Not gonna lie, mate at work just played a game next to me and it was actually way better than I expected. Looks pretty smooth, hit registration was on point. Controls work quite well considering it's on a phone. I imagine it's even better with one of those bluetooth controllers. Unfortunately, there was quite a few monetization ad-style overlays between games that you have to skip. Obviously want you to invest in it but for a free game on your mobile it could be worth a few games if people do play on their phone quite a bit. Cant believe I'd say a mobile game would be better than half decent, but it is.

Out now for Android and iOS.

I believe it's actually EDZ this week. But yeah, it's always been the case that when the Flashpoint rotates to a place you dont own you may not be able to do it....however all free players get access to all destinations so I imagine you can?

Yep, all new people that just go for the free version will still get patrol access to every destination. And yeah, the moon has been revamped super well. Its very eerie too, really cool and dark feel. I feel a first impressions thread coming along.... Any others in for the game?

Don't hate me...but I never played it as a kid. Only when I was older and now own a N64. I'm glad it was loved so much though - just couldn't get a hang of the weird ass controller! Would be a good game to remake for a current gen console though.

That won't go away just because of this game. The great thing about that one is there is a lot of us that already own it. And that you can have big parties within it.

Thanks @Shucker. Looks like the Moon Flashpoint won't activate until you do some missions and elements of Shadowkeep.

Such a shame as Poch was starting to really make strides imo. The whole Eriksen will he stay or go at the start of the season for me has had a massive impact on that team,

Yeah, the servers have took a battering. Looks like emergency checks happening with servers turned off. @TigerBurge and me managed to stay onsnot fast travel anywhere so got play the Moon for a little while longer but it really needs a night to sort out how unstable it is. Fingers crossed all will be fine tomorrow. Nice though to see a ton of people here trying to get on. I think at one stage i was aware of 15 FGers trying to get on the PS4.

It's out near the end of the month so let's get a roll call going to see who's in and who might not be! I'm absolutely in. I think theres a ton of scope for great big private matches too which could be a lot of fun as per usual. Who else? If not, tell us why not?

Here's the deal tbh. There's no need to sacrifice your life to grinding away for Power. You will automatically be drawn to it but the entire free stuff would keep you busy separately if you want to try out all the different gamemodes. Clearly the regulars will be wanting to get into the Moon and new content but whats great is we can play all the other stuff now with everyone else - and more importantly help each other get certain awesome weapons and beat hard activities. For an example, you'll get the Menagerie for free, a 6 player activity which is slightly down from a raid, however we played it on Heroic difficulty where the whole team can't wipe and it was one of the hardest things i've ever done. Great thing is though you can take your time, no revive timer and makes for some real clutch moments. You don't have to do the stuff you've already done if you don't want to. Basically its in the first picture in the OP but all you've done is small box - Red War campaign. You could: Do more story Curse of Osiris DLC (not great story but nice grind for some osiris weapons and an awesome Search for Saint-14 quest with it) Warmind DLC (One of the best search and find treasure games with finding music boxes and some exotic quests too. Better story than Osiris DLC Forges with 2 others to get some of the best weapons. 3 rounds of beating PvE enemies, ways to get some tasty exotics. Can reroll some great guns. Pulse Rifle is decent, machine gun is in the top heavies to own. Also has a rare Shotgun that is the one to own (Threat Level - i still haven't got it yet) Gambit Prime aswell as Gambit. This is so different to any PvP game i've ever played. Really mixes it up and if you love PvE makes you want to play it with the twist of screwing up someone elses game by going to the other teams realm and killing their team. Linked to Reckoning when you play Prime. Another different PvE activity. Against a clock, quite challenging enemies, 3 tiers. Make your way through different sections that you need to be work well with your 4-man team. Lots of supers, lots of shit everywhere. Good fun. Also you do this to get themed gear sets for Gambit Prime so you get further boosts and perks in Gambit Prime. I have a whole set that looks like Master Chief in Halo. Menagerie is one of the best 6 player activities they've created. Matchmade, can't really fail it unless you play Heroic. Guaranteed way to roll specific loot you want. Also should be to do the tribute hall i imagine. Like a shooting range but also hunt for triumphs. Not sure if you can access it as its Year 2, but Bad Juju exotic pulse rifle is obtain through here. Leviathan Raid. If you don't usually run raids it can be quite time consuming but fun when you nail a section. Massive space and needs a co-ordinated team. Not as good as D1 raids but still worthwhile completing for the challenge part Nightfall Specific Loot All Pinnacle Legendary weapons to chase through quests in Crucible Strikes (Vanguard) Gambit Oh, you can also roam every single destination, even if you can't do some of the quests, adventures, missions, etc that are there. I think thats pretty cool as you can experience the world doing public events and hopefully try one of the seasons if you fancy it. So, yeah theres some stuff left to do on the map 😄

😂😂 Bungie 😂 That info is correct but also what Gary posted above about the artefact is spot on too. 960 is the value you can cap out at however you then use the Artefact to essentially have unlimited power. I've not actually seen what the power looks like to distinguish your Guardian is above 960. @techno you got any screenshots of it to share mate?

On the TWAB on Thursday (see other thread) it states: Soft Cap 900 Hard Cap 950 Pinnacle Cap 960 It looks like we are going to be going back to a similar pattern within Destiny 1 which was something that really pushed everyone to keep playing (Remember being forever level 29?!) Once people hit that 950 level which we kind of do now, we will be looking at the specific Pinnacle rewards more often rather than trying to figure out what the hell to play out of all the activities now available. There won't be many Pinnacle reward avenues so that is also likely to push us back raiding which i'm dead excited about. We also can't underestimate what the New Light free to play base game now will do to the game. It may not feel too different to us veterans personally, however it will mean pretty much everyone here and anyone else that didn't really try it essentially get a full game of updates across 2 whole years for free. Oh, and @Plumbers Crack you didn't say if you were in or not?! (It may be obvious but, you know, just checking 😉)

I actually agree with you, these days nearly every game has issues at launch and will always need a patch or two to stabilise the game. However, I don't think it'll have major issues, just a bunch of tweaks to happen. This beta showed that it's in a pretty decent state considering the pap we've seen in other game betas.

I really need to update this again. I only went away because I had grinds to do on other games, it was still well balanced when I played in Season 1. @J4MES OX4D, is this a brand new map or the same map but just updated?

@TigerBurge is right @Jason, this will be worth it considering you'll only need to buy CoD alongside it. From this update I am a bit gutted pinnacle weapons are going. The grind for those keep you going sometimes but I understand it if they make exotics the real 'pinnacle' weapons. I hope they are decent god rolls still though for these legend aries.

So I think it's time to see who's actually thinking of getting stuck into Shadowkeep and whos considering coming back for the free version? The below graphics show some facts about what is free and also what you get for buying the standard Shadowkeep pack and then with the additional pass - deluxe version. I'm really hoping we can rejuvenate the clan part again and really start getting stuck into all the activities going on as there'll be even more to do come Tuesday. So who's in and for what bit?!

Sounds promising. I can only imagine loot boxes but without guns which is middle ground. Then it's back to the telling the dumb people to stop buying them.

The free base version is up on 1st October isn't it?

Sorry, do you mean Shadowkeep? A lot of content will become free to play but Shadowkeep is $30. $50 version gets you Shadowkeep and the next 4 seasons, essentially for $5 each. You can buy those seasons al a carte, at $10 each if you want to do that instead. Theres a good pic I'll share shortly when I ask who's getting it and who's joining later.

Such a good move to now have most activities that were accessible on Patrol now all through the Director. I think I'll be playing more activities now such as Forges. PITA having to patrol first. Puts me off. Huge update this was. I still haven't finished digesting it.

Yeah I used that as the test and it seemed to work without anything being meddled with. I think sometimes we have moments of downtime on certain applications. Usually for most things, a refresh of the site, a quick repost or copy/paste of the link can sort it. Removing the format helps too alot of the time. Cheers for this James, need to keep knowing this stuff is happening so we can raise it with the hosts if we have continued issues!

We had this debate before (or I did anyway) on something else. I get the sentiment but unless you can start a wave of gamers not buying the game whatsoever, it really wont make a dent into Activision if you only don't buy the game. I think a much better route would be to fly the flag for the loot box gambling law to be pushed through ASAP, like Tom @LordBaguette said. Activi$ion won't stop making and publishing games anytime soon but through law changes and other initiatives, they are more likely to culturally change their business for the better. You'd hope anyway.

Seems to be working now @J4MES OX4D. Thanks for letting us know.
