How did the Swordbreaker fair against the Deathsinger Knights? Can you clear the trash before going in?

I think the bolded is a bit of an overstatement. Obviously there are people happy about it, so it must have been pretty near the target.
Did your NAT settings get messed up?
That's a good thing. It only effects ghorn for some reason and there is a massive outcry of pissed off people. Xur then sells it to make it up to the people who lost there ghorns.

Baby steps. It's an evolution of a shitty system. It's better than what we had before so Im happy

Yea thus is absolutely awesome for me. I've wanted the ability to manage vault/guns remotely and I expected an "Orbit" vault management but being able to do it in the middle of the match and on your phone/tablet/laptop?! Amazing!
I always have my laptop and phone nearby for DGAF and Twitch and whatever else anyways and I'm sure most people have 1 with them for DGAF so it shouldn't do anything that's more work for most of us. Just open a new tab on your browser like all the other tabs.

No one I've ever spoken with in game or here said that online management is what they would want as the first option to do this.
Whatever.
I'm just continuing to be unimpressed by Bungie.
All opened and everything. Maybe I will try restarting the xbox. It's very weird.
access to and from the vault from the web app/mobile app has been a highly requested feature, right alongside access to the vault from Orbit. It may not be an addition you wanted personally, but it was a specifically requested one. Something people actually wanted, and not a Band-Aid. There are a number of use cases that have nothing to do with in-game inventory management that this is outstanding for. I just made a bunch of decisions about dupes, cleaned up vault space and totally redid my loadouts on all three characters, from the office. Now they'll be waiting for me when I get home and I'll be able to spend the time I'd have spent on that stuff, doing fun stuff.
Also, and I can't stress this enough, but using the app/site actually does one better than accessing your vault from Orbit would in the first place. With the app you can take an item from one character, put it in the vault, and retrieve it on the character you're currently using, literally in the middle of a firefight. Even being able to access your Vault in-game, at any time, from any screen, wouldn't provide this functionality because you only have access to the inventory of the character you're logged in on.

Ah, ok. Good to hear you can still shoot through some obstructions. It is a very useful perk for Crota fight. I hope they don't patch that out.
I will go as long as you are doing a fresh run. My 30 Titan just needs Abyss and Bridge, but I am cool to stay for Deathsinger and Crota.

I'm hoping that they're still working on more vault space and that they roll it out now rather than try to use it as an incentive to buy the next DLC.
Either that, or just give it to people who already own the season pass if that's what they're waiting for.

That's great for you. Not for me. I'm unimpressed and have been for months. Especially as a PvE exclusive player.

Pretty much what Hawkian said. It's really awesome. I'm about saving time and this does that. A ps4 controller can't do these things nearly as fast.

Are you intentionally being obtuse? I get that it isn't what you wanted but the app gives features beyond what could be done in game. At least an in game Vault Management system from the UI would not likely have the ability to transfer items from a different character to the one you are currently using mid mission. The app makes this possible.
I think this is incredibly useful.
No one laughed at my soul patrol joke 
Question, when moving something over to your character while playing, does a message show up at the bottom left of the screen like it does for loot drops, dismantling things, etc.?
Could be fun for making a dramatic entrance...

Well, ideally you could just do all that stuff in orbit and don't need to run to a phone or a computer.
But let's be real, since they have basically made it so that you can access any weapon at any time, why even have limited inventory space in the first place?
Damn now that's a team. Wish I was home.

Ugh. No.
I don't settle and am tought to impress. Sorry. I have high expectations and this usually happens when I express those feelings.
Equipped items are stuck in that character unless you do it in game? Appears so
Gotta disagree here. There are many of us who wanted this very exact thing. It sounds like you want them to just do away with the vault system altogether and just give all three characters a giant shared pool of inventory space that is accessible at any time, any where. That's not going to happen. What's funny is that so many people (like myself) wanted them to make our vault accessible on our ship, rather than needing to go down to the tower, and what they ultimately gave us is an even better solution!
At the same time, can't disagree with the fact that we have basically no new content at all since TBD. That's inexcusable, but that's a completely different topic
HM Swordbearer was too stressful for me
It gets better.
Absolutely not the case.
My old #1 was shooting Ogres through cover.
My new old #1 was shooting players through everything.
I use Black Hammer on Crota most of the time now so I don't know how AP behavior has been changed there yet. AP works fine for Valus cheese, but it's very inconsistent in PvP. That's my primary complaint. We don't have anything conclusive to go on. Hopefully the designers will answer some questions on this topic tomorrow. I can live with the change I just wish I knew exactly what was supposed to happen. Maybe I'm missing all my shots due to lag. I need to know.
One possibility is that AP no longer shoots through grates. It would explain the behavior on Twilight Gap and in the Deathsinger encounter. A fix for one thing may have unintentionally (or intentionally) mucked up other areas.
Well, there's this in the update:
"While Vaults just got easier to use, we know that theres still a lot of chatter out there about how your Vaults can still grow and improve in the future. We hear you, and well talk soon about other ways in which we can continue to update and improve the Destiny experience."
Now that could be Bungie for "Ha ha, take it and like it," but the optimist in me reads it as more vault space is coming... eventually.
Then again, let's talk about how long it took for Heavy Ammo to get (kind of) fixed.

Hahaha I actually did irl! I was busy trying to persuade Cosmos how awesome the app vault management is. It's better than anything anyone can come up with in game due to controller limitations.
Edit: I've watched everyone season of AI so it definitely pulled a LOL
Sounds good to me -- I sent you a friend request. Throw me an invite whenever you are looking to get started.
i admit I have no idea how to counter the notion of you being unimpressed. it's completely your prerogative. I was saying this wasn't a half-assed solution that no one asked for. it was a feature specifically and frequently requested by the community, and actually beats access to the vault from Orbit in terms of functionality.
Maybe a good angle to pursue from here would be, what is the solution you, yourself, want to the problem that this new feature solves?
I'm gonna go with gloriously. Sword knights, you stay just out of their sword-ing range and wait for them to go for a swipe, then shoot them in the face. Boomers, you can close the distance immediately and after the first shot they'll almost always immediately put their shield up. Then you stroll to the side, and indeed, shoot them in the face.

It's also better because each character has their own ship so it wouldn't make sense
I...
equip another item. Then the item you had previously equipped will be in your inventory. Then transfer to vault.

It takes an extra step but you can equip the offline character with a different item first, then transfer the desired item to Vault. Only takes a few extra seconds.

I'm sort of indifferent, because it doesn't solve my problem since my vault is full of exotics and unique weapons/Crota weapons. I should be able to keep one of each exotic and raid weapon at least, or what's the point of doing any of this loot stuff in the first place?
What this reminds me of is the momentary "euphoria" people had when they introduced marks for materials, which was a great quality of life patch. But people were only excited about it because they've been deprived for so long that there doesn't seem to be an acknowledgement of some of the bigger problems. Of course Deej has constantly said that they are aware of the vault space request, but I hope that this isn't their solution to that intrinsic problem with the game.

Sorry it is unintuitive to me because I am being forced to use an interface I've never used before.
I don't think so. I just tried it, and while I got the sparkly icon on the right side of the screen when I pulled my Hawkmoon from the vault, there was no chat message.
Then again, would I see it? Might have to test again later with someone else in the party.

Wait you're not forced to use it. You can still transfer stuff like before.

No. The new gameplay feature to alleviate vault management issues (excerpt for lack of space) can only be done via the companion app or via bungie.net in a web browser.

You know, at this point I wouldn't mind if they just hacked together a system. Like, say, each account gets 3 attempts at each raid drop/weekly event, but you can create as many characters as you want to use as mules. Then you use the app to move your crap around the mules and your primary characters, but you can't exploit the system to keep doing raids over and over again.
But I'm sure their saving the vault for some dry spell. It makes too much sense in a game where patch notes are the only significant updates to come between expansions.
Like he said, you're not forced to use it.
