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

Had some great games this weekend.

Done 95% of the raid but sadly couldn't down Oryx in time...we almost got there, couple of silly mistakes and then we ran out hours in the day.

Up to 316 light now, and now I know the mechanics I'm not averse to trying the Hard Mode. Gear up more ready for ROI.

I would imagine the 30 FPS limit was done to accommodate last gen consoles. As Destiny 2 will be current gen only (I assume), they will have no excuses for not hitting 60 FPS (though tbh, I have no issues playing at 30).

When I play just Destiny its fine, but as soon as I touch anything 60fps Destiny feels like crap. There is also clear advantages, I can aim better/faster with more FPS, with 30FPS I've noticed I'm trying to predict and over/under correct as you get less visual data. It also forces you to play slower as your getting less info. In Titanfall I could pick up on a lot more movement and it was much easier to track someone for example, predict where they go and aiming is a lot smoother.

In a vacuum 30FPS is fine, but when all the other FPS games are 60fps or going to be 60FPS there is no excuse. I'm also not 100% sure about it being part of Destiny 2 or not lets see. I don't think last gen is a valid excuse as the FPS the game runs out can be changed, heck some games have different res/fps between xbox one/PS4. It was a conscience choice and my educated guess would be its because of short coming of their in house built engine. Destiny has always felt rush from a development side and its evident in the amount of bugs and issues it has had and the time it takes to fix said issues.

Either way be interesting too see how things progress, I've had more then enough value from what I've paid. However Destiny 2 really needs to set things up for me to spend money on it, ROI I have pre-order just cause I don't believe its enough time to fix what I want. However Bungie has said they have only made ROI because Destiny 2 was delayed, and they now have a dedicated Engine Team (no idea how they survive this long without one).
 
Started the ROI grind on my Warlock and Titan. Just going to stock pile on motes/SC's and edge my factions / Vanguard.

Not going to faff about with anything else.

Mrs is doing the same and finally hit 330 on her WL. She also got her mitts on a fakebringer as well (Imago loop with Sureshot & Firefly). My god that NF was a tough SoB though (void burn + boss which shoots void + small area + void shooting minotaurs / Hobgoblins = a few near misses and a couple of wipes).

Also been doing some messing about in level 28 POE (dropping level to help out lower light guardians of course :)). Fatebringer + Found Verdict + Gjallarhorn = explosions everywhere! :D Been picking up some interesting blue weapons from the end screen rewards. Currently trying out a blue (140 attack) pulse which has identical stats to Nirwen's Mercy but has full auto.... could be quite interesting on the right map in PVP....

EDIT: Who's in for some blind raiding when it launches / when we are high enough light to give it a go?

I'm only focusing on my Titten but then I haven't touched the other two in months. I've got well over a thousand motes, my marks are maxed, I've got TONS of stuff in the vault to shred for more marks, I can't be bothered edging reputation as I have a habit of going over anyway. Bring on the Iron, with that and BF1 around the corner my gaming is nailed perfectly.

Personally I don't care that much about 60fps. I'd much rather them concentrate on using the extra available horsepower to build out the open world side into something more substantial and go to town on gameplay features than just hoover it all up on 60 fps.

Would be nice like, but there are other things I'd rather they focus on.

With the week off prior to release I need to do something similar, all this infusing recently I have burned through all my weapon parts. I tend to stock pile as many completed bounties as possible too. Though with the last 2 DLC I have done all this on all characters but cba this time. I am going to focus on my Warlock main and my alts can wait.

As for blind raid, always.
 
Looks like we can rustle up a Thursday session..can you raid OweO?

1. Middgen
2. Venom
3. OweO ?
4. +1
5. Moe

I don't mind what we do, whatever is going to help me get up closer to 335...:)
 
Yeah I can help out for a Raid. Let me know what character you want me to bring and I will move everything I need across.

If we need the numbers I *might* be able to convince the Mrs to join us but be aware that she hasn't run King's Fall before.

Those of us on earlier can blitz through CoE as Venom and I need it for triumphs, then raid later?
