MULTI Destiny |OT| That Fragrance Came from the Moon

[r3aper]

Ok the latest hot fix is live, increasing the difficulty of Dailies, Weeklies and the Nightfall missions. Wooo level 30 nighfalls, I won't be putting myself into in till I get to 31. It will take us years to bring the boss's health to zero considering how big of a bullet sponges the bosses are.

Excited for the new vendor gear and to see how the commendation system works.

BTW the vendors are going to sell level 30 gear right? The level cap is increased to 32 or 33? How are we supposed to get the level 31 and 32 gear? Raid? Will it have two types of drops? Light 31 and Light 32?

 

[thegame]

My exotic arsenal!!!
Missing Guns: Monte Carlo, HardLight and Thunder Lord.

^ I have the Thunderlord! Got it from Atheon from normal mode.

So does the TDB goes live with the weekly reset? There are lots of posts at bungie forums for the Expansion to be delayed by one more day for PS users... legit news?

Yes vendors are going to sell level 30 gear. Increased to 32. From raid, iron banner and exotic drop. There will be two drops, 31 gear (iron banner gear) and 32 gear (exotic and raid gear)

Vendors would be selling 31 Light Gear !

Eris might sell, dont really know. But imo, 31 gear should not be sold by any of those vendors except Saladin. No point in doing raid and grinding then.

[h=2]Destiny racing mode 'has come up as a topic' at Bungie[/h]


Bungie says it's been talking about adding a racing mode to Destiny.


Players in the game can zoom around on Sparrow hoverbikes. Some have organized unofficial races and leagues in the game. Asked about an official mode in an interview with GameSpot, community manager Eric Osborne said that the idea had come up. But he added that there are no guarantees racing will be implemented.




"It's definitely an idea that has come up at the studio," he said. "And there are dozens and dozens and dozens of cool ideas. Part of the process of sustaining Destiny is figuring out what's the most bang for the buck, what's the right feedback to go after and address, how do we deliver the experiences that players want. And race is definitely one of the things that has come up as a topic, so we'll see. It's one of those shifty, no-promises answers."

Yeah thats the confusion here, the light cap has been increased to 32 with vendors selling light 30 gear.

Previously we weren't able to achieve light 30 without 2 raid gear pieces. Putting up light 31 gear exclusively with Iron Banner as it will cause an uproar from the PvE guys, Queen's Wrath seems like a viable
option but we haven't really gotten any hints for it so can't really write it down.

Lets see how it goes, there should a different way to achieve light 31 other than IB as its a timed event and requires tons of grinding!

Add a correction here...Tower Vendors will sell light 31 gear.

so launched game to see what this DLC is all about..once again the same type of bounties are serving as quests (melee kill 7 enemies quickly) given by a lame ass NPC..wow gg bungie talk about variety

 

[USUF]

My dark below (ass) is still stuck in office and drooling over the raid streams. I'll only be getting the chance to run through the story missions and maybe some crucible matches on the new maps tonight.

 

[EnergyDan]

Oh noezz! Looks like Im locked out of the heroic/nightfall strike. Now I have to dish out monnies on the "optional" dlc to partake in events that were once part of the game.

What a dick move, Bungie.. :no:

It's for this week only. You guys are getting a free bunch of new level armor and weapons and yet you're still complaining? :no:

 

[Fir3d3mon]

its sad that weekly strikes are not only locked behind the dlc but also require you to complete the story first..what if i dont want to play this shitty excuse of a story? (having completed 3 missions, that is what it feels like) why cant i run those strikes!!

 

[thegame]

This has to be THE best story mission in destiny!!!

[h=2]Destiny's new raid, Crota's End, has already been beaten[/h]


A team of Destiny players has already completed Crota's End, the new raid released today in the game's first expansion, developer Bungie confirmed on Twitter.

The Destiny clan known as Invigorate Gaming secured the honor of the first completion. Shortly after 10 a.m. ET — just over six hours after The Dark Below went live — a member of Invigorate Gaming tweeted a photo of the in-game emblem players receive upon finishing Crota's End, proving that the group had done it. Raids in Destiny are limited to a total of six players, but the completion screen showed seven, so it appears that one member of the squad had to be relieved shortly before Crota was defeated.


The seven-person team racked up a total of 6,116 kills and approximately 581 deaths during the raid for a kill/death ratio of 10.53, according to a screenshot tweeted by Bungie of the statistics screen at the end of the mission. The original group contained a level 30 Warlock, a level 29 Titan, a level 30 Titan, a level 29 Titan, a level 29 Hunter and a level 29 Warlock, with a level 30 Hunter coming in as the substitute.


It took Destiny players about 14 hours to finish the Vault of Glass, the raid included in the main Destiny game. Invigorate Gaming says in its Twitter bio that it was the first clan to finish the Vault of Glass on hard difficulty. Bungie will unlock hard mode on Crota's End in January.

[MENTION=24902]lowresolution[/MENTION] oh cha gaya cheetay! Level 29 say direct 31! Mission accomplished

The new story missions, all of them are way better than all the previous missions combined. I have yet to try the strikes. But first I will try and reach level 31 and beat VoG I need that FateBringer!

One thing which I don't like is that we don't have any way of upgrading our pre dlc obtained legendary gear. If you want a more powerful one buy that same weapon from the Tower Venders...why was this done? Seriously these decisions are ruining destiny for me. I will be compelled to put this game down as soon as some good games start rolling out. I am just only playing it due to a sheer lack of good games.

So having played the story missions, quests, new strike and matches on 2/3 new maps, I've to say the best thing I loved about this DLC is...the quests.

I honestly think more of such inventive and extensive quests need to be added to the game to promote patrolling. Each of the quests were fantastic to play since you were provided limited information as to what you're doing. You just know which place to go, and then figure out the rest yourself. Although most of it involved killing a bunch of guys, the sheer unpredictability of the fights was fun to tackle. When a bunch of Ultras spawn out of no where and throw 10 bajillion thralls at you, things get really explosive. The quest where you had to kill a thrall that was well hidden in the geometry was a nice little hidenseek game in the dark. The madness that ensued 10 seconds after that was amazing.

NEW VENDOR GEAR IS FANTASTIC. That's all I have to say here.

Story missions were disappointing in terms of new areas, but a huge step in the right direction in terms of structure. Playing a few areas backwards, with a completely different kind of threat that we're used to, did spice things up a notch but I was ultimately let down. I was seriously hoping for intricate new areas to explore. Structure wise, Bungie have gotten their shit together this time (though it doesn't take much to beat the abysmal missions of the base game lol).

I'll only let this one slide a bit since 3 months is too less of a time to gather and implement feedback. It's confirmed that Eris didn't even exist in concept when Destiny was launched. This character, her dialogues and voice acting have all been conceptualized and compiled in the last 3 months. Let's see if I'll be able to try the raid tonight. Going by some of the streams, this one's a lot tougher than VoG.

Ahh Yes ! level 29 was like a curse. So i wanted that to be lifted asap ! Plus having an Alt character / maxed cruicble /vanguard marks / ranking up almost all the factions were quite helpful. BTW where are you yaara these days ? have`nt seen you online ?
