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

Geez I can't even remember the last time I played destiny, it's been a fair few weeks now.

Just completely bored of the game and the new update doesn't interest me one single bit. Yeh the original raids were fun but for me destiny is over and done with.

I'm just going to sit it out and wait for destiny 2 if that ever arrives on time lol.
 
One of the main things I'll have difficulty with in the AOT record book is the flawless trials/light house achievement. Never even got close lol.

Hope they give the veterans a nice shiny exotic in Destiny 2 for sticking through Destiny. Doubt it though.

Put me down for any raid lists. For now though, Horizon ZD.
 
My friend has started charging £15 for 1 flawless or £30 for all 3 characters. Which is a lot cheaper than online where it's $100+ dollars per run then $20 per each sigil game.

If your KD is 0.4+ he will carry you so you get the full experience otherwise need to carry your account through login details if your lower than that otherwise it's too much stress and hard work to carry anyone worse.

I have another friend who does carries for free (you must be a lighthouse virgin though). However it depends on his mood and he's not on every weekend like he used to be.

Must be costing you a fortune to get to the Lighthouse now then :D :p

Yeah, like I said before, I'm mainly interested in what completing parts or all AoT book means looking ahead to D2. Not too fussed if it just gives me emblems for D1.
 
Yeah emblems, while nice, aren't really my thing either.

I don't think I would pay to go to the lighthouse. I've seen a few streams doing it for free but ideally I'd want to get there myself, just need to git gud.

I forgot you don't need the full page Owen, that will make things easier. I wanted to do the whole book but looking at the Bungie stream again there are some things that I may have missed anyway even though I've been here since the beta, like I didn't get the full year two triumphs (dunno if you needed them all).

i've never paid but I can see why some would and there are people out there who charge ridiculous sums of money taking advantage of kids and the like, etc.

I think £30 for all 3 characters is a steal tbh compared to what others charge (do a google search) they won't even do 1 character for less than $100. If you think about it. Lets say it takes 90 mins to go flawless. Your paying 2 people for 4.5 hours each. 9 hours in total. 30/9 = £3.33 an hour.

also now it's impossible for your average player to git gud enough to go flawless. the number of people playing trials now is so small you run into stacked teams within your first 3 matches.

as an example we came up against the player ranked 9th in the world the week before last and beat him.

i have now also played against 2 streamers (famous youtubers) in the past few months. blade dancing "the fun police" inside his own bubble was the best feeling ever.
 
Its not really the money for me, it's more the fact that if I paid there's no accomplishment there.

I don't blame others for paying though (or even getting carried for free) because its very frustrating if your not MLG.

I know what you mean about it being practically impossible if your an average player. Once you get to the 3rd round, like you say, the skill level goes through the roof and only gets worse from there. Maybe its not to be for me.

with less people it's a lot harder IMO, only the dedicated hardcore are still playing. you run into stacked teams within 3 matches. before you could usually do 5-6 matches before you run into a stacked team.
 
PsychoSonny trials highlights always make my day :) Player pool dropping will always make it harder though. Best chance would be the first week back after AoT drops, but it will always be a hard playlist to get to grips with.

Looking ahead to D2 - Who is pretty sure they will get it? Anyone thinking of swapping platform? (Dredd I'm looking at you) Anyone tempted by PC if it happens?

Hello :)

i'm switching to 4k OLED TV on xbox (most powerful Console) :D should look pretty good :)

i like to know if destiny will go PC, if they will allow cross play with xbox and PC could be great idea, works really well with other games e.g. gears 4 horde mode.

they need to sort out so much, still not happy with destiny lack of content, by reselling it or releasing content (VOG). i'm looking at you ghorn. (3 or 4 times players had to repurchase or find that weapon?)

They said on the stream that you only need ~75% to get all the rewards. I have no idea if there is something there for getting 100% mind.

Next stream is tomorrow so we should find out more stuff. I have seen over on Reddit talk of "Mayhem" like strikes under the Daybreak header. That would be fun :).

In terms of D2 I am 99% likely to get it on PS4.
 
Not really bothered about the record books, I'm just not one of the people that cares about trophies and achievements for the sake of them.

Glad there's no light level increase either, it's my one pet hate in Destiny.

Hello friend

Have you got rid of your PS4 entirely now? Re your comment about cross play to PC, what an announcement that would be! Perfect combo for me to be honest, being able to utilise PC and still play PvE with you guys.

Not really bothered about the record books, I'm just not one of the people that cares about trophies and achievements for the sake of them.
Ditto, I would like a specific statement about what AoT completion means for D2, I'm not really bothered about emblems and shaders for D1 anymore.
 
Hello friends

I will definitely make a return for D2. Ideally PC as I rarely touch my PS4 now but if everyone else buys it on the latter I'll go with that :)
 
If you can transfer your PS4 characters to the PC in Destiny 2 (unlikely, I know), then PC all day for the multiplayer. Otherwise PS4 it is. Either way, I'll be there :)
