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

So I've been playing a little IB, first time back since we were doing Oryx HM...

335 new light level....what other changes should I care about? Got a Nirwen's Mercy and the LMG from IB already which seem pretty solid, anything else I should be looking out for? Got maxed glimmer and marks as usual and don't really know what to spend them on..
 
I have only recently got back in to it myself with trying to get levelled up ready for Rise of Iron in September. Weapons wise I am out of the loop on which are the best or what rolls you want. However Nirwens Mercy is apparently good though I don't know if you can god rolls on it anymore. Outside of that, PvP weapons of choice seems to be pulse rifles or scout rifles - red death, bad juju or MIDA seem to be weapons of choice. Though I was having some good games last night with the raid scout.

They brought back Prison of Elders with Challenge of Elders, basically you pick up a ticket up from Variks and it is a score based system with bonus points for certain kills (this week is melee). Complete the challenges for score which sometimes can be done in 2 runs but sometimes needs a third speed run just to kill the bosses. Once complete you hand it back to Variks and get a guaranteed armour drop and weapon drop that is up to 5 light levels above your current level.

The raid is the same it was though they have added a challenge mode which changes bosses each week. Warpriest challenge is easy, Oryx is alright, Golgoroth is apparently hard. Completing challenge mode gives you an extra drop, an emblem and a fragment. Normal now drops up to 320 I believe and Hard up to 335 and, similar to CoE, drops are guaranteed to be up to 5 light levels above.

NF is the same and IB is the same but again if you get drops at the end then they are also guaranteed to be up to 5 light above. Drops from strikes and normal engrams are as random as ever but overall it is much easier to level up. In 2 weeks of doing HM raid, CoE and NF I got my warlock from 317 - 330 and just IB last night I got up to 332.
 
Got to 320 light mainly solo with a mix of strikes, crucible and missions. The bigger upgrades have come via faction rewards. Going to make a start on coe/and and hopefully have the chance to join some of you guys on the raids.

Ah yeah I got as far as completing all the King's Fall challenges before I stopped. Not had a go at CoE yet, think I'll have to do it the Y2 triumphs sometime.

Guaranteed drops are pretty cool, will keep on with IB this week and hopefully get my NM set up as close to 335 as I can :)

Hey guys, I finally got a Vision of Confluence from the Vault of Glass! :D
 
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that :D I do like that, it makes getting alts up to level so much easier. I just need a good ghost and heavy and then I can really start passing stuff off to my alts to get them over 330 too.
 
My god IB control is irritating. Nobody goes for any zones and just play it as clash. Correction, nobody who I matchmake with goes for the zones. The opposition seem to know that there are objectives!

This has been my big frustration this week too. Either everyone is just selfish expecting others to capture zones whilst they chase their precious k/d ratio or they are truly idiots. The amount of people fighting near enemy zones then running off after or just running through them to find people is ridiculous.
 
IB has been odd this week some games I was getting wrecked and others people were just running into my bullets.. Just really want to get to rank 5 to buy that god roll Nirwen's (even if the archetype is average)

Why I haven't been on tbh, I hate IB Control. Plus having a bit of a break from Destiny.

Might jump on tomorrow for a few games, that's if I can stop playing Neverwinter lol.

Tried IB a few times and I just can't handle the lag in this game, I've taken the disk out now and packed it away till the next patch. Outside of helping with raids I'm done, they need to fix this **** show, playing overwatch has ruined destiny for me, even Division is better.
 
I'm glad I am not the only one to notice how poor IB has been this time around.

Played a few games with the Mrs yesterday and the connections seemed to be all over the place.

Virtually every game had some teleporting ****s running God Mode in it.

During one game I got shot through my Ward of Dawn whilst running Armour of Light.... At first I thought it was just timing and my super hadn't triggered, on re-spawn I had no super and one less spare controller.... (I am not proud of it but I was somewhat "annoyed" by this point).

I am only doing it because the Mrs wants some drops to rank up a bit (light wise) and for Nirwen's Mercy (god knows why as it sucks compared to Hawksaw / Bad Juju regardless of roll).
 
Just amateur hour with Bungie, they also won't ever admit they continue ruin the game. I'm not even sure I will buy the next DLC unless they make serious improvements too match making. With so many amazing games coming out they need to do something.
 
Great night on Destiny last night doing CoE, finally got my exotic sword, levelled up my Titan to 335 (been struggling with boots drops for ages) and finally got Soulstealers claw, oh my the fire rate is insane!

Not sure what else I can get out the game now, so going to be giving it a miss until September.
