    That's why I was thinking make iron banana 6v6 clash/control you wouldn't have to mess with regular pvp systems such as spawns, scoring, capture points etc.

    Would also make iron banana something a bit different that what's already there.

    I'd agree with this. Limited time events could be boosted by 6vs6 and scoring across general modes wouldn't need to be touched.

    Here it is. I wonder is the Ghost actually an Alexa device?

    It works by connecting to an Alexa device like an Echo or the Amazon shopping app on Android.

    I actually think saying it is down to a technical limitation is just a super salty b1tch.

    Want to calm down there a bit chief? It was an opinion, how was it salty or b1tchy?

    I understand from your other posts you love the PvP in D2, fine. But there's a reason it has fallen flat on the PC, it is completely unremarkable compared to 10s if not 100s of other PvP experiences out there (many of them F2P). The games that do tend to stand out are more tactical and/or of larger scale, incorporating larger teams. 5 min or so matches (it's what they feel like), with a small team jumping from type to type is game-noise to many of us. You make some fair points on how a smaller team helps make that kind of rotation work but the thing is it comes across as working within some major limitations to me, I can't see the sense of not having options for larger teams per mode if desired otherwise. Or maybe they really didn't think the PvP side through on all platforms.
    And no, that's not salt either, I play on consoles also.

    Is there a way to save gear load outs? (Like the way he asked for his crucible load out to be equipped)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,987 ✭✭✭OptimusTractor


    Imagine the thread that would be up if EA pulled a stunt like this.

    "Alexa any meaningful Destiny content in the works

    Alexa?......."

    Boom!!

    Not sure if you can do it on bungie.net, but the api allows it as you can do it in DIM so it should be possible to call it via Alexa.

    Rarely use the app tbh, it would be handy if they let ya save custom loads outs like COD does.

    Curse of osiris preload begins A WHOLE TWO HOURS before it goes live on Tuesday. Preload at 3pm, live at 5pm.

    Good one bungo.

    On ps4 you're gonna need 88gb of space for it too. LOL.

    44GB download. Might get it downloaded by Wednesday.

    Though it's a psn issue more than a bungee issue

    It has nothing to do with Bungie though? It's all PS and the way they make you have double the required space to download.

    Thats because Sony encrypt the download so it needs the same amount of space to install the decrypted files. Its an archaic carry over from the PS3.

    Nice map, looking at the source code - some poor fella had to put in all the co-ordinates.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭EoinHef


    Just had a look at the blog post,im hopeful.

    Does kinda look like a list of things they removed in D2 that were in D1 at the end though.

    What's the story with the D1 pvp comp?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,549 ✭✭✭jcd5971


    What's the story with the D1 pvp comp?


    I can't see it happening between people having to re-install D1 and the fallout from the boards split.

    It was hard to organise when D1 was going somewhat strong, and that was when everyone was actually talking to each other.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,277 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor

    Getting domed by two, TWO, cheating lag switching S O BS on private matches the other night out me off.

    "I blinked away". Yeah.... SUUUURE you did, damned lagger.

    I'd say getting e ough people to get it installed could be too tough. Might get enough just got some rotating 4v4 or 6vs6 though, for a laugh.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,987 ✭✭✭OptimusTractor

    Welll myself and dude ran our 1v1 Friday night.
    He won 3-0.
    But I had......fun.

    Dude uses an aimbot. Confirmed.

    This is some straight up BS right here.

    Just went flawless and the game isn't recognising it!

    Furious.

    Woke up early thinking I could get a jump on the DLC and preload. Been playing the Division and couldn't find the D2 disc. After several minutes searching with anger levels rising (couldn't even find the box) I remembered I bought the digital deluxe version.
    Anyway I couldn't pre-load so wasted my morning. Seems to be going live at 10am PST whatever that is in our hours.

    Isnt the DLC hitting at 5pm??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,409 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    yeah it's probably what 10am PST is. That would be 10am on the far side of the US so looks about right.


  • Registered Users Posts: 593 ✭✭✭cavemeister


    PST is 8 hours behind us.

    DLC is available to download up to 1 hour ahead of go live.. But have you seen the size requirements? I think PS4 is 44GB

    With upwards of 500k people trying to d/l in the same one hour window, I'd wait till tomorrow to download it.

    There will be salty forums later today for sure!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,409 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    The Division 1.8 patch goes live today more downloading on the PSN for me. What a wonderful time to be alive

    Download goes live 2 hours before hand. The download is actually only 6 or 8 gig. The 44GB is the total size of Destiny, and with the way Playstation handle downloads you need double the amount of the size required due to the download being encrypted and needing the extra space to decrypt and check that the install is correct without any errors. So while the line from Bungie is that PS needs 88GB space free, the actual download is only 6 or 8 GB IIRC
