Yeah Iron Banner is being mega weird. I finished my bounties for the day so I'll try again tomorrow.

Played a couple games of crucible at lunch, error code ant eater right before rewards, no xp

Think I'll skip IB tonight and play later this week when it's working better and the buff is higher.

Sounds good (possibly).

We have six now. One is a new guy who has never raided before but wants to try it. You guys ok with that?

Just make sure you show him that extra hidden chest that spawns behind that ledge where Atheon spawns

I'm so happy that I died right before Atheon went down on my first VoG and never got the experiance of jumping for that extra chest.

I did, however, get the privilege of unloading on a gorgon for a Gjallarhorn. Thanks, Mega.

Picked up my own copy, had to wait a day for their patch to download to fix their broken game but I finally got to play! Was surprised to see the DLC codes still worked considering I picked up the game preowned. Favourite thing to do so far? Stand on the Crucible (or whatever Mass Effect rip off name it has) and dance until other people join in. I had six all going for it at one point.

After I found the game a real bastard when playing as my friends Warlock, I went with the Hunter class and picked the robot race. While my friends abilities seem much better than mine (that fire gun thing is practically useless), in just a normal skirmish my class seems much more noob friendly. He seems to be able to take more damage, reload faster, his grenade is more useful, so is his melee. He also looks badass, like a proper warrior, my friends Warlock armour looked ridiculous, all garish and neon.

I know the Hunters are meant to be all about rifles, stealth and range but as secondary weapon ammo is always so scarce compared to your primary, I've found it much easier to just run around and shoot people in the face with the hand cannon and then stab them in the face with my knife when reloading.

As it isn't as tough as when I was playing as my friends character, I'm not struggling as much as he did and I'm enjoying myself a lot more. Bullshit stealth enemies right at the end of a really long darkness slog are unfairly punishing but they've only caught me out once so far. Thralls are by far the most frustrating enemy, I just can't seem to shoot fast enough. Levelling up is pretty slow though, even for an RPG, at least the heroic options for past levels makes grinding a little less of a bore.

Only bit I am stuck on so far is a scout mission with a series of beacons, came up for recommended level four but all beacons lead me to a ?? enemy who kills me in one hit. Am I missing something?

Oh yeah, PVP, apparently there are no "level advantages" but I guess we have a different definition of the phrase as the game dropped me into a freeforall where everyone was thirty levels higher than me and one shotted me over and over. Are online games still this unbalanced?

As an aside, what does all the discipline and strength attributes etc mean with your armour?

[Blu-Benny]

Why'd you get it if it's a "broken" game??

The perks on your armor play a big part in your characters abilities.

If it's normal crucible, there's a buff to even everyone out. If you were in the iron banner and weren't at least a 32, you were just begging to be demolished.

And FYI, warlocks are better than both Titans and hunters.

[Pizzamorg]

I said to fix their broken game, IE referencing the giant patch which I assume was there to fix the state of a game they released it in. Right?

Yeah it was just the usual crucible but there didn't seem to be any kind of softening, I was slaughtered the moment I spawned.

I guess Warlock's get better the longer you stick it out.

[Show spoiler]But seriously each class has its own pro/cons and the more you play the more you will find the one that fits your play style.

Giant patches for Destiny are only there to pre-load DLC (even if you don't buy it). Usually their patches that actually fix stuff are very small.

You had both dlc's to download as well don't forget.

Not sure as out the issues you had in the crucible. I was playing it last week and sub-10 players were able to kill me......nit often mind you, but it happened like once.

[Pizzamorg]

Wow downloading content I can't even use!

[Fuz-10]

I am happy to announce that Ferris FINALLY got his Fatebringer last night!

If he doesn't have it maxed out by Friday, I've discussed it with Bungie and they will remove it from his inventory!

The dlc's?? Get to level 20 and you'll be able to do everything b/c then you can buy the higher level armor.
