Vex eludes me. Annoys me, because I'm not really a fan of VoG.

Took me over 20 runs to drop it, but have now got it 3 times. Just keep plugging away at the Atheon CP, there are usually people on Sunday/Monday night looking to run it on Teamfinder.

It massively depends on your team, but using Super Good Advice/Corrective Measure as your heavy and use them to break detainment shileds/take out Oracles, Vison of Confluence or a good hand cannon as your primary and either Icebreaker or Black Hammer as your sniper for damage on Atheon makes it pretty straight-forward. Praedyth's revenge is also not a bad sniper for it.

If it's any consolation, I've barely used Vex since I dropped it and you don't often see people using it now either in PvP or PvE.

i am also disappointed in lack of 6 man fire teams but like you will wait and see how good it is.

As for Borderlands I have played the games on the PS3 and Xbox360 and really enjoyed them and also ran the co-op in both to completion on split screen. Not as polished as Destiny but makes up for it in humor.
If there is a chance of people being into the co-op then I will pick it up, not sure I am going to gel with Hardline.

Obviously, I am disappointed that there won't be a raid initially but, more than that I am disappointed that end game content is restricted to a 3 man fireteam. However, I'll be reserving any judgement until it has actually landed and I've seen/played it all first hand.

The raid will come later in the year and will hopefully be included in what we have already paid for.

I wasn't going to bother with the NF this week but, logged in this morning to see my shiny new vaultspace and lovechild needed me to hold his hand so, I carried him through ran a couple of NFs with him. Got some soon to be sharded scout rifle and a 3rd Gjallahorn for my trouble so, not a complete waste of time for once!

I'm thinking of picking up the Borderlands collection in the meantime, any of you lot got it? I'm particularly interested in the co-op side of the game which is useless if nobody else is playing...

I know what you mean. Battlefield is good fun, don't get me wrong but, it isn't really geared towards the 'casual' gamer and whilst I'm certain I will dip in and out of it when others are online, I just can't see myself investing as much time as would be required to be competitive (or even half decent!)

Just ordered Borderlines and I'm pretty sure Anton was going to get it too smile

Borderlands has the potential to be a far better game than Destiny, the previous games were excellent, and I'm excited to see what Borderlands 3 will bring, and particularly how it will borrow from Destiny.

Well that's me convinced, ordered should be here tomorrow.

Actually thinking about how much fun it was on the previous Gen I am really looking forward to playing it. Some of the one liners were "Friday night too many beers raid worthy".

What?!?! Blasphemy!!! Heathen!!

I'd be quite happy to do a Fatebringer and Vex/exotic run tonight if anyone fancies it. We could use Youngsy's VoG CP and do as many runs as time allows.

Don't think I can be on tonight. I tried to get on last night, but 6gb update killed it for the evening. May have to wait for the weekend to do some runs.

VoG is, for my money, a better experience than CE. That said, I've had my usual luck they're with drops; no Vex, Fatebringer or vision of Confluence despite multiple attempts! What'd even more galling is that I've seen them drop numerous times, but always to the same few people who already have them and just don't need repeats. I've also yet to see a single Gjallarhorn drop for anyone, let alone myself!

This is the week though, I can feel it...

I've had vision of confluence, I unwittingly sharded it.

Well, the bad news is that I've used up my final Templar CP, but the good news is that I've finally dropped Fatebringer! biggrin

Now just Gjallarhorn to go and I can finally stop whinging about weapon drops. paperbag

Not quite on the level of FB or Gjallarhorn, but finally got Over soul Edict to drop on another solo run on HM Abyss. It's ridiculous, I know, but I won't deny I did punch the air in delight.

Just in time for arc burn nightfall as well...

Anyone fancy being a saint and carrying my lowly level 27 titan through the abyss part? Only part of my armour letting me down is the legs, nice popular drop on the abyss?

Youngsy/Sims, nice one! Elemental primaries help loads on NF/weeklies. Don't use explosive rounds on FB unless facing enemies without critical spots.

What's your psn Clarkey? Always happy to help people through. Try and get a team together and do a full run, much more fun.

Cheers lovechild, it felt good finally setting it pop on the screen!

Clarkey, I'm sure I speak for most of the PH clan when I say I'd always be willing to help anyone with the abyss, on normal mode it's a cakewalk to solo with the appropriate gear.

Post your PSN, you'll be inundated with friendly types happy to help!

My PSN is III_Clarkey_III, I'd be happy for a full run if I got the legs, otherwise could be a bit of a drag me through as opposed to carry! Will be on later on biggrin

Nice one mate, I'm glad that it finally dropped for you smile I used it in the NF today with Lovechild and Speckle (cheers, pretty darn sure I wouldn't have made it solo even at the heady heights of lvl 32 bowtie) and it was a revelation doing a NF with a primary having the correct elemental burn, a first for me. Worth levelling up to get the field scout perk as it burns through ammo in full auto mode.
