lol, I've had a few like that. Sherpaing a flawless is draining esp if you run the abyss solo, last over on the bridge directing people/order etc, then run sword. Then for whatever reason have to do it all again
I'm usually mentally fucked unless its a perfect first run
God knows how you deal with Trials begging, Skolas and flawless runs
I did not,still need it. was hoping to do it in the next couple of days maybe.
or wait till lightswitch is gone :O
Because this attack value is modified with your light amount and someone earlier did the math assuming old exotics do 160 and new 280 dmg if you have max light you'll do:
266 dmg with y1 exotics
280 dmg with y2 exotics
Something like that
Everything has been reworked to accommodate the new light system.
Weapons and gear all together determine your light level by the defence and attack values they hold.
It looks like 160 is the new translation of 365 Attack.

Ahh I see, so our light level now has a direct effect on the damage output we do with weapons? That's cool! Thanks for the explanation
Oh yeah Lightswitch again... >_>
they just lowered the numbers across the board to stop them from going stupid high for no reason.

In wondering if there's a baseline stat for repurchased exotics. I know most of us get armor pieces and trash them if we get a better roll so most, if not my exotics are at max int/dis/str. I don't plan to shard what I have, but the thought comes to mind.
They basically just readjusted the base value of attack on weapons so that it roughly matched the equivalent base value of defense for armor pieces at the same item level. It's mostly to do with weapons now contributing to your overall Light level (along with all the other slots) instead of just armor in TTK, so it made sense to have their values more in line with armor pieces if they're roughly equivalent in their Light contribution. It makes it more intuitive to look at a new drop from either category and easily be able to tell roughly what "tier" it falls in. For example most players likely know at a glance that a 365 attack weapon is the max level for a weapon, but couldn't tell you whether a 451 defense helm is maxed out or not without looking at some other stat on the item (because you've really had no incentive to remember that number up to this point). Since Light is not actually listed on items anymore, this needed to be more intuitive.
It doesn't mean anything in terms of how much damage a weapon does; the calculation for attack will change along with the base attack values so nothing will change in terms of how attack effects damage dealt vs varying enemy levels.

They've shown two new primaries with elemental: The No Time To Explain pulse rifle and lightning auto rifle are both arc.Just read the 30+ pages since the reveal up till now.....
.... maaaaaaan, my eyes hurt, you guys wrote so much
This OT will soon be gone, new reveal is in 1 week, so....
Also, am super duper hyped for the TTK.
Did NOT like:
- that they are buffing the Necrochasm in 2.0, only to leave it behind as a y1 only weapon :/
- no elemental burn on new 2.0 exotic primaries
- no more buying of planet mats from vendors (not confirmed, but most likely)
- armor perks should be even more diverse (also not yet confirmed)
- the mess around DO/DO NOT dismantle y1 legendaries. As far as i could tell, besides regular pvp, they should be trivial and useless in y2, dismantling later on does not cheat the system
- kinda low legendary mark cap (one weapon engram is 135). Considering you get around 10 legendary mark per activity (shown in the teaser they got 10 marks at the end); weapons look pricy and expensive so far (13.5 activities per 1 legendary primary - from Cryptarch).

Since Bungie hosed us by running Small Arms/Lightswitch again, I'm guessing your buddy wants to do Skolas next week? Or is he still looking to run it tonight? Doesn't matter much to me, just let me know what you want to do.

Going to watch the planet destiny recap to try and make sure I understand everything, and don't miss any details.
I know there is a lot of talk about leaving certain exotics behind, but it hasn't been confirmed which ones are not coming to year 2 specifically, has it? I thought it was just speculation at this point.... Even if some exotics don't make it through the first pass into year 2, it might be possible that at some point down the line the will be brought over.

Finally saw some gameplay from a montage of the new subclasses. Can't wait to rock that Sunbreaker for my Titan.

He's still planning on trying tonight. Times running short and with the newborn, he doesn't get a lot of windows. What do you think?

Speaking of montages, i just realized that i have all of the clips to my first Gunslinger montage on my USB drive still. The original video files got deleted, so i think i'm going to remix it and throw together some old clips + the new ones I've had lying around. Call it a year one sendoff.

Watched that recap this morning. Recommend it. They did say even if your weapon was not treated to 2.0 upgrade it might be in the future. I see those ads for the new dlc post tTK like Mega Ghorn coming with new treatment.

Something I'm also curious about...
I have had warlock exotics armor pieces drop, which I dismantled immediately (yeah I know...), because I didn't have them need for them or any space to spare in the vault.
I wonder if the game will know "Hey... he had that drop and it was in his inventory at some point... so now it's unlocked in the exotic blueprint vault"
Probably not though

That's fine. I may recruit an experienced 3rd instead of running two newbies but it's not a big deal. We can roll as planned.

We're assuming the exotics shown in the stream are the one's carrying over. Especially based on Deej's statement that the ones you own that have year 2 versions will automatically show up and he had all year 1 exotic weapons unlocked. It shouldn't be that much of a work in progress at this point, so they were showing us final product. I bet they'll reintroduce rebalanced old exotics as time goes on to rekindle interest.
That Bannerfall map... are they hinting that we'll lose the Tower as a social space at some point during TTK?

I hate that none of the high level hunter gear has that great bandana, very poor mask options on hunter

Icon was going to be the third. I wouldn't have planned on another noob either. He will also be recording it. If you had someone stronger in mind though...
No,it's a different tower. You can see multiple towers in the distance when you look at the city from our tower.
This one was used by new monarchy and another faction that is now defunct.
Not guaranteed to spawn unfortunately. You'll have better luck in areas like The Divide which only has one type of event (Walker).

Haha really? That's so weird considering HoW end game content is focused on PvP. Oh Bungie...

Vanguard / Cruciable commendations.
I have a bunch of these not used. anyone know what will happen to them? Shall I use them now or wait till TTK drops?

Reducing orb generation in Crucible is a fantastic change though, specially in 6v6.
Right now, momentum carried too hard in a Control or Clash match. A slight edge in the first third of the match leads to first supers, with orbs chaining into more supers...increasing the gap between the scores, and it just snowballs from there.
Between this and the weapon balance (Thorn double tap: you will not be missed, die and disappear forever kthxbye), it should be a little better. Sadly, none of these problems are as serious as the truly, painfully frustrating ones: namely sloppy matchmaking leading to laggy lobbies and an extremely smooth (and thus inaccurate) lag compensation system which leads to baffling trades and issues with hit detection.

Negative ghostrider, he had a handful unlocked. For instance, we have seen what looks like Bad Juju 2.0 in the reveal trailer, and Hawkmoon 2.0, but the test character that Deej was using didn't have those weapons so the 2.0 versions didn't appear.

That's fine too. Solo or two-manning the early rounds is no problem. It shouldn't take more than ~30 min to get to Skolas w 2-3 people.

Bungie keeps telling us to no dismantle anything. I'm guessing the mechanic of the system knowing which exotic gear you have acquired is not in play yet.

Awesome.... so awesome....
needs ore hunter though
Right now, they just give you some rep towards either faction, I would assume the same would still happen after TTK hits.
Btw they said our current marks will be converted into Commendations. I really, really doubt it'll be 1:1 though or we'll start with 1,200 Commendations on day 1.
If it's 100 rep per sharded commendation, and 2,500 per rank, 1,200 Commendations would mean sitting on 48 rank level ups, which is insane
4:1 maybe?

Yeah but using them now, ranking up Vanguard or a faction give me Packages at the postmaster that can have legendaries in them...
So better to wait and use them after TTK so I can get NEW legendaries as I rank the Faction/ vanguard...
UNLESS bungie is a bunch of A holes and have figured out that people can do this and somehow just turns these Vanguard/Cruciable Commendations into something else.
DrDrizzay101

I'd wait. They will likely give the same rep gain as before (Luke tweeted that Yr1 stuff will still dismantle into the same things in Year 2). But you can get faction packages in TTK that will give you new Legendary gear, instead of getting Motes or old gear now.
The only catch is that you have to pledge allegiance to a single faction for a week at a time, so you couldn't spread the rep around quickly once TTK launches. You could use them now to get your rep close to ranking up for each faction but you'll still have to wait to rank up all the different factions once TTK starts.
They give rep when you shard them, and still will come TTK.
That said: currently you get either faction rep or V/C rep. After 2.0, yiull gain Vanguard / Crucible rep on top of the Faction rep.
So you'll get twice as much from it if you wait
