Zell Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Thought I'd post some footage of some of the fun we had in Mayhem Clash at the weekend. Apologies in advance, I went full-on shotgun wanker in this match. Checking Destiny Tracker, apparently I am now in the Top 2000 for Best Game Score! Manage to wrangle "working from home" tomorrow, so should be online in the afternoon for some Taken King story missions.
Shorty Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I don't think I can do working from home tomorrow, but I'm going to get an early start and be home around 4ish hopefully! Up for doing the story co-op from then if anyone wants.
Daft Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Kind of wish I'd taken the day off...but also want to go to the gym which I wouldn't have done if I had. I'll see if I can get out of work a little early but I doubt I'll be home before 6. Still, got Friday off and can't wait for later! And I promised myself I would try and not rush through absolutely everything.
Deathjam Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Have to download another update before you can play. Downloading incredibly slow, oh wait, it's preparing to download. Great
Shorty Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I doubt it'll be big, they said some things would be fixed 15/09 so I'm guessing some hotfixes. Left my PS4 in Rest Mode whilst at work, anyway! I said the same @Daft, I'm sticking with that, too! I didn't even complete a single subclass quest, only started the Gunslinger one, so I have 8½ of those to do and gonna take my time.
drahkon Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 There's no way the DLC will cost 20€, right?
Shorty Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 What DLC are you talking about? The Taken King is £40/40€ on its own. The small addons (exotic class items etc) are even more of a ripoff at £20/20€.
drahkon Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 What DLC are you talking about? The Taken King is £40/40€ on its own. Yeah that. I'm out then.
Shorty Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 That pricing was literally announced three months ago today I'm sure the game content itself isn't worth that price tag (although it does look promising). However playing new content with the clan is worth it. If you'd ever turned your mic on and joined a raid, you might've had a different opinion.

So I missed that. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my playtime with Destiny. Even without doing any raids. Just don't want to pay 40€ for the DLC.
Shorty Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I can appreciate that. I wouldn't have been happy with that either, but I got it for £20 of supermarket vouchers
Daft Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Sorry, just seen this. Do you have a full fire team? Sorry dude, got home and was a bit out of it. Woke up with a fecking cold, so that explains that. I'll probably get caffeinated before I get on tonight and power on through. I said the same @Daft, I'm sticking with that, too! I didn't even complete a single subclass quest, only started the Gunslinger one, so I have 8½ of those to do and gonna take my time. I got quasi-bullied into doing the Voidwalker one but yeah, not in a rush to do the others. Same with the Gunsmith rep, I did the three guns I enjoyed using and weren't a chore and thought sod the others. I tried the sniper in Crucible but that was a little frustrating so scrapped it after two kills with it. Previously I would have grinded the sniper and the fusion rifle out until I was frustrated and hated the game. "I AM IN A GOOD PLACE. I DO NOT NEED MORE NOW. I WILL GET THERE IN MY OWN TIME. BE THE RNG YOU WISH TO SEE." This is my new mantra. Edited September 15, 2015 by Daft
Shorty Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Doing the sniper in crucible was actually kinda fun! Taking you out of your comfort zone a bit, but the gun looked cool and handled like Praedyth's Revenge. I wouldn't recommend it on Mayhem though....
Jimbob Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 As long as everything is in order, i'll be on from around 8pm this evening if anyone wants to start/help with the story on co-op.

Taking you out of your comfort zone a bit, but the gun looked cool and handled like Praedyth's Revenge. I wouldn't recommend it on Mayhem though.... I think since I literally on found my groove this week with snipers in PvP, I went from Praedyth – where I was like YAAAAY – to the Omolon – where I felt like I'd regressed to being shit again. Although you could just be right about Mayhem. PR is beastly on Mayhem. I was having too much fun to change and it was already a new play style for me. Praedyth was actually the reason why I never got round to using the fusion rifle either. Ha!
Shorty Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Longest enemy kill distance - 2,004M (top 1%) Wait, wat? 2km?
DriftKaiser Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 After a year of trying to get Monte Carlo, Cryptarch just gave me a green engram and decrypted it into Monte Carlo... Can't wait to use it with my Hunter!
Daft Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 IT'S SO FUCKING BEASTLY WITH THROWING KNIVES. It sustains me.
Ganepark32 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Had a quick go this morning of the TTK content before heading to work. Have completed the first mission and a couple of quests/bounties I had sitting waiting for the content to drop and got myself up to lvl 36 but stopped it there as had work and, like others, going to take it slow with the content so that it lasts as long as possible. Still, that opening cutscene was great and the first mission was decent enough. Not sure I'm all that keen on the scanning stuff that they included but it wasn't too intrusive or over the top so hopefully that's how it'll stay. Have been getting a few green armour drops that are slightly better than my current gear but as is always the case, the roll on the upgrades doesn't sit with my load out (getting increases to HC speed when I main a Scout) so think it'll be a little bit longer before I replace some of my gear or weapons as the same seems to have occurred there. Won't get another chance to play until the weekend but looking forward to it and nice to see more of a story taking centre stage so far. Edit: Oh and my Destiny Legend of You video gave me the title Surgeon Ganepark32, The Unstoppable. Apparently collected 3427 kills with my MIDA but was saddened to see they didn't include my highest crucible score (IIRC, it was 7000 something points). Edited September 15, 2015 by Ganepark32
DriftKaiser Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I'm finally free from doing stuffs for Dead Orbit now I got the Revenant Shader. Sorry @Daft!
Daft Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 My dedication to Dead Orbit is more than shader-deep. The Hanged Man shader has kept me content...until Revenant drops some day.
Eddage Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I don't think I can do working from home tomorrow, but I'm going to get an early start and be home around 4ish hopefully! Up for doing the story co-op from then if anyone wants. I'd be up for that, I've started it with my Warlock but can jump on an alt. My dedication to Dead Orbit is more than shader-deep. The Hanged Man shader has kept me content...until Revenant drops some day. I got revenant straight away today, now on to New Monarchy for that beautiful ship
Jimbob Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Finally started up again, was invited to do some Crucible and Strikes practically as soon as i arrived at the Tower. Managed to reach Level 37 without doing a lot, and it is weird getting rid of the older gear (well, not all of it as of yet) and getting new stuff to replace it. Not got a new Primary yet, still using my older ones for now. I can tell this will be a lot of fun over the coming weeks and months. Also did that The Legend of You thingy, apparantly i'm in the top 6% of Hive Ogre kills and the top 9% for grenade kills. And my nickname is (according to Bungie on that video) The Surgeon. Edited September 16, 2015 by Jimbob
Shorty Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I wouldn't get rid of any gear except generic vendor stuff, you never know if it might be upgradeable one day, and the vault will only get bigger. Flew through the story last night and hit level 40 in no time. So fun, so much to do. The missions are actually cinematic for a change, and don't get me started on the actual cinematics. So far my only real disappointment was probably the standard strike. There were some new mechanics, although they were kind of "see it once, never be stuck for a moment ever again", and the boss fight was fun, lots to dodge. But it was extremely short! I feel like they've removed enemy wave fights erroneously, just because the vocal minority kicked up a fuss. But really the odd defence section is a solid gameplay mechanic which, used sparingly, extends the life of a mission very well. I found the PSN strike and the VoG mission where you fight a boss in the Gorgon Maze to be much more fun than that strike. But still, that's only a minor, minor complaint, the strike will still be great with modifiers etc. Everything else was awesome, great to go through it with DriftKaiser and Zell - sorry Eddage, I didn't see your message on here til after we'd started and I'd already been requisitioned by Drift anyway Nothing so far has been artificially difficult or any crap like that. Can't wait to raid, and raid again on hard!!
Daft Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I hit level 40 last night. Can hit light lvl 221 with the right gear equipped. From what Drift says, sounds like I have one mission left to do, I've just done the one on the moon Crota's crystal . Apart from feeling like the Beta of Year One is finally over, I absolutely love it. I'm a little over half way through maxing out Stormcaller. The mission for it? Awesome. It felt like some tribal rite of passage. as for the class itself, the storm grenade is awesome. The long-distance chaining melee is a lot of fun. The super? Interesting. It's fun. Great for killing hordes. First impressions is that it's pretty good on majors, too. In PvP? I got a quadruple kill on my first one. I still feel that Warlocks lack the option within subclasses that other classes have, but having three separate subclasses lessens that problem. Really cannot wait to have a whole day of it on Friday. Anyone know what light level we should aim for for the raid? I need Legendary marks baaad.
