Cheers both - tbh, I try here first before I go google. More because I trust your opinions more. First googling found a few, I'll see what Dax likes the look of and report back.

How many have signed up to GameBattles @Stretch616?

How is the new one Rich? Planning on trying the first one again if you're around this week?

Looks it so far. Are we saying they physically can't make it any better for Xbox? I don't see many people playing these types of games on their phone though. You need games that are quick toilet seat games in the main.

Happy Sunday people Haevn't done one of these for a while so thought it would be good to do one. This one will be brief this time round, as I think it's been a quieter month in general. We've had half a dozen newbies to the place, only seen a few say hi though which we should always encourage so we can all get to know you and vice versa. I haven't had much time around work to organise some game nights like we usually do - I equally believe that the Destiny saga followed by a lack of MP games that haven't offered much in grouping up and 'fun' equal to a month where we focus on other things a little more. We've still got the 2018 plans up so on the radar is working out a charity date for a 24 hour stream. From today we'll try and make some game events so it may help stem some grouping up and certain things. However, i'm more interested to know how you're year has started - been a busy one? How should we inject some fun around the place? What different things should we all try? I've seen a few posts and threads on a similar theme so let's get some talking going and understand what the score is from a gaming and personal fronts. As always, love hearing what you've got to say. Keep fighting the FG fight y'all. Lee

Bloody pikeys! I'll try and get on little by little as we go on, then I might set a trap for them to tell them to keep their distance [emoji6] Via the FG App

It's a start but I really need to think about how I exactly I want my house to look like! If I'm honest I don't trust Dax on our server mate, he also loves creative because he can do whatever he likes. He loves mainly killing sheep and blowing shit up. He did teach me how to do some awesome traps yesterday though! Maybe one day he can come on [emoji106] Great shout, thanks Greboth. As Mike said in the general event thread he started, tonight we'll make some events for the rest of the week and see how it pans out, this game included. Via the FG App

Happy birthday Alex!! Via the FG App

A Sombra early PTR change snook in to the latest patch but has since been removed. However, now we know some of the info related to the next change to her as well as a small change to Mei: Sombra The plan is to bring down the power of Sombra’s ult while making the rest of her abilities more widely useful. No longer gains ult from health pack healing Weapon Spread decreased by 10% Hacking speed increased from 0.8s to 0.65s Hacking will disable more abilities. Basically any ability that requires a button press will also be disabled. Here is a list: Genji - Double Jump/Wall Climb Pharah - Hover Jets Hanzo - Wall Climb Lucio - currently running Crossfade song will be disabled Fucking Hot Healing Chick! - Angelic Descent Mei Balance change to see ammo cost for her icicle shot reduced from 25 to 20 I like the thinking of these changes. A good Sombra destoys the opposition with her Ult and its better to have a viable option in 1 on 1 battles outside of ults.

Does anyone know of any good seeds they've used to create Minecraft worlds? Looking at making a few with Dax so looking to keep him entertained for a while.

Raid Prestige is Changing Reason for delay of release is down to this rework. My view is I think as they have an issue with 1) lockout issues related to non-DLC 2) need more reasons for playability Each week they'll be one Prestige raid at random. They will be a curated locked loadout. An example of what it could look like is below Week 1 Raid Activity: Eater of Worlds Modifier: Marksman. Precision damage is increased. Landing a precision shot grants one ammo directly to the magazine. Required Loadout: Kinetic: Hand Cannon Energy: Scout Rifle Power: Linear Fusion Another decent idea but there should be a way to incorporate multiple prestige challenges at once so you have different choices each week.

Nightfalls will have 3 parts - Scoring, Challenge Cards and Rewards. Scoring - Scoring is team-based and the sum of individual performances. - A team should be able to focus on what works best, not feeling put out by who stole whose kill. - Scoring is primarily driven by kills and secondarily by orb generation. - Score bleeds over time. We are watching this closely — score decay can feel bad, but all else being equal, a team that clears faster than another team should score higher. Score decay achieves this in the most transparent fashion. - Scoring cuts off after time thresholds. At 15 minutes, new points earned are reduced by 50%. At 18 minutes, you stop earning new points and it’s a race to finish the run and post your score. They want to avoid some of the problems they saw with Prison of Elders, where a “high score” might involve punishing respawning combatants (and yourself) for a few hours until the novelty wore off. A good Nightfall clear shouldn’t feel like a slog. They want it to be a competitive activity but when released it is just scoring. My guess is ranked scoring may come in May. Challenge On top of the above mechanics are Challenge Cards, items that offer ways to boost the challenge in exchange for score multipliers. It looks as like the Challenge Cards will attach to your Ghost slot. Not sure if you can get more than 1 at any one time. Rewards - Scores will be retained on new Nightfall Emblems available as drops in each Nightfall strike. - These emblems (and others like them) are now the source of auras, which are automatically enabled if your personal score is above a global threshold. - Along with the aura, a personal score over the threshold will also unlock a fireteam-wide buff that boosts Vanguard Token drops in that strike by 25%. - As long as one person has the aura, all fireteam regardless of completion will get the buff. - They've also added some further rare variants of these Nightfall Emblems for higher scores. Nothing much is known hoe different these are. My thoughts - Another decent addition. Makes use of wasteful auras. Still needs to be linked to a leaderboard or something else to make worthwhile, most likely in May.

Has anyone been watching the Opynpics so far? It's something I've always liked watching but don't have much knowledge of the sports. Curling is one of my favourites to watch, would love to give it a go.
