I will go for the normal edition, the LE just have cosmetic stuff I wont use.
Lol! GameStop hasn't updated the Bloodborne US Collector's Edition page. They have the old version of the CE and the release date as February 6.
Anyway, we're off topic. Back to Destiny talk.
I want the art book so bad. I have on,y bought 4 Collector's Editions in my life, 3 I regret (ME3, Star Wars The Force Unleashed though it was going for $45, and Dead Space 2) and one I don't (Last of Us Survival Edition). The Last of Us one I bought because I really wanted the art book.
Anyway, we're off topic. Back to Destiny talk.
Bungie, House of Wolves better deliver or Bloodborne will be taking your PS4 playerbase.

All about dat normal CE flawless! And when they bother to bring back Salvage lots of people can finish up GLord.
So do I but I don't quite trust myself in the run with the flawless folks yet
I have the video of my POV of our kill yesterday too

You could definitely do it, Lv32 is recommended but not required. Nobody should feel worried about doing flawless on normal CE, with a few vets in the group it won't be a problem. Anyone that's more worried and/or Lv31 can just stay safe outside during DSingers for example.
The key is just how short the raid is. The VoG jumping area was so fucking tense because it took at least 30 (boring) minutes to get back there if someone died, and then you still had two more encounters after it. For CE, the tense parts are:
1.) First phase in darkness, can solo it pretty easily and any deaths here mean you lose 2-5 mintues, no biggie
2.) DSinger: There are safe strats, especially with Titans and she dies so easily when taking damage from Lv32s. If it goes until her Liturgy starts it just means she will be stationary and taking extra damage. A death here takes maybe 15 minutes to get back.

Black wax idol, I am running low. Did the Sepiks strike stop dropping those? Is it only omnigol now?

The mayor hive in the Earth below the starting point can drop it too.

Yea Like Drizz said, there are at least 2 others that have expressed interest so we could easily form 2 groups of 4. With that said, I definitely wouldn't mind you taking my spot especially if we're unable to form the 2nd group. I'm just here

Yeah, make that 5. The only trophy given out this weekend that mattered. Lordship hooooooooo!

Yeah, it's more about having the art work and collection of all the game's areas in one place. I have the DS2 guide and never used it much for actual "strategy" but it's fun to flip through and remember all the different areas of the game.
If you're hanging around BBGAF like it seems a lot of us will be, I'm sure that'll be the best place for strategy info and advice (kinda like DGAF for Destiny advice).
3 of our guys had to bail. Need three more!

Yea BBGAF will be tough for me. I want no spoilers so it might be rough navigating through that thread haha
Deathsinger is what I'm afraid of. Do you plan on a vet soloing lamps, then cheesing bridge? A group of us did a run last week where plenty of us died during lamps/bridge, but we only wiped at Deathsinger. Is there a trick we were missing for her? It was the 7,345 knights that kept getting us.
It actually was Salvage, I was sitting on platinum for like 2 weeks until Salvage showed up this weekend.
Yup.
What's the best way to handle that?
Maybe posts should just #GuardianLord and everyone promise not to quote the tag. That way a quick search finds all the new blood.
Anyway, me too.

A shot of the ROC train on Saturday morning with Noomi and Lik. The ship choice was not intentional, and I had just gotten it from the previous strike when Lik joined.

Have to remind myself to do my last weekly today. Start stockpiling strange coins in preparation for HoW and maybe 6 coins per char of heavy ammo. After the first day of CE Hard Mode, haven't really used much heavy synths so I don't anticipate needing to use many in the near future, especially if they fix the losing ammo bug with HoW (not holding my breath). Switching boots when wiping helped a ton.

Haha! I remember that, the roc strike green ship gang!
I think I have every possible roc strike ship at this point, might be missing one...

edit: I'll be out of the thread again now but be back a bit later for any flawless groups, etc. Sending a PM always works if you want to make sure I'll see it, sometimes I can go back through thread pages I missed but not always.
haha oh yeah, I'm gonna try to finish my first playthough ASAP so that I can start hanging out there, until then I will probably still be in lockdown mode....
If there's a solo pro like Kadey tonight then that's easiest. Honestly we've wiped more CE flawless runs from people dying when everyone tries to fall down the first pit than anything else. That's the main reason a solo pro is nice, everyone else can just chill up top and get teleported to the bridge when done. I've done flawless runs w/ legit darkness phase so it's not essential.
I'm not sure how flawless bridge cheese would work nowadays. That would be the only phase where having a Lv31 would be more of a problem. They could just drop the sword when they run across and let a Lv32 grab it to finish off the GKeeper easy. We could talk about that more when groups get together, depending on the group levels etc.
DSinger just have someone kite out the wizards on each side and snipe them down from the boomer towers. Keep rockets to a minimum except for someone sneaking up to rocket each shrieker then gtfo until the death balls clear out (don't even need to go all the way inside, just rocket or snipe from door). It can help to throw rockets at the groups of Knight majors to clear them out a bit, as long as everyone is careful and clearly marks out the positions where they will be rocketing.
Then everyone group up on the right side (from spawn point), go in together, use double bubbles or even triple bubbles if you have enough titans (Armor, Blessing, Weapons). Use IceBs and BHams mainly, and just don't rush things. You have plenty of time to finish her off even if she starts her song so don't start firing rockets willy nilly, haha. Then get back outside and slowly clear everything out before Scrota.

Has anyone here tried a SSD in their PS4? Any noticeable load time decrease afterwards, or is it all on Bungie's side of thigns?
I'm flirting with this idea and the instructions seems incredibly simple.

I would want you there to help. I want to make it clear that I don't need it because I'm not a completionist, not because I've done it. I get nervous trying to get the walking tall bounty from level 8 sepkis prime.
I probably wouldn't be able to do it until at least 10pm est. I'd really like to do some organizing and glimmer farming so I can get my Hunter to 32 with Don't Touch Me arms equipped. And have all of my best weapons at the ready.
I would be interested in joining a group for this, not sure when I would be able to do it though. Was always nervous to do VoG flawless
My buddies had fun running the VoG and CE with us Friday. Thanks for staying up and kicking butt.
no problem man i had fun as well, vog is always fun to come back to

I hadn't looked at them in a while and was surprised to see quite a nice price drop.
looks like $100 can get you 240 gigs, which isn't bad. I'm not really a space hog, so that should be fine for me.
Nice vid, but I'm specifically curious if it helps with destiny load times at all. Due to destiny doing matchmaking behind the scenes of almost every load screen. So a faster drive might not do anything if the time delay is all server side.

Subete no aware
I'm assuming most of the loading times are from contacting Destiny servers though.
The price of new SSDs just went up again because of a model refresh across several manufacturers at least.

I would like to, start up a list and I'll join. 32 Titan Defender. I have the checkpoint as well.
Are you guys full?

Is there any decent way to get xp for weapons once you're done with the daily bounties and story?

Not really.
Some people have alts for this reason. So they can do the bounties multiple times when needing a weapon leveled quickly.
Cool!
I'm 10 shards away from 32 now thanks to DGAF and this week's adventures, I'd be up for giving it a shot.
Gotta get used to that screen. I heard you'll see it a lot.

Best option for quicker XP even though it sucks is the moon mission with Awoken the Hive. Not ideal at all but probably the quickest way although incredibly tedious.
So i see some Bloodborne talk here. I know i will be getting it as a souls series fan. My only worry is how will it affect my Destiny play time. If HoW releases on the 10th of march i will have about 2 weeks to enjoy it. Then i will most likeley stick to my destiny tuesday schedule. Tbh i do not expect HoW to exceed TDB in any way. Will see how it goes anyway.
EL CUCO

Definitely. Co-op should be fun.
If you were talking about Bloodborne from what i played during the alpha test co-op works the same as in previous games, so there is a chance we might meet randomly.
