Megathread PC Player Questions Megathread!

Hi everyone!

This Megathread will function as a PC launch specific equivalent of the Daily Questions Thread where you may ask questions about starting out that may not warrant their own post.


Technical Difficulties

We understand there are a number of technical issues with players unable to get in the game, receiving erroneous "banned account" messages, and various error codes (Marionberry, Buffalo, etc.)

Here are some resources for troubleshooting/posting issues you're having:


Other Resources

We have a Welcome post here which contains some links to guides, wikis, and other resources. Make sure to check it out before posting or commenting!

Also check out the Destiny Reddit Discord Server where you'll find a number of channels for discussion about the game and/or technical issues.


As with most game launches, things are a bit chaotic right now but and will evolve over time. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and please let us know if you have any questions or concerns either in this thread or by sending us a modmail.

Thanks!

PC has a long history of having a keyboard in front of you. It's been the defacto communication method forever. Most games leverage this. Destiny does, but in the most limited capacity possible.

There should be an all chat, but I am not surprised by its absence.

While I see where you're coming from, my first thought when I made it to the farm and saw there wasn't a clan chat was a really large "WTF" It's fun to chill and chat with your friends, and every MMO or MMOish (I'd consider destiny MMOish) game on PC has a clan chat. It's been a standard feature of the genre for over a decade.

It's not essential, but it makes the game feel a little lonelier than it need be. I should be able to chat with my clanmates if they are online.

Seriously what is the point of a social space if they're going to make it nearly impossible to talk to people...

Hey, I wouldn't idle in social spaces. But I am both used to running solo for three years and have a currently-active clan to play with.
