What's the giant ass update for?
I could look it up myself, but lazy.

I'm a fan, but really it's just to complete the Thorn bounty. I usually don't play a ton of PvP, and stick to FR for my quick burn on void shields in VoG.

To be fair, I was in that run and was steering everyone away from the glitches as much as possible. It took many frustrating runs to figure out details about so many glitches and how to counteract them. It doesn't seem bad when all the kinks were already worked out. Hard mode can have some really glitchy detain shields but otherwise isn't more broken than normal. Flawless has the most unique glitches.
New exotics look pretty cool visually, but a lot of them have REALLY shitty abilities.

Also added you bro, feel free to join the fireteam.
Basically nerfing but not really nerfing everything, minor visual tweaks, and some small but much needed fixes but that still needed to wait until after fixing [insert complaint here], things are broken other things fixed. lots of people upset/confused due to rumors and miscommunication.

It's just as bad. I think you notice more on hard cause you are playing it for a longer time. More attempts at atheon means more chance for glitches to appear. And it's only when you're trying flawless that you really notice all the messed up things about the raid. For example the audio cutting out during confluxes. I never cared much but when you're trying to not die it's really irritating when you don't know something is shooting at you until your shield breaks.
Edit** also for me it seems like the audio glitch during confluxes is worse on normal than hard
after using one last night I have no idea why I was wasting my time with other guns.
It's also exposing some crazy lag issues. I shoot people and they fall dead a full second or two later after running around for a bit. Maybe this is why people kept surviving 4-5 handcannon headshots.
Yeah Doc here was a real help, game even only teleported him as he was the most familiar with what to do in that situation. but in say normal if you encounter a praetorian that damage doesn't calculate correctly you have a much better chance of surviving.

Yeah it's been like that since I can remember
It seems only The Glasshouse helmet out of all the new Titan exotics will be of any use to my Titan. I'll collect and upgrade them all, but Helm of Inmost Light, Saint-14 and The Glasshouse will be the ones I use on a regular basis.

Boy I love almost being done with one of the longer strikes and having the boss a sliver from dying only to lose connection to the game world. No easier way to piss me off.
Dragon's breath >>> gjallahorn
You feel the effects of it more on hard. Especially with Praetorians. survivability is higher on normal than hard so you can work around it better on normal. glitches are the same across the difficulties minus atheon detainments, but doing normal it usually doesn't mean a wipe, you can work around them. That's what i'm meaning by glitches are worse on hard.

No a disaster, 5 more bounty slots for the same old bounties and I don't play PvP. Another update that is useless for PvE exclusive players, along with a bunch of unintentional nerfs. No raid fixes, etc.
Yeah, it'll depend on how much longer Weapons of Light lasts. Inverse Shadow is such a good perk that I'd rather use it and get my super back again with Helm of Saint 14 if it doesn't last much longer.
The new exotics I like just from their description:
The Glasshouse:
Blessing and Weapon of Light lasts longer. Very useful for raids. A must really.
Starfire Protocol:
If you already have the two grenade perks on your Sunsinger, this adds a third grenade. Second if you don't have the perk.
Unremarkable Bones:
Adds a third jump to double jump. Would go well with the boosted double jump. And it gives Bladedancers triple jumps!

Hopefully I have more luck to score Dragon Breath than I do Gjallarhorn
Necrochasm sounds godly.
Mowing down a row of dreg or thralls at head height near a captain will nuke it. I love the sound of this weapon. Must have.

Is this today's patch, or are you talking about the expansion? PEACE.
I have to agree with this as well, what is the use of extra bounty slots when I only get 5 a day that I want to do and I can usually get them all done in one day? Hopefully it's preparation for a big update coming to bounties.

Oooh. There's some Trials of Osiris specific gear in that list.
For me it will all come down to balancing Int, Discp and on certain build Str.
However, that Obsidian Mind looks like something I really really want for my Warlock. Nova Bomb kills reduce Nova Bomb cooldown? Sold!
Holy crap, two scorch charges. Sunsinger melee builds... Starfire Protocol! Warlock wins again.

Warlock Helmet "Obsidian mind". Nova Bomb kills reduce the time of your next nova Bomb. Does this mean spamming nova bombs in PVP?

Inferno PVP sounds like a hardcore mode.

True, but the lag/glitches involved are the same for normal vs. hard. Only the damage/health scaling is different which makes it potentially more dangerous but still the same issue as normal. That's why it's always smart to "over help" on the Praetorians to offset potential problems. Flawless is unique because the anti-cheese hotfix patch requires a wipe to load correctly, then the glitches normalize to their usual level.
Oh god, those MK4s... Get away from me!

Is the Winter's Run exploit mentioned in the update notes referring to hiding under the stairs or that ledge right at the entrance to that part of the map. The former I can understand, but that ledge? I can get killed just fine from there (especially if Arc burn is on and I get sniped) so I hardly think that's an exploit.
