With the latest patch don't forget to leave space in your consumables for Masterworks cores as they might not go to the postmaster.

A number of things have been fixed since previous updates and most notably the decent ones are the chest farming that has been removed so you can now open chests more regularly and not be significantly penalised. I think after a period of time its drops to 30% of the usual loot but it's a step forward to where they need to be. The raid keys issues have now been resolved but that will now mean you will lose your keys at every reset again. With the latest patch 1.1.1.1 the known issues are below: Masterwork Weapon Cores are not properly forwarded to the Postmaster when dismantling Masterwork Weapons with a full consumable inventory. As we investigate this issue, we advise players to ensure proper inventory space prior to dismantling their items. Masterwork Multikills on Floating Enemies: We have verified an issue where multikills on floating enemies do not produce Orbs of Light as intended. This is currently under investigation. Quickplay Challenges: We have identified an issue where Challenges do not appear to players when they are entering Quickplay in the Crucible. Ikora Waypoint: We have identified an issue where players are witnessing a waypoint over Ikora when they do not have enough tokens for a reputation package. This is currently under investigation.

Following in Blizzard's path, Destiny will get its first Webcomic starting next week. First one is about Osiris when he was part of the Vanguard and how and why he was exiled. For lore fans like myself but hopefully people that enjoy any type of background story, this is a good move. If they're anything like the Blizzard ones with Overwatch these will definitely be appreciated. They'll be available for free on Bungie.net

I'm glad it's coming before Christmas. Also glad that Mayhem is back to change up Crucible a little bit.

I don't usually watch him, I actually have started to watch xHoundishx video updates in which there are many of. Haven't dropped one yet, and they are sounding like they are dropping more from planetory vendors than actual legendary random drops.

Now just because I'm still enjoying playing Destiny 2 and want to do the raid and new raid lair, I think it would be ace if as many of us could go back to Destiny 1 and arrange some times to play all 4 raids. I certainly would love to go back to the Wrath of the Machine as I only beat it once. As others have mentioned, starting new characters and finishing Age of Triumph book would be pretty cool too. Who's up for this?

We've only got £155 to go to be able to buy and give away to all you lot the list above. I've obviously not had any requests to add or change the list above. If so I need to know ASAP. A massive thanks to the generous donations so far. I'm really hoping it is worthwhile for all of you. I'm still open to suggestions on adding something like Assassin's Creed Origins or anything else if you prefer. Obviously, need to hopefully get a few more donations if we're going to get a chance to get all of the awesome stuff. I'll also put a poll up as a way of capturing what you'd like from the giveaway. Keep your eyes open for it.

Do you think its because Microsoft put pressure on them to get their one 'exclusive' title out before christmas to boost sales? That's what it smells like t me. A real shame. I wanted to actually have something to play on my xbox. Considering I know its miles better than Fortnite, I'll have to focus on getting my PC parts instead. They must fix it though. Regardless of how difficult as all games that make clear mistakes like this one are getting verbally battered out there, they must respond quickly and appropriately.

The new game modes look pretty neat I must say.

Hi Cal! Glad you're home dude, good games the other night too. Aren't you glad we let the newest person on GTA win all the races....

No fucking way, I'm with Rob, seriously thats looks pretty weird. Talking to a workmate and was going to look at downloading this whilst it's still pre-release on xbox but may need to re-think this.

I believe the game is good and solid. I had hoped for bigger lobbies but so far every night playing in a party has been quite enoyable, even if we have been beaten up in War for most of it. I don't think CoD should have that 'it's long dead' feeling anymore. You're only as good as your last showing - and this one is pretty good imo.

I agree Bob in relation to they acted quickly. We have to reiterate, this isn't new, the exact same thing happened in D1 and we didn't grumble too much then. The main reason why there's so much anger and backlash is because the content that was there was just too easy to rinse through. People's expectations are far higher of D2 than of D1 and rightly so. They expected improvements, not a feeling of scaled back from Y3 D1 game. They've had a serious reality check and you have to be critical of them. At the same time I don't think there's a problem to continually review what they are saying and where this game is going. I always said it was about how things land after this debacle and how they communicate. Communication is becoming very regular already which has to be a positive. I hope the backlash did what it needed to.

Arrekkz has done a decent video of what Masterworks are and do. It seems to be getting some initial good signs as it partially gives you a chance to re-roll a certain stat e.g. trying to find Rangefinder perk for a Shotgun and with an additional 10 power points. A little work still needs to go into the mod system that sits alongside it but I'd like to think its one step forward on this part so far. One point to note. Make sure you check all legendary drops before dismantling them now as they may roll a decent masterworks that you may want to keep rather than sharding it for a random perk to be added on an existing gun you have.

GazzaGarratt - PS4. You may want to nudge the lazy ones....

Let's remember it gets away with some because its still in 'pre-release' If i'm honest though, now its on a console I will consider looking to get it to try it out. I don't have many games on my xbox one so it would be good to test it out and wipe the dust off it.

What a player. What a face. [emoji23]

That's annoying. The theme park looked pretty cool to play.

I'm with Crispy when he says that he hoped that this would be the one game we wanted. The u-turns communication is great to see but now because of the changes the only thing they could do is effectively remove content from all players immediately to restore a level playing field. I was going to play faction rallies too from today. On what is more frustrating is that they had no choice but to take away some things that impact people who have actually BOUGHT the DLC. Its going to be rocky for possibly another month with holiday season upon us. The world and lore of Destiny is great but everything else around it is falling apart. Ffs Bungie.

Watched over half so far. Agreed with it too. I just get extremely disappointed when I keep hearing this stuff. I still think it has its place but not everyday anymore. Maybe that's what it should become - a game you play each week but 1/2 nights per week. That would get blown out of the water though if there was a standout MP coming out.

Hell yes it is, shame as I think it puts a number of people off it but it really is worth it.

. I felt the same Phil. I'll stick with it if the others are saying it gains momentum. That said the first few episodes gave a few 30 seconds of 'woahhhh, he came outta nowhere'

Pretty impressive. Especially as the game has been out for so long but now its growing by the numbers. Sponsorship quite high now Rob?

So it would be good to look into some raid lair times and original raid runs as well. Who now has the DLC or is intending to buy it? Happy to help organise some but would be really helpful to know who wants to be involved. Btw, same goes for strikes, adventures, trials, and anything else.
