Did manage to get on to complete DSC this week, however, in news that will surprise and amaze my Saturday night team, I've learned how to solo the sparrow bit - and snag the secret chest

So I managed to do a bit more of the raid today with a chill LFG group. Antraks fight, now contest mode is off, doesn't seem too bad, go to move quickly for the various boss damage phase but the mechanics are pretty simple, and the new exotic sword Laminate does a ton of damage, so a good fun fight - dropped the shotgun Next up is a jumping puzzle, with a chest (shotgun), actually pretty easy jumping puzzle nothing to be afraid of ! Next up is boss phase 1 - with a new role added - Suppressor. Awesome fight, chaotic, but manageable, stick to your roles, kill the adds, nothing too hard, but plenty of adds in a tight space makes it challenging but fun - really enjoyed. Got the shotgun! Thats 3 shotguns !! Then had a look at the boss fight - like CoS the previous fight basically gets you versed in most of the mechanics, you just need to put it together and deal with one of two other quirks - didnt get it done, but overall very impressive fight, and a very good raid. Running this multiple times with a team would be great, as plenty of roles to get used to, but overall a great team raid, and i would say not too hard once the contest mode is gone and adds actually die. With all the stuff that unlocked after the raid, and i suspect more to come, I'm thinking Bungie have done a pretty stellar job on BL

Saturday 6pm DST opened up on D2, and a bunch of FG teams gave it a go, blind and suffering from contest mode which made stuff hit hard. Not sure how other teams got on but me, Venom, Gazza, Scott (red), Geebs and Nick gave it a near 6 hour go, and I for 1 had an absolute blast. Apart from the sparrow bit at the start - can see that being the bane of my life for the next few months. Going blind was tremendous and even though it took about 5 hours to beat the first encounter it never got dull or frustrating, the challenge of understanding the mechanics, understanding the main problems (looking at you exploder shanks!) and working out a strategy for beating it was great, with loads of ideas and suggestions and even hand drawn maps ! After 5 hours of struggle finally beating the room was a tremendous high. Even though worlds first had just been announced for the full raid completion). The encounter is excellent, and i can see us getting it down quickly next time, when we wont have level disadvantage and we have a nailed down strategy. Wont say too much about it in case other want to do blind. Next boss looks like a cluster fuck, but Charlie has done it now with LFG and says its ok. No spoiler but get that new exotic quest done! Hope the other teams had a good time, blind raids come around so rarely that its really worth the effort to be ready for them. Would be interested to hear how you got on If my team want to have a go at the first boss tonight I'd be good for it, if not perhaps Thursday to brave that bloody sparrow part again!

Levelling tips ! Just started an extra alt (my much neglected warlock). With the 1200+ guns from the Titan the warlock started at around 1118 light and then a bit of vanguard token handing in got him to 1148 ish pretty quickly, without really doing anything. Now blasting through the story just to try and get some powerdrops done before i finally start on the hunter main. Story is much easier now i'm over levelled ! Idea is the warlock leapfrogs the titan, and then the hunter leapfrogs them both, but the grind the grind the grind! Enjoying the game, although I've never been overly fond of destiny story mode, so will be glad to put it behind me. Story is much too long if you ask me!!!

Not good but then again I did 90% of my MW career on shipment rust and shoot house. Not sure I could actually remember the name of another map !

Some tips on levelling up from stuff I’ve noticed make sure you pick up the seasonal artefact from zavalas office, and all the bounties you can to get some light levels into it. Level up your ghost 5 times and get max XP boost to help with that as well While it’s tempting to blast through the campaign you soon end up under levelled so everything becomes harder, takes longer and is generally a pain in the ass. Drop out and play a couple of crucible / gambit matches , get 4 gear drops every match and they’ll give you a significant light boost l

I think my plan for being raid ready is try and blast through the story on an alt , then on main , to get to them both through the main part of the levelling. Then powerfuls on alt followed by powerfuls on main, benefit being any weapon drops on alt will drive the main character higher. Then week 2 depends on how far main is ahead but probably still worth doing powerfuls on the alt first. Time dependent as getting through all the powerfuls on main before the raid is probably essential.

Event Title: Prestige Levi for catalyst Event Author: Baabcat Calendar: Destiny Calendar Event Date: 10/22/2020 09:00 PM Is a good week for prestige leviathan acrius catalyst as the rotation of Baths / Dogs / Gauntlet will give a couple of reasonably easy early drops - anyone up for running it tonight? Prestige Levi for catalyst N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.

Need 1 more so bumping this up !!

Signed up , let’s get this done !

Yeah I’m big fan, even to the extent I’ve splashed out in the NFL Game Pass app for the full season. Was about £100 but basically get to watch live any match I want, and also can watch 40min match highlights (basically every play). amazing value when you think the premier league have just announced £15 pay per view per match. Washington fan so nice to see them start ok (in a terrible division !) but loving watching Kansas when I can.

I’d be up for a prestige leviathan which was suggested

Yeah was great last night, crazy that the start was harder than the end ! It’s such a manic hectic final fight though we did a great job on the boss, really tough fight but everyone nailed it

Great run last night guys, really enjoyed it !

Enjoy ! Finished couch to 5k last week, pretty good app that gradually gets you there .

I’m actually delighted ..... more time to get Damascus done on CoD before hoping back to Destiny to get this seasons stuff.

Hi man, sorry for such a slow reply, been wrapped up in IRL stuff, so I've not been on the forum much at all lately. Hope your'e enjoying the new season, my son (also in the FG clan) has got back into D2 recently and is grinding like crazy. He's got back into it just as I've taken a break from D2 - sometimes the endless grinding just gets me and I ditch the game and go away for a few months. The mess that was season of the worthy made me look elsewhere, but no doubt at some point I'll be back and look forward to teaming up with you. If you want to do pinnacle stuff Charlie (Venom2themax) is well up for any raid and the dungeons and he is a lot more mellow than he used to be (nuff said, he used to be a total maniac, lot better now).
