I'll miss hanging out at the bottom of the stairs.

Ascendant Mats change only goes live tomorrow? I still see them on my Thorn and Ahamkara Spine

 

[Ourobolus]

One of them. Still got the other one.

What's the other one?

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Templar cheese is dead.

The Era of Cheese* has now ended.

Spoiler

*Current era.

 

[Strider]

The Era of Cheese has now ended.

but a new one begins... 12/9

 

[scarletham]

Because Thorn was originally 7 points for DoT in PvP. Then they accidentally broke it in the last update so now it only does 3 points for DoT in PvP and claimed they'd fix it when the weapons got buffed.

So I assumed the DoT would return to its normal 7 points as it had before and then will get more than that in PvE. But you said you thought it would only count towards PvE. So it's making me wonder if the DoT is 7 points in PvP again.

Oh sorry, I'm all caught up now. Yes, I think it's still at 3 in PvP.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Thank god did the flawless already.... Not that it ain't still doable but this just increases risk of death even more

 

[plantedunicorn]

It came last patch, but it was mostly worthless.

Wow it was patched? Ha ha ha that shit was no bug it was intentional. How can they play the Valus strike and not realize that shit is not fun, it's just tedious.

Bungie tweeted that it will be within the hour when the game world resets.

The biggest question right now is what happens to maxed out exotics. Hopefully, we get a pass.

 

[Steroyd]

C'mon in-game patch, I want to try my new now useful toys.

 

[forrest]

And the vault space is still 20. well atleast buying mats is a good start! I can finally upgrade my weapons.

I'd really like to see vaults accessible from orbit and vault size upgrades tied to ships. It would at least make ships and finding better ships somewhat meaningful.

EvenEven better, if they had interior spaces for boss trophies, armor/weapon display and your vault similar to player housing in other games. Better ships = better features

 

[The Rain King]

I thought the Truth had two rockets in the mag...

It did.

 

[firehawk12]

so fully leveled vex at 323 is gonna be a beast in the new raid correct.

Naw, the new raid gear is still stronger.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

I've been sitting on a Vanguard Mentor Missive for a week now, in anticipation of this patch. The choices are Juju or Invective. Does anyone have an opinion on whether Juju's buff is enough to go for it over Invective?

 

[CREMSteve]

One of them. Still got the other one.

What's the other one entail? I knew of two, both of which have now been addressed.

 

[Jinjo]

Lol they rebuffed pocket infinity. You can select the increased mag perk again. It's 5 shots now, was it 8 before?

 

[hydruxo]

Overall very pleased with the patch notes, though this one doesn't make much sense to me:

Faction Class Items (ex: FWC Cloak, Dead Orbit Mark, etc.) are now replaced by Faction Emblems in the rank-up reward packages from Faction Vendors

We can buy emblems just like we can buy class items, so I'm not really getting the point of this. Should've taken class items out and increased the chance to get a faction shader.

 

[Zakalwe]

Upgrade your legendary gear.

Had a massive malfunction there. Ignore me.

Really glad I saved my duplicate exotics. :3

 

[zewone]

One of them. Still got the other one.

Whats the other?

 

[scarletham]

So the change to how exotics are upgraded - what does it mean for the viability of current exotic gear post DLC?

 

[Hawkian]

Whoa why is Plan C better! And Pocket Infinity is changed back which means it's still not changed hahahaha.

So the change to how exotics are upgraded - what does it mean for the viability of current exotic gear post DLC?

We don't know but Exotics will never be obsolete in Destiny. The game just isn't designed to do that. I imagine we'll upgrade them and then they'll be as viable as any new exotic when newly "maxed."

Overall very pleased with the patch notes, though this one doesn't make much sense to me:



We can buy emblems just like we can buy class items, so I'm not really getting the point of this. Should've taken class items out and increased the chance to get a faction shader.

You HAD to buy the class item to have a chance at getting the reward package, so it was sending you something you were guaranteed to actually have. just a small tweak to prevent that.

Well you can buy some of the weapons too but at least you don't get something you are already guaranteed to be wearing.

 

[Ourobolus]

I imagine they'll still be useful in PvP...at least the Crucible.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

[HawksWinStanley]

Oh sorry, I'm all caught up now. Yes, I think it's still at 3 in PvP.

If that's true then I think I'm done.

Crucible is about the only thing that interests me in this game since I have no luck with RNG in the raid and other PvE stuff. If they're going to permanently break the coolest part of my favorite weapon then I've got other stuff to play.

 

[Hiko]

WTF at the Regime nerf. Glass half full is borderline useless. It adds like 10 damage at most. Instead of nerfing the SUROS upgrade, they needed to buff glass half full to be like SUROS. The stock Vanquisher VIII would have been totally obscene.

"The final upgrade node of all Exotic Gear will require an Exotic Shard"

On exotic weapons already maxed do we have to worry about this? Can anyone confirm?

My 291 Ice Breaker still says I need energy to upgrade the last node. WTF.

 

[Akai XIII]

Anyone on the Xbone going to raid soon? Nm? I've just hit 26 and would like to get it in before the reset... I've done it plenty of times on the ps4.

 

[Frenden]

I have a lot of legendary weapons that have their final three upgrades unfinished because I was stingy and wanted to save the mats for potential exotics.

Side effect of this patch? I don't have to feel guilty about upgrading them any longer.

 

[hydruxo]

Well you can buy some of the weapons too but at least you don't get something you are already guaranteed to be wearing.

It just seems pointless. Nobody is asking for emblems. People want the shaders.

 

[CREMSteve]

My 291 Ice Breaker still says I need energy to upgrade the last node. WTF.

Server hasn't updated yet.

 

[zewone]

Wow it was patched? Ha ha ha that shit was no bug it was intentional. How can they play the Valus strike and not realize that shit is not fun, it's just tedious.

They made solo strikes slightly harder and 3 person strikes slightly less.

A few strike bosses need direct changes, such as Valus, but we didn't get that.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Flawless looks even easier to obtain now.

HELP ME! lol

Flawless is crazy easy now, lol.

Patch notes are pretty great overall. That Thorn buff, holy shit. But booo to the slight HMoon range nerf. Hammer Forged gives very slightly less range than Send It did.

 

[firehawk12]

My 291 Ice Breaker still says I need energy to upgrade the last node. WTF.

Patch is not live server-side yet.

Flawless is crazy easy now, lol.

Patch notes are pretty great overall. That Thorn buff, holy shit.

Yep. Atheon fix makes the whole thing easier on the whole.

People just need to learn to do Templar again. lol

 

[gdt]

Very excited about this update. They also fixed the one pet peeve with my wonderful Patience and Time....low zoom! I always switch to low zoom on my snipers, makes them work better at mid distances.

 

[Zakalwe]

I imagine they'll still be useful in PvP...at least the Crucible.

There must be a way for them to remain viable.

Would be insane to make them obsolete for any content when they have such a small weapon/armour pool.

 

[Deku Tree]

I installed an update 20 minutes ago, and booted up my game, but none of the changes have been applied yet... Anyone else see th changes in their game so far?

 

[rNilla]

It just seems pointless. Nobody is asking for emblems. People want the shaders.

Yeah I agree. The way shaders work is still insane.

 

[Frenden]

Whoa why is Plan C better! And Pocket Infinity is changed back which means it's still not changed hahahaha.

I'm just drooling at the Ahamkara's Spine synergy that Plan C and PI will have after. This is going to be amazing.

 

[Ourobolus]

We gonna have some fun this next week.

 

[TalentBurke]

Patch is not live server-side yet.

Yeah I was saying the same thing, all my weapons are the same. Guess we have to wait longer...

 

[Strider]

Whoa why is Plan C better! And Pocket Infinity is changed back which means it's still not changed hahahaha.

Yea I'm surprised by these two.

My 291 Ice Breaker still says I need energy to upgrade the last node. WTF.

I installed an update 20 minutes ago, and booted up my game, but none of the changes have been applied yet... Anyone else see th changes in their game so far?

Because the in-game update isn't live yet.

 

[Temujen]

So we'll have to wait for the reset tomorrow before the patch actually changes anything?

 

[dmg04]

So, now that I can buy materials with Cruc/Van points, can I just spend a shitload of van points on mats and trade said mats for Cruc???

 

[raindoc]

Why is my Vex still at 300?

 

[zewone]

My 291 Ice Breaker still says I need energy to upgrade the last node. WTF.

You still have time to max your gun before this dumb exotic update. Gotta go fast.

 

[gdt]

They made solo strikes slightly harder and 3 person strikes slightly less.

A few strike bosses need direct changes, such as Valus, but we didn't get that.

With a maxed Gjallarhorn he goes down in a few shots

 

[realcZk]

how bout that thorn, guys?

 

[MrAnderson]

I'm jelly of all you ppl with the vex . Hopefully tomorrow is my day.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

how bout that thorn, guys?

Sounds like it might still be broken in PvP.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Yep. Atheon fix makes the whole thing easier on the whole.

People just need to learn to do Templar again. lol

Haha true. As demonstrated by our recent guardian lord raid, some people have forgotten how to do templar, lol. I always enjoyed his fight, it shouldn't be remotely hard for flawless and still take basically the same amount of time.
