Never heard of these phones. They look like Honor ones that my wife gets from 3. I know they're pretty smart and way more affordable than most other android phones. Lol, yeah I know what you mean about size for all those games. The phone has kind of become the camera of this age. I don't know many that own a camera, unless its a proper professional one like @Greboth has. Mad how battery life has become a key factor in phones now. Strange your newer version doesn't have wireless charging though?

This is a unique community of gamers. A family, you could say. Where people get to know each other and help out where they can. Registering just to ask people to join a random separate gaming community isn't allowed. I'm sure you'd hate it if I did the same on yours? Like I said, we're building something unique here for many years after being here for many years already and we endorse people's ideas once they become a trusted FGer. You're welcome to stay but maybe get involved in the community first and create an intro before you spam your hidden agenda on people. That's not how you build trust up in the world, is it? We're going into the GM roleplay sector anyway so maybe you and all your crew can join the FG ranks on the next one thats created?

Thanks for realising so quickly Terri that FG is the home of all homes so hope you can stay and feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing you won't ask something like that again 🤗

Here's the official statement

Well, it makes sense if its that bad to remove it from wider consumption and work on the game further. You have to think how much decent feedback did they get from their testers?

I'm not going underestimate the amount of stuff I've called out and my main hope is to keep each one flowing as best as we can. That's where you guys come in! To try and get some momentum and keep it going, I've created new support roles for the following: Merch Support - for Merchandise Pages Support - for Homepage and New Game Spaces Guides Support - for Guides & Tips Recruitment Support - for Old Veteran FGers and New FG Recruits Socials Support - for FG Gaming Schedules, FG Charity Streams and FG Socials I think bringing a few into the same pots will mean a few are easier to maintain that way and make more sense over time to the ones that have asked to get involved in some capacity. They'll be corresponding elements that you guys will see if you raised your hand to help out. This can help track conversations and drive stuff to happen. I still want as much as we can shared with everyone at FG so once stuff and decisions have been made we can then get more threads and posts up in general sections so everyone is kept in the loop. Thanks also to the few that have offered general support along the way and/or can't support right now. The door has and always will be open to keep helping where possible. This is an attempt to make shit happen. If anyone wants to get involved stuff all you have to do is ask and we can try and get you involved where possible. Not all things will work and that is okay. I'd rather us all try because if we don't try, we'll never know how to get better and help more people. Outside of all of this, don't forget we have a Suggestions Tracker here (also can be accessed via the 'More' menu). We should always strive to get as many suggestions as we can that the FG family can achieve together, system changes, etc so don't feel frightened to put some up. All below, your profile roles have been updated on the specific ones you asked to support - i'll nudge you all to show you where stuff is shortly. @Greboth @MrBiron @FallenDark200 @Middle Class Caveman @fg_cal @Misneach_ @Mikepjbell @Nutcuttlit @slamminbones @G_dub52 @crispymorgan GGFG 👊

Love this Greebs, it'd help me if it was 2 separate pics going forward cos we can put them up in different places and see if others want to join the fun (i can separate this one in abit for further use). I'll have to have a look what N800 cars i own. I haven't had time to put AC in yet so this may be a good time to try it. Looks like there is wheel wear on it though which doesn't bode well for slideyslideysmashaccelarator guy over here 😬

Nothing has been officially confirmed yet though has it? However, i'm with you if it does. Maybe its trying to follow the footsteps of this new one trying to be different which overall I think has been a positive step.

It was a little bit funny watching the social media pop off with crazy anxiety because they all needed to know the inside gossip on why he was banned. You could clearly see the reason 'why?!' means that many people are barely surviving to breathe without knowing this extremely important and critical news. Ahh, the difference between life and death for a Social Media addict 😂

Hey Troy! Glad you made it across man, hopefully we've got many night of Destiny to come 😄 but like George @G_dub52 says, you should totally get in on some FG Fridays. I'm sure on the other days George and the rest of the crew can get some Warzone in, love being a magpie in that game (possible every game, but hey, who doesn't love finding and picking up shiny shit! 😀) Welcome to FG bud and I hope you enjoy your stay. Get involved where you can!

Yeah, totally with you on this Gaz. The good thing is they've acknowledged it has to change (heavy reliance on bounties) and it starts to change next season into more lifetime/one-off objective based rewards. I want to do activities first and bounties alongside them as a secondary non-essential feature. Thats spot on there. The current Discipline, Intellect, Strength, etc stats make some minor differences at end game stuff but i've never had to worry about them on 90% of the easily accessible stuff. In some instances this would totally work and in D1 we had one exotic per class (I'm looking at you, my favourite Fabian Strategy PvP AR ❤️) however this kind of goes against a fundamental principle that Bungie wants which is to give the gamer the ultimate choice on what you wanna play in any gamemode as over time they started to receive negative feedback that they were 'forcing' people to play all 3 classes if you wanted to get 'everything'. There is a number of activities where each class will be better than others already, and taking 3 Hunters into a hard activity like 3-man Menagerie, wouldn't struggle like hell without the Warlock healing bonuses. On your theme though, I would love to see a brand new subclass all centered around different healing abilities to see if it would change up the meta. I think the brand new burn and subclass Stasis coming in September is a pretty big change to the overall sandbox so don't be surprised if that has stuff that dominates for a while. I know you haven't played in a while mate, but they are actually making activities with their own specific loot pools alot more often and I hope coming soon we get some 'Hard' mode loot that exists on new and current content.

Welcome to FG, Adam @foxhoundmoses ! It's been great playing with you a few times already. I'm sure @Nutcuttlit and @J&B will look forward to blasting zombies with you! Take a look around and get involved where you can/want to mate. Hope you enjoy being around FG, you'll quickly become part of the furniture I'm sure 😎

Anyone actually picking this up? Be interested to see someone play it and give an opinion from here.

Can you put the details of how to register and buy in on the Calendar event pleeeaase 😀 I know we have to pre-register so we're all in so probably helpful for people to know what to do first if they haven't played already.

I actually agree with pretty much most of this @techno Gary. I've said for a while that as the game evolves, the Power grind has become a secondary factor in as far as achieving goals go whereas in the first number of years, the big Power number was the ultimate goal. What people strive for is new content and i'd agree with them. We all want the best, endgame, brand new never seen before content over older, already completed content. The one part in the detail of this that I struggle to side with though is that some people view literally dismiss any old content in the game like its not 'fun' any more or meaningless. Crucible, Strikes, Gambit, Dungeons, Raids, Menagerie, etc gets categorised into something really boring and the negative train sweeps over people. You'd find a ton of these modes actually really engaging compared to other games. The negativity then breeds to guns and armor. "Woopee, brand new content! A D1 Exotic". I'm sorry, but the people that argue they want more Destiny 1 things back moan when thats stuff is back thats it not new. Selective memory lapses happen all the time. They can't make a million guns each Season, but because there's not 100 guns brand new, they brand the entire season shite before trying out some of the 7-10 guns that are new and new activities that are on offer. And some are pretty crazy good. All in all, I totally agree with Power grind issues. I never look at the numbers anymore, only when I need to see if i'm high enough for an activity, which I think a good way to combat it would totally be putting more Hard modes in the game. Clive @Teenwolf25 has said many times as well as Chad @Riff Machine that make the Raids normal level accessible with unlimited revives and then Hard mode has limited revives at higher power levels. Match that reward and Bingo, stuff to grind for which works with getting higher numbers. Menagerie? Add a few extra bosses and levels. Reckoning? Add a few extra bosses and levels. Forges? Create different objectives to Rounds other than just throwing balls, like Niobe Labs has. Raids? Add new harder modes that have slight twist on each section. If they do things like they do above, then I think the Power Grind as we know won't be an issue. You logon, you have stuff to do. You get rewards from that stuff, you do harder versions of the activies. Oh, and yes it'll never be an MMO, i agree with that too. I don't want it to be. All I want is pretty much every activity to be able to have 6-8 people playing the same activity in the same Fireteam. How good would Patrol and other gamemodes be if they did this?! Personally, the reset to the world come September has me hyped because its kind of blowing up the stale world as we know it. I would much prefer it if every season they started to go back to old content and then work on improving and refreshing it. Good thread Gary. 👍

This has been a fantastic response everyone, don't underestimate how much I appreciate every single one of them ❤️ The poll will remain 'open' for a while so more people that haven't seen this yet can still contribute and give their thoughts. I'm going to get cracking on how to start each area of suggestion with everyone that has raised an interest. I'll try and set that up starting today and over the next 1-3 days so watch this space.

That AI element sounds ace. Not tried normal AC yet, does the same happen in that?

Tom @LordBaguette in his excitement in organising just missed off the RSVP addition which i've just added so you can RSVP on the event now all! Nice one for putting the next one up Tommy Batch Man 🤗

Honestly mate, it was way better than I expected because lately the newest games seem to not really support our bug FG Friday nights but it was such a good laugh. One in the Chamber is sooooooo good. So intense and funny at the same time, good change up and we needed another mode alongside Gun Game. I actually felt that the team games worked well too. Probably need to look at the settings and maybe set some specific games up so we can play that again. And shipment was just as insane as it usually is when we've played it on other CoDs 😂 Nice one Matt, the fact you put effort in beforehand and checked to see how to do the modes and custom matches massively helped - nice to see someone else think of a large MP game for Fridays which I appreciated very muchly 😄❤️

A little sneak pic to some trial stuff we've tried so far... ❤️

See and read the following post here first: Now select any or all of the above that you might want to help and get involved in. You can write more info below if there's you're thinking something is missing or want to explain what part you want to be involved in more. Thanks All!

Its been a while since I did an FG update. So bear with (with who? where is he! I can't see it!? ffs, Lee) I'm sure everyone's days are blending into one these days. 2020 has been one of those years for the history books and we could've said that in March, let alone December which is still just over 5 months away. Isolation has been a double-edged sword in some respect; its been great to see so many chances to spend more time with your immediate family at home but what comes with permanent home comforts is the lethargic lack of routine, loneliness, depression, anxiety which we've also seen impact so many of us. I imagine you all can relate to some degree? For a week or two I've wanted to write something but I've hesitated because I know I have to be ready to 'Walk the Walk' not just 'Talk the Talk' when I really want to make the most of this place for everyone and makes sense to pick up the things we've talked about over the past few years. Who knows if i'm ready, but i'm willing to give it my best shot and there's no better time to dust ourselves off in the midst of some soul searching in isolation. It'd be ace to start creating some of that Legacy i talked about in the article I did back in January. I think the best way to keep everyone in the loop is being open and letting you know a few pressing items I want to see progress with over the coming weeks and months - and I would love to get as many of you involved which I'm working on ways to get to that. Please keep reading! Merchandise Shop - this requires me to purchase and install a whole new section for FG which i'm hoping you'll all enjoy FG Points/Gamerscore - A way to have a meaningful way that gives everyone here an added bonus for being around FG where possible Creating new sections New entire page spaces for games - we can make as many as we'd like providing we can maintain support New homepage - to remind everyone of everything we do. We aren't just a Forum any more, we are far more awesome than that Expanding existing areas Guides & Tips section - the fairly new section needs some love and there's some amazing people here that do great info tips for you all that can easily get lost Re-engaging with old FGers - life's too short to miss everyone and its great seeing so many faces come back, lets do things to get other ones back too. For me its the case of, Why Not, you have nothing to lose seeing old faces and friends. Open our doors to new FGers - we should make more people aware of what we do best - they can have a home here and we can all help them in whatever problems they have. The PPR section just shows how much we have all done to help each other and long may that continue. Regular gaming nights schedule - to help people to keep themselves free, get involved and most importantly make sure the right game is updated and downloaded! Finding more ways to help others Picking up and driving some real charity fundraisers starting with charity streams Try to get a regular pattern on sending out Feel Good Fund parcels to caring FGers I'd hope you all agree whilst there's more we can always find to do, most importantly this is a ton to look forward to as a group/family. Other posts to follow but if you have any burning thoughts please shout up below - a poll will go alongside this post to ask absolutely anyone here if they want to get involved in any specific stuff in the coming weeks and months. Thank you for the last few months everyone; here's to having a better second half to 2020 for all of us 👊😎 GGFG

Brime has shown up a few days ago and has blown over the last few hours as a potential streamer competitive site. Not even a website just yet...
