So I have to add an extra step of going to see the Speaker in the Tower if I wipe during Nightfall? Dammit Bungie.

edit: Top of the page!

Who can name the hand cannon in the gif?

 

[figadapaura]

So about that Thorn bug...

Can anyone think of any reason why I'd do 112 damage instead of 84 like it's supposed to?

Same glitch as TLW?

 

[Byron Bluth]

For real?

Fucking Bungie always doing great and then adding this kind of shit to piss us off.

 

[Trakan]

Why is everyone freaking out? So it's 1 Mote of Light. I can trade 2 shards for a Mote of Light.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

But the debuff is not there anymore at the very end of the gif.

It is in the Xbox clip. Looked like he/she was unable to actually buy the buff (thus the multi clicking).

This shit is weird.

exactly a 1/3 increase in damage... hmm...

I have no idea.

If that's true, yeah that is beyond stupid.

It will not prevent us from trying again, but it would be a pain in the ass to have to go back to the tower just for this after a wipe.
Also, it would make cheesing the nightfalls even more of a "clever" thing to do.

exactly what is the point? flying back to the tower after failing is kind of stupid.

ruh roh

looks like they buffed it again after all

was wondering why it was 2 shotting me

 

[Impala26]

arc burn
lightswitch
being in the wrong place at the wrong time

void and solar are easy but arc burn still kicks my ass

Wish I saved that clip of a single thrall surprise-flanking the other two members of my team while I was down and and killed them both with a single melee...

Thorn has final round. 33% more damage on last bullet.

 

[Kalamari]

This change is shittier thaan the citadel shitty chest.

 

[LTWood12]

If 'Extinguished' is for real, that is pretty shitty. What a waste of time to have to go to the tower.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Because having to go to the tower. To the speaker. Buy the consumable. Use it. Return to orbit. Return to nightfall.

Is really annoying.

 

[sploatee]

These posts are so fucking stupid.

Yeah

Me so good n00b ha ha you suck

 

[EL CUCO]

Destiny Souls.

Bungie going hardcore

It's an incredibly unnecessary addition that is a goldsink and wastes a LOT of time because of having to load back to space, then tower, then back to space, then strike again.

Bungie continues to make stupid decisions for absolutely no reason.

 

[Trakan]

That... explains everything. Crisis averted. Thanks.

It's more of an inconvenience. Oh we wiped? Now we all have to go all the way back to the Tower. It's Pointless.

 

[Twilight Gap]

nightfall news is tremendous step backwards. doesnt matter if it costs a mote to attempt again but going to orbit is part of the problem with it.

say goodbye to ever seeing matchmaking for it.

finally proof! i knew i wasn't crazy... this time.

EDIT: i'm crazy?

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

SO apparently you can stock up on those debuffs from the Speaker. Still, very dumb idea.

Two steps forward, once step back.

 

[EroticSushi]

It's a Bungie staple!

Ok, that's better. However, it's still just an unneeded sink they added.

Say goodbye to running it "legit" as well.
They seem to not understand that all the decisions they make around nightfalls contribute to us cheesing them more and more... They need to understand that we love all burns so much because it goes BOTH WAYS, and it's not just only punishing towards the players.

Providing all of this is real, of course. ^^

LOL, like this was ever really gonna happen.

At first finding out this might be legit didn't bug me because you could feasibly stock up on them, but then I realized it functioned like the Blessing of Iron and you'd literally have to go back to the Tower after each Nightfall fail... Bungle plz.

Second thought, could it actually be a consumable? Can you not buy Blessing of Iron if your consumable slots are full either?

EDIT: You folks confirmed the last bit, thanks for clarification.
Not as bad, but still kinda shitty.

 

[LordofPwn]

If they up the exotic drop rate and add etheric light to a %50 drop chance then i'm ok with this. Almost too easy to get exotics in the game. Is it dumb to add this in now at this point in the game? absolutely.

 

[Twilight Gap]

That... explains everything. Crisis averted. Thanks.

people must be running around with empty thorns then.

whatever fuck that gun.

Video of buying the buff to remove "Extinguished".

Well damn.

[KINGofCRA5H]

Haha, oh Bungie. Just another head scratcher. Another thing they'll probably get rid of in a few months.

 

[Nori Chan]

Yeah, it's even more suspicious than the screen was.
Wtf if this "buying" animation? Why doesn't it consume a mote of light? Why does it remove the debuff after switching page?
Doesn't make any sense at all.

Maybe it's not active.

damn you guys trying to think this is fake is pretty funny lol

 

[GhaleonEB]

Here's the actual clip of the debuff and the speaker selling the infusion of light to get rid of it... or rather not selling it.

On the one hand, I'm all for finding ways to make motes of light useful. I have 400 of them, having never spent one.

On the other, this just adds a step to the Nightfall when you wipe. It feels VERY forced. I do hope rewards are increased.

What were the two steps forward?

 

[patchday]

oooo... This is my day. PatchDay. Let the rage out dgaf.

Granted, this NF change looks pretty poor. Wish this game didn't have a Tower sometimes. Console Games that have a tower tend to become quite a bit more tedious due to forcing the player into it (Destiny and Dragonball Xenoverse)

 

[Shito]

The thing I dislike the most about this is that they never even mentionned it. It's not in the patch notes, not in the previews, not in the weekly updates, it would just appear out of nowhere because they knew we wouldn't like it one bit.
Once again that would crush all the good will they had going on with their communication lately...

Maybe it's not active.

damn you guys trying to think this is fake is pretty funny lol

Well, we had our shares of fakes lately, so I think it's reasonnable to be cautious about such a surprise change.

Reforging weapon is the correct way to make us spend our motes.
This is just the stupid way. ^^

How did I never notice that even. Damn.

dont remember ever running a nightfall "legit". unless hiding in a closet is how they intended us to play the boss encounters

is only a matter of time before all the safe spots are patched.

First thing I thought of lol. I think MM works with how it's been but, if this is legit, I can see the argument for not having it. This is so dumb if real though.

 

[everyday math]

I wouldn't actually mind this is it wasn't for the fact that the loading times are shitttt.

Good that you can stack'em.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I wonder if you can just buy a stack of them. Or something.

players: hey bungie, the speaker is useless!

bungie: omg you're right, we're fixing it. now every time you fail a NF you'll have to go to the speaker and buy your way back to the NF with a mote!

players: that's totally not what ...

bungie: yeah! we're so awesome! and you love us!

players: but we ...

bungie: LOVE USSSS!

at least that's how it goes in my mind :|

 

[rNilla]

Consumables to retry Nightfall? Bungie we've got problems.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

What were the two steps forward?

Better upgrading system for HoW. More Crucible rewards...do I really have to list all the positives HoW is bringing? It might be more than "two" steps even.

 

[Kor of Memory]

So about that Thorn bug...

Can anyone think of any reason why I'd do 112 damage instead of 84 like it's supposed to?

This raises some other suspicions I've been having with damage lately.

If anyone can test this, I'd appreciate it. All PvE related.

Yesterday I tried this with a level 32 Void Warlock and a 32 Striker Titan.

If I attack a vandal with my melee ability I swear I used to be able to 1HKO them. As of 1.2 every Vandal I attack with my melee ability lives with 5-8% health.

The odd part is that if I attack them with the basic melee (as in not the fancy cooldown one) I seem to have about a 50/50 chance to 1HKO a Vandal. The odd thing is that if I don't 1HKO the Vandal, I'm still doing the exact same damage to the Vandal cooldown or not.

I believe Storm Fist should be doing extra damage at least.

 

[hydruxo]

They can't possibly have thought this was a good idea.

But then again, I thought the same thing when they introduced the exotic upgrade system with TDB.
