Support NeoGAF

[Cyros]

I'm all in. I have a level 29 Titan that I'm hoping to get Crota-worthy in short order when the new Vanguard gear hits. Anyone here on XB1 can feel free to add me and invite whenever they see me online. My gamertag is: Ev0lved1

I'm also starting an XB1 specific clan to help with organizing raids, weeklies, PVP etc. The clan name is Evolution Disciples and anyone on DestinyGAF on XB1 can feel free to join.

Sent you a friend request.

same rewards.

wait what

 

[JetBlackPanda]

So it looks like only Vanguard and Crucible get actual new armor that looks different. Not only that, but Crucible is a literal reskin of Vanguard armor, but it's just a different color.

Dead Orbit, etc will get the same armor except it's updated for level 32.

That's pretty lame.

wtf is the point of factions. Damn Bungie.

 

[E92 M3]

Got 1 last night, and 3 more Legendary engrams today....just at the right time.

I haven't gotten a single one all week =/

--

Sucks that Bungie didn't increase the rewards for level 30.

 

[Johan Liebert]

same rewards.

Damn, hope this doesn't mean that the Weekly and Nightfall will just be harder without any better rewards :/

 

[ArkkAngel007]

The commendations are in the Reputation Details at the vendors, though nothing yet requires them.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Whoa Level 30 in Effect...
Wow now that's a huge gap from 26 to 30, DAMN!

DO THE TITANS GET FURRY ARMOR?

the armor modifiers vary.

Hot Fix Notes

Daily/Nightfall/Weekly have been upped to 30

 

[Diablohead]

Wonder if drops at level 30 will be any different today or not.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Hot Fix Notes

without adding anything to the reward pool? damn

 

[GraveRobberX]

Damn no more carrying level 25's through NF/Weekly, now you need to be 27 LOL

 

[ComputerMKII]

Does that mean I can do the Nightfall again this week and get more rewards?

Edit: Doesn't seem like it

 

[Darryl M R]

Will I get better drops for doing the level 30 nightfall if I already did the level 28?

Looking for some other level 30 to knock it out now, PSN: Darryl_M_R

Dammit quoted before the edit.

 

[ComputerMKII]

In case anyone here has a slow connection like me, I advise you to keep your PS4 in Rest mode when you're not playing just in case. Don't want to have to download a long update when you could be playing the new raid!

 

[Sullichin]

Factions are really poorly implemented. I never saw a reason to go with a faction with how the rewards work. Pretty disappointing that the new armor is the same. Ranking a faction has to be one of the biggest waste of times in the whole game.

Really did you already test it out? No new rewards?

 

[Strider]

Best daily ever.

Took less than 5 minutes and got a legendary engram.

 

[Victory Red]

I know this sounds terrible, but does anyone else think that the problem with this DLC is that there's only one Raid?

Bungie can't lock off the only raid to the elite players because people who buy the DLC do deserve access to what they paid for, but at the same time it means the biggest, most exciting part of the DLC is going to be finished in a day, meaning that players have to look for other things to do. Things like grinding up their already maxed exotics in preparation for...a slightly harder version of the Raid they already did?

I dunno, just feels like this DLC isn't going to have that exciting thing to work towards that the release version did - but maybe the hard raid will cover that. I guess it just depends how different they make it.

I understand what you're saying.

When the Vault of Glass came out I didn't go anywhere near it because I wanted to at least be a 28 to tackle it and it took me time to even play it.

We will be playing this raid day one, be experts at it within a few weeks.... then what?

 

[noomi]

Anyone for a quick Nightfall right after reset tomorrow morning @ 4AM EST (PS4)? Need to run it twice actually if you are interested.

Let me know, let's knock those out before jumping into the new content

1. noomi85 - hunter - level 30
2. a_javierp - titan - level 30
3. ?

 

[everyday math]

That's lame...

I'm doing one if you want to join.

Psn: ruthlesbarbarian

Nightfall and weekly are still 28. Only daily is 30.

 

[Trakan]

DO THE TITANS GET FURRY ARMOR?

Yeah, that's the new Vanguard/Crucible chest, according to that reddit thread.

 

[THE GREY CARDINAL]

I would really like some Destiny stats...hearing that Hawkmoon and Monte Carlo alone have racked up 435 million kills in 3 months is mind blowing. Would love to know more info.

 

[FyreWulff]

looks like it paid off to do the daily early.

 

[Steroyd]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I got a legendary engram drop... Into the vault you go. ^_^

 

[Chamber]

Weekly and NF are still showing Level 28 for me. I see the Daily at 30.

The gap between 26 and 30 for Weekly and Daily is a bit unfriendly I have to say.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Jesus fuck, talk about leveling the playing field, at Daily Heroic 28 and you being 30 you had a 2 level worth of Defense upgrade to save yo' ass and take risks and survive, not anymore!

Time to get to 32 ASAP to get back the 2 level advantage!

 

[lazybones18]

Made a similar post in the Crota thread, but I still need people who'll be ready for the Crota Raid later tonight


Crota's End Blind Raid (Tuesday at 4am EST) (PS4)

1. Me (Level 30 Hunter) (Lazykarl24)
2. westtrade (Level 30 Titan)
3.
4.
5.
6.

Reserves

Let me know if you want in

 

[ComputerMKII]

When you've already done a mission at a certain difficulty setting, it doesn't show the reward list anymore, no need to do the mission again just to check

 

[Diablohead]

Factions are really poorly implemented. I never saw a reason to go with a faction with how the rewards work. Pretty disappointing that the new armor is the same. Ranking a faction has to be one of the biggest waste of times in the whole game.

I liked it with dark orbit as the armor was nice looking at the start of the game, some of their weapons given on ranking up have been nice but otherwise yeah, vanguard are a lot better in the long run.

With the new reccomendation system i'll never get cool loot from dark orbit now, legendarys with random perks are better then shop bought presets.

 

[Orthogonal]

wait what

Makes sense. The new Vendor gear just resets the baseline. 30 is the new 28. Any player not yet 30 at end game with a modest investment could hit 30 this week, maybe next.

 

[LordofPwn]

I'm up for it if I don't find another group earlier tomorrow (or if it's OK that I'm not fresh). I'll be playing all day starting around 7 AM CST.

PSN rNilla.

Will put you down on the list

Damn....I really shouldn't because I have a paper to write, but fuck it. I need this.

PSN - EyelessOrphan

Will add. should only take 4 hours, so you still should have time to write paper.

 

[Manp]

Whoa Level 30 in Effect...
Wow now that's a huge gap from 26 to 30, DAMN!

pfft why add a lvl 30 one with better reward on top of the 28 one when you can just make it harder with no bonus shit

 

[Navid]

Hmmm, would have preferred they had kept lvl 28 with the rewards currently available and added lvl 30 on top of that with maybe a few more rewards (8 vanguard marks?)... right now it definitely feels like a big gap between 20 - 26 - 30.

 

[Darryl M R]

Anybody? Need 4 brave guardians

Hey did you see my response to the other thread. I hope you will be down for having me along.

Level 30 Hunter PSN: Darryl_M_R (VOC, IB, Vex, FB, raid machine gun, etc)

 

[Diablohead]

Are the town armor vendors selling updated gear yet?

 

[Orthogonal]

Are the town armor vendors selling updated gear yet?

Tomorrow

 

[Squall ASF]

I thought they would keep 28 still, huh. Man, I totally forgot about the level increase. So much for Hawkian and I carrying each other's Titans through NF and Weekly...

 

[Diablohead]

Tomorrow

I just wondered because of the hot fix and 30 challenges appearing today.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Will put you down on the list

4 hours? Seems optimistic.

 

[SlenderBeans]

Wow, I'm an idiot. I forgot the expansion comes out tomorrow, and I scheduled my test for Wednesday.

 

[FyreWulff]

Are the town armor vendors selling updated gear yet?

No.

At least not for me.

Also, if you ran the 28 daily, you don't get rewards for 30

 

[Pickman]

Boss caught me on Destiny GAF today and I got in a torrent of shit for it so no more Pickman on during the work day.

On the plus side last night I got my raid chest and gloves so once I get those leveled up I'll finally be 60.

 

[Wired All Wrong]

pfft why add a lvl 30 one with better reward on top of the 28 one when you can just make it harder with no bonus shit

Maybe the chance for a legendary engram is higher? I know some have said here they got one from doing the 30 and I just watched a streamer do it twice and got a legendary engram both times.

 

[Chamber]

Makes sense. The new Vendor gear just resets the baseline. 30 is the new 28. Any player not yet 30 at end game with a modest investment could hit 30 this week, maybe next.

It makes it seem like the commendations will be retroactive. I might grind marks today just to be on the safe side. I would love to wake up tomorrow and be able to buy a Level 30+ helmet.

 

[Deku Tree]

Whoa Level 30 in Effect...
Wow now that's a huge gap from 26 to 30, DAMN!

I am more interested in the new rewards for the Weekly 30 etc... anyone downloaded the patch and haven't done the weekly yet?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Yeah I need to run 2 NF and 1 weekly.
