We could arrange a beers for the weekend before!

Looking forward to the 'Bungie Bounty Days' , hopefully it will be an even split between xbox/ps. First one tonight at 9, but no mention of the platform yet.

The Last Word in Supremacy is a good way to get hand cannon kills.

Was supremacy I ended up getting them in, was doing another quest for that as well at the time.

I have two ill wills and tried using them but it was fire, wait an eternity, be killed 7 times, fire again.

Got the tex mechanica exotic one, last word or curse or something, found that decent enough.

Supremacy is mental also

IB is back next Tuesday. Everyone's favourite game mode has been selected.

Weapons are Sidearm and RL

Clash?

I'll pass

Ill Will but they are the highest impact archetype so are slow firing and SLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW reloading - its like your Guardian has given up on life when you ask them to reload.

Fun fact for ill will it's actually quicker to hit options switch weapon switch back to ill will exit menu than it is to wait for reload to finish #pro tips

Game seriously trolling me tonight. Spent a few hours trying to flawless Crota solo. Had the usual missteps, but was finally at the ole Scrote, looking good.

Got one rotation in, 3 swings, easy finish. Go for the second run, 3 swings should do it.

Nope. Fúcker has a smidgen of health left, smokes me like a scrub. Controller and swears go flying. Raging. Had already cursed out the baby on an earlier run for attacking me as I was going for the sword.

Have my rage moments too gaming. Not as bad as I used to be. God of War 2 sweet suffering Zeus. Final boss battle, twisted controller in half. Hulk smash!

Theres a place in laois where they connected up the Siro 1Gig broadband, they have a large community hall and very little in terms of traffic on that 1 GIG connection so I can make a call and see about renting it out

God of war ascension, ****ing gorgon swarm near the end of the game. How I didn't break the controller I'll never know.
That and jinpachi in tekken 5 or 6...


I didn't think you could solo all of crotas end?

Like to see a stream of your next attempt.

There are far more competent players with YouTube videos up of it. It's not hard for the most part.

Getting across the bridge was the bit I could never do. Seems like I just didn't have my agility maxed, such a gom.

Finally managed it tonight. Just ugh all around. Glad to have the trophy completed at least.

Now that's over any chance of Mrs. Toilets finishing the Farmer Brown story from a couple of weeks back.

Nightfall is Sunless cell. Modifiers are:

Epic
Arc Burn
Specialist
Juggler
Airborne

Seems like another WoL bubble, tether & 4th horseman effort.

after last week's just about anything is going to be a walk in the park

Probably LTTP, but I see you can compare guns in DIM. Nice tool to help decide what weapons to keep.

When you select a gun, the compare icon is to the right of the weapon name (looks like the standard copy icon).

cavemeister

Heroic strike is Arc damage with special weapons favoured.

Myself and a buddy took out the archon priest with Arc snipers in under 10 seconds yesterday - It was insane.

Another top tip for DIM, they have a website you can use now:
beta.destinyitemmanager.com

You don't need to use the Chrome extension.

Biden approves of this

There is a fantastic app you can d/l from Play and App store called "Ishtar Commander for Destiny"

It's the best app for managing and moving gear I have ever come across.

Kudos to the developers!

Hail 2 Da Chimp

Most of the people I've played with use Ishtar Commander alright, great app. Great for fast switching.

DIM has some great features but can be slow from your phones web browser. There's a great load out builder, for getting T12 builds, which I use quite a bit. DIM can search your characters equipped, carried and vaulted items for your load out builder.

Destiny Tailor for example, can only search your equipped items.

Finally popped the nightfall cherry last night.


Not as bad as I was expecting

gimli2112

aye NFs aren't too bad now. Back in the olden days you'd go into them under levelled with terribad guns and be sent back to orbit if your team wiped.
I spent at least an hour under the platform in the Archon Priest clearing it before they removed the glitch. They used to be much scarier.
