Be careful about linking your blizzard.net account on bungie.net, there was some sob story on reddit about someone orphaning their existing account (and game history, and apparently beta key).

That was pretty good. My roommate did this and did not get his account pummeled, so I can imagine what kind of special that Reddit dude was.

If this was purchased on PSN should I just expect the download to start eventually? I haven't received a key, but after looking around a bit it looks like it shouldn't be necessary if you bought it off PSN or XBL? Not sure.

Good question.

The older beta was a different sky, so for PSN is like a different game. It probably should show somewhere in one of the many "you can download this poo poo" in PSN admin panels. Gonna check this now...

*Searching*

It shows has a separate product in the shopw
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/search/q=destiny%202%20beta

I have "bought" it and added to my download queue. It says 324 MB.

Edit:
Mr Glum says the truth

Edit:
Downloading. Shows a first download of 677 MB, and a larger one of 12 GB. So is kind of a 13 GB download.

Edit:

Guys, I am downloading the beta!

I just found it by searching in the PSN Store. "Destiny 2" and "Destiny 2 - Beta" should show up as a result, when you hit that page you can download it from there.

According to the TWAB all 6 subclasses that have shown up so far will be available in the beta. Top skill path only, though.

This makes me thing they might be holding back the other 3.

I'd love to see some unedited gameplay but it's pretty clear Bungie wouldn't allow them to show deaths for some reason. They also blur out the bottom of the screen for a little bit at one point, and every time the titan uses his super they zoom the entire video in to cut out the edges instead of just blurring whatever they didn't want you to see. Pretty weird.

What purpose does editing out the deaths serve though?

It makes sure you don't see that all of them are from titan panic slams.

Yeah it definitely looks like the videos are editing to hide things.

Gun names perhsps. Among other things.

Shoulder charge is a 2 hit kill now, you need to land it and a follow up punch.

That Omolon pulse and auto looked like fun. Shotguns are still going to be cancer. I hope power ammo is on a long timer.

Voidwall nades are gay.

And the map looked good. I dont care its reused. A bit big for 4v4 though

What's going on with kill rewards? In this part the kill feed says a teammate made the kill, but the kill reward dialogue pops up on screen for the player. Has it gone all OverWatch, or is there a system that awards the kill to whoever did most of the killing?

He didn't get kill credit, he just got some medals for helping with an assist.

If you consider dumping 40 rounds into a wall "assisting."

At the reveal event I am pretty sure the endgame screen used "defeated" enemies which included both kills and assists. It probably works the same in game. I haven't played overwatch so I am not sure how it works compared to that. Makes sense with them going after casuals, much easier to have a "1.0 K/D+".

The official Destiny word was only one subclass per class was available for the Beta. ArcstriderPoledancer Hunter, Sentinel Titan, and Dawnbringer Warlock.

Wonder if it's gonna be like the original where you get the 2nd subclass at level 15 or if there'll be a ttk type quest or both.

Read the TWAB.

Its the moment weve all been waiting for: The Beta is upon us. No more long lines at events. Finally, anyone who wants to play Destiny 2 will. Youll get to bash enemies with your Sentinels Shield, flip through the air while wielding your Arcstriders staff, or rain fire from above with your Dawnblade.

Youve read first impressions and watched videos, but this will be your first true taste of what it feels like to be a Guardian in a new world. In addition to the new hotness, there will be some familiar (but updated) subclasses for you to play as well. The Beta will include Striker, Gunslinger, and Voidwalker with all of their Grenades, Melees and the top path of their abilities unlocked. The bottom paths will be saved for you to experience in the full game.

I'm crossing my fingers that there'll be a special emblem for being on while the social space is open like there was for the hour the moon was available in the D1 beta and if that does turn out to be the case I will never wear any other emblem ever, just like I did the first time round :grin:

Some of us hope that is replaced with something similar:

- When the Warlock dies, spawn a bunch of rings and gets a immunity phase that last 4 seconds. If he get most of these rings, regain 100% health, if not, start with less. Only active when dies and the super is full. Also when the super is full, moves faster and is blue.
