How to Join the Boards.ie Destiny Clan(s)

Boards.ie Destiny Clan is for players 16 years old and up (not a decision made lightly)

X-Box 1: http://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Detail/118535
PS4: http://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Detail/658545

There is a 2nd clan due to the 1st clan hitting the 100 Playstation Players Max

Step 1:
Go to the relevant clan and join the group (this does not require approval and happens instantly)

Step 2:
Go to the “Groups” section again and click on the group you have just joined and click "Set as PS Clan" or “Set as X-Box Clan", this will then be approved by an Admin.
Once that is done you will notice your Emblem/Banner in-game will have the relevant Clan Tag (1 or 2).

Step 3:
PS4 Players Only:
At this point message GenericDreadHead on PSN saying you’re awaiting approval to the clan and he will add you to the PS4 chat room (large PSN messaging groups for scheduling raids/strikes/pvp etc)
X-Box One Players:
Please post within this thread with your Gamer Tag and Guardian level and say what you’re interested in playing.
Several of the other X-Box players will add to their friends list and it usually snowballs from there.
Alternatively You can find a full list of your clan mates Gamer Tags in the clan by navigating to the "X-Box Clan" (it will only show 10 members per page btw)

That weekly/nightfall seems to be every other week at this stage.

One of the lads I was playing through it with earlier sumed it up by saying something along the lines of it's a good nightfall but it's on so often I'm starting hate it.

Josey Wales

Just starting the Nightfall now if anyone wants to join.

Destiny 2 will probably be a good game.

Going to take a positive spin on that post.

No doubt. It will have the groundwork done on this first game and can concentrate on improvements. Plus hopefully it won't be a cross-gen game. The gun play is already perfection.

But looking forward to more DLC before thinking about Destiny 2.

Kirby

Well as you say the groundwork is done so they can concentrate on making sure there is enough content there.

The engine is a good achievement in my opinion but they failed at world building. It doesn't feel like a Universe. It feels like a bunch of levels stuck together.

We've had the Omnigul strike for weeklys a good few times now, but why aren't Bungie using the Undying mind strike for weeklys? I wasnt even aware of its existence until last week when I just casually noticed it on the map, unplayed.


Totted up my hours spent on this game, 249 hours split between my three characters and still more DLC to come.


What am I doing with myself?

It can't be a weekly or nightfall because its a PlayStation exclusive. Same as Dust Palace.

Kirby

That exclusivity nonsense needs to end.

You just reminded me that I haven't played that strike either.

Would be great if Destiny increased vault slots...or player-player trading

Player - Player trading is NEVER gonna happen! Vault increasing might be a possibility all the same.

Its not great. A rehashed area, swarms of Vex without any kind of interesting pattern or layout, and then a rehashed boss in a different color. Very lazy strike.

The Nightfall was surprisingly easy. 2 x Abyss Defiants made short work of everything. A Hunger of Crota / Ghallehorn combo for Omnigol and that was it. Awful rewards though. From eight drops we had: two energies, 1 coins, ruin wings (which we already had) and the rest legendary guns. Best of which was a second Chance for me and only 'cos it has better perks (return to sender and last shot).

Used the Black Hammer on the earth strike last night. Haven't even put any radiants into it but now understand why it's called a boss killer.

Really need more space in the vault urgently. It's taking ages to swap between characters. Friend deleted the Truth and his Monte Carlo to make room yesterday.

Benzino

Since somebody posted about the Blessing of the Gift emblem last week, I decided I would try it out. Since I've gotten the universal remote, vex and Ghorn (along with crota's fusion and scout rifle). Probably nothing, but I'm not changing it haha.

littlemac1980

Thanks Gtroni and the rest of the group for putting up with my tag along last night on CE got some nice armor (Unyielding Casque and Tireless Striders) + the Abyss Defiant and a nice amount of shards and energy. It was good craic too!

The Undying Mind is probably my favourite strike at the moment. Chaining supers with two others up the staircase and at the boss is immensely satisfying

Doctor DooM

I love undying mind too. Love fighting up the stair case.

While I enjoy Destiny, and it's really been the forefront of my co-op multiplayer experience, I still wish there was some form of story to it....

I have to agree, that staircase section is brilliant. Snipers up high, Praetorians storming down the stairs, and the Hydra bombing you? And having to man the two side steps at the bottom.

A fan comic on penny arcade based on Destiny. Bungie should hire whoever did this cos they have crammed more character into a one page comic than Bungie managed in a full game.

I taught it was Gabe and Tycho who did that.

Its pretty funny, that in the one page, they managed to put in more story, then the entirety of the game. Bungie really dropped the ball on the story, and imho the criticism is well deserved.

Genuinely don't know how you'd kill the final bosses. Three of you camp at the top left, defending stairs from maurauding mobs, while trying to take out the armoured psions with launchers/snipers all the while avoiding the ever spawning ship that can one hit kill you?

Think that's why it would be a good nightfall, the rest are to easy

It would be a nightmare. Even running it on one of the strike playlists is pretty damn hard. It would be insane :eek: as a nightfall.

Platform exclusive content for a multi platform game when players all pay the same amount sucks massive donkey balls :mad:

What is a gul anyway and why does she have all of them?

Hello fresh new thread!!

I completed the Nightfall twice last night. I got the Trolley Problem (already owned) and Hard Light! Whooop!! My friend finally got her first exotic weapon, Thunderlord. The excitement was palpable!! The other guy we were playing with was a little unfortunate and only got Ascendant Shards and then a legendary hand cannon. RNG eh? It's just not fair sometimes!!

Just wondering is it possible to get drops from NF more than once in the one week?

No, unfortunately not. You can only get drops once a week per character. I ran it with 2 different characters.

Once per character. Otherwise we'd all be knee deep in exotics or more likely shards n energies.
I usually do 5-10 Nightfalls a week depending on what people need. It's horrible when someone has the JuJu bounty.:P

Gul: Gul is an officer rank title which is approximately equivalent to a ship's captain. Gul is a command officer rank. Guls hold command ranging in size from vessels to Orders (approx. 500,000 personnel).

So, Omnigul is a Captain of Captains. :cool:

So doing a bit of reading in work and I came across this crota strategy for always having super when attacking him...

Basically at the very start before you stand on the summoning crystal everyone goes out and pops their super where crota will be when you attack (works best with 5 defender titans) you just keep popping supers and gathering orbs and then move to the second spot and do the same, this means when the sword bearer comes to hit crota there will be plenty of orbs where he is standing And this will charge his super attack every time he goes to hit the big ass!

Would work with our strategy we used last night generic

This is ImANoob by the way

There's no reason NOT to do this I guess.
And I'm all for anything we can strategically do with no risk *cough cough supers for the Thrallway next time cough cough*

Obsidian mind and Nova Bomb split into 3 worked wonders for me yesterday. I just waited till there were a lot of thralls chasing us, and Nova Bombed them, and the super was instantly recharged.

Will be interesting to try it with Bad Juju, as I have done the 25 strikes part.

that was me I think..I swapped it out for the Eris emblem but must get it back on asap.
As for the weekly strike it's pretty easy with a hunter with invisiblilty perks to solo it. Must give it a blast on nightfall later on..

Load of people swear by that one and the belssig of the sentinel one as well!

littlemac1980

I currently have 53 motes of light.

Anyone any idea what I should do with these.

I think I remember from my last encounter with Xur that I might be able to get Exotic Engrams from him.

If so, should I do this or is there somewhere else worthwhile to spend them?

gimli2112

Xur sells legendary engrams every now and then for motes of light. Iron Banner uses them for purchasing the XP Buff and re-rolling weapons.
