Gaming Destiny | Rise of Iron launch

Possibly only time for this 1st one Damien, I'll try the others either later on or tomorrow.
 
I reckon they might switch around the areas that are 'farmable'. There are loads of videos about a cave on Earth that supposedly gives you loads of engrams, but when me and Sampy tried it a couple of days ago, we hardly got anything and after a while a ton of gold health bar enemies spawned and it was chaos.
 
I'm on 23 at the moment. Should hopefully make it to 24/25 or more tomorrow depending if I can beat the weekly strike.

Levo I'll be surprised if we can do it with the two of us. I tried with Sampy yesterday and we got thrashed.

I'm on level 23 too! I wanna try the weekly strikes but they look a bit hard to me.
 
Anyone know the best way to get ascendant shards? You need them to level up legendary gear and I can't find any :(
 
Sorry dude, watching Simpsons whilst the Fifa trial downloads then heading on that.
 
I would do the same but I'm only on 20%. Don't think I'll get it done this evening.
 
Any tips for speeding up my levelling guys? I wanna hit 20 ASAP so i can get in one some shenanigans with you all but i'm finding it a bit slow going so far. I've just been doing story and patrols when i can really. Done some bounties too but after i completed my first four or so the next lot i accepted are ones i'm not getting near to completing. Guess i should just keep checking and accepting the piss easy ones.

Don't think there is any quick fix, really. Just doing the bounties constantly.

That's probably the one I came across. I didn't get much either.

They're solid. Especially with it being the Summoning Pit one. Levo, Tekkers and I tried it but get stuck on the area with the three waves of enemies while the Ghost is unlocking the door - the last wave in particular where loads of wizards etc spawn. I'd probably do better if I wasn't on Vita. Can't really run or anything so will try again another time.

Some easy money in the crucible too, if you are willing to spend some time in a Control matches.

I really am awful at them. Had a crucible bounty for ages now which is to do with completing 5 Control matches. Done one. I keep dying and end up with something daft like a 0.33 K/D ratio
 
I'm totally done with this game. Doing these story missions on a stupid difficulty setting every day, with feck all checkpoints forcing you to repeat the same 20 minute part ten times only to get wiped out by 1 shot at the end, Shit endgame. Retarded levelling system, shit loot and overly long and difficult strikes with an end goal of doing a raid you need five friends exclusively for. F*ck off.
 
Yeah. The no matchmaking shit for raids is utterly ridiculous. I couldn't understand it at the time but atleast there was hope of some sort of built in clan system where it's easy to find people through playing the game and what not. It's unbelievably stupid.

I hope they really take note of all the feedback and change direction on a few areas. If the DLC is purely 'here is one new area' then it's not a good enough game to last with that.
I know I expected half of this, but I atleast though it could have a worthwhile loot game at it's basic. Could anyone seriously give a shit about loot on this?
 
I really wouldn't mind if there was end game content, but there's not, they've basically taken everything you'd already done and made it way harder, which means you have to listen to Dinklage's boring dialogue over and over and over again. How is that feasible end game? The only new thing after max level is a raid you can only do with 5 PSN friends. It's bonkers.
 
The raids would be unbearable with matchmaking. Completely useless

You need to be in contact with people and they need to know what to do and not be awful at the game. Matchmaking a raid wont find those people for you.

On the other hand matchmaking the vanguard strikes and adding people who do well to your friends list might. That way you dont spend 5 hours finding out they are incompetant and the single reason you cant progress in the raid

that's fine, but the problem is that the raid(s) are the only end game content that's original, that you haven't already played up until 50. It's crazy.
 
Wow, 2nd time I was "removed from the world" while getting near the end of the 24 solo daily.

Gotta fix that crap

Just tried it with @Browniee and we got hammered! Couldn't get past the 2nd room!

I'll be on in about 40-50 mins to give it another go. Really is difficult. Key thing is to try and stick relatively close together as you're all reliant on reviving each other, but not too close that you can all be wiped out at once.

:lol:

I was hungry. I got one blue engram from that bit where we kept jumping off. fecking green ones!!

:lol: I managed to get two. A few times I went to what I thought was a blue engram to discover it was a blue orb instead :(

My grenades look like Blues aswell. :mad:
Taking me ages to rank up in light mode. Want to try this raid mission, but need to be level 26 minimum!
 
Yeah, the Summoning Pit weekly one.

If can get the weekly strike done, then hopefully by end of Saturday I'll be able to rank up to around 25ish at a minimum. Big if though.
