Gaming Destiny | Rise of Iron launch

Man I wish I could blame it on something like that. Just purely lacking concentration while speaking on the phone. So utterly frustrating but I just got to hope he sells it again sometime soon.

So who else has got the DLC? The dark below starts tomorrow and i'm looking forward to a new raid.

Is anybody around early Tomorrow to give it a first run through?.
I'll be on, the exotic upgrade malarkey has ruined my desire to keep grinding on the current content for now, so I'm looking forward to some new things to do.
 
Any of you kind souls willing to run through the weekly with me at some point today?
I will be on after the match. If you've not done it by then, I will do it.

Tonight, I am going to have all my characters' Cryptarch & Vanguard ranks poised just shy of the next level, in the hope of getting a lucky drop of some new gear on Tuesday.

I hadn't thought of it, until some random dude mentioned it last night. Good idea, though.

I'll also get it. Won't be on untill around 18 though. Are people willing to give it a try tomorrow night?
 
The new raid isn't available straight away, is it?

It is if you're level 30. HM is locked though.

I'm still not sure about the DLC, might get it later on. The exotic changes has put me off the game.

Unless they are funny looking rabbit ears, it looks likely :drool:

Come on man, who else is going to keep me amazed with wicked skilz?. I really don't see the big deal about the exotics. With the amount I play the game levelling back up the perks on a weapon won't take long. If the base damage is higher their isn't really a downside apart from the time you've already spent?.
 
If that's a shot of the first week of Xur stock, it's nice that my Suros Regime is included in the upgraded set. As is my exotic helmet that I use for raids.

I can't make it out properly, but is the fourth weapon along Patience & Time?
It is, but I wouldn't count on that being Xur's stock this weekend. At least there are 12 exotic upgrades each week though, shouldn't have to wait too long for the opportunity to upgrade specific items.

I know, but it's not the only the exotic stuff tbh, it's the other shit Bungie do. But I'll most likely get so I can play with you guys, it's funny watching you die so many times!

Yeah, it is a bit annoying but exotics will require less xp to upgrade when the DLC is launched so it won't take that long.

Exotic legs confirmed?
Yes :drool:. They were confirmed for some time.
 
Just did the daily at level 30...

1.1.0.1 : The one to pave the way for The Dark Below.

Destiny Expansion I: The Dark Below will become available for download by players on December 9th at 1AM Pacific time. Before it arrives, this update will support the delivery of new content.

The Dark Below
  • General bug fixes to content features in The Dark Below

Activities
  • Increased challenge levels for the following:
    • Daily Heroic Story
    • Weekly Heroic Strike
    • Weekly Nightfall Strike

Players who need to level up to successfully complete featured missions at new difficulty levels will find what they need to upgrade their characters in the Tower. As part of Expansion I, vendors will be equipped with more powerful weapons and gear. These items will be available for acquisition by all players.

Does that mean everyone can level up to 30 and beyond even if they don't buy the DLC?

Yeah, looks that way. Ooh, so there are level 30 versions of the daily and weekly? What's the deal with nightfall? Will it become level 30 only?
 
What I don't understand is why the weapon resets when you go for the upgrade? It's crap.
 
If you're up for it, sure. Do you need to do it or would you just be helping me out?
I've already done it, but I don't mind helping you do it. I'll only be running Tiger strikes to get my Warlock's Vanguard rep up to just before the next level, anyway.

Give me five minutes and I'll join you.

Cheers, I'll get started. If anyone else fancies tagging along as well, feel free to join!

Thanks for that mate! Have to go now, but I'll be on tomorrow hopefully playing through the new content a few times!
 
No problem, mate.

I died so many times there. :lol:
The solar burn makes that final boss quick, but also pretty tough. The boss itself can kill you in two or three shots and has massive splash damage, and all the adds have solar damage, so you can die pretty quickly just from getting caught on the map. You did pretty well considering you were only level 27!
 
Question, can I only download the Dark Below DLC or do I have get the season pass?

You can get just the dark below, but the expansion pass saves you £5 if you end up getting house of wolves as well.

Yeah, I went for the season pass. Wanna run the story?
 
I won't be able to get on for another couple of hours. But seems looking at bungie.net the nightfall is 30 and one of the new strikes.

Guess that will be step one if anyone is around then and wants to do it with me.

Just picked up the first DLC gun. Murmur, a fusion rifle that can switch between solar and arc damage. Pretty cool!
 
If anyone is on the fence about buying this - it's cheap on PSN for the next couple of days.
 
fecking hell, that nightfall was a pain in the arse. The rewards were a joke
 
I'm on the fence. Apparently the nightfall is the new strike in the DLC so if you haven't bought it you can't do the nightfall/heroic this week? I thought they'd do that.
 
Apparently, they are "Not legit 30s" like the guys that have got their gear from VoG. There are mass arguments on the Bungie forums. :lol:
I find the whole real v fake 30 stuff on those forums really stupid. Who cares how someone got the gear as long as they can shoot the bad guys
