CorgiShinobi Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 What happens when your servers have been use to a sub-million lull and the Hype Train Express came roaring in the wee hours of the night. Not like I was going to get to it any time soon. I get we're thirsty for content, but this is the unfortunate downside of server-based games.

danielpholt Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 I think I finished the new 'campaign' stuff. The climax of which I found to be utterly awful. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielpholt Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Wait, in a day?Campaign stuff only (stuff about SIVA). Could be wrong, but I got a trophy and a cool new sword and a shiny cinematic. I'll have another look tomorrow, I had to turn it off just after the closing cinematic; could be very wrong indeed.

CorgiShinobi Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 If it's anything like The Taken King, the Raid might be the "ending" of this new content. Again, I haven't touched it yet because I'm going to be busy all of today, but that's what happened last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Just finished the campaign. It was like 3.5 hours. But much like HoW and TTK the end of the campaign is not the end of the story content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yeah, Taken King had 5 main missions then a bunch of extra stuff. RoI isn't supposed to be as big as TTK but still has the same approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 So how fucked are you playing Destiny now if you don't have the newest expansion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 From what I can tell you're not too fucked. All the new stuff is sufficiently separated that it doesn't seem like it'd be a problem. Though since I have the expansion there may be places it would cause problems that I'm just not noticing.

deanb Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 So now I'm sparkly and updated: As a non-RoI user the main differences I've noticed are: - All of my items n skills are now marked as having updates, even if already unlocked. See this Twitter image: - Xur won't sell me some of the items cos they're RoI only. So fuck the Nine if they're gonna be classist like that. - I've a button on the map to watch the prologue video but obviously it doesn't do anything cos no RoI. - That seems to be it. Bounties work, I actually got a couple quests popping to the Reef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I hate to be *that guy* but...I think I've got all I'll get out of this expansion. Two exotics quests done, 27% of my book done and I've gone up to 343 light. If I want to improve that significantly I'll likely have to engage in the parts of Destiny I simply dont want to, or am unable to (none-matchmaking stuff mainly). Back to Overwatch for me.

CorgiShinobi Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Dean, I had the "Everything Update" happen to, so I don't think it was because of being non-RoI. Maybe because we haven't been on in forever, but who's to say. I haven't looked into it because it was easy enough to resolve. I'll get some more out of RoI, but I will say I'm not liking Supremacy in PvP. I thought I would, but it comes down to two things: Striker Titans everywhere and teammates not picking up Crests. Getting kills doesn't mean crap if you don't pick up the Crests. Seeing dumbass running away from them is so infuriating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 That "everything is ready to upgrade" thing happened to everyone after the update. Extends the content. Yeah, I was dreading Supremacy because a) PvP still favours shotgun rushers, particularly titans and b) your average pub player can't handle objective-based game modes. I've been enjoying the content. I really wish we got more story stuff though, it just feels like a constant tease. The Rasputin stuff intrigues me but I don't think we'll learn anything more until Destiny 2. It felt a bit too easy getting the Gjallerhorn (the missions are fun though) but then I'm extremely glad the exotic quests haven't been like the old bullshit from before. Just working on getting the Khvostov at the moment and I got the Trespasser from an engram. Might buy the Warlock boots from Xur later but they sound like a waste of a slot that could have Starfire Protocol (probably the best Warlock exotic since they've improved the Ignite ability). Right now, I'm just focused on getting higher gear as quickly as possible. Right now, the best first steps are: - Buy a 350 ghost from a vendor since those don't really drop. - If you've got a class item legendary engram, exchange it for the one from Shiro rather than decrypt it. - Get the new artifact from Tyra as soon as possible. After that, you'll want to be doing a public event each day (you get 10 legendary marks and a legendary engram; I hear this can be done on all three characters each day if you're that way inclined) and focus on getting as many packages as possible. This means ranking up vanguard, faction and even testing guns for the gunsmith (he can reward you with some Suros weapons which are ace as well). I've just got to 350 so will focus on heroic strikes. I think my regular clan team wants to try the raid tonight but I think we're far below the recommended light for clearing the whole thing.

CorgiShinobi Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Pretty sure you'll want to get a Vanguard or Crucible Ghost Shell as they're only 75 Legendary Marks. I made the mistake of getting a Faction Ghost Shell and those go for 100. Either way, I infused the one I bought with my Dread Explorer Ghost Shell. It's the best one for Rise of Iron because of Spinmetal and Fallen Glimmer bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Just so! I got a vanguard one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 That's the one. It's definitely worth allying with one faction or the other (Dead Orbit, Future War Cult or New Monarchy) because, like the vanguard and crucible, after you rank them up past 3 they supply packages with higher light weapons and armour as well possible extras like class items and ghosts. To expedite the ranking up process, you can give them motes, heavy weapon synthesises (synthesese?!), weapon and armour parts as well as the planetary materials. You'll probably get a bunch of motes from just doing activities and engrams, heavy synths can be bought from Xur in multiples of 3 for 1 strange coin each, weapon & armour parts can be bought from Banshee and the planetary materials you'll be grabbing a bunch while on patrol but also from doing the bounties related to a planet (e.g. Mars one rewards Relic Iron) and from getting a ghost that gives a chance to earn more when collecting engrams on certain planets. I think the progression path is meant to be something like: 1. Story missions to get to around 340. Ranking up the record book by doing some patrol stuff can get you some gloves and boots if you're missing those. 2. Playing regular 320 strikes and completing bounties to rank up for vanguard packages and get better drops. Do a public event each day to get a legendary engram and 15 legendary marks (someone somewhere said 10 but I definitely got 15 when I checked). 3. Do the Gjallarhorn quest to get a 350 heavy weapon, which also happens to be the best heavy ever. 4. Once you're in the 350s, play the Heroic strikes because bosses will drop higher light level blue gear each time so you'll see a steady progression through to the 360s. Might be a good idea just to equip the higher gear before collecting the boss drops rather than keep infusing each time. Then when you're 360+ you can start working at the raid; just don't expect to clear it at that level because the final bit is 380. Either way, I infused the one I bought with my Dread Explorer Ghost Shell. It's the best one for Rise of Iron because of Spinmetal and Fallen Glimmer bonus. That's actually what I did with a blue drop from heroic strikes. Although, I'm usually getting anything but the strikes on earth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Oh man, if we lose our characters I'm gonna be so pissed. That was the major promise of Destiny from the start, that you'll carry your same character through the entire series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
