Can anyone confirm which exploit zone was patched out in Winter's run?

Was it under the under platform area, on the rock, or up the cliffs?

Under platform area. But someone still found a way under it.

Under the platform, confirmed. Not sure about the others, as the platform was the only one that I used.

 

[EmmaWatsonButt]

The game has been out for over two months. This should not surprise you anymore.

It was a bit surprising, since it never happened to me before. Never read around these parts about people getting stuff from nightfall that wasn't their class type

 

[gdt]

You should have a package from the postmaster waiting when you log in. Also, the special orders vendor will sell them for 50 glimmer to your alts.

Today?

Underneath the platform. The cheese spoiled, so Bungie put an invisible wall over it to protect us from the smell.

 

[xplicitone]

Can't wait to check out IB and new sparrow tonight! haha

 

[MrChowderClams]

Need the IB gloves to get my titan to 30... Also need the boots to get my warlock to 30... Do u guys think getting to level 3/4 on two characters is doable in a week?

It's the platform. Boguester posted a video sometime earlier showing that you can still get under the platform but it looks much harder and you have to jump behind the whole platform and quickly go under it because a kill timer starts.

EDIT: beaten. Yeah this video:

Of course. Just play a lot.

 

[toastyToast]

It's very accurate from the hip at anything between close to mid. You just need to manage the recoil, it has really sticky auto aim but the recoil makes it difficult to manage in the heat of the moment.

It has the least recoil of any of the hcs I have but I dunno. Something feels off about its aim or sights, can't say what exactly. Close range it's a monster though.

I ended up doing today's IB bounties which were super easy. By the time I turned those in I was about 3/4 towards level 3 starting from 2. I reckon in another couple days I should hit 4 and get my gloves.

Playing as a 29, the amount of damage I'm doing to 30s is barely a scratch under what it normally is. Even with dudes a couple levels below me I get a bonus 1 to 2 damage per hit. It's not a big deal. I'd like to see what I'd do to someone under 25 but I didn't run across any on the opposing teams.

Someone on reddit did the math:

1. 2 wins needed to get to Rank 1. (1st class item gives 1.1 x 50 (55 Exp))
2. 22 more wins to get to Rank 2. (2nd class item gives 1.1 x 1.1 x 50 (60 Exp))
3. 40 more wins to get to Rank 3.
4. 40 more wins to get to Rank 4. (3rd class item gives 1.1 x 1.1 x 1.1 x 50 (66 Exp))
5. 36 more wins to get to Rank 5.

Thanks guys. Still can be solo'd but much more dangerous now. Nightfall will be tricky.

 

[EL CUCO]

I personally never used that spot. I always thought it was a higher risk since there is little space to move around. Hanging around the entrance has always worked for me.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Has anyone done any research on what gametype yields the most likely chance to get Hawkmoon? Tiger strikes, crucible, nightfalls, etc.?

I'm so tired of seeing people with it in crucible to the point that if someone kills me and I see they're using it I make it my mission to go after only them in a jealous rage. The sad part is that I usually manhandle them with my Fixer. Those people aren't worthy to wield that beast of a HC.

5. 36 more wins to get to Rank 5.

So to get to Rank 5 from my Rank 3, I need 76 wins?? -_-

Same here. Entrance area was much easier for me.

Ugh, good to know. But also keep in mind those probably don't include bounties and now losses give points too when you get a win afterwards right?

I've run 615 strikes and no Hawkmoon

 

[figadapaura]

:lol

 

[Strider]

Bungie needs to have it like R* where we can transfer between consoles. That would be so great. I'd actually buy a PS4 right now to play with you guys. It'd be nice to have access to friends on both consoles under 1 account. I definitely don't want to restart my character though.

Yea that'd be dope. I'd probably buy the XB1 copy to play with friends over there. Plus I could show off my Monte Carlo and Hawkmoon lol

 

[Jinjo]

So to get to Rank 5 from my Rank 3, I need 76 wins?? -_-

That's excluding bounties and tempered buff, but yeah. Bungie is not gonna allow you to get to level 5 without giving up your job, what do you think lol. And here I was hoping Bungie would, you know, take people who don't have 12 hours a day to game into consideration.

 

[Darknyss09]

Yup, I agree with this.

I got mine from a Nightfall, some of my buds have one from the Crucible, some even from the Cryptarc decoding a legendary engram...there´s no "most likely chance" just RNG, pure luck.

Doesn't seem too bad if you play with Gaffers. but that's a lot of games lol

 

[DesertFox]

No (needs confirmation though) and yes - 10% for the emblem, 10% for the shader for a total multiplier of 1.2.

Awesome, thanks

 

[MisterAnderson]

Doesn't seem too bad if you play with Gaffers. but that's a lot of games lol

I wasn't considering the bounties as well, which accounts for at least half of the reputation (estimated). So cut the wins in half and I think it would be more realistic, assuming I do all of the bounties every day (which I will).

 

[PuMa]

Dude. That's a lot of strikes.

 

[Dr_LawyerCop]

Yeah, the losses give rep so it doesn't seem as hard. I should play on one of my 28s, but I think I really just want the weapons so I'll go with my lvl 30 Hunter.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Wow. At the end of nightfall and all of us got kicked from the server. Fucking game.

 

[NastyBook]

Anybody up for the Nightfall? Fully maxed my Purifier VII, so I want to see how easily a Captain goes down now.

Yeah I won't be wasting my time. I just need boots for my level 29 warlock and hunter. Would rather just test my luck doing the raid weekly until the dark below launches.

I'll take my level 30 Titan with maxed weapons into IB just for the fun of it.

Skirmish? Dang

huh. Thanks a lot for your post

 

[maomaoIYP]

I might be just imagining things, but grenades seem obscenely powerful in IB. I'm a level 28, my axion bolt is wrecking shit.

Damn I wish you could too!

Not taking the Tempered buff into account though. For most people who don't have time to play every day, using that toward the end of the week to squeeze as much in as possible will be crucial.

I most likely won't be playing any Destiny tonight, maybe very late, but for the rest of the week I'm gonna be looking for people to group up for Iron Banner quite a bit

Skirmish? Dang

Yeah no. I recognize nightfall rewards when I see them

lol.. one of our friends got the hawkmoon from the raid chest and again from atheon

i was jelly

This is interesting but with Nightfall and Bounties I'm guessing a realistic figure is maybe half these games.

 

[LiK]

The only reason I'm playing IB is to rank up and get the second shader. Don't mind getting the gear for variety but not my top priority at lvl 30 already.

I thought nightfall didn't apply to IB. It didn't last time

Yikes. I'm hoping the 12 hour buff gets significantly more potent by the end. And there's bounties too. My plan is to fill my whole inventory with completed bounties and turn them all in with the tempered buff, then play like a madman all Sunday.

 

[Hawkian]

So the Nightfall buff does affect IB rep?

 

[LiK]

Yeah no. I recognize nightfall rewards when I see them

Oh, my mistake.

 

[realcZk]

So the Nightfall buff does affect IB rep?

It should, it increases all reputation gains and I imagine IB should fall under that.

 

[Meneses]

Can I preorder the DLC now and still get that new sparrow?

I need to know this too, since my eventual purchase of the Expansion Pass will depend on the answer lol

 

[Greenymac]

:lol

Im not liking you right now...from the two nightfalls this morning I get a legendary sniper (epitaph) and a second Ice breaker... Like I said it would give me shit I already had. I guess the second ice breaker is cool even though I dont really care for the ice breaker.

 

[Jinjo]

It should, it increases all reputation gains and I imagine IB should fall under that.

*except IB.

It didn't increase it the last time and I'm pretty sure it doesn't do that now too.

 

[Hawkian]

It should, it increases all reputation gains and I imagine IB should fall under that.

It definitely affects Crucible. Maybe I'll try and squeeze that in tonight before bed so the rest of the week can be all gains all the time.
