Gaming Destiny | Rise of Iron launch

It didnt auto download for me and i just noticed it was available around 20 mins ago
Yeah it didn't auto download for me either. Just made a note of when people said it was downloading and went in the game to trigger the download.

Right now the servers will be hammered, but if you put your PS4 in rest mode it should download faster.
 
Saw an advert for The Taken King today. Looked great and made me want to play again until i realized i'd probably be way way behind seeing as i never even did the first raid.
 
Mines just updated, will probably start a Warlock character fresh and re-play just to hear the Nolan Ghost.

If you start again I doubt you'd be that far behind. @Leg-End started not long ago and is not that far behind those who've been playing for the year.
 
Yeah, I mean all you need is a bit of luck and some strange coins. Although I guess they have now changed the currency for exotics right?

I got back into it recently (untill MGSV came out) and have never done a raid myself, you should be ok.
 
Just realised I'm going on holiday the day this comes out, been looking forward to it for months :lol: I don't think the Raid comes out for a few days after anyway luckily.
 
It's still fecking downloading I left it last night at 9gb done now it's 10.3gb and going stupidly slow, the servers must be jammed, because my speeds are actually good at the moment

try pausing the download with x, waiting 2 seconds and pressing x again to restart. playstation dc sucks.

Oh cool, I might give it another go and see what's what then. Is the new DLC/expansion going to change anything significantly? Just asking as I thought I'd seen some talk of it changing stuff but I didn't get any further than that.
 
So lads!
I don't know if some of you still remember me, but I'm thinking I might return once again!
Looking at the taken king trailers etc it brought me back to those days when we were all trying to beat the raid for the first time.
Skipped the two previous DLC's cause all I heard was negative.
But do you guys reckon I'd still get to your guys level in no time if I pick this up again?
I'm level 28 for the record.

P.s just seen I've got a bounty to claim, the sated pulse rifle I think. Any good?
 
I am a bit lost, finally got it downloaded and spent the last half hour in the tower, @Damien where do you go to replay the mission to get the strangers gun
In the vanguard hall on the right hand side there's a kiosk that says "Abandoned Quests". Click on that and pick up the quest that mentions the Garden. Play through that (first step involves going on the Strangers Call mission) and you'll get the legendary rifle at the end of it.
 
Jumped on this morning for an hour or so, did one level 11 story mission because i never actually finished the story back in the day. Got up 2 levels (i did complete a couple of bounties too tbf)

I'm really liking what i see so far though. Not sure how i get Vanguard marks now, mind you. Was gonna go after them to get my light up somewhat.

You can't right now. If you finish the whole story you will get a legendary gun though which'll give you some light.

Vanguard marks and Crucible marks are going and will be replaced by Legendary marks which'll be earnable from next week.

What's the story with pre ordering TTK not being available

Dunno. I ordered it last night despite telling myself I wouldn't
 
Don't do the subclass quests or you won't get the emblem for them. Bungie are saying emblems won't be handed out respectively but I hope they find a way to change that

Ah fair enough, I'll just finish up the story then I guess. Maybe do some crucible. Might well preorder TTK though since I'll get all the other DLC with it.

It says not available to order for me, the 2 other bundles are available but the one i want is not

EDIT: Turns out it was quite simple i just had to press the download button on HOW seeing as i get it as part of the whole game bundle i never pressed it

You've probably seen, but its now fine to do the subclass quests:

Looks like the emblem will be part of a PvP specific quest

I didnt know about it, still getting the voidwalker done is going to be pretty hard, when you have 2 others blasting off there supers and shooting at your targets
 
So out of those who have The Dark Below expansion, who wants to do Crota's End at some point over the next few days? @Sampy93 said he's up for it

Aye I'd be up for it too, do you have to have The Dark Below completed? I've got both the first two expansions but didnt want get too far into them incase there was anyone here getting back into it who wanted to do them with others
 
I'm going to get them both with TTK to save a few pennies I think. Otherwise I'd be up for it.
Smart decision

Nah, as long as you've got the expansions you'll be okay

I'll be on this evening and keen to do Crota again, haven't raided in ages!
Awesome!

I managed to do it on the third attempt on the Undying Mind strike - without a fully upgraded Light Beyond Nemesis. If you have got a fully upgraded LBN it should be even easier. Try to put as much into intellect as you can to lower the time for super to fill, and its best to only start using your super on the steps bit where it splits into two sides and all the yellows appear. Kill three of them to get seven orbs, and with the others generating craploads of orbs too, your super will near instantly refill.
 
Smart decision

Yep. Two missions left to do tonight and i'll have 'experienced' all of the base games story. Think i'll be getting Vanguard rep up a bit and maybe pledging allegiance to a faction and working on that i guess. Up to level 31 now too :)

Congrats! If you pledge allegiance to a faction, when you complete a bounty, rep goes to both vanguard and the faction, with the faction getting less rep than the vanguard bit so would probably advise getting a faction fairly early as both vanguard and faction rep goes up after activities.
 
Can you change the appearence of your armour with better stats to look like lower stat armour but better looking aesthetically yet?

Ah nice one, only problem is i don't have enough glimmer to pledge allegiance right now :lol:

Don't think so :(

:lol: If you've got any of those glimmer consumables remember to use them to increase your glimmer when killing enemies of the specific type

Yeah i noticed this morning i've definitely got a few of them. I'll whack the one for killing Cabal on while i do some of the Mars story if i remember.

You'll need Vex one for the last story mission too

:( Damn. I'm pretty sure I read that was one of the mooted changes coming in. I've got a brilliant looking exotic chest plate but its stats dont match up to the Legendary one I got a few weeks ago.

I'm hopeful they'll implement it at some point. Just happy they brought in the various kiosks, especially the shader ones as it was annoying getting tonnes of the same shaders
