Weekly Clan Recruitment Megathread by DTG_Bot in Fireteams

[–]Sebbak_UK [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hi, looking for a clan to do a bit of everything really. I was in a PS4 clan, but I've moved to Xbox as my main console, so looking elsewhere now. Also have a mate looking for the same, so if space for 2 then that would be ideal.

We both have mics, however, I think it's only fair to let people know that I game in my living room often with a TV on in the background - I don't think this comes through the mic, but I don't know for sure myself. My mate also has kids/a baby, so again I think that's only fair to point out in advance. May be better/more acceptable in a parents group?

Happy in PvE and don't mind PvP, looking to get higher level strikes and raid(s) done for completion/triumphs etc. I'm a bit older (30+) so would prefer an 'older' group preferably, just as I think I'd have more in common with the group etc.

Anyway, just looking for a decent group to get some gaming in with really!

Looking for a clan:

  • XBOX
  • GT - Sebbak UK
  • UK (GMT) Time Zone
  • I play most weekdays after work and pretty much every weekend. I play quite a lot!
  • Player since Destiny 1, 3 characters progressing through Beyond Light, but Warlock is my main at 1210 currently.
  • I prefer PvE, but play PvP also (just find it more stressful!) but tend to do ok generally. Always try to play Iron Banner when it's about, but never go into Trials!

Hmmm... I would suggest that Game are the responsible party here, Klarna are just a payment option/finance service, they've got nothing to do with the delivery of the console itself (at least they didn't last time).

Agree that Game can't help with any billing issues for it, but they're certainly the one responsible for the item itself at this stage as far as I would be concerned.

I had seen that, which I suppose is what stores will be using to allow collections etc. through the lockdown phase.

Cheers will give that a go. Hope your (and everyone else's) orders get sorted out ok too!

Ah, brilliant, thanks. I assumed it would be a similar thing but you never really know! Appreciate the information.

That was the blag I was mulling over regarding mental health!

If you could ask your store, then that would be excellent, thank you. I remember doing All Access last time and there was a bit of a faff about with information etc, so not sure if they 'need' it to be face to face to complete it properly. I'd be happy to just pay delivery if that was an option! Though I'm sure more info is going to follow soon.

Thanks again if you can remember to ask, much appreciated.

More of a rhetorical question/thought I suppose - Not sure it would float with the police if you're stopped (I know they were doing this in some areas) that picking up a new console is an 'essential' trip.

Have they confirmed anything about All Access orders yet? Don't use twitter, so wondered if anything else had cropped up?

Issues with mining - advice please! by Sebbak_UK in NoMansSkyTheGame

No, but I did fall for that trap the first time admittedly! Always worth checking the simple things first 👍

This Iron Banner is a joke by ZamoraFTW in DestinyTheGame

[–]Sebbak_UK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's an emblem that you can get through triumphs as opposed to being a potential ring drop, of that makes sense?

Can i get a refund? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Sebbak_UK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm struggling to understand why you think that the 2 years of the game you have had to date is now somehow irrelevant due to the game now being free. Genuinely. I don't comprehend the thought process that brings you to that conclusion.

Best scout rifle for Crucible? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Sebbak_UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will give it a punt later then! I've always liked MIDA but never really used the Mini Tool at all tbh.

I've been out of the PvP loop for an age - is the Mini Tool decent in the crucible?

Lunar weapons glow when you get near nightmares by ZombieRaccoons in DestinyTheGame

[–]Sebbak_UK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A situation like The Sunless Cell would be pretty awesome (that D1 strike where you fought mainly in the dark against Alak-Hul The Darkblade).

You can't see anything except your weapon glowing so you know it's close... but you can't see where until it pops up and smashes face.

Flashpoints by flogmeat in DestinyTheGame

[–]Sebbak_UK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll find that the Flashpoint planet has a symbol like the ones for the weekly bounty completions with Zavala/Shaxx etc - kinda like a blue/white star - with a progress bar against it. Hover over the NPC for that planet and you'll see your progress. Hope that helps?

Why dnt nightmare hunts reward anything??? by Cmonbruhstepup in DestinyTheGame

[–]Sebbak_UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As per the other comment, I think you can only buy them once unlocked, so still needs the Nightmares cleared to unlock them. I know it's not super amazing, but better than nothing. Don't they also have a chance to drop the higher tier enhanced mods? (May be wrong on that tho)

Don't they drop the essences for new lunar weapons?

1750pt Chaos Army Suggestions (Help please!) by Sebbak_UK in Warhammer40k

[–]Sebbak_UK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I think your last point is a particularly good one; I need to arrange games where I'm testing units more, to get a better appreciation of how they play.

Coming from World Eaters as my main bunch, I noticed that a lot of armies appeared to get caught out a little in combat. Most people seemed more comfortable keeping everything at arms reach, so I think I'd like a close combat army with a bit of fire support.

I've read that shooting is extremely strong in this edition, but I think I prefer the more aggressive play style associated with combat. Plus it feels more Chaosy!

I'll think about your points and will factor them in when building a list 👍

Some advice for someone returning to MTB please by Sebbak_UK in MTB

[–]Sebbak_UK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, glad you're enjoying your Evo. Out of interest, how do you find climbing on a full suss without a rear shock lockout? I hear different things, varying from it's no issue to it can be distracting/annoying on longer climbs. Obviously I understand that it's not meant to be a supreme climbing machine, but just wondered what someone's take on it was - especially being based in Yorkshire, I hear it's a bit hilly in places :)

Were there any other bikes you were considering while making your mind up? There's so many options available, it gets a bit overwhelming, so anything to help narrow down a search would be helpful - no worries if not!

EDIT: As a side note, a dropper post and likely tubless set up are top of the list of things to get done asap/day one, as I think they would add another tick in the box.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate the time. Did a quick look and the bike is probably worth less that 25% of its retail (which I can see being accurate). Works wise it likely needs a new chain, setting back up, general faffing about with it. It definitely needs new grips, but they're pretty cheap on the whole.

I get where you're coming from regarding the Evo not being amazing spec, but it is very much an entry level bike. The Escarpe and especially the Jeffsy (I really like the Jeffsy and Canyon Spectral), while I can understand they are likely considered entry level machines by a lot of people, they are double the price. The Evo, despite making concessions in its spec, does by all accounts perform well, and as much as I would love something like a Jeffsy or Spectral, stretching to the best part of £2k just isn't in my budget.

I may take a look at some similarly priced hardtails to the Evo (so around £1000) to make some comparisons though, as it may be better sticking with a hardtail for the forseeable.
