So who's actually getting the DLC?

Considering the silly £20 price and the fact DragonAge and Far Cry 4 are released soon, I think I'm going to give this game a break until the new year where they hopefully balance a few things.

I'm digging straight into DA:I, then probably onto FC4... will see what the feedback on the DLC is like in here before I think about getting it...
 
Without going too far off topic has anyone bothered with the new COD?

Debating over COD or DLC when i get back from my holiday.

I got it Monday and played a bit of the campaign.
Its very pretty and they seem to of cut out the constantly spawning enemies.
Multiplayer wise, not tried it, the only thing that interests me in it is the co-op missions and they hadnt finished downloading at that point.
 
I want the Gallajhorn so badly, but Hard-Light is excellent. I got 6 strange coins from the nightfall...

@Damien that farm session last night was too funny, there were so many players.

It was insane. There were six of us! And when that public event popped up we killed him within five seconds :lol:

I've recorded 10 mins of the run so I'll be uploading that later. Just a shame one or two of them didn't bother pointing! Was just surreal...
 
I cant make any "hard" raiding sessions tonight, I promised the missus I wouldnt be on it all evening tonight.

So good luck to those that go for it!

:lol: I know! First time I see something like this, I recorded it too.

Was pretty effective though, we ran through those chests in no time.
 
You gotta upload the vid now...

Yea I'll give it a shot Damo
 
I won't be on tonight, in same boat as Randall. Won't be on properly now until Sunday.
 
Was in patrol on Mars! Only ever really seen you in PvP when I click your name in the friends list :p

That's because every time I'm on I check you lot out only to see " 6/6 fireteam Vault of Glass", get depressed, then begrudgingly go back to the crucible where I'm forever stuck as a level 28 :lol:

I'll probably join a normal mode PuG today to get the ball rolling.

Don't you have an exotic piece of armour? If you do, and three legendaries you can get to level 29.

Anyway you should speak up in here if you want to do VoG anytime. I've done it on all 3 characters so looking for hard mode only at the moment but there's still a lot who haven't done it on normal this week

Oh, I never realised you can get to 29 without raiding. My armors fully levelled up, I just need the shards and mats and I'll be good to go.

That's my exciting evening sorted then..

You only need the raid gear to get to level 30. Level 28 is just fine for VoG on normal, just watch a few videos before you run it.

Oh, and max out your weapons!
 
Oh, and max out your weapons!

See, I have a maxed out Suros Regime which does the business for me in both PVE and PVP...trouble is my secondary and special weapons are atrocious.

For specials I have:
- Lots of blues
- Patience and time sniper - Can't be bothered levelling it because arc damage, and because I don't want to displace my Suros for it.
- An exotic invective shotgun (considering shotguns are useless end game PVE forget about it)
- A legendary shotgun (see above, only use or PVP)
- A legendary solar pulse rifle, cant be bothered leveling because solar damage.

For heavy I have absolute shite. Just a bunch of blues, no legendaries or above.

I hope Xur gives me something worthwhile tomorrow!

Light needed for 29 = 109

Exotic armour = 30 light
3x Legendary armour = 27 light x 3 = 81 light

81 + 30 = 111 light = level 29

Like PO said above, 28 is fine for VoG on normal, just watch a few videos and you should get the hang of it. First time we tried it it took us many hours to get through, now after a lot of practice we can go from start to finish in about an hour.

Ah. Ideally what you need is a fusion/sniper for special and rocket launcher for heavy. Machine gun will do there too. Once you do start doing VoG, you'll start to get better weapons if RNGesus is kind.

I've always figured I needed void weapons to do the raid properly, that's what's holding me off. The only void weapons I have are secondary blues, I've been trying to grind crucible rep for the void fusion rifle, while praying that the nightfalls/weeklies/tigers/crucible drops something wortwhile for me. No luck so far.

Void weapons are definitely recommended as you need to deal with enemies that are the bigger brother of minotaurs with void shields etc. As long as the rest of the team has void weapons you might be okay but I'd recommend getting them
 
So where else would you go? I know there's a chance of chests spawning in the round cabal station things but I looked through the gap now and again and couldn't see anything so moved on

Not really, it helps as it breaks the vex shields quicker, but any half decent gun kills them quickly. Your maxed Sorus will be more than capable.

Knowing what you are doing is far more important than having superior weapons IMO.

I got the season pass with my collector's edition thingy, so I have it already bought
 
Fellow Guardians,

Yesterday I had a post talking about my husband and his Doctor recommending Destiny to serve as a form of physical therapy for him following several brain surgeries. This community was amazing, and raid groups are being organized for him out of all the people who offered to help him.

But just as amazing, Deej contacted me and has sent my husband a care package from Bungie that is on the way. Then this morning, a message from Deej told us to have my husband check with Tess the Post Master in the tower. Lots of screaming ensued.

He has been sent the exotic gun Fate Of All Fools, a solar primary that looks like it will be available in future content.

Vision of Confluence had been my husbands dream weapon, as scout is his favorite and he wanted that solar damage. A more perfect weapon could not have been chosen. I'm so jealous, but mostly so damn happy for him. As for him-- well, you can imagine :)

Thank you guys for being such a caring community. Thank you Deej and the crew at Bungie, you've made him ecstatic.

The gun: http://www.destinydb.com/items/3490486524-fate-of-all-fools#1.MxieYo8

EDIT: Someone wanted video proof, but I'm getting ready for work so here is a quick image instead: http://imgur.com/Z29JuW8 What it looks like: http://imgur.com/Vw36Tq8

I promise to post a video of it in action later! And much better photos, preferably not taken with an IPad

EDIT: So I may have been totally off base when I said its coming up in Trials of Osiris or DLC, I guess that it's all speculation. So I changed it to "future content". Also highlighted that Eric got the gun through the mail system, it wasn't via a new trading feature.

From a post on the Destiny reddit
 
Had a quick run through on normal today with a pretty good group and learnt a couple of things which I haven't seen mentioned on here:

1. Not all that interesting, but apparently in the upcoming raid, there will be a point where you have to escape an ogre on your sparrow, so maybe save up for legendary if you haven't got one yet?

2. One guy claimed that there's another chest at the jumping puzzle (he said he wasn't sure about normal mode, but said he'd gotten it on hard mode), but you have to get to it without any party member dying from the start of the maze. We got to the jumping puzzle, but then someone fell.
 
Yeah not believing either until there's some kind of proof. I've heard all kinds of nonsense from raid members :D

Yeah, obviously have to take it with a pinch of salt. They seemed fairly trustworthy, unlike some I've encountered who talk nonsense to sound cool/knowledgeable.

Well its always nice to have extra chests so I hope that part is right

Would be strange that others havent found it before...

Yeah, I agree. So who is in for hard mode tonight?

Confirmed:
Damien - Lvl 29 Sunsinger Warlock
afrocentricity - Lvl 30 Sunsinger Warlock (I assume it'll be this character anyway)

Remember: Can't revive on hard mode so Sunsinger infinite resurrection glitch comes in handy for this. Bring strongest weapons you can.
 
I don't think my DPS is good enough for Hard until I get Gjallahorn upgraded.

You can work on getting your weapons upgraded over the next hour anyway as can't see raid starting anytime soon. Despite your weapons being a bit underpowered at the moment I think you'd still be able to have a go at hard, especially with you being a sunsinger
