Destiny - The Taken King is Released!

Have you run the raid yet?

 

No, I've still haven't had the time. I wanted to do it last Sunday but for whatever reason I didn't get on until late and then just did a few matches of Crucible. Didn't get on much again this past week because of work, but I should have the time to do it this week so if all works out I'll give it a go. I have all the gear I think I'll need so I know I'm ready, I just need the time now lol.

Ahh. :| not sure if I linked this yet or not, but here's how to Kings Fall, in .Gif. Freaking brilliant. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3p3yml/how_to_kings_fall_now_in_gif_form/ 
 
Can confirm that the .gifs explain everything perfectly.
 
I now own The First Curse (Exotic Last Word opposite), and No Time to Explain... both just a little bit underwhelming...
 
I also was part of a Crucible match lasting up to 80-90k score XD eventually we all got kicked :\

Took an hour to get into a VoG run due mostly to Playstation Online being slow. Keen Scout made that blinding mission in the quest super easy. The exotic is okay I guess.

 

The Nightfall this week didn't have the stupid exposure modifier so soloing was actually reasonable this time. Got the Arc Flayer mantle with a 309 cloak to infuse into it.

Nice!

Hard mode King's Fall is HARD. Well, Oryx is at least. Good god. After about an hour at Oryx, my team couldn't get past the first phase. For God's sake, they spawn knights that eat your corrupted light. :(

*puts on sunglasses*

 

oh yeahhhhhhhhhh

 

probably took me like 50+ attempts over the week. I got to 311 light on Wed, and that really helped boost me over.

 

*proceeds to fail math test in 5 hours that I should have studied for*

Xur is selling the Supercell :)

Literally one coin away from being able to afford it.

You've got all day Saturday as well!!!

 

I got one the release day of TTK, and like 4 more after that. and I've always felt bad because none of my friends could ever get it to drop.... Now we can all SUPERCELLL!!!

 

So ALG how are you liking the game so far?

Unrelated: Trials of Osiris now gives gear based on participation, not wins! Yesss!!!

So ALG how are you liking the game so far?

It's enjoyable (I'm an immensely casual player, Supercell was my first non-promotional exotic), but it also feels like you can see some small hints at what they wanted Destiny to be, and that game would have been so much more compelling :v

 

Also I don't have PSPlus yet so that cuts out a lot of stuff.

Wow - I just googled PSPlus. Yeah, that cuts out about... oh... 85% of the game.

(The raids are so fun!!)

 

Some big patch should be dropping sometime this week or so. Will allow us (those who have hordes of Wormspore) to trade it in with Eris, as well as purchase weapon parts from the Gunsmith.

 

Also please Iron Banner, come back already. It's been a month. :(

So finally had time to try the Kings Fall raid, I ran it in a fireteam that consisted of 4 first timers and 2 experienced raiders. Despite that it probably took about 6 hours to complete over the course of two days, I thought it was actually pretty easy, we just happen to make some stupid mistakes as a team along the way that dragged out some of the sections, and players having to drop out.
