I'm coming to the realisation that online coop gaming requires more commitment than I can give it.
Your making it sound like you are about to buy a puppy. it's just a game and if you can get on then no worrys

Well I tried to get on a few times around 5-6Pm last night and all I got was Destiny servers are offline at present. So went on Middle earth instead. I had no issues with not having a net connection.

Anyone else get this. It had to update 20 meg before it would show the start page but said no servers. So I gather they were offline for a update or something?

how have you guys been progressing with Crota's End? Anyone finished it yet?

Not been on much over the weekend but might pop on a bit tonight and will make time for nightfall and weekly tomorrow.
We run the first parts with our alts last night. We've got a good system now and it's fairly straight forward IMO. Manic as hell but really good fun.

I got invited into a team to take down Crota last night, but after a couple of wipes people started to leave. No idea why but it is bloody tough.

I used the checkpoint to show the lads from here the mechanics and what happens. We had a couple of goes but it wasn't a serious attempt. A team full of 31's would make a big difference too.

Still, quite happy to keep running the first half of the raid for the loot. Got a hunter chest piece, and titan gloves and boots so far.
Was that what I was helping with, because if it was it was good fun

One thing I need to find out. I am having issues with the mic. I don't use it for other games but both my OE mic and the kinetic will not allow me to talk to others on the game. I have done the tests with the mic outside of the game and seems to work 100%. turning on and off the tv and the test

Anyone else had issues with the mic in the game? I'm not sure how to test it via the game. It used to work and just wondering if anything I have done in the game to screw it up

No mate that was the new strike we did.

Does your mic work for other games? What about party chat as that has nothing to do with the in game chat. If that doesn't work then I can only assume that it's the head set that's knackered.
I have no idea about other games. Will have to try party chat tonight and see if it's working. I can't get The kiniect to work either in game not just the OE mic. Which is strange

Might be worth checking your privacy settings in the first instance, perhaps it's that

Will have a look and thanks for the heads up

Well enjoying the game now I'm back on. I gather the updates have helped me shoot from level 22 to almost 26 in a week. And it's not like I'm playing every evening.

A bit pissed I cannot find out why mu kinect or OE mic that you connect to the controller will not work

I've checked it hears me in party chat. But when I come to play the game nothing. I have checked settings and the only thing I have not done is checked it with other games yet.

I could hear Tank through my surround sound but he could not hear me. when I used my mic it then went. and nothing.

Apart from that loving the game and getting into the new strikes etc...

I have now got a legendary fusion rifle which is good and much better than what I had before. But I still pic up lots of uncommon or rare guns and not much more.

I'm still trying to imagine Destiny without Tank....

  • reels*
I think we may have a chance of getting some kills this week!
It's not the kills, it's the Bungie dev he's sucking off will have to share out Tank's loot to the rest of the players, so our chances of dropping something good just tripled!

also, GTAV heists may just get me back to the game to try them out, shame I only have it on the 360 frown

Have you tried manually setting the ports on your router? or hard resetting the XBOX after rebooting your modem and router? we had some party/fireteam chat issues last week, we all spent 10 minutes rebooting and resetting and came back working fine smile


Edited by Antimus on Wednesday 17th December 09:20
I hard reset the Xbox again last night. 10 seconds on the power button. But not done my Router. Would that make a difference? I'll give it all a go tonight and see

Have you updated the firmware on your controllers at all?? Also do you have one of those chat adapters? If so you also have to make sure that's plugged in to each controller when you update the controller firmware or they don't recognise the adapter properly.

http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/accessories...
No I have not updated my controllers since I bought the Xbox.

Another good heads up. Seems console gaming is not as easy as it used to be

This worked a thread.

I've hard reset the xbox and router

then updated the controllers BUT both controllers would not up date with the headset so I think this is the issue. The OE headset so looking for a new one someone said you can get a turtle beach that connects to the controllers so going to try that

And once I did the above the Kinetic is now allowing me to talk on the game so had fun with glen and his mate last night for a hour or 2

I was also looking at the stats on my destiny app and seems I've not done a raid? How to i find a raid?
I can get into the vault of glass but found out I need 5 others and is this worth trying yet. I'm almost on level 26

RemaL - make sure you have everyone on your friends list and keep an eye on who pops up when. There are a few people who don't post too much in this thread but play the game quite a bit. (F1Gav, Dalzo, Tom? etc).

There were raids running nearly every night at one point, but I think people have been re-grouping to get to level 31 (plus pushed for time).

Hopefully we can keep organised and get some more going.
I'll make sure I add everyone on the list on here.

Any tips to leavel up. I've been doing strikes and bounties a lot but still seem to be just below level 26 Just.

I've been busy with work and family stuff. Hoping to add more of you over the next few days when not working to try a raid.
