*** The Official Destiny Thread (now includes 2.0 and TTK) ***

Really enjoying Iron Banner, and Crucible as a whole. There's the odd game where we get utterly thumped but most of the time it's quite close or we do some thumping of our own.

Was happy with the last game: 21.0 K/D as we thrashed a group of individuals. Feels good! :D

So far I've had 2 Felwinter's Lies, ship and legendary engram drop. Also bought the chest armour and Jolder's Hammer (and got a nice roll on it). Would really like the scout rifle but can't see that happening now.

Even once IB is over, I'd be up for more sessions in Crucible as a fireteam. It is great fun after having spent months doing PvE.
 
I'm starting to get bored with destiny now tbh.

Feels like you are doing the same thing all the time which I basically am.

Every week you do nightfall multiple times. Weekly multiple times and then both raids multiple times.

I haven't bothered with dailys or roc strikes for a while now.

I don't even bother with bounties even though I have 30 weapons which need upgrading.

Iron banner I really enjoyed this time round but only because of the group I play with. Playing this game on my own I wouldn't of lasted anywhere near this long.

I think it's time to give it a rest and hope that destiny 2 has 20-30 times as much content.

Iron banner needs dedicated servers. Also needs bigger maps and teams.

GTA V is 30 players and look at the size of it's map.

You can't say that in here!!! hahaha

I have 3 characters. Last week i did two nightfalls and a weekly. This week i did one nightfall and got shards! I've not signed on for xur for 3 weeks now lol

Its the same for most games with a heavy grind though, once you step back and lose the will to grind you get a less biased perspective. If the game has enough to bring you back you will continue to play regardless of the grind, but unfortunately destiny doesn't fall into that category.

Que all the people saying its amazing and they only play for the gameplay, only to post up things straight after talking about the drops and how much they still need to grind for stuff. :p
 
I've not done a daily or Roc in about a month, and only did 1 Nightfall this week, and no weeklies. I have all raid weapons now, and all Exotics so there is no incentive to play anymore. IB was Fun this week but mainly because we got some 6 man teams together, I'd rather do 6 man Crucible game snow than Raids.

I'm hoping that the delay with HOW is because they have realised they are loosing players and are adding a lot more content than the first DLC.

This would be nice, but i'm not getting my hopes up. If anything i'm expecting even more of what happened last time. New raid to be completed solo within 10 minutes during the first 48 hours. The new shotty exotic is so bad it actually drains your own health every time you fire it and the new mission has 3 waves of dinklebot opening doors*.

*Please note i don't mean dinklebot opening a door with 3 waves of baddies. The baddies were OP so bungie nerfed them, now dinklebot has 3 doors of various difficulty in opening and you have to watch him for mission completion. :p
 
I *might* try to IB rank 5 tonight but it all depends if I can be bothered. Already got a Felwinters Lie with full auto & a solar Jolders hammer with field scout. Bought two of the chest pieces and just need to rank up the second one. Pigtails absolutely rocks the chest armour with the God of War shader.


I also got a sweet Regulator MK56 drop last night from a blue engram. Useless for endgame content (242 attack) but very nice for crucible. Sureshot, Near maxed impact (~94-96 IIRC), 11 rounds + field scout or speed reload and return to sender.

Now I just have to learn how to use HC's in the crucible.... :p

I've had a few nice rare handcannons drop with 95 impact and thought they'd be great in Crucible. In reality, I found their slow rate of fire made it difficult to win any sort of gunfight. You'll be shot 3 times by Thorn before you can get the 2nd shot out on the rare HC. You should give it a try though and see how you get on.

I'll get shot by Thorn regardless... :p

Just thought I would give this one a go as it seemed to drop with some nice perks.

If it is naff then back to my Trusty Suros I go. :)
 
I tried Fatebringer in IB and although on paper it should be decent, good impact, big mag....the rate of fire is way too slow.

One more win for rank 5, and I'll nab the auto rifle which is actually meant to be pretty decent for a high RoF AR, and shader. Then I'm parking Destiny for a bit. I've sunk a crazy amount of time into the game, probably the most of any single game I've ever played, it's great but I could do with a break before I get back into it with House of Wolves. I've got a back catalogue of stuff that needs to be played, and my own concept I need to get playable in the next few weeks.

The 'doing the same thing over and over' complaint is a bit ridiculous tbh, it's exactly the same with every game, no one complains that CS, CoD, Borderlands, Battlefield etc. you're just doing the same things over and over!

My one complaint is that you don't feel like you are having any influence on the world, I think the only example I know of is Eris Morn changing her speech once you've beaten Crota. I'd like to see some kind of world-wide event happening with HoW, plus expanded patrols, strike modifiers, the ability to re-roll legendaries, ability to increase light level on non-raid gear (even if it means using raid-only materials).

I would like a Nightfall story mode, where you have to complete the full story mode nightfall with a fireteam, with some badass rewards.

Not much then :) I'm hopeful they'll come good with HoW, enjoyed it so far
 
I really hope they bring reforging to all legendary weapons and not just IB. It's very addictive just re-rolling the weapon and hoping for something better. Someone mentioned last night that using the commendations could be a good way of doing it and I agree. 1 commendation per roll would give me about 30 rolls right now.
 
Need to grind out some glimmer tonight so I can get a few people from IB before it closes, then farm out the rest of my Thorn :D. PVP seems to be a lot more fun then I remember so I might try main PVP for abit. Also need to level up another Hunter so I can start doing 2 NF a week to boost my coins :D, might try level it almost exclusively on PVP.

So what do people consider to be the perfect roll for Felwinter's Lie and Jolder's Hammer? Here's what I've got at the moment:

Felwinter's #1
Smart Drift Control | Accurized Ballistics | Soft Ballistics
Return to Sender
Quickdraw | Hammer Forged | High Caliber Rounds
Rangefinder

Felwinter's #2
Smooth Ballistics | CQB Ballistics | Soft Ballistics
Luck in the Chamber
Field Scout | Snapshot | Lightweight
Shot Package

Jolder's Hammer
CQB Ballstics | Smart Drift Control | Field Choke
Persistence
High Caliber Rounds | Field Scout | Flared Magwell
Crowd Control

I like the look of the first Felwinter's and the Jolder's roll also looks very good to me. I'm not convinced with the 2nd Felwinter's as there's no range perks on there at all, although Shot Package is pretty decent. One of the rolls gave me that along with Hammer Forged and I probably should've stuck with that.

This is what I've managed to roll on my Felwinters and Jolders...

Felwinter's
Solar
Smooth Ballistics/CQB Ballistics/Aggressive Ballistics
Luck in the Chamber
Quick Draw/Hammer Forged/High Caliber Rounds
RangeFinder

Jolder's Hammer
Void
Aggressive Ballstics/Smart Drift Control/Field Choke
Rodeo
Single Point Sling/Field Scout/Flared Magwell
Crowd Control

Fairly happy with both. Tempted to roll again on the shotty though...
 
According to this reddit guide, your Jolder's is the best possible roll. I'm jealous! I don't want to roll again as what I have is pretty close, just Persistence isn't as much use as Rodeo.

For one of my Felwinter's, I've got Luck in the Chamber, Hammer Forged and Shot Package. I could be wrong, but I think Hammer Forged might negate the need for Rangefinder (and vice versa) so you could try for Shot Package. Personally, I'd stick with it and see if you get another to drop, assuming you play more before the reset.

There's tonight, after Crota... :D
 
Got rank 5, totally worth it for the shader, has a proper specular/bloom gold highlight, rather than just tan colour, looks badass with the IB gear + claws of ahamkara :cool:

Got the Silimar's Wrath, I reckon it might be pretty decent. Looks cool either way. Rolled :

Counterbalance
Perfect Balance
Glass Half Full

Now just to complete NF tomorrow for the XP boost and knock out bounties to get all this stuff levelled and I'm good :)

You know you are not making my decision making process on whether I should grind to rank 5 tonight any easier.... :p

I only want the shader and wouuld need to grind out ~2260 rep to get there. Looks quite do-able if I focus.
 
I still need the shotgun to drop as it looks quite tasty. Got the Scout rifle last night with firefly which I'm happy with as I didn't do IB last month. Not fussed with the 2 on offer for this IB though. Will grind further after work and hopefully the shotty will be mine :-)
