Here's to the new us.
I've been watching Myelin more and more for my lore fix lately. Covers a wider range of topics than Byf and doesn't spend the first 10 minutes of every video talking about other stuff.

is there any sort of a "what 'should' i be doing" thing as far as content in this game goes? i was satisfied enough with the base game to buy into forsaken but now i've got a million things showing up as of the last story mission and i have no idea what's even relevant (if anything).

Hi new friend!!!!!!!

You should definitely give the game a chance now. It’s finally good and only getting better. You can check the past two pages here and see some of the praise from folks. We weren’t doing this months ago.

As for class, they’re all viable. Ciaphas just started playing and he is a Titan. He is a good man.

My friend moonman just started playing and loves Warlock. He is a terrible human being good man.

Do you is what I’m saying. Have fun with it, join a clan and discord and let’s help you have an even better time than you’ll have.

The classes have no real role specifically, just different tools to achieve what you want. Warlock with its pool and new super falls more into that support role but can spec into doing ridico dps also. What do you think looks cooler, space marinez, tech-mage, or skipping hobo?

Man. Glad to hear it. Yes yes, I know. (Don’t believe his lies) but this time, you do!

The game rocks and we do have a number of Aussies playing and rejoining now. So you should be in good company.

If you're new or have any interest in Destiny's lore or even just real good science-fantasy writing, you should absolutely go and read the Books of Sorrow. They are pretty self-contained and just hecking good. Also goon-written.

Both Destinypedia and Ishtar Collective have them in full.

Seconding this, the Books of Sorrow are excellent and are one of the main reasons I think TTK was one of the best expansions a game has ever received.

:ducksiren: It’s a late two days but it still remains. We are at 2 days remaining until THE GREATEST EXPANSION EVER RELEASED IN THE HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES :ducksiren:

Now who wants to be a real true guardian and wear THESE for Tuesday?

Pictured Above: Trust me, you can fit into these and you can win raids and pvp matches in these. Your KD will improve. This is free advice you don’t need to eBay me for.

And then, to also prepare, here’s a guide for what you should do before Forsaken. An example: spend all your glimmer on mods and dismantle those purple mods. It’s time.

https://www.gamesradar.com/destiny-...-big-expansion/

Tomorrow rocks because then we are only one day away. I already have my tissues ready and moat dug for all the tears.

Let’s all do some farewell raids tomorrow to prepare for Foreskin.

You’d have to fight moist for the keys to the console thread. Just a fair warning, one of the decathlons for the throne involves a lot of squats and shots in Vegas.
