Hello everybody

Long time fan, but first time forum goer.
So some time ago I picked up Destiny for my PS4 (Loving the game!) after having seen Graham have so much fun with it, on Twich.
I have just reached the level (32) where I think a guild would be really handy, and I remember there was talk about making a LRR Destiny guild.
Was it ever made? Is it still up and running?
If the answer to both those two questions are yes, I would love to join as I've allways found the LRR community super friendly and welcoming.

Cheers

Hey TheycallmeJokee

The LRR Destiny Clan (just look for Loading Ready Run) is still alive and going strong, especially on PS4 (I'm not as sure on the XBOX Side). The clan is pretty full right now, but there's also a feeder clan that Afoersch runs called LRR Sparrow Squad.

To play regularly with us join either one of those, and then add a bunch of us on PSN with a comment that you are a fellow LRR fan. There's usually a LRR chat PSN Party going, and you can drop in at any time and find people for stuff like Prison, Raids, PvP and story missions!

If you need help, add me on PSN (fenrisravynn)

See you in the tower!

Thanks Ravynn

Your answer and all the answers I got in the LRR Twich chat was very helpful, and totally confirmed my faith in the LRR community.

Looking forward to LRRing up my Destiny game

To follow Ravynn's example my PSN is Theycallmejokke.

afoersch here, PSN = afoersch

simple, no?

Thanks afoersch, looking forward to meeting you in Destiny.

Hey, Checking in here to see if the destiny Clan(s) are still active on ps4.

Just hit level 24 tonight, and was feeling like the game was a bit lonely, so I thought I'd check back over here to see if anyone is still playing.

My PSN ID is Nickpruss

I'm also about to head out to work, so I'll check back in once i'm done with that.

Thanks in advance,

DoktorNik

Hey DoktorNik

Yes, the LRR clans are very much still active, though I think the main clan is currently full at the moment, however the LLR sparrowsquard should still have room for you.

I joined up only a little time ago, and I have only meet nice helpsome people.
My PSN is Theycallmejokke.

So after seeing some twitch replays on youtube, finally decided to go ahead and upgrade to the PS4, looking at the various bundles, I decided to go with the Destiny one coming up, which includes the expansions.

So of course I'll go through the main campaign before trying to join the sparrows (if there's still spots). An earlier question however, could be which class should I pick? I'm debating between Titan and Warlock at the moment. Anyone got preferences, or know what's currently 'overused'?

Hallo Mr.Tie

I don't think you have to wait for your guardian to level up, for you to join up, but on to your question. I personally play a Titan as I find it to be the most forgiving of the classes, I've only shortly tried out the two other classes so hopefully others in the community can talk to you about them.

So is LRRStiny still a thing? I finally caved and bought the Taken King PS4, and I'd love to get into the game before Witcher/Fallout 4 suck all of my free time.

It is indeed still a thing bv310!

Hello LRR Friends
long time watcher first time poster

I just picked up Destiny this last week and was wondering if I could join up with the one destiny LRR group/clan/guild(s)

PSN name Da_Magic_Banana

thanks
looking forward to being space gun wizards with everyone

Just bought The Taken King for me and my girlfriend. How big's the guild and what kind of things do you do? I'm window shopping right now.

The clan is is pretty big... IIRC a clan can have 100 PSN members and 100 XBL members, and the PSN side of the main clan is full (which is why we have a second clan, the SparrowSquad). You can still join the group, but only so many people can set it as their clan, for some reason. But a lot of those people are inactive, or don't play much, so it's not as huge as it sounds. And anyway, it turns out actually being in the clan doesn't achieve all that much... there's a clan forum on bungie.net but it's basically unused. All it really gets you is the words "LoadingReadyRun" under your name ingame.

What's much more useful is the PSN Party chat. Most any time, there'll be one running, and as long as you're PSN friends with one of the people in the chat, you'll be able to see it. Then you can drop in, say hi, hang out. Depending on the time of day there'll usually be as many as around a dozen people on during the peak times, down to maybe 1 or 2 while everyone in the US is asleep.

Mostly it's just a collection of runners hanging around and chatting about whatever while we do our separate things, but if you need a hand with a tricky mission, or want someone to join you grinding strikes or running PvP or whatever, then there's a reasonable chance someone will be up for it. Getting a raid together is a little trickier, depending on the time, since that requires more people involved, but timezones willing, you can hopefully work something out.

Best way to get started is to shoot a friend request to a bunch of people who often hang out in the party. Some good names to start with: LordVulpes (aka foxmar320), TemjinZero, DeusParnel, ladymav20, Fenrisravynn, afoersch, AcidityLip (me)... that should be enough to get you started. Then, once you can see the party, drop in, and send a friend request to everyone there. Eventually you'll get to the point where you're friends with most of the regulars, and you'll usually be able to see the party whenever it's there. Remember to mention in the friend request that you're a Runner, so we know who you are...

Thanks, Phlip. That was more detailed than I expected. So far me and my girlfriend are going to be playing around Friday for the first time and depending on how we find it, we might be looking for something a bit higher end to do a raid or two.

I played Destiny when it first came out. I did not enjoy it. The combat was fun but the repetition was destroying me. But The Taken King has had such great reviews and even an original game overhaul that I figured I'd try it again.

But at least I know if I take it further what I'd need to do to get into a clan and who to sign up with.

So EBGames decided to screw me around a bit before actually sending my PS4, but now it's at least updating and moving. Should be starting the game tomorrow. Any advice for a total newbie?

There's not much that's too complicated in the early game you need to worry about... there's no skill trees you have to worry about (you have different perks to choose from, but you can change your choices at any time), no complicated gear choices to make (just using whatever you have with the highest numbers will do you fine all the way up to the level cap). It's pretty much impossible to screw yourself with bad decisions.

Pretty much the only important decision is which class to play, and even then the differences between the three classes isn't that major, all three play roughly the same, just have some different abilities... it's not like an RPG where a tank class and a dps class and a support class have wildly different roles and playstyles... regardless of your class in Destiny, your gameplay is still going to involve mainly shooting things and trying not to get shot. And even that decision isn't a complete lockout, as there's only 3 classes, and your account can have 3 characters... so a lot of players eventually end up with one of each anyway.

Just make a character with whatever sounds fun to you, and play through the story missions. Follow the quest chains, experience the story, get XP and loot, make all the numbers go up. When you get to the level cap, the game becomes more a game of finding gear with good stats that matches your playstyle, rather than just levelling up and getting better numbers... but by that point you'll probably have a feel for what the different options are and how you want to play the game.

Okay, so I ended up restarting once my Warlock got to level 18, purely so I could have a cool cape and Nathan Fillion as my Vanguard. My Hunter's up at 16 atm, and I'm hoping to start doing House of Wolves this weekend. Anyone else in the same range and want to start running a few strikes with me?

Well I got into destiny. Level 40 Titan now.

is the main LRR clan still full, should I join Sparrows?

not sure if it's full or not, but you can still join the group, the 'clan' itself doesn't matter that much, like phlip explained. You can join sparrow to if you want, it's pretty much PS4 only though

Did something happen to Sparrow Squad? Trying to join but I see a lot of clans with that name (or similar names) but none seem LRR related.

seems up to me, here's the link https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Detail/920093


and for good measure, the 'main' LRR group https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Detail/309608


main difference is that sparrow if PS4 only, LRR have a mix of consoles

I have also jumped back into the Destiny thing. My name should be Rednightmare7 on PS4. Add me if you want, but do mention you are from the LRR forums, otherwise I won't accept (gotten too many random requests before).

EDIT: I seem to be mistaken, My PSN name seems to be Red Nightmare. It also shows Rednightmare7, but I expect that is my Twitch account.

So i started last night. I think i can do the referral code thing? If so just send me a code

Welp, I've been Sparrow Racing for like 4 hours and have actually upgraded my helmet significantly. Thanks Bungie!
