6 weeks of beta??. Then about 10 days to launch? Doesn't seem right and the beta is too long, should be an appetiser, say 10 days

 

Its a beta for 6 days on playstation Dave.

 

July 18th-23rd

What you should expect:

Homecoming: The opening mission and cinematics from Destiny 2’s Campaign.

Countdown: Enter the Crucible to battle other Guardians in a brand new mode. Attack or Defend the base on a new map custom-built to support this new game type.

Control: The original standard for Crucible combat is back, with some impactful changes. Control the zones on another new map built with this objective in mind.

The Inverted Spire: Strike at the heart of a Vex stronghold. Bring two willing allies, or let Matchmaking introduce you to a Fireteam of Guardians.

New Subclasses: The new fighting style for each Class will be at the ready. Choose from the Dawnblade Warlock, Arcstrider Hunter, or Sentinel Titan.

The Farm: For one hour, on Sunday, July 23, we’re inviting you to tour the new social space in Destiny 2. Starting at 10AM Pacific, you’re welcome to kick the ball into the net or befriend a chicken. Most vendors and services will be offline. Our goals are to see how many of you it can accommodate at once.

What you should not expect:

Clan Support: It’s true that Clans will be supported in Destiny 2, but those features are not a part of this test.

Character Progression: You’ll receive rewards for defeating your enemies – be they Cabal, Vex, or other Guardians – but the Beta does not represent how your characters will evolve in Destiny 2.

Character Continuity: Destiny 2 is a fresh start. Nothing we do in the Beta will carry over to the final version of the game on September 6. Of course, for every rule, there is an exception…

The only place that time gets mentioned is at @Diddums house.

 

To everyone else it's British Summer Time or commonly known to as GMT+1.

BE AWARE - A patch has just come out on top of the preloaded beta download so make sure you get the update as soon as you can!

 

No details to why its there - I suppose they're fixing things before they even go live!

I might have completely missed this but do I need  to preorder to get a beta code to download this? 

 

 

If you want to play from today, yes. Just pre-order on Amazon, as you don't have to pay for it.

 

Everybody can play though from Friday so you'll get 6 days instead of 3 if you pre-order.

 

We made sure last night a few people that hadn't, just quickly did it and got a code.

I've come to expect day 1 patches on release but a day 1 patch for a beta seems excessive :lol: 

 

I'll make sure I get the update going as soon as I get home but I wont be playing until about 9 ish.  I expect the servers to be dead at launch but hopefully they will have calmed down a little by the time I come to play.

Well...

 

Preordered. Got a code. Entered code.

 

"Code has already been used or may have expired"

 

Awesome....

 

Not cool. Did you put the code into Bungie.net first to get a Playstation Code?

Yep it's failing at the bungie stage. Bungie saying it's an issue from amazons side and amazon saying it's an issue from Bungies side. :angry:
