I was thinking about helping folks out with their Triumphs today, but I'm actually heading out to a music festival that'll apparently last all night.

I won't be missing out on Godspeed You! again. No sir.

Xur is gonna sell Hawkmoon this week, I can feel it.

 

[E92 M3]

I'm back. Was so busy lately.

I had to talk through setting up a new router to my nephew and his mom. That only took nearly 3 hours last night. It's a lot harder to do when they have no clue what they're doing I can't be hands on. The good news, it works now and he no longer fluctuates between 1-2 wireless bars but now all 4 / full strength on Xbox 1. Pretty crazy he was able to play many hours at crappy Internet.

I'll be done with the overall stats from OT 1-29, tonight.

Excited for the results!

Is it available on XB1 now?

I would be 100% OK with this. The game has seen fit to only give me Plan Cs and Gjallarhorns for like the last 2-3 weeks lol.

 

[Hawkian]

They should have made it still possible to 2SK if the perks procd up close IMO

Well let's not get it twisted here. It ABSOLUTELY is possible to 2 shot kill with two headshots, if one procs.

probably, since it dropped for me, finally, in nightfall.... ;/

 

[JohnOfMars]

I can't believe that for a second. Besides PS exclusives being stated to not go live til 9/15, that would deny Xbox owners the chase. Hawkmoon is the rarest exotic drop in the game. That's why Gjallarhorn went unnerfed for so long. They want us to chase 'em and nothing is more worthy of chasing than the Hawk.

its entirely possible. didnt the exclusive strikes open up for xbox players this week?

 

[Tovarisc]

No, on 15th it will be.

No way dude Xur is random c'mon

 

[ocean]

wowee zowee

That's an interesting solution. I don't actually get how it would help with the issues it's facing, but I haven't tried it myself yet since the patch either.

Hmmm. Frankly, that just doesn't match up with my experience.

Are you totally sure that the target's armor has no effect on this?

It seems to me that one lucky bullet headshot and one regular body shot does 190 damage, maybe even 191? That would cover a few of the Warlock and Hunter possibilities on there.

Then again I suppose these numbers are considering Aggressive Ballistics and I've switched over to Field Choke *shrug*

Hawkmoon old numbers:

Headshot: 94
Body: 63

1 Luck Headshot: 126
1 Luck Body: 84

2 Luck Headshot: 168
2 Luck Body: 112

So in the past, you'd be able to kill in 2 body of they triggered 3 Lucks and the opponent wasn't a max armor Titan or Warlock.

Now that both LitC and Aggressive Ballistics are nerfed I think it's an impossible scenario even in the best of cases.

In any case, a lucky headshot plus a normal headshot should still kill despite the nerfs.

Or a double lucky headshot and a body.

Lucky headshot + lucky body I'm not sure. Depends on nerf to Aggball/Luck because it's cutting it close.

 

[Frenden]

I'm staying up tonight. Fourth Horseman is the only year one exotic I need and there's a small chance Xur might sell it. Works for me!

 

[Robdraggoo]

No way dude Xur is random c'mon

uh huh. random, yeah...........

 

[vctor182]

But there's supposed to be a place where you can convert the old mats into the new ones and use them going forward.

So this seems unnecessary to have.

Yeah but they're saying you will be able to convert the armor mats to the new mat so it's redundant to add the option unless they're planning something.

Seems weird its not live yet since you can get the new mats now

 

[Hawkian]

That's what I meant. It made sense in my head, but came out opposite. I'm happy range got nerfed. Getting two shot by exotic handcannons from across the map made me not even think about playing trials after the 3rd week.

Oh ok, gotcha.

 

[Afrocious]

back in my day, xur sold sunbreakers and us warlocks dealt with it like bosses

 

[Marvel]

NF anyone? ^_^

 

[Robdraggoo]

they changed there minds and all hell is going to break loose. cant have that before TTK there is always a catch

im kidding, it does feel strange though

 

[Hawkian]

Good then. With that knowledge I'm done trying to work anything more out mathematically- see my note above about Holdin' Aces

 

[Tovarisc]

I like to think that my coin reserves and never running out is thanks to Xur peddling sunbreakers week after week.

Also I think I got Ghorn because of it.

Edit:

Baiting people to burn all their mats for rep because no exchange anywhere to be found

 

[Robdraggoo]

yes, by dealing with it, meaning crying week after week and week
Sunbreakers again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ocean]

Easy enough to check. Just gotta fire 13 bullets on Patrol and jot down what they each did.

That's where things get weird. Is that really the case? That the Aces pack more punch than a LitC round?

Still bothers me that the new Titan class shares a name with a Warlock exotic.

At the same kind of target of course. Maybe I can motivate myself to do this.

Anyway, the biggest change that I've been talking about is intangible. If I shoot off all 3 lucky rounds in my first 4 shots of the mag, I'm going to be shooting the next 3 a lot sooner than I would have before this patch.

No.

They just wasted a super cool name on warlock gauntlets.

 

[xplicitone]

I'm doing the overall top posters throughout all the OTs combined.

I'm also going to try a little something else that I won't mention yet, as a little personal bonus. Hopefully I can get that to work how I'm imagining haha. At the very least, I will include some other info.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Titans are just breaking down the boundries on class warfare.
"were all guardians, cant we just get along?"

Yeah. Knowing WHEN LitC procs is a huuuuge buff.

Essentially. I remember wanting those Gauntlets so bad, then not using them once after I bought them. They should change the name since Titans have officially made it cool.

Hey, wooflocks are cool...

Titans are just infinitely cooler tho

Hawmoon's recoil feels a lot better to me than Thorn's.

I'm seriously just going to call the Titan class the "Breaker" because it fits the theme and avoids confusion.
