Gaming Destiny & Destiny 2

As a hunter main, I've pretty much stuck almost exclusively to Blade Barrage. It can be a devastating super to use in to clear trash mobs in regular pve, Gambit and pvp. Couple with the exotic gauntlets Shards of Galanor, you can get your super back almost immediately and be hurling toxic fiery knives for days.

 

I just decimated 6 man Control team with those Void blades and it felt glorious. Now if only the other abilities were any good I’d totally stick with this class..

 

Have been playing Void Titan and she feels incredibly good in PvP actually. I do miss the handiness of the 2nd grenade you have on Arc but overall the she is every bit as in your face as Arc can be(on D2 dumb down standards). I should say I’m using the original Void trees as I’m trying to experience it and Solar in PvP, I have yet to use the Seed on her still lol.

 

Ugh so what exactly did I just spend $34 on? I don’t see anything prompting up afterwards.

 

Black Armory? Have you installed the update and restarted the game? There was a 1gb patch that came with the reset today. Should get a quest appear with Spider when you go to the destinations tab.

Oh ok. I was expecting some new cutscene.

 

There's one when you first enter the armory but that's it (so far).

I’m starting it now. I was expecting some big reveal as y’all said some major spoiler hit lol

I really hate when a quest ask you to get power weapon multi kills and then doesn’t even give you the points when you do so. Ugh

 

I found the Fallen ether mining patrols in the EDZ the best for all the power weapon stages. The actual relighting the forge step is nails, though. Starts at 615 light and ends at 630 apparently.

Yeah it maybe awhile before I can start tackling this. I’m only in 580’s/70’s and my next step is suggesting 610.

 

This has apparently caused a bit of an uproar in the community, since you will have to grind existing daily and weekly milestones in order to level up and THEN begin tackling the content - forges and the new raid - in earnest. As much as people complained about it in Y1, folks simply want stuff handed to them in this game. But I'll admit that the entry point could've been more forgiving. As in setting the max power for the first forge at 610 and when they see that the next one requires a minimum of 620, then you know you gotta grind.

 

Yeah, a lot of the whining on Reddit is ridiculous. I'd rather have this than the massive drought we got after TTK. That being said, I agree that the first forge is a little on the steep side in terms of difficulty. Even if it was a flat 615 I'd be fine with it. That it goes up to 630 for the final boss is too much. I'm at 600 and getting kerb stomped.

Cozmo on the bungie forums looks like hes in damage control mode. They seem the be aware that “”heres the stuff you paid for but lolno you cant play scrub get a higher LL” was a massive screwup for the first forge. I expect it to get brought down to 600/605/615. Possibly even a flat 600 since its the intro to the BA.

I haven’t seen a single positive review on any forum/ review site anywhere i normally go.

Have barely played since S5 started and ive got a procedure on my hand tommorrow. Might not be able to do these forges for quite a while.

Edit: Apparently instance matching on the blind well is broken from this weeks patch. You either run it solo or have to use a lfg and enter as a fireteam of 3. Personal experience is if its not my clanmates or close friends there is no way a bunch of blueberries from an lfg can 3 man T4 heroic blind well. The instance matching made it easy for 5-6 to do it without talking.

 

Huh I was wondering why no one was in BW last night no matter how many times I went.

I don’t understand the high power lvl myself. That is a steep climb that’s still going to take me weeks to get to before I meet the lvl suggestion. Not cool.

 

And they're making the Forges slightly easier, effective immediately. Still reckon you'll need to be around 600 but I'm fine with that, it's how it should've been at launch.

Ultimately, I think Bungie played their cards too close to the vest for their own good. They should've announced weeks ago that all activities for Black Armory had a minimum power req of 600 so that players that were below that could properly set expectations. And yes, lowering the initial forge to 600 or a max of 610 should've been a no-brainer too.

 

Was still on 610 last night.

I hate RNG. It’s hampering my power up.

 

All daily and weekly milestones powerful gear rewards should provide higher level gear to boost you up. That includes the nightfalls and the raid. If it makes you feel better, you're currently at a higher light level than I am and should be able to tackle this week's forge.

 

Just got the Y2 version of Nightshade from Zavala. Despite the fact it comes with Under Pressure (meh) and Kill Clip (aka less good rampage) and isn't masterworked, it's a lovely gun. Yes it's inferior to my Go Figure or Redrix, but it's so much nicer to shoot. If I get a random roll with Outlaw and/or Rampage (the dream) then I can't see me using anything else. Definitely worth turning in 30 Vanguard strike bounties for.

Hadnt been able to play yet, logged in a little while ago. Nonstop error messages-beaver, caterpillare, supercalawhatthe****adolcious.

Finally got into a crucible and got Borealis...sooo connection issues forgiven?

Esit: cant stay connected long enough to go to tower again. Why do you hate me when i show you nothing but love bungie?!?!!!

 

I’ve had the Red Attention bar very often the past 2 days yes.

 

Finally got back in last night and my connection lasted long enough to finish a strike before kicking me. I saw the shiny yellow from the chest... ran at it... “Checking connection” Got kicked.

Got back in and it was Two-Tailed fox. Pretty meh so far.

 

I’m pretty pissed off. Did a strike for the 1st time which was a Techun mission and longggg as hell. Well we finally get to the ending and I think the strike actually glitched out cause we couldn’t do anything to the boss and nothing spawned or popped up to interact with. We just went round and round getting shot at. I slowly watched as my team departed in frustration only to get other people joining only to repeat cycle twice more. I stuck around hoping to see if someone knew how to advance it. Nope. After 30 mins of being shot at I finally departed myself. Pissed me off.

 

Ok so that was definitely a glitch.. did another run at her and had no problem way later.

Also since BA my connection Red Bar is going nuts almost every 3 minutes. Only managed to get kicked 3 times so far but I’m tired of the Bar. Anyone know what the deal is??

 

You live in Australia?
