Queen's Wrath bounties are tough. Events happen similarly to blades of Crota, you get a 'The Wolves are on the Prowl' or something-like message. A ship appears with two Scorch Captains. Kill them and the game tells you 'The Wolves are Frenzied'. Dropships keep dropping guys off until Wolf Baroness shows up, and she can take one hell of a beating.

Gonna try the others out next.

I got the first message and then I waited around and didn't get the ship or anything... Maybe I was not close enough to the forgotten shore one...

Anyone find the chest you need to open while the Ether Key timer is active?

What?

 

[hydruxo]

What is the "Year 1" stuff about?


not really sure what this line means

Destiny vanilla is Year 1. Comet is the start of Year 2. Destiny 2 is the start of Year 3.

When does Nick Fury recruit Xur?

 

[rNilla]

New content hype!

 

[Garrett Hawke]

So it said "a pack of wolves is prowling" while I was on patrol but I can't find them LMAO

 

[Toa TAK]

When does Nick Fury recruit Xur?

Think you're the only merchant in this world?

My daughter doesn't like doing stuff like bounties solo, hopefully she can buddy up later to run them.

I was hoping to exchange shards for energies and thus upgrade a ton of weapons that are unlocked, but for which I ran out of ascendant energy, but alas. The speaker is not actually doing exchanges yet.

 

[Impala26]

So the only place to get ascendants now is VoG and dismantling old stuff? And the only place to get radiants is the CE raid? Seems like it.

Wait, what about daily mission and public events (and public event reward packages)?

Were these changed?

 

[Twilight Gap]

patch notes are nice but i'm not seeing the hype aside from the speaker stuff.

 

[LTWood12]

do you dismantle the commendations for rep?

 

[ethomaz]

Year 1 is Destiny + DLC 1 + DLC 2

Year 2 is Comet + DLC 4 + DLC 5

Ah shit so was I

 

[stb]

I'd be down for two weeklies - wasn't planning to do them but grab me if I'm on.

Yeah, sounds good. I was thinking of going to see Mad Max tonight but I'm going to wait until tomorrow sometime.

Sounds like a plan.

schwagger, do you only need the weeklies? i.e. you did the NF already?

 

[rNilla]

Queen's bounties and new public events!

 

[Flying Toaster]

Patch downloaded... Where the bloody hell are you Nami? You have a strong back and I have a 12 pack lets get this shit done.

 

[zewone]

Year 1 is Destiny + DLC 1 + DLC 2

Year 2 is Comet + DLC 4 + DLC 5

DLC3s whereabouts are unknown

 

[Twilight Gap]

Queen's bounties and new public events!

oh well that explains it.

 

[Lnkn52]

I was under the impression that the crucible changes were coming with this patch. That's what I was excited for.

 

[t0rment]

after one week playing dota, i see that my destiny addiction is gonna come in hard. my grades are gonna suffer lol.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I'm personally non stop hyped for all new quest strings available now. Not your kinda thing?

 

[Toa TAK]

Damn. Was hoping that would be the case.

I have a bunch of AShards, but I don't need them anymore. It's all about the Radiant Shards now.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Anyone find the chest you need to open while the Ether Key timer is active?

Sounds like we're going to need a team of six going to the Venus patrol via VoG to maximize search party size.

 

[LTWood12]

oh well that explains it.

I was under the impression that the crucible changes were coming with this patch. That's what I was excited for.

Crucible is giving out double the rep and marks now, plus more loot.

 

[HigXx]

Me and 6 randomers absolutely trounced that first bounty! Scorch cannon is amazing!

None of us found the chest

I can barely remember the original QW event. Does these mission occur public event style?

 

[Impala26]

And BOTH types of Energies!
(for me, at least)

EDIT:

Wait, FOR REALZ!?!

 

[ethomaz]

Comet is DLC3 but it is a retail package too.

 

[ultrazilla]

If you're forming a bounty group, I'd be up for joining Hudson!

 

[Revolutionary]

Lol @ the thread title

Didn't know there was a patch today, looking forward to checking it out

What is the "Year 1" stuff about?

Back when TDB first dropped I was talking about their exotic upgrade system and how it basically erased your item from existence, which was defeating the entire purpose of some of the investment ideology in the game. Like, part of their angle here was supposed to be that when you saw another player in the world or inspected their gear, you could learn something about where they've been in the world or how long they have had them. The upgrade system implemented tanked that concept because upgrading was essentially just trading in one item for a different copy, so none of the exotics had any kind of permanence in the game world. Even if I had been the first guy to find, say, a MIDA Multi-Tool, when TDB dropped if I wanted to upgrade it, my old weapon would get destroyed and you couldn't tell any difference between mine and the person who had just received one. It was actually slightly worse with exotic armors because if we both upgraded them at Xur, we would actually be using the exact same version of the item down to the stat roll. It was doing damage to the attachment players were supposed to build with their characters.

Now you can look at an upgraded and tell a bit about where it came from, even well far forward from where we are now. It's not ideal still in my opinion, but there wasn't a great way around the damage TDB did in this respect so they lost some of their previous options. Now you'll at least be able to tell the difference between someone using a weapon they've kept with them since the first content cycle and ones that will drop later in the game's life. It'll also extend to all legendary and exotic gear, so that is a plus.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I can barely remember the original QW event. Does these mission occur public event style?

Yep, pretty much. Once the target dies, you get an 'Ether Key' effect and a message that 'A Fallen Treasure lies nearby'. I opened a chest and it contained a few rare engrams and some special ammo synth.

 

[Omni]

Sacrificed another commendation for further science. Can confirm that the rep from commendations will count towards factions if you're wearing a class item.

How does it work?

 

[LTWood12]

HOW DO I REDEEM COMMENDATIONS

 

[Ji66a-Man]

I got the first message and then I waited around and didn't get the ship or anything... Maybe I was not close enough to the forgotten shore one...



What?

An Ether Key timer appeared after I killed Drevis on Forgotten Shores and Kaliks-12 on Skywatch. This message appears after you kill those targets, "A Fallen treasure is nearby."

 

[cakely]

Has nightfall gone up to 32 yet? or is it still at 30?

 

[Twilight Gap]

I'm personally non stop hyped for all new quest strings available now. Not your kinda thing?

i must have missed the quest stuff when i read the notes.

 

[rNilla]

I GOT THE PAAATCH!!!

 

[hydruxo]

HOW DO I REDEEM COMMENDATIONS

Isn't there just a option when you hover over it? Like a consumable? I'm not on right now but I remember it being like that when they showed it off during the stream

 

[Defuser]

Fuck!! I kill two targets for Petra's bounty but I still can't find the secret chest!!

 

[LTWood12]

Has nightfall gone up to 32 yet? or is it still at 30?

It's still 30. It'll be 32 on Tuesday.

 

[Darryl M R]

Logged on to my PS4 and I was 96% done with the patch. God bless the PS4.

 

[cakely]

What is the "Year 1" stuff about?


not really sure what this line means

We're still in year 1, so I'm pretty sure "Year 1" means the new HoW damage cap of 365.

 

[Poker Face]

hmm got the key too but could not find any loot

 

[Darknyss09]

HOW DO I REDEEM COMMENDATIONS

Dismantle them.

Anyone want to group up for the queens patrol stuff?

 

[Sleepy Buddha]

Telemetry at gunsmith buoy

All of them, or on rotation?

 

[spyder_ur]

Sounds like a plan.

schwagger, do you only need the weeklies? i.e. you did the NF already?

I did them but don't mind joining if I'm on.

 

[Namikaze1]

Hahahaha! It really is dowloading every single patch Bungie put out. Fuck me.

 

[black stig]

Hey... Like to join if there's a spot. I'm on GMT+1 so timing is perfect for me.

Sweet! See you folks in orbit on Sunday.

1. black_stig
2. ThingontheFloor
3. Rollo Tomasi (kreepmode)
4. captscience
5. thenal84
6. gunawi

I'll send friend requests out later.

Lots of bubbles and captscience doing the ninja sword thing is what I'm expecting we'll need.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

i must have missed the quest stuff when i read the notes.

Not in the notes. It's a surprise when you log in the game afterwards. I dropped a detailed Team Bone Zone Breaking News brief all about it
