Press release from Bungie website: Bungie Prepares for Future Growth in 2021 > News | Bungie.net WWW.BUNGIE.NET This is pretty significant news for a company that is now out there on its own, its clearly very successful still on the back of the current state of the game via the income streams they get as to create a whole new International HQ in the middle of Europe is a statement of intent that Destiny 2 is here to stay and grow longer, alongside whatever their brand new IP will be (out before 2025). The fact there has always been huge debate on how good or bad a season is and the huge amount of feedback they receive to keep improving the game shows there is a massive desire for the Destiny Universe to carry on. With more and more people that I see online and out in the media/streamer section, people are either picking it up for the first time or returning with better/improved views of the state of the game. It'll always have 'droughts' or quieter spells and i'm glad it does. This game should strive to survive alongside other games rather than be the only game to be played. The past few months they are nailing that without the severe FOMO and grind that was always with Destiny.

Awesome shout @Macca89 . Whilst I haven't got it yet, its great to see another game get a few people together. I'm keeping an eye on it and will try and pick it up next payday if I can. Looking forward to all those 50000000 yard sniper shots! 🤣😎

Valheim Update February 17 changes The latest update doesn’t add too much to the title, instead, it fixes a range of bugs that have cropped up over the last few days. It does also make a quality of life change, by adjusting the auto-save time from 30 minutes to 20 minutes. Valheim Update 0.145.6 Full Patch Notes For those interested, here are the full patch notes for Valheim’s latest update. Disable google analytics Updated Unity engine Forest crypt fixes Credits updated Save system returned to old-new Pickables sync fix (stones, carrots etc) Dedicated server CPU usage fix (Framerate limiter) Hearth smoke building fix Save system tweaks Console “save” function can be used remotely if player is added to admin list Autosave every 20min (instead of 30min) Manual join IP function (dedicated servers only) Extra tombstone checks ( to prevent them from disappearing ) Better broken world handling ( crash/exit instead of loading an empty world ) Localization fixes

That would be ace! Lol, I'm feeling it now as I didn't expect to come on after the GT Sport races but I was pulled to it...so glad I did too! I started building the big house on stilts - yes, stilts 😄 - which was great fun and addicting. In terms of bosses, whilst it is hard to wait for everyone to be online, I do think a weekly thing will work. I mean, I can see us blasting through it very quickly otherwise and there's nothing stopping people do that on their own local saves. ALthough, even i'm getting a little itchy to do it and its not Sunday yet! 😄 Its a balance being here to have a server world that is for all of us so all of us have a chance at contributing. This one works so well because anyone can jump in later on and feel like they can help as nearly all the stuff we all can do at the same time. @phil bottle, we'll have a chat maybe at sticking up the world boss events up early on the calendar so people can see over the next 5/6 weeks when we can be all on way in advance.

I enjoyed Monza but those tracks are inevitable that we were gonna crash at some point on the first corner! I'd suggest a rolling start on a track there is a decent first few corners. I'll take a look later and offer my opinions 🙂

It twas a great night again for sure. I persisted with the wheel as you guys said its how to get better at it. It started better than I expected but then my internet was abit dodgy to the extent that the DNS issues I was having I found out is a cause for the Pit Stop glitch and the fixed car at the start. Shame as that race felt it was going to be good in practice. Monza went really well for 4 laps, even with James' @Lurch car sideways in front of me! Problem with the wheel for me is when you do get a large mistake happen, it completely wrecks your race as I'm more akin to quickly sorting it with a controller. Need to understand more how to reset when fully facing a barrier or oversteer sends you off in a spin. Pressing options may help but there should be quicker options. We'll see if i can find more time around for practicing with it. Eventually it would be easier to have a fold up race seat so it could bolt on that and i can put it away quickly afterwards. Great to see some performances out there though from some people that usually feel they've had a shite week. I know I bang on about not quitting but a few people could've ended up high up in the final standings if they hadn't. Matt as a prime example jumped up 6 places after crashing and being last. I think this game hurts people a lot more internally than I first thought!

Ah fair enough mate. I suppose it doesn't but it's not starting from a fresh and they're still referencing the Mind stone which is obvious. From a watcher that could be a non-huge Marvel geek, i'm just looking out for continuity between Marvel Phases. Everyone will have Endgame in their head so its just putting it into persepctive. Now THAT is clever! Didn't catch that one at all! Did you rewatch it for stuff like this?

Also this. We know what you're like Tommy 😄 but honestly, La @RenFengge , Carl @TurboR56Mini and Justin @FallenDark200 so far have enjoyed the experience with a number of more US people wanting to come in and help the cause too. Its a game which is fairly quietly played aswell, because many of us can easily just go off into the woods doing our thing. I mean I clearly wasn't online until past 1am last night with US people.... 😁

Nah, don't be silly mate! Not everyone is gonna like the game. Here's my 2p on what you say. Graphically wise I was worried because I'm not the ultimate fan of Minecraft, but I appreciate what you can make in it. Valheim takes a Minecraft element with the graphics to a degree but they've enhanced them so if you look from the ground to the sky its a blend of all types. Something to enjoy and not really in any other game. Also, Rich @tronic44 made a very valid point the other day as for us its not much about graphics, but how animations work. Take a cutting a tree down. When you cut it down, if it falls into other trees the mechanics mean that it can knock other trees down too, in line with how you would think it would be in real life. Building stuff is just so quick. No waiting, just get the stuff and build it with the Hammer. The snapping, once you understand it, is one of the best i've seen in a game that compensates for the uneven ground and other elements around you. You don't play these games do you Tommy? DayZ is a survival but a way harsher scale and in fairness is about you surviving than surviving to create your own village/world. This is a chill game too so some people may want something more intense (although it does have its moments!). I think the game goes into another dimension because we have our very own server so we're all working together to do stuff and explore but genuinely mate, if you ain't gonna get your money's worth, no harm in getting a refund whilst you can.

And over the weekend it had more concurrent players than GTAV on Steam. Amazing start. See how you get on but for £15 its an absolute steal of a game. Loads of playtime guaranteed in this.

Good episode for number 6. Liked it a little more now, albeit it still feels slow (not a problem as per se, just gotta tell myself when you start a brand new Marvel Phase, things are gonna take time). I agree Tom @LordBaguette , he is defo a villain - which I didn't realise he was in the comics - he knows too much and he knows he's even different. He doesn't answer the question from Wanda when asked and deflects. Its sad watching Vision try and get out of the Hex and how it breaks him inside out. Very strange whats going on all of a sudden. I'm convinced when Scarlet Witch was at the lowest of the low and all alone, one of the big bad guys manipulated her to believe she could have all the good things in life again. I think she'll go bad but she'll end up much later in the entire Marvel Phase as a goody - her raw anger but big heart pulls hearts from fans which they will take into account years from now. Nice to see a nod to Rambo's DNA changing, which I think you said was 'Photon'. I'm still not understanding what and why the Hex is created how it is. Its more related to the Reality stone than the Mind stone imo, but thats from someone with not much experience in the Marvel comics as others.

You better have this by the end of the day. This is a whole lotta fun for nice and chilled moments over the week. This is soooooo much fun. Loving seeing how many people are enjoying them so far ❤️ More servers you say? 😈 Such a great update. I'd love to see loads of these incoming. These are great to help people understand whats going on and what they may have missed. It also keeps people involved in where we are as all of us can't get on at the same time these days. I'm thinking of making my way to the South East Dungeo I found yesterday. Maybe over the next few days around FIFA and GT Sport nights if I can. Are the Dungeons a fun little activity then?

I'd love to get stuck into one as I missed BF4 hype at the time. Lets keep our fingers crossed it gets some good early signs before release and i'm sure FG would get behind it....we've played CoD since day zero so I can't see why not!

Hey Tom @FlaminPinguGaming ! Welcome to FG 😄 Rich is right when he says PPRs are the way to go tell us even more about yourself! What other games do you play? Is it just PC or do you play on console too? Its predominantly PlayStation and PC here but we do see more Xbox people coming around, mainly because of the Game Pass value. FG is a unique place where we all get to know each other on a completely different scale. You could say the most dysfunctional family around and that would be an understatement 😄 Like i mentioned to your better half @Kimmi29 the other day, take a look around and get involved in anything and everywhere. Hopefully we can jump into some games at some point, especially Valheim as its kicked off a storm over recent weeks. Here's hoping you have a great stay at FG and become a proper FGer 😁

Event Title: Monday Night Football - FIFA 21 Pro Clubs - F.G.F.C. Event Author: GazzaGarratt Calendar: Community Calendar Event Date: 02/15/2021 08:00 PM We're one win away from the Division 4 title so we can give Division 3 a bloody good go tonight on MNF!! Let's see what team we've got for tonight! GGFGFC! Monday Night Football - FIFA 21 Pro Clubs - F.G.F.C. N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.

With the new formation we've played over the past week, having 3 at the back means any more CBs would be a great shout. I'm also gonna try GK at some point and we shouldn't be frightened to have a few. We have great chances to get 11 on most weeks now so I don't think its a bad shout considering how much action we see in our half!! Does anyone think we need more just typical CMs or is there no value in having these types of builds?

After finally getting on over the course of the last few days, I have to say overall that first impressions are pretty good this time round. I always get a little sketchy when we do get a Season alongside a full DLC package because as Datto says, if you spend too long looking at what is offer it always feel quite light because they don't want to pull you away from the main show. This time round, there are many things that have progressed and are already showing we are getting well worth our money's worth already on this season of content. Battlegrounds - New activity, very solid. Love how it gives a subtle upgrade to the 'Vanguard' section in the game. Not too difficult but challenging as you go up the levels. H.E.L.M. - New social-type space. I love how it looks. Yep, would be good if it was not a separate loading section to the Tower but it makes total sense why you'd keep it separate from standard stuff in the game. The War Table looks great and they could go further with that if they made the table intractable to show where the next fights you could nullify across the universe. Love how the story gets put across in simplistic ways through holograms of the characters, aswell as little dialogue conversations whilstyou are in the H.E.L.M. Would love to see this develop more into it and the table become more like the Fortnite updates we've seen (yep, they're are pretty amazing for UI updates of late imo) Umbral Engrams and Recaster - Great addition. It should come with an easy explanation for new players though. Like the fact I don't get too many aswell. I hated that the game showered me with them - good stuff shouldn't always be gifted to you in bucket loads. Now this type of thing is here to stay in the game (if you read the TWAB updates thats what they've said), I think if they can make it more inviting and helpful to understand you need to complete the objectives on each focused engram that you can read in the recaster menu, that would be perfect - maybe make it accessible via the Quest menu like Season Challenges are. Sandbox Updates - Like the fact they've tweaked Swords and buffed Rocket Launchers. Everyone uses swords and in a predominant gun game, it was getting to me a bit. Love now Rocket launchers have a chance in the game as they've never been great in D2. Time to hopefully see them be more clutch because seeing a rocket save the day as it explodes is far more entertaining. PvP - Not had enough time in there but I need to find new weapons thats for sure. Also, Stasis, even for patient people like me, is starting to make it suck hard. Concept was great but they forgot to realise that in PvP one of the worst ways to die is a slow and painful death. Wtahcing yourself slowed or frozen whilst you wait for the inevitable final blow is soul destroying. Thats why Stasis is likely to be annoying forever and a day. Gambit - Not tried yet. But its sad to see it neglected. I loved it when it came out. They may need to evolve it with something slightly longer like the Reckoning stages we had as people just rinse through it, not making it a competition anymore. Seal Upgrades, Challenges and Triumphs - These are getting some love and attention which is a great idea. It helps drive people's behaviour on stuff to do. Let's face it, we all love ticking a box and completing something so these updates are doing a lot more to the game than people realise. Seal levels are the way to go. Might try the Gambit one as its not too difficult once you have Dredgen already. Guns? - Good so far. Season of the Chosen kinetic SMG feels great, the new Exotic Bow is cool to use (explosions for Dayzzz) and Rockets are now viable like i said above. Best bit? - The UI updates to the Quest pages. There is now extra detail on each quest which you can drill down into. Shows the rewards, shows the step you're on out of the total steps too. This is what D1 got right very well and there are taking it down a better journey that keeps you engaged in the game.

I only have FB because of the FG Account so we can keep in touch with those that end up as that being the only contact we have left with them. I agree with a lot of this debate. Seriously, this is how debates are supposed to go, you listen to each other and still can respectfully disagree with whatever is said. I do hold Twitter as one of the main root causes to our issues we have today that spun all of this stuff up. Its literally the best and worst place to go - its where we get the latest news right from the horses mouths - fortunately and unfortunately.

Needed a relatively easy watch when I wanted to go to bed early the other night, so I watched Bloodsport. The Muscles from Brussels, Jean Claude Van Damme was just as impressive as he's always been for an action hero for me! Acting in parts are sometimes quite hilarious, and weirdly I even forgot that it cast Forest Whitaker in the film too! I don't know how he did the overextended splitz, it looked painful as hell but a nice easy watch if you love action films - based on a true story too if people have completely missed this over the years.

Love how peaceful and calm it looks with the Heavy Death Metal music going on in the background! 🤣 Love it dude, and you're looking pretty trim of late mate 😎 nice work.

Hi there @Kimmi29 , welcome to FG. What would be great is if you could get involved in the community and hopefully over time people will feel like they can pop over to the channel. Its a lovely unique place where we get to know each other, more than other places. And if he REALLY wants to get involved to be an FGer, then ask him to pop over too so he can introduce himself as well. What games do you play? What platforms are you on? When did you start playing games? You looking to play games with people here? I'd just add a little bit more and you may find that people are willing to give things a look. As you say, hopefully lockdown gives you the time to look around and get involved here 😄 Hope you enjoy your stay, Kimmi.
