Oh shit, Memory of Jolder Artifact available from the new Cryptarch.

Crucible is going to start off with a bang this week.

 

[Zocano]

TTK dialog writers clearly on holiday for this expansion.

... I think it's worrying that I can't tell if this is a good or bad thing.

 

[MaKTaiL]

How is the story guys? How many side quests are there after you finish the main Mission? I'll only be able to play later today

 

[JonnyKong]

Man that first mission was tough for me I really should have worked on increasing my light level before getting this expansion.

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

Im confused, PSN still says *Access to Iron Gjallarhorn & Iron Gjallarwing Sparrow starts 09.20.16.

Does that mean you still get it if I purchase now or not?

 

[gutterboy44]

Bummed I wasn't able to finish my MoT last night. Needed that last Oryx fragment and a HM Oryx kill. Oh well, I got more done than I thought I would seeing as I hadn't played since before CM stuff dropped. The only problem now is I didn't get much sleep last night so I will probably barely play RoI tonight.

Are exotic engrams collected prior to launch decrypting new exotics and LL's?

They're pre order bonuses, so I'm assuming no.

 

[everyday math]

How do you start the iron galley quest?
I picked the stuff up in the post master.

 

[Marvel]

I feel at Home lol

 

[hydruxo]

Servers are working again?
Awesome

Spoiler

Damn

. I love my job, but the next three hours will feel like an eternity.

Same here. Luckily I only have a half day today though.

They are. :3

 

[Deku Tree]

Anyone want to run through the story missions together on PS4?

 

[biteren]

i have to rediscover Thorn?

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

They're pre order bonuses, so I'm assuming no.

I thought it was all questlines, now I have to pre order digital games? God damnit, my kid will be crushed. Anyone confirm there is no way to get the iron varients?

 

[Number45]

I still have some quests from TTK such as The Taken War quest line. Are these still worth doing or can I just abandon them?

You get a worthwhile weapon at the end of that quest line, so yeah I'd do it. Plus it's nice to have 100% quest completion on at least one character - that's what I've done on my titan and I just abandon stuff on my others that have no tangible benefit.

 

[Twilight Gap]

I feel at Home lol

 

[Zakalwe]

I thought it was all questlines, now I have to pre order digital games? God damnit, my kid will be crushed. Anyone confirm there is no way to get the iron varients?

Sorry you missed it, but it was incredibly clear it was only a pre-order bonus.

It might still be available, sometimes there's a little grace period.

 

[optimus8936]

You can still get a regular looking Y3 Gally from a quest if that make it better for you.

I bought the game like an hour ago and still got everything.

 

[Nursezero]

PS4 and ROI sitting in the theatre room, ready to go. Me? Sitting in the family room with the wife watching mind numbing television. Domestic bliss.

Worked all night taking care of patients and this will probably be the same out come, lol, i understand your pain.

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

I bought the game like an hour ago and still got everything.

Through the web or console? Did it list the items?

 

[SlenderBeans]

TTK dialog writers clearly on holiday for this expansion.

Or better yet, they are working on Destiny 2.

 

[Bold One]

So how short is the SP campaign?

 

[serenewarfare]

So how short is the SP campaign?

Spoiler

5 missions.

 

[Marvel]

Lol

 

[dawgparty]

Through the web or console? Did it list the items?

Console. Didn't show any pre order bonuses until I logged in and they were at the postmaster.

 

[Zakalwe]

That Parthian Shot vendor roll...

*wipes away tears*

 

[Auto_aim1]

A whole new area and they give us recycled levels in missions again smh. Mission 4

Spoiler

dust palace strike backwards? Why...

 

[all of my hate]

2nd mission and I can already tell this is gonna be a pain.

Back to LFG.

 

[MaKTaiL]

Year 3. You should already be used to it by now.

Reading through this thread is building quite the shopping list, curse Bungie for robbing me of my IB marks.

Ok, same as the PSN page. I bought hit but wont get home till later. "Crosses fingers" Thanks

Seriously, those right there was a weapon.

 

[Nighte]

Anyone else not getting any way to purchase Rise of Iron when you look at the game through playstation store on PS4?

It says immediate payment required but no buy button at all...

I have the taken king already, and downloaded the latest update in hopes of that helping but no...

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

"Do it." is the line reading of the millennium.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Year 3. You should already be used to it by now.

Yea :/ it's pretty disappointing.

 

[Ryuuga]

Just a quick impression of on the faction weapons that I feel have potential.


VANGUARD QUARTERMASTER

Pulse Rifle:

(Parthian Shot)


SteadyHand IS
Rodeo
Perfect Balance/RifleBarrel
Headseeker

"Overall better base stats than Smite of Merain "

Scout Rifle:
(Angel's Advocate)


Ranged Lens RL5
Outlaw
Small Bore/Expl. Rds
Reactive Reload


"Slightly worse base stats than Hungjury but small bore and it's perks make it as good."

Hand Cannon:
(How Dare You)


Steadyhand IS
Mulligan/ICarus
HammerForged/Expl Rds
Luck in the Chamber


"Overall good base stats. Not as much impact or dmg perks as Hawkmoon but definitely a good legendary substitute"

Sidearm:

(Teacup Tempest)

Steadyhand IS
Zen MOment
Fitted Stock
Reactive Reload


"Some of the best base stats I've seen for a side arm..and the perks make it even better"

Shotgun:

(Occam's Razor)

Accurized Ballistics
Close&Personal/Knee Pads
Hammer Forged/Quick Draw
Final Round

"This literally screams 'Use me in PVP' "

Machine Gun:
(BoneKruscher)

Linear Compensator
Feeding Frenzy/SpraynPlay
Hand-laid Stock
Crowd Control

------------------------------

FWC:

Fusion Rifle:
(The Waiting)

Reflex
Accel COils/Hipfire
Stability/Knee Pads
Range Finder

Zen Moment


"I could see this easily becoming a darling much like Hungjury did."

SideArm:

(The Wormwood)

Truesight IS/ Fastdraw IS
High Cal Rds/ Quickdraw
Hand Loaded/Zen Moment
Hidden Hand


"Overall great base and an amazing collection of perks. Should be called wormfood against those who go up against it"

Rocket Launcher:

(The Warpath)

Confined Lauch/Countermass
Flared Magwell/Snapshot
Heavy Payload
Tracking


"Decent Velocity, Great blast radius. Easily the best rocket launcher I've seen among the factions"

Other notable weapons I didn't write-up due to time constraints:

Crucible has a good sniper rifle called "Event Horizon"
Dead Orbit has a good Shotgun called "Last Ditch 001"
New Monarchy has a decent High ROF Machine Gun with the "Citizen IX" along with another fairly good sidearm

same for me. since yesterday, there was no option to buy the complete collection and/or the upgrade in the german psn store. its still not available.

 

[Zocano]

Yea :/ it's pretty disappointing.

I mean there won't be any incredibly substantial """"""""""NEW""""""""""" content until Destiny 2.

 

[The Hobo]

I finished the Rise of Iron quest line. Only five missions, and pretty easy overall. There are a few side quests to do now, but not sure how long those will be.

I like Felwinter Peak. Cool place to hang out.

 

[Twilight Gap]

that rifle man reference though

 

[Zakalwe]

Doing the Iron Lord's work.

Many thanks Guardian!

 

[soldat7]

Try buying it from within the game, it should work. I couldn't find the option recently either in the store but if you click the new cinematic on the director it will link you to the store to purchase it.

That did the trick. Really annoying though. Thanks!

 

[Nighte]

That did the trick. Really annoying though. Thanks!

Meh, getting connection issues with PSN store from in game even tho I can access PSN store from both browser and in PS menu...
Guess im stuck..

 

[AuthenticM]

No OT on the Gaming side?

 

[BattleMonkey]

This seems pretty weak compared to TTK in scope.

 

[KingV]

Does something trigger the iron gallahorn package at the postmaster? I preordered using a best buy card (had credit) and theres nothing at the postmaster. Postmaster wasn't full beforehand.

 

[Magik]

This seems pretty weak compared to TTK in scope.

It was never intended to be similar to TTK in size.

 

[Sr. Wiggles]

This seems pretty weak compared to TTK in scope.

I kept my expectations low, assumed this would be a weak "expansion"

Still excited to get home from work though and play! I'm just hoping the raid delivers, pretty much the only reason i got back into this game. I refuse to skip out on raids.

 

[chur]

Just woke up again. Glad to see servers are up. Any recommendations on vendor gear?
