Update coming shortly guardians…

Ok. I guess I'll do nightfall later.

Sat at Gorgon's HM if anybody wants to jump in and get the checkpoint, could always finish the raid from there if you want?

PSN: ManxWraith

Sent you FR

Thanks!

Sending you a FR now. I'm at work and don't have a mic here - so I won't be the most social visitor.

Coming!

 

[Homeboyd]

pretty sure he's right, technically. It started at 300, then it became weak in PvE after nerfs, so they balanced that by bumping it to 323, all before TDB came out.

No he said it began as a 323 weapon. It didn't.

 

[Blue Ninja]

nice!!!

Spoiler

not too loud, some folks who have been playing for a long friggin time haven't gotten that yet ^.^

Still waiting for mine. But once it drops, it'll be glorious.

No he said it began as a 323 weapon. It didn't.

You're right. I remember mine having 300 damage and then being surprised it got bumped up to 323 when I came back in March.

I hope it gets an upgrade come HoW.

 

[BuzzJive]

No he said it began as a 323 weapon. It didn't.

I don't remember it ever being 300, but I got it late in the process. So did that just update behind the scenes from a 300 to a 323 then? No additional anything needed?

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

The first exotic tuning patch updated it from 300 to 323 instantly before any weapon over 300 was even heard of.

When asked if it would ever be upgraded to 331 like the other exotics after Dark Below, Bungie said it was lost in the corners of time with the other VoG weapons. Obviously that stance has changed.

 

[Homeboyd]

I don't remember it ever being 300, but I got it late in the process. So did that just update behind the scenes from a 300 to a 323 then? No additional anything needed?

Yep it was bumped to the upgraded version for everyone who had one.. no additional leveling or anything needed. It didn't max your weapon for you if yours wasn't maxed, but upped the cap to 323 without you doing anything. If you had yours maxed at 300, once you logged in after the patch, it automatically was at 323, maxed.

 

[Blue Ninja]

So you see, kids, it's possible for Bungie to level our other exotics in a way that doesn't require us to grind.

They just don't want to.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Excited for the patch!
Hope i dont lose anything in the vault

Shard week...thanks for the check.

If anyone else needs the checkpoint I'll be on for a bit.

Thank you kind sir.

So do people have to get spawned in to get the checkpoint? Like if I sit there with it running in the background for a bit, will they get the checkpoint as a dead fireteam member, or do I have to be on call to wipe and do a respawn?

 

[A_Gorilla]

Just got in-game notice that update is coming soon. Gonna wait until after to do my last Nightfall.

 

[Gala]

Nice that random dude kicked me in order to I invite his friend after I restarted my router.

Guess I'm looking for a new Crota NM group...

 

[vctor182]

OT20 is getting here sooner than expected! BB honeymoon is over, back to your regular patrol and raid guardians!
I really need to work on my Titan, still level 7 with awesome armor waiting for him. Man I wish we could edit our characters, for like 50 SC or even 100, I wouldn't mind.

 

[Simonnnnn]

Got four in a fireteam on Vault HM at Gorgon's CP if anybody is interested in helping us finish?

PSN ManxWraith if anybody is interested?

Xbox Nightfall or Raids, anyone? PS4 version seems to be on fire tonight and the Xbox is a ghost town

 

[TearsOfBlood]

Looking to do NF x3 in 20-30 minutes.
Robinson and me will be there, need 1 more.

 

[rasengan1337]

in order to save the CP, the player needs to be present while the whole FT wipes.

 

[rasengan1337]

Nice that random dude kicked me in order to I invite his friend after I restarted my router.

yeah, that's partly the reason why i only raid with GAF players.

edit: argh! double post again. sorry!

Yeah, I'm waiting for the patch to drop before I hit anything.

So here's an idea that I think would be good, it just depends a lot on how they are handling legndary upgrades, but it would make the gunsmith more functional. Give him the ability to perform the legendary upgrades (this I would think what he will do) but also give him a daily random selection of old vendor weapons at the new 365 damage. Even if it's just one of each type a day, it would make checking him out a daily event, but also give some new (and old) players more diversity in weapon selection. Maybe you tie in the commendations to the cost somehow too so that they aren't useless like they are now.

Fixed a bug where Major Thralls had two jaws and two left hands[/url]

I wanna see a picture of this!

Sounds like the Crota fight just got a hell of a lot easier. 30 second swords and Crota not attacking halfway through his standing motion.

 

[gspec]

what the fuck is that?

default 56 ammo magazine? accelerated coils?

The original Vex before bungie nerfed it.

 

[Homeboyd]

•White Nail perk no longer triggers on immune targets



Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

•Fixed a bug where Heavy Ammo consumables were not available for purchase from Xûr



Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[Carn82]

downloading patch. 6gb, thats big. So I guess this also contains the most of all the HoW content.

 

[captscience]

Too bad White Nail will no longer proc on immune targets. Yet still no fix for the Hive perk?

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Kind of a large update.

 

[Lnkn52]

Holy fucking shit it took them THIS long to fix the fact that weapons were not getting mission XP?

FFS Bungie...

This is a very bery big patch. over 4 gbs.

6.056 gbs on PS4

 

[Jinjo]

Holy shit, heavy ammo at Xur being random was a bug?!?!

I can't deal with this world anymore.

Also, fucking 6 gig patch, wait what?!

blessed Bungie.

 

[Carn82]

Also, fucking 6 gig patch, wait what?!

It's all the House of Wolves content, including a 80mb patch That, or they had to rebuild a big part of the game client to accomodate all the fixes.

 

[Gala]

6GB? There goes my evening with Destiny. Th download is super slow for me right now. Guess I'm gonna go to bed early today.

 

[Jinjo]

HoW missing a raid is a bug too…

Lol. Never change DGAF.

Raid fixes are good btw. Except you know, they're like 4 months late.

No Destiny for me tonight with the patch being 6 gigs. Shame, was looking forward for a night with the old dgaf crew.

 

[Defuser]

Fuck, they nerf Black Hammer although it's not big of a deal.
lol they nerf the psion flayers bosses? They're already a piece of cake with shotguns but now can they be steamrolled even more easily.

Did first crota with younger brother who's at around 150 hours and he gets it.

I need his rng game

Shit, 6 gigs. I knew I should've left my PS4 on standby before work this morning.

 

[ChanDangle]

Aaaaand they didn't fix the Black Garden strike. (Returns to orbit)

 

[Jinjo]

Fuck, they nerf Black Hammer although it's not big of a deal.
lol they nerf the psion flayers bosses? They're already a piece of cake with shotguns but now can they be steamrolled even more easily.

Is it really a nerf though? The walker tanks and the tank aren't "immune" targets. Neither is Sepiks. They all take damage from Black Hammer.
