Destiny [PS3,X360,PS4,XO]

[RenegadeRocks]

If you guys didn't like Destiny before or you were getting bored of it, then I'd just wait until the next DLC (which is supposed to be big). They basically just keep giving us more of the same, which is fine for us who enjoy Destiny.

Also, if you don't know many people that play Destiny, then it's not very fun to play by yourself. Destiny is all about playing with friends, whether it's PVP or PVE.

I like destiny a lot, just that the money being asked for these dlcs feels very over the top. The content is good, but the dlcs are overpriced.

I will be buying HOW too soon, but I still feel we are being very shortchanged. A new class or a new planet is very very overdue now. Is comet really bringing a new planet ? What does the leak say?

The campaign content of the DLC has been shit. Raids and strikes are good, but the DLC have very little content. I made the stupid mistake of buying the game bundle with the season pass.

I enjoyed playing through Destiny a lot, but the DLC has been a huge letdown. I'd also like to add that the season pass is $35. That isn't cheap. The two DLC released so far have featured the same enemies in the same locations from the normal game. There is very little new content, other than a couple new missions using all of the same assets. At least that is true for the campaign/story part of the game. I guess the focus must have been on the multiplayer, because a couple of strikes and raids certainly isn't worth $35.

stuff that was shown / told but still unavailable / locked on Destiny

- Charlemage Vault on Mars
- An area behind mars' observation tower (the 1st load zone is already available on disc. The untextured stones was WHITE pre-HoW. Post-HoW it became BLACK)
- Cave near The Grottos (the basic shape already available)
- 3 locked area on Rasputin bunker (1 already finished, 2 unfinished)
- Crow/Uldren on earth
- Clovis Bray underground (the entrance already available)
- The Colonial Ship (bungie said this is important story element. The entrance already available on disc)
- Campus 9's super big useless empy cave
- Area beyond Campus 9 that have lots of vex gate. There still 1 area with "bouncy wall". ViDoc also showed we fight with fallen here, instead of Vex.
- new NPC on Lighthouse
- cosmodrome area with pine trees.
-

i think there's more and i posted it on reddit too but forgot the link. It got a bunch of negative vote though -___-

area potentially to be reused
- VoG alternate path
- The train station (it broken but connected with The Black Garden)
- The black garden upper part that you see right after climbing the high stairs that goes right to the cliff.

EDIT:
man.. if i have PS3 with custom firmware, i will be very glad to memory hack Destiny to bits to find locked contents.

currently people prefer to use their memory hacking ability to cheat rather than playing detective.

 

[orangpelupa]

btw this means comet will be really big!
they can combine locked contents, with unfinished contents, with old contents in reverse, and with new contents for one big DLC

or they can be stingy and only give reversed old contents and a bit locked contents

 

[NRP]

Do the goddamn Blades of Crota ever spawn anymore? All I ever see are those damn Pack of Wolves. I have a bounty I can't complete because these idiots never spawn anymore.

 

[djskribbles]

They don't spawn anymore. You have to do the first TDB DLC story mission to kill the blades of crota now. There's one near the beginning of the mission. Kill him, go to orbit, restart the mission and kill him again until you've completed the bounty. Not really any point in doing the Eris bounties, unless you need XP.

 

[orangpelupa]

@NRP
rather than go to orbit, its quicker to just run until you meet Fist of Crota. There a pool of water there. Shoot your own feet.

Run back until you hear the "screeching hive spawning" and notification of "ritual is starting". Do the thing again.

@djskribbles
A: eris? who's eris?
A: ah! you mean that crazy woman that stands on that dark corner and keeps muttering eyes or something?
B: Yeah! Thats eris!
C: she is CRAZY, she stole my space-ship balloon and tied to the railings

 

[orangpelupa]

btw made a video to recap the story of house of wolves

https://youtu.be/298XYUiBfss

want to make a recap video for total 5 minutes but cutting stuff (without missing the content) is hard

Ahh luh this game...

Skolas is void burn this week, hopefully I can take him down! Golden opportunity! This should be the week! But yet I still have no keys Have not found one through any means in a while.

I said all that suff about not caring about keys...didn't realize the new elemental primaries drop from those chests though? So I do kinda need them...

Also, I wonder how many Etheric light you can buy in level 3 IB? If it's 1 probably not worth it. If it's a lot though...I'm grinding!

 

[orangpelupa]

its unlimited but expensive glimmer

 

[Rangers]

You can farm glimmer at exclusion zone though...i'll look into it more. wish i'd saved my consumables though, i was using them on purpose to conserve item slots! I knew I'd want them sometime, had about 12k+, and several 5k ones too.

New patch notes of awesome!

• The first Wanted Fallen Bounty completed each week is now guaranteed to drop a Treasure Key
• Greatly increased the drop rate of Treasure Keys from the small chests at the end of the Prison of Elders
• Increased the drop rate of Treasure Keys from Ether Chests
• Ammo consumables can now stack to 100 (Mod Note - Added here because WOW)
• • Increased the drop rate of Treasure Keys from Ether Chests
  • Ether Chests may only be looted once per spawn
  • Ether Chests will no longer grant ammo consumables when opened
  • Ether Chests will now grant a small amount of Queen's Wrath reputation when opened
  • Ether Chests now have a chance to drop Tokens of Flight, Identity, and Judgment
  
  No more repeat ether chest farming, but sounds like they more than made up for it with increased drops. I had never gotten around to really farming keys anyway yet.
• And very nice to get 100 ammo synths stack. Roundabout way of increasing our item slots really, nifty.

Love how this forum formatting screws all up because of bullet points pasted. And you literally cant delete them.

 

[djskribbles]

Nice update!

 

[Rangers]

Yeah, slots are at such a premium any backdoor way to give us more is great. Plus of course ending the special synth scourge.

Seems Pelupa is wrong, you can only buy one Etheric Light from IB level 3. Screw that, it's supposed to be hours of grinding to hit 3. Not even close to worth it. I'm better off taking cracks at POE35 with any excess time.

 

[orangpelupa]

seriously only 1 etheric light?

https://www.bungie.net/en/Vendors/1/?vendor=242140165

it says 5000 glimmer for etheric light but no limitation.

 

[djskribbles]

If you find a good group and leave it for later in the week, you can reach rank 3 in like 2 hours or even less. I'm just doing it for fun and I'm already rank 2 and a quarter after a few hours. I forgot to buy the buff earlier on too.

 

[orangpelupa]

but thats because you and your team are superb

 

[Nisaaru]

5 duplicate exotics dropped in the last 6 NFs I played....no etheric light yet.

 

[djskribbles]

but thats because you and your team are superb

We're not bad.

 

[Rangers]

seriously only 1 etheric light?

https://www.bungie.net/en/Vendors/1/?vendor=242140165

it says 5000 glimmer for etheric light but no limitation.

Then what's the point of (reddit, bungie?) saying you can buy EL at lv 3 and lv 5? If you can buy all you want at 3 there's no need to mention lv 5...there must be a limit.

If you seriously can buy all you want I'll probably surely try! I have over 20k glimmer so that's 4 right there, and you can farm 5k glimmer quick.

If I want to finish out PVE too though, damn it would be a time sink, I already do POE 32, 34, nightfall, weekly, and want to try POE35 on 3X characters. At least queens bounties on one character (ignoring any normal bounties this week lets say). Plus just the general dinking around that goes on, changing weapons, tower visits etc.

Edit: Nah I confirmed with some googling it's 1 at lv 3 and 1 at lv 5. Some guy did the IB rep weekly reset trick so he was already lv 5 and he confirmed he could only buy two.

If you find a good group and leave it for later in the week, you can reach rank 3 in like 2 hours or even less. I'm just doing it for fun and I'm already rank 2 and a quarter after a few hours. I forgot to buy the buff earlier on too.

I literally have almost no time to play Destiny these days: Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

Yeah, always been a killer for me on IB and nothing can be done about it. Whatever I would do has to be done almost exclusively tue-fri when the buffs are smallest.
