haha you know me, I'd definitely sign back on for Flawless VoG attempt(s).

Anyone else interested? Disclaimer: if you want the trophy, CE is a much better place to get it. This would mainly be just for a fun challenge.

Me me me me me!

When when when when?!

 

[brianjones]

But its a "Legendary" that offers the perk. Pretty big deal when you think of the trade offs vs exotic slots taken.

its exotic

i mean.. look at it!

 

[rasengan1337]

I would wait til you get a PoE class item to turn those in if you know what I mean...

that is a GREAT idea!

Anyone have gorgon hm checkpoint?

As I posted it, I cringed. Looked it up, and of course, its as you say.
Thought I saw it somewhere as a legendary. Was probably some other face looking helmet.

Prob won't work but you could use them to rank up a new faction you've been ignoring

Yeah I don't think they'd rehash a perk for a helmet.

So this is possibly a stupid question, but is there any reason to upgrade any exotics with Xur until HoW comes out?

Well I'll be using this in-game so why not make it an avatar?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Nope. It'd be a waste of glimmer and you'd have to upgrade again.

No reason at all, like Breezy said. People that skipped TDB completely are the real winners /s (mostly).

 

[Orthogonal]

Mostly true, outside a few really good CE weapons.

The unspoken implication is we could do the same for HoW and just come back for Comet.

 

[Darknyss09]

The HoW gear looks so good I don't even want to bother upgrading my old stuff. I want that new hotness!

 

[GutZ31]

This is mostly true.

Late night to me is around 11pm eastern. If my wife falls asleep earlier, even better.

Can't make it this time either but I'll be watching if there's a stream?

 

[DrDrizzay101]

edit: ^ damn, too bad you can't make it ms! But I could definitely stream it if we manage to get a team going.

Me me me me me!

No idea what time it might happen, but that'd be 4 of us if we could all make it. I don't think Hudson or myself could do it until later tonight, but not positive exactly when. I'm EST, what time zones/times would work for people?

edit: Hudson said ~11pm EST which would also be good for me.

 

[Zoidberg]

With upgrading exotics in HoW, did anyone see if the upgrade is available at any point or do you need to unlock and upgrade the last bubble first? Just wondering if I should bother upgrading anymore exotic weapons (still have 3 to go), or hold off.

 

[Kalamari]

Don't bother upgrading till HoW hits.

9th Thunderlord (third this week) and 7th Vex still no Gally. It's starting to get ridiculous.

It'll upgrade your item instantly. Dunno if it'll stay where you're at when upgrading, but I know you don't have to relevel any maxed out items. Before I took my break, I maxed out almost everything I had in anticipation for this.

From what I understood in the stream, you must unlock all bubbles before using the final etheral light bubble.

So leveling up your weapons now might be a good idea.

DON'T USE XUR FOR DAMAGE UPGRADES ON EXOTICS

Hmm. I could still make it but I won't be able to chat since I don't want to disturb my roommate. I'll have my gold headset on to hear you guys chat.

I'm EST as well.

Didn't he have all the bubbles unlocked though, just not filled in?

 

[Orthogonal]

Didn't he have all the bubbles unlocked though, just not filled in?

Yes, so still not clear.

 

[silver.tongue]

Took one of the pics as avatar... Hope it's not already taken.

 

[Zoidberg]

Just re-watched the ascension bit, every weapon they ascended was fully levelled with all bubbles purchased. Although the gally didn't have all bubbles purchased, just unlocked, and the ascend option was there. So yeah, still unclear as to exact requirements. I'd say they would need to at least have the last bubble unlocked.

Edit: So further along the video they showed armor (hezen gloves) having the ascend option when the piece didn't have all bubbles unlocked. They didn't ascend it of course....

 

[Daemul]

Hopefully they've changed that, those perks were data mined and could have been placeholders. They showed yesterday that there are new perks we haven't seen on new weapons, I doubt they would release new exotic armor with rehashed perks. I hope this is true because I need that helmet on my body at all times.

The perk the helm has is not rehashed, it gives you the option to run both the Unstoppable and Shoulder Charge perks at the same time, something which you cannot do at the moment. The problem comes from having to sacrifice being able to run Headstrong+Aftershocks/Infusion and Death from Above+Aftermath/Shockwave, something which is provided by the Helm of Inmost Light, which is why I called the Eternal Warrior a poor man's version of it, not because they overlap in perks, but because for Strikers Helm of Inmost Light is flat out more useful.

Also if there's one thing that won't be changed from the datamine, is the perks for the exotics, that shit is set in stone due to the unique nature of each exotic piece. There is a very limited amount of perks that Bungie can give them since they have to build each exotic piece around a specific subclass and ensure that their perks don't overlap with previous exotics for that subclass.

The problem with this is that some exotics will flat out be better than others since some exotics will give you more useful perks than other other ones, we already saw this with the The Helm of Saint 14 and The Glasshouse in the last expansion. Saint 14 is just the flat out better Defender Titan helmet, even though The Glasshouse provides perks which Saint 14 does not.

The upside of all this is due to Bungie wanting to keep each exotic viable and unique, we will never see any new exotic piece which will outright render numerous pieces of exotic gear obselete, e.g. there will never be a Titan exotic helm which gives you the perks of both the Helm of Saint 14 AND The Glasshouse, not until Destiny 2 at least.

If only there was trading. Thunderlord and vex are the last two exotics I need. And I would happily give one of my Horns.

Nah. Their goal is to reduce the grind. Making you unlock all bubbles is not reducing the grind. Nor is it consistent with the leveling principles of the new HoW weapons.

Boots don't drop from DS or Crota. Gotta do the first two parts.

I'll post if I'm on earlier. 9 would be the earliest if we can't find anything to watch on tv. I'm giving her a lot of "don't starve" time right now. That may count for something.

When he showed armor it had the option despite not being leveled. So it looks like they are indeed reducing the grind for ascending stuff!
