Well hey now, that's some good stuff. 20 extra weapon slots of course, will make a lot of difference in how I look at my vault. The raid fixes are nice, and sounds like they went with a shotgun approach to some of the Crota lag/glitch deaths. The tweak to the sword timer is a hearty buff to swordbearers. Definitely ready to carve him up. I'm surprised the whole splash damage in the Aegis bubble was even fixable frankly, I was just warning newbies about that last week. All the PvP changes look good to me, and they even included a little love letter:

Pocket Infinity behavior is less likely to fail during edge case conditions

And GW2 is demoing a new mode today too, sweet. Might be a Smash night with my friend though. I'll just be over here in my happy-go-lucky gaming bubble

 

[patchday]

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.

say what? Cant find this in patch notes [edit] found


Mortal Kombat X released today. probably wont have time to play Destiny but I'll d/l the patch at least

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?!

yeah thats news to me too!!!

 

[EJRobinson90]

The patch either refuses to download, or I get 99+ hours download speed. Anyone else having this problem? Wired connection.

I'm on a wired connection too and it is crawling.

Same problem, wired connection. It now completely jumps around between 99+ hours, 69 min and 26 min

 

[Kalamari]

Destiny is saved.

Worth the price of the Season Pass alone. I would even pay $60 for a Purple Ball competitive mode, Activision, make it happen!!

I jest.

 

[Carn82]

it's fluctuating a lot for me, going from 3 hours to 20 minutes and back.

 

[Ghazi]

Wow, they nerfed the icebreaker ammo thing. That is so stupid.

 

[BuzzJive]

Mine started at 1 hour, then jumped to 6 hours, now it's back to 1.5. PS4 servers are not great - that's for sure. My desk neighbor took like 15 minutes on his X1.

 

[patchday]

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

Ah I've never exploited that one. Okay good not nerfed too me. Too bad they didnt fix the other raid perk though I dont understand that

 

[vctor182]

Wow, they nerfed the icebreaker ammo thing. That is so stupid.

Not the heavy ammo glitch, only that if you die the IB ammo starts at 0 when you respawn, right??

 

[Blue Ninja]

Shit, my Xbone downloaded the first 50% in five minutes and now it's been stuck on 51% for another five.

 

[squidhands]

I didn't even realize the splash damage thing was a bug, nice.

What the hell is the Pocket Infinity thing about? "Edge case conditions"??

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

does the 6GB come with a new raid.

Spoiler

Sorry Gaf i had to lol JK

 

[Ridli]

Stuck at work. Has Iron Banner gear been discovered/announced?

 

[BokehKing]

Wow, they nerfed the icebreaker ammo thing. That is so stupid.

Cause of special ammo in pvp or?

 

[waters10]

Lol, the day I finally get a character to Crota's Bane lvl 4. :lol

I hope this patch helps with my connection problems. Probably won't.

Yeah. I got level 4 over the weekend ... That was one of the worst grinds. Waiting for the Blades of Crota to spawn was such a pain!

 

[RetroMG]

Stuck at work. Has Iron Banner gear been discovered/announced?

So far Iron Banner hasn't started. Folks on Reddit were speculating that it either got pushed back, or they were waiting for the patch to drop before starting it.

 

[Feorax]

Yeah. I got level 4 over the weekend ... That was one of the worst grinds. Waiting for the Blades of Crota to spawn was such a pain!

Why not just re-run the first TDB mission? That blade of crota near the start counts towards the bounty.

 

[Falchion]

Wow that's a huge update, hopefully my One is downloading it right now so that I can do the weekly stuff tonight.

 

[Shito]

Ha, I thought you guys talking about a 6Go had forgotten how patching works on PS4 again, but it *is* indeed a new 6Go patch!
That means it probably contains the majority of the HoW data: can't wait for more data mining! ^^

Those patch notes are quite cool, apart from that White Nail pesky fix: I don't really know why they felt the need to change that.
Quite excited about the purple ball change (yes...), and the precision kills stat that should AT LAST be fixed.

 

[Ghazi]

Yeah, you no longer retain ammo over respawns. Very dumb, at least make it retain ammo in PvE

 

[LTWood12]

The advisors tab on my bungie.net profile 'Iron Banner-Limited Time Event'

 

[GhaleonEB]

Holy shit. Now that's an update. 0_o

In particular:

The purple ball has been reborn in the tower as an interactive sphere with a parallaxed energy core that grows with object velocity and tints based off time of day

Fixed a bug where player’s equipped items did not receive experience from completing missions

Strikes
Cereberus Vae III
Valus Ta'Aruc's strength has been reduced by 33%
Reduced the number of Major combatants in the Valus Ta'Aurc fight
Dust Palace
Dust Palace: Reduced the number of Major combatants in the Psion Flayer fight
Dust Palace: Lowered the strength on the Psion Flayers' shields

So weapons will get XP from the daily missions now? Finally?

The ball update is amazing. :lol

 

[The Lamonster]

Is this a title update or in-game update?

Just curious if my PS4 is going to tackle this in rest mode before I get home...

 

[Robdraggoo]

Feels like christmas, cant wait to run ce and find a whole new set of glitches

 

[Homeboyd]

Oddone may be pleasantly suprised by reddit dataminers most recent efforts...

Title update, like it was for TDB.

Odd, because my ib always started at zero after death

 

[Blue Ninja]

Tell me more

EDIT: NVM, just found it. I hope he gets lucky, but the dataminers are just grasping at straws at this point.

 

[ich00]

Looking on the app I have an available Reef Bounty: For Her Honor. Win 3 crucible matches with the Queen's Class, Emblem and Shader items equipped. Anyone else see this? Glitch maybe?

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

Update is taking forever to download.

Reminding me of Metal Gear Online patch.

Timer just keeps going up, what the fuck...

 

[Homeboyd]

Spoilers for those who don't want to know strike info for next week/xur stock. Seems they're having trouble accessing info beyond next week, but there it is.

Was just about to post this.

 

[GhaleonEB]

from their twitter

Someone at Bungie really loves the ball. That person needs a hug. This is amazing. :lol

 

[Shito]

For people on PS4, if your download starts crawling to a stop, pause it and resume it.

megamanexe said that yesterday or maybe earlier. Bungie is changing their system to prevent all of the predictions, and to be unpredictable.

 

[Waldini]

I feel like I am downloading 4,5 terabyte.... Jesus

Not working for me. I'm on LAN and I'm having to restart the console. ..

 

[The Lamonster]

What is a UI flyout and how would it be easier to navigate?

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

99+ hours left.

SMH. What the fuck is this shit?

I downloaded the whole game in 25 minutes!

[MandrakeUK]

I just got home to find out there is no Raid in HOW... WTFFFFF BUNGIE.

I guess they want us to pay for that cut content too and will probs just put it into Comet.

No this is megamans post from yesterday (did not include same inventory which is why I said oddone may enjoy the most recent efforts, aka the post I posted before):

[amar212]

No.more Iron Banner banner under Advisor.

I'm glad too, it's lame when everything just gets datamined ahead of time

 

[LTWood12]

Yep just disappeared for me too.

 

[border]

What exactly were people abusing with White Nail?

 

[Blue Ninja]

I think I'm in. Let's go kick that ball around.

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

Seriously, anybody else on PS4 flat out not being able to download this thing?

 

[Ghazi]

What exactly were people abusing with White Nail?

Using the devil walker as an example, when you blew his cover off, you could shoot the legs, which were immune, and it would continue the white nail chain.

Disappointed they did this without fixing disruptor.
