So is there little point starting with Vanilla? I have a level 3 character from playing the demo a bit, should I just skip and go for TTK
I would totally like some help later! Still haven't had the chance to do the Spindle quest.

I'm going to stream some SRL so you guys can see some of my pathing and my calls for when it's okay to skip gates.

You receive a buff that gets you to 25 light instantly so you wont get anythjng worthwhile anymore from base destiny quests.Doing TTk first is the way to get your light level higher to do more endgame activities.

Also, here is an example of a time when it's perfectly acceptable to skip a gate in favor or maintain a straight line.

Thing i hate most in SRL is the collision physics with other players its the most annoying thing especially coming of the starting line and trying to squeeze into the gate.
Edit: Can also help out ps4 peeps do the Spindle quests im on right now.

If your opponent had hit the last gate properly then you most likely would have lost.

Finally got lucky and got a decent run on Mars, time down to 4:20.563 with room for improvement, saved vids but not too sure they are worth uploading.
Still not got a 320 helm yet.

Possibly.
My point is that while he had a lead, we both missed one gate, yet I overtook him because I cared more about staying in a straight line.

Dies anyone wanna team up and do the daily? Psn: moose_wrangler-
Yeah basically the strategy as I understand it is to stay in a straight line, stay in the middle of the track, take the corners tightly, and hit all the boosts that you can. Then you travel the shortest distance possible. Also Use side boosts when you need them to follow the strategy above. And do tricks to gain fuel when possible.
I realized that I follow the same path as you on both tracks. But I have never gone for the one boost on each track just before you go on the ramp to the alternate path.
I'm just not quite as good as executing the strategy of staying in a straight line etc.

Tidy!
Very very nice. I'm way back at 4:14. I haven't seen your stream or recordings but from what I've seen in other players, both racing against me and in vids, even more than the path chosen, it's judicious use of side-boost before certain gates and in certain corners together with not forgetting to do tricks that makes the real difference.

It's an elaborate game of "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line."
You want to have a straight line as much as possible.
Do you take the small shortcut-jump at the beginning of mars? I've always felt like it's actually slower

And broke it again to 4:03.

Yep. With the boost, though. If I can help it.
If Mars shows up, you'll see what I mean.

So, from various testing, it seems I do better with the triggers flipped (so Boost is on L1 instead of L2) since it's a digital input.
Top regular speed with boost on L1 - a steady, unbroken 130.
Top regular speed with boost on L2 - wavers between 126 and 130
Bungie may want to set the sensitivity curve so you can top out speed with the analog inputs more consistently. There was another PS4 game that had an issue where some controllers couldn't "push in" all the way, so they added an option to shorten the curve.

Titan
What's your play style? That's the most important thing.
Warlocks don't get much love in the current raid. Hunters and Titans are more useful.

If you guys have room for one more I'll love to get in on the action.

Defender Titan is king of the raids for the bubble, if you're into PvP as well Nightstalker Hunter is good for both and a lot of fun to play. Sunsinger Warlock is also useful for the self rez
What's the big difference between a 4:03 run and a 3:55 or a 3:53 on Venus? Are there any videos out there of these close to record time runs?
They must be starting with a full fireteam so that the start is perfect right?
Pick whatever you think is coolest
Voidwalker Warlock obviously
I normally play melee characters in MMORPGS, although lately I've enjoyed being a ranged character also. PS4 is my first traditional controller gaming console since PS1, and I can't say I'm that awesome regarding accuracy with the sticks since I've mained PC my whole gaming life.

Full fireteam, and I've noticed they hit literally every gate, so they must be skipping the shortcuts entirely.

Warlock is the best foe PVP and PVE.
Ooh, I'd love to get in on this.

Titan Defender for Raid stuff, if you tend to let "mistakes happen" then Warlock Sunslinger, if you wanna look fresh and frabjous
Difficult to glean much from that but basically:
Hunter: fast, mobile, some fun and effective offensive abilities
Titan: basically a "tank" class. Slower but great support class.
Warlocks: Specialized. Very strong melee so you might like this
Having tried all 3 I think Hunter is best by far but I'm biased. You can always do more than one character
Not trying to be an ass here, but none of this is really true with Destiny. There's not enough of a difference in the classes to sway someone one way or the other based on basic stuff like movement or health or melee. All the classes have similar sprint speeds and the Titans are actually the fastest class. No class can be a tank and all have similar HP values. All the melees suck in PVE.
I'd say pick the class with the super you like the most. That being said my favorite is also the hunter.

Max agility hunter + the right subclass speed perks + MIDA + Radiant dance machines is the fastest thing I've ever seen. So fast that I can barely play like that.
Hunter jump is bad in PvE, not nearly as good as the other two. Titan fast jump is the best.
Warlock Focus Burst is OK, but could use a speed boost. Bungie please.

And a fully functioning DS4!Very very nice. I'm way back at 4:14.

Full fireteam can also reduce lag and most importantly reduce bumping.

hitting a random spot that slows you down is the worst

Practicing pitch with a fully upgraded helmet has helped with this.
I've started to subconsciously pick up on the angle I need to land in order to reduce that impact as much.
Also, I've made it up the leaderboard for time trials;
Rank 142 for Mars, and Rank 50 for Venus.
