Destiny General Discussion Thread

They are doing their best to oust EA as the most despicable games company.

Let's not get hasty here people, nobody is that bad.

So - Trials isn't cancelled this weekend, so have fun going up against Promethius Lens or whatever it is called. Not that I play much of Trials anyway, but I'll certainly be avoiding it this weekend. (Out tonight and trying the Raid Lair tomorrow night so no big deal regardless, for me, this weekend) Fix for it is coming on Tuesday with the next round of updates.

Said they are working on a fix for vanilla players being locked out of achievements - but gave no hint of a timeline for that being fixed.

Nowt else of much interest in the TWAB, no discussion or acknowledgement of the gameplay/content issues people have.

Got my first of the Forge weapons last night - got the Scout Rifle, looks pretty cool. Grinding for those mats is a pain, but better than the ol' Exotic Sword quest stuff!

Am I the only person who liked the expansion?
The Infinite Forest is a bit meh, but everything else was pretty cool.

The level design was something else, I spent a lot of time just exploring, looking around.

Don't know how they are going to fix the Trophies situation without scaling back on the power level requirements, or adding a third power level version of the Raid / Lair / NF.

I'm enjoying the mat gathering as it's all public events so far (though only have 4 of the mats). It certainly is a step up from the sword quests we had.

why don't they just throw up a hotfix that stops you being able to take that weapon into PvP? or just take it back off everyone and when they fix it give it back to the players that had it.

Their so stupidly slow at fixing problems.

I'd say it's not as easy as just removing the gun from people's inventory or preventing it being chosen in Crucible. The easiest solution was to turn Trials off this weekend, not like they haven't done it before.

It's a little bare after the story, but so far I'm enjoying it. As usual, the visual department have done a stellar job. Infinite Forrest could have been so much better, but I'd hope they build on it later. Watched a Datto vid yesterday and he says that the I.F. seems to be a tech demo in a way, Bungo seeing if they could actually pull off the "Randomness" of the Forrest pathways themselves, and I kinda agree with him.

Myself and wondaboy went into crucible last night and man that prometheus lens is death incarnate some lad took out 3 of us on his own at one point it's mad.

I think it's a joke it got out the way it is.
I 100% will use it if I got it though :-)

I think I paid for both DLC's but was pretty happy with it.

I think it's important to note the upcoming QOL changes next week will make a big impact too.

I've not really been melted by Promethius Lens - so I'm not salty about that.

Played a few games of PvP last night and man is that gun broken. How it wasn't picked up in play testing is beyond me. Of course, it wont drop for me until after it has been nerfed (same happened to me with the vex, suros & grasp in D1).

I am happy enough with the DLC, the story wasn't the best and was short but it added some re-playability - although I can see why others would be disappointed. The art is fairly cool especially Mercury past. Glad to see heroic strikes back although modifiers would be nice. Heroic adventures are tough enough solo (probably will be ok once LL goes up) - just missed out on the timer but still got the milestone.
Those D1 exotics must have been stored in a off-site bunker when the Red legion showed up to say that they keep re-appearing.

Does anyone know how to activate the forge at the lighthouse? I have finished the campaign but there is no way to activate it.

Cheers

You need to run the 3 normal Adventures and then one Heroic Adventure. They are all under a Milestone so that needs to be finished off first before you get your first Forge collectable box thing. You'll have to talk to Vance again to kick things off.

Bring friends for the heroic adventure, otherwise it will be a slog and a half.

Story was paper thin IMO, Osiris is still hugely unknown to me.

There's more time limits? Have yet to log on since the DLC downloaded, now I'm not sure I will, any time soon.

I call it the Scrub Melter :pac:
Actually now that I think of it, there was always someone on my team carrying it - which is why I'm not salty about it.

Story was pretty good, there definitely needs to be at least 2 times the amount of cut scenes. Most of the cut scenes are great, the design was fantastic, they need to show it off a bit more.

I played it over 3 nights, and really took my time to appreciate the level design, so I'm slightly skewed on the length of the story...

I will say the Cabal were completely shoe-horned into the story. It was like someone said, "oh **** - get some Cabal in there quickly!"

Xur has Prometheus Lens, lol

Just played a game, it's beyond hilarious

Trials of Prometheus this weekend.

God I'm glad I got that achievement already.
