We're just waiting on you, vid.

Online and in. Sorry for the delay.

 

[Lnkn52]

Wow, lol.

 

[Twilight Gap]

I kinda wish that they left the class items as purely cosmetic rather than adding stats to them.

At least now going through a raid and getting nothing but the Shattered Vault Cloak wont be a complete waste of time anymore.

 

[Cetra]

Looking to do HM raids for two characters tonight, any openings? I have a 32 Hunter and a 34 Titan. PSN: DarkSunCetra

 

[Namikaze1]

I still don't understand what made you mad unless I actually hit a sore spot. I'd apologise, but you told me not to.

And for the record, the '2 hours of silence' was because I was busy playing Trials and not reading the thread. Stop arguing with me, but not actually talking to me on a public forum like a petulant child.

Insults? Really? You gonna stoop that low?

 

[Robdraggoo]

Look at it this way - Light Level is now technically "optional". The stats simply mean that going through a raid and getting nothing but the Shattered Vault Cloak wont be a complete waste of time anymore.

Didnt they say some activities werr going to be gated behind light level?

 

[zewone]

Solo-ing Urzok wasn't fun, but I did it.

 

[NeOak]

Oh lol.

The Vision of Confluence fires faster on its own than with the turbo on the Hori pad.

Anyone for PoE 35? I know I ask all the time, but I really just want to get this triumph done.

Stop with the bullshit in the main thread and pm each other. Nobody gives a shit.

Back on topic, how many Crucible maps will TTK have?

 

[Daemul]

No reason to use anything other than Blink Thorn and Shotgun. So boring to watch.

Can't wait till next month.

You and me both.

I've quite enjoyed watching War's stream when he's playing. Sunsinger, TLW, Sniper. Not that Sunsingers are any less bullshit than Bladedancers but TLW/Snipe is more fun to watch than Thorn/Shotty to me.

Whilst I agree that Blink,Thorn and Shotgun is a bullshit and boring combo and I'm looking forward to it being nerfed, these guys in the tourney turn it into an art form. There's shit that they do with that combo that I never could have imagined, the amount of creativity they have is off the charts.

8 on ps4.
And be nice

 

[DrDrizzay101]

We've hit the point in the back and forth where it's best to take it off the thread please.

Are there any seasoned Skolas killers who want to join a run now? Don't even have to be experienced as long as you're Lv34 w upgraded weapons.

 

[Unstable]

Come on guys! We're all a big happy family.

Kappa?

 

[Lima]

Oh lol.

Cause pretty much all games today have a maximum fire rate lock in place so rapid fire and turbo controllers are useless. Destiny goes even one step further and requires full trigger movement for most weapons to fire so trigger stops are useless also.

 

[everyday math]

Nami if you got a problem take it to PMs. Other wise I'm calling in the mods.

8 on PS3 as well then right?

I can hop in. Gotta be off in an hour or so though.

Stabie your avatar got Kappa'd now add some Tooken eyes for maximum wtf-ness.

And not beaten, you go ahead man. Already did Skolas with Drizz once today.

Is being seasoned absolutely necessary? I downed him a few days ago for the first time, but I understand how the encounter works and stuff.

I haven't killed him before, but I hit the second part of the requirements.

Didnt they say some activities werr going to be gated behind light level?

Yes but I don't see a class item bringing light level down really low unless it is a makeshift scarf or something. It bothers me too though because my favorite hood is one of the level 4 ones.

 

[ocean]

Didnt they say some activities werr going to be gated behind light level?

Yeah but it's an average over 9 pieces.

If the other 8 are max Light losing a single slot to a low-Light class item won't bring you down much.

 

[NeOak]

Nope, fixed it. Just had to increase the turbo rate. Now it fires a bit faster.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

I love my makeshift scarf. They need more non hooded hunter cloaks.

Turbo sounds like it could be super fun with MIDA

 

[NeOak]

I don't have a maxed MIDA, but its damn fast with TLW

 

[Namikaze1]

I'm done. I don't feel as if I should properly respond to that after being insulted.

 

[Daemul]

Hopefully Faction class items are at max light. My Hunter has worn the FWC cloak exclusively since I got my Vanguard and Crucible to rank 3 and I won't be happy at all if I'm forced to wear something else just so that I'm not at a disadvantage when doing a Raid or something. Bungie making class items part of the light level equation boggles my mind to be honest.

 

[Lnkn52]

Do you have video comparison?

Again, for those who might be interested: finals in CM Tournament about to begin.

It's best of 7, they're on game 1.

Why would they do that? Existing ghost shells are starting out very low (3 light). They want you to upgrade to year two items.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Yeah but it's an average over 9 pieces.

If the other 8 are max Light losing a single slot to a low-Light class item won't bring you down much.

How is the math being calculated anyway? Is it just an average of all 9 items?

If so, if all of your armor, weapons and ghost shell are 190 and your class item is 160, your light level will be 186.

If your class item's defense is 1 and everything else is 190, your light level will be 169.

I'm not sure how they would calculate it if the class item has no value attached to it. If it is ignored when it is 0, then the light level shouldn't change.

Just rolled an exotic chest piece and got armamentarium. Stoked. Exactly what I wanted.

Nice, one of the best Titan exotics. Enjoy

 

[babyghost853]

Pretty sure it will only fire as fast as holding down the trigger, since that is supposed to be the max fire rate. I've never been able to fire faster than that, no matter how fast I hit the trigger.

 

[Twilight Gap]

What hunters need are some cowboy hats.

 

[Kalamari]

What will happen to the legendary cloaks for year one, will they have stats added to them in TTK?

 

[Kyoufu]

Tempted to get a Scuf controller. Can anyone here comment on how useful it is and how the build quality is?

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

What hunters need are some cowboy hats.

Yes, and some ponchos with Sombreros.

 

[igordennis]

Afaik, yes.

 

[Daemul]

I don't have a problem with upgrading to year 2 items since they'll obviously be a Y2 version of the FWC cloak for my Hunter to wear, I just worry that it won't be a max light level item and we'll be forced to wear the Raid cloak or something if we don't want our light average to go down.

Unless there's an infusion option for Cloaks of course.

I love it when that happens, yesterday I bought an engram hoping for HotPF, and it suddenly appeared.

Wouldn't surprise me if it ends up being different but that's actually the way they described it on stream. They actually had a character with all pieces at some amount of light except for the Ghost, which was lower. I did the math and a straight up average should have made them 187 light, but they were actually 186. Probably some rounding error along the way or something but the math sort of checks out.

It'd just be a shame if all our old class items are stuck at literally zero Light though I mean a 0 can bring any average down by a chunk. They should give stuff like Raid and Trials class items the Year 1 Light cap weapons and armor get.

second that.

reading into all the TTK info I'm feeling more and more inclined to pre-order the expansion. given that I never preorder games, I hope they deliver.

Is it? I got 2 yesterday, shared the one that had lower stats and I'm planning to start a titan with TTK
