I'd argue that given the amount trying to log in the train reached its destination in record time.

I think this would be an accurate depiction of the Destiny Hype Train right now.

Well, stuck in the office today, so not so bad for me. Still must be a pain for the people who took time off to play. Its a pretty bad screw up to be fair.

AdamD · 20-09-2016 11:45am

This is normal for online games though. That's why if you're gonna do it you take the second day off

runawaybishop · 20-09-2016 11:46am

Log in queue disappearing fast, logging in 30k a minute or so. I am in now.

It really shouldn't be. Don't get me wrong, the problem there trying to solve is a bloody hard one, and I am sure the guys they have working on this will learn from it, but I think the gaming industry needs to do better.

Generic Dreadhead · 20-09-2016 12:45pm

I'll take 2 hours downtime over the clusterf**k that was GTA Online anyhow. Disappointing that it happened, but look, 2 hours, not the end of the world. Seems to have been actioned fairly quickly tbh

gimli2112 · 20-09-2016 1:17pm

Hopscotch Pilgram is now a drop in crucible? I know they've murdered that archetype but I loved that gun in crucible for a while.

Wing126 · 20-09-2016 3:15pm

This was a frustrating hour of my life. Damn SIVA cores... :rolleyes:

Glad I made it up without a guide though! :cool:

I've turned off notifications. I'm not looking at PSN chat or turning notifications on again until I've finished the story on all 3 chars.

PetKing · 20-09-2016 7:36pm

Vendor weapons!! Discuss who I should throw my money at! Things grabbing my eye include the crucible sniper and hand cannon, and new monarchy's auto rifle. Have yet to check FWC and DO.

Dead Orbit Shotty is excellent
Crucible Handcannon is meant to be good (I haven't gotten it yet)

PetKing · 21-09-2016 9:38am

Is the PlayStation app as good as useless for everyone else? The group chat was the only thing I logged on to it for, which is inaccessible and never loads.

The update did slow it down a little bit yeah (Didn't think that was possible), but seems to be okay? now. I no longer have to scroll from the top of the chat every time someones posts something, which is nice.

I uninstalled the PS apps and completely started from scratch, seemed to do the business for me, not spectacular but operational, on Android.

My Titan used so much Armour Of Light and Immobius in some of these missions, hilarity.

No, the new one is Last-Ditch 001

Pros - Very high range and max range. Can still hit the range cap using Hand Loaded and Hammer Forged with Aggressive Ballistics.
Neutral - Average mag size.
Cons - Below average reload speed. Very low aim assist and equip speed.
Rate of Fire: 8
Impact: 67 (22 damage per pellet, 264 damage total)
Range: 23
Max Range: 32
Reload Speed: 29
Mag Size: 5
Aim Assist: 29
Equip Speed: 29
Recommended Perks:
Column 1 - CQB Ballistics
Column 2 - Quickdraw
Column 3 - Hammer Forged
Column 4 - Rangefinder
The Matador class of very high-impact shotguns was on a short hiatus during year two, but they're making their return felt with the Dead Orbit Last-Ditch 001. With a tremendously high base range of 23, this gun is capable of killing Guardians with a single blast at distances other shotguns can only dream of. The vendor version isn't perfect, as it lacks a good barrel perk, but Quickdraw, Hammer Forged, and Rangefinder make a deadly combination.

Nothing seems to be decrypting above 331 for me. Aren't blues supposed to go to 340?

Blue engrams decrypt upto 340, but will only decrypt 3-5 above your current LL at most of which there is now only a 50% of it giving a higher LL at all.

I'm 335 light and they're decrypting up to 340.

gimli2112 · 22-09-2016 8:56am

I've really just being doing bounties and ranking up factions etc. Getting 340-343 gear at present. Just realised I could have bought 350 stuff from the vendors/factions for marks. I'm such an idiot.
Back to farming for marks. So want the Dead Orbit shotgun. The FWC stuff has very good rolls and the FWC scout is the hung jury in disguise. Vanguard guy is selling a unique archetype scout (mini Mida)

PetKing · 22-09-2016 9:00am

I said it to the lads last night, I kind of roamed about the place aimlessly buying this or that. Decrypted a tonne of exotics far too hastily. Read some SGA on levelling sensibly on Reddit and had major remorse. It's killing me to do it, but the strikes are helping me level up now. Reaching 350 in all slots os my goal. The 340 loot pinata is wrecking my head.

Edit: Ran my second character through the story in about an hour. Going to run my final one tonight, hoping to break that record!

had hoped to run the story through on hard, but it seems that character has to play them once on normal first before heroic is an option.

Hail 2 Da Chimp · 22-09-2016 9:26am

Any good guides on what to spend my hard earned Marks on?

To be honest, all the vendor (Warlock) gear looks muck. I really don't like the pointed birdlike helmet and that's all they sell now

The vendors and I think the speaker sell 350 ghosts and class items. You can trade in a legendary class engram for a class item once the Iron temple unlocks for you - so maybe do that first.
The DO shotgun and the crucible QM hand cannon seem to be top of the vendor pile at the moment.

I spent the marks on a Ghost. Get that Dinklebot imposter leveled up first. The rest will fall in to place

I got the shotgun from a rank package, and the rolls are rank.

Just found this thread on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/53nhin/tower_vendor_rolls_thread/

People saying the Crucible hand cannon is good, that's news to me

I'd really like to get a good H.C. but my heart has been broken too many times

Eyasluna archetype and near god roll, good hc.

The Crucible sniper is also fantastic, high impact sniper with shortgaze and hidden hand.

The Reddit guide I read on increasing your LL touched on this. They recommended buying the ghost, and getting the class item. Spend marks on armour as it's cheaper. Choose weapons from rank up packages to fill in the blanks. This part is a pain... Save all the blues for the weakest armour part on weakest character, eg: hunter arms are 341. Decrypt the blue arms first, and check do they up the LL. Equip and continue decrypting on next lowest piece.

Problem there is Blues don't go beyond 340.

Yup, up to 365 from what the bungie app says i think

Got the Khvostov yesterday. Nice gun, and a great mission to get the last bit. Will be working on getting the Gally next. I got all the medallions for it. Need to do the mission next.

Does anyone know what atunement is for getting the artifact from the ROI cryptarch?

Yes in strikes. My hunter went from 335 to 348 yesterday in about 5/6 hours. Heroic strikes are challenging, but for the blues alone, are worth it. Salty was wearing some 365 (the circle is complete!) blue boots at one stage yesterday during his lightning level ups.

I think it's the mission from Shiro for acts of Valour (?), Just kill stuff in the plague lands. You go to Tyra and the atunement is lighting of the corresponding iron lords fire pit.

What's the recommended LL for the Raid?
