It's going to take me a while to get rid of all these bloody engrams

When I'm ready though I'm just going to jump onto the story missions so we can get the NF unlocked ASAP, just join the fireteam when you'r ready.

If anyone wants to run Weekly/NF/HoW later on Tuesday I will be on around 9pm (busy at work right now so can't get on earlier). Also got 2 keys so far for anyone that wants to do PoE runs, but I'm 31 and think I may hit 32/33 once the patch hits if I can ascend enough of my items.

I'd be interested in a couple of nightfall runs. I've got a level 31 Hunter and a level 30 Warlock so should be cool assuming they don't bump up the level on the nightfall to 32 with the update.

I'm fully expecting two Gjallarhorns to drop.

 

[mid_gen]

I *expect* the new nightfall to be level 32, when TDB increased the max to 32 the NF was 30. Not sure if it's been confirmed yet.

EDIT: yes it's level 32.

Hopefully the new story missions are not something that you have to figure out by yourself how to complete just like the last expansion as this might take a while then.

I should be on tonight as well (but not till 21:30), not played for ages but got level 32 hunter,titan and warlock.
Will be doing story missions first and up for a nightfall or 3 when its unlocked.

Goddammit!! Guess I'll be leveling tonight then and will tackle it later in the week.

? They are only story missions, you get objectives all the way, not exactly puzzlers! I'd be surprised if they took an hour to blitz through, assuming it's 3 or so.

 

[Fallen god]

Did a lot of work last night so should be home earlier woot woot.

 

[Fr0dders]

think they upped the number of story missions from 3 to 5 in this expansion. You need to complete the story arch before you can unlock the strike and prison of elders.

 

[mid_gen]

Ooh 5, going to have to go at them ninja sparrow style I'm sure we'll have plenty of opportunity to run through them at leisure later on

Story missions are fine. Last expansion you had to do three story missions which are quite hard for fresh chars and then some stupid quests for which you have to resolve to YouTube to complete before unlocking the strike . Hope it's just story missions this time.

 

[mid_gen]

Oh all those annoying quests....yeah they were a pain. Can always refer to reddit or something to find locations if they are a bit obscure.

 

[blitzwing85]

Any others want to set another mini team aside for the HoW content?

I'm free any time from 6pm on Tuesday so if anyone wants to party up to go through the new content feel free.

1. FallenEden
2. DavieM66
3.

I'll be on all evening

Still a space left for a fireteam if anyone wants to go through the story missions then the strike/NF afterwards

Been travelling all day today so pretty tired. Best have a relaxing afternoon at work now and maybe an early finish to have dinner etc.

 

[AStaley]

Damn it, stuck at work and it's murder having to wait and read about the DLC. Just want to get home and play...

 

[mid_gen]

Planning my todo list

1) Ascend Gjally, Helm of St 14, Vex.
2) Drop in engrams, see if any nice lewts come up
3) Burn some glimmer
4) Start blitzing the story
5) Nightfall
6) Nigthfall
7) Nightfall
8) Hand in commendations, packages from the rank up
6) Enter PoE
7) Profit

Fixed!

Interesting to see how challenging PoE actually is. On the face of it there doesn't seem to be much in the way of puzzling a la the raids, it's more a pure test of your combat skills.

Hard to say from the twitch reveal because the guys playing it sucked.

 

[blitzwing85]

Yup it'll be very interesting to see if it requires much in the way of working together IE certain weapon combinations, characters/abilities or if you can pretty much just roll up with anything and blast away

I'd hope for the former, or a little bit of both.

 

[mid_gen]

Well, the random modifiers are going to make it interesting, you're gonna need a full set of weapons for each burn! A reminder of the new ones to be ready for :

Small Arms – Primary weapon damage is doubled.
Exposure – Guardian shields are increased but do not replenish.
Grounded – Players take more damage while airborne.
Brawler – Guardian melee damage is increased by 300%
Catapult – Grenade recharge speed is greatly increased.
Trickle – Abilities charge significantly slower.
Specialist – Special weapon damage is doubled? (speculation)
Airborne – Players deal more damage while in the air.

 

[blitzwing85]

Interesting. I guess Warlock has some abilities to help them shoot while in the air more effectively - but if that modifier is on at the same time as Grounded then that'd be fun. lol
