Wheres the option to que for raids? I wanted to do leviathan the other day but could only load in solo

Also, anybody in any decent clans? looking for one thats fairly active

Select the orange icon beside the raid to solo queue for a guided game. Its slow though due to groups being restricted to having members of only a single clan.

There was a split and there are two clans now boards and S*O*.

Both are present on the boards and are mainly ps4.

Boards is to the best of my knowledge organised a lot on discord, wheres s*o* is on psn message group.

I can't speak for boards I'm sure one of their lads will set you right there.

But s*o* is very active we'd have about 10+ people one most nights.

We've Sherpa'd several guys to their first raid recently and myself and a few more are active in PvP every night.

So you have optionsðŸ˜

is there any active xbox groups on boards?

That is odd. The icon should be beside the raid activity and the. Nightfall as shown in the image below.

How's the Russian mates.

Guided games are available on PC. Not sure if they've been activated for the Last Wish raid yet. I think they have been though.

On most nights, really enjoying the expansion. I think the Russian lads figured me out for noob fairly early

so, a few weeks in to Forsaken and I reckon €40 is well worth it for this expansion.

Raid looks awesome, but i've barely scratched it.
Dreaming City is amazing, as are the changes to it.
Blind Well is MEH currently - no weapons worth the time.
Tangled Shore is a great location too.

Changes in pvp have got the community going again.

Not played the new maps or mode yet (released yesterday).

Warden of Nothing strike was great fun.
Corrupted strike is AMAZING.

Still room to improve though - i think there needs to be far more guns, even accounting for Random Rolls. I think the economy needs to be looked at and armor needs to be looked at too.

There is indeed. Search for Irish Boards XBL I think. Or add me on the friends list and I'll get one of the admins to add you. There's normally a good few on of an evening now.

Edit - I have you on the friends list already mossy!

Yep it's nice that gambit lunas howl and redrix quest, actually give you a grind to chase and reward investment.

I'm loving the pcp right now, and the new game mode breakthrough is great craic altogether.

My one complaint is masterwork cores... Why have they "forsaken" me.

oh so the raids yer speaking of are the nightfall 1-3 men?

I was thinking 6 man raids

I havent high enough power to do the nightfalls yet, currently at 515

Any recomendations on what to do on my way to 540power?

Currently im just doing weeklies, which ive nearly all done now. Outside them, whats a good thing to do to grind the gear levels?

I keep getting engrams awarded randomly it appears, do they just get awarded randomly or how are they done?

The image shows the icon beside the Nightfall node. Guided Games are available for the Raids and Raid Lairs too. 515 is high enough for the nightfall if you use Sleeper with solar singe and heavyweight as the modifiers.

As for gear, you also get powerful gear for some of the bounties, the daily activity, gambit/valor/glory rank ups before your first reset, tier 4 Blind Well and the Shattered Throne dungeon(590LL activity)

ah ha, i think i found it, on the image you showed it just says "Recommended power level 540" so i never clicked into the orange nightfall icon. Just did there and "Seeker" and "Guide" show up. So i take it i que "Seeker"? Also i have a friend i play with can we que in this together as a duo?

Also i keep seeing "Blind well" showing up in my scanning of destiny 2 reddits, where do i access it? Is it a specific strike on a planet? worth farming?

Sorry with all the Q's, im a noob and only playing a week :pac:

Thanks a mil!

No bother welcome to the grind.

Blind well is in the dreaming city and it is forsaken version of escalation protocol from warmind.

There is a map marker on dreaming city for blind well.

On PC here and only playing through Curse of Osisis at the moment. Any suggestions what to do, do I just continue playing through story mode with the odd strike / Knightfall / raid until im eventually ready for Forsken?

Burn through osiris as quick as you can because it's the poorest DLC of the lot.

Warmind is leagues better
And forsaken is fantastic

Yeah just burn through it stick to the main story, i grinded from level 1 to 50 on my first character and i was doing everything on my way through the game, by the time i got to forsaken i was like level 40 something.. Forsaken is accessible at level 30, so i advise to just stick to main story missions. Unless of course you're a completionist or also if you just enjoy doing all the missions, go for it.

But eh, yeah alot of stuff to do at end of game anyway :pac:

Ok so reason i think i havent stumbled upon the blind well yet is i just dont think ive reached it. I just finished the talisman (got distracted with bounties and gambit) and now ive a mission to go to the dreaming city to meet up with yer whan, mission is called "Beyond the watch tower", so i figure im heading towards it?

Only played 1 game in that mode last night but seemed to come across a massive flaw already? Theres 3 points, your base, the middle (neutral) and the enemy base. From what I could tell you begin the game fighting for the neutral base, once captured you move towards capturing the enemy base. Pretty similar to War on Cod. However from the rounds I played, if my team capped the middle base but didn't succeed in capturing the enemy base we got the loss.

So it would go - we capture middle, objective moves to capturing enemy base. Enemy spawns beside their base so this is a lot more difficult - they defend base - we get the loss.

Which is well, D1Y1 Salvage levels of idiotic logic. So the best tactic from what I could see would be to just let the opposition cap middle then defend your base for 2 mins and win the game? Now maybe I've understood this wrong but I don't think I did.

Actually:

At the beginning of each round, players will fight to capture a central zone. Once the zone is captured, your team will deploy the Breaker. As players work to deploy the Breaker, the zone can be contested, resulting in an epic tug-of-war between the two teams. Once the Breaker is captured, it will be used to assault and hack the enemy team’s Vault.

If you hack the enemy team’s Vault, you win the round. If you fail to hack the enemy team’s Vault within the round time limit, you lose. If you are in the process of hacking the enemy team’s Vault when time runs out, you will enter Sudden Death until you either hack the Vault, or the enemy removes all your progress.

^ as per Bungie - yeah very very flawed game mode.

managed to get some potatoes in my first round though :pac: :

The defenders spawn timer gets longer the more you kill I noticed.

I got an invite to play with some of the guys I ground out luna with and we won most games due to Co ordination.

You capture middle then blitz the defenders with your supers and heavy.

If you just truckle in one by one your done.

It reminded me of an overwatch type mode.

Just a shame its getting locked behind comp play list so most won't play it again.
