Hi.
Why more IB?
PvE players getting the shaft.

Spoiler

Again

Kinda getting tired of all this PvP focus. I can't be the only one.

If anything, I'd say PvP players get the shaft period. We get 2-3 marks per game, very little in the way of rewards, so the Iron Banner is a nice event that at least gives back in a certain way.

And what else does Bungie have for PvE events? The Queen's Wrath? Snooze-fest. Though haven't the events been pretty even now? 2 times with Queen's Wrath and 2 times with Iron Banner? Just next week puts IB ahead.

Patch also confirmed about the Oversoul bug where it looked like it was destroyed but it still wiped us. I remember a few raid guys I joined didn't really believe me.

FUCK YOU NONBELIEVERS. I know a bug when I see it.

 

[Darryl M R]

Idk I really enjoy it. I don't exactly have to push myself.

I enjoy the game a lot. Plus, I'm a huge Dragon Age fan.

I think my issue is that I don't understand the lore enough.

-

I don't think I'm ever going to reach rank 4 with Eris. I'm just not motivated. . I can be level 32 on my hunter today easily so I don't need to exchange shards and energy.

 

[JTran2003]

Just beat the story. Level 18, 154 kills, no deaths. Time to level to 20 and start working on a full blue set. Already have chest and boots, need head, arms, and band.

How do you get your name on the "Those who have become legend" front page?

Platinum trophy

Platinum will be mine soon! Must become legend!

Did we discuss this part of the patch yet?:



The only time I've NOT seen the Shriekers spawn is when everyone forgets to aggro the melee knights after pulling the witches out and don't kick off the encounter.

Never happened to me. I have no idea what that glitch looks like.

Has happened to us a few times and the Knights were definitely aggro'd.

I was believed that too.

Speaking of bugs, are they patching the VoG bug where once you retrieve the Venus relic, it sometimes won't allow you to portal back? Had that happen to me twice during a raid a couple of days ago. iRAWR said it was pretty common if you tried to sprint through it.

 

[The Lamonster]

I almost want to make a hunter just to use The Last Word.

Yup I don't know why they call this a rare issue when it can be reproduced. If you do not shoot any of the enemies down in the pit you do not get the notification that the Deathsinger has started preparing her song so that's why the shriekers don't spawn because the encounter hasn't started yet.

Happened to us this morning. This glitch is actually very common.

Fair point. Agreed.

 

[figadapaura]

Have you not played the previous 2 games?

 

[todd360]

lol poor kids

The first thing she did when she got back was to go see xur. Poor thing.

Yeah, don't sprint and go through one at a time. Don't count on it being patched. Bungie seems to have forgotten VoG.

They should add a level 32 difficulty to VoG and have that drop upgraded armor/weapons.

 

[E92 M3]

Anyone else disappointed that Crota's End is its own instance when assembling the bridge?

Unlike Vault of Glass, you can't be on patrol on the Moon and watch 6 guardians descend into the Hellmouth.

Yes, even though I never witnessed guardians going in.

 

[DJ Lushious]

Is this a bug?

Queen's Wrath was only once if I remember correctly while this is the third IB.
They did say they felt like QW needed some overhauling so I have high expectations after such a long absence of the event.

 

[Darryl M R]

Have you not played the previous 2 games?

Never. Just read up about them. I feel disconnected from the DA world still though.

 

[Robdraggoo]

has it been confirmed or not that primaries will drop at all stages of hard mode or just crota?

would be irritaing if armor dropped on hard mode when all peices are availabe in normal and will most likely need to be 32 to compete in hard mode compentnelty anyway.

I really want that scout and hand cannon. would be nice to have a good void primary since epilogue hasnt been used in over a month and wasnt super special to begin with

 

[LTWood12]

Was praying for the Hawkmoon upgrade today. 2/3 Gorgon chests were Hawkmoon last night (Sorry Lik).

My buddy T-44 got TLW from the nightfall, then from the gorgon chest last night (and he already had a 331 before both of these). So of course that's what Xur sells today.

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

We need IB soon. As a 32, we might have more chances to play against players who are actually low enough to not do dmg more often if they're in a party. Unless MM completely negates that. I might try doing it solo with randoms rather than a full party.

I really feel like it matches based on grimoire score more than gear. Why else did I keep getting stuck with entire teams of 29-30s when I was leveling up my level 4 warlock?

 

[Twilight Gap]

 

[figadapaura]

Never. Just read up about them. I feel disconnected from the DA world still though.

Ah, yeah that's probably why.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Has happened to us a few times and the Knights were definitely aggro'd.

Did you have to wipe, or did they eventually spawn?

What I'm getting at, is do you guys think the "fix" will be to change the encounter trigger to something more unavoidable than aggro'ing the knights?

 

[LiK]

I don't think they're gonna bother fixing anything else at VoG at this point. They're focusing mainly on CE and the upcoming Hard mode. They seem to only fix bugs/exploits that become popular. The portal bug doesn't happen often enough for them to fix it, imo.

 

[X-Frame]

I'm starting the Nightfall if anyone wants to pop in. I have to do it twice too.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Iron Banner next week. Time to make a team. A 6 Saint-14 wearing Defender fireteam.

I'm in!

 

[figadapaura]

GET BACK HERE

 

[LTWood12]

Don't have the Skullfort so I'm excited for that. Any suggestions on weapon pairing?

FUCK YOU NONBELIEVERS. I know a bug when I see it.

when I saw the patch notes, I said huh, thats a thing. I guess I was always looking down a sniper scope so I never really notices it before. i just thuoght we didnt get it in time.

 

[figadapaura]

No, they eventually spawned. I have no idea what triggered it. We just assumed it was lag.

Well, they've updated the exotic AP drops. That's a start and leaves me with some hope.

Queen's Wrath was only once if I remember correctly while this is the third IB.

Huh. I had thought it had come back a second time. Was there another PvE event that had happened that maybe I am confusing it with?

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

Quick, must attempt flawless CE.

Need to do it before they patch in bugs fixes

 

[Twilight Gap]

[E92 M3]

Do it! It's fun!

 

[Forerunner]

Well I bought the Last Word, I don't have an exotic hand cannon and you guys mentioned it was good in pvp. Was going to get Skullfort, but I decided to save my coins. It's a cool looking helmet, but the perks are meh compared to something like Inmost Light.

 

[NoHeDidn't]

Didn't get an answer my Ghorn with maxed dmg would be 331after upgrades so no need to upgrade via Xur?

Never done an upgrade trade hence my noobiness.

 

[todd360]

Haha he called you Jeff. Someone else called you a jewel earlier so maybe your Jeff Jewels.

 

[phen0m24]

GET BACK HERE

This!

Yea, but the only reason they probably fixed the Exotic drops there was how frequently people bitched about it and it was probably an easy fix. Sucks that the Legendaries like VoC and FB weren't given the same treatment.

 

[DJ Lushious]

Don't have the Skullfort so I'm excited for that. Any suggestions on weapon pairing?

Is it really that good? I can see its special ability being useful in fistfights, but that's about it.

Yeah I was gone the only week xur offered the upgrade for Inmost Light, so I still just have the OG version of it. Normally rock the Glasshouse, but buying this for when I'm feeling Strikery.

 

[therealminime]

Didn't get an answer my Ghorn with maxed dmg would be 331after upgrades so no need to upgrade via Xur?

Never done an upgrade trade hence my noobiness.

Yeah 331 is the new max damage. If your exotic is already higher then 300 attack then you have the new level 32 version of it so no need to upgrade.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Quick, must attempt flawless CE.

Ugh. I am worried they will add new bugs too just like when they "fixed" cheese and bugs in VoG.

I can only assume VoG will remain with its bugs forever.

 

[Darryl M R]

Are people expecting IB to give CE raid level light for armor now?

 

[Deku Tree]

This weekend is going to be all about the resurrection of my Hunter.

I can't believe I'm going to start over again on a class that I already had maxed once.

My baby titan is now level 15. Gonna hit 20 today.

 

[figadapaura]

 

[LiK]

Skullfort is one of the shittiest exotic helms in the game but it looks cool.

I could post a clip for proof but i don't have time
