Last few nights on Destiny have been really enjoyable and chilled. Just what I needed lately. I managed to get my first Last Wish Raid done with @Horrible_Hector @igotmollywhopped @Capn_Underpants @reaper-2201 and @Rico. Every phase we lucked out and did on our first try apart from the very end heart run which was on the second try. Really good to start to learn and I don't think we're far off getting it down regularly so we have some initial sherpas for all of us. @SensaiNemesis and @Amnotright joined them for another run which I'm sure they managed to nail after I went to bed. Chilled bounties and Crucible tonight, mixed in with helping some others that haven't had chance to go into the raid some practice at the first boss. @crispymorganhelped me explain the boss but unfortunately we didn't do it but has helped get more mechanics down for others next time. @Diddums wrecked in Crucible. That shoulder charge for 40 kills was hilarious. In fact we all did well, @Nutcuttlit @Misneach_ @Kemp210 had decent games in a group. Jade Rabbit dropped for me, had the catalyst from a separate game so I tried it and actually was pretty fun trying out a Scour Rifle. Definitely slower play but rewarding nonetheless. Then some Gambit with @Misneach_ @Kemp210 and @VGon_BGon48. Justin's first try at Gambit and out second game was on point. Managed to get two 4-kills invading that helped Kempy get to just one now needed for his Malfeasance. Matt got some much needed Powerful gear too. Thanks all for the last 2 days. Hopefully it shows above what fun can be had and how many of us are still doing so much to help each other. Cheers.

What was your first unlock? What are you looking forward to unlocking - a perk or weapon? I'm undecided atm. I usually go for a perk like Dead Silence but then I'd love to have the Swordfish but also hear good things about the Vapr.

Early beta info doesn't sound promising. I really don't know how Microsoft can deal with this issue perfectly fine yet Sony have advised that the name changes (in beta mode still, may not be in live) will come with the following risks: Not all games and applications for PS4, PS3, PS Vita, and other PlayStation systems support the Online ID change feature. If you change your Online ID, you may lose access to content (including paid-for content) that you have acquired for your games, including content like add-ons and virtual currency. You may lose your progress within games, including game saved data, leaderboard data and progress toward trophies. Parts of your games and applications might not function properly, both online and offline. Your previous Online ID(s) may remain visible to you and other players in some places. This list is seriously mental. I've been a big advocate of Sony and their PS4 of how simple the UI is and other interactions are, but this is totally unacceptable. I don't think many would change their name if you may lose saves files and DLC.

@Dan94 @techno @Baabcat reset your scores

Anon the Nine is prolific leaker of Destiny news months before it happens and apparently he hasn't gone anything wrong yet. Haven't read the link but I do know he's suggested that Europa is the new planet where we'll all go in D3 and that it has Open World PvPvE experiences. Essentially, Patrols like you have today but instead of seeing randoms just in your instance, these could be Guardians of Light where you could be using Darkness Classes that could kill them along the way. A really interesting way to take Destiny and can definitely see that happening if you follow the story and lore.

Hi Gaz, we're starting to get there as a community. The first few people have got their raid completions so likely going to be easier to take newer people through one at a time to start with. Maybe 2 up to Riven. I'll look at others levels and see if we can get some raid times up.

It was clearly our party set up [emoji12] I think you need to take advantage of it at some point soon and join in....

Let's face it, it had to come out at some stage and it's a completely different genre to those games - unfortunately paying top dollar for this and those is usually the issue. Maybe an Xmas present would be nice [emoji4] I've seen that it has a customisable character option and people have been making some amazing new characters! I hope that's on the console version.

Looks like an early view with quite a lot of it still covered that you should have to unlock over time. It really does look massive which I'm guessing we all expected and want from a game like this. I do wonder what landmarks will be on there, whether they put in some real life historical locations as nice Easter eggs.

I've managed to change the background colour - the background picked for the default forsaken picture had a light colour lower down. All fixed now. I'll look to reset yours as its only abit of fun.

I think it is if you 1) want a guaranteed 600 Power level gun 2) want a fairly easy grind to get it 3) a decent AR that is slightly better than Origin Story which can still do some damage in PvP. It's all about the reviving, I agree Gary. The idea of the bounties is that it offers choice. Some will be a little off but you work out what is more rewarding if that's what matters to you and focus on those. I really don't think this is a hard grind at all. Exactly this. They've thought about it and put the higher rewards around the stuff that is more exciting to do. And the fact that they know it's only a 3 week event, a few cosmetics to chase for abit of fun, and it's free. No point in putting a huge grind linked to it. We've also got the questions that comes next Tuesday, with the hope of getting the lightly exotic THUNDERLOOOOOOOOORD as a reward. Really excited for Machine Guns coming back.

Damn it! Bloody colour scheme. Okay, I'll have to have a look but it shouldn't have been different from all the others as I haven't changed. I'm sure it's a setting I'll just have to play around with. (Clearly you all just wanted a reason to be shit at it 😜)

Thought I'd ask what people have aimed to use when starting out on Black Ops 4? This may help people that pick it up now and are levelling up their first prestige, like myself. I've gone to the ICR AR to start out. Seems to do reasonably well now I've added some attachments like grip. In the standard configured loadouts I really enjoyed Swordfish. It's burst for me is close to the M8 in BO3. However, it unlocks at level 55 for Custom Classes.

I watched Django on Sky Cinema last night and it didn't disappoint. The German was phenomenal in it and Jamie Foxx really does a top job as Django. Brilliant Western.

I'm likely to be on it tonight for abit as the update took far too long yesterday.

Quizzes are in the menu - at the top on PC, in the burger menu on mobile browser. A limitation of the FG App and Tapatalk is it only shows the forum, not everything else at our home. Hopefully we can change that in the future one day.

I'm going to start adding my contributions this week, starting with multiple quizzes for funsies. Call of Duty Quiz number 1 is up and hoping to get multiple ones for each game, clearly all funsies and bragging rights 😁 Any help to boost the sections above would be awesome over the next week. Many thanks FG.

Good to know Bob. I'll be starting my grind for all the stuff this week. Thanks Nev. @techno Is right though about IB, you really don't notice much difference. I don't think it's a bad call. You have to have something that makes you think about how you play otherwise they'd probably have to make the redrawn timer much longer. Looks like it is abit of fun for a few weeks, we'll try and party up to get us to 7.

Well done to the FGers that finally managed to beat Riven in the new raid over the weekend! Make sure you all pick up the Raid engram that's at Hawthorne and pass on your thanks. Nice work guys, hopefully the first of many for FG 👊❤ @Horrible_Hector @Amnotright @SensaiNemesis @igotmollywhopped @Rico @reaper-2201

I think you might find people will have a problem with Shoulder Charge Titans... I won't though 😁 We went to Dave but as its not something you can all buy from the Collections there and then (as they're Year 2) we went through to see what was available. I'd try anything though, just need to pre-warn people if it's Year 2 gear or even Exotics. White guns was a shout from @Bluebear which I'd be up for.

So we tried out the Private Match modes last night and I think it was definitely good fun. Also good that you can get 6v6 aswell. We did mostly normal settings on Control, however we did one game with Sidearms only which was good fun until somebody *cough @techno* used a Super then someone *cough @Diddums* got a double kill with a rocket launcher! 😂 Still was hilarious as hell though! It's a shame you can't restrict people a little further either by stopping supers and/or specific types of guns but there's enough you can think of to give it some variation. Cheers all for the laughs, what do you reckon next time? @Diddums @techno @Misneach_ @crispymorgan @Amnotright @Bluebear @Nutcuttlit @DarkArch3typ3 @tronic44

The first was one of my best Beat Em Ups of all time. The Story mode that was across the entire map looked incredible and I really hope they replicate some of this stuff because it made fights way more varied. I used to play Siegfried on that game and it made the Dreamcast a much better system having it. Are they doing exclusive characters for each console like they did back in the day? I know that The Witches is supposed to be one but not if that's a universal one.

Time for people to really consider External Hard Drives if they haven't already!

Better than Outlaw and Kill Clip? Must be pretty good then. I was thinkingbabout sticking a Coubter-balance mod on it and then trying it out.
