I'm thinking the patch contains 100% of HoW. I expect data mines to come out in the next week.

If PSN is showing a 6gb download then the previous patches were about 2.5gb so that leaves a 3.5gb patch.

Megaton right there.

This is nice too:
Players can now click the left stick to hide the UI when inspecting items, for screenshotting/sharing purposes

And this, hopefully it means you can enter rest mode with the game still running, but it just boots you to the main menu like it does if you suspend the game while the system is still on:

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.

Yeah but shooting the tank legs while it opens it's "brain hatch" keeps the white nail going, even if they are immune. Not a big deal though.

No it's a legit 6 gig download. Previously it would start the download halfway if it just added to the existing patch data. This is an entire new patch of 6 gigs. Definitely has HoW data on it, no doubt. Now figure out what the fuck the prison of elders is dataminers.

If you hit the leg when the neck is out it shows immune. Hit it to avoid loosing wn while you wait for the neck animation

holy shit they fixed the splash damage going into the shield in VoG. I've died so many times because of that, nice!

In the next week? I think you meant to say by the end of the day. The dataminers are fast at this shit.

Lol. So you just gotta stop shooting for a sec, maybe reload your gun? Bungie why.

Gotta give the intern something to do man.

No raid in HoW, but we have a new ball. Just great.

The whole point of the gun is to keep hitting crits and instantly reload WITHOUT losing ammo. If you manually reload, you lose ammo. But like I said.. not a big deal.

So they made white nail not work on immune targets, but they can't get the perk for extra damage against hive ultras to work... wth!

I know the point of the gun. It's such an unnecessary change in my opinion. You lose maybe one or two bullets, if even.

Now this. This is what they should have fixed instead.

Anybody care to elaborate what is this fix about? No longer we will see fast swipes from Crota or what?
Click to expand...

Supposedly. No insta-swipes/standing up the second he gets his shield back. Should reduce latency bullshit deaths by a whole lot.

Well Crota will be far easier now after those patches:


  • Crota will now wait until fully standing before a sword attack
  • Fixed a bug where the sword immediately despawned after killing a swordbearer
  • Swords will now last a full 30 seconds after being picked up

How long did the sword last previously when you picked it up?

I just sherpa'd a group through VoG. Someone on his first raid got Gjallarhorn from Gorgon chest then Ice Breaker from Atheon.

My PS4 is on Standby.
I hope it is downloading the patch.
Destiny patches never download for some reason when my PS4 is on standby... It always waits until I open the Destiny app.

well it will be nice to have the sword timer go off after it's picked up and not dropped. :)

I'm pretty happy with the raid fixes.

I had to remote play it and force an update to the app for download to start.

The shotgun ridiculousness already made that part of the strike kind of stupid. Don't know how well this will work out.

Vault of Glass - Good.
Crota's End - Good.
PVP Ammunition - Interesting.
Heavy Ammo Notification - Ehhh. Too early to tell, but it seems like dumbing down situational awareness.

Better than nothing.

How can they fix this and yet we still have no fix for the Hive Bonus Damage perk that the Black Hammer and Word of Crota should have... It's not like they don't know about the problem or it's been a recent development, this has been a issue almost since the new Raid first came out and still no solution other than lets disable it. :(

Less special ammo in Crucible, vault space, raid fixes.. sounds good! Now just finally give me a Gjallarhorn so I actually have something new to chase when HOW comes out.
