dastrix Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Hi Guys, We are currently playing Destiny and are close to being at the point to start looking at the Raid content, however we only have a team of 4, myself and squeeky and 2 of his friends. Is anyone else finding it hard to find some players and would like to join us. Please add dastrixuk or squeekymouse89 And hopefully can start progressing some more. Cheers
Tesla Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Doing it over my phone app now, already have you added so adding squeeky.
korifugi Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 I'm up for helping (time allowing). I've already gone through the first 2 raids (Vault & Crota) so I've already got some experience there. I do have to agree though - getting a team together for raiding is frustrating at best. I think on the Crota run my team made, we ended up spending longer putting together a group than it did to actually do the damned raid. (the second raid is a lot shorter though). Luckily - you go through 'checkpoints' which save until reset on Tuesday and you can re-join at that point on another day.
dastrix Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 Great I though that it was a bit like wow in how the resets work etc.
Arreks Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Destiny looks like it could be fun in an arcadey kinda way, shame that I won't be getting a PS4.. ever..
squeeky Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Check the psn thread for my Id. It resets each week ? Ahh man why did we bother !!! Also I have a spare copy of the original game that I want rid of obviously doesn't include the expansions.
Tesla Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I need the Taken King, i bought Destiny a couple of months ago when i got my PS$ not realising the sequal contained all the old bits. Went to play it last night for first time in ages, and everything is now "Expansion this, Taken King that" Worst thing was i didn't realise how close i was to completing the story, i literally had the last mission to do! and i die far too much in the Crucible to enjoy playing.
korifugi Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) It resets each week ? Yes - every Tuesday, at 10:00 over here - all raids, weekly heroics, 'earn x for a week caps', etc all reset. The nightfall and it's bonus for completion also reset - meaning if you're going to get the most out of a nightfall (bonus xp for completion), it's best to do it earlier into the Destiny week so you earn more from it. Events also generally start and end at the reset as well (except for Xur, the tentacle faced git that he is appears on Friday @ 10:00 and leaves on Sunday @ 10:00). Those of you looking to pick up the game new or if you have it without expansions - If you buy the Taken King disc, it comes with ALL expansions up to that point, meaning you'll have everything for cheaper. The only way to get Taken King by itself (if you have everything up to it already) is through the online store. Edited October 8, 2015 by korifugi
DMcGuigan Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Paging @DMcGuigan I wouldn't want to lump these guys with Mat'Ra, wouldn't be fair on them I'll see how our setup's looking, think we've already got 5/6 for our team with Stumps and Shaune, Project's got another group he runs with when I'm off doing something else, so we've probably got a 6 stack we can run with. YOU need to get playing again. Less Fifa and Skyline, more shooty.
CAM Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I was going to last night....but my chair was blocked by cat. And I'll be watching the Euro Qualifiers tonight to Cheer Wales/NI and laugh at Scotland.
TraylerD Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I'm up for joining in. Haven't bought the taken king stuff yet but i've done Vault of Glass a few times and would like to try Crota. Hopefully get Taken King after payday. Currently got a 34 Titan and 34 Hunter. Just started a Warlock with a work colleague that's just got his PS4 so i'll probably get that to 34 too eventually.
Bezwick Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I had pretty much given up trying to play Destiny because not being able to get people together to do RAIDS. I Don't play on my PS4 that often but would be happy to join whenever I do although I only have the Dark Below expansion if that makes a difference.
TraylerD Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I think Dark Below will provide access to both the Vault of Glass and Crota's End raids. I think the House of Wolves DLC just introduced the Prison of Elders and Trials content which to be honest i've not tried, managed to buy codes for both on ebay instead of paying full price on the store
ultima170387 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I'm heavily invested in Destiny. Got all expansions. Know Vault and Crota raids quite well and just stepped into the King's Fall raid for the first time. I try to get on as much as the missus will allow. I have 2 fellow gaurdians who are up for helping others through content.

I think the House of Wolves DLC just introduced the Prison of Elders and Trials content which to be honest i've not tried, managed to buy codes for both on ebay instead of paying full price on the store Yes - Vault of Glass is accessible in the basic game, Dark Below adds the Crota's End raid and some extra missions, strikes and bounties House of Wolves adds more missions/strikes/bounties, Prison of Elders, Trials of Osiris, extra hub and 'marks'. Taken King also adds more missions/strikes/bounties and the new raid. Edited October 8, 2015 by korifugi
aleach2 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I'm up for this. I find it hard to find people willing to put up with my crapness in the game. Also I don't have a mic as I have no desire to inflict my dulcet tones on anyone. Will add people later. Ad.
ultima170387 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 People are welcome to add me. I will try my best to help people where I can. PSN is same as username here.
TraylerD Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Yes - Vault of Glass is accessible in the basic game, Dark Below adds the Crota's End raid and some extra missions, strikes and bounties House of Wolves adds more missions/strikes/bounties, Prison of Elders, Trials of Osiris, extra hub and 'marks'. Taken King also adds more missions/strikes/bounties and the new raid. I thought that was the case. Birthday at weekend so hopefully have some money left over to get Taken King for myself and my bro. I'll add those on the EduGeek Community and see about finding the others that have posted here
Theblacksheep Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Sleeper Simulent today New raid (what I would call) essentials: 1) A mic. The new raid requires a buttload more communication and importantly coordination than previous raids. 2) Be 285 light and have a high impact sniper (quest 1000YardStare, the Black Spindle or this weeks gunsmith EireneR4) at 290+. Oryx is 300, every % is 2.5% less damage and there's several other DPS checks in the raid that now cant be compensated by a few ghorns.
Tesla Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Any tips on best way to get good weapons once you're past level 20?
CAM Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I think I was just after completion pre-expansion. Probably not even high enough to join lol.
TraylerD Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 To be honest CAM the new Taken King stuff has completely changed the game, my level9 Hunter is now level34 and that took a few hours doing story missions and bounties. Almost all of the Year1 legendary and exotic stuff I had is useless until I get the update as the green uncommon stuff i've had drop has higher attack/defence stats.
dastrix Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 Grind Grind is the answer most purchasable stuff is 280 so need drops in strikes i think.
Theblacksheep Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Instead of spamming 30 engams at once and hoping for a legendary with the cryptarch, decrypt one at a time and equip anything that is higher light level. He will decrpyt engrams around your light level. You can creep up to 300 light on all blue gear with this method, no need to spend any legendary marks for 280 gear. If you're just starting out in TK, the best bit of gear to spend 150 marks on is a 280 ghost. They can be transferred to other characters and you cant get decent ghosts from many sources. Do the daily content, they give 30 marks a day. The weekly crucible give 10 x 3 per week and heroic strikes also give 10 x 3 per week. Quests, quests, quests.
