In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
I do on my hunter, but I am at work, and will be raiding with it tonight so not going to be able to do it till tomorrow.
Play through till venus, go to ishtar commons, load up on bounties and just keep shooting people in the face.
It takes around 30 minutes per level if you just shoot things even without bounties.
Sounds good. I'll hopefully have 2 mates to bring along then. I've only done it twice and haven't the foggiest how to get through the maze so if any others on here fancy giving us a hand that'd be great.
Oh dear Damien, haha!
unlucky @Damien. I don't even want the shotgun.BTW, I need to run the nightfall again. You guys up for it?
Already done it on all 3 chars and got to go anyway in a few, sorry!
I seriously have no fecking luck when it comes to nightfall. This week
- Doctor Nope
- 11 Ascendant Shards (already had over 100)
- 9 Ascendant Energy (got 200 of those...)
Takes the piss.
And sorry @PlayerOne. I kept thinking I was a hunter so did my super thinking I'd be doing golden gun when out came that weapon of light bubble which fecked things up for you along with me fecking up the throw of my grenade >.>
Well if it's any consolation, not only do I have that helmet, but I was wearing it. So I essentially only got 2 shards.
Not much of a consolation as didn't you get another exotic helm earlier this week in another nightfall? and the one I wanted for my Titan too!
Haha, true! Well if karma exists, you've obviously done something horrific somewhere along the line!
My most disappointing game of the year.
For the shit some of you gave Titanfall it lived upto what they promised and delivered.
Destiny falls short of a ton of standards that Bungie themselves set. No excuses.

Nah, DriveClub gets that.
Ahh I dunno. The guys on this place were convinced that reviewers had been way too harsh and it was a great game.
I like it as a game but the online fiasco is a shambles. Not been on it in a while so might have improved
I'm with @Locka1 on this. Even though I put in so many hours I still feel disappointed by it all. I mean the story is a joke, you just need to watch the first cutscene and that's it.
It's not even that, it's the way Bungie are handling it all. Not listening to what people want, brining out shitty updates, which make the game worse and fecking RNG.
Someone posted this on Reddit, lists everything that's wrong.

So basically a few points which have been highlighted over and over again in this thread? As for the exotic thing, it'd be ridiculous if people could equip multiple exotic weapons.
Yeah, but the thing is most of them haven't been fixed.
Whilst I do agree that DriveClub was disappointing it wasn't on the same level as Destiny. It was pretty clear something was wrong with that game when half of the development team got sacked. Pretty sure that studio is gonna get shut down anyway.
So the points from that link:
- Plenty of online error codes - yep, Bungie do try to deal with them though
- Weapons being nerfed too much - nerfing was a necessity in a lot of cases due to PvP aspect but they overlooked the PvE side of things and that the Vex Mythoclast which was supposed to be the best weapon in the game (I assume, given it is the main reward for beating Atheon on hard) was made worse than a lot of others. Bungie've said they're going to give buffs to certain weapons (I assume in the PvE side of things), and the downtime tomorrow will probably be partly due to them putting in the groundwork for these updates later on... does seem like they're relatively quick to nerf and slower to implement positive changes though
- Short campaign/DLC - agreed completely
- Not fully explorable - when was that last said before the launch? would have been nice if it was fully explorable but not sure how it would have worked exactly... would have needed the bad story aspect/repetitiveness to be sorted
- Terrible PvP - PvP is not my thing anyway but can see where people come from on that
- Queen's Wrath being useless - for those who made full use of the loot cave and getting craploads of legendary equipment, yes, but it wasn't useless for those struggling (like @Laidback Levo and @TheSwagginator I think for example).
- Iron Banner - yeah, they said they'd be making improvements for when it is next out
- No matchmaking for VoG - can't see matchmaking working well for VoG to be honest, other things to fix before deciding on that
- Still only 6 strikes, 5 if you have XBOX - DLC
- RNG - agreed
- No voice chat - doesn't bother me personally as I don't use it but can see how it annoys some. Don't think there's a real need for it in the game anyway.
- Can only equip 2 exotics - not an issue at all, dumbest complaint on there
- 95% of armour looks the same - yep, and to be top level everyone has to wear the same armour. Some sort of transmogrification would be nice.
- Ships useless - would be nice if they did... something
- Wildlife in galaxy extinct - okay, what sort of wildlife do you expect there to be on Mars, Venus or the Moon?
Can no longer do this evening pal. Apologies, I've added you so can hopefully sort something out another time.
Anyone else need to do the nightfall?
I am going to be a little late for the raid, do you guys mind holding on till quarter past 8 for me?
I'm fine with that. Just grinding for weapon upgrade materials right now.
Thanks for the tag @Damien
I can actually play tonight but i haven't played in a while so can't really recall where i am (like lvl 24/5 maybe) or what i'm going to do

Yeah, the game is far from perfect, but that list from reddit is largely nonsense. I really can't complain too much given how much time I've spent on the game, and for the most part I've really enjoyed it, but here are my gripes:
- Short and pretty crappy story
- The period between levels 20-26 is ridiculously grindy. Personally if it were up to me, I'd make the standard level cap 30, but allow light gear to be collected from level 20 onwards. That way you are still slowly levelling up normally while you collect the light gear.
- RNG - my main gripe here is the PVP rewards, but I also think there should be other ways to get the raid gear, even if it requires collecting 750 marks or 100 motes of light or something, at least then you wouldn't feel completely at the mercy of the RNG.
- Customization - It's decent enough during the first 20 levels, but the options in terms of armour become more and more limited until you reach the raid gear, where your only 'customization' becomes which exotic item you use. I really hope the DLC fixes this and gives more choice rather than just giving a single set of gear that allows you to reach 32.
- Events - I honestly thought there'd be events every other week or something, each with unique guns/armour on offer. This would also have helped massively with the customization issue.
- Updates - Bungie really does seem to fix the wrong things. It baffles me that they were so fast to patch the atheon cheese and yet they still haven't fixed the glitchy minotaur and they haven't done anything about the fact that quite often only 1/2 players are teleported. I don't know if the portal glitch has been fixed now, as I haven't experienced it for a while, but even if so, that took longer than the cheese patch.
I can't really think of much else I would criticize. Obviously that is still a fairly big list, but it doesn't particularly surprise me. Destiny is a very ambitious game and it is really not surprising that they didn't get everything right first time. If they make the same mistakes when it comes to Destiny 2 or whatever, then the criticism will be fully warranted.

Or, if like me you constantly forget your PSN password, go to www.destinypublicevents.com then click Tower, type in your PSN name and press enter.
Ah nice, cheers. Not been on destinypublicevents in a while so not seen that addition
I'm guessing you don't have any exotic armour?
Not a jot!
If you're able to be on anytime on Friday or Saturday and you have at least four strange coins, I can do the weekly with you on level 28 which would give you 9 more which would be enough to buy a piece.
I don't think i have that many strange coins, maybe 2 or 3. I'll check when i get on. I can be on on Friday and Saturday though so that's cool i guess.
Alright. Either way I'll help you out
Thanks hombre!
I am back, just invite when ready.
Same. Hopefully there's enough. Levo isn't on yet.
