  1. Crucible Labs was shipped with yesterday's update and the first time we get to see it is today when it becomes available in a separate playlist. They said on Bungie yesterday: As noted in our most recent Roadmap, Crucible Labs shipped with Destiny Update 1.2.1. While the content has been downloaded and installed on your platform, the feature is not yet available. PvP Design Lead Derek Carroll has some information to set proper expectations for the feature, and what to expect when it becomes available: After this, it was queried on Twitter to see if this extends to Sandbox changes. Here's the answer: Josh Harnick added to this to explain it would be difficult to bring a different sandbox to a live environment. I'm pretty disappointed tbh. They released this info on the day it was available so that tells me they knew it wouldn't go down well. It will still be fun if we get to play some truly different game modes but I hope its not just a control game with slightly tweaked spawns or subtle score changes. I can now see why they called it Crucible Labs rather than Destiny PTR, so more fool me to assume it meant that (as too the thousands that thought the same).
  2. I heard it was just a limited time item which makes sense I'd suspect it could change the game flow if it was a regular thing.
  3. The DARCI was immense on the Nightfall with an Arc singe modifier on, way more enjoyable to play sniper rifles with the sandbox and exotic updates. You have to make sure you wait for the scan in scope before shooting a critical hit. That's how you get monster damage. What other exotics is everyone else enjoying?
  4. The first two chests are a real breeze and drop you powerful gear so when we ever have 6 around we should make sure we jump in and get them. Probably will take about 20/30 mins. A side from that, we should get this running on nights where we have an hour spare. I think most of us will require the practice at killing Argos.
  5. Sunbracers now allow you to spam 5 GRENADES when the perk procs. That's a real bonus on PvE and maybe a pain in PvP IF they manage to activate it.
  6. 6 exotic armour pieces received changes with the update today. Some really good changes to Synthoceps and a few other key pieces. There should also be more to follow later in the year which will be a nice addition. Hunter Mechaneer’s Tricksleeves While you are critically wounded, swapping to a Sidearm increases its damage (2x in PvE, 1.33x in PvP). The Dragon’s Shadow Dodge reloads all weapons simultaneously. Dodging now also grants +5 mobility for the duration of Wraithmetal Mail, in addition to its previous benefits. Added a UI indicator for the Wraithmetal Mail buff. Titan Lion Rampant Hipfiring no longer interrupts Lift. Increased hipfire accuracy while airborne. Synthoceps Now grants a flat melee damage bonus for 8 seconds when you are surrounded by three or more enemies (3x in PvE, 2x in PvP). This buff also increases Super damage while active (+50%). Warlock Lunafaction Boots Now allows your Rift to continuously reload weapons while you or allies stand in it. Empowering Rift grants a boost to weapon range and aim assist. Sunbracers Solar melee kills now grant unlimited Solar grenade energy for a short duration.

  8. So Step 4 is the easiest of the lot with 5 Precision multikills without reloading and 20 kills with the Prototype, although I found that random kills with another scout I had equipped got it knocked out. What's more surprising is that it gives out the Exotic Polaris Lance! So the guesses can come in for what Step 5 is. Most likely leads to the Masterwork for the weapon OR opens up 43 unique quest lines across each planet. (one can dream 😛)
  9. @tronic44 do you need a main place to pick teams? If you do I could get the one we use at our work that my friend made. Essentially its the Telegraph one but I can get a spreadsheet where we can keep it all locked down and separate - and free to enter which is pretty key
  10. No probs matey, i'll be on tomorrow if you need to do stuff.
  11. I'm in. Need to know how you're doing this @LordBaguette and what's the prize money for top spot. As we need 32 people, we'll need some more interest too! Maybe 16 of us with 2 teams instead?
  12. Has anyone dropped one of these yet?
  13. I've been around mate, just keep missing paths I think. I should be able to help tonight or tomorrow. May have a few OW games around it.
  14. Just a heads up - helping Rich work up a plan. Likely to be a 1 once a week for 6 weeks thingy. Wil try and finish it tonight!
  15. Agreed its shit. However, I'd argue there tons of stuff we can do around this time of the year. GTA friday idea was such an easy one, it was more making it clesr we're gonna stick to it that's got it going. Perfect opportunity to explore different and funny challenges. Otherwise we all just get lazy and stuck in a rut - our favourite hobby!
  16. For what? The teams that have been chosen or the autocorrect list? Or both?
  17. We got a raid going late last night on PS4 with @Adolf Sheekster, @Bluebear, @Rico, @reaper-2201 and @Horrible_Hector. Considering 3/4 of only done it once or twice, Nick never done it as well, we cruised through Baths and Dogs whilst learning the stages. Completed the Dogs Challenge for this week too. Then came the Glitchy Gauntlet. A few of us hadn't done the stay on your own plate go but after a few tries it just started to glitch in enemies and not spawn the orbs on another. We made some errors but that's part of getting it right for next time. We finally nailed it pretty easily and moved on to Calus with @igotmollywhopped as Frank had to go. Tried it a few times but it was approaching 1am for me and I think we did enough for one night. I agreed stupidly to stay on to do the first stage of EoW raid lair as its just jumping...after 4 deaths by falling asleep with the controller in my hand we decided to call it. Nice everyone, was great to get back into it. Need to do more runs as the ones that haven't done it much will get even better. If people are around to finish Calus later, I'll hopefully be on UK evening time. GGFG.
  18. Superb goal by Bale. Fair play to him, he really is the real deal. As for Liverpool you can't rely on just one player to get you through it. It is a shame that Salah went off for his World Cup dream but the team as a whole were never good enough to beat Real Madrid. As I said before, it would have left a sour taste in the mouth that a team that finished 4th could've been called 'Best in Europe'.
  19. Good going Rob. What Power level were the FGers? I feel like 5/6 seems right when you get nearer 385. I just hope Bungie realise that just because people may clear it easier and with 3 people at Power 385, we're all enjoying another activity that's separate to raids that can have a larger party. This is where I think they miss the point of the 'dream' and 'reality'. Yes, many don't do raids at all but thats not because they don't want to. What keeps the game alive is that they think they'll get the chance at some point. More activities like this please.
  20. What the fuck did I just watch? So I'm totally with the fact that Dr. Strange knew what he was doing when he passed the stone over. @TigerBurge, yeah that's one hell of a shout. I mean this in the nicest way but that would fit the stereotypical big box office american film ending. For something like this though that would be perfect. Btw. I am NOT happy Starlord has been taken away. He absolutely keeps the series ticking with his humour so they really better be a way to get them all back. I geniunely was struggling to think how to turn back time if Dr. Strange has gone too. Oh, and who was Nick Fury calling at the end of the credits.
  21. What the F... did i just watch?! I have too many questions and I'm really not sure how I feel. Clearly it's an AMAZING film...I feel a little deflated as much as I feel awesome now I've watched it.
  22. Not sure how to get EP drops from the chests from rounds 3 and 5. You need a charged key (turns legendary and you can see it has 7 arrows on it for charges; 1 charge per round) to open the final round 7 chest. This is after you kill the boss though. That is a definite EP loot drop. Yeah, I'm not sure about this. Top end players will be able to do it. Gigz did it nearly at max level but haven't heard anyone else to do it. I think what it will tell us that the optimum size for most players will be between 3 and 6. It's more frustrating that you can't just jump in easily with friends. I've always wanted more larger group activities - problem they have is on Patrol everything else would be easily rolled with more than 3 players in a group. I think there is grounds to at least trialling the fireteam size to 4 going forward and then seeing what happens.
  23. I do like the BF ticket system they've had previously and it would be great to see larger war style games. I think the market is crying out for a game that can hold up well on a console in a squad size thats larger than 6. 8-10 per squad would be amazing.
  24. How's everyone doing with Step 3? I've got 2 strikes to do still. Let us know if you need help with any steps you're doing.
  25. Yeah, it seems a game that you may pick up once in a while. Nice concept like Heavy Rain but not sure it will do well in the current climate of MP games dominating.
