Destiny 360/PS3/XBOX ONE/PS4 review

[Lebowski]

hit a bit of a brick wall the last few days, i seem to get nothing but accedent energy from the dailys, and the public events, I hit my mark limit on vanguard midweek so that now seems pointless. Crucible pvp seems to be a real slog with 2 marks for a loss and 3 marks for a win with no real other way to get marks up. Ive played a few times since the hotfix and they really seem to have messed up the balance, the vex mioclast rifle seems to be very popular and even though its been nerfed its still only two body shots and your dead.

The auto-rifle seems to have been completely castrated yet shotguns can still one hit kill you close up, and now we have fusion rifles to worry about, ive seen some very good fusion rifle players recently, the extra time it takes to get a kill with auto rifles has made this gun deadly.

[Daragon]

Finished both of those bounties this weekend, Bad Juju is a pretty weak weapon, Pocket Infinity is decent enough, but the funny thing was I got a legendary fusion rifle better than it during the run up to unlocking it. Currently going for the Shotgun bounty but the PvP element of it is going to be rather tricky.

I had heard that bad juju was due a buff, so I went for it. I have a pretty decent pulse rifle already so will see how it compares. Also got a nice legendary fusion rifle too, but the thought of one which works in full auto is quite appealing. Of all the exotic bounty weapons, which is generally believed to be the best? Obviously all the different pvp related feats are a bit beyond my skill level currently.

A nice side effect is that pistols are very viable now. I was getting my arse handed to me before the patch, but am now consistently in a positive k/d ratio. The auto rifle still seems to be the weapon of choice with ppl who dominate pvp, though. I would rather they had gimped the damage more rather than mess with stability.

The PvP side of Invective is not as hard as it sounds. You can get the 25 spread even with negative k/d because Assists count too. As long as kill + assist outweigh your deaths, you're good.

Lots of people rating the Suros Regime and Ice Breaker both of which are sold by Xur. Waiting for him to get them back in stock.

Lebowski public events still give you accendent material even if you do get 100 vanguard marks, not sure how that myth got started but it's rubbish. Got a ton of material this week after I started farming public events even with 100 vanguard marks.

Panta Rhei, really? that should be very easy then as I'm always getting my kills stolen.
I've been the best player in quite a few matches and had quite a few strikes so hopefully it won't take that long.

I completed that bounty yesterday. I'm rubbish at PvP and it only took me 4 games to get the 25 spread so not quite the massive chore I was expecting. Stand back with other team members and make the most of the heavy weapon drops. It's the Thorn PvP bounty that is the massive chore - getting 500 points (1 kill = 5 points, 1 death = -2 points) took me several days. After doing that, I've warmed to PvP a bit since my initial slagging it off, but I only ever play it to get PvP bounties so I can power up weapons.

My PS3 headset arrived today, so any PS3 people who want to start the Raid tomorrow after the weekly reset, let me know. I'll be available most nights this week to carry it on. I've been through it up to the final boss (where most of the team had no mics) so I'm not going in completely blind, but I'm by no means an expert. I spent most of the time following instuctions from those who had mics, and just generally protecting/reviving.

Maybe i worded it wrong I'm still getting ascendant materials it just seem to be heavily biased towards giving me ascendant energy instead of shards, I've been after one ascendant shard to get my next armour upgrade for about a week now.

I'm about 8 marks short of a legendary assault riffle, so roll on the Tuesday reset. I'm also saving my crucibal marks for a dead orbit helm but at 140 crucibal marks. A few hours play play nets you about 20-25 marks it is painfully slow going.

[bcass]

I changed my score for this from 8 to 10. I haven't been as compelled to play a game this incessantly for a very long time. Playing the VoG Raid last week tipped it to 10 for me. The Raid has such a brilliant atmosphere, and the amount of chaos is, at first, utterly bewildering. The way you slowly start to work things out as a group is pitch perfect game design. The DLCs can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned.

I'm getting loads of disconnections today with something about centipedes and caterpillars. Calling it a day as its just getting on my ****

[Tobal]

Suros is definitely the universal weapon of choice the flick for impact or range coupled with the slow rate of fire keep the recoil and stability down and the HP recover is just the cherry on the cake for that extra edge on 1v1 duels, I reckon it still pretty even at mid range+ vs any scout rifle player worth their salt.

Only new news for me is finally getting Thorn the Dot perk... it was a tough struggle with the insane recoil on it but now it feels like I could take on the world at all distances, using the dot to scare scouts/snipers into hiding do I can rush them. Also brought the titan body xur was selling at the weekend, it offers a different play style over the perk laden heads, for 1 extra grenade stock and SP/HVY ammo reserves along with a lot of DIS so you can have the 20 sec recast on grenades very easily which had me looking into head and arm combos which use grenade damage to boost other perks.

Yeah, just shoot alongside your teammates and count those assists as kills. I won it in 2 games, camping a control point and chasing Heavy ammo. After that, save up on 12500 glimmer.

Already got max glimmer 25,000 and about 30 unused House Banners on top of that.

Bcass, I'll join up on the PS3 raid, don't have a mic so have to use chat if need, but I'll watch a video of the raid pre-hand to know what I'm doing, so I don't go in blind.

Watching the battle with the final boss I see you can force him off the edge he also gets stuck on one of pillar as well.

[Neon Ignition]

I reckon I've got 4 missions and 2 Strikes left before I've finished the game. Made decent progress last night when the servers decided to work. Funny thing with the Strike missions so far is that they've all had a 'safe spot' at the bosses. Once you locate it, it makes the missions much easier.

Ditched my hunter and switched to warlock, enjoying things a lot more, already done the nightfall and vault of glass (1st time for both) this week, good fun too, found all the groups on http://www.destinyteamfinder.com/ its actually funny how this fan made site and chat room has a great community feel than bungie.net
All the people ive played with have been decent blokes too, good fun all the way

Pulse Rifle: ? / ?

Hand Cannon: Hawkmoon / Lord High Fixer

Sniper Rifle: Ice Breaker / ?
