One new content from previous releases was the challenge system in Prison of Elders which captured your highest score of the week. Can someone please elaborate on how this works as I was reading the destiny news update and realised there's a following on there to High Scores that are recorded. Also, what type of loot do you get from this game mode?

So the new threat is SIVA, a self-replicating nanobot that seems to have taken over Fallen and have left a bunch of 'Splicers' around the Cosmodrome. I've been thinking how much the new threat is potentially linked to Rasputin due to its ability to take control of beings. Could it be Rasputin's evil twin brother that was designed to develop Rasputin's defense systems and has now been triggered by the Stranger? I'm just interested if any of you guys have any theories and potentially anything you'd like to see happen with the new content through quest lines, etc?

Destiny's upcoming Rise of Iron expansion will mark a return to the golden age of Guardian color coordination, Bungie game director Chris Barrett has confirmed. Class armor will no longer be immune to the color-altering effects of shaders once the expansion arrives on September 20. Once upon a time, equipping a shader in Destiny would change the color of all your non-gun equipment (except some wily Exotics) - i think its a nice little touch back into the game.

I want this in my life and "Lost To Light" is the daily heroic....I don't suppose there would be two of you about tonight (UK) who've completed the Black Spindle quest and would run it with me?. Would be handy to have for the noob raid!!

Resources: Kingsfall- DestinySherpa Oryx- Fight map Another reset, another week of collecting Moldering Shards. I added a poll this week so we can track what nights work best for everyone this time (I made it public, hopefully that means you can see who votes for what- if not I'll edit it). As always I am open for any night just as long as I give the misses a day notice. Let's clear this puppy, I know we can do it. Looking forward to another fun raid night with y'all.

Recommended light to launch is 310 (However people have cleared it starting with Teams 300-307, at least 310 for Oryx.) • To start the raid as leader you must have cleared Normal Mode on that character at least once. • All mobs Level 42 • Able to Revive? No --- Radiance? Yes • Calcified Fragments? None confirmed found yet. • Worlds First Completion: Clan - Forever LivE - 1 hour 17 min. Orb Dunking • Strategy: Unchanged • Loot (have only seen normal shared) Ships • Part 1 – No Checkpoint/Ledge • Part 2 – No Change Totems/Glyphs • Strategy: Same • Loot: 300 - 320 Warpreist • Strategy: Unchanged • Warepreist changes: each of the Obelisks contain a different power for the Warpriest when it de-spawns after Oculus. (Note: The Location Right, Left or Middle vs the effect May Be Random) ---- Right: Gives him the Taken captains blinding power. ---- Middle: 3x tracking bolts similar to Taken Hobgoblins ---- Left: Centurion Axion darts. • Loot: 300 - 320 Golgaroth • Strategy: (Same rotate bubbles or 1 Bubble) or whatever works • Notable Changes: ---- Puddles have shorter timers ---- Unstable Light -- De-buff – ---- When standing in puddle 1-2 random players - damages nearby players when timer hits 0. ---- Player who has De-Buff does not die but should Kill adds and move away from teammates! ---- ---- (Can be removed/extended by killing adds/thralls??) ---- Golgorath also has an extra ball to shoot if you're getting his gaze. • Loot: 300 - 320 Piston Puzzle • Unchanged Sisters/Daughters • Strategy: Unchanged • 1:00 timer starts immediately after first phase. • Loot: 300 - 320 Oryx • Strategy: Slightly Changed ---- Thralls, knights, dedicated runner, run counter-clockwise, and only 3 plates needed. ---- Extra knights spawn near platforms in opposite order from ogres (last ogre = 1st knight) and try to detonate bombs early (1 per bomb). ---- After first damage phase do running/circles, Shade of Oryx at 50%. 4 bombs still do ~25% damage. • Loot: 300 – 320 ---- Drops new emblem

I don't drink energy drinks and I didn't wanna buy something I wasn't going to drink. So I went on eBay, I don't buy anything except codes on there like this. I ended up getting 60 codes for $3.80.

I've seen a number of people in various threads asking for help with raids and I started thinking - why don't we start an organised raid school? If we had a simple structure where, if you're interested in raids, you start with the VoG on normal. Do that until you're really comfortable with it and can do all the strategies then move on to hard mode. Rinse and repeat with that then, CE normal, then CE hard If the guys like Stretch, Crispy, Techno, etc who are now trying to do VoG flawless can teach people like me Mazzer, Gary, etc the VoG normal so we're really good then we can take over teaching normal while learning hard and so on It would probably be a 2-3 hour session at a time so a regular Saturday or Sunday afternoon may be better and also wouldn't impinge on evening gaming sessions I've put my thoughts out on a UK basis for time zone reasons only but all would be welcome or possibly start another one on American time zones Any thoughts people?

Saw this from a link on Hectors PPR and thought it was pretty neat but can't work out how to show it as a complete image Need to get the Warlock raiding ASAP for gear drops! http://destinystatus.com/psn/PlumbersCrack56 Just approaching 400 hours played!!

Here's a chance for anyone who hasn't got the game or missed the beta release http://www.destinythegame.com/free-trial

What are your first impressions of Destiny? Personally I am really enjoying it. So much to learn though. It looks and feels amazing. Bungie makes a class act game. Everything is so fluid. I find myself stopping to look at scenery and surroundings. Cannot wait to get more into the game. My only complaint, if you want to call it a complaint, is the horizontal movement is a little sluggish. Other than that it feels great. Only did PvE with Tommy but I'm ready for more. I haven't felt like that in a while about a game.

So with this gaming coming out soon, who is pre-ordering and what console? I'm going to place my pre-order for the PS3. I have JollyGrnGiant (Matthew) who some may know of him, he is also getting it for PS3. So will there be anyone else getting it on PS3?

The Hunter is version of the Rogue or Thief. Their armour to cloth ratio is 50:50. They are specialists at stealth and long range fighting, but are just as leathal with their blade. They were once outlaws, prowling in the wilderness and wastelands. Now, bending the rules and being as 'resourceful' as they are comes in handy. Unique Features: The Hunter wields a combat knife for quiet, close-quarter kills. The Titan class is the walking tank. It is Bungie's Sci-Fi Warrior or Barbarian. They have a 80:20 armour to cloth ratio and specialize in heavy weapons as well as light machine guns. They were the ones who built the Wall and they were the ones who gave their lives to hold it during the Collapse of the Golden Age. They are forged from strength and sacrifice, being as merciless as their enemies. The Warlock is your classic Mage, but with a Bungie twist. They can use weapons as well as magic, making it so you can master both without being weaker that the other classes. They have a 20:80 armour cloth ratio. By studying the Traveler and learning to control some of its magical energies, the Warlocks came to be. While the true purpose of the Traveler and its abilities, including the ones granted to you, remain a mystery, discovering the truth has always driven you into the unknown. http://www.ign.com/wikis/destiny/Classes

The Thunderlord The Thunderlord is so dangerous a weapon that it poses an equal threat to the Guardian behind it as it does to the enemies that appear downrange. This heavy exotic is a foolish aberration, tinkered with in ways few can fully understand. The result of this meddlesome hubris is a beast you can barely control. Given the erratic nature of this augmented armament, it is decidedly rare. According to Art Lead Tom Doyle, the Thunderlord is a desperate measure on the part of a society that grew weary of being outgunned. “The ammunition is some kind of monster that they wouldn't normally use," Doyle warns. "The use of electro-static rounds over this amplitude has been prohibited due to their volatility.” Vital missions beg of some room to bend the rules. So far, Bungie devs have wielded this belt-fed menace on quests in Los Angeles and Cologne, Germany. On both occasions, it performed with explosive success. “Justin Hayward really brought the weapon to life with the lighting effects in the eleventh hour before E3,” recalls Doyle. “It is a great example of how vital effects are for exotic weapons in first person.” It’s also a great example of how to delight a crowd. A Guardian gains the right to add the Thunderlord to their inventory by proving that they’re worthy of its firepower. Once earned, it will have to be put to prudent use before its full potential can be realized. After all, you don’t just deploy explosive ammunition on the first date. Like many of the implements in your armory, this is a gun worthy of a long-term relationship. Disclaimer: Destiny is a work in progress!

- What does Destiny do that’s unique? What’s revolutionary that sets it apart? Destiny casts you in the role of the iconic hero, and sets you on an epic journey brimming with heart-pounding action within a living world filled with adventure. You’ll cross paths with other brave heroes on their own quests — story, cooperate, and competitive — and they’ll know exactly how powerful and awesome you are just by looking at the gear you’ve earned. - How many players can team up in Destiny? Our core cooperative nucleus is the Fireteam — a group of three Guardians bound together by blood (and netcode). But whether you’re going it alone, of linked up with a Fireteam, you can still encounter other Guardians as you tackle the larger challenges that you’ll find in public events. There’s no telling how many people you might have to work with to defeat the most dangerous enemies. Of course, other modes like competitive multiplayer, or Raids, will feature player counts well above three — but we’re not talking about those quite yet. Stay tuned! -How does joining a public event work? To join a public event, all you have to do is get within range, and open fire. No lobbies. No loading screens. The frontier is open, and filled with encounters you can join, or skip right past, on your way to something you’ve deemed momentarily more important. - Will there be PvP? Yup! We’re already thumping each other’s skulls in studio-wide playtests, battling other Guardians for glory, bragging rights, and rewards. All the gear you earn in competitive multiplayer can be taken into other modes, too (and vice versa)! -I like to play games solo often. How much can I do alone? Ah, the proverbial Lone Wolf. You can experience Destiny’s story as a party of one, assuming you’re that much of a badass. Destiny will never require you to team up with other people in campaign missions. You’ll see other players along the way, but you can choose to ignore them. That said, we think you’ll find that playing with other Guardians is quick, painless, and a ton of fun. It’s always your choice, though. ‏-How deep does the customization go? All the way down to your bones! Well, maybe not that far, but Destiny will be what you make of it. All of the weapons and gear you can earn in Destiny can be customized — some more than others, but the goal is to let every player tell a story through the gear and abilities they’ve earned and wear. You create a character, pick a class, gender, and race, and then you customize the way you look and fight by completing missions, defeating enemies, or maybe just by exploring the world. -How big is the world map? I’m really excited! Bigger than anything Bungie has ever built. We no longer have mission designers, but world designers, instead. They’re building places worth visiting, exploring, and reclaiming from your enemies. We’re excited, too! We can’t wait to see what you’ll do when you get in there. We’ll be watching! ‏-What kind of endgame things are you planning on implementing to keep this world alive after players have finished? We’re creating a world you’ll want to visit again and again, and it will evolve and change right alongside you. We’re going to fill it up with activities that we think will satisfy a lot of different types of players, or even the different moods you have. That might mean something really challenging on the cooperative front, like a Raid. It might mean that amazing, exotic Sniper Rifle that you’ve been drooling over for the last few months. It might even mean the new twist we’ve put on the as-of-yet-unrevealed game type that makes it feel new and different.

Wow...... Hopefully we'll learn more about a release date soon!
