I feel like I'm using dial-up again.

Carrier pigeon here, 1/3 done then slowwwww

 

[Steroyd]

Holy fuck, it took 6 minutes to download 400MB now it says the rest will take 3 hours.

 

[gdt]

I'll be up for 3 normal raids and 2 (maybe 3 if I can level my Warlock fast enough) hard raids this week. tomorrow and Wednesday I can only normal raid in the morning, while the weekend it's pretty whenever.

 

[HBP]

Will the patch auto install on Xbox One if you have the digital version? I sure hope so, have gotten into Destiny a lot the past couple days, went from level 13 to 18 or 19. Before I was just doing story missions but now that I am getting into the bounties I am having a blast.

 

[Shito]

Hmmm, PSN maintenance up until midnight where I live, plus this 2.4Go patch mean I probably won't be able to play tonight.
In that case, I wonder if I prefer the patch notes to be worth all this, or if I'd rather have useless things in it so I'm not frustrated having to wait tomorrow to try them... ^^

 

[Noisepurge]

Probably because a ton of people are downloading it at the same time.

Stay in touch here...soon enough you'll be a raid bro.

 

[plantedunicorn]

Patch downloaded and installed. First thing I noticed 10 bounty slots and they've changed the way spin metal looks in your inventory; its now blue lol. There's also been some cosmetic changes in the way your inventory looks. It's more grittier, I don't even know how to describe it. It just looks different.

Ugh of course.

I'm a sliver of XP away from hitting 20 on my Hunter and I have a vault full of armor waiting for it. I thought I'd be able to knock that out with a crucible match but now I'll have to sit and watch this thing download instead.

 

[LiK]

Everyone downloading at the same time is killing PSN lol

PSN maintenance in less than 15 min hahahha

 

[DiscreteCat]

Great

Normal/flawless raid run tomorrow at 5.30 GMT

Edit: Ocean didn't you say you will go with the hard mode group tomorrow at this time?

Sorry I think I got confused about timing. I thought this was for today. I won't be able to make tomorrow I'm afraid.

Tricks Up Sleeves

Next week, we’ll also let slip something we’ve been keeping a secret.

Did you acquire a Destiny collector’s edition that included an Expansion Pass? Did you acquire an Expansion Pass separately since then? If you have, we’ve got a special surprise for you. If you have not, but think you might still help yourself to The Dark Below, you’ll also be invited to enjoy.


The details are still secured in a crate. Early next week, the information we’re guarding will fly through the air with the greatest of ease. When it lands, we want there to be no doubt that this is for you, and that you’ll have a chance to enjoy it first.

We want to make sure that you traverse the next leg of your journey in outrageous style.

Something about a sparrow?

Damn, so this is probably the beefy update!

I hope it lets me farm material nodes while being on the sparrow.

There's also been some cosmetic changes in the way your inventory looks. It's more grittier, I don't even know how to describe it. It just looks different.

But the Vex, did they restore the mythoclast?

Edit: just read the patch notes. My heart remains totally broken

 

[bobbyrawlins]

I'm on Xbone and there's no update?

 

[Strider]

pause the download for 10 seconds and resume.
it helps, but only for a couple "minutes".

I've been doing that already as it's helped in the past... Not working so far But yea hopefully others pick up on this tip. It does usually work for me and it could possibly help some others here if they haven't been doing that already

 

[Deku Tree]

So no new materials exchange? That is really the main thing I care about/want now.

 

[plantedunicorn]

Hallelujah.

Please screencap the dream, I need to see this beauty with my eyes.

Sorry on PS3 so I don't have the pic sharing function. The most obvious thing right now is cosmetic changes. The patrol icons look a little different. The grenade and melee icon are now more blue.

 

[gutterboy44]

Patch notes are up!! Edit, beaten. .

 

[ocean]

Hmmm... I think you're scheduled for a hard raid within a half hour of that.

If I understood correctly this flawless attempt is at 630 am while the Hard run will be at 7pm tomorrow (Central European Time). Did I misunderstand one or the other?

 

[matmanx1]

Thorn Bounty completed!!

I completely fixed my problem with that bounty by acquiring a fast charging void fusion rifle (as opposed to the slow one I was using before) and buying The Swarm (void MG) from the Vanguard quartermaster.

Yesterday I went from about 280/500 to full completion in 10 matches or so which isn't a torrid pace but is a completely acceptable amount of time in my opinion.

Then last night my regular fireteam took Xyor down and that was as much a pain in the butt as I remembered from the first time we did it. Still, we prevailed and Thorn is mine.

Now, do I level TLW first or Thorn? It's a good problem to have.

 

[blackflag]

I'm up for doing 3 hard raids. 3x3x3 with however many of the usual suspects we can round up.

I'm definitely down for that.

 

[firehawk12]

No economy changes. Bloop.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

So after reading the patch notes I see Bad Juju is still a piece of crap.

 

[LiK]

OMG, selling new shaders! Thunderdevil better be one of them!

Also, Raid still broken.

 

[scarletham]

Shores of Time:
Added a Vex pillar to prevent players from sniping through the small gap on the ninja platform

Anyone know what this is referring to? Can't think of where the ninja platform is...

 

[Crimson_Gold]

So after reading the patch notes I see Bad Juju is still a piece of crap.

It's working as intended...

 

[excowboy]

Download won't actually start for me on 360. Just get the little 'buffering' spinner but no download progress starts.

EDIT: it was actually downloading without the progress bar. Thought I'd edit in case anyone else is having the same issue.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

So, nothing about raid glitches or materials economy? Awesome job.

 

[Jinjo]

So still no raid bug fixes and exotic weapon buffs? Fuck you Bungie.

Seems they fixed the below the platform on Aksor. So no more easy cheesing on winter's run.

 

[Feorax]

That's incredible. Almost 2.5gb worth of download to fix basically nothing anyone gave a shit about.

 

[darkwing]

[scarletham]

That's incredible. Almost 2.5gb worth of download to fix basically nothing anyone gave a shit about.

I mean, 10 bounty spots is actually pretty nice...

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

-- Public Events will occur 10-15% more frequently in all public spaces

I'm guessing this will mess up the public event finder site for a little while.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Can we skip the damn cutscenes at least?

 

[Toejam2501]

They patched "under the platform" in Winter's Run? I am assuming that is the exploit in question.

 

[Rubenov]

Seems they fixed the below the platform on Aksor. So no more easy cheesing on winter's run.

Aye. Good thing we just got done with that Nightfall.

 

[HBP]

That's incredible. Almost 2.5gb worth of download to fix basically nothing anyone gave a shit about.

Probably a good chance part of this is prettying for the expansion.

Sorry for not being specific, but I meant 5.30 pm GMT. I just couldn't think anyone being awake at 5.30 am haha so I didn't mention it

So it seems we're back to two again...

Again it seems a whole lotta nothing from bungie. Two decent things are more bounty spots and fixing blind watch...

 

[j_rocca42]

Poor raid...

 

[firehawk12]

Has to be. Oh well, there's still the starting area cheese I guess.
