Nearly 2 million concurrent playerson Steam now. Part of me thinks if I was the developer, I wouldn't be going exclusive with Microsoft. I think if they delay themselves further into the PS4 market then they'll lose out to Fortnite and other games that would have had the time to develop this game mode into their game.

You'd think its the most annoying sound hearing him die, yet its fucking hilarious every time. Never lets us down

Yeah, we just don't do grand entrances like that over here, innit?

Contrary to what most people think about my views on Destiny, i'm quite unhappy and a few things as to why they couldn't have been there from Day 1. Yes, of course i'm still really enjoying the game, mainly because we have a large group of people we can hook up with and play different activities. I played with Pat the other night in the first time in a long time which was a nice catch up and a relaxing few games of Crucible. However, whilst its relaxing, it clearly missing goals and objectives for you to aim for, chase for and be lucky with RNG. Like Chris said, a lot of the changes made from D1 to D2 are restricting play, but more interestingly consicously restricted. I'm quite relaxed about it all though because I geniunely believe we will get many updates to what things we want to see back. Strike specific loot, more quests with progression loot available, a crucible playlist available, etc. For me, they have fundamentally had to follow what most games will go in the future - release a stripped back package, then incrementally release free updates and enhancements that extend the game, most of which many people here will say 'it's fantastic its there but why wasn't it available in the base game'. Sounds a familiar view from D1? Honestly, they will aim to have a game that is full with content like D1 is if you bought D1 brand new right now. It just takes time because of the way they are making games last these days. It won't move me away from Destiny as I have so much to do in terms of characters and exploring around each planet, however its helping me to learn not to grind it too hard so I get stale and get grumpy I have nothing to do. The clan stuff is brilliant btw. We need to take more advantage of how we understand what people need what activities and work together to achieve this. It increases the goals pool for us all as their goals become ours.

Epic suggestion there Mike, i'll look into it. The Compass and callouts - One of the most important. When in a group the quickest way to get attention and focus fire on a sole or other team flanking you is a callout to the number based on the direction they are on the compass. This has been a massive help towards working together and getting further as a team.

Even though its rock solid, the 1930's styled game has racked up 300k downloads on Steam so far. Its a shame its exclusive to PC and Xbox though. I think i'd get proper fucked off with it very quickly as I probably couldn't get past the first level.

I'll see if I can find time tomorrow to set up some more times to run the raid and practice specific parts if people want that? Give me times if there is specific ones you want me to put up or more than happy for you guys to stick one up on the Calendar.

Prestige raid was due at the rest tomorrow but has now been delayed until Wednesday, October 18 at the previously set time of 10am PT (1pm ET, 6pm BST, 7pm CEST). Apparently Bungie took to their forums to advise that the delay is a result of an exploit that would cause encounters to be easier than they were intended. “To allow time to fix this issue, we are delaying the start of the Prestige Raid until next week,” I personally thought they would be buying time to change the progression for the loot last minute. I'd like to think we will be getting some sort of changes upcoming now as after Iron Banner there isn't anything else planned.

Everyone loves a lottery. RNG whether you like or hate it, actually gives a better return to keep playing going in the thought they have a 'chance' at their favourite gun or god roll on specific gear. I wanted to hate it in Destiny 1 but I must admit, it is one of those reasons you don't realise why you play it so much but it is because of the Loot box/RNG element to games. I don't mind it. Overwatch do it in a way that its purely cosmetic. What I don't like though is if I still want a specific non-play to win cosmetic, I should be able to buy it, not the loot box that then I have a chance of getting it. That's bullshit.

The app we have for the mighty android is a pretty basic one but definitely does the job for the forum section and also gets you notifications directly to your phone. The app is ultimately ran by Tapatalk, which is another way to access FG for the forums. Apple rejected the app has they are quite stringent and Tapatalk have been told they will struggle to get their apps onto Apple. We could try but it would cost $99 per year to firstly own a developer account. I already pay $10 per month for the app for us all on android, which is currently worthwhile. However, whilst we build incremental changes to here and eventually we naturally grow like we have done recently, I've always stated my number one goal is to create the entire site into an App. It is the way pretty much most people communicate through so absolutely want to do this but it could cost some serious money. That doesn't put me off but it would take time for me to save up for something like that. If you can offer your skills up then that would be ace to talk more about it. Personally though I do have a vision how I see most of it, which allows people to access all sections via an app (Forums, Videos, Calendar becoming like a better LFG, etc) and the main thing it is for is the convenience of it alongside notifications to your phone, like an instant messenger. And in relation to funds, I have put a considerable amount into this place, like others have. I won't rule out asking for Donations at all (I keep the button on the site) however, people have invested a lot, even before my time and this is our home and my hobby so i'm not into making people feel they have to give money to be here. If they do, then amazing, but one step at a time. What stuff can you do with apps then Matt?

Lolz! So FG had a hiccup earlier for around an hour. Something with our host, will see if we can extra details on it. All back to normal now and nothing is damaged in case you're wondering Thanks to Dave to logging on our host and sorting it.

The url www.forevergaming.co.uk isn't working atm so Dave is checking the redirect in abit. Browser version still works fine if you have /forum at the end.
