These dudes are such dickheads. Fifa & Madden blind packs made them $1.1 BILLION last year (50% of their live service revenue) and accounted for 21% of their total revenue so of course they need to bullshit the public on this. Guys, robbing a bank is not a crime, it's just a surprise withdrawal. 🤣

I was aimlessly looking into my screen for multiple nights here, thinking my life isn't in the most 'ideal' position. And then I looked at 2 things: 1) all the messages i've been recently being talking with and 2) my very first Private Message on here. Firstly, I really enjoy keeping in touch with you all, either on here or whatever way we possibly can. I think when things are difficult or different in your life its always good to keep perspective. Yeah, I'd love to give more to my family but actually i'm in a really good spot and i should be more grateful. I think lots of people don't realise how much other people, that are pretty much your mates that you game with and share the best moments of your life with, can have serious problems in their lives. From depression to critical accidents to marriage breakdowns to severe anxiety and then to life threatening scenarios, this list could go on and on. I'll never share personal conversations, thats not right to do so, but I think it's right for me to say this out loud that for these reasons alone is enough to keep me driving this place forward with the all the great people that support it so much. You see, I will always be there for you all. But it isn't just me. Forever Gaming will be here for you all. Whenever you need us. There's some wonderful people here that have some great views on life and offer amazing support, even when you think you don't need it. I can't do this without @Diddums @phil bottle @tronic44 @crispymorgan and everyone else outside of us that sort out the little adminy bits to keep it ticking over. The second and last point to make is when I was looking for @ChaosGladiator address in my PMs so I could send him a little pressie from the FGFGF, I came across @Stretch616's PM to me on October 26, 2014. It was a blog draft for our first ever Vault of Glass run. Its an amazing write up and made me realise not to feel so bad to nudge and nag (just like this post) some of you to remind you why we're here and why we're more than just a gamertag. I'll put his original post in a Spoiler below but I wanted to pick out a key message in his awesome write that I don't think ever got to a blog post in the end. It was this: However, Forever Gaming is not about the end result, it’s about the journey. I think it says it all. I'll be sharing this around with as many FGers, old and new as I can. I think Stretch's words are worth reading alone. And if you still with me by now, thank you. For that, its the reason why as of today you now see whole new sections for Guides, Tournaments, Photo Comps, Controller Hospital (Patch Notes below) and everything else that was already here. Thanks all for an amazing ride so far. I appreciate every single one of you coming back to FG, however long your absence has been. What I do hope this time though, is you just stay a little longer - you may not know or realise it, but your words and time taken out to read others words might make the key difference in their life.

You have to pick up the adventure from Ana.

I share the same sentiments as Tommy, I obviously don’t frequent like I used to, but I’m around if anyone need anything.

Nice post dude. Wish I could put the time and energy into FG as I used to but life has just gotten too busy now. I hope to be more involved again at some point.

Football League fixtures out and I must say, I'm looking forward to November 16th😎

Funnily enough, I'm a little like @techno as I've enjoyed some Banner and weirdly doing abut of Snipering. The Beloved works really well for it with a good roll. I think just like any other IB, grouping is the best way forward. I've not looked at the quest or bounties apart from pick them up. I seem to have done the first step of the quest after one night so over a full season it should be okay. There was a suggestion though that at the end of the quest it gives you a fully masterworked Felwinters Lie Shotgun - now that would be perfect. Will have to stay locked away in my sordid dreams.

FALL EVERVERSE CHANGES 2h - Destiny Dev Team Hey everyone, Like we did a few weeks ago on the Livestream, we’re going to continue to talk about how Destiny will continue to evolve this Fall and beyond. This update is about how we’re changing Eververse. We’ve already made a number of changes to Eververse in Season of Opulence (we’ve redesigned the store, we’ve made Bright Engrams only include Year 1 gear—and have it bias heavily toward giving you items you haven’t unlocked in your Collections), and we’re going to make more changes to the economy, store, and armor in this fall’s patch. Armor It stinks to go to the Eververse store and see an item that looks cool and then seeing that the item has bad perks on it. In fact, when we’re setting up the armor, we’d twist ourselves up in knots to make sure the Eververse armor sets didn’t have good perks. We did this because we want the best way to get sweet perks on your armor to be by playing the game, not shopping for enhanced Hand Cannon loaders at Tess. The root cause (dating all the way back to Destiny 1) is that Eververse armor has always had perks/gameplay capability as a part of the package. We’re done with that. As of this September, allEververse armor is being converted into Universal Ornaments. These Universal Ornaments can be applied to all of the Legendary armor sets we’re releasing this Fall. They override the look of your equipped gear while preserving the perks, mods, and stats of the original item. Any Eververse Armor you have acquired in your Collections will have its Universal Ornaments automatically unlocked for use on new Legendary armor. For example, if the song in your heart is to have your Titan roll with the 2018 Tin Man-esque Festival of the Lost Helmet, you can put it on any of the new Legendary armor coming to the game this fall. Work in progress build. Evolving Bright Dust Historically, the best way to earn Bright Dust in Destiny 2 has been to buy a bunch of Bright Engrams, shard everything from the engrams, build a giant bankroll of Bright Dust and then spend it when the Warlock Dire Ahamkara helmet shows up the Bright Dust row in the last week of the season. We’re going to change this. This Fall we’re changing Bright Dust from a pay- and/or play-to-earn currency to a play-to-earn reward. We’re adding Bright Dust as a reward for completing Vanguard, Crucible, and Gambit bounties. We want all players to earn Dust for playing, not for spending money and destroying a bunch of items in their inventory. After you complete all your bounties for the week, there will be an additional avenue to keep grinding out Bright Dust. It’s also been pretty uncool to go to the Collection screen and spend Bright Dust to get shaders or Ghost Shells or whatever. We’re going to fix that too. Beginning September 17, Eververse items in your Collections will cost Glimmer and Legendary Shards. If you want to keep pulling out that Exotic Sparrow that looks like a motorcycle until you get the good Sparrow perk (Instant Summon), you can do that with Legendary Shards and Glimmer. Changes to Dismantling Eververse Items Lastly, because we are changing the cost of pulling things out of the Collections, Eververse items will no longer dismantle into Bright Dust. This Fall, Eververse items will dismantle into Legendary Shards and Glimmer. However, that means right now the absolute best thing you can do with all the Eververse items you don’t use regularly—armor, Sparrows, shaders, Ghost Shells, transmat effects—is dismantle them. Sitting on a pile of Midnight Talons or Metro Shift from your Year 1 stockpiles? Shard ’em for Dust. That’s right! Everything must go—dismantle the extra stuff you have in your inventory, build up a huge amount of Bright Dust, and spend it on sweet stuff as it rolls through the Eververse store—because on September 17, everything changes. TL;DR recap for Twitter: On September 17, 2019: All Eververse armor (new and armor you’ve already acquired!) is being converted into Universal Ornaments Universal Ornaments can be attached to any newly acquired Legendary armor Bright Dust is going to come from doing bounties, not dismantling things you spent money on Eververse items can now be pulled from your Collections with Glimmer/Legendary Shards instead of Bright Dust Before September 17, 2019: Dismantle all of your unused Eververse items to maximize your Bright Dust reserves Thanks and see you soon, Luke Smith

@GazzaGarratt the complexity is more to do with having to write war and peace to explain the 17,653 different combinations of things. However if you want can give me access to it, I’ll post my ftb guides in there later.

Why not, it also tests it out a bit to see if it works okay too. Personally, I don;t think it matters how complex they are. The guides are set out for steps so it could help people rather than watching a long youtube video as they can do abit and come back later (Equally though, you can add videos and pictures to them if you have them 🙂)

I think I covered most of the basics that I know of for the FTB mods. There probably are more I could add but they can start to get more complex. Though happy to re-post (of have the guides moved) in to the new section.

That sounds like a great idea Greebs. Some of your guides so far have been great to read through. If you have some in mind straight away PM me and i'll look to get you added as person that can do that 🙂

To further Robs post on buzzwords, it annoys me no end when you see people post things like the current consoles can’t even do 1080p 60fps. Of course they can but the devs decide to turn the graphic settings up to 11 so they only achieve 1080p 30fps. The only difference is on PC you can choose the graphics quality but console it is locked. So to that end I’d like to see some control over the graphics settings. I don’t expect to have the fidelity of controls like PC but when the supposed I don’t think 4k is the majority yet and they’re talking of 8k. I’d like to see even a simple graphics option of 1080p 120fps, 4k 60fps or 8k 30fps for example. I believe that Forza did this on the Xbox One X but I’d like it to see it more widespread.

I’m happy to write guides for things I know like the Minecraft FTB guides I made. Though not so much researching something just to be able to write a guide.

My avenue into this line of work was a strange path, I started working with animals purely for the love of them at first but quickly found out that they can also be very therapeutic to others. I also work with disabled children which makes this even better because of the sensory work. Difference textures for blind kids and simply put most of the children never get a chance to interact with any animal so I provide a secure safe environment for them to do so. I also train vet students with safe handling practises and identification of behavioural disorders. Via the FG App

Unfortunately yes due to them being rescued the previous owners may have I'll treated them or physically struck them. I've had a few close calls with my eyes but hey it's the nature of the work, much the same as a chef cutting his finger preparing a meal only difference is I am the meal [emoji23] [emoji23] Via the FG App
