Should be, yes.
WAIT, WHAT?
And what about other quests for toher subclasses?
I have finished Gunslinger, Sunsinger and Defender. So no emblems for any of them? :/
FTS.

I won't be playing next week since I'm too busy with Phantom Pain to remotely care about buying Taken King. So this will be the last thing I accomplish before taking an extended break from the game

I've been playing 3 hours with TLW yesterday and couldn't hit shit. Sure, up close (like really in-your-face close) it still wrecks.
There's mixed "reports" that the Hawkmoon is still good. But I've never used it. Seems that Bungie might have nerfed handcannons a bit too much.
Thanks for that huge post, Hawkian!
I will probably test the omolon weapons tonight, and I recognize myself in your "not so good, not so bad" description and way of thinking.
Really hope the raid is on VoG's level of awesomeness, because the loot will not be a motivating factor in this. ^^

Wow, this is ugly as fuck.

this is a community thread. the gaming thread is for the 2.0 update specifically (although it's since been rechristened as the TTK OT which isn't official until next week).
Oh I'm relieved. Last I read was them saying the exact opposite:
https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/152554085/0/0
This being a Faction-specific Quest (for the Vanguard) and saying rewards wouldn't be given retroactively was a major disappointment.
Where did they rectify this insane oversight?
Definitely not, that's an exaggeration. Hawkmoon, Thorn and TLW got hit hard though.
With any HC- any weapon of any class for the moment, it seems like- you have to play to its strengths, and specifically its ideal threat range. Hawkmoon and Thorn used to compete waaaaay outside of their intention for HC range.
At launch Auto Rifles were competitive at sniper rifle range. Before 2.0, Hawkmoon and Thorn were competitive at sniper rifle range, and Auto Rifles weren't competitive at all.
Now, neither Auto Rifles nor Hand Cannons including Hawkmoon and Thorn are competitive at sniper rifle range and both are competitive at mid-to-close range.
Much as having my absolute favorite gun nerfed stings, I am of the opinion that this simply makes for better PvP overall.
Great , what about the rep , before I left I had everything bar one faction per guardian edged , do I need to pledge allegiance to that faction or we are currently not receiving any reputation for completing a nf ?
I can tell you this- if you knew and used Hawkmoon before the nerf and try to compete with it in the exact same way, it isn't good.
I'm really curious how you guys that never knew its initial forms feel about it though. PM me when you get one, lol.
We're going to be posting in the TTK OT next week right?

Why are there only four PvE bounties?
It is weird like that if you pick them up while you're in game at the time reset happens. You can do those then log out and back in to get a full reset.
I think it'll be a place to hop on and clear misconceptions among haters, newbies, people unsure whether to come back / buy in. A chance for us, who know the game in detail, to share with GAF at large.
But I think this community side will be where we continue our regular interactions and discussions about more detailed, specific things which would fly over the heads of newcomers or future entrants to the game.

So... I should jump back in once Taken King gets released, right? All the changes I've read about seem great.
Not at the moment, outside of deleting a character. Bnet and Reddit are slowly getting the outrage machine going. I really hope they're loud enough to get this fixed.

if people are going to be loud about something it should be TLW nerf.
on that note, i changed my mind about deleting my characters. well not really. maybe. i dunno.
my warlock for sure. definitely. that way my warlock will be at the bottom of the character selection menu (where warlocks belong).

Look on the last page, deoee was looking for one.
You can pledge allegiance if you want, but you don't have to. You'll get rep only for vanguard otherwise. Pledging gives rep both for vanguard/crucible and the selected faction.
Yeah we are too busy fending off all the dangerous animals while cooking on the BBQ
Dangerous animals? Nothing more dangerous than a drunk bogan
NP, found some guys on reddit!
Have a nice meal :3
Lord of Wolves MELTS enemies this week
What are you using on your special slot? I used the NLB/Omnolon FR yesterday and i did a really awesome match in Pantheon, nearly 4.0 KD. Have the feeling (might be totally off) that the hitbox for NLB is bigger then before 2.0.
Do note, though, that you don't get 100% of the rep towards your faction at the moment.
Did a NF yesterday and it gave me 250 rep towards New Monarchy.
That's probably where the class items boosting one's faction reputation come into play.

The Jewel of Osiris feels great.
I couldn't really get into it, but I spent the least time with it of all of them. The perk is friggin' sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet as hell though.
Also, gonna call out Vestian Dynasty one more time. Hot dynamite damn. Of all the stuff I'd heard, I had the expectation that it would be really good and was still blown away.

So true, used to live up the road from a pub. You could hear them stumbling up the hill at like 3 in the morning.
Not only were the perks bad ass the aesthetics are glorious. The pulse rifle sings. All hail Hakke.
Using Shadow of Veils, I absolutely hate the new Omnolon FR I just didn't get it.
Ammo was an issue with it
The hitbox feels weird like it looks like I hit when it's a miss.
There is just something VERY weird with that gun and I'm not quite sure why as a massive fan of snipers I hate it so much.
Maybe because it's a common weapon in TTK and we have to remember the GOD AWFUL common guns in 1.0
NLB has had a slight hitbox buff but I think the main contributor to it seeming bigger is the view is no longer obscured by the additional rings ect.
I absolutely was nailing people with it yesterday, I love NLB since I learned how to do the reload cancel and now it's just an absolute slayer in the right hands.
Why it's not 2.0 makes me very sad.
I always wonder WHY Bungie felt the urge to nerf certain Exotics to shit though. I mean .. Thorn could be countered just by removing that insane high tick damage and drop the range. TLW had a bugged perk that would let you hit 120+ damage shots. Yet, range wasn't an issue here. It was a great weapon for up close. Hell, playing Trials of Osiris and going up against a team of Thorns while using TLW gave me a real pleasure wasting opponents.
Now that I'm reading into these TLW/Hawkmoon/Thorn things I ... I don't really know what to think. Most of the players report that Bungie really crapped on handcannons and I wonder why. There were 2 of the HC's that ruined the "fun". Why not just edit those two and leave the rest as is?

the necrochasm is still reeeeally bad.
wrong wrong wrong.
I like the titan helmet.
Titan stuff always looks cool. He was clearly referring to the ugly classes.

In my opinion TLW really did have too much damn range and that needed to change.
What was the actual buff to the weapon though? I don't remember but I'm certain that they said they were slightly buffing it.
