Man I really need to get this Raid done

Oh man @Daft, that Scout Rifle sounds the bees knees, I want me some of that! Is it Raid weaponry?

Not at all, it'll be fun learning (I've only tried it once). So that's 3 of us, any more fancy giving the Raid a go?

Plus I had a full day in the game without any shitty disconnects! It was great! How many people would we have for a Raid on here that aren't already in a group? So far it's @Blade and myself...

Ok so I can add Bad Juju to the list of exotics as well as another Shotgun, named Invective... that fires full-auto and has an upgrade whereupon ammo regenerates after time.

So, 3rd date at the Comedy Store was a blast. Went for a drink afterwards and had a right laugh. She's sweet, funny, smart, gorgeous and hasn't gone nuts in the slightest... have I actually found a normal girl for once?! I wonder how I'll mess this one up! Haha

Oh man, you've got so much epicness to come!!!

So I'm caught up with The Heroic Legend of Arslan. It follows the story fairly well, although Daryoon and Arslan aren't really portrayed as well as I'd have liked. Daryoon isn't just a skilled fighter, his mind is as sharp as his blade but in this it seems he's portrayed as simply the fighter. Still, it's great reading it again (even if the seriousness is taken out of it).

I was going to say, this is based on The Heroic Tale of Arslan, my dad had a book of it when I was younger (being half-Iranian I was well into it!). I've seen the original anime adaptation too, I'll definitely read this!

3rd date with this girl on Friday, going to the Comedy Store and then on to a bar after. This is usually around the time that they go crazy so fingers crossed! Haha

@Daft, no worries man, if you need any spots anytime we're game just in case. @Blade and I will be doing the Weekly Nightfall Strike tonight at just after 8pm if anyone fancies joining the 3rd spot? Also, if people are on and fancy giving the Raid a go tonight, let us know as we're up for it!

Keep checking the gunsmith daily to see if he's selling any Rare Fusion Rifles, if he is, buy 10 and dismantle them. That's what I did, haha.

Yep, done it. My NAT is open, I've opened all the ports Bungie say to open to play Destiny, I'm wired in with Ethernet and not wireless, I have absolutely no issue with any other single game on any other platform, but Destiny keeps screwing up. It's infuriating! What's worse is that the error codes I'm getting suggest I'm either playing from a mobile hotspot, which I'm not, or they just say they're general networking issues that are being investigated. Bungie don't have a clue!

@Blade and I can join if you're short on people, from 8pm?

Yeah sure, 9:30 it is!

@Blade and I will do if you fancy?

Encounter to encounter is great, sure, but sometimes you want to be able to switch out a weapon for use quickly, particularly on boss fights. For example, fighting Phogoth in the Summoning Pits, I'm usin my sniper to hit his weak point and then the Wizards come, I'd like to be able to switch out to a fusion rifle to take them out. To do so it's fiddly. Sometimes I'm playing and just fancy switching weapons frequently because that's the mood I'm in, it'd be nice having that there as opposed to having to go into the menu to do so. I get why they've not done it, all I'm saying is that I'd prefer it if they did it another way. The last suggestion I think seems a fair one I reckon. That you can change weapons shows it's not something they don't want, just the way you have to do it (even when not in battle) irks me.

For me it's enough to break the feeling of being truly immersed in the game, that irks me. People moan about looking at the Gamepad from the TV on WiiU breaking immersion but this is worse, especially so because it's fiddly. Also, you do have to find cover to change, leaving you teammates without you, however briefly... I don't want to leave those guys man!!! Haha

This is true and a good point. I think it'd be good, and not too overpowering, if they let you assign one more of each class of weapon to the D-Pad. I'd like to be able to switch out my sniper for something a little more close combat fairly readily, that's the main one for me. I'd kind of like something like so... My main set-up: Auto Rifle Sniper Rifle (Exotic) Rocket Launcher Up - switch Subclass Left - Shotgun (Exotic) Down - Fusion Rifle Right - Machine Gun (Exotic) This way you'd have to manage your Exotics carefully still but it adds a little choice to alleviate some of the hassle of swapping weapons. In my example, if I wanted to swap to my Shotgun I'd have to swap out my Sniper first, likewise with the Machine Gun. So it'd be similar to how on a Zelda you have a vast array of items but you can assign some to certain buttons but if you want to change them you'd still go into the menu. At least then you don't have instant access to too many weapons... no?

One thing I think Bungie could do is patch in something useful for the D-Pad to do, something like this... Up - switch Subclass Left - cycle Primary weapon Down - cycle Special weapon Right - cycle Heavy weapon It's such a pain in the ass going into the options menu to change weapons!

As hard as it as and as much as you don't want to, I'd not see each other again. You've both cheated on each other, that to me says it all, you don't belong together. I'm just dead against cheating, there's no reason for it and if you both truly cared for each other neither would do it. That's just my view.

Just need to do the Raid more to get Raid gear really, that and collecting upgrade materials, urgh.

I think this might be one of the reasons why I've not been absorbed by the story and why I find it lacking and not as good as people made out. It shows as I'm still at the part where I last mentioned simply because I've not played it since, I've not had any desire to pop it on. The multiplayer for me is stronger than the campaign but then that pales in comparison to Battlefield (I know they're different types of games but Battlefield is just so much more fun) and I also prefer Destiny, even though I've done practically everything on it!

So, is anyone still reading Shingeki No Kyojin? ...because OH MY FUCKING GOD?! I love it man!

I've got myself a few exotic weapons now, it's been a good couple days of Destiny for me. I've got: Thorn - hand cannon. Universal Remote - shotgun (sits in the primary weapon slot). Ice Breaker - sniper rifle. Pocket Infinity - fusion rifle. Super Good Advice - machine gun. ...and I've got the bounty for Bad Juju - pulse rifle.
