Yeah, I was like wtf? They better not think 5 was the norm haha.
Deej did say the patch notes are being written up, so maybe it's imminent...but who the fuck knows anymore.

"We've stomached enough math this week."
...we have? The player base has really only dealt with "7-4=3". Kind of a bummer to act like not giving us details was somehow a favor to us.

Wow. That update was worthless. And hey DeeJ, just cause you don't like math doesn't mean the diehard people that actually care about these weekly updates feel the same...

More info would have been nice but there's some good stuff coming I guess.
Exotic patch will be before the Dark Below expansion it seems, so I guess December 8th at the latest?
He also says the marks we've earned will have new buyers with I guess fresh weapons for sale?

Seriously, between the broken promises and the straight to our face lying, Deej writing style comes across as smug and condescending.
Everytime he pens one of his pieces, my opinion of Bungie lowers.

I interpreted that is exchanging marks for materials. His comment like "what your arsenal has been craving".
My arsenal has no shortage of guns, just a shortage of planetary items to upgrade them.

God I hope this is the case. I've had 200 marks for 2 weeks now. I would've definitely invested in some matts. I need some Relic Iron right now!

Yeah, this is insane.
It only took them one week to nerf the Mythoclast into the ground but they'll wait weeks to fix it just in time to be made obsolete by expansion gear.
I'm honestly enjoying Destiny, but I'm gonna pass on Destiny 2. Bungie flat out does not know how to manage this type of game.

Does a fully upgraded hawkmoon have 2 extra power bullets or 3?
Yes, it's very upsetting because I am enjoying the game so much, but Bungie keeps make it harder and harder to do. I just hope they are going to surprise with an early update.

Fun raid gdt and the others I was with. Wasn't too painful and it's nice teaching some people along the way.

Well, maybe the Mythoclast will be the best weapon for the new raid and whatever weapon comes from the hard mode boss will be best for the next expansion. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

Ehhh...sort of? Being capped at level 7 gives you an okay idea of how the game flows. Really gets more interesting once you are 20+ and are doing endgame progression/content (IMO). Your character is just more fun to play further into the game.
Leveling up is fun though, no downside to trying it out.

The update today was my first time posting on the Bungie Destiny site. Seriously, after messing up Thorn on Tuesday and promising some major information on Exotics today, all we got was a "hold on to your exotics, we have more information in the future." That is pretty much the exact same story told to Bad Juju and Thorn holders almost two months ago with not a single shred of information since outside of a "whoops, we didnt meant to mess it up with patch 1.0.3 but have faith it will be better." What a major let down...
Hey at least Mythoclast got acknowledged before the nerf and then after the nerf. Not to mention that whole fiasco was relatively recent. It has been since 9/25/2014 that Bad Juju and Thorn were promised a buff and nothing. The most Thorn has been discussed has been when it accidentally got nerfed on Tuesday with promise of more information on Exotics today. I cant stress how anticlimactic the update today was. But hey, please be excited for a future update where we say we will cover exoctics in a future update. Also, did you all buy the expansion pass or preorder the new expansion and get that sick ride, because shiny things are a distraction.

We're quickly reaching a point where having no form of public communication but patch notes is better PR than what they're currently doing.
I feel you. Was really excited to see some numbers and changes, but here we are disappointed for another week. Deej isn't a bad guy, but it's either Bungie is not giving him info or he likes trolling us. I am going with the former.
Bitmap Frogs
Mr. Community
This week's:
a) We have a bonus for purchasing the new expansion. Please buy the new expansion.
b) *Post the IB damage curve*
c) Thorn nerf is not intentional.
d) Exotics will be patched before the Dark Below launches.
e) We made strikes easier for teams, harder for solo players. We'd like to fix that at some point in the future.
Ta-da! Bungie's weekly updated condensed into the actual meat. Everything else is just Deej pretending to be a bad writer.
...they should give me the data to write these updates and let DeeJ write grimoire entries and quips for the Crucible announcer. getting the thorn nerf wrong is embarrassing, that's just a simple fact check!
Translations:
Translations:
I mean 7.
The Thorn buff previously mentioned will be applied to its pre-patch state, and we should all be afraid of that.
The Exotic-balance patch will hit sometime between now and Dec. 9th, an 18-day period. An exact date is difficult to provide because the certification and delivery process for patching across all four consoles and separate network infrastructures is complex and time-consuming.
These are very likely the Exotics that will be touched in the patch. Pocket Infinity is the outlier; I'm not sure what direction they aim to go with that at all. MIDA Multi-Tool users may be disappointed. Monte Carlo may or may not be touched; as it is a PS4 exclusive it may just have not been shown.
Some form of mark-to-material conversion will be added in the same patch.
This doesn't need much translation of course, but: all Strikes are now slightly easier with regard to damage you take; both damage you take and damage you deal are now independent of the number of people in a group which disproportionate affects solo play.
Independent scaling to accomodate solo play may be added
I don't think this is necessary and probably won't have a dramatic impact when implemented, whatever it is.
If you know for a fact you should have your Tumbler, and haven't received one, try restoring your licenses. If that fails, ensure that you have downloaded the Expansion Pass (rather than just having purchased it) from with the Xbox Live or Playstation Store.

It's a damned if you do, damned if you dont situation. But I couldnt help feel like I was talking to the Speaker or the female Exo when reading that Exotics section: "I could tell you about what we have planned for exotics, but I dont have the time."
Or conversely, dont say "guys stay tuned for major information on exotics" and then say "hey guys, I know you want to hear about exotics so here it is: stay tuned for more information on exotics."

Exotics will not be made permanently obsolete.
for fuck's sake. we had like a three-hour respite and that was nice, but I would so love it if we could avoid turning into malcontent caricatures when we read something we don't like. he's a human being.
yes, try not to rub it in nowai's face too much.

That's terrible PR.
It's just terrible. I can't believe a paid PR professional gave their approval for that.
