Bit miffed cd keys ain't giving the beta access
Preorders just let you in one day earlier, everyone can take part in the beta
You will be finished with the beta in less than a day, there really isn't much in it at all, 1 campaign mission, 1 strike and 2 pvp modes on one map. It's mostly to gauge your hardware needs.
I know it's not allot but it's destiny I need it hahaPreorders just let you in one day earlier, everyone can take part in the beta

After creating a Blizzard account I can't seem to redeem my beta code, the process just keeps dumping me back to the login screen. I think it's a problem with my bungie.net verification, despite the screen saying I was verified ok. Have emailed Bungie and will see what happens. Anyone else had issues with the pc beta redemption process?
Perhaps you have to redeem it on the battle.net client?
Yeah that was something I stumbled upon whilst trawling help threads on the Bungie site. The beta code I have turns out it is a Bungie code, not a Blizzard (or xbox / PSN) one. Your hopes of a reply from a technical support are never good when the automated email response warns you they may not be able to reply due to the volume of emails they are receiving and then points you to their forums
More beta details this morning, the PC beta will be an updated, later build from the console version with quicker ability recharge times and more frequent power ammo drops. There's also an extra PvP map that's never been shown before.
The anti-cheat is extremely strict and as a consequence blocks visual overlays from third party applications. That means overlays such as fraps, msi afterburner, discord and mumble will not display. Programs in the background will still work (for example msi afterburner's graphs and voice audio from discord) but you just can't add extra visuals and text over the game.
Basically the game resists code being inserted by foreign applications.

Bit harsh, but if that what it takes for an effective anti-cheat then I'm for it
Believe me, I'm a Division player and we'd *kill* for a decent anti-cheat system!!
Yep. I'm happy with those changes. Anything that stops cheating and I'll be happy! Not long to go now
Am I right in believing that someone made a spreadsheet with usernames on? Shall i pop that in OP?

Another reason for me to sit back and wait and see what happens; I like having Afterburner and what not on and see the system specs so I can properly tweak. It seems that with this censoring of everything non-native I just have to guess or Win-key out? Anyway, I'll be looking forward to the beta and see if this game is for me
Even though you can't see it during gameplay anymore, it won't affect logging at all. So you can record logs or alt-tab out to see the graphs in afterburner.
Censoring is the wrong word to use. It's punchy and it's dramatic and it makes for a good conversation - but it's not censorship. There is no deliberate act of hiding or withholding information. After years of PC gamers moaning about rampant cheating, this (the prevention of third party injection of code/scripts) is what may be necessary to stop it in any significant manner.

Good point, thanks. I wonder how this will play entirely solo (raids are out then, I suppose).

The guided games bit is with randoms, correct?
I think the gist of it is that it's a group of friends/clanmates, who take the last one or two spots from a pool of players who have listed themselves as seeking a guided raid. So you could have 5 friends who will take a randomly chosen player who's signed up for the game.
Destiny's always been very pug-friendly, there are websites dedicated to finding groups for raids, I have used the100.io for years for example. The community is the friendliest of any game around (on par with sunbros in Dark Souls), there's no toxicity at all.
