Took my weapons out of the vault...def not paranoid that bungie might mess something up which causes me to loss everything in my vault.

 

[k1t4j]

OMG, did you guys see the Bungie twitter pic?

The Vex and Bad JuJu are in a pic they posted.

Hype is raising!!!

 

[Ghazi]

That's artificial bullshit, not a challenge.

And a lot of the game isn't like that?

 

[hydruxo]

Unfortunately I don't know that line. Care to shed some light?

"This will lead us straight to the grave! ....the world's grave, not ours"

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Unfortunately I don't know that line. Care to shed some light?

During The World's Grave mission on the moon, Dinklebot says something along the lines of "We're approaching the grave. The world's grave, not ours."

Its supposed to be... funny?.... I guess... but its just super cringe worthy.

 

[realcZk]

So them posting that picture again makes me think those are the only ones getting tweaked. I hope they're smart enough to figure out a way to buff/nerf things differently for PVE/PVP content. There's no reason Pocket Infinity shouldn't go back to 8 rounds for PVE and Suros should probably get its damage back for PVE.

That's one thing they are working on. The Thorn buff today for instance, will give Thorn more DoT damage in PvE but keep PvP how it was pre nerf (should be a 7 dmg tick again).

what if they clear out your inventory?

 

[scarletham]

winner winner.




Dinklebot: This should lead us to the grave.....the worlds grave not ours.

LOL

Aah haha yes, now I remember. Even worse than "That wizard came from the moon"

 

[Lalalandia]

Unfortunately I don't know that line. Care to shed some light?

During the "The World's Grave" mission Dinklebot has this line "....the world's grave...not ours" it is indeed a candidate for worst line as the delivery is as leaden as the writing. I'm still rating "I don't even have time to tell you why I don't have time to tell you" as higher on the awful scale just for the utter contempt for story telling that it conveys.

I got a giggle out of it the first time I did the mission, not gonna lie

But mostly because it's such a bad line lol

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Break my addication of Destiny? Return back to the rl

 

[DJ88]

They can do anything they want as long as they don't touch my Last Word or Ballerhorn. Unless they're buffs of course.

 

[CREMSteve]

I liked that line and miss it greatly.

No ballerhorn tweaks this time around, not sure about TLW but I doubt it.

 

[E92 M3]

At this point I am not expecting a vault size increase, but still believe it's coming with the expansion. They have to give us more space when push comes to shove.

 

[Midas]

Soon. Game world will reboot soon, or whatever the popup said. Better not start anything like a raid.

Make it Life Changing Advice

I'm just worried that it will eventually catch on and the exotic perk will one day be nerfed and that's what makes the gun so damn unique

I was playing Control a couple of days ago with 2 of my friends and we all had Super Good Advice while we were sitting on point B on Blind Watch. Anytime anyone got close to the doors or the stairs leading up to B we would just unload bullet hell for about 20-30 seconds and there was nothing anyone could do about it. It really is quite unfair, but not many folk realize it since no one uses the gun.

 

[IXIKelsonIXI]

Its supposed to be... funny?.... I guess... but its just super cringe worthy.

Y'all are pretty harsh on this stuff. It wasn't hilarious or delivered flawlessly...but it was kinda funny and meant to lighten the mood a little. I chuckled and moved on.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

I hope (in the face of logic) that all of those exotics are getting buffs.

It would be nice if Super Good Advice became usable.

Also, no Monte Carlo in that picture makes me sad.

Considering that it is a PS exclusive weapon, likely best to not put it in the picture. Old wounds you know.

 

[scarletham]

I liked that line and miss it greatly.

Miss it? Is it gone?

 

[Ambitious]

Currently VoC is better. It is a great gun and keeps that exotic slot free. Will see just how good the Vex is after today's update though because this may (and should) change.

Right now, VoC is a way better weapon.
Better range, better on ammo, more stability.

Doesn't take up an exotic slot.

Nice. Thanks.
Going to upgrade it as soon as possible.

OT 12 | We've really woken the hive

Weapons

Exotics
Exotic Weapons are designed to look, feel, and sound overpowered. At the same time, they are not supposed to break the balance of the game. We hope these weapons challenge the way players think about their loadouts. Exotics will be a constant work in-progress!

General

• In preparation for the Dark Below, Exotic Armor and Weapons no longer require Ascendant Materials to upgrade
• The final upgrade node of all Exotic Gear will require an Exotic Shard
• Exotic Shards can be obtained by one of the following means:
• Dismantling unwanted Exotics
• Purchased from Xur for 7 Strange Coins
• Exotics now start at a higher base Attack value and have a narrowed upgrade range to compensate

Thorn

• Projectiles now briefly highlight targets on impact
• Mark of the Devourer DoT (damage-over-time) upgrade increased against PvE enemy targets
• Reload Speed increased
• Magazine Size increased

• Enhanced Battery upgrade by Extended Mag (this change still allows for a significant upgrade to Magazine Size, but less than before)

It was terrible.

I feel the same about: "Not to unsettle you, but I'm tracking the Sword by the Light of the Guardians it's killed. ."

Sounds like what Valus Ta'aurc does to us!

Wouldn't this play out the same with you and your friends all using Thunderlord, or most legendary HMG's for that matter?

I hope these aren't the only ones being retooled.

 

[Deku Tree]

Bungie seems to always (that I have seen) pretend that the PS exclusive content does not exist. The only place you hear about it is on the PS blog and news outlets. You never see the PS exclusive content mentioned anywhere in anything that Bungie or Activision produces themselves.

Monte Carlo is gonna be buffed today as well.

 

[Hyun Sai]

So, I think the Suros will be effectively useless in PVE if they nerf it, as for now it's just slightly better than some legendaries for the cost of an exotic slot.

 

[Flying Toaster]

Y'all are pretty harsh on this stuff. It wasn't hilarious or delivered flawlessly...but it was kinda funny and meant to lighten the mood a little. I chuckled and moved on.

Game writing delivered by serious A list star power is serious business.

Still the worst line ever delivered is the

"I don't even have time to tell you why I don't have time."

 

[CREMSteve]

Miss it? Is it gone?

Yeah, it's not in the final game. Was only in the Alpha/Beta.

 

[Strider]

It's UUUUUUUUPPP. Monte Carlo tweaks! Hell Yes!

Idk if it needed a range reduction though but fuck it I'm testing that gun out first.

In preparation for the Dark Below, Exotic Armor and Weapons no longer require Ascendant Materials to upgrade

O_O holy shit

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

I was hoping we would get these changes before The Dark Below. Hate to be going into new content with the same lame farming.

I know some things are being fixed in the raid. Templar cheese is going away as well as at least one of the atheon teleport bugs. I think changes are coming to Bad JuJu, Monte Carlo, Thorn. Probably other stuff as well.

 

[Ourobolus]

Thorn
Projectiles now briefly highlight targets on impact
Mark of the Devourer DoT (damage-over-time) upgrade increased against PvE enemy targets
Reload Speed increased
Magazine Size increased
Ammo inventory size increased
Stability and Weapon Handling increased
Bad Juju
Magazine Size increased to 8 bursts (was 5)
Ammo inventory size increased
String of Curses now also decreases the cooldown of your Super on kill
Adjusted effects to not block first person reticle

HELL YEAH

Player Speed increased while Plan C is in hand

Oh damn, Now I'm really happy I bought this.

Truth
Magazine Size increased to 3 (was 1)

This was the one thing that was stopping me from using Truth. Awesome.

[Flying Toaster]

Thats because they know they are assholes for doing it. A large portion of their players pay the same price for missing content. Blunder of 2014. Of course no one will learn from this and it will continue to happen.

Wut.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Super Good Advice returns ammo to the gun if you miss shots, so no. I am saying that you can unload for literally a minute or longer if you have a full clip. There is no other gun you can do this with.

 

[Deku Tree]

Templar cheese gone. Flawless raiders need to do it again IMO. Although maybe Atheon is easier without the bugs. Hope the bugs are all gone... Wonder if you can still push the Templar off sideways?

 

[Strider]

Strange coins given a new purpose. I like it.

Also I hope you didn't dismantle your duplicate exotics before now lol

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Yeah no more grinding for mats and Monte Carlo is buff maybe? Need to mess around with it ingame

 

[Hawkian]

Notes are up aha! Time to dig in here.

 

[KennyLinder]

What's a Destination Material? Helium Filaments, Spirit Bloom etc?

 

[Ourobolus]

Fixed an exploit where the Templar could be forced off its platform

FUUUUUUCK

Oh well.

What's a Destination Material? Helium Filaments, Spirit Bloom etc?

I think it means if the story mission takes place on Mars, you'll get Relic Iron, etc.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

I'm still rating "I don't even have time to tell you why I don't have time to tell you" as higher on the awful scale just for the utter contempt for story telling that it conveys.

True. Those could be 1a and 1b for "worst line."

Y'all are pretty harsh on this stuff. It wasn't hilarious or delivered flawlessly...but it was kinda funny and meant to lighten the mood a little. I chuckled and moved on.

I don't think its harsh to say that line is bad. A big part of the problem is the vague, generic terminology about stuff like "The Darkness" etc. Wth is "the world's grave" anyway? It just sounds so silly to begin with, and then that line....

 

[DJ88]

Super Good Advice returns ammo to the gun if you miss shots, so no. I am saying that you can unload for literally a minute or longer if you have a full clip. There is no other gun you can do this with.

Oh I see haha, that's pretty good.

 

[rNilla]

So many exotic changes to check out.

 

[Diablohead]

RIP shardboys, I just used like 100 of them upgrading my warlock to 30 and my titan to 29 lately.

 

[Strider]

Thorn got mega-buffed. That adjustment to Bad Juju decreasing Super time could make it amazing for PvP depending.
