europe clan for Destiny, I need to install the game, play it, sign up to an external website and THEN I can join? Am I missing something... you can't just join via the game? Or is it one of those stat-tracking websites which works as a companion to the game which you have to rely on for certain aspects of it? You can use the Companion app, which is available on Android and i believe iPhones. You can sign up through there using your PSN or Xbox Live credentials, then link to the group through there. If only if it was as easy as doing it via the game, maybe there is a choice once the game is out. Who knows.
UziT Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Mine got dispatched today via DPD and my tracking isn't working either. I'm guessing they haven't updated the tracking yet? Or it's broken. lol I just called them because I am sad like that, they said the tracking number won't go live until 7pm tonight as its due for delivery tomorrow...When I am back to work D:
somme Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I just called them because I am sad like that, they said the tracking number won't go live until 7pm tonight as its due for delivery tomorrow...When I am back to work D: Ah I see. I'm sure they normally track earlier though, even if it's just to say they've got the package in their depot. Cheers for finding out though.
Map Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I do have a question for those that played the beta: I don't yet have a headset for my PS4 and probably won't be able to pick one up till next month so how vital, if at all, is having one for playing?

I do have the hands-free headset for my phone if it was necessary so would that work with the PS4? The headset you get free with the PS4 will probably get you by for a little while, I used it during the Beta and it worked fine. When you upgrade I recommend the Playstation wireless headset, a few of us on here have them now and they're excellent.
Daft Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 You can use an 3.5mm headphones/mic. You can even use iPhone headphones, if you like. The package has tracking on it so I assume it will need signed for? Weird. I'm on Prime as well and mine got shipped on Saturday. I think it's couriered but you don't need to sign for it.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Another case of a new IP not selling... Destiny has become GAME's most pre-ordered new IP in its history, the retailer has announced. "We look forward to welcoming a huge population of fans into our stores at midnight. September 9th 2014 will be a pivotal moment for gamers all over the world, and we couldn't be more excited to be part of delivering what is a ground-breaking gaming experience," said GAME I downloaded the Destiny app today and signed in using my PSN account. I had a play about with it and it says that the account has yet to play Destiny. I played the beta though. Does this not count?
Sheikah Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Another case of a new IP not selling... lol, never gets old. I downloaded the Destiny app today and signed in using my PSN account. I had a play about with it and it says that the account has yet to play Destiny. I played the beta though. Does this not count? Yeah, apparently the characters being deleted means it no longer counts, I think.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah, apparently the characters being deleted means it no longer counts, I think. I checked my PSN friends list on the app and I assume those who have played the beta are the ones with the Destiny logo next to their name?
Shorty Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Any Tesco users got a dispatch notification yet? I'm getting a bit antsy here :p
Sheikah Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Any Tesco users got a dispatch notification yet? I'm getting a bit antsy here :p No, but I just used their web chat and they said it would be shipped later today and arrive tomorrow.
Shorty Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 You are the hero I need but, due to varying degrees of laziness, do not deserve.
Daft Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Amazon still haven't dispatched mine. ...I hope it comes tomorrow. :|
drahkon Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Amazon still haven't dispatched mine. ...I hope it comes tomorrow. :| Same here...they are still "preparing the shipment". Estimated delivery date: tomorrow. Getting a little worried here...
Daft Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Well, that makes the both of us at least. I'm sure it will be fine, tbh.
gaggle64 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Jeff & Brad are both livestreaming Destiny on giantbomb. I'm getting the impression they're both pretty cool on it so far. It's got a lot of buzz (and budget) to justify.
Jimbob Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I think it's couriered but you don't need to sign for it. If it comes via Parcel Force, i'm never getting it. Parcel Force never seem to get the correct town, they get the street right. But they deliver my packages 2 miles away. Worst occurance, they delivered a parcel to a street in Newport, which is 8-10 miles away
Daft Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I think they use their own Amazon Logistics. But I'm not 100% on that.
somme Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Anyone know how many characters we're allowed?
drahkon Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Anyone know how many characters we're allowed? Three character slots, if I remember correctly.
somme Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Three character slots, if I remember correctly. Ah so one for each class then. That's what I thought. Cheers.
Map Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Destiny is getting a custom audio mode for the wireless headset.
