Destiny 360/PS3/XBOX ONE/PS4 review

[Panta Rhei]

Gave this baby a spin, Mythoclast is still fairly strong in PvP. I outgun a lot of people, but it takes a bit too long to kill compared to the SUROS now. Very typical that a lot of enemies managed to duck away with a sliver of health.

Ammo is kind of low and its not very stable either, though I have Zen Moment unlocked now. But the weapon doesn't feel entirely skilless atm.

[H-Man]

I don't think anything other than a sniper headshot kills quicker than a decent pistol at the moment. My Hawkmoon tends to kill with 2 headshots and completely dominates autorifles at medium and long rangse. At short range it depends who got the drop on who

[bwi]

are the destiny servers down for anyone else?

also got some strange messages about user content not being allowed on my account and another about chat.

PSN borked?

[Panta Rhei]

PSN is borked yet again and I'm getting sick of this. I pay, I don't have all the spare time in the world, I just think its inexcusable. Is netflix down this much? Don't think so.

[bwi]

i expect that its the rush to get system 2.0 software.

[Tobal]

yeah 2.0 buggered up most of psn, and thus destiny. I was getting disconnected every 5 minutes.

[Lebowski]

so having a free evening and loads of stuff to do got me nowhere on destiny last night as psn is down again!!! thanks sony. Maybe they could sign themselves up to the Microsoft cloud for there servers, as they seem a lot more reliable then the string and tin cans sonys using.

what can we do sony aren't going to fix how crap it is and looking on twitter and the news sites this morning no one seems to care that sony broke psn again. psn not woking is not even news worthy any-more as its that common an occurrence lol

psn being so flaky will sway my decision on multi-format games in future though and all i can see it doing is harming Sony in the long run they have the lead now but its gonna get eroded if they keep this up.

First Tuesday I didn't attempt the Raid...and don't feel like I missed out as the rest of my usual team went ahead as usual.

Destiny has finally lost its hold on me!
I think I will shelve it until both the expansions are out, come back fresh next year.

[Family Fry]

Well the first expansion has been dated for December 8th, stand alone price ?19.99 or ?34.99 as part of expansion pass, save ?5 yayyyy.....

Hold onto your pants, level cap is being raised!
30-32, how generous.

As part of Sony's DLC exclusivity deal with Activision, PlayStation players get an extra strike called The Undying Mind, set in the Black Garden, as well as a new exotic item.

PSN was attrocious last night. Constant disconnections and loads of weird audio issues, like not being able to hear people with mics (a constant issue with PSN, but even worse last night), and enemy sound effects missing. Up until Destiny, I never used to play much online on my PS3, but if this is the low standard of the service in general then I think I may regret starting the game on the PS3, on the basis that I would carry on with my character(s) on the PS4 when I eventually get the next gen consoles.

Hot damn 20quid for 1 dlc, thats pretty damn steep

[Panta Rhei]

not going to bite. I am Level 30 and look freaking awesome (full raid gear with Thunderdevil and Wolf cloak). Besides they should first fix this damn game. Raid is in shambles right now. 4 dudes getting warped, or only 2? Possible and frequent now.

[Tobal]

Yeah we noticed a few problems outside the usual disconnects tonight, seem it randomly warp the relic holder back into the flux on his own after just getting through portal. Did see everyone get warped into same flux, 15 secs after they sent the first 3 guys in... hopefully this is all down to lag from psn.

Anyone notice the chests don't seem to repop as fast anymore, did 2 farms and it was a lot longer between seeing chests on my loops than normal...

Noticed this in the raid earlier too. Also noticed that Atheon can now walk on thin air! I'm assuming that's Bungie's "quick fix" solution to prevent people knocking him off the edge. It looked stupid. They really need to think things through more thoroughly before issuing these patches, their priorities are completely off, there's countless other annoying bugs that need attention. Every tom, dick, and harry has the Vex Mythoclast now, that horse has already bolted, so there's little point in fixing that issue while so many other serious issues remain. Twenty pounds for each DLC is definitely too much, and unless I can find cheap PSN credit nearer the time to bring it to ?15 max, I'll be thinking twice before purchase.

[Lebowski]

Did my first raid last night from the start we got to Atheon pretty confidently before a few had to call it a night about 11, the RNGesus must of been smiling on me as i got two pieces of raid armour one from a boss and one from a chest, so now I have the capability to get to to lvl 30. all off my first full venture into the raid. I also got a ton of ascendant shards which seem pretty hard to come buy at the moment. Outside of the raid all i seem to get is bloody ascendant energy,

So onwards to Atheon tonight which doesn't sound fun at all as they now have broken him even more by the sounds of it, I've had a crack at him before via a checkpoint, we tried to beat him the non cheese way and we got through 4 runs perfectly then it all went to pot shields not working missiles getting through the barrier and complete team wipes it was just a buggy random mess, you could forgive it if it wholly relied on skill but its pretty soul destroying to get though four relic runs perfectly only to have a game breaking bug wipe the entire team.
