We organised 1 full team that gave Deep Stone Crypt a go on Day 1, managed to pull together 2 full fireteams for the refreshed Vault of Glass Day 1 as well...and this time out it feels like we have more than ever around to try out the new raid on Day 1, but also on Day 2 as soon as contest mode comes to an end. I want this topic to capture everyone's interest at FG, so please pick an option on the Poll but ALSO please PLEASE, comment below on how you're feeling and if there's anything specific to mention. I genuinely think we won't have to grind too hard for Day 1 at all due to contest mode. However, the more power you can get up, the easier it will be to take damage from Day 2 of the raid, which is always a huge difference from past experience. I'd love to get 3 or even 4 teams to do it on Day 1 at FG! At the end of the day, yes, we all want to complete it but very rarely a Day 1 squad gets through it. It really is for the FG ride and experience and working out the puzzles after going in blind without looking at anyone else! Taking 7 hours with @Baabcat , @Greboth, @Bluebear , etc on Day 1 for Deep Stone Crypt and beating only the first puzzle was insane but probably a better feeling than sometimes completing raids even now 😄 So, who's in FG! Lets make this 2022 a bloody good one to help one and all 👊 P.S. Week One completion usually gives you access to buy something pretty unique at the Bungie Store. My coat from Deep Stone Crypt is probably one of the best things i've ever owned too and a great reminder of what that week was like 🧡

We're on our way to do a plentiful of raids this year, probably the most we've ever done (again!) which is insane. Some of the more experienced folk here want to start trying "low-manning" raids, so essentially rather than a full fireteam, try 5, 4 and 3 man raids. Sometimes this can sound more daunting to some and others I know they are very interested but probably don't know how to say or ask if they can be a part of one. So let's use this thread to capture your interest and work out what to do in terms of planning time, dates and then loadouts. Let's be clear from the outset, i'm sure this is something that takes time to achieve and usually always longer than 6-man raids. We all need to have a patience with one and another and also be happy to commit the little extra time you may need in that 2,3,4 hour raid. I'm sure the expereinced ones can chime in and explain when we need longer slot times for specific raids. So, lets chime your name below and also good to here about which ones to start off 5 or 4 manning with if people can share this too? 👍

If we have coins can I suggest we all focus on buying every book available at the vendors. We can then bring them back and put them in the box for everyone so we can all get the extra perks. I know Dave @Plumbers Crack and myself require Art of Mining Vol.4 to complete the set I believe. That also gives us Blackstrap coffee which is amazing fix whilst mining! Other major ones to look out for others are: Wasteland Treasures Vol.5 (Harvest door knobs from most doors) The Art of Mining Vol.5 (You can craft basic resources like ore into compact stacks) Wasteland Treasures Vol.7 (Harvest more lead and brass from sinks) Lucky Looter Vol.3 (Find more brass in loot) The Great Heist Vol.5 (Fall great distances!)

I better start watching this then. I might refresh myself first on the films before as its been a while since I watched Karate Kid. Still worth watching all the films first or just the first one?

That looked incredible. Really enjoyed that, especially when you find you're egging him on to overtake the next few cars! I'm nstalling the Playstation 4 version later I think so hopefully will try it over the weekend if we get time. May soon be time to dust off the wheel once again...

Need to find some time to watch it. I expect a great series though, considering how well made Mandalorian was. Good to know it feels different enough to be interesting though so far 👍 How many series will it have if anyone knows?

Well, 2022 is here and I must say its been fab to see even more FGers actually returning and actively playing Destiny 2, especially since November. The raids have been an absolute joy to be a part of and thanks to @Leeesh13 and @RenFengge for supporting me getting multiple events up to give people choices of what to crack on with. I think whats definitely helped is the variety and how all the raids are being tried - week after week. I personally LOVED learning Riven legit last week and completing the Last Wish raid. I'm personally not that bothered about the rewards, just enjoying the runs, even though this is a great time if people want to look out for certain weapons, armour and specific rolls of stuff. I'm gonna be planning some other goals as such for us all to help with so this is also a reminder to use these threads and info as i'd love to start seeing daily updates as to what has gone on yesterday in certain raids, even if its just to say "another DSC raid done with FG, well done @blah blah blah, etc". This will really help with what i'm trying to set up overall for 2022 at FG. Sharing is caring!

Jesus. Great video. The last few minutes is very telling if it helps people save some time aswell. Such a shame. My lad has it but hasn't tried it yet. Its not worth the money for any of us here I don't believe.

We have it on for tonight's FG Friday game alongside Fall Guys so make sure you check the events out and RSVP if you're coming!!

Just keep on ensuring the FG 7 days megathread for this server is kept upto date with our escapades and any support/help required and that way we'll all know what each other are doing 👍

Welcome back to FG, Nolan! Sure is nice to see old faces returning 😄 I'm Lee, and mostly live around here these days for my sins. Many of us are on Playstation and PC but with crossplay now it really helps with anything we play going forward. 🙂 Defo a few people play Apex and a few on Vanguard too. Ironically, a few of us brits had reinstalled Fortnite to give it a go again...its really not that bad! Although the building still kills it for us oldies 🤣 What consoles do you own atm? Awesome to hear, funnily enough I know that company as we briefly looked at it at one stage. Super glad you're enjoying it mate. Feel free to look around and get involved everywhere and anywhere you can! Looking forward to some games online mate...don't forget to look at events every so often. We do FG Fridays and some games are definitely crossplay there too 😄

@phil bottle, do you think this game could ever work on a console at all? It has such a good following and looks really inviting but I worry that i would want to use a controller rather than M&K with this and i'm not sure it works well with the stuff you pick up, etc.

Not a great deal of info in terms of what it looks like, retails for, etc. I expected one to be made due to the fact that you have to order a free adapter for the current PSVR to work on a PS5.

Steve, I've let it to go on for a few messages but the derail of this thread stops here. I'll also hide the messages in a few days because contrary to what you said above, this place has changed for the better, very much so, in all departments. We make a real difference to people's lives now, not just in gaming terms. Years ago maybe less so, but there's unequivocal evidence (and a bucket load of it) now that backs that statement up. The fantastic and really valuable posts in this thread alone should be the ones having more airtime than a direct response/attack to a person after they replied with a critique to the book you were talking about, not yourself.

I think when there sounds like a lot of content the problem with these live games, not just Destiny, is that they always 'carry on' so in some ways you sub-consciously think you have to keep playing. Where in actual fact they've been pretty clear now to remind players that other games do exist. They know their generic playerbase is far better served when they play a few nights a week which stops the burnout, like you've felt once again as all you've played over November and December is this. I'm rank 7 I think on Dares and haven't done many at all. I have to remind myself sometimes as i see everyone else grinding it like it goes tomorrow, that this content isn't going anywhere and i'm much better served in doing it when I want to or the pull is there to enjoy a few runs with a 6 stack of FGers. I haven't really played any PvP in the last month either so i'll feel okay when I go back to it knowing i haven't burnt out on one of the major core playlists. Raids will always be fun and never boring. Especially if we also keep rotating trying out raids each week, which has been happening here too. I'd urge people not to do any prep work over and above just getting close to the current power cap this season ahead of Witch Queen. Its clear the most fun from all DLCs come from just experiencing everything when it drops rather than blasting through it all in 24 hours. I want to get into a habit of doing more Dungeons too, I think many of us here miss out on all the RAD content which is mainly the best content it has to offer.

I'm back from my holiday now so i'm looking forward to seeing what you've all completed so far! Great updates above though so appreciate all this 🧡 Looking at what some of you may have mentioned you need, i noticed I usually find sham sandwiches, bottles of acid and stuff like sewing kits and zombie flesh are in any trash bags you can find. Even the small yellow cardboard ones that are easy to miss before you enter houses. I video popped up whilst away and confirmed the same thing so that could be helpful to extra loot that we all need. Maybe the looting skill points would also help increase chances. Might see you on later for an hour. Would be cool to see build picture progress in parts too on here.

Better than Menagerie? No, clearly not. But that doesn't mean it's not good. Menagerie is the one which will always be haerd to beat because it was like a Raid 'lite' with infinite respawns, ability to not technically fail, harder mode to challenge yourself, bespoke loot table to obtain stuff, etc. However, even after a while people wouldn't roll that as they got all the loot, so then it comes down to how fun the activity is regardless of rewards. This is just simplistic shoot all the baddies, with elements of mechanics but with funny power ups and narrative over it. It so nice to be able to play something in a 6 stack of FGers that isn't PvP and isn't a raid. Everyone tends to have fun in it and can be used for Catalysts after you do the grinding (although someone will always need something from it). @Spacedeck , i think it'll be here between 9-12 months minimum personally as its kind of linked to the 30th DLC, even though its free content. I don't see why they would remove it February, but you could argue after 6 months if you wanted to. I just want more variety for more than 3 player fireteams in the game so people feel like they can group up more.

I've added this to one of my first 'wants' of the year. I would love to play this co-op for a great laugh, and I'm glad you both have had equally great experiences on this. Is there any restrictions with the guest pass at all?

@Spacedeck At 1280, you need 'Powerful' engrams to get higher numbers, therefore look out for the yellow circles objectives on the map (see your map in the OP). They'll either be Powerful or one step above which is Pinnacle. Do those. Right now, I still think you can throw away everything except: Guns - any purple or yellow gun you like shooting. Armour - any armour that has 65+ stats on it. Until you get nearer 1300, just start getting an armour set you really like. You can change the look with transmog or ornaments. But if youre like me, I kept my fav looking armour that had 60+ stats on it - especially if Recovery and Resilience was above 15-20 each, if not higher. I'm not at home but if I could get a pic of my armour I'd show you the stats to look out for mid to end game. Always about staying alive basically first imo.

I think you have to remember this is a DLC, therefore its not disappearing at February. If we got everything after 2 hours of gameplay we'd be sharing its a waste of 20 odd quid. There's not much to grind for these days now which is defo a good thing, so this is just something to play alongside everything else. I think this is one of the best 6 player activities they've created that is also matchmade. I think they realised that you just need to make things fun and hilariously stupid, like with the power ups and horsey sounds throughout. And then just make tons of things to shoot at. Mind numbing fun. And then when you have enough, legendary dares will give abit extra. @Spacedeck , if you keep doing normal level dares (matchmade) and don't exit the activity it gives extra reputation to help levelling. I've not done many at all and I'm on level 6 too so I think pick a few nights to do just that and then vary up other nights imo.

Does look good doesn't it! Maybe sharing abit of a playthrough @phil bottle like you did on a few other games could be pretty awesome to watch?

I want to go back to it but it felt more of a visually stunning window where I'd want to look at it alot but not really progress the quest line as they didn't feel as enticing as expected. The open world being the way the game works would've been miles better with police chases. In-fact, it would've made perfect sense. I think they now they are past their window that anything they answer really adds anything to anyone who wants to make their mind up about the game. So I suppose he thought, sod it and let's be sarcastic. Only one answer how most people would take it.
