Gaming Destiny | Rise of Iron launch

Just cleared all my Crota strikes. Got three shards, a pair of boots and the rest energy. Can't wait until I reach Crota's Bane rank 4 and I can convert all that energy into shards.

Should I buy this game if I never play online? is the campaign worth it?


Probably not. You can blast through all the story missions of the main game in 7 hours and if you did that then you'd wonder why you bothered.

Unless you like looter shooter games where you have to replay bits of the game many times in order to find better gear and level it up. I'd steer well clear.

I'd also say that Destiny is best played with friends, so again if you're not going to team up with others you'll be missing the best stuff.
 
Can you guys get online now? I'm still getting an error message. Different one from last night, but still can't connect to PSN.

I couldn't a few hours ago. Gave up and played Dragon Age instead. Don't think it is back up properly yet either.

The attacks have stopped if Twitter is to be believed, they're just cleaning everything up. I just wanted to pick up the Eris bounties before the daily reset :(
 
Pretty happy with Xur's upgrades this week. Got myself Helm of Saint-14 and Hawkmoon, my two favourite exotics.
 
Oh crap, I'm so happy I checked this thread, I forgot it was Xur day!
 
Think I'm going to upgrade my Helm of Saint, and that'll be that for me.

Are people starting to be able to get online?
 
You probably won't be happy when you see what he has to offer, unless you still need your Gjallarhorn to be upgraded, in which case Merry Xurday for you.

I can't log in, PSN is down? But I saw what he's selling. It's honestly a joke now, every week is just disappointing. NLB is one of the worst guns in the game and it's an exotic. I was hoping for Red Death tbh or heart of praxic fire at least.

Yeah, Lizard Squad are attacking PSN. Have been for a long time. Those with pre-DLC Gjallarhorns have something to look forward to, everyone else is pretty much disappointed.

Ah, that's shit. Luckily I've been busy so I haven't noticed but it sucks for everyone else, those guys can feck right off.
 
If I manage to get on tomorrow my plan is to farm enough glimmer to upgrade Hawkmoon & Gjallarhorn.

Then I need to finish 3 night falls and 3 weeklys.

Tempted delete either my Titan or Hunter and make a 2nd Warlock as I don't think I've got enough time to keep 3 different classes levelled up.
 
Seems Xur has let me down once again. Might still buy No Land Beyond as I have plenty of coins as a collection type thing, but doubt I'll ever actually use the thing.

Don't, I t's dogshit.

it's absolutely worthless.

You will curse wasting the vault space on it.
 
Is it working for you guys again? Still nothing here :(

No.

Still widespread problems with some getting in though Xbox is apparently stable. Frustrating and as I said in the PlayStation thread shocking that it has taken this long.

According to Anonymous's Twitter, still a shitload of DDoS attacks coming from China at the moment. Haven't checked the PS4 thread, will use that for further updates.
 
How good is this game, how long would it take to catch up with you guys, and how long is this world going to last? :)

If anyone wants to give me a summary. Tempted to pick up a ps4 at some point

Pretty good but quite repetitive. Some like it, some don't. Those who are most likely to reply to you in here will be a bit biased as we've stuck through it since pretty much the beginning.

Would only take two to three weeks to catch up to a certain extent depending on how much time you put in and how the RNG side of things favours you. There's a level cap which makes it easier for new players to catch up.

It'll most likely last for a while yet. Really hard to say on that side of things. The next expansion will probably be out in March.

Best aspect of the game is playing with others. I don't really do PvP, but doing the raid kind of content in PvE with other caf members is good.

If you'd like the opinion of a new player, try this newbie: https://www.redcafe.net/members/daddy-mac.65350/

I've got him on my PSN from when he played in the FIFA team a year ago and yesterday before PSN was brought down, I saw him playing it as a new character. He won't have played much of it, and will probably be a bit frustrated with the connectivity issues which is on the PSN side, but he'll likely give you a good opinion of it.
 
The story side of things is pretty much nonexistent, though there is a heck of a lot of lore that is stored in the form of grimoire cards. It's once you get to level 20 and beyond that you probably really see what the game has to offer, and also makes you think of what could have been. From the regular caf crew in the mains, @Anustart89 is one of the newest converts so could be another to give you a fresh point of view, but he's got three characters and has played around 350 hours so he's an addict.
 
Thanks damo. I havent really heard anything about this game aside from the caf

350 hours? I need to get a life :lol:

Going to bed now but if you have any questions @rcoobc I'd be happy to answer them after I get off work tomorrow. The main thing I love about the game is the social aspect of it, in that the harder stuff (raids mostly) requires voice communication to work well, and it also makes it a lot more fun when doing all the other stuff on there, like daily bounties and all that. I teamed up with @Brocky In Black and we've been on party chat on pretty much daily basis since I got the game. You can always find people from here who will help you get through the content up to level 20, but you might want to do it at your own pace with your first character so you get the hang of game mechanics, the story etc.
 
How grindy does the game feel? Is the co op gameplay good enough to make the grind for gear enjoyable?
 
Can't believe that PSN is still down.

it is very grindy. Coop is very good though. Playing with others is the only real reason I've stuck with the game.
