Wow this update. Guess it's time to pop this game back into my PS4. Guess it's also time to do that Thorn bounty.

Speaking of which, can you guys recommend the best method in doing the void portion of that bounty?

 

[scarletham]

oh good, hawkswinstanley doesn't have to quit.

I can tell you right now that at this moment Thorn is OP. You have all reaped what you have sown!

 

[LiK]

The patch says those are different:



Daily Heroic Story

Destination Materials now drop from completing the Daily Heroic

Bounties

Removed the ‘Relic Hunter’ Bounty
Destination Materials now drop from completing the Daily Patrol Bounty

I don't think I've heard "Daily Patrol Bounty" used before.

oh, so i guess just harder versions of the Daily? maybe we can choose higher difficulties there now.

The "daily patrol" is actually the one bounty that's like "Do 6 Patrols here!"

there's gonna be harder versions? i wouldn't mind.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

oh good, hawkswinstanley doesn't have to quit.

I can tell you right now that at this moment Thorn is OP. You have all reaped what you have sown!

I earned my Thorn with my hunter using only the 77 wizard.

 

[figadapaura]

^ same for me but it was light/beware.



People will find anything to complain about, won't they?

 

[Byron Bluth]

Not if you have all raid gear.

You have to be fucking shitting me. Well looks like I have 0 level 30 character now. Fuck this shit. Wow

 

[Strider]

I can tell you right now that at this moment Thorn is OP. You have all reaped what you have sown!

It is. I don't need to see it in action to know.

I'm already pissed at the amount of Thorn users and I haven't played a game of crucible yet

 

[shem935]

Not if you have all raid gear.

They don't retroactively degrade your exotics do they? Please say no...I already disabled all my unwanted exotics because...well...I didn't want them :/

 

[Orthogonal]

How is Bad Juju post buff? I have the bounty collecting dust in my inventory. Wondering if I should make a push on it now.

 

[Johan Liebert]

Just need one exotic shard to max out my Vex and i'll be set. Glad I have a shit ton of coins saved up.

Now Xur just needs to sell the Horn....

 

[Steroyd]

I just got 300 relic iron in 2 seconds.

[Jinjo]

Daily patrol bounty is "do 6 patrol missions on planet x" bounty. It just gave me 10 mats per completed bounty.

 

[Byron Bluth]

People will find anything to complain about, won't they?

Being bumped down to 29 from 30. Yeah. Plenty to complain about thanks.

 

[scarletham]

It is. I don't need to see it in action to know.

I'm already pissed at the amount of Thorn users and I haven't played a game of crucible yet

I'm excited. I got mine a few days before the accidental nerf - never had time to use it in its prime. Now it's back, and better than ever.

 

[king picollo]

So is the Vex buff in crucible as well? I thought they were only buffing it for pve.

 

[hydruxo]

Time to start working on the pvp part of the Thorn bounty. It's been sitting in my inventory for a month haha.

 

[zombiemortar]

They don't retroactively degrade your exotics do they? Please say no...I already disabled all my unwanted exotics because...well...I didn't want them :/

No; all of your previously maxed exotics stayed maxed. The new material is only for unmaxed exotic weapons or armor. Raid/legendary gear still uses the mats.

 

[figadapaura]

You have to be fucking shitting me. Well looks like I have 0 level 30 character now. Fuck this shit. Wow

What? If you're already level 30, you still will be.

 

[LiK]

i'm pretty surprised at the buffs for Plan C, cuz that FR is already beastly in PVP. now it's even better.

 

[Strider]

They don't retroactively degrade your exotics do they? Please say no...I already disabled all my unwanted exotics because...well...I didn't want them :/

No. Still 30 here without all the raid gear.

Could be a glitch that screwed them over.

 

[LordofPwn]

I haven't confirmed with casmith or yzenup yet so you will be the first replacement for sure if one of them can't make it.

Sweeeet. I'll have my first character ready and online by reset incase they can't make it. 3x3x3 should only take 3 hours if that right?

 

[Tawpgun]

Fuckin awsome update.

Wonder how many people are crying over the Templar fix

 

[Namikaze1]

I guess I should upgrade my Thorn now.

Same.

 

[Byron Bluth]

What? If you're already level 30, you still will be.

I am using 1 exotic armour piece for all 3 characters to get to 30. I have all the raid gear but I upgraded exotic armour instead in its place for the buffs.

 

[CREMSteve]

I just got 300 relic iron in 2 seconds.

How?

 

[Prototype-03]

Wow this update. Guess it's time to pop this game back into my PS4. Guess it's also time to do that Thorn bounty.

I rocked the comedian, played like a chicken, and avoided big maps. Did that portion within a day. Played it hella lame. Not my proudest moment but had to do it.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Okay, I'll give you that, but my experience has showed that anything can accidentally kill someone. Plus if this encounter takes even longer now, it's just gone be frustrating repeating it over and over again. But then again, we were having bad luck that day. I guess anyone can get sick of it if made to do it like ten times in a day....

With all the harpies flying around and the detain shields, I would definitely institute a "no rockets" policy for flawless Templar. I really don't think legit takes much if any longer than cheese, it will just be more interesting now so it might actually make repeating runs better.

Easy Templar Flawless Strat

1.)Group up by cave on right side. Ignore oracles and cleanse everyone when marked (same as cheese, basically).
2.) Titan Defenders pop both WoL and BoL Wards of Dawn with perk that spawns Orbs when taking damage.
3.) Relic holder has nearly constant Super energy to take down shield.
4.) Maxed Found Verdict for detain shields. Maxed Icebreakers for Templar. Templar cries.

 

[firehawk12]

The "daily patrol" is actually the one bounty that's like "Do 6 Patrols here!"

Wait, does each patrol mission give you 10 mats, or do you need to do 6 and complete the bounty to get the 10 mats?

 

[figadapaura]

Being bumped down to 29 from 30. Yeah. Plenty to complain about thanks.

I wasn't referring to you, but I have no idea what you're talking about anyway.

 

[LiK]

Fuckin awsome update.

Wonder how many people are crying over the Templar fix

they need to play it legit now. Zoba is happy.

 

[zombiemortar]

I am using 1 exotic armour piece for all 3 characters to get to 30. I have all the raid gear but I upgraded exotic armour instead in its place for the buffs.

As long as that exotic armor was maxed out prior you're fine.

 

[Orthogonal]

Fuckin awsome update.

Wonder how many people are crying over the Templar fix

Not like Templar is hard to do legit, just takes a little longer for some people.

 

[shem935]

No; all of your previously maxed exotics stayed maxed. The new material is only for unmaxed exotic weapons or armor. Raid/legendary gear still uses the mats.

No. Still 30 here without all the raid gear.

Could be a glitch that screwed them over.

Okay that's good. guess I will need to farm some coins and save up for Xur this friday. Glad he will be relevant again, outside of the obvious Ghorn sale this friday.

Spoiler

#Believe

 

[Strider]

Thorn, Bad Juju and Monte Carlo all taken out of the vault. Let's do this.

 

[Frenden]

I just upgraded all the exotics sitting in my vault to all but their final exotic upgrade mat from Xur.

This changes everything.

 

[Carn82]

Wait, does each patrol mission give you 10 mats

yes

 

[Steroyd]

How?

150 crucible points + New economy = aaaaaw yiss.

 

[TsuWave]

so ascendant materials are now only needed for legendary armor/weapons?

 

[Orthogonal]

Now I need to complete my Thorn bounty ASAP.

Anyone else need to take on Xyor? That's all I have left.

PS4, PSN: Khorgano

 

[figadapaura]

I am using 1 exotic armour piece for all 3 characters to get to 30. I have all the raid gear but I upgraded exotic armour instead in its place for the buffs.

What's the problem then? Raid gear still requires shards. I think you misunderstood me.

 

[Sullichin]

Uh, don't know what people are talking about being bumped from 30. My Warlock is still level 30, with a mix of exotic/raid/IB armor.

 

[Hawkian]

This is the exact issue. People are being left out because of the awful loot system and people who have the gear can't relate.

The weapon that started this conversation is intended to be one of the rarest and most coveted in the game. I'm asking for your solution to this problem.

I have a blast playing this game and never said that once yet you always say that to people when they have an issue with the game. Just stop playing! A little too black and white.

I have issues with this game. plenty of them. And I've heard the argument you just made before about plenty of games. If we're going to do this let's do it.

Maybe one day they will fix the loot system and make it so people can play for fun and not RNG, OCD and being left out.

That's you saying that. Not me saying you're saying that. It's your claim. You argue pretty unequivocally that because of the loot system, some people can't play for fun and instead are playing for other reasons. My counterargument is that if that's happening you shouldn't be playing at all. It is, to me, in this context, black and white.

I'm not telling you to stop playing, I'm advocating a change in perspective. Do you have Fatebringer by any chance?

there's gonna be harder versions? i wouldn't mind.

I'm getting confused, but just to be clear, I think it means you get some materials for beating the "do 6 patrols" bounty each day.

 

[shem935]

yes

Haha fuck yes! Even better than using marks!

basically. destiny is the most uninspired shooter ive ever see

Yeah sorry I either misread someone or it wasn't clear in the orginal post. My fault guys sorry for derailing.

 

[The Lamonster]

Wow this update. Guess it's time to pop this game back into my PS4. Guess it's also time to do that Thorn bounty.

Speaking of which, can you guys recommend the best method in doing the void portion of that bounty?

I had a lot of luck with a void fusion rifle. Just change your play style to be less aggressive and more defensive. Play a lot of control, hang out at the control points and blast fools that come to take your land. It really only takes a few hours of crucible.

FYI - Xyor took us over an hour. Players without the bounty gain nothing from it. Plan accordingly.

 

[Byron Bluth]

As long as that exotic armor was maxed out prior you're fine.

Sweet Zombie Jesus! Thank god! Was about to shit myself.

 

[Orthogonal]

10 mats per patrol? That's cool I guess.

Do you still get Vanguard Rep?

 

[SockyJohnson]

Terrestrial Complex has been updated also... Now Fallen and Hive are battling throughout instead of the just the Fallen skulking around.

 

[JohnOfMars]

Wonder how many people are crying over the Templar fix.

I am. LFG the next couple days are going to be rough as everyone figures out the Templar again. That's the extent of my tears. After that, it'll be fine.

 

[LiK]

I'm getting confused, but just to be clear, I think it means you get some materials for beating the "do 6 patrols" bounty each day.

ok, that sounds better cuz i no longer do those bounties anymore for the measly XP.

 

[Namikaze1]

My Hunter is finally level 30 and thus I no longer care about Vault of Ass!
Now I have to take all 3 Guardians to 32...
