I like Riskrunner as an option. All I'd say to people is make sure you have a number of high level guns that you can infuse into whatever you may need to call upon and grab some extra upgrade modules too to save the time and hassle. I'd argue at Templar stage it was always the sniper Hobgoblins that we're worse than the Ad-control. They only overwhelmed us if we didn't get the Minotaurs quickly that would spawn in the top corners of the map. Part of me suggests a decent scout to call on for some stages. I haven't got a decent Linear Fusion rifle though and I'm very much feeling like we'll need one for Atheon. I get that and its a difficult one to balance as they're non-FG. Ideally we can find more that would like to run it but with FGers getting behind this I cant see how they can take a slot over them right at this minute. I always felt more would FGers would be around and its great they are. Lets hope a few more come out of the woodwork too. Don't forget, I cant see a problem in getting them in a raid with us in the first few days I imagine, just might be difficult for other FGers to get to know them on the first time meeting is a Day 1 raid with the additional challenge that comes with it issall. 😅 It might help if they come over and do an intro? 😄

Fantastic season. I can't actually believe we've been racing in this for 3 whole months. Insane, especially more so because of how many of you all turned up most weeks. Having 10+ FGers on the track is so awesome and it adds to the unpredictability of the whole league. I'm also proud that whilst we all had our own bumps and bruises through the weeks, we really didn't get at each other and showed that you can have a decent mini league and have a good laugh along the way. I doubt most places could do that. Huge kudos has to go to @phil bottle for arranging everything and pushing out races each week. It really helped keep the momentum going even through your busy spells outside of gaming. Well done @JBR-Kiwi for winning a super tight league and great job by @Greboth doing some awesome driving right down to the wire, not to mention his awesome articles that really brought the evenings to life. Let's hope this is the first of many now we have a lot of people really interested in what we're doing and see some of the promising improvements that many have made keep continuing. We could all be extremely closer next time! Oh, and don't worry Phil, I now know not to mess about with the wheel if I don't need to..those last few weeks can stay in your mind as a lovely memory for next season 😄😘

I don't think this will be a problem - we could start mid-june but we have to be realistic and try to do this alongside people not always being here every week. Its worked well with the first league we did with us all individually and i can't see why it couldn't again. All in all whatever those teams are i'm cool with. I actually think we should pair up the remaining people too so they also get some form of a team but perhaps they don't need a specific manufacturer as their apearances won't impact it all as much. Good balance potentially - cos lets face it, having 20 of us all around to be in races would be so awesome. What you all reckon?

Variety is the spice of life i'm finding - and pushing yourself into these things when you don't quite feel it will make an impact in a positive way. I don't mean all games too, i mean also getting out and about (not sure what the covid situation is though where you are). I love Destiny but I enjoy it far more now that I don't feel like i have to play it every day. Similar to BF5. A few rounds here and there are great or a night of it, and then i move to the next game we're all playing. Lets get another night setup even if its midweek on BF5 but also let us know what other games you have and when you're normally around so we can get other game nights in too 😎👍

Great to see more fans at the grounds. Makes sucha adifference and will be interesting to see how players perform with them at the crowds now.

What you missed buddy? Just Battlefield or just the grouping up with your favourite FG buddies? 😁

I've watched that @phil bottle and now I feel the same 😄

I'm checking on @Greboth as he may want to join in on the fun. I also imagined @techno to be around so give it a little longer because we could get all FGers still reply potentially.

I'll be back on it soon @STE M , I think some play in the mid-week if you're about?

Any more votes at all for these before we look at how much interest we have across all of them? Equally if there are different types you've seen online and want to share, please do!

I mean, it just looks like Division! Which is not supposed to be a positive or negative statement....it just is what we expect it to be. However, if this is going to bang with the community, then they need to share and work hard on that 45 player PvPvE gamemode that has the chance to draw people in on the sounds of it. Need more detail on how its going to work me thinks. Lets hoep we get some codes in the not too distant future.

Have you ever played a game where you noticed a story? 😁 I agree with the bounty side of things although still not really a grind. Every time we're we just pick up a few bounties and then by the end of the 3 months i'm sure i'll easily be over 100 levels. I get it would feel grindy if you're in a hurry for all the loot but there really isn't any need unless you want to do GMs a little earlier than everyone else. We played quite a few of the 6 player activity, Override, over the weekend. I actually found it a lot of fun. Not too much concentration needed, lots to shoot and blow up, fun little jumping puzzle before the end boss. And the loot? Fucking fantastic. They've really got a great look this Season and there are a number of weapons that work very well. The AR, Chroma Rush, is awesome for PvP and I love the Machine Gun, Shattered Cipher, fires so nice and a 900 RPM one. Apparently the Pulse Rifle, Gridskipper, is one to look out for too. I also like the fact the playloop on this to get 'Ether' for the keys is much easier and not time consuming. Don't worry about your pinnacles Bob @Baabcat , in less than a week VoG will be giving them out as well as Iron Banner from tomorrow!

I'm with you, I can see them not winning anything this year and even the Women lost their CL final against Barcelona! I was super happy for Leicester, they were terrific and deserved their slice of luck through the game. Jamie Vardy also became the only player that has played in every single round of the FA Cup. Incredible achievement and now some of those players have a Premiership and an FA Cup medal. Absolutely brilliant. Made up for Rodgers too.

Great read Chad @Riff Machine . Do you think it took the right elements from RE4 or could it have taken more? I'm also interested in how you found the camera angles as opposed to RE4 and whether it took away from the feel of the game at all?

Well at least Sony got our memo that the FG colours are the way to go 😎 Getting a black controller with my pure white console gives me OCD anxiety, however the red one I could dip for if a controller breaks in the future.

So I've heard that it was being teased for June which is really good news that we're hopefully not far away. We've now had confirmation through one of their sales calls that whilst BF6 is being created specifically for next-gen in mind, it IS getting a PS4/XBox1 version as well. So thats great news and a big banana skin avoided.

So, I didn't get chance to play this as it past me by when I was younger. Owl always raved about it and I ended up buying one of the later series just for the MP. I probably should shift more time to play SP games cos of the story in this one. I'm worried about how much the controls and gameplay are outdated though so would be good to know if they've revamped them in any way for this edition.

It makes sense that someone like yourself Bob @Baabcat is missing the grind because this is all you play so that extra added incentive of watching a big number go up helped you focus. Problem is there has been far more feedback for most of the playerbase that the gring is too much, especially for people returning or want to get stuck in to more content with their friends but can't do it. This is why the power grind being now just an additional 10 points, which is just extra pinnacle points makes perfect sense. I know get to probably try GMs now when I physically couldn't last Season because of my power level. #nerfstasis was trending hugely today so I think we'll get an annoucement to push forward some extra nerfs to stasis later in the season. And damn we need it more than ever.

Thought it would be good to get this going as i've only had an hour on it so far so not played all that's available to me so far. Positives so far The story - The development of the characters and how they are now portraying the story through more and more interactions with charcters in game is exactly where they needed to more. Its built on the previous season and whilst not as hugely threatening as the last season, the intentions through this story makes you want to learn more and understand what is happening yet another unlikely 'alliance'. Lakshmi is back! And I thought interactions with old faction people was gone forever. Power grind is gone! Super happy that I feel like i'm not far behind any more because its only jumped by 10. By just playing the game does that so I can actually focus on things I really want to do or help others get their objectives completed Aesthetics and early level design in missions. The tron-look is amazing to see as you jump around it and the level design really feels something brand new albeit subtly different The Transmog screen. So much easier to see what you can do and the look of your character far quicker. Helm Updates. Seeing the helm expand from last season is what you want from a social space. More to interact with and makes it more inviting than the Tower is already. Negatives so far The transmog weird upgrading path to get the currency to use it isn't the greatest. I'm actually not bothered about how many are on offer, its more the objectives seem quite lengthy for something just to change the way you look - at least we get some free after a few objectives but its clearly done to try and get people that don't want to wait to buy more currency with real money. Okay, if it gives us more content, fine but i'd like it if we could get a little more for slightly lower objectives. Not much news on PvP. Some more stasis nerfs but doesn't go far enough. They know this but its annoying that they can't nerf it to the ground and buff it up in future seasons. I don't play half as much now and out of principle I just hate using stasis in PvP as I just feel dirty using it (plus everyone seems to know how to use it better) Fragments - Apparently more fragments are available to increase the options on the Stasis subclass on Europa....and I can honestly say I cba with them at all. Thats just a way of elongating the brand new subclass out further which just annoys people even more about stasis. You'd have to ask someone else that understands stasis more as to whether or not the new fragments are worth pursuing Things not seen yet New 6 player seasonal activity - not played it. I'm not expecting menagerie standards yet if i'm honest but just want something different to pull 6 of us into which is great news imo. VoG Raid - not out yet (22nd May). I hope there's replayability in it for everyone. I also just want my Vex Mythoclast BADLY. Loot - There seems to be lots of positive feedback so far on all the loot. There's loads of it out there too, not just old D1 weapons reprised with new perks. Be good to know how others are finding it so far. (Also hearing a number of things to come 'off-roadmap' i.e. hidden and not yet known to the wider public - really hoping for a next level mission again like Presage from last Season).

I'll be honest here, if you're spending at least £500 for a console that you want badly enough to get up at 2am for, then paying an extra 20% to secure one (that probably would've given you a spare controller which is handy) wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world surely? At least its not buying it from a scalper that will give you the base machine for 30-50% more.

Thanks mate, tbh that second race I really should've won considering I caught you up and past you with 2 laps to go, I just couldn't hold you off before the final lap!

You don't need the DLC. If you come back and play it more then its your perogative if you wanna pay it or not to get more stuff to do. Tbh, how much you're online, the 8 quid pass is more than enough right now for you. Thats why I said so do just that for now in my earlier post. Now quit your whining if you're gonna play the damn game. And that doesn't mean going on and then just going for a poo as soon as a strike starts as you usually do.

@Rumelylady Happy birthday Sarah!! Hope you have a great day and make sure @Riff Machine gets you all the things you want!! ❤️😎🎂💃🤘

@RenFengge La, definitely get them across and say hi. A few more that want some help and a home is always welcome here. @jordie1892 @Lurch @Macca89 @G_dub52 @Mikepjbell I know you all have started to get back into Destiny so take a look at this as I think in a week Saturday it could be a really fun day trying out the VoG raid again. @Greboth, about time you dusted yourself off like we did for the Beyond Light release, isn't it? It was fun trying it last time out together.
