Destiny - The Taken King |OT| Time to Explain

Oh I am. It's not exactly the same. For one thing it's not a map pickup. You just need ammo. Also, you can block with it as you approach so there were multiple instances where I was dumping into a dude and he just shrugged it off then one shot me. I'd also say the attack pattern of the halo sword was more predictable. There was a certain lunge to it you could anticipate. Haven't picked up anything like that on this sword yet. Hopefully I will.

The Halo sword didn't let you lunge forward freely to move quicker on the map. That's what I hate about the sword in PvP.
 
I mean yellow subtitles, not the box of text for quests and such if that is what you mean...

I know, I thought you were talking about the little quips and such the vendors make?
Like Rahool going "This is RARE indeed!" when you decrypt an engram for example
 
They are all here and in the community thread. Or find a player in this thread just starting out and set up sessions where you guys progress together.



You'll be raiding in no time 😎

A lack of friends to play this with severely hurt my enjoyment the first time round.

I've decided to start afresh. I'm trading in vanilla and I'll get TTK so everythings on one disc.

Actually really looking forward to it.

Yeah that part is dumb too.

Imagine if they had matchmaking like literally every other multiplayer game in existence. Even the worst players can muddle through a WoW pub raid.
 
Thought I'd jump back on Destiny for abit try and get into it again, I've only played TDB.

Thought "yeah i'll play some objective based PVP"

nope - all locked out due to TTK

only 6v6 / 3v3 / freeforall now

I've been trying all night to get a raid going on VoG with no interest.
I really wish the raids had matchmaking, at this rate I won't ever see it.
To be fair, you're trying to set up a game on the year-old raid on the very weekend the brand new one was released - an overehwhelming amount of vet players are going to still be working on campaign and PvE play, or if they're raid-ready they'll be jumping into King's Fall.

Did you try Reddit at all? /r/fireteams is good for regular groups and /r/destinysherpa in particular should be great for setting up with someone to show you the ropes and explain/let you experience everything for yourself. You can also try finding a group on the100.io - and if you do use destinylfg.net I'd recommend setting up your own group and asking others to join since you're new to the VoG - LFG seems to be the most apt to have people who just want to blaze through games and get pissy if people aren't pros at everything.
 
It also just has fantastic tight shooting mechanics.

Like,the shooting is so good, yesterday at a Raid boss I had to hit this weakpoint,right? And it was kinda obscured by these things so I could barely hit it from the side. But I could actually put single shots through the tight gaps between those things and they registered proper instead of the things just having one big hitbox.

Things.

Yup.

Not many games where you can woof a grenade by throwing it through someone's legs...

Problem is 95% of the userbase updated. So keep them all available and sit in matchmaking hell, or consolidate the playlists so the people that didn't upgrade can quickly find players.

Not many good options with the type of iterative release bungie is going for.
 
Good lord, I know that it's well established, but TTK's story missions/narrative flow are so much better than 1.0. Wow. Having a blast, even just soloing it.

And wow at those vistas, Saturn and the rest, lawd.

Thanks I might come back to it once I've levelled up and seen all the new content
 
Important question guys:

A friend of mine dropped the game like a hot potato after feeling slighted by the loot drops during his Vault of Glass run. He had the digital guardian edition and quit cold turkey, never once touching the expansions he paid for.

I just recently managed to rope him back into it (he's impressed with the changes), and so I've been helping him to plough through the campaign quests for Dark Below and House of Wolves.

What requirements does he need to meet in order to open up TTK quest lines and content?


It seems like he completed the quests for both expansions, but TTK questline doesn't seem to be opening up.

You just need to be level 25. First mission is on Mars IIRC. By the meteor on the right side of the map.
 
Was almost done with the VoG mission, got disconnected from the servers and it didn't save my progress. Are they fucking shitting me with this?

That took me forever.
 
So are the warlock gloves from Xur worth grabbing?

Still really happy I got the Graviton Forfeit from him. Seems like one of the better Hunter helmets.

How does the 3 of coins work? Does it have a cool down?
 
The Halo sword didn't let you lunge forward freely to move quicker on the map. That's what I hate about the sword in PvP.

Halo also didn't let you blink with a shotgun (although you could evade with one).

Lunges use ammo and don't work as well in the air compared to the Crota Swords. It's the only way I can see Swords working in a game so many OHK abilities. Most of the time, I just get rocketed anyway.

I think there's already a big thread flowing with a river of salt about this, keep it in there thanks.
 
Really upset that I missed out on the whole Triumph thing. I know it's silly, but I really hate timed things that you can't unlock any other way. :\

It's definitely worth it. I haven't done all of the TTK strikes or the raid yet, but Vault of Glass on normal my first time through (even at lv 34) was easily my favorite experience in the game. If anyone is on ps3 and wants to add me I'm happy to show people the ropes on either of the old raids, though my play time and schedule is pretty thin nowadays.
 
Exotic review time:

Telesto is useful void fusion rifle especially on those wizards. Pretty awful in PvP.

Hereafter is an arc sniper with an impressive profile. Should be decent in PvP, fast rate of fire seems made for the raid and I haven't seen many good legendary snipers yet.

Jade Rabbit is a kinetic scout rifle with a mag of 7 before the extended mag perk. Fun weapon to use, strictly PvE. Seems a bit weak for an exotic slot.

Anyone get anything good?
 
Trying to get to 260 Light Level is proving pretty difficult. At 231 right now. Is running the vanguard strikes the best way to gear up just now? Or is there an easier way?

There's a 6v6 classic playlist is a mix of control and clash, so it's about 50% objective based games.
 
35 runs of scourge of winter and I came away with the following. I'm pretty pleased.

Primary
The last word
Hawk moon
Suros regime

Helm
Empyrean bellicose
The stag

Gauntlets
No backup plans
Ruin wings

Chest
Crest of alpha lupi

No new exotic seems dominant. They are all kind of ok. No must haves imho.
IMO Hunter is a lot more fun. I maxed out a Titan in vanilla and found it super boring. Been playing Hunter since then.
Hammer of sol is the best class in the game imho.
 
Got 2 primary exotics from 6 3oC, Supercell and year 2 Monte Carlo

Really didn't think they were doing year 1 gun exotics through engrams
 
So back after a year exactly between achievements, couple questions for the vets around here.

-I see there's a category for emotes now,can you find these in the world or just from preorder and such?
-what does the upgrade to highest year 1 stats do? I have a few lvl 20ish exotics, will it upgrade them to lvl 40 or what?
-I have a,quest to fully upgrade my sungsinger class, but I already have all the slots unlocked in it, but it still says incomplete, anything else I have to do for that?


Also the rng likes to play with me. Bought the warlock gloves from xur, then ending up finding 2 exotics engrams, both the same gloves :/
 
beat/respaw.n fight with draksis 6 times and no more drops. The exploit is iver, eh?

Erm. It was never guaranteed to work in that amount. My average was 1 exotic per 7-8 3oC in the end. It just seems to be roughly 1 in 5 overall.

It was working fine a couple hours ago so I'd assume it still is.
 
Guys I dont know what to do, im consistantly getting disconected from the server and it wont stop. Any suggestions? PS4 wired connection... This does not happen in any other online game I play on PS4. I've tried resetting my router multiple times, turning on and off my ps4 multiple times. Doesnt fix it.
