All yours mate

Optimistic 3rd dibs on that

I'm ridiculously low on funds so looking for quick sale, any buyer who can either meet me near my office in clerkenwell (st johns st by the waitrose), lmnh or somewhere along my cs7 commute tomorrow or weds is ideally what i'm after.

@tonylast if you can meet based on the above you can have first refusal otherwise will see if @kl or @alialias are able to.

I'd need posting so will duck out, I'm sure someone local will snap it up

Yep, can sort that - have PM'd with more detail.

I can also do that if Tony has any problems.

Got my Destiny 2 download code for PC today. It unlocks at 6pm bit it's like 60gb to download first.

In case you haven't seen, hold onto 5 blue scout rifles for a quest

I've kinda avoided all talk of the game so far. I guess I should look up some 'tips before you play' thing.

The only really confusing/odd thing is the PL+mod system. For whatever reason there are Rare and Legendary classes of mods, and a legendary mod will add +5 to the items PL. So it's worth keeping an eye out for them once you hit level 20 and start getting legendaries.

It's a pretty easy path to 265PL, after that you are basically waiting on weekly reset activities to boost you up to 305PL which is the current max.

Also, in case you have played the first one, your max PL is calculated whenever anything drops, so there is no need to wear your most powerful gear from that PoV

So your max PL is counted from the highest mod you've seen/unlocked rather than what you've got equipped?

I have 1 x wife and 1 x child to accommodate m8

From the highest armour and weapons yes (just for fun, the +5 from legendary mods doesn't factor into this calculation!)

This is good news

when you reach endgame hang on to all of the highest light level stuff you get from milestones/powerful gear engrams and only turn in milestones once you've got to your highest possible PL without them (so you get the best possible level from them) they're literally the only way to increase your light level past some of the sticking points and you can only get 3-4 of them each week.

also at endgame you'll get blue badge missions on each world, save the EDZ ones until you are pretty much at the 300 cap. they trigger an exotic quest and you'll want to get it at as high a level as poss as it gives two decent weapons which are based on your current level when you get them.

likewise don't waste all your tokens at lower levels. save them until you hit the soft-caps at 265

powerlevelling tip: public events give the most xp for least amount of time, learn how to trigger the heroic version of each one.

if you see a public event due to start you can keep fastravelling to the nearest point until you hit a server with people nearby which helps a ton in doing them quickly

once you finish a public event if there's a fast travel point nearby collect your crate and fast travel to it immediately a couple of times and you may find another one still in progress, you just need to land a bullet on an enemy to join before it finishes to get the reward, they appear at the same time across servers but the timers only begin when the event is activated, not impossible to run the same public event 2 or 3 times in quick succession for xp and the drops.

All good points, thanks.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands - I'm trying to revisit it to get every single weapon/accessory/medal/skill point/legend/kingslayer file and location. Fuck me it's a grind. Absolutely no highlights to share. I've done probably 80% so far. I'm also trying to grind through the Tier System. The HTI Desert is a beast of a weapon - one shots any vehicle pretty much when you upgrade the damage. Currently at about Tier 30 from memory but plenty of grinding before I get to Tier 5 and the only other unlockable weapon that isn't behind a paywall.

csb etc

WTF... I need another day of working from home, I'm nowhere near that far through and have been playing for a while. Haven't got any decent weapons, dont really know what I'm doing. We MUST team up soon, with comms.

I would counter with; do not rush any leveling at all. There is precious little endgame so saving things is counterproductive. Take your time, try not to fast travel. Use your tokens when you get hold of them (they won't actually help you past 265 anyway), just do things when you feel like them. Don't save the blue badge missions too long - if you really need them you can always do them on a second character.

Pre-ordered New Wolfenstein last night, looking forward to the weekend.

Also noticed Assassin's Creed is out on Friday as well. Have read suggestions that this might be a return to form, but given the launch issues of the last couple (which I skipped entirely, despite London's infamous London) I'll give it a couple of weeks for the dust (sand?) to settle.

The New Wolfenstein will be great, I can feel it in my bones.

Apparently the new Ass's Creed is done by the team that did Black Flag, which was the best one in recent times even if every single mission was 'follow this person'.

This Friday is all about Mario Odyssey.

I'll pick up Wolfenstein next month when my Xbox One X turns up.

London was well rendered, obviously they needed to shorten distances between stuff but there were moments when I got a chill being on a street that is still so similar in modern times it felt eerie. Such as at the back of the Royal Exchange building.

Old Wolfensteins are £4 a pop on PSN at the moment (New Order / old blood)
I keep meaning to pick them up, seems like an ideal opportunity
