Well, a thousand thankyous to those who already got the clan engrams for crucible and Nightfall. I got 300 chest armour, which I really needed, and a 300 Better Devils hand cannon, which I have wanted for a while. :hat:

 

The weekly Nightfall is currently the best end game thing in Destiny and this weeks is pretty good. Took us a couple of runs to work out where all the time oracles were and the momentum modifier is quite a nice change of scenery but nowhere near as fun as the ability buff last week. Going to have a crack at the prestige version later once I have the raid chores out of the way...

 

They need a Nightfall playlist in this ASAP with random mods.

If anyone is playing and wants to do some social mucking about then feel free to pop me an invite - PiercedFootSpike on PS4. Only 225 odd at the mo but none of my friends are playing and it's a bit annoying trying to group with people. 

 

If it helps, I'm quite bad at shooters in general and openly hostile on voice chat.

Io is the worst. As are the Taken. They’re not quite Flood levels of crappy enemy but whoever’s idea it was to have Psions respawn from one another can do one. 

This is my most hated aspect of the game. You reload and there are another fucking two of the bastards. Such a bad idea for an enemy.

 

Did complete the Nightfall last night with 8 seconds to spare. How the fuck you are supposed to do it with 5 minutes spare is beyond me!

And they've fixed the engrams coming out at 10. Got a 300 SMG which I put into my Mida Mini-tool. :D

 

Unrelated, I got Hard Light the other day, and put it straight in my vault. Just had a look at it - you can change the element!! 

But good luck shooting anything with it.

I really like the Taken. Interesting "takes" on all of the enemy types, and the Psions are actually pretty fun to deal with I find. 

 

We do need a new race of aliens, though. 1 at the very least.

Yep, you're right.

 

Speculation spoiler and campaign final cutscene significance

 

Spoiler

It's the Darkness and they are on their way now the Traveller has alerted them to his location but maybe not until D3 or if we are lucky the Taken King style DLC D2.5.

I guess we will get the SIVA fallen in a DLC this year as a "new" race. It's a pity they just refreshed all the existing races rather than spent time on something new for vanilla D2.

Spoiler

I'm personally hopeful it's for next autumns expansion. There's enough hints in the opening cg cinematic and that final post credits scene to tie it in nicely. It's definitely needed to help freshen up the world.

DLC thoughts: 

 

Spoiler

With the next DLC likely named Curse of Osiris (thanks Xbox store leak) and focusing on saving Osiris from the Vex, I'm not 100% sure we'll be getting a new raid. Which I think will be a massive let down. A new planet (Mercury) with its own patrol zone, story missions and public space (the lighthouse?!) is great, but 1 raid won't satiate the bulk of the core players long enough until the next big DLC drop.

 

I have an inkling that the end of story credits CGI will end up leading into the 2nd DLC which is rumoured to involve Rasputin, the Warmind AI created to protect against the Darkness.

I don't think there's any need to treat the names of the next two expansions as spoilers - the logos for each (Osiris and Rasputin) featured prominently in all advertising materials when the game was put out for pre-order. I'm not sure if Osiris will have a raid (it's looking shaky at the moment), but if it doesn't - unless there's a really steady and robust stream of new and challenging non-raid endgame content - the first few months of D2 is going to look a lot less content- and progression-rich than D1's equivalent period. I can't believe Bungie would want that to be a common perception, so I'm hoping the rumours are wrong.

 

(They can't exactly pull a House of Wolves with Osiris either, since Trials is already in - although if a mainstay of the expansion is simply beefing up the PvP side of things in some other way (maybe through the amazing inclusion of PvP game modes you can actually choose yourself) and throwing in a Prison of the Elders-style arena, there will officially be trouble, since HoW was easily the worst expansion in the series' history. Fighting Skolas and his bunch of scrubs in a fucking garbage dump ain't my idea of a legendary and epic encounter, Bungie. Even if you do make it less digestible than it should be by refusing to put checkpoints in it. So don't do that again, please. Ta.)

Are we due another road map of upcoming details soon?

 

I can't help think they'll add lots of "content" like Faction Rally - reasons to run through content again and again but not realise power/increase progression is the key to satisfying grinds.

 

They're fumbled the carrot :(

My fight against Skolas was immensely legendary and epic with so many clutch moments of mad panic jumping around said garbage dump doing laps before we could revive teammates before finally taking the bastard down all the while being trolled by Variks and his instructions. Dissssssable minesss yessss? While poisoned yesss! Have 300 adds to keep you company yessss? A true moment of Triumph in Y1 when under levelled, pretty shit afterwards.

 

I'd love a new raid in the DLC if only for the few days of discovery it brings however they really need to up their game up after the complete misstep with the Leviathan and its place in the story. I think I'd also be happy with some huge horde mode with proper scoring, medals and whatnot though.

I really liked Skolas too, @Wickedkitten was our lap running reviving heroine and gawd bless sunsinger for the clutch back from the dead smashing shit up moments!

I think they know they've done goofed with the end game, and may push "something" out to fix some of the issues along with some PvP addition/s.

 

The 1st expansion is Osiris themed, but could mean the return of a certain Exo that just vanished, as before the original game was released she was supposed to be Osiris' assistant.

 

Also, I dont think the 2nd expansion will include Rasputin , but likely the one on IO, hence why the planet feels a bit like an afterthought, as it'll likely have a bunch of extra content added for that planet, along with whatever end game stuff.

Skolas is a minor skirmish, not a worthy jewel in the endgame crown (let alone the whole of an expansion's endgame in itself). I think some of the recent Nightfalls are as good as that was - and they are good; it's just that they're just not what I would expect to be the sum total of Destiny's endgame (and at present, the best part of it). Nor would I expect endgame to be something that is essentially an arena fight, like PoE - that (or rather, CoE) is more like a nice little extra. So I hope Nate's correct. I hope there is a proper raid. I also hope the next raid is a bit more epic and consequential than Leviathan - or even just more congruous with the main campaign, like Wrath was. And has some droolworthy loot. Oh, and some proper writing around it, some grimoire. And a special raid ship and sparrow. And a new emblem per section completed. And while you're at it, could you fix it so that Gjallarhorn gets put back in the game, but only I get it? Cheers lads.

Remember the road map during the first week of Destiny?

'Great!' we all thought, they have a good content plan going forward. It was the one and only road map we ever got. :lol:
