Raid squad from last night cleared Calus challenge mode last night, Bit of guess work of what to do but we did it on 2nd try. Before that I think we had the rest of the raid done within 30 - 45 mins.

Raid is easy if you have everyone that have done it before few times.

2nd time for the raid full stop for me but the others can blitz it easy enough.

Xur location is: IO, he is selling this week.

Merciless (Fusion Rifle) - 29 Legendary Shards
Lucky Pants (Hunter Leg Armour) - 23 Legendary Shards
Mask of the Quiet One (Titan Helmet) - 23 Legendary Shards
Starfire Protocol (Warlock Chest Armour) - 23 Legendary Shards

Merciless is worth grabbing for those who don't have it

Junglist · 24 Nov 2017 at 11:40

I was just saying last night I hope Xursday brought me some good wares. Really wanted Merciless so I'm happy, will buy the Starfire Protocol too. Was never a fan of that one in D1. Preferred the Voidfang Vestments

Will have to pick up Merciless.

I must say PvP on PC is night and day better than PvP on console. It feels like D1 in terms of speed and doesn't commit the cardinal sin of being boring (despite being functionally identical).

It is weird as the cool-downs aren't different yet the way the game flows is completely different (I am not talking about the normal PC "enhancements" like higher FPS, wider FoV etc).

JP and I nearly dragged our team of two randos to a victory against a full clan (which of course included the token Hunter who was useless without his invis + sword combo). I think the game ended at 49 vs 52.

So we had a stream in the new activities tuesday and they seemed fairly underwhelming with little content, let alone end game content.

We also have a raid lair that is smaller than leviathan.

And then this: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/destiny-2s-version-of-mercury-is-underwhelming-so-/1100-6455133/

'Mercury as a destination is actually a rather small, circular area on the planet called the Fields of Glass, which is connected to the Lighthouse that Bungie showed off last week. The most notable thing about the new map is the assortment of powerful, "high-value target" enemies you can fight--there seems to be more of them in the Fields of Glass than at other locations in Destiny 2. Other than that, it's an unremarkable donut map, and we couldn't even summon Sparrows there--seemingly to mask how small the area is'

Not holding out much hope for this expansion.

Will wait for the 29th when more information becomes available, gamespot are generally FOS.

Merciless apparently is top tier, haven't really found a good use of it yet though, much prefer using rocket launchers with cluster bomb as these do a lot of damage.

Kinda miss the times from D1 where having certain weapons for certain encounters made a massive difference.

What games do you normal play / have you enjoyed in the past?

Yes. I think it’s mostly us D1 vets that are jaded but I still enjoy the game.

My friend who never played D1 is loving D2 and thinks the criticisms are being exceptionally salty.

Ian Jones · 24 Nov 2017 at 15:20

Is Destiny 2 like warframe?

Glanza · 24 Nov 2017 at 15:46

Not really, I enjoy both but Warframe felt more of a progression system as you can get items you want (with the exception of weekend events if they still do those) where as Destiny is RNG for your drops.

pinkpound · 24 Nov 2017 at 16:14

I played D1 on PS4 mostly play FPS like BF also WOWS

That was a good game gotta be fair, lagged a bit but was so close. I still say we would have won if it wasn't for those 2 laggy titans lol I was shooting him as he was running away and was getting nothing.

Oh and also the warlock running away from us all the time

Oh yeah that Warlock.

I think he got fed up of me outgunning his MIDA with a legendary Scout...

I much prefer warlock for PVP. 2 heals if running devour!! So good man.

Second to that it has to be titan with Synthocepts
