Ello everybody! I eluded to doing this in the September update and its something I came across that happened 4 years ago in fact. Dave did something great for this community and in the 3 ish years I've been here it's absolutely what we're all about. Original links below. I think it's the best thing we can do for each other on things we all love. I'm expecting to do this via a raffle system either similar to the previous way or if we can get something special on FG to show it all of then we'll try to do it that way but that's dependent on getting things installed and time. Let's start seeing how many things we can get hold of to giveaway to each other. I'm initially going to source as much as I can find. I appreciate any donations on this one. It doesn't have to be cash, it can be the actual gift if you have something to offer. I want people to be a part of this just as much as I'm me. I'm personally thinking of the following types of gifts: PSN Vouchers Xbox Live Vouchers Steam Vouchers Destiny 2 DLC Overwatch Loot Boxes Rocket League Loot Boxes League of Legends Vouchers GAMES!! PC Keyboard Anything else gaming related So let me know what ideas you've got for gifts but also anything you can offer! I really hope we can make this a great Christmas for us all this year and it can be a great thank you for everyone being an awesome family here. This is for all FGers, old AND new. We're a family, remember that. So get involved! Much love, Lee x

I forgot to say I got that last night so I'm really happy about that. I think there's a high chance you'll be getting it the way things are dropping. Anyone know how many are on offer this time round? @TigerBurge good tips on the mods for the pulse and challenges. Do you mean just the recoil mod and mods on armour to support that gun?

As I thought, guns are dropping everywhere but the elusive Armour must be on a lower % chance to get it. Hoping it ramps up getting to the end of Banner. It's the first time I've wanted armour really badly in D2.

What's the major differences this has to Fortnite?

7 packages so far. All guns, no fecking armour. Also, still no AR as I've had duplicate hand cannon and fusion rifles. Games wise it's been great though. Great to have mostly full FG parties. Only experienced a tiny bit of lag from one random on the other side so far. Best map I enjoy is the one that was on the beta. Others seem okay, just a little annoying in sections. Would be nice to have a few more maps in rotation.

Bart hit the nail on the head. It was also mentioned in Unknown Players video today that it is a better base game than D1's base game. So that's why I'm feeling lost but not entirely down because we will get all that content imo. The dealbreaker is how long we have to wait.

I keep seeing the ads on Netflix and I'm getting really intrigued by it. Now you've seen it and said that, I think I need to convince the wife to watch this. She just doesn't like Sci-fi that much.

Lolz. I'm trying to look past the obvious annoyance that they are same as other guns but reskins. I mean all guns are comparable but to make them look exactly like the others annoys me somewhat. At least the Armour is unique. You watch it doesn't drop as often as guns for most people now.

What? Hang on, so you're telling me you play the game, get loot boxes, obtain virtual non-essential in-game attire, then you sell it off to randomers that want to buy those fetching pink jeans? This is ridiculous.

How I have missed Iron Banner. Such good games, back on Control where it belongs. Got some great wins in with @Diddums @techno @Capn_Underpants @Rico and @Misneach_. I think it had a decent balance all round. Dropped the Sidearm and Hand Cannon so far, no armour drops yet. The new map based on Shores of Time we struggled with initially. Best probably just to hold B and C on that map and let them come to you.

Max Clan Level 6 Achieved! Well done FG!

I suppose with bounties I was too damn lazy and forget most of the time tobpick them up. Challenges help me personally but it would be nice to see a full view of them, like the old quest tab. I miss that shit tons. Raid gear, I'm agreeing with you that it needs special perks. Just not raid specific perks. I want gear to be transferable to other activities. For example,a perk that helps you significantly reduce the damage when Momentum is activated in Nightfalls so it keeps you going to other activities. I never once cared for the raid gear perks in D1 as it was always about highest light got me through it and Discipline/Intellect cooldown. Yep, crucible is subjective. Its why I've always loved it and adding one of my favourite game modes with SnD (Countdown) is just what I wanted. Its PvE endgame content and lack of 6 player content that is my gripe.

Yeah but Fortnite doesn't cost a penny. It's got one goal for one game mode. I'm unexpectedly enjoying it right now because its fresh. It's not a long lasting game for me though. Just a fun pick up and play game but only with others, for me.

I've added some extra times across this week for the raid, some in UK and US evening time. Also added trials on the weekend. Not put too much on considering its Iron Banner and previous experiences was that we did play this most of the week to try and grind for the gear. Happy to others up if you have different times. Please have a look if you can and let us know if you can or can't make them. Thanks everyone. P.S. If anyone is around to get me through Calus too this week, that'd be grand

Oh ffs, I knew they were but there was high hopes considering the archetype of the gun. Auto Rifle it is then. Knowing me i'll drop 3 Grenade Launchers

Wasn't Lady Efrideet the vendor for Iron Banner at the end of D1? I thought she was an Iron Lord? Look at the description for Lord Saladin.

Personally I enjoy crucible and I don't get the bounties if i'm honest. I don't miss them as they were a serious PITA to go and get them from the Tower every fucking time I wanted to play. In the end I just blanked them. They only worked well in Iron Banner. Raid perks on gear should be there but not raid specific perks. That's pointless imo and never understood it in D1. If I beat the raid with the stuff I have on, why the fuck would I want new gear that lets me beat it easier? Hard raid maybe? but the level cap goes up and we can beat it without that stuff. Give us unique perks like Exotics used to have. Nearly every exotic piece of gear has been dummed down apart from Orpheus Rigs for the Hunter. It's a little too 'same playing field' if you asked me to be uber critical.

Armour looks amazing. Not sure about the guns. The Pulse Rifle and Auto Rifle are the ones I want to drop the most.

I haven't got a base yet so fine with me. Also, great shout to get co-ordinates again. I'm thinking that we can put up the map on here with marker to everyone's home and key waypoints. We can update as regularly as we want then. Can anyone do this at all?

Okay. Let's see who is looking to get it and who isn't. Personally, the beta weren't all that bad and I buy games now to play socially more than ever before, so I'll be buying this. I think it has way more playability than IW ever has. Won't be playing it extensively, but certainly whenever we can get a group together....that is if people here will be buying it this time round? *holds ears waiting for bitchy cod sounds to happen*

W/C October 10th Weekly Nightfall This week’s strike is the Inverted Spire, with modifiers Attrition, and Timewarp: Killing Time. Attrition greatly reduces health and shield regeneration. Defeating enemies will sometimes create light wells that you can collect to restore health and shields. As for Killing Time, you basically get to extend the mission timer by killing enemies. Flashpoint We’re back on Nessus this week for the Flashpoint. All you need to do is complete Public Events to finish it. You can get it done faster if know how to trigger Heroic objectives of these Public Events. Meditations Combustion: Hawthorne’s waiting on the cliffs above the salt mines. Help her get the word out: we rally at the Farm. Chosen: the Almighty is finished. Time to go home, save the Traveler, take back the City, and end this war. Be brave. Hope: Commander Zavala is building a resistance at a moon of Saturn. Make contact and join the fight. Call to Arms The weekly Crucible quest is same as always; play a few matches (usually 5-7) to get a Powerful Engram. Iron Banner On for the entire week, you can obtain all new gear and weapons by selecting the Iron Banner option, which is the game mode Control.

PES wrapped up a deal with Arsenal now. If it could just get the chequebook out for the others just watch the horde of people flock to this game from FIFA.

How and why I couldn't find a thread on this seems strange as I thought I put up the E3 video somewhere. This game is going to be epic, but heard today it is more likely to have a 2019 release date. Bummer. I'm really hoping to here more about it and what the MP has on offer. No doubt the SP campaign will be a killer like the first. E3 Trailer
