  1. Xol's back baby!

     

    A few people noticed something strange happening on Io when starting a Taken Blight public event. A secondary boss can spawn away from the public event area, and upon killing it, a taken portal will appear in the area.

     

    Through there, things get weird. Take your jumping puzzle hats and best add clearing weapons, because you'll need them to complete the mission in 20 minutes.

     

    Your reward? Whisper of the Worm - a sniper rifle that is, to all intents and purposes, pre-nerf Black Hammer from D1. Polygonal rifling, ammo generated from thin air on precision shots, it's all there, and with a hefty lore tab too. And that's not to mention the catalyst that'll grant the Box Breathing trait too (as found on the IKELOS sniper).

     

    I'll be spending tomorrow (Saturday) having a crack at this. Full fireteam and patience is definitely needed.

  2. Same, I've got shedloads of grinding to do. Just hit rank 16 with the Vanguard tonight; the Vanguard gift tokens help slightly, just have to keep remembering to use them! Forgot to do so for two strikes tonight...

     

    Crucible isn't so bad, hit rank 5 and reset and halfway through rank 2 now, all thanks to 3x Valor at the weekend. Gonna try and get the ghost but not fussed if I don't. I have the Triumph for Crucible at least.

  3. We've not actually heard that much about Variks, but certainly there has been some unification going on with regards to the old Fallen houses. A lot of signs seemed to point to Uldren being the catalyst for that unification going off snippets of lore and dialogue from D1 Y3 and D2, but we don't know for sure at all.

    The definites are that we know:
    - Uldren met with the Kell of Kings
    - There is now a House of Dusk. It seems like this is merger of two or more Fallen Houses. Whether this was precipitated by Uldren's meeting, we don't know for sure.
    - No news or info on Variks, and only a bit about Petra. We last saw them on the Reef, but we have absolutely no idea of the effect of the Red War on the Reef. It could be that they've been scattered across the Sol system due to fleeing.

    Well, Bungie have just revealed the title of the big Y2 DLC, 'Forsaken'.

     

    As was rather obvious, it'll be using the Reef as a primary setting, and it seems we'll be buddying up with Cayde, maybe more than we did with Ikora/Osiris/Vuvuzela/Ana.

     

    Here is the mini 13-sec teaser that Bungie released: https://mobile.twitter.com/Bungie/status/1003682817039929345

     

    One person did a very clever spot: the Fallen captain that we meet in the reactor quest on Titan was called 'Mithrax the Forsaken'.

     

    I for one am eager to see what comes in the stream tomorrow.

     

    Lore-wise, I need/want to know the following:

    - What has Uldren been up to? Is he the driving force behind the new Fallen house?

    - Will we have Variks be telling us to kill things baaaaccckkk?

    - Petra wasn't on the Queen's ship when shit hit the fan with the events of Taken King. Has she been holding down the fort at the Reef since?

     

    There's a lot more questions and hints floating around, so I'm looking forward to see what this DLC will bring.

  5. Event Title: Reset Day Raiding
    Event Author: Bluebear
    Calendar: Destiny Calendar
    Event Date: 05/22/2018 08:00 PM

    As the title says, I thought it might be worth to try and start raiding on Tuesday evenings.

    We'll probably be best off with starting with the original Leviathan raid first before moving onto the Lairs as I know a few of us have weapon quests that have stages that need to completed (I'm looking at you, Acrius).

     

    So, who's up for it? Start time of 8pm which should hopefully allow our brethen over the water join us if they want to.

    N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.

     

  6. Managed to solo the heroic Psionic Potential last night. The Small Arms-type modifier helped a lot. I found the best thing to do was to burn down the Psion Aspirants before they got to the Warmind core pickup area. Once they're in that you have a very small amount of time to kill them before they evolve into complete and utter bar stewards to kill.

    I found running along the bottom of that top floor and onto the raised platforms either side, back and forth while clearing adds and burning down Psions when they appear gave me enough healing from Momentum and cover to stick it out. Keep an eye out for the two Gladiators that appear at once; a well timed void Curtain Call rocket mostly took these boys out, but you have to be quick about it because they can catch up to you quite quickly if the Inertia debuff is on!

    Took me about 4 wipes to get my routine down and complete it.

  7. Sorry for leaving early tonight lads, but I just couldn't carry on with A Garden World any longer. The 'Glass' modifier is brutal.

     

    Hopefully the modifiers are better tomorrow and are more conducive towards getting through the boss fights.

  8. Was good to see the clan roster looking active in-game last night. We'll have to get together and have a few evenings smashing out the raids (especially when they've remained the same difficulty but with higher power level rewards!) I still need to see Calus [emoji23]
