I totally expected it Phil. Liverpool are so overrated its madness to think they could beat Spurs. I think its because they have a top personality manager which deflects from their pretty average team. Also, their form in europe will also mask their true form in the league.

Cool. Maybe see if we all around Tuesday then? If not, it'll have to be the Sunday once Stretch and I are back from weekends away. Just look up who your with and playing against like I have and get a conversation going. Sorry dude, I thought you'd seen it. If someone drops out or doesn't wanna play I'm sure one of the guys and gals will let you know.

The more I read about the conmections with Nokris and the Vex and how he has been wiped out of the history of the Hive, the more I think Nokris is the next Raid boss. Nokris and Savathun are the biggest known Hive lords left (Apart from Oryx that could be at the bottom of Titan's seas). There's a theory that Nokris could be trapped with the Vex but more to my thoughts are that Nokris has been surgically intergrated with the Vex and now is a leader of the Vex army. Specifically the one that's coming in the DLC this winter. This can also be a read across from the connection Eris Morn has with Asher Mir. Both have been surgically intergrated with the Hive and Vex respectfully. There's no real historic connection other than what has happened to them so for Eris to ask Asher about Nokris makes me think he has to be infiltrated with the Vex.

Nice Gary, may try that tonight then as I had an early night last night. Anyone else who wants a go at this tonight, I'm happy to run multiple times cos the reset tomorrow will probably bring a harder Nightfall to try and achieve the Prestige trophy.

The poll is open for another week. Once we know what people wanna do then we can get cracking on this years thoughts.

Not played enough to compare yet mate. However, I sense that DriveClub will be slightly better as I think Gran Turismo have done a great job with their UI to mask the way that races now work. DriveClub also has that 'club' side to it as well whereas this is purely for yourself. /thread derail but let me know if you fancy driveclub one night. I never got the chance to work on the FG club on there which would be fun.

Well after trying the races the other night with 7 of us, I must admit its not as great as first thought. Imo, it was the tracks and the constant changing that meant you couldn't really catch anyone up. It would be good to try it again if we ever have around 10 people. I think its more designed for 10+ racers. That and crispy being in a better mood to race

Good video about Nokris and the potential return. It's amazing how people find these snippets and can link the theories together. It would make sense when the Hive return for Nokris to lead them.

@Bruce, @The3rdWalker has this been fixed now?

Spamming X on the way down means you can go way further than usual in quick time. That's if you can hack the noise from the game wanting to deploy the umbrella and put it away again.

The game mode is enjoyable, to a point. The fact it is so carbon copy to last year that it doesn't hold me like the Uprising PvE event because at least that one moved around somewhat and different stages. This is just, hold the door mode, which means it loses the value of playing it loads (unless you need your arcade loot boxes I suppose). Would be nice for them to start considering if PvE content will remain available all year round. It feels stale as you have to binge on it for a small period whereas I'd probably play it once every now and again if it was available all the time.

This week, he’s near the The Rig fast travel point on Titan, and there’s a helpful icon on the planet map to show you where he is. Xur’s inventory this week consists of the following: Sweet Business, Auto Rifle: 29 Legendary Shards Raiden Flux, Hunter Chest armor: 23 Legendary Shards Doom Fang Pauldron, Titan gauntlets: 23 Legendary Shards Winter’s Guile, Warlock gauntlets: 23 Legendary Shards If you haven't got Sweet Business, well, you better go and get it then. Good alternative to the Coldheart and a Primary exotic. Doom fangs are okay, there's better exotics to equip on a Titan though.

Did the nightfall last night with @Diddums and @techno. Pretty easy as people have said, apart from mistiming the beams for 5 minutes Tried the Prestige version once, and we got to the boss even though we got stuck at one section. Its pretty doable so going to try prestige again tonight if people want to give it a go. Being able to spam grenades constantly makes the fight so much more fun and easier. It possibly helps if you are 300+ too as the damage was getting a bit too much in certain places.

Missus won't watch it, boo. Going to have to find some time around her when she ain't got the tv so I can catch up on this.

@tronic44, Rich, when do you think you have 15-20 minutes available to see if we can set our game up with @Stretch616 and @crispymorgan's son?

It certainly is a beautifully crafted racer. Only played some licences and an arcade race so far so its early days. I'm glad we have the licences still in the game. Its a big part of the core way GT works, and its good that they have linked to youtube for key videos to help understand what to do in each one. I'm on the fence with the way that the races work though. The licences are the career mode. You're then left with Arcade mode (vs AI) that looks initially like just a single race with defined cars to choose from. Then there's online races, which I imagine you use your cars you've purchased. I'm going to see if you can tune like you used to and what other customisation is in it. The picture mode though is ridiculous. I'll find some pics people have seen online and you wouldn't believe its not real. I'm excited to play the online mode to see if it will play well or if you get online trolls immediately.

Okay. So some decent news to come but If i'm honest, most people I see here may not think its great news because its not coming quickly and there wasn't mention of endgame content. They'll get hammered to bring Ice Hockey to the tower and not releasing new missions. Summary Torch has been passed from team who made Destiny 2 to the team that is maintaining it aka the Live Team. Live Team's goals: New reasons to keep playing New pursuites, rituals, and challenges. And more.. Examples: Iron Banner, Faction Rally's, etc. Expansion 1 - Winter 2017 aka Osiris DLC Destiny 2 year 1: 4 seasons total. All About Seasons Seasons have themes associated with them. They take feedback from the community for adding and adjusting things such as new emotes, rewards, etc. Season Goals: More predictable time tables (what to expect and when) Destiny 2 year 1: 4 seasons Make big changes to the game Sandbox tuning, new features, more content Big patches to change the meta, etc. Meant so you don't feel like you have to play Destiny ALL the time but instead can take at your pace and show up for important events. Season 2: When: Winter 2017 The Dawning will make a return shortly after the launch of Season 2. Ice Hockey will be enabled You can have snowball fights, plus other Easter Eggs Event affects will be throughout the world, not just the social space. Armor, Weapons, Shaders, and possibly emotes will come Iron Banner - What Bungie Learned: 1,500 YEARS worth of time played between all guardians. Learned how we interacted with the loot system. There will be changes to loot such as letting us direct purchase guns using tokens and legendary shards. The token economy is not always the best way for everything. For Season 2, there will be an ornaments slot requiring an objective to unlock to show that you completed a limited event objective. Such as winning 10 IB matches, Flawless in Trials of The Nine, etc Heard community feedback of wanting rewards more meaningful. One more Iron Banner in Season 1. Some new gear Perks and stats will be updated. There will be a matching energy and kinetic weapon so you can have one of each. Trials of The Nine There will be ornaments as well, not shown yet but "They look really cool" Updated weapons, both visual look and perks Faction Rally Data was tallied cross-platform. One more in Season 1 Screenshot For Season 2 there will be changes to promote playing with a fireteam more vs just solo. Meaning "I'm going to solo farm this as it's more efficient" won't always be the thing. This does NOT mean a nerf to solo, but rather a buff to fireteam aspects so that you can play with your friends instead of splitting off doing your own individual thing. Season 2 Facton Rally Faction Rally Armor can be earned by just playing and repping your faction. Dead Orbit NM FWC Weapons Clarion Call: When: Before end of Season 1 What: Double XP while playing activities with your Fireteam Pilot: Clan collaboration required Screenshot Bright Engrams All the emotes, and other rewards from it will be updated and changed Certain rewards from Bright Engrams will be retired making them limited/exclusive and not able to collect anymore, but if you already have it them you can keep it. New Mic Drop emote (thanks /u/Mblim771_Kyle) Fun Fact: Bungie has a recording studio that they record the emotes. New transmat effects will be available Exotic Ships Season 1 Season 2 - The Dawning Season 2 Example 1 Season 2 Example 2 Exotic Sparrows Season 1 Season 2 Example 1 Season 2 Example 2 Ghosts Example 1 Example 2 - Rotating the ghost causes a solar system effect to rotate behind it Example 3 Example 4 - Dawning Exclusive Shaders Shaders stay season over season (Unless Bungie adjusts down the line, no plays at the moment) They heard our feedback over deleting shaders in mass - On the to do list, no promises. Armor Changes in bright engrams when season changes New armor with new seasons Crucible Maps When certain rituals complete special maps goes live to entire circulation - Example Such as the Trials of Nine map (Eternity), Raid themed map (Emperor's Respite), Shores of Time (Destiny 1) themed map (Distant Shore), etc. Sandbox Tuning What is the sandbox? The playable space. Diagnosing the Meta - Data view They have data on basically everything you do such as most played subclass, weapon, what bullets fired from what weapon, usage of basically everything in game. They are always collecting, analysing, and using the data. With seasons they hope to make more ongoing adjustments to allow the meta to constantly adjust and not be stale. Clans Clans have a max level so that smaller clans have a chance vs only larger more active clans to dominate. Keeps everything on a more fair level. Clan rank resets at Season 2, as well as all season changes New perks to earn, targeted at what the game goals are (based on the Season themes) Clan rewards You can change the staff/bar in the middle based on clan rewards from seasons. Clan engram updates Make sure loot pool updates More Info Bungie will be at Paris Games Week next week https://Twitch.tv/Bungie will be going live soonTM with more info

Took the kids to Drayton Manor theme park for Daddy day care. Will be on tonight to share some bits on here.

Ahh, got you. Yeah, I really do cos it is an addictive game. I find it easier to learn on the PS4 version if I'm honest. Getting the basics down but then struggling with ideas what to build. Not made anything mechanical yet as I'm not sure what they all do.

I need to get that quest as I've not even picked it up yet. Might try it tonight if people are around.

I'm pretty convinced that whilst they talked about the reason being mainly the emote issue, it isn't that. You can see its been 'delayed' conveniently in line with when PC Trials launches. Thing is, the code releases are always 99% in contention with all platforms therefore to delay trials on PC they need to delay it on other consoles. Yes, they could remove the emote quicker and everyone knows that so they are just using it as an excuse imo.

4.30pm Pacific Time the stream goes live. Big stream that is pretty significant future for the future of this game I reckon.

I really need to get my sorry ass on here to check it out. Might try over the weekend, as Hayley is away and I can get the stupid long LAN cable out rather than my shitty WiFi. Where does the track take you?

Apparently Activi$ion have come out to confirm this model has never been used and it was a model concept created in 2015. Destiny community bod, Deej, also quickly came out to say its never been a part of any Destiny game. Problem is though, now we now they've created it, it cements the fact they are utter money grabbing bastards and loses any hope thinking Activi$ion will make a game without Microtransactions and putting themselves first.
