Sony rubbing off on them too much.
Live In Your World, Play (How we want you to) In Ours...
Eh? What did they do to it?
What sticker
? Typically that's the rule I follow, but the majority of people say that it's very good in PVP, so I'm trying so very hard to stick with it till the last perk, before I put it in the vault and never look at it again.
Really hoping Perfect balance/Last Word makes this gun 100 times better.

Reduced the damage on the DoT, I think.

In the category of "Why?": The new icon for the Sunbreaker gauntlets looks like a 5-year old drew it. And I guess you need to cut off at least one of your fingers on each hand to wear it.
The fuck man. The Sunbreakers icon looked so awesome too.

All the nerfs seem to be happening around PVP. I don't see why they would nerf PVE weapons...but who knows what Bungie is even thinking anymore.

Let everyone have everything!! Why does only you having it make you enjoy the game more?
Rarity is a fallacy.

The thing is, I wasn't getting run over in PvP by anyone with Thorn. Seriously baffled why it got a nerf, but the auto-rifle-on-rails Suros didn't.
Can say with some confidence that the public event schedule has changed, rather than just the frequency Waited for the Walker in Divide at X:10-15, went to the Mothyards at X:30, and back to the Divide for the X:40-45 event. None of them spawned and they have always been pretty reliable. I wonder if it is just random now. I'm not necessarily against that, but they better be common as that was one of the only reliable sources of Ascendants.
Would you mind sending me a clip of you using it, very interested to see actual gameplay of it being used effectively?

Lol, so Thorn became even more useless than it already is? It already sucked balls in PvE and now they're nerfing it even more because it was atleast somewhat good in PvP?
Mixing PvP and PvE weapon stats is the dumbest thing ever. It sounded awesome at first, but it just does not work.
Plus, I thought Thorn was one of the weapons at the top of the buff list?

Yeah I seriously question the guys play testing this stuff or how they're collecting information. Is there even a section on Bnet were we could request/upvote for certain fixes or additions for Destiny?
Guerilla did this for Killzone and it worked great that way.

For pve, how does ice breaker perform? Any noticeable changes? Bungie better not mess around with ice breaker
Yeah, for PVP since everything is scaled really only the charge rate matters when looking at fusion rifles. I posted earlier about how I was able to finish the PVP portion of the Thorn bounty by swapping to a low level but fast charge rate fusion rifle in place of the fully upgraded one I was using previously.
Glad I spent all that time getting 3 of them in the hopes of a buff. Lol. Bungie.
Don't play with my heart. I still need RAS-2 ghost and the one on Mars. Plus a few glitched cards (locations, motes of light, siege dancers?, and the fallen house of wolves maybe.

It is so odd that the majority of balance "fixes" are PvP focused. I wonder if they are getting worried about player activity in PvP or have worrying analytics there because PvE has been all but abandoned. PvP certainly needs some tweaks, but PvE is an essential part of the game that is getting serious neglect and player angst.
I'm done fuck the last word I cannot stand it, every single game I played with it I went utterly negative. TDYK I was going 2:1 to 3:1, I've tried scoping in, I've tried firing from the hip, no matter what I do I can't hit anyone with it...
You need to level it to the stability and the unique upgrade first.
This is how many exotics work, not every one is good at stock values.
Level it up. It's a completely different fun when you do.

Great patch. The + symbols no longer appearing on retrieved vaulted gear is my favourite part. :3
This is funny timing they released the patch. I didn't think they were ever going to bring out Iron Banner due to poor communication on their part.
So last night I uninstalled Destiny. I like the game a lot but there are a lot of things I don't like but won't get into.
However, if Iron Banner is really available soon and I can hit L30 then coo. Not promising if the game will remain installed however.
I was really frustrated with the hard raid. Have yet to beat Atheon legit. I feel this is not right because I play hard and level up all my guns to max (including Ballarhorn). Ultimately, I will still probably not hang on much longer due to the raid lockouts. I have much more fun in Normal but I feel forced into their ridiculous hard mode.
Looking forward to playing new games very soon and reducing my Destiny playtime a bit. But if Iron Banner 2.0 is out then I'd be interested in trying that. Then probably take a step back and reaccess the state of the game

Nope
okay, really gott get back to work, lol
i'm still doing well with it, though two headshots will definitely no longer kill, it kind of feels like the accuracy or damage were buffed? very strange all around.
edit: E92, yes, I sort of feel like this is the tradeoff because of how OP it might have been with whatever buff was promise :/ Not ideal but I can see how it could have been crazy. still, I wonder if it was an accident applying it with this patch or what

A middleground here is matchmaking for 3 person fireteams for the Raid. You have to put together your own group of 3, that way you know some people and they know you, then you get matched with another group.
Matchmaking should always, be optional though for the high level content.
I'll be honest, if it wasn't for DestinyLFG.net I doubt I'd get to raid very much. This thread is already on OT10, and a lot of that is matchmaking posts. It'd be a factor of 10 higher if you had to do all matchmaking and couldn't rely on LFG sites.
Letting the community run shit would be almost as bad as letting Bungie run it.
Where's this ledge you speak of?

They're really forcing us to go underground. The Guardians rebelling the Architects would be some awesome lore.
wow, this is really a thing

RAS-2 Ghost and the TV/Subway ghosts have had reported sightings since the update.
Personally, I've never been able to get the one in the dark room of skywatch.
The cards for Motes of Light as well as the planet cards seem to be activating as well on first login.
Hell, I might not even have to try to 2500 at this point, I might be closer to 2600.
Also, House of Wolves is datamined and probably wont be popping up for anyone until dlc2.

I'm going to assume they're separate teams and so significant updates for PvE and PvP are not going to automatically line up
that would be better to blind matchmaking but a grouping board is still just the best solution, it allows for whatever criteria are needed at the will of the group starter.
I used mine for the Thorn bounty too. Might have been your post that inspired me to try it, regardless the only void weapon I had was that fusion rifle. And I finished that bounty *fast*. Well, the PVP part...PVE part I needed some help.
All that and I find out it might be nerfed before I ever got to use it. Christ.
It's the new Chatterwhite. People will eventually move on.

Oh god, I'm so happy about this. Those plus signs drove my OCD crazy.

OH MY GOD! BROADSWORD!! I've been waiting for it to drop for over a month. I can't believe it. Is this real? Is this real life? Finally, after so long.
I just don't know what to say. I needed it before Friday and here it is. I am done, I am finally free. Can't wait to get home and buy it.
Fuck you, Cryptarch. What you won't give, glimmer will buy for me instead.
Thanks for the other legendaries and exotics, though.
Bungie: appreciate the gesture, but it's too little, too late.
What level were you when attempting the hard raid? There's a marked difference from 29 to 30. With Xur selling helmets every week, you can do normal until you get three pieces + the Xur exotic helmet, and you can be 30 before setting foot into a hard raid. That's the way I first did it. Get a couple more 30s and 1-2 more 29s and you should't have any issues beating it.

New ABC control points on Blind Watch.
They've also changed spawn points and heavy ammo spawn points.

My favorite part of the patch notes:
I say this as I have to keep reinitializing my patch, as it keeps timing out every 30 seconds. But hey, I keep climbing about 200 megs each time.

Hard Raiders assemble!
I am looking to put a group together to run the Hard Mode Raid on Wednesday November 19th at 7:00pm EST.
Level 29 Hunter and Level 29 Warlock (will be using one of those with maxed out 300 Vision of Confluence, IceBreaker, Corrective Measures, Atheon's Epilogue and more). Would like a mix of half 29s and half 30s.
