Spent the last 4 hours failing the one with Riven, not sure how people think Spires of Stars is hard, our sherpa left just before the final part. I gave up.

Riven is easily cheesed, don't know why a sherpa would ever attempt a legit clear. A team in a titan bubble with 6 swords rinses her.

The final section after can be tricky if everyone doesn't know where to go to get back to the bottom of the vault.

Otherwise it wouldn't be a real completion and that's what a lot of people would be looking for. I'm not against cheesing, I've done my fair share but that was about grabbing gear and being efficient with my play time.

People who legitimately kill Riven are few and far between.

He left just as we needed to carry a heart? from the big dead monster around the stage. Didnt really pull that part off after a lot of tries.

CivilWAR07 · 27-07-2020 10:22am

Hey folks,

Myself and a few other Irish lads have a small PS4 clan that has been in existence for a few years.

We used to be a much bigger clan but slimmed down recently. Since then a few people became inactive so are looking to add 4 or 5 good quality active players in.

As a group we are on every night, very chill and do all levels of content and more importantly have great banter along the way.

All we are looking for is a few chill active players, +18 and who mic up and can communicate. We use the Clan app and there are no complications.

DM me for details :-)

Cheers for looking

Got Worldine Zero last night so think I am done on Mars now ( cba going for Crucible weapons in any DLC/season)

Moving onto The Black Armoury and it says I have 3/10 Legendary frames forged(for both weapons) but I have 7 according to light.gg
I need Pulse Rifle, Hand Cannon and something else, this could take time but I can addin other bounties from the other 23 people to complete other things.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/hzfi6o/here_are_your_cutoff_dates_for_completing_things/

Using this as a guide to complete as much as I can. They should remove the cap on things like 2 whatever Ada needs a week.

dreamers75 · 01-08-2020 11:28pm

Scourge of the Past :cool: ✔
Leviathan ✔
Crown of Sorrows ✔

Good weekend for me in the LFG

I kinda stumbled onto a PVE God like hunter build by accident.

Using seasonal mods and Trinity Ghoul with catalyst you can basically rain down lightening with every 2nd or 3rd shot.

Arc Class with Temptations Hook, Supercharged, Taking Fire, Lucent Blade I am basically Legolas and Thor combined.

Trinity Ghoul with the catalyst will give you the lighting perk after each kill instead of precision kill, which is much better now that you can actually kill a red bar in one shot.

Makes it a trash mob clearing monster.

dreamers75 · 12-08-2020 9:11am

This is like that time I had the Carbine in Division 2 before it was nerfed.

Trinity wasnt nerfed yesterday so another week of it.

Calhoun · 12-08-2020 6:22pm

Are they planning on nerfing it?

dreamers75 · 13-08-2020 9:54am

Doesnt everything get nerfed?

I miss that Carbine

Tazzimus · 13-08-2020 10:02am

I don't see a reason for it to be nerfed, it's not exactly OP.
It's good for clearing trash mobs and that's about it, similar to Graviton Lance or Sunshot.
Basically Stormtrance in a bow.

If you use Last temptation sword you can do massive damage after firing a sword blast. Kinda need a bit of distance between you and a yellow bar tho and be fast switching to the bow.

Finally finished the Armoury for Jotuun and Le Monarque, had the rare bounty from weeks ago complete but not claimed. I got the new quest part and turned in the rare bounty.....no obsidian crystal.....so all week doing daily Ada bounties to get it again. It was get Arc/Solar/Void kills in armoury that was easily done as I was doing forges for Legendaries.........got the new Rare Bounty....... Charge the Batteries .....I have to do 23 more Forges to complete it. FFS

Calvin · 06-09-2020 3:47pm

Looking to get back into Destiny 2 again! Played a lot of Destiny 1, a small bit of Destiny 2 but that was when it was on battle.net (PC).

Currently downloading on steam - any ideas where to start re: DLC, which are the ones worth buying and others that aren’t necessary? I’ll prob play through the campaign missions etc and go from there.. have had an itching the last few days remembering the fun I had with Destiny 1 raids, so hoping to get to do those again in Destiny 2.

Depends on what you played before.

A lot of content will be disappearing in November so there will be story stuff and activities that you won't be able to do anymore come November.

This has the list of stuff going away, so if you have access to it already that is where I would start. (anything listed as 'Moving to DCV')

https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/49454

In terms of stuff to buy - maybe Foresaken and Shadowkeep, especially if you want to play the Raid associated with them (Last Wish and Garden of Salvation) but I wouldn't bother with any of the seasonal stuff at this point, if you can even still buy them.

Nice one, thanks for the reply. Logged on today and apparently I already have a character, so grinded a few strikes and other things up to 1018 light. Will work through the dlc campaigns too and prob pick up foresaken first and maybe shadowkeep afterwards.

dreamers75 · 16-09-2020 8:50am

Completed 57 forges to get the final piece of the armour set.

Now have to do the daily one of each forges to complete the mission, I am doing them with unmodded low level armour and getting slaughtered. I feel bad for the 2 randomers who are carrying me tru these

Is that for Izanagis or for the emblem? I normally go in a whiter horde and guillotine it up.

dreamers75 · 17-09-2020 10:03am

Its for Forge Essence, I have to complete all the forges with the full armour set and 3 forge weapons equipped.

using Hand Cannon, Auto Rilfe and Hammerhead.

dreamers75 · 20-09-2020 12:24am

Seems I never finished Eater of Worlds, completed it there via the sherpa discord.

Its very buggy we wiped a few times for what seemed no apparent reason on the jumping part.

Probably the easiest raid I have done in terms of mechanics.

dreamers75 · 07-10-2020 3:46pm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxNYAtoKPo4

Exotic weapons:

Pulse - NO TIME TO EXPLAIN
Precision hits and hits against enemies affected by Stasis will return to the magazine. Stack this effect to summon a portal which will fire bullets from an alternate timeline of the weapon.
Sniper - CLOUDSTRIKE
Precision final blows will generate lightning bolts at the target location. Rapid precision shots will summon an entire storm at the point of impact.
Sword - THE LAMENT
A mortal blade, a stalwart shield. Block with The Lament to rev the blade, then shred through shielded enemies. At its peak, damaging an enemy will heal the wielder.
Grenade launcher - SALVATION’S GRIP
Redemption is within your grasp. Each fired projectile will create Stasis crystals that will freeze nearby targets. Charge to increase the amount of crystals created and the freeze radius.
Exotic armour:

Titan - ICEFALL MANTLE
Stand tall against the oncoming hordes with this reinforced armor that replaces the Titan’s Barricade with Overshield, absorbing damage from incoming fire.
Titan - PRECIOUS SCARS
Prove your strength, even when coming back from the brink. Upon revives, the Titan gains an Overshield aura that protects the wearer and nearby allies.

Hunter - MASK OF BAKRIS
Don the Mask to replace the Hunter’s Dodge ability with a longer range Shift ability that also temporarily cloaks the wearer during use.

Hunter - ARTHRYS’S EMBRACE
The Hunter’s weighted knife gains a second ricochet; rapid precision hits gain a damage bonus and can temporarily stagger enemies.

Warlock - DAWN CHORUS
Feel that sweet burn. The Warlock’s Daybreak projectiles deal extra damage and cause enemies to burn on contact. Gain melee energy each time a burn damages a target.

Warlock - NECROTIC GRIP
A deadly caress, compounded. Melee attacks corrupt enemies with increasing damage over time. Defeating a corrupted combatant spreads the corruption to nearby targets and restores melee energy.

No Time To Explain - Available with Beyond Light + Season, Digital Deluxe, and Collector's Edition during Season 12. All players with Beyond Light can acquire it after Season 12.

cavemeister · 09-11-2020 7:29pm

Beyond Light is the first DLC I have not pre purchased. Since I first bought D1 back in year 1. The last 5 months of D2 has been so boring with recycled content continuously being rolled out as "new content" - This time I will wait a month, read the reviews and then decide.

Daraa · 10-11-2020 6:53pm

I got beyond light, wont get the season pass as I was fairly disappointed last year.

Anyway. It launched 53 mins ago and still cant get in. Not sure why i'm surprised.

ktulu123 · 10-11-2020 6:57pm

Still not in here

dreamers75 · 12-11-2020 3:55pm

I am enjoying it, completed the main part of the campaign last night and it opened up a load of after missions. Annoyed certain events came back, was hoping for more newer ones, glimmer and vex contruct

Europa is stunning, nice to see skulls besides the enemies names, make you work for it.

The Strike is probably the best of the lot, that could be me seriously sick of the old ones and just liking anything new. It should be very interesting in Nightfall.

I see the internet is upset with the lack of content for €40 and the removal of content. I cant really decide anything until we see how the season plays out with the Hunt.

I don't see the season changing people's perspectives on the actual expansion itself. The season is an additional purchase, IMO we shouldn't need to wait for additional paid content to feel justified in paying 40 quid for the base expansion. The expansion itself should justify spending that 40 based on it's own merits.

For me the biggest issue is the complete disregard of the core activity playlists with this expansion. With the amount of content being vaulted, the fact that they haven't plugged that gap with any new maps, strikes (apart from one new one) etc. is a bit of a joke. Taking that into account along with the fact bare minimum of effort was made in updating the loot pool and this is legitimately the first time I've felt like I haven't got my moneys worth out of a big year beginning expansion, and I say that as someone who is one of the more casual Destiny players, and therefore quite easily pleased when it comes to content releases.

gimli2112 · 13-11-2020 3:17pm

I haven't been on in months, first serious break since Destiny itself released. By far my most played ever game. I'm still on the fence over getting this just now.

Tazzimus · 13-11-2020 3:27pm

I'm enjoying it so far, making my way through the post story missions now, which are a bit of fun.
Also nice not being overpowered for everything again, even if the power grind gets a bit old. Hit 1200 yesterday so back into decent legendary gear, instead of the mismatch of blue stuff.

I'd say a chunk of the people whinging about no content are the ones power levelling like ****.
I'm doing a reasonable amount, not dawdling either, and am on about level 12 on the season pass. I've seen lads up in the high 50's already, basically no life-ing the game and then likely giving out that there's zero content.
It's not as abundant with content as Forsaken, so far, but they said it wouldn't be as big.
I also haven't really noticed the weapons thing much as clearly I didn't use most of them anyway.

dreamers75 · 13-11-2020 3:52pm

Hit 1200 on my 1st character last night and level 13 on season pass, others i playing with on their 3rd characters @1200 and whinging about content.

These are the same lads who abused Widows Walk and are now abusing the other glitch on the moon to the same effect.

I enjoy going into Lost sectors and story missions when the dudes have skulls beside their names.

I have a week to get 3 characters close to 1230 for the raid thats plenty of time, the sabotage hunts(after the story) are very good tho.

wes · 13-11-2020 4:20pm

I have been playing on the Series X on game pass, and while it doesn't have the enhancements for it yet, the ssd on its own is a huge improvement. Stuff loads as fast the PC now.

It'll be interesting when they release the PS5/Series X upgrades and see how much it improves it.

Load times have been improved on the one and one x as well. Axing a ton of the game significantly reduced the install size for the game which helps seek time for assets.

wes · 14-11-2020 4:34pm

I did try the PS4 and the loading seemed the same, but that may have been due to getting use to the Series X fast loading.

It's a lot quicker on PS4, it doesn't take minutes from the Title Screen to character selection any more. I've also only gotten stuck at a transition point once since BL launched, and even then it was only a second or two.

I've used the cross save to play it on the series x as well and it's nice alright, the update December 8th will be great for it.

chunkydave · 15-11-2020 3:29pm

Getting back into D2 for the first time in over a year. Does anyone play on PC?

EoinHef · 19-11-2020 6:11pm

Have to say having looked at the reviews today I mostly agree with the sentiment online.

The expansions have been uninspired since Forsaken imo and the seasons even worse. The whole thing reeks of bungie doing the bare minimum to make cash to cover what they spent buying themselves out from activision.

I'm glad they got a bit of a trashing,hopefully it will inspire them to do better.

Beyond Light will be a sale purchase for me if at all.

dreamers75 · 19-11-2020 11:40pm

Wouldnt listen to the fanatics Eoinhef, play it and make your own mind up.

The way i look at it is, Destiny 2 is a very very good game, Beyond light adds more to it and takes some stuff away but like ED its actual gameplay (shooting and killing) is very good.

For €70 DLC + season pass do I think I got my moneys worth now, probably no ( i equate euros to cash so 1 hour =1€ if I go above the price I got my monies worth) Will I get my monies worth probably yes.

As with ED and any other "live" game I find Destiny 2 players are as bad as everyone else, which is summed up perfectly in this image.

Simply stop playing and move onto something else.

EoinHef · 20-11-2020 5:19pm

I agree destiny is one of the slickest feeling shooters on the market but that only gets you so far.

The content has to be there to warrant continued play,I find the content the last year at least pretty lack lustre.

Mostly playing warframe for a shooter fix atm.

I do find it disappointing as destiny has been my go to daily game for years now.

This is the first content I havent pre ordered since before the Taken King in D1 but I'm not going to spend €40 for the sake of it.

If im spending that much i want to be enthused to play the game.

Stone Deaf 4evr · 23-11-2020 6:05pm

I dunno, I'm really enjoying beyond light.
i checked out pretty much immediately after the story missions on forsaken, as I felt it was just a grind fest.
I've a fair bit of time put in now, and still finding lots to do, between upgrading my subclass, more exotic quests and missions that unlocked after the raid was beaten, as well as the new hunts. If you've game pass ultimate, its free on xbox, so no reason not to check it out tbh.

macuilic · 24-11-2020 12:24pm

Hi all, jumping back into Destiny 2 after 2 years. Is there a Boards clan I can join. I play on PC.

Thanks in advance lads!

yeah i'd agree with that, feels like a LOT more to do than shadowkeep, to the point i'm way behind on some stuff, as i focused on hitting 1230 to get raid ready, raid was a lot of fun with contest modifier, didn't get it done, stuck at the same part as most others, but we'll knck it out this week.

and certainly not seeing negative reviews online, most anyone i'd actually value their opinion is pretty positive.

i would say it's a huge addtion, all the wailing about removing content people owned, well given the size of what they have added it was unfounded, and they've already set out on a steady drip of new stuff to do since it launched, i think it looks pretty good for the next few months

Tazzimus · 24-11-2020 1:35pm

Everyone was giving out week one that there was nothing to do after the story, when most things hadn't even been released yet. The raid wasn't even live at that point..

There's more than enough to keep me going, with all the things you need to do for Variks and Crow, along with the exotic quests, Darkness quests for Elsie etc.

ktulu123 · 24-11-2020 2:23pm

Really enjoying Beyond Light, I never buy into negativity in the destiny community. The only mistake I think bungie have made is sunsetting the gear from Forsaken and Shadowkeep. The loot pool in the game does feel a tad small. But they have already addressed that somewhat

A load of stuff opening up after the raid again was class. If you have not got it yet, get Lament. It's unreal, melts champions
