Destiny: Rise of Iron


d-dave

Recommended Posts

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.

Hey bought the Destiny: Digital Collectors edition yesterday and I'm really lost, I used the jump to level 25 token thinking I'd just play the game at level 25 but really confused at the moment and suggestions or help for a newbie?? thanks!

is there a dedicated story mode? and did I skip it accidentally by using the lvl 25 token?

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

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
