Gaming Destiny | Rise of Iron launch

Can't get anywhere near Phogoth. Tried about 4 times with all 3 of us being level 12, not even touching the sides.

Yeah, you need to be around level 15/16 ideally. I managed to do it when I was 15, with a 16 and 23 accompanying me. Managed to do both Venus strikes last night too. On level 18 now.
 
Disappointed that they're apparently easier. This game is so much better for the challenge.
 
What level are they meant for? I haven't been onto Venus yet.

Is Venus good?
 
Is this worth getting if you have 0 mates who have it? Sounds like it's largely centered around clans and all that. Also looks like the type of game that I'd be shockingly bad at.

I'm pretty shocking myself. Play with us in the Caf clan and you'll have a laugh. No one takes it that seriously except for Cina who spends most his time in the tower complaining about players leaving early.
 
I'm right at the end of 19, about 1/8th to go to 20. And I finished all the storyline missions so I guess I'll be trying the 18+ strikes today

I'm on PS3 if anyone wants to join for the high level strikes today. Also if anyone needs help with the earlier missions I'll be around as well
 
I don't even know what the story is.

I don't think I know one thing about it.

When you think about it thats bad though, not bad enough for me to hate a game, but bad...

I remember what you were saying; that it's not possible to have a deep and meaningful story on a social game, but TSW has that deep story with cut-scenes and great lore so it is possible. Bungie just don't seem to have managed it... yet.
 
It's not so much I thought it was not possible, just that it's difficult, especially for a first one.

They came at this game with a fairly grand idea (think when they started it) and big ambitions. They will have basically made the game and just had a narrative to fit it which took a massive backseat.

Every mission was always going to be a 'go and clear this area' sort of deal, with the only objective seemingly to go to a place and let your Ghost look at it and tell you what it is.

Plus Dinklage sucks at voice acting.

Yeah he's awful. Disappointing too because I expected him to be brilliant for the role. Even wondered if he may live up to Merchant as Wheatley at one point.

I didnt even realise that was Dinklage as your Ghost. Wow what a waste of talent.

And I agree the story is poor
 
If Dinklage had put in a good performance, it could have easily masked the poor story. Merchant on Portal 2 carries that game and is absolutely incredible. It hasn't got a bad story or whatever, it's just I'm saying it didn't really matter - going through the game was made fun just because you had Wheatley next to you being a gimp.

 
Do you all play with mics like n00bz.
 
Did the playstation timed exclusive "Dust Palace" where the PS exclusive stuff drops 1 time and it took me to 20.

Got a rare level 16 item at the end, one of the three got 2 of them but nobody got any of the exclusive stuff. Looks like you have to grind it...

Oh but the armour it gave me had +2 light on it, so I went straight from 19 to 22
 
So how does the app and caf group thing work? I can't seem to find any trace of groups/clans anywhere. Be fun to play with some people on here.
 
The strange coin merchant turned up today, found on the way to your class trainer guy where you have to go down the ramp. Opposite the quartermaster guy I think.

Sells nice stuff but you need strange coins and motes of light

Surprised someone else has heard of it tbh. Its still by far and large my favourite MMO.
 
The end scene makes out like I've been through an extremely epic storyline full of wonders when in reality, I've not got the faintest what happened.

From when I was lowly lvl 6, it's not so much your lvl... it's your loadout and how you use it.
 
:lol: And he wasn't even the best character in it!


They're both brilliant ah. I scratched my copy, so when I knew Lovefilm was gonna stop renting games I got Portal 2 and told them I'd sent it back and it was lost in the post.

Did you ever play the co-op? Also quality.
 
Anyone up for PvP? Just jump into my fireteam or message me...

Also just noticed that Salvage event is on already...
 
I think Activision are hoping it helps to shift a lot of next gen consoles before they consider putting it on PC.
