Fist Report 24: TOR, D3, and your Destiny (poll results)

This report features updates to TOR Operations CF Rewards and an Exemption System for certain Raiders. A shout out for Diablo 3's latest patch. Results from the Destiny Poll and information on the Clan, with upcoming competition. As well as all the usual competition information goodness.

TOR Operations CF Rewards Update and Exemptions!!

Last report I covered the updates to the Flashpoint CF rewards in TOR. This time we've got an update for the Operations CF rewards.

As I mentioned last time. There were some revisions added due to the increase of the Level Cap to 55 and others added due to the availability of better gear which is a natural cycle in any MMO. Here's the rundown:

8 Person Operations:
  • Eternity Vault, Karagga's Palace, and Explosive Conflict: Normal 8 CF, Hard 10 CF, Nightmare 12 CF
  • Terror From Beyond and Scum and Villainy: Normal 16 CF, Hard 20 CF, Nightmare 24 CF
  • Dread Fortress and Dread Palace: Normal 20 CF, Hard 25 CF, Nightmare 30 CF
16 Person Operations:
  • Eternity Vault, Karagga's Palace, and Explosive Conflict: Normal 10 CF, Hard 12.5 CF, Nightmare 15 CF
  • Terror From Beyond and Scum and Villainy: Normal 20 CF, Hard 25 CF, Nightmare 30 CF
  • Dread Fortress and Dread Palace: Normal 25 CF, Hard 31.25 CF, Nightmare 37.5 CF

The Gaming Submission tables have been updated. The wiki will be updated updated shortly.

What's an Exemption?

So you know when you've got 8 people ready to run an Operation, and you're missing a tank? One guy has a tank, but he's not in the DJB Guild and before he or she just missed out on CFs because they had to switch characters? Now with in game Officer approval we're going to be awarding CFs to members who are needed to switch characters to allow the raid to continue. We'll be watching this closely to make sure it isn't getting abused.

The wiki will be updated with this policy shortly.

Next time for TOR: Member Rank System updates/changes

Furios, the TOR Officers and I are still ironing out the finer points, but we should have this ready to roll mid September.

Diablo 3 Patch 2.1 went live last week

This was a pretty significant change to the game. It introduced Seasons (think Diablo 2 Ladders), Legendary Gems, Greater Rifts (used to level up Legendary Gems), a Hellfire Amulet to craft, among other things. The DJB has been actively crushing demons in game nightly (on the Americas Server), if you have any interest in Diablo 3 hop online and request to join our Clan "Dark Brotherhood". Its a great time to come back to this game or try it out again.

There may be future Diablo 3 competitions tied to Seasons or specific Seasons achievements. There won't be any this particular round, I'll make sure the details are up before the next Season begins. Just saying...

Destiny Launches in 8 days! Poll Results! DJB Clan! Competition! Videos!

A while back we ran a Poll to see what kind of interest the Brotherhood had in the FPS Destiny, coming out on September 9th. I've included a summary of the information below. In addition to what's listed we've also got 3 folks who are looking forward to the release of Destiny on PC next year.

  • 7 members intend to purchase Destiny on Xbox One, 6 of them plan on joining the DJB Destiny Clan
  • 6 members intend to purchase Destiny on PS4, all plan on joining the DJB Destiny Clan
  • 1 (maybe 2) members intend to purchase Destiny on Xbox 360 and plan on joining the Clan
  • 1 member intends to purchase Destiny on PS3 and plans on joining the Clan

Some of you may have seen my post about of DJB Destiny Clan before, its live on the servers and available for people to join. I'm pleased to say that we have had 21 folks join the actual DJB Destiny Clan.

I'll be starting a competition in the next few days to race to Level 20 in Destiny once it launches. Membership in the DJB Clan isn't required, but is greatly encouraged. Rewards will be a Crescent of some form that is yet to be determined.

I wanted to upload some videos from the Destiny Beta, but its taking forever to move them from my PS4 to computer. I'll include them in the News Post when the Race to 20 Competition goes live.

Gaming Competition Results

Last months Mobile Competitions for StackO and StackO - Bonus are currently being judged. Results in mid-month report.

August Gorefest

Crescents haven't been awarded yet, because once I press the finish key I can't see the number of CFs everyone receives as bonus. I'll be awarding bonus CFs this week, for now here's the placement:

  • 1st Place - DJK Orion Aries Rial of House Tarentum
  • 2nd Place - JK Turel Sorenn of House Odan-Urr
  • 3rd Place - OPM Kell Palpatine Dante of House Scholae Palatinae
  • 4th Place - JK Edgar Drachen of House Odan-Urr
  • 5th Place - PAD Shorurra of House Odan-Urr

Pendants of Blood

  • 10Aug2014 - 16Aug2014: DJK Orion Aries Rial of House Tarentum, PVP Score of 88.76 (349 Matches Played, 176 Matches Won)
  • 17Aug2014 - 23Aug2014: DJK Orion Aries Rial of House Tarentum, PVP Score of 125.04 (346 Matches Played, 208 Matches Won)
  • 24Aug2014 - 30Aug2014: DJK Orion Aries Rial of House Tarentum, PVP Score of 66.85 (191 Matches Played, 113 Matches Won)

exciting things happening, I like it...I like it a lot.

Probably a terrible place to ask this, however! Have we looked into Warframe at all as a supported game?

I've been playing the hell out of it since I got the PS4 version, it's available on Steam and PS4 (Free To Play), Multi-User Vs AI, Level Progression, Contains PVP... Pretty much the wet dream of our gaming environment in the DB

Wow, I didn't expect the Destiny poll to be so close. The Console War rages on it seems.

Also, the TOR Raid policy is a welcome change. I've seen many members sacrifice club rewards to facilitate others. Thanks for listening to all the feedback from the TOR gamers. We heart you Val!

HOU GAMING HYPE!!

:P

Great report! I've played a little bit of Warframe and it was kinda fun

Grr!! Stupid pazaak! -.-

Haha nice to know I've got another Diamond Crescent

Rial's got beast mode going on :)

Awesome report!

I'm not the Fist, but I would think a game needs a decent level of support before becoming officially supported. It probably also needs the ability to bring DJB members together (since gaming should be helping build our community).

Start a little grassroots campaign and get members playing together and it will make selling a new game to the Fist a lot easier.

jawa

Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg 8 Days.

Race to 20? You. Are. On.

#COMEATMEBROS

Peh... Destiny, you seem to be forgetting that The Sims 4 is out in two days! :P

I fully expect to be dead to the world for a few days when Destiny releases next week. No sleep till 20.

Strangely I'm not interested in Destiny, look forward to seeing how it turns out though.

Just requested to joined the destiny clan, handle "Kazmari"
