now think of those of us that bought the 100euro version that comes with the first two dlc's :pac:

Are you guys in a clan? Having an active one makes all the difference.

Static M.e. · 08-12-2017 2:07pm

I popped into the PC Boards clan and it didn't seem to be active so I left. I've since joined another clan which is very active and full of banter but they play on the US servers so I've just found out I can't join their raid group... (\faceplant)

I'm looking for a Euro active Clan for the PC if anyone knows one?

Hail 2 Da Chimp · 08-12-2017 3:03pm

Static, have you tried LFG?

It's not ideal but you'll find a random raid group no problem, while you're looking for a new clan.

In the Blizzard launcher you can change your region.

I didn't about LFG at all...I'll google it now. Thank you.

Static M.e. · 08-12-2017 6:21pm

Thanks JasonS246, any idea if I can swap freely between regional servers? I thought it would make me start again..

@raze_them_all_ Thank you. I've PMed you details.

I don't want to lie to you and factually state that you won't have to start over again since I've never done it myself.

That being said;

I've been in many raids where players had to swap between the regions and they seemingly used the same character to do the raid. An educated guess is that the only thing that changes is the region and there is no loss or wipe of your characters.

Glebee · 02-01-2018 2:27pm

Been playing Destiny 2 a bit over the last few days. Left the Boards clan as it was dead. Whats the best way to join a new clan?

ChrisMcCauley · 03-01-2018 1:38pm

LFG used to be a good way to find , not sure what it's like now. My own clan used to be very busy but is much quieter now though we still have an active Discord server where we organise daily raids etc. If you are on PS4 then try applying here

https://www.bungie.net/en/ClanV2/Chat?groupid=1623493

We have another Clan for the same folks but on PC

https://www.bungie.net/en/ClanV2/Chat?groupid=2866236
That's quiet enough but we share the same Discord group as the other and we all organise other game events. The Division is getting a major dusting off at present.

raze_them_all_ · 03-01-2018 1:51pm

the problem is its boring, there is no content, orisis is a joke of dlc, 2 hours or so will clear the wehole thing, for 20e.

Its just so shallow

ChrisMcCauley · 03-01-2018 1:55pm

I think it's definitely worth €20. You can definitely do the main story in 2 hours or so but that doesn't include things like the Perfect Paradox quest or the new raid layer, or chasing Masterworks. Can't even get a decent bottle of wine in Dublin for less than €20 and that goes in well under 2 hours.

No way are you getting all the forge weapons, all the mercury armor or the raid lair done in 2 hours.

The base storyline is quickly done (and a little disappointing imo) but that is only part of what you are buying.

I know but its so boring, everyrthing the same, even the enemies are pretty much the same but with fancy new names, if im payiung 20e for sdomething I expect better

SolvableKnave · 03-01-2018 3:17pm

This $hite of the "Enemies are the same wah wah" gets boring real fast. These are the established races in the LORE of the universe that Destiny is set in. They may well add a new race in in the next big expansion, but to use the argument for why the game is bad just doesn't cut it with me. I haven't put nearly enough time into D2 as I have with D1, but the reason for that is NOT the fact that no new race is added every time there's a new DLC or Expansion. The issues with D2 are well known, Race numbers is NOT one of them. Hell, how often do games like WoW add new races? Not often. The pandas where the last one. Before, the new playable races where all part of the WoW lore (as are Pandas).

I think he was just using the enemies as an example to show that the game hasn't changed anything at all bar a little dress up of different elements of the game, sure the new raid lair is more of a jumping puzzle and you can't even do the final encounter without a frame drop on the harpies unless your on a pro. Pretty poor for 20euro to be fair.

JD1763 · 14-02-2018 5:12pm

Anyone still playing this on PC or is there a active PC clan. Got my hunter up to 304 solo but would like to do raids without having to rely on randomers.

Static M.e. · 14-02-2018 5:58pm

Hi JD,

I recently as yesterday jumped into a new clan as my current was inactive since Christmas. They are called the "The Oldest Ones" and a very new clan but worth checking out. I haven't actually gamed with them yet...

Nooby Nooby Doo

So Destiny 2 is €8 on Humble bundle (monthly) so been playing it the last few days, few questions

Is it best to dismantle weapons/armour or is there somewhere to sell them?
Can I buy weapons or collect only?
Can I upgrade weapons, I have an assault rifle I quite like (single shot) but all my other guns are way better than it but burst fire?
Whats the point of the skill tree if I can pick one item from it? I have 3 points and dont want any of the 1 skills available to me.

Answer 1: if you don't need the gear dismantle.
Answer 2: you can buy gear from the various locations except for exotics. They come from drops, engrams, milestones and xur. As soon as get an exotic it is added to your collection in the vault.
Answer 3: you van infuse higher gear into lower light gear but they have to be the same ie auto rifles can only be infused with another auto. If you're infusing armor they have to be of the same class.
Answer 4: I'll leave that to someone else.

dreamers75 · 27-05-2018 1:16am

Cheers starting to the hang of it now.

Level 12 and one gripe I have is matchmaking in the crucible and the ability of higher level players to bring the fcuking death star in? Is that normal? I guess with all the new PC players a lot of seal clubbing will go on but was level 6 in the crucible vs a higher level lad with the ****ing death star, he wiped our entire team with one blast. We were all under 10 and their team was 20+.

May was well throwing my weapon at him for all the damage it would do.

I get seal clubbers exist but assumed the game would match make me to players of a similar level.

No there's no matchmaking based on light level. If you're looking to boost xp quickly try public events. Best place to go until reset is Io.

dreamers75 · 30-05-2018 4:35pm

3 days in and chasing exotics now, few of us playing so going to attempt a raid at the weekend. Did some strikes someone put it on Heroic...did not end get very far.

This is a very good game, I can see the no content issue becoming a problem later....much later. We have the game 2 DLCs to play.

Mitch Connor · 05-06-2018 3:40pm

Interesting to see what is announced today.

New expansion 1 or more of 2 or more new modes?

Will we get a view of what the new weapon slots and randomisation means for Destiny in September?

I wonder are we going to, basically, lose all out guns? My assumption is that new slot dynamics and randomisation means our current gun designs could be just plain broken, but maybe bungie will have found a compromise solution - I know I am firmly bracing myself for all the guns and armor to be worthless in September and need a completely new grind - apart from the exotic weapons, as they are always a fixed roll anyway, though they might need some tuning based on weapon slots.

I also firmly believe Bungie NEED to give us either new subclasses or new atunements within the current subclasses - I'm annoyed DLC1 and 2 didn't bring new atunements (and new rolls for all the weapons) as in the lead up to D1 I ASSUMED that is why we were getting (a) fixed rolls and (b) seasons.

1hour 20 to go, and then I need to try listen in while working!

It's a got to be quite an expansive update. One of the UI designers is looking forward to showing off what the UI team has been working on for the last year.

I'm stumped on how the weapon slot changes are going to work, as the game was built around 2 primaries and a heavy. I'd like to think the new Mod system has some roll :rolleyes: to play in this.

On the story front, Myelin Games thinks that a story Mission on Titan hints at a possible future alliance between the Fallen and The City. The Fallen Captain in the mission "Enemy of my Enemy" is named Mithrax, The Forsaken. He was trying to get a methane reactor to hook a Servitor up to increase Glimmer production. The Fallen are also missing Elder Ciphers, which basically allow Captains and Kells to distribute Glimmer how they wish in specific ways. Those Elder Ciphers are all held by everyones favourite Fallen, Variks.

If the story DOES centre on an Alliance between The Fallen and The City, how would a playable Eliksni be received? With 3 new subclasses? Unlikely I know. An new subclass would be greatly received, new atunements less so, though I would like to see Bubble Bros make a return with a dedicated atunement.

With the Reef coming back, I'd like an expanded version of PoE.
The new game mode might be teased today, though they might leave the meat of that reveal until E3.

and these posts were supposed to be in the General thread... D'Oh.

PC players. Is it easy enough to do a raid (any) with a pick up group from LFG?

I still haven't completed a single raid yet...opps

Kiith · 17-07-2018 10:56am

Is there even a LFG option? I've been playing a bit more lately, but haven't even noticed it.

Leviathan and Eater Of Worlds would be fine with a PuG, so long as the majority of the PuG have cleared them.

Good communication is key to both. Knowing calls and making the correct calls. Just ensure you know the mechanics somewhat by watching some walkthrough vids on youtube. Once you are aware of the mechanics, it'll come together fairly quickly in practice.

We took someone through Leviathan for his first time on PS4 last week. Hadn't done any part but was aware of what the mechanics where. Took an hour and 45 mins. Gauntlet took more goes than the others. Baths done in one. He even went "Team Suck" for Calus. Pretty confident we could do it again with him and reduce the time by half hour.

Enjoy the experience.

Quite surprised how well this runs on PC!!

3570k,8gb ddr3 and a 1080 with no problems running pretty much ultra except anti whats it filtering @1440p. Locked to 60hz as 100hz wasnt as steady as id like. Runs buttery smooth even in intense action.

Main TV in the house went up in smoke so bought the forsaken legendary edition on cdkeys for €38 as i had no spare TV to play on PS4.

Givin some of the terrible console ports these days i have to give it to bungie,technically its an extremely good port!

It's looks fantastic on PC.

The PC version is not a port in the common sense of the word. Vicarious Visions built the PC version from the ground up IIRC, allowing them to correctly accommodate for certain PC centric tools which would be the norm in PC only titles, as they and Bungie knew, they needed the PC version to be buttery smooth on release, and not have PC tools tacked on to a console version on PC. They pretty much nailed it.

Yeah its very impressive indeed.

Especially the lighting/shadows,very atmospheric.

I'd imagine it's level capped but you can enter ie if you ain't too damage entering it you'd be underpowered

Kiith · 15-09-2018 10:34pm

You need to buy all the expansions from what i remember. They are reduced now though.

Tempted to give this another go, at least in a weeks time once i get paid and can buy the expansion. It's seems like it's been improved in most areas.

I played too much of this over the weekend.
I was a huge critic of the base games lack of endgame content but they have done a great job since then,so much to keep the player busy now.

All of them, unfortunately. Not sure what deals, if any, are out there at the moment, but there usually is a package containing all the DLC's.

Dcully · 19-09-2018 11:38am

I got the legendary edition on cd keys for €38 which includes all current DLC including forsaken.

Started to play this with friends yesterday, having a hell of a lot of fun and giving serious consideration to buying the Forsaken and additional stuff.
