2. EJRobinson
3. HigXx
4. caine-chi / Deadly_Tacoz (I think this means you're bringing a friend NakedRescue?)
5. Ambitious (PSN?)

Just grabbing some dinner, will start sending out invites in the next 20 or 30 minutes!



Damn, too bad! Always a pleasure running some Crota with you!

PSN is ps_flocki; I just sent you a FR.
I don't know if I can do all three runs, I just got an annoying headache. I hope it doesn't get worse.
 
Red Death is your god now.

F5-ing like a mad man on Bungie's website right now, even if I know they will up the patch notes as soon as I leave work...

That's crazy! D: I have to try it later today. So you can even go in solo? No need of other to go in normally to start the fight?

Yes, you can go in solo, although as I said earlier, you need to be careful once you glitch through, because you can still die by falling off the world. Valus' phalanxes can even still hit you sometimes if you attack from the wrong spot. (They managed to take down my shields at one point when I wasn't paying attention.)

Otherwise, yeah, if you have Ice Breaker or a ton of synths and an ArPen Sniper, it's totally soloable. You can see the two mobs in Valus' room, and once you kill them, Valus himself comes out.
 
No, but my only "fear" is that they noticed it way earlier than us and anticipated the LDR thing.
They will surely patch it, and I agree with them patching it, but I would really love to at least use it once this week, just for the fun of it. :3


Apparently it works solo, yep!
Can't wait to try tonight, if it's not patched yet.
*fingers crossed*

Way too much credit there. These are things that are only found out when millions of players with different agendas and weapon loadouts mess around in the world. There are tons of ways to get out of the maps. It's just a matter of figuring out which are actually advantageous.

Anyone want to rip through a quick nightfall?

1) Me, GKW212
2)
3)

Need to start ASAP because I'm on lunch break. The quest for the Horn is getting really sick. I need help... I'll look into it after this NF.

On lunch too, no mic or sound. Already friends, hopping on now.

I agree, there's really no reason they would have patched this already.
Still, I can't refrain this little fear in me that they did, and that I will have missed that glorious revenge on spongebob for a matter of only a few hours. :3

Here's a challenge. Set aside your own personal wishes for Destiny, and list the topics you see discussed here most often. Not bugs, mind you. We know Crota drops the sword. At this moment, I'm more curious about the new features people tend to ask for.

List the Top Three Wishes that are shared by most of the Community.

Now, if you say that all three are bigger vaults, I'll probably assume you're not serious about helping. Give me three different options. You should rank them in importance, of course.

Have fun with it. Off the top of your head...

Thanks!

What are your three top wishes DGAF?

Ah, I see. The death of the 2 mobs in the room triggers the fight. It all makes sense now. I will try it after work. :)

1. Modifiers in daily challenges. Option to add modifiers to Roc strikes. Increase difficulty leads to higher chance of legendary/exotic drops.
2. Wider variety of bounties that change more often than repeat.
3.Exotics with variable elements. Either perks and/or scopes. How exotic is a gun that has the exact same stats as every other version? Even legendary have more variety.

°Decreased over-penetration value for weapons with armor piercing perks

This the Valus cheese fix? No more shooting through walls?
 

In terms of new features that are actually realistic?

1. LFG board next to bounty board for help with building raid teams, etc.

2. Lots of new bounties for vanguard, crucible, eris, iron banner, and factions, as well as new Patrols and Public events.

3. Gunsmith revamp: use shards or motes for weapon rerolling, gear rerolling. Use shards for raid weapon upgrading, gear upgrading.

Guardians not dropping a reduced amount of heavy is very peculiar change. Also, I am curious to see how nerfed shotties. were.
 
* Decreased over-penetration value for weapons with armor piercing perks

Curious what this means exactly. Damage decrease? Less penetrable walls for sniper rifles?

* Guardians no longer drop heavy ammunition when killed in PvP

Holy shit. This is kind of a big change. Wonder what prompted that change.

* "Focused Aggression" Bounty can now be completed with headshots from Pulse Rifles, Scout Rifles, and Hand Cannons

Thank fucking god. Too bad they couldn't have gotten that out last week though.

What? Why? Jesus.

It's probably my sensitive ego talking lol, but I actually approve of that change. There's nothing worse than picking up heavy ammo and then being killed before you can even use it, and then watching the guy who killed you pick it up from your body. Fuck that shit.

Hahahahahahaha!

Even less maps in IB rotation! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Enjoy Blind Eaych, folks! Hahaahahahahahaha!

Also, the fuck is up with taking out heavy drops from players killed in PvP?! How the fuck will I feed my Gjallarhorn?!

Feed it with love. Think of it as a Robin.

really curious what they mean by this. probably has to do with that dude datamining
