The fact we managed Taniks part 1 with basically 4 people for most of the encounter, pro-gamers :pac:

It's not that hard of a raid once you understand what each role does as it's more or less the same thing in each encounter.

Sure I was AFK for the first half of the last encounter too :P

when you finsh the second actual encounter (multiple versions of the boss upstairs/downstairs), tell everyone in chat shut up, turn up your music, and enjoy the jumping puzzle bit. the music and voiceover are simply superb

I am trying to cross save my character from ps4 to xbox series x, I am playing the game on gamepass, when I go to cross save on the Bungie website, it asks me to buy the game.. Any ideas ?

Have you logged in on the Bungie site and linked your original PS4 account to it ?

Also you do have to buy the game for X unless you only playing the Free stuff, it allows you to move your save but you still need the licence on the new machine.

All the expansions are on Game Pass, which he states he has.

Couple of questions for you more seasoned players than I. Myself and 3 friends started playing this around Christmas and have been tipping away it casually enough (although still putting in a few hours 3 or 4 evenings a week). We've bought all the content but started with Forsaken and are working our way forward through the campaigns & quests. We're all in and around 1230 power and fancy having a crack at a raid but obviously only have 4 of us, and none of us have ever done one.
We set up a clan for the 4 of us, but I'm wondering now if that was a bit of a mistake - would we have been better off joining a larger clan so that we could potentially get in contact with people who'll sherpa us through the raid and make up the numbers?
I've done a fair bit of reading on all this but the clan thing I'm not sure on, and just wanted to see were there other options than posting on a discord/reddit LFG. Basic questions probably!

Edit: playing on pc

mossym · 27-01-2021 11:07am

@spiritcrusher

certainly going to be hard to raid if only 4 of you. you'll certainly need to grow it if you want to raid reguarly. I'm in a fairly active clan and we raid most weeks, but there are 50+ members and even now we sometimes struggle to get enough for a raid. that said i'm doing GoS tonight and 3X DSC friday night.

if you want, i'm on PC as well, have 30+ clears on both GOS and DSC, i'm happy to sherpa you guys through either one some night if you like, you would need to get a 6th, maybe someone else on here on PC would like to get their first raid done too.

If you're looking for a 6th on PC I'll happily fill in. I've only run GoS to near completion trying to get Divinity (we didn't have the DPS output for final boss).

I mainly use Hunter, but I'm leveling my Warlock atm if Well is needed.

spiritcrusher · 27-01-2021 11:24am

Great stuff! I may take both of you up on those offers. We were hoping to try a raid maybe this weekend coming but there's no real rush on us.
Am I right in thinking we're probably as well off abandoning our own little clan and joining a larger, more active one if we've any chance of getting regularly?

mossym · 27-01-2021 11:26am

you need 6 to raid, so either grow your own, or join a bigger. plus experience says you need a lot more than 6 to cover folk not being available on a given night etc.

i could raid sunday night or any night next week if you guys are available. talk to your mates and let me know what night works for you. probably need an 8pm start or the like, first run would be slow

Serbian · 01-02-2021 7:05pm

You don't have to be in a clan to arrange raids. I've been using Discord to arrange raids for the last couple of months. I found a pretty big community (~600 people) of mostly UK players who run sherpa sessions for all the various raids for Xbox and PC. I don't think I'd finished a raid before 6 months ago, now I've done them all and have the current raid title.

Best part for me vs other LFG sites is that they schedule events you can join, it's not a stream of people looking for someone to play the raid right now. Looks like this 👇

Anyways, if you want a link to the Discord, drop me a PM, or you can message the guy who runs it directly on Discord (Hambis1901#4644). I've no affiliation to the group, just a satisfied community member.

you see, i'd call that a clan:) there are some die hard clans out there who take it to the extreme, but what you described is how any of the recent clans i've been involved with operate. discord server, someone posts a dungeon/GMNF/raid at a certain time and people sign up. it's smaller though so you get to know most of the people you raid with, but in the past 3 weeks i've raided with 15 to 20 different players.

call it a clan or a community, it's all the same but the point is the open LFG groups are very hit and miss for raids,you are much better off in a group who keeps some semblance of quality control on the events organised.

saves you going into the normal LFG where they demand >20 clears, and say they will check, and when you get into the raid you find out they were only demanding that as none of them has ever cleared it and they need a sherpa. that has happened more than once

New season at reset, whos up for teaming up for the story part of it on PS?

Kimbot · 10-02-2021 9:14am

The new bow is a bit of craic, me and Taz ran it on a battleground last night and with 2/3 using it its insane

The battlegrounds are good for a bit of change too. Other than that there not too much to see about the new season.

Kimbot · 12-02-2021 11:43am

So I got the Rocket Launcher from the raid, gave it a bash in PVE last night and with the NERF it got its only OK. I want to bring it into one of the cabal battlegrounds and see how it is in there over the weekend.

mossym · 12-02-2021 11:53am

id wait, they have already said the nerf is unintentional, and they are treating as a bug. would leave any testing until they resolve

Vicxas · 12-02-2021 1:09pm

Raid run number 10: Still no Eyes.

The search continues!

mossym · 12-02-2021 1:43pm

two of the guys i run with regularly
one got it on run 35. one is on run 37 and still not got it. two of us have done most of those runs with them and had it drop several times.

you may have a long way to go yet

Tazzimus · 12-02-2021 1:47pm

I nabbed it on run 13 or 14, along with the Descendant title.
You'll either spend forever trying to get it or get multiple drops while everyone else gets nada.

Kimbot · 12-02-2021 4:29pm

I got it on my 3rd raid and I only jumped into that raid at atrakis cos they were 1 man short :pac:

Yakuza · 12-02-2021 7:50pm

Went into Presage solo last week with no idea what to do.

Most fun I have had in Destiny yet, rage quite at about 2am after 22 deaths.

5/5 Would recomend.

They really need to push that dark oppresive horror theme going forward, especially with The Witch Queen Expansion at end of year.

Tazzimus · 22-02-2021 12:42pm

Got some slight Dead Space vibes off it, was a great mission going in blind trying to figure out what to do and where to go.

Some good news in the State of Bungie released yesterday, they've sunset sunsetting and they're removing most of the power grind with the next season (Cap will only +10 instead of +50). They've postponed next expansion to next year but I'd happier take that with the direction they're going. Shameless rip from Reddit on a TLDR below:

There will be another expansion after lightfall

"Any weapon or armor that can currently be infused to max Power will continue to be able to reach max Power permanently" (Sunsetting got sunset)

"Starting in Season 14 we won’t be capping the infusion on any weapons or armor that have not already reached the cap as of the start of Season 13."

Since sunsetting isnt happening, stuff is gonna get nerfed

Power level only goes up 10 for each non expansion season

If you grind to max power in a season now, youll be in the pinnacle bound when the next season comes out

S15 will fix 3 peaking in PvP

Stasis nerfs (titan and hunter only at the moment) and Light subclass buffs over the next few seasons

Trials of Osiris is going to have its reward structure changed, w/ potential Solo playlist

VoG comes in Season 14, with a contest mode for the first 24 hours. To claim worlds first, you have to do the raid and a curated list of challenging Triumphs

VoG is getting a master difficulty, they would like all raids and dungeons in the future to get one

Adept raid/dungeon gear will drop from master difficulty raids/dungeons

Trasmog comes in season 14, with Ada-1 as the vendor

You need to do quests to receive mats to transmog a piece, or pay sliver for it.

Shaders are now permanent unlocks (thank goodness for this one)

Crossplay is coming in season 15

PC and console players will only be matched together in the crucible if PC players invite console players to play with them

Ikora is going to have a purpose in Witch Queen, and you will "see her" in s14

In S15, we get stasis legendary energy and power weapons

In S14, gilded titles will show how many times that title has been gilded in the past

to be honest, i don't think it will change much in the grind. it was a few days to get to the soft cap, and then there were a bunch of sources for pinnacles. the last time we had the +10 grind only we had far less pinnacle sources. i'd suspect when they make that change the extra +1 pinnacles that were added like 3xcrucible, strike, gambit, NF will all disappear and that 10 power grind will be even harder

it does sound though that getting that +10 increase won't be too important anyway, it feels like the gun balancing will be a far greater change

dreamers75 · 26-02-2021 1:19pm

Ah yeah scrap sunsetting when I have dismantled all my cool **** from the last 2 years.

Removal of level caps will only affect gear aquired in Season 10 and beyond. Anything before that will remain sunset.

So last night we got the following done:

7 man raid
8 man raid
11 man raid (Poor taniks got messed up)
12 man nightfall

The nightfall is a bit tricky with how the boss spawn is etc but dam it was so much fun running around with everyone in the NF (Highscore was a doddle :P), hoping now to get a few more done with large numbers just for the fun element

dreamers75 · 05-03-2021 2:18pm

So 12 man night falls, basically masterworked 3 characters and then some in one night.

Still low level tho.

100% they nerfed the double rewards only getting blues and the AR.

I was trying to play rise of Iron's campaign solo but it's impossible.
I got onto that effing fire axe boss and it's so annoying.
What I hate so much about this dlc is you can't save your progress so if you quit you have to start the level all over again.
That boss you have to kill with the axe is just impossible.
You're stuck with a poxy axe and he has a machine gun so if you get shot a few times with the machine gun it's instant death.
Then you have to start fighting him all over again and it takes ages to take any energy off him.
Then later there's two of him and all the other enemies you have to kill.
It's such an unfair and frustrating game to play single player.
So you've no way of pausing, no way of saving, if you die on a boss you're screwed I'll never buy an online game like this ever again I hate it so much.
It is bull fking ****.

Tazzimus · 15-03-2021 6:29pm

That's not the hardest fight in the world, just don't expect to stand in front of him for the entire thing.
That DLC wasn't exactly difficult unless you're massively under levelled.

I'm at level 40.
It's frustrating as hell.
You can basically jump up and down pounding hammer into the ground to find you've taken hardly any energy from him. Run away hide behind a wall, do this a million times then eventually get killed by gunfire within a split second and have to start all over again.
Then if you want to quit and go and do something when you come back you have to restart the entire level all over again.
It is just crap, total bloody crap.
So stupid.

I finished the main game and other dlc anyway so I think I've had enough of Destiny. I think Rise of Iron has killed it for me and I'll just delete it.
