Not me either, I'd never leave something so valuable lying around.

Yeah, I'm going to try and get it done this weekend.

Step 1: You press the power button Step 2: Put the disc in your console Step 3: Shoot stuff! A more serious answer is just play through the story As you level up you will gain levels and power and it will start unlock the higher level stuff like crucible playlist, strike playlist then Nightfalls and raid. I think most of us have completed the story already but we can still join you for them or start second accounts.

I'm up for trying this as I quite enjoyed Trials in D1 though I think we should only go in to it if we have full fireteam of 4.

Destiny videos generally are PvP clips the same as other games so multikills, crazy grenade kills etc. or stupid/funny PvE stuff like accidentally slamming a sword mid jump so you instantly die, corpse launching bosses etc. As I said last night I've not capped any Destiny as I unplugged my elgato as if it is plugged in I have to have my PC on to play ps4. Which I wasn't going to do for the first week grind.

I'm out tonight unfortunately but it shouldn't be too late when I get home so will hop on and see if you're still on.

Yes, heroic aren't that much harder in a group and you get more/better loot from Herioc. I've had a number of exotics drop from heroic but not seen one from a normal one.

Obviously you glide with the Elytra but with the newer versions you can use rockets to power and you can fly with them. I thought they got added with the Elytra but the rockets were added later (I want to guess 1.12).

I meant using the rockets to fly with the Elytra. I've had that error but I can I fly, well glide, with my Elytra

I suppose getting the 3 staffs could be done with 2 players but that would be a shit ton of enemies to deal with single handed. The baths you have to charge all 4 plates so short of a glitch I can't see how you could have less than 4. Though timings may be too tight so you might have to have the extra 2 players being runners either side. The rest I don't know yet. Certainly for some of the secret stuff you do as 6 levers need to be pulled with specific timing.

Morning guys, I thought we could have a thread to discuss the actual raid for those of who have attempted it. Just to be sure; *** SPOILERS BELOW! *** *** YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! *** So the raid - oh my god! how huge is it!!! Just loading in to the raid and seeing it in front of you. Whoever this raid is bigger than D1 may not be far wrong! We got through the first room pretty quick though the baths caused us some problem in working out the exact mechanics. Eventually we got the mechanics down and then a few more tries got it done. Due to the rotation of players it seems a fight that goes more and more wrong the longer it goes on so thankfully we managed it in 2 damage phases. We then got up to the dogs and tried to work out the mechanics but by this time it was a later so then spent a lot of time exploring the underside. I wont say how to do or where to go exactly but if you go under the spawn there are rooms with levers which open secret doors - the problem is all you get on screen is "the way is open" so no idea where some of the doors are! We managed to find one though and you go through the tunnels, pipe, up lifts, down drops, jumping puzzles etc. and there are chests in there which seem to require keys from the raid. It also seems a way to skip certain fights as you can get out of these tunnels in to the baths or straight to the dogs which could become useful. A lot of the doors have symbols on like the crossed axes, cup, dog etc. so we were thinking they open once you have done certain bits of the raid or maybe something to do with challenge mode but we couldn't figure it out. Overall, from what I played and explored last night I think it is a very good raid and it will take some time before we know all the secrets of it. Drop wise - I managed to get the raid pulse rifle which is alright actually. All the other drops I got were normal engrams so nothing raid specific. It did boost my level nicely though taking me from 285 to 290 so I can't complain too much.

I popped on the server last night while the Destiny servers were down. I didn't get much done but oh my god that is some rather large holes you have dug! No wonder there are so many chests on the surface!!! I've always found mine works as long as it is in your inventory, it doesn't need to be in your hot bar unless you want to open the bag.

I had completely forgotten about the fireworks I made a bunch of fireworks for my Elytra but that wasn't added until a later version so thought I'd put them to some use. I must have built it just before you went away. Did you manage to fix it though? If not, I can pop on and take a look

In the first game you could join one of three factions - Future War Cult (FWC), New Monarchy(NM) and Dead Orbit (DO). Lore wise each faction came about for varying reasons which off the top of my head I can't remember. In Destiny 1 , you join a faction and you gain xp for it and each time you level up you get given some armour or weapons. There used to be differences in the armour they gave as to what stats got boosted, for example FWC used to speed up super and grenade recharge at the cost of slowing down your melee charge. This got removed later on in D1 and each faction offered varying stats on their armour which, to me at least, it then became irrelevant which faction you were part of (short of it you were trying for a specific weapon like Hung Jury). I was FWC early in D1 purely because to me, super and grenades are more useful to me than a melee. As above though, once this got removed though, I stopped caring about factions short of trying to get some of their specific weapons. I hope they have brought back some differences in the factions so I'll wait to see if/what they are before aligning myself with one. If there is no, or very little difference, then I'm leaning towards DO or NM as their shaders were cool in D1 and FWC always looked shit.

That is good to know that solo counts too as we can contribute even levelling up alternative characters too. I am really impressed how quick we are smashing the weekly clan target, even with the servers being down we're still over 50%. I haven't Lee, I had a quick search this morning but everything says you get 500xp if you do public events in a fireteam. I'm hoping it was just a quirk of the servers coming back online and getting hammered rather than any bug as public events are an easy way to get clan xp.

Yes, it pops up as others get clan XP. if it just says '500 clan xp' then it is others. It says something like '500 personal clan xp' when it is you doing it. As I understand it, to earn clan xp you need to be in a fireteam on which at least half is your clan. I'm not sure if you do stuff solo whether this counts though.

I'm a scout rifle guy for PvE so getting the Mida relatively easy is perfect for me. I haven't found an auto rifle I like yet though seem to get on with all of them alright in crucible. Outside of that though, loving me 'Berender's Memory' grenade launcher as the grenades stick to enemies. Get a pack of dogs, stick one and watch them all die

It's a bummer about the 100k limit thought I suppose the limit makes sense else the huge clans would be max level in the first week. As for helping out, I'll tend to ask when I come to do stuff but generally will be working through missions etc. but if anyone wants specific help with something like the NF just ask

Good job man! We would have done it on that run you disconnected. In the end I completed the NF 5 times and I don't know how many attempts. I'm looking forward to this weeks just for a change in mission

A different strategy taken from another forum; When you're going up the lift and he stands at the top ignore him. Immediately kill all of the turrets on the platform behind him. He'll then jump into the centre between the two platforms. If the arc burn is active all 3 players (if hunters ofc) should then stunlock him into oblivion with arcstrider. We melted him in about 15 seconds with 8 minutes to spare. I'm sure you can replicate the above with any other combination of supers. However, the key thing is that all 3 players use the same burn.

I've done it already but happy to help out anyone tonight that wants to give it a run. Best tips I can think for this NF is to; Run a mix of all burns. So if you're running a arc subclass have solar and void in your energy/power weapons slots. Same applies for void and solar subclasses. If possible too make sure there is no duplication of burns - so the fireteams energy weapons will be 1 void, 1 arc, 1 solar with the same on power weapons. So basically it doesn't matter what the burn is someone always has weapons for that burn. If it is a burn you have weapons for then focus on yellow bars as you will melt them, if you don't then use your kinetic weapons on the red bars. This is obviously perfect world though which you might not have the weapons for currently. Run through sections you don't have to kill enemies in. At the beginning you get outside the first room and have to fight the enemies outside. Eventually the ship leaves and you will be able to pick up the solar energy ball thing - whoever picks it up can run and dunk it without killing any of the Fallen. This will open the shield and you can run inside which spawns 2 or 3 yellow bar Cabal - you have to kill these for the next checkpoint to come up. From there you can run through everything else until you get outside again at which point you can get on your sparrow and blast through all the way through to the tank. At the section ignore this tank - activate the 2 screens and bring the lift down with the second tank. From this point on you need to shoot you way to the final area with the boss. If all goes well you should have ~5 mins left on the clock when you start fighting the boss. I did it with 1min 30 secs left but we were all ~275 so if you're in the 260's you will prob need this extra time. Final tip - with the war dogs they tend to run in a group and you can kill them all with one grenade from a launcher if you have the right burn. It can save a few seconds in killing them individually and can easily add 10-20 seconds too.

I enjoy twitch shooters but my real introduction to multiplayer FPS was the Halo series and being used to OW more recently the long TTK doesn't bother me. I have only had maybe 10-12 matches but can't say I've noticed the CoD problem (well except when using a pulse rifle but pulse rifles suck balls!). I do wish they would add a hardcore mode though - maybe same amount of health but no shields. Or even something more fun like SWAT from Halo (basically headshot only with scout rifles) which I used to love as it relied on accuracy but it was so fast paced too.

I'm running the raid at release with my 'old' non FG raid team (sorry Lee) but will be down for FG raids too.

Thanks for this, I hit 280 earlier and was going to grind to see if I could get exotics to boost my level 1 or 2 more. However I might as well just grind the powerful gear from milestones on Tuesday in preparation for the raid. As Lee said basically, there is a milestone this week for contributing 5k which gives you a powerful engram. The clan hit the 100k limit for the week which means everyone in the clan gets a powerful engram. On the subject of clan XP though it is character unique not account. So now I have started levelling up my second character I could contribute 10k a week. Obviously with a third this would be 15k a week.

I've been neglecting this (as well as almost everything else) for D2. Though Destiny is always more manic at the beginning when trying to get raid ready in a week. The raid releases this week though I should be busy again but after that I should have some more time for this project.
