Oh lads this place is a noob. Better work on it's light level.

EVERYTHING IS SHINY HERE!

Mitch Connor · 13-01-2016 8:44am

Can't believe you noobs still play this game. its all about Borderlands 2 now (again). And The Division in a couple of months!

gimli2112 · 13-01-2016 8:46am

woohoo made first page.

Josey Wales · 13-01-2016 9:25am

It will be weird seeing the first page of the Games forum without the Destiny thread on it. I think the Destiny thread has been there constantly since the game launched.

Oh I know I will - seriously, while I am playing a bit of Borderlands at the moment, if it wasn't for the fact I'm playing it with Destiny lads off here I wouldn't be doing that either.

I am looking forward to The Division - but again this is down to Destiny.

1. It has lessened my fear of this type of game (open world semi competitive shooter)
2. I am hoping a number of the Destiny lads on here get it and the community can play co-op in the Division - which will bridge time before/between/after whatever events or expansions Destiny offers - or its sequel which I assume will hit towards the end of this year.

Also, regardless of what other games I play - if there are Raid groups with the regulars on here, or Iron Banner 6 man teams chatting sh1t, I will come back to Destiny to play those too.

I reckon I will be playing a lot less Destiny over the next while than I have been, but I have been playing Destiny A LOT.

We don't have time to explain why we don't have time to explain, but boy, we could tell you a story, tell you of the Traveller, and all the other stuff.

wes · 13-01-2016 11:31am

I think things will be quiet at first, until we start seeing Destiny 2 info, either via leaks or an official announcement.

I haven't played much the last few weeks, due to all the various games that came out over Christmas, and still playing through them.

Also, don't see there being a big content drop until Destiny 2, and I am sure everyone will be back for that.

gimli2112 · 13-01-2016 11:48am

Was watching a youtuber this morning speculating there will be one event like SRL/Skolas and one Raid going to be released prior to D2. This was based on some data mining done last year which has been accurate so far.

I'll still be playing this until D2 but (probably) won't be getting up at 4 like before to do so. IB/SRL/the odd NF/some quests and just general messing around.

Don't worry, we haven't fully launched the forum yet - it will be visible as normal very soon. There's still a few bits and pieces we have to clean up first, such as finalising mod appointment, before we start properly pushing it out. So bear with us for another very short while - it's nearly there.

But how'd I know the Destiny crew would find it before you were meant to :P

Well we will have the Spring event next month apparently which seems will be called the dawning. Seeing as this event is supposed to be like Festival of the Lost for New Year it will probably kick off on Feb 10th, the first day of the Chinese New Year.

There are rumours going around that the Dawnbreaker exotic sparrow will be made available during this event.

Yeah, heard those rumors, but not sure if such events are worth playing for. There fun for a little while.

Hmmmm, now that might be worth playing for.

I don't think we will get a proper (for lack of a better word) content drop, with new area's, strikes, multiplayer maps and a raid, until Destiny 2. Now, I could completely wrong in that as well.

I think we might, i know there was information put out in the wild suggesting that there would only be small, event based drops this year but my understanding is that Deej backtracked on that a little bit and suggested there may be more content made available.

Although to counter that, i also understand that the game engine makes it difficult to implement change easily, and it appears to take a lot more planning than your other AAA titles to drop DLC, so it's probably hinging on whether they are working full tilt on D2 or if there are devs still working on D1.

If they upped the level for CE & VOG and added in a challenge mode into those - that would add in some more end game content variation.

Kimbot · 13-01-2016 12:48pm

I would love to see a raid that your pitted against Crota/Skolas/Oryx all in the one.

What i think they have said is that there is another event planned - and then some more substantial content. However they said the new content is 'bigger than anything since The Taken King'.

Considering Festival of the Lost and Sparrow Racing are the only content we have got since TTK released, that isn't a big bar to leap.

Can I make the suggestion that you allow us to vote (publicly or privately) for one of these positions to be filled from the ranks of the user base. This of course is only a suggestion but I think it would be that bit better for the forum to have someone we're familiar with as a mod.

The admins and cmods of course would have final say on this and it would have to be someone deemed worthy enough for the title.

I'd actually be happy if they gave proper rewards or even year 2 versions of year 1 exotics for doing crota and the vault of glass, it'd give people a bit more variety in terms of what raid to play anyway.

same for prison of elders, it kind of beggars belief that they're just left as they are.

It would actually make sense that they are making changes to POE etc since they just released the year 2 versions of the exotics. Maybe they adjust the difficulty up?

I'm afraid to say this isn't a goer for a couple of reasons. We've picked the three mods here (which is actually one more than we'd usually have for new forums) - say hi to Mickeroo, jonny24ie and Andrew76! - after plenty of consideration of a range of candidates. While they all are fans of the game and should hopefully be familiar names to a majority of regular Destiny posters and players, they all have different levels of engagement with the community which is vitally important to have a fair and balanced mod team

There's a huge amount of great Destiny posters from the megathreads, and we really hope they'll all help build this into a community which can keep active from here to Destiny 2 and beyond!

Just to note myself, Kiith and Retr0 are not dedicated mods of this forum - that we're listed is simply a quirk of the way the category is laid out.

Great way to run the challenge last night checkpoint from totems, after the 3 runs the drops started to stack up, though so many 310/320 artifacts now at least you can pick the one with the best rolls (if you can call grenade or melee giving you an orb a choice of roll! )

Just need to work on our character selection, we were nearly had a round of all hunters or a round of all titans

Tried doin the challenge last night and give up after about 40 minutes at the totems. A couple of times were deaths that were the players fault, but the vast majority were caused by the aura not transferring for some inexplicable reason.

Standing in the centre, literally right on the other guys shoulder and..... nope. no transfer for you. Was so annoying. Sooner bungie get back to work after their holidays the better. Crucible has been insane for a week or so.

Indeed, dead bodies every where, the worst lag Destiny has ever had, slow matchmaking and TLW and Thorn suddenly back to HoW levels of devastation.
