"When the time comes, new doors will open in the Tower".

Oh my.

2 hours?!

The Iron Banner playlist will be open for 2 hours. This is going to sculpt my tomorrow considerably.

Not only was the maestro in the update - but asked the question I have been itching to have included. Thanks!

Handsome and permanent rewards?

L3g10NsL3gACy: "Will anything in the Beta change after the two days of maintenance or the dates of the Beta after the 22nd?"

Yes - especially on the 26th. You want to be there for that day. Report for Beta testing duty at 2PM Pacific. Your rewards will be handsome and permanent.

As in, permanent beyond the Beta to launch? Sounds really awesome if that's what they're implying.

Hopefully the time is more a start point then appointment.

Two more hours than Xbox players get. I'm surprised there hasn't been any vitriol for this, but maybe it just hasn't clicked in people's heads...

Sucks that I might miss out as well. I'll try to be there, though.

No. I thought of it. At this point would saying anything bring any effect? Besides, its not what we do know - its what we don't.

Aww, I'll be at work :(

I just figured they'd do something similar near the end of the week.

Considering the special all platform Beta event is the same time on the same day of the week as this Playstation-only Iron Banner, I'm kind've suspecting that that is what it is--another 2 hours of Iron Banner, but for all four platforms. Kind've odd to only test the playlist for such a short time.

"As a player of Destiny, you have a Bungie account that’s bound to your PSN ID or your Xbox LIVE Gamertag, instead of a specific generation of device.”

Does this mean I need another bungie account to play xbox with destiny if I started with PSN?

Eh, I'm all cried out.

Considering you can link both an Xbox and a Playstation account to your Bungie profile, I would say no.

No. Bungie.net can easily link both your XBL and PSN accounts. And your Facebook account. And your Google account. You'll find it on your account's settings page on bungie.net.

The way I understand it no. But you can't pull your character across Xbox/PS... So you'd have unique characters for both?

Working 9-5 Saturdays...not fun.

by Stephen Laughlin ⌂ @, Long Beach, CA, Saturday, July 19, 2014, 02:52 (3784 days ago) @ SigbiasSilva

Oh well, I guess.

Is this going to be like...a regular thing? All the cool Destiny shit happens at 2pm on Saturdays? I hope at least whatever's going down on the 26th lasts for longer than two hours so I can join up after work. :[

"When the time comes, new doors will open in the Tower".

I had a feeling about this. I noticed during the Alpha that there are other areas in the Tower that haven't been opened up for access yet.

Dang. 360 Only AND the In-Laws are visiting...bummer.

by minasodaboy ⌂ @, Madison, Sunday, July 20, 2014, 06:19 (3783 days ago) @ SigbiasSilva

Hmm. After 2 years+ of anticipation, it looks like I'm not going to get much beta time or rewards with both the xbox delay and the in laws coming to visit Friday - Sunday!

Oh well. Have fun everyone!
