Gaming Destiny 2 • RedCafe Clan in OP

Set tonight as a deadline to get the raid finished. Probably accumulated 12 hours of playtime trying to defeat Calus but for the life of me can't get into a group good enough to get the job done so I'm hoping there are some 290+ who have completed it and willing to help out.
If not will concentrate on levelling other characters which I'm yet to start. 291 with my titan just grinding so I'm fairly happy with that.
I finally found a group good enough to get past the second damage phase but by internet went out :mad:. We were communicating the hell out of that fight.
 
I'm up for trying prestige nightfall later. Apparently beating the boss is easy with Merciless

I'm up for that, take you have that gun as well then

I hope so but can't honestly remember and servers are down so I can't check.

Also, on the first ring stage if someone stays at the top, after all rings are gone and the other two move on to next stage apparently the ring at the top regenerates so the person left behind can get more time to add. Not sure if the bug will still be there after the server maintenance though.
 
Haven't prestiged but am game tonight. Neelu if you fancy giving Raid a crack then give me a shout.
 
Nah that different class thing is definitely not true.
Yeah pretty sure different classes still gets uncapped rewards. They were just trying to stop the D1 tactic where people made three hunters to speed up getting raid ready by transferring armour as well as weapons across.

I'm levelling up a titan at the moment to get the nameless midnight after I stupidly picked the auto rifle on my hunter

Ok i think i know the truth now.

Nightfall, raid, crucible and trials milestones is apparently once pr account, while planetary flash-point, and the clan xp contribution milestones, as well as any exotic quests/rewards can be completed multiple times. So if you level up multiple chars of the same class you can increase your PL, but not by a whole lot

I am going to level up a new titan for scientific purposes and see for myself (also because i hate how it looks :()

You can get the same effect with the warlock boots that automatically reload everyone's guns from their reserves while in an empowering rift (doesn't even have to be your rift).

Good for the raid too, if you think a reload can take 3 or so seconds on the power weapons, across 6 people, that's 18 seconds extra damage just with one reload each.

Even an auto rifle can take two seconds, so that's still an extra 12 seconds of damage if you only factor in one reload.
 
Can someone break down the Solar, Void, Arc switching for the Nightfall. The walkthroughs gloss over how that works.
Changes Between them evey 30 seconds, comes up at the bottom left of the screen which on it is, it does an extra 50% more damage
 
Just tried my first raid, we couldn't get past the first encounter. The pleasure gardens is possibly the most tedious part of any video game I've ever played.

It really is so fecking stupid. It's not particularly challenging in anyway. We've had runs where the prism runners, up top, attract the attention of the hounds. How? feck knows. Besides, it's such a lazy concept from Bungie - a little more complicated version of the Gorgons Maze.
 
Not sure how that's a cheese, he just falls off? have they done something in particular to set it up?
Apparently after he teleports you can see him climbing the wall and if you shoot him then he just drops, saw it on reddit - not sure if it'll always work though
 
I'll be up for trying that but looks like it is a rare event and not guaranteed to happen. That is on the regular strike and not the nightfall anyway.

The hounds have "unlimited" vertical vision, which means that if you wait until you're jumping behind the dog's back, he won't see you. I do, however, agree with the criticism on rehashed mechanics. Royal Baths is basically Totems and PG is Gorgons' Maze.

My raid team's got the raid down pretty much to a tee though, completed one run in just above an hour yesterday, second run took 1hr 45 minutes due to stupid wipes and glitches (not everyone spawning in, had to go Orbit etc). Very mechanics heavy but once you get the hang of them, it's not too hard.

I’m down for trying NF after the Man Utd game
 
I did something silly last night, was progressing well and had got up to 280 so decided to get the Legendary weapon & Armour mods to bump up my power level so I bought a shitload of blue mods, exchange them for purple ones & left myself with about 5,000 glimmer. So I go to add all my newly acquired purple mods and....

I completely forgot that it costs you glimmer to add any sort of customization to weapons and armour after the fact that you have them in your inventory. I only had enough to add one purple mod and the rest of the night was spent glimmer farming and doing the doable milestones. In the end I got there though and am now at 287.

The main silly thing you did was adding them to 180 gear, just playing the game will get you to 270
 
That makes more sense:lol: ,Have ya started a second character my second is already well ahead of my first

No not yet but I feel like im getting near to the point of starting a new character though. I have what might well be my final set of weapons and armour for my Hunter as really like my current look and shader colour but have no more left so I'd be reluctant to swap any out, any other ones with a higher level I'd probably just infuse them so I'm pretty much just chasing a higher power level and whatever Exotics I can land now. I've also yet to complete a Nightfall Strike and a Raid, though to be honest the Raid sounds tedious as feck rather than challenging and fun so I wouldn't be too dismayed at missing out on that one.
 
My copy arrived today so I had a little play around earlier. I don't have an active PS Plus sub so is it worth me signing up immediately or is the start of the game the same with or without PS+?

Also is there anything better than the 14 day free trial of PS Plus? I'm sure there used to be a 30 day trial...
 
Absolutely lost with this week's Nightfall... even managed to do a slight glitch where you can extend your time by repeatedly destroying the same anomaly to an extent. Still can't kill that damn boss :lol: any tips appreciated!

I got it done with a couple of guys on here, it took us till our 3rd go. The anomalies spawn in the same place every time so make a note of where they appear, run past the enemies you don't need to kill and once you get to the boss room just have someone focus on managing adds in the room. It is a pain though, his constant dissapearing made it longer than it needed to be, we went into the final area with around 10 mins and finished with 1:30 remaining.

I'm up for trying the Nightfall later on tonight if anyone is gonna give it a go. Did I read on here that if you push the boss off the edge of the arena you kill him instantly? I just realised I have the Tractor Cannon exotic in my vault, that has a pushback effect that increases the closer you get, I've not used it much as it deals pretty low level damage for a shotgun but it sends low level enemies flying through the air, and seems to make bigger ones stagger back a bit could try to push him off the edge of the arena with that.

I tried it before, all it does is stagger unfortunately. Like you say it's not powerful enough to make use of really, best sticking to whatever your highest light is.

That Launcher is pathetic. I am a little disappointed with the exotics. Yes, you can attain them quick but they're hardly special.

What? have you tried it? I love it... maybe it's because it makes such cool sounds though :drool:
