Destiny

[Brand86]

Well now I'm not back to work until Halloween, so, even better!

Are you a vader now???

Not yet

 

[Brand86]

Not yet

Oh so exciting. Baby shower!!!

 

[Pint]

Just done my first run of the raid. Not bad for 366 light. Only up to 368 after though!

 

[Brand86]

Nice one. Did you finish it or where did you get up to?

 

[Pint]

Yeah completed it. Also did all the monitors and finished the quest last night so have the OBP now too.

 

[JP83]

Still not attempted the raid.

In fact, I never did Oryx either. Could probably smash through that now but it's just finding a few more players to complete our 3some/ 4some (giggity).

I don't mind going through oryx with you. I need to finish the last boss in the new raid, too. To be fair, I need to actually play Destiny!!

 

[Brand86]

Yes that would help. Now your baby can fend for itself right?!? (congrats again by the way!)
What level are you now Marc? I'll help you get it done maybe tonight - not on tomorrow/potentially Sunday and hard mode drops next week.

Cheers dude. I'll ask the boys on the chat, see if they fancy it tonight.
Still no Chris - his Destiny wouldn't install the new update, and after a couple of things to attempt to fix it, he ended up wiping his xbox to factory settings.
Other games will install, but not Destiny.
Poor chap is now downloading the trial version (at 50GB on African speeds!), in an attempt to get him back online.

That's weird. I've seen you guys playing on Destiny, but there's always 3 of you, so fairly pointless me joining in!

BUURRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Yeah, generally have 3 of us on at present, but we don't mind swapping about, or starting a raid now we're all in the 360's

I don't get too much time to play with quality players. The ones I usually play with constantly go AFK to sexually abuse their cats

 

[Pint]

3 hours in the raid and it's taking forever. Bunch of American t***s!

 

[Pint]

5 f**king hours that took!! Jesus Christ.

Didn't get any armour drop though which sucks.

371 on warlock but if I take off the 390 obp it drops to 369.

I'm doing that less now though!
I wasn't on hardly at all this weekend, just did the raid with some LFG guys on my warlock and that was it. Not sure how some people can sit on the game and run through 20 strikes or whatever in a sitting. I do 1 and get bored.
I'd like to play trials more but equally when you are pitted against all these amazing teams who are 1.5 KD in your first or second game, it can make it feel pretty soul destroying.

Funnily enough, I wasn't on either! I got 30 minutes to chill out so played some Forza, but haven't been near it otherwise! Some of the guys sitting on there all day do worry me, because you're right, there's no way I could sit and run the same stuff over and over. Even the raid is pretty boring in reality.

 

[Brand86]

Yeah people like Highborn and Jack literally seem to live on their Xboxes - I don't know how running the same strike over and over can be fun. PVP has more variety and takes more skill but even then there is a limit to how long it can hold interest.

Yep. If I did the same as they did (if I had the time it would be nice!) then I can guarantee that after a week I'd have deleted Destiny from my HDD and sold the game. It's way, way too repetitive to spend that sort of time on it.

 

[Gorms]

Yeah even I'm a little burnt out now. Im not even sure if hard mode is going to pump much more life into this.

 

[JP83]

Oh crap, don't give in now guys - we'll need 2 of you to guide us thru the raid soon 😂

Haha - to be fair, when I open my friends list, your name is pretty much guaranteed to be on there!!

 

[Tunst]

Started playing this again with 2 other mates, still havnt done the previous raid fully and cant even attempt the new one, took me forever to get 350 light, so getting higher is going to take the piss, plus finding other people to do the raids with is a pain in the ass

 

[Brand86]

Were you on this weekend Paul? Unless you've blocked me, when I have been on this week I've not seen you online.
Jack and Highborn seem to be on 24/7 though - not sure how Jack gets away with it my Mrs has a go at me and I play a lot less!

Yeah, it's easy for Highborn I suppose. It's probably nice for him from a social point of view, I guess. I really need to finish the raid, and try and give the game an hour or so, just to try and get back into it. Otherwise I'll probably end up never playing it again!

 

[Brand86]

I said last week I would have helped you - although I appreciate you may have had other priorities!

Hard mode drops this week so want to try and do that

Yeah, I know you did bud - and you're right, something else came up which meant Xbox was a distant memory

 

[Brand86]

Marc what could be more important than Xbox? You need to get your priorities in life sorted!

 

[Pint]

Just tried trials for the first time. First 6 rounds went flawless.....then we came up against a well known streamer and got wrecked.

I wasn't on that much this weekend, real world stuff to do

 

[Brand86]

Painted that fence yet??

Hard more drops today...at 10pm! Although the actual update is at 6pm I believe, so don't do any nightfalls or hand anything in until then! Might try and make a stab at it although I'm working tomorrow so doubt I'll be able to finish it. Despite my amazing raid skills other people hold me up etc.

That's me well and truly fucked in terms of light level then - too low for Hard Mode

That's still pretty good for your first try!

 

[Brand86]

Yeah but now nightfalls/exotics/trials/crucible/iron banner drop up to 400 too - not just the raid. Strikes drop up to 385 and the strike chests drop up to 400. Levelling up is almost too easy now compared to the struggle to 320! That was hell.

 

[Marc.]

Oh really? So all I have to do now is run loads of strikes to hit 385? How exciting...

 

[Brand86]

HAha...or Iron Banner

And if you want to complete your Year 3 book, you need to run 20x strikes (non heroic). Goody!

This game is so magical

 

[Brand86]

ALL I WANT IS THE THORN BOUNTY! I've done 47 of the Shiro bounties which usually involve a boring trip to Archon's Forge. Most people get it in less than 10 or 20. I've done nearly 50 and still don't have it
