Are you suggesting that the view from my moral high horse is a touch lonely?
Rest assured, you're not alone. I won't be buying another DLC or Game from Bungie until they've shown that they will release a product that is value for the money from Day 1, rather than having to wait over a year and buy several expansions before the game lives up to the marketing.

You only have to look at the number of people playing Trials each weekend to see that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of D1 players feel the same way.

Times have changed Pappers....if only you hadn't defected.

We all now look to LC for Guardian fashion advice, he is quite the trendsetter these days.
(There is a chance that the above statement is entirely untrue)

As for s99ne doing jumping puzzles, let's not get carried away hehe

SO what would you have spent if you had purchased al the DLC by now?

If the game was say 40 quid new? Are you over 60? 80?

Without doing the maths I'd bet around £100-120.

There's an idea floating around the gaming community that £120 is the price that AAA publishers actually want to charge for games but they know that people will buy less if the headline rrp is much over £50.

That's why the game you get for £50 these days is seen as a starting point and you have to buy special editions/season passes/dlc content to get a full game. It was probably most brazen in the new Battlefronts but you can see it in pretty much every big game over the last couple of years.

How long does the first raid take now as we would be possibly all be over 500? Is it doable in an evening? I am away all weekend but could be free most weeknights and next Sunday.

Hi, Id say you all need to be 530+ for the first boss room. I think you will need to be up around 550 for the final encounters to make it bearable. Also finding 6 fire team members who can actually communicate and do some prep work before diving in.

BTW loving Forsaken expansion. Feels like the game I wanted from the beginning. Has the D1 grind vibe with expansive content and rewarding milestones. Now up to 544 so will be looking to push on in the raid. I have only cleared the first Boss which wasn't too bad.

I am on most nights if anybody wants to team up. PSN young_bairn

Specktacular's jumping prowess almost impinged on my take away curry the other night. I did the honourable thing and abandoned him post-haste.

Speaking of shaders (I know you're all interested), I think I've got a really rare one. The NF specific shotgun from last week can drop fully masterworked with what I assume is an exclusive shader. This shader only became available upon dismantling the shotgun, so must be pretty rare. Unless, of course, it's available elsewhere, in which case disregard what I've just said...........not that you're still actually reading.

Leviathon? We had it down to about 45mins, but expect a couple of hours at least.............or complete failurehehe One or the other.

You should have seen me & Singh on our second attempt at the whisper mission last night, it was pretty special! hehe
(Yes, we got it done - 3rd attempt)

Happy to run Leviathon with you when I'm off work first week of October. Hopefully we can easily one phase the dogs with our higher light level, I hate that part - it is where I always got stuck.

Lovechild will also join us.....he doesn't know it yet but, he will. There is probably some silly shader available there that he doesn't have in his collection yet hehe

Can it be done with 3 people or do we need 6? I have 3 friends I could probably drag on 1 evening but not in the clan

The more the merrier - I'm sure we can cobble 6 people together. Full disclosure - I've only completed it once, haven't even stepped through the door in probably 7 months and have completely forgotten all the mechanics......other than that we'll be fine biggrin

Since you asked.......

My dreams are shattered. I got a weapon from Zavala earlier, and lo and behold it's got the same shader. My previously thought of exclusive shader can be obtained by any old Oik with a ghost and a handful of tokens.

I will endeavour to keep you abreast of any shader related news as it comes in.

I'd be up for a go at the older raid at some point, I've never done any raids but I'm not quite levelled enough for the new one yet.

That is at least 4 of us now. We just need to find a time we are all available.

Please do. I also got a shader from dismantling a shotgun this morning so, erm, yeah - are we shader bros now? hehe

I also have not done any raids and would like to try. Let me know when and I will see if I can join.
