Wait so we are raiding today and podcasting tomorrow?

Could we do both? Deathsinger won't take long.

 

[silver.tongue]

I have a post-bridge checkpoint on my Titan.

Are you online now?

If so, lets test this.

 

[Darryl M R]

Will reroll that Iron Banner rocket launcher until I get a larger magazine and tracking. Highest impact RL.

What does it cost to reroll a weapon. I love my Hunger of Crota but I would love tracking + early

 

[dB Viper]

Also I can confirm that the first chest will give you mats if you've done it prior.

Nice. Looks like 3x for me tonight

 

[Deku Tree]

I had dibs! lol

Let me know how it goes.

Oh I'm sorry. I wasn't the party leader and I think they made another group.

 

[Hawkian]

Okay: http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Hot-Fix---01122015/en/News/News?aid=12485

Activity Rewards
Fixed an issue with Ascendant Materials no longer being a possible reward for Daily gold-tier public events (Public Event Dailies are apparently rewarding Radiant materials, for the moment)
In addition to other potential rewards, Weekly Nightfall Strikes can now award 9 or more Strange Coins

PVP
Maps
Added to the rotation for Control, Clash, and Iron Banner* playlists:
The Anomaly
Asylum
The Burning Shrine

Iron Banner*

Playlist weapon drops
Level 32 Sniper Rifle
Level 32 Auto Rifle
Gain event standing to earn Legendary gear
Level 32 Hand Cannon
Level 32 Rocket Launcher
Level 32 Gauntlets
Level 31 Chest

Weapons
On the Sniper Rifle, Black Hammer, the Hive Breaker upgrade has been disabled until it is fixed to play nicely with the White Nail upgrade

Raids
Vault of Glass
Exotic weapon drops (though still very infrequent) are now Level 32

Crota’s End
Rewards
Treasure chests now contain Radiant Materials
The existing Pit treasure chest reward has moved to killing Ir Yut, the Deathsinger

Pit Encounter
Pillars of Light no longer launch players into the air when they explode

Bridge Encounter
Players will now be required to cross the bridge in order to complete the bridge encounter
Players will now be required to wait for the bridge to be completed prior to crossing with the sword

Deathsinger Encounter
Fixed a rare case where the Shriekers would not spawn, preventing players from reaching the Deathsinger
The Deathsinger now has a chance to drop Exotic weapons and armor, class pieces, and Radiant materials

Crota Encounter
Two Swordbearers will no longer spawn at the same time at the outset of the encounter
Crota will now recover from his kneeling state after a player quits
Fixed a bug that allowed players to remove the “Presence of Crota” using a Radiance Warlock’s Fireborn ability
Fixed a bug that made the Oversoul appear destroyed to some players in a Fireteam when it was actually still active

Bolds are added by me, for notable points. Looks like the standouts for purchase from IB this time are Timur's Lash and the RL at 331, and 36 Light gloves.

 

[EL CUCO]

Do you know how much the armor cost? And are the perks always the same? It looks like last IB it was increase reload speed for auto rifles.

Previously, IB Gauntlets/Boots cost 9950 glimmer.

Weapons would cost 11,500 IIRC.

 

[phen0m24]

I can confirm that the first chest will give you mats if you've done it prior.

This is an interesting development.

 

[Sullichin]

Will reroll that Iron Banner rocket launcher until I get a larger magazine and tracking. Highest impact RL.

Edit: Those Gafers that know me, know I'll be playing a lot of Iron Banner. If anyone wants to play also (I often have groups going) add me - Rubenov25

Where can you see the new weapons?

 

[zewone]

Don't sleep on proximity explosions. Find it more useful than tracking.

 

[captscience]

Yep. Can confirm that you get new raid mats from public events.

Nice! Time to start doing those again.

Now they should include radiant mats to to the Daily awards. At least when it's a DLC mission.

 

[DJ Lushious]

Why did we skip Deathsinger?

1) No loot

2) Hardest part of CE

3) Adds give zero XP/Glimmer

Bungie gave us a reason to do it again

The weekly group I run in with (R0ckman, ArkkAngel007, lazybones18) always do it every week. It's just such a simple part, I guess we've never actually talked about skipping it before. Ha!

 

[figadapaura]

Are you online now?

If so, lets test this.

In about 15 mins I can be.

 

[Darknyss09]

I have a Deathsinger CP and am willing to test it out now. PSN is Darknyss.

At the CP waiting for more. Just add me or join.

 

[Namikaze1]

In about 15 mins I can be.

Joining!

 

[LiK]

First two parts and Crota himself was so short and easy that just thinking of doing Deathsinger was a chore, lol

 

[DJ Lushious]

I'm getting real sick of this fucking hospital.

Oh no! What happened? I hope everything is okay!

 

[EL CUCO]

What does it cost to reroll a weapon. I love my Hunger of Crota but I would love tracking + early

2 motes.

 

[E92 M3]

I can confirm that the first chest will give you mats if you've done it prior.

Awesome! That is great to hear.

 

[blackflag]

Hopefully tracking is a possibility.

 

[Mindlog]

ET Phone Home. Go get my mats!
Damned remote play activate.

 

[noomi]

Yup we are full sorry.

Really curious about if you guys get loot, this could be awesome Let us know when you beat it

 

[PachinkoChampBruh]

I find it hilarious how we all avoided this part before, but now we want checkpoints. xD

lol full circle

 

[MandrakeUK]

Glad you guys got it Couldnt help much and just started getting salty at my mistakes near the end D:

Appreciated all your effort in any case man, you totally owned the first parts.

 

[Hawkian]

If the first chest is reloaded on top of the unexpected turn with public events, that's enough of a bonus for me, won't be too disappointed if pre-reset Deathsinger is a bust.

 

[silver.tongue]

In about 15 mins I can be.

Joining!

I'm in if you guys have a spot.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Wait so I have to learn how to play the Crota raid legit now?

That's just great. I have no idea what to do. I only know how to beat it beginning to end with cheese.

 

[LordofPwn]

2 motes.

sweet i can do 40 if i need it.

 

[Namikaze1]

Looks like I'll have to go first chest hunting again.

 

[Karl2177]

It says reward for the Pit treasure chest is moved to Deathsinger. Is there still going to be a chest in the Pit?

 

[Conscience Falls]

Got some radiant shards from the daily, feels good!
So, if the update I just grabbed means that the changes are now in place and I have the chests for Crota's end/have killed the Deathsinger does that mean I can still go back and get rewards for killing it again?

 

[LiK]

It says reward for the Pit treasure chest is moved to Deathsinger. Is there still going to be a chest in the Pit?

Yea, probably just rad mats now.

 

[CLBridges]

It says reward for the Pit treasure chest is moved to Deathsinger. Is there still going to be a chest in the Pit?

Yeah, but it only gives radiant materials now, nothing else.

 

[Johan Liebert]

It says reward for the Pit treasure chest is moved to Deathsinger. Is there still going to be a chest in the Pit?

yup and you can get radiant mats from it. you can actually get mats right now even if you looted the chest earlier. I just got energy from it.

 

[Deku Tree]

Didn't work. Lulz.

 

[Hawkian]

lol threadsplosion. >100 posts in the last 18 minutes.

 

[ethomaz]

I did the Daily today and got Ascendent Shards

 

[blackflag]

Radiant a from daily too? Awwwww yes I'll get my 3rd character to 32 this week.

 

[figadapaura]

Wait so I have to learn how to play the Crota raid legit now?

That's just great. I have no idea what to do. I only know how to beat it beginning to end with cheese.

No one to blame but yourself.

 

[MandrakeUK]

Any fresh Crota raids going on?

Dont mind giving it a go non cheese

 

[Darryl M R]

Just killed Deathsinger after beating Crota prior. No loot.

 

[Hawkian]

Wait, daily as in the Daily Heroic Story? Or the Public Event mail?

 

[EL CUCO]

Didn't work. Lulz.

Lol thanks for confirming.

 

[Ourobolus]

No drops. I assume it's because we all got the first raid chest.

 

[figadapaura]

Didn't work. Lulz.

Had you completed it before?

 

[silver.tongue]

Just killed Deathsinger after beating Crota prior. No loot.

Did you beat her before the patch?

 

[Conscience Falls]

I did the Daily today and got Ascendent Shards

That's the best possible outcome!!

 

[Bogeypop]

http://www.twitch.tv/boogiepop/c/5865657

The "Exotic" Engrams drop happens at around 1:09

The disappointment when I don't see them in my inventory happens at 4:53

When I realize it was actually the Decoherent Engrams in my inventory that were the false "Exotic" Engrams I quickly decrypt and salvage them at 6:19

A lot of downtime in the video because I was posting on GAF D:

 

[LordofPwn]

Hawkian, prepare OT15. thread is quickly approaching plaid.

 

[brianjones]

can confirm the first crota chest re-drops materials
