Same, I need to eat then I'm free.
Spare Change's weird recoil pattern is largely mitigated by the increased stability of Braced Frame in the middle column.
It doesn't stop the spread from being up and to the left, but it does stabilize the gun enough that the grouping of shots is so tight that one being slightly left of the others doesn't often result in a missed critical shot. That opens up the third perk column for something other than Counterbalance.
I'm using Hidden Hand and like this build a lot so far:
Third Eye, Braced, Hidden.
It doesn't make up for my lost Hopscotch with the same rolls, but if you have a spare Spare Change, it's preeeetty darn close.
Spare has a slightly better AA, ads, and handling value than Messenger IIRC, so I didn't mind investing some motes into it.

I thought they patched blink? I've been playing mayhem and it seems to me blink voidwalkers have a huge advantage over the other classes in that particular game mode.

Hard Light is so good now. I love it for these close quarter maps.

Lmaooooooo I'm reading a pre-review at PD of the new exotic armor and I'm only two pieces in and I'm already giggling at how ridiculous some of these new pieces are.
I just went up an entire team of shotty blinkers with Thorn. It's totally viable still and scumbaggier than ever.

You can turn them in as they are not complete. There will be more steps when TTK launches.
My understanding of the blink changes is that they mainly impacted how fast you ready your weapon as you finish blink. Not sure it impacts supers at all. Despite playing Voidwalker, I don't use blink so I may not be up to speed on the changes.
How many more triumphs do you need? Skolas isn't hard (easier than fucking Qodon IMO). I can help out later if you want. DrDrizzay probably could do, but I think he hates me for advertising him like a Big Mac.

I'm not touching any of those Quests until we actually get TTK.
Anyone else realize that they seemed to reduce the hit boxes of aim assist or melee attacks? Including Shoulder Charge.
Also, the blast radius of Nova Bomb and Fist of Havoc seem to be noticeably smaller as well.
There needs to be more patch notes because there is tons of other stealth updates that weren't in the 2.0 notes.

Can anyone point me in the right direction where to find out how much xp the subclass quests give?

I love spare change. hand laid stock or counterbalance pretty much negate the weird recoil pattern.
I've got two of them. One with battle runner, hand laid stock and hidden hand. The other with rodeo, braced frame and counter balance. They both are great.
Spare Change also has the best stock range.

Yeah the melees, especially warlock, no longer seem to do all the aiming for you. It used to be that with a warlock you could look five feet left of a person and hitting melee would cause you to turn and smack him like nothing.
Yeah. Handlaid or Braced for the middle are musts. I've been testing a couple of rolls too.
Hopscotch was a bit more of a laser, but Spare is holding its own. It's the best of what's left.
Sweet, throw up a post on here when you're ready and I can join and look for 4 more people.

Getting all your Crucible bounties done in a single match is so nice. I never had trouble finishing the others pre 2.0, but these new bounties are soooo quick and easy.
I'm curious to see what the Nightfall tier Crucible bounties/rewards they've talked about look like next week.

It's still to raw to talk about it, though an explanation would be nice to start the healing process
The only reason I can think of was it was to OP in play testing 2.0
I need Skolas and hard mode Crota. I would probably end up doing Crota anyway since I would like to get the shader, but PoE always felt like a grind to me so I hadn't done 35 yet. If you don't mind doing it again that would be great.
As a Titan this makes me happy. Strangely and anecdotally the Titan melee feels better than before, even if Shoulder Charge has been adjusted with less auto-aim.
There seems to be some extra range with the Titan melee now, or I could just be imagining it because I am getting blasted less often by shotguns.
I have Counterbalance on mine with Outlaw. Middle column perks are High Caliber Rounds, Quickdraw and Casket Mag. I like it a lot, especially with the weird recoil pattern negated by Counterbalance.
That being said, for PVP I like my 55A-allFate even more. It's got Spray and Play, Hand Laid Stock (which almost maxes stability) and Army of One. It's basically a laser beam at medium range and it is much, much easier to land critical hits with than the Spare Change.

Win 2 Crucible matches with an individual score of at least 1500.
Win 7 matches.
Win one game in three different Crucible game modes.
Earn points in any featured playlist. Crucible wins are worth 3 points. Starting a new match costs 1 point.
Complete the Crucible Daily on 3 different days.
Complete all 5 of Shaxx's weekly bounties in one week.
These are what we have seen so far.
125+ strikes. Two god rolls that took hundreds of motes and weapon parts. Two dead guns.
I think the Hopscotch archetype change is maybe the shittiest nerf they've ever pulled.
All they had to do was reduce the base stability to Spare Change levels and I wouldn't feel totally gyped out of those resources and time.
I'm not angry or anything, but I think it was a ham fisted solution. Messenger still exists. Spare still exists. Why nerf Hopscotch into a smoldering crater when you could just make it as good as the other two?
Bad call IMO.
Hold it till Tuesday, that's free experience you could be earning towards 40

Ok so the first part cleared with a Public Event.
Then I had to collect Spinmetal
Then next step was killing Vandals and looting their bodies
End result for this mysterious strange Patrol mission I never even picked up?
Nothing. What is this
Patrols and the Vanguard playlist aren't dropping anything atm, they will next week.

You will get rewards once TTK is out. Right now patrols give nothing.
