Destiny: Rise of Iron

Well, I'm still playing, though infrequently due to moving very soon.  Today was the reveal stream for the latest expansion for Destiny called the Rise of Iron.  Quickly:

  • $30 USD
  • New Crucible Mode, several maps
  • New RAID!!!
  • New Story, quests and cut scenes
  • New Area - The Plaguelands
  • New Social Area - Felwinter's Peak
  • New Enemies - Mutated Fallen - they got freaky with a techno-disease
  • You get to become an Iron Lord!!!
  • Oh, and G-Horn is returning!  Pre-Order to get it in black, otherwise there is a quest for it.  I'm not sure what shape the G-Horn will be in though if it's going to be given to everyone like that....I'm going to play with it tonight again!

So I'm super excited for it!   I still enjoy the game in spurts.  It's not a game that I can play for days on end anymore (and I think that's OK), but for a little bit, it's still super fun.  Needless to say, I can't wait!

Anyone else going to jump in with me?

i'm still playing destiny.  Enjoying it as well.  I've been making sure to do the weekly Challenge in POE as well as a King's Fall raid once a week.  Looking forward to this DLC.  Not a fan of the new armor shown for the titan class.  I believe that gear was a play on the new enemies.

I think each class wore example armour.  Like the Titan is raid, the hunter was trials, and the warlock was iron banner.

I hope I have enough time this week to do in for a helm.  I've mostly stayed away becuase I was doing other stuff than PvP, but I'm starting suck way less.

I've never played destiny,  I was gonna go pick it up today. Is there still a decent community for the noob's to start from the beginning? 

If on Xbox 1 I'll help you out anytime

Ps4 thanks though.  I played for a little while yesterday.  Seems like all the early game stuff You can solo.

Actually, you can solo most of the game. It's not until you start doing strikes that you need teammates.  Once you hit 40, you'll do a lot of those.

I'd also suggest you get into the PvP. It will help your gun game big time! I had so much fun this past week in iron banner. Almost to rank 5, but there is next time. If you don't get mad at the PvP, it can be fun.

Welcome!

So there is a story mode. The missions are planet based.  You can check quest log to find out what's next.  You'll go from earth, to the moon, to Venus and to Mars.  That's vanilla.  Then The Dark Below quests start with Eris Morn. The House of Wolves with Petra Venge in the reef.  Then the Taken King starts off on Phobos.

You can play any of the missions in any order at 25.  You'll have to do the main story first (don't quote me, I have finished with my warlock yet).

You can hope into the Crucible. I don't know how familiar you are with FPS games, but Destiny is a different beast in some regards. Just try to have fun.  Year one, I swore off Crucible becuase of the Thorn quest... ugh!

The short version: enjoy the game, do read the grimoire, and don't stress too much.  You can worry about stuff at level 40. Like iron banner, trials, raids and stuff.  I'd recommend that you do the planetary strikes before you leave each planet.  They are fun.

I hope this helps!  Please look me up if you're on Xbox one, Dionysusfiend!

Oh Doc, the destiny app is fairly useful.  But be very careful of the forums...toxic...like worse than the Tinderbox!

well went from level 28 to 38 today, just getting off now, main quest, the darkness below and the taken king all completed today.  Its a decent bit of fun, tho but finding players is hard

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
