Topic: PS4 Destiny Meet Up Thread

@xX_RiscazZ_Xx: I have no issue with running either raid on Hard although I must admit I am lacking the firepower. Xur's inventory certainly won't be helping either - No Land Beyond! However I am more than capable of running the Relic at both the Templar and during the final 2 stages of Atheon. I have a few good Fusion Rifles though which are great for Oracles but not so great for Atheon. I would prefer Hard in the hope I get FB and/or a Vex - even though both have been nerfed - as I do miss them on my PS account.

I am also more than capable of running the Sword in Crota too.

To be honest I'm pretty hazy with the relic bit at the end, I've only done it twice and just kind of blag it until it works out! But I can do it

@BAMozzy: That's fantastic, I've got max level oracle weapons at every turn so I can run relic, but You guys are better off having me on oracle crushing duty. You get the templar relic then, if that is ok.

No Land Beyond? That is excellent news! Another one for the collection! I seem to have lost my Lord of Wolves Elder cypher somehow, need to check my titan but if I did that is crap!

And vex is part of the fusion riffle group, at the end of the day the improvements still make it one of the best weapons thus far, or so my brother tells me.

@xX_RiscazZ_Xx: I am more than comfortable to use the relic at every stage its in. I am more likely to be useful with that than with my weapons on the PS. I know various ways of getting through each stage on Hard mode too which may help - particularly at the Oracle and Templar stage.

If you had an on-going Elder Cipher that was not completed before the patch, if you go to Variks, he will let you pick whichever weapon you want from the 3. Its the same for all the exotic bounties too - If you had one incomplete, it gave you the weapon anyway.

The Vex has gone through a number of changes since it was first available. However it has been hit by the Field Scout nerf. Originally this Perk increased the Mag size to 56 then reduced to 35 and now has 26/28 (I can't remember exactly) and even less in reserve as a result. It already had the poorest reserve ammo of any primary as the average is around 9 magazines but the Vex has around 5. Its still powerful but it also burns through ammo very quickly (especially with an even smaller mag). According to Bungie, Fusions now do 15% more damage against AI but have had the projectile speed reduced as well as now no longer get more accurate with each projectile fired. I had my Vex back before it got the first nerf and still remember how great it was back then so I guess I may be a little harsh as its nowhere near the gun it used to be but I still like the aesthetics and sound of it and really want one for my PS account.

Anyway what time are we starting tonight?

@BAMozzy: I believe it will be 9 PM right @kyleforreste87?, I'll still be around running some Heroic Strikes to get my hands on some guaranteed non RNG strange coins.

Maybe if anyone wants to join I'll get around to that nightfall I was planning to run yesterday before booze got the better of me.

If its based on 'light' not level, I maybe able to bring my Warlock through both NF and the weekly heroic but if not I can help with my Hunter but she's already done it. I will be working on my Warlock today - trying to level her up so should be online most of today before 9pm. If you (or anyone else) wants a hand with anything just send me a message...

If you need me just give me directions, my hunter is 166 at the moment, my Titan and Warlock ar around the same.

Completing your subclasses' quests will give you a class item with 170 or 160 I believe, so look into that if you need a light boost

I'll be on after some din dins, 8:30ish.

Will be streaming here (live now): http://www.twitch.tv/wigsplitter1987

We should definitely create a PS4 party room this time around chaps, as Destiny can bugger up the volume/chat connection at points.

Thanks guys, nothing quite like a good nights sleep after a VOG hard run...

Yeah that was good fun - I'll be around over the weekend if anyone wants to play Strikes, etc.

Thanks for a good evening. We got through that quite quickly considering a few had never attempted a Hard run and our weaponry isn't the 'best'. I can't complain at my Rewards from it either - I would have preferred the Sparrow to the Ship as I can use the Sparrow but the Ship is nothing but a Cosmetic! At least I didn't get another Chatterwhite!!

On a separate note, My pre-order of the Taken King arrived today. I must admit I am a little disappointed! I ordered the Taken King (as that's what it said on the box) but I get 'Destiny' on disc! Inside is a 'Download code' for the Taken King!! It seems I will be ending up with the Digital version of The Taken King anyway!! I do think its quite misleading but to a degree I can understand why - swapping discs to play yr1 and yr2 content but I still think its a bit 'off'.

@BAMozzy: That's terrible and no good at all! Download code seriously?

All depends on the content we will get I suppose and I am eagerly awaiting the pushsquare review

@BAMozzy: haha that's what I was saying last night actually. I went for the digital version because I'm hoping that it means I can stop using the Destiny disc. I know it's a game I'll be playing on and off for the next year so would rather it was just on my hard drive ready to go. Hopefully with TTK download I can just disregard the Destiny disc. the download is only showing at 10mb anyway, everything TKK needs to go was in the 18gb patch the other day.

Ugh, I got the cloak, ship, shotgun, all had them before, at least I got Atheon's Epilogue, pretty useless with TTK but at least I get to try it out.

@themcnoisy: Yeah - seriously!! The Taken King is not on the Disc at all - at least I don't think it is. Obviously I haven't checked but I do have a 'download' code for the Taken King! Both my PS4 and XB1 Taken King games have 'Destiny' discs but with a 'download' code for both yr1 Expansions and TTK.

@kyleforrester87: I really don't think it will work like that. I expect you will need to put the Destiny Disc in - much the same way as you do to play the Dark Below and House of Wolves content too.

I own the the year 1 game and expansion digitally so if the new game provides the taken king as a download I'll just get rid of the disc anyway, win win, it was the same price as the expansion upgrade anyway, what a joke.

@BAMozzy: will see, fingers crossed
