Me too. I feel like the loot system in general is in much better shape from what we can see so far. I hope they don't re-introduce primaries with elemental damage in hard mode King's Fall.

I would bet my entire vault collection that elemental primaries are in hard mode.

Wow, I wasn't aware we didn't have elemental raid primaries. Gonna make burns a lot more difficult, though really nice for weapon variety in the top tier.

Hey guys is anyone going to do
today? I have the CP but have not tried him yet since I was getting my light up (299) So I need a party that is willing to wipe so I can learn the fight.

But that stability is so bad
On slower firing, single-shot weapons stability isn't that big of a deal compared to other weapon types imo
by the time your second shot comes around, anything important will have moved anyways - the recoil is manageable to a point where you can predict where your reticle is going to be next

Same here. Made the game boring and made new drops mean nothing.
The Thorn DoT was the problem. You could shoot someone in the head twice, run away and your enemy would wither and die in a corner. 2-fricking-bullets. Sure, the range was insane. But, imo, the DoT should've been fixed. Reduce it to 3. Making the gun a 3-4 headshot kill.
The Last Word, yeah. Well. Not as awfully OP as Thorn. TLW actually required SOME skill.
Now, everyone is running around with a goddamn Pulse Rifle. So much for Bungie and weapon diversity.
I'll take that bet. I vacated my vault anyway so I don't have much to lose!

I want to do this... I will start.. tonight. Was hoping for a site similar to destiny ghost hunter, but for now I guess we can look at destinystatus.com to see what we've already found.
I just need to get used to it a bit more, I like weapons with a high stability and that's what I tend to use mostly. Will play around with it some more.
All the exotics from TTK seem very good though
I'd actually say that the Crucible now hasn't been this diverse since the weapon update that initially killed ARs.
Also, naw - the base damage on the Thorn being so high was the real issue. I didn't mind the DoT. That's what made the gun a unique weapon in the game. The issue was that two headshots WITH the DoT was just rolling through people. Right now, I actually love where the Thorn is at tbh. Its still a good weapon.
I really really like how the loot system is currently. Keeps blues fun to find and legendaries are quite rare but unique.
And "smart loot" isn't stupidly generous which is good.
If they can keep their design quality consistent with TTK then this game might be incredibly well rounded by year 3.
Also they really should put out a legendary Vault of Glass Redux

I've been using my 'real' gear in PVP because I don't give a shit about winning/losing in this dumb game and I want better drops at the end. So far I'm actually pretty impressed with the 300 fusion rifle (Long Far Gone) you get from quests. Got a few arc lightning kills with Zhalo Supercell too - never been much of an autorifle guy especially in crucible but it works. I should try out Jade Rabbit too.
I'm curious if the armor perks that say 'increased armor while using an arc/solar/void subclass' affect PVP. And if you could stack them with The Ram to be a real jerk.

You mean Pulse Rifles? Because thats all I see at the moment. Sure, there's an occasional Auto-Rifle user but they mostly switch back to, lets say, the Messenger of Red Death.

I agree with this. Getting killed in PvP with a whole range of different weapon types. It's been good to see this.
What you're saying only applies because thorn has a high impact like most hand cannons.
Kill its impact and make it ruinous only when you stack a bunch of dots and from there you can run amok. You won't be killing quickly but it will be incredibly useful for team play.

Destiny Ghost Hunter actually already supports showing Calcified Fragments. They just haven't added the descriptions of where to find them yet.
im game for it too but my warlock is only 287 :/
hopefully i can reach 290 after doing a few more strikes

Yup! Just noticed it haha, man.... people are fast!
I would pay $20 for an updated VoG version, with takens if they want, and new Vex/taken gear to get from it.
They could throw in the same thing for CE in it as well, but I mainly want it for VoG.
Things are still being explored right now. I think you're going to see a lot more Scouts as time goes on. Hand Cannons are really the only primary that have been moved away from, which is natural as that category never had a lot of presence in the legendary weapon context, so the nerfs that hit the exotics that occupied the majority had a large effect.
The Long Far Gone is a REALLY good FR because with the right perks, it can have fully maxed stability. The range isn't the best in the world, but with generally solid stability (which it has at base level) you can reliably put people down outside of shotgun range with ease.

Perfect.
Not sure I can get all today :/ I only have maybe 17-20?
Need to do Warpriest again, too.

Has anyone figured out how to get these exotics:
I'll probably do these over the course of a few days, is this one of those exotics that you have to wait a week to get?
First Curse & Sleeper Stimulant

Me too. I like that you get whatever drops, end of story.
I think the HoW weapons were of less value because you could keep re-rolling until you got what you wanted. The weapons that dropped never felt special because they could just be changed.
That's a strange (and extremely unlikely) thing to hope for. Why do you feel this way?
I really disagree. Because of how strict range drop offs are, there really isn't a one-size fits all weapon for every map in PvP anymore. The higher impact pulse rifles are lovely when allowed breathing room - but they excel in a nice area (which allows a good player a ton of options if we're going to go further but meh) between AR/HC/FR/General Fuckery range and SR/EZmodesnipe ranges.
There's generally more personal preference in Crucible than there probably ever was right now. If you've been getting ate up by PRs, its STILL better than being ate up by the exact kind of top to bottom class and weapon build that summed up the end of Year 1 PvP.

The higher the light level the greater the damage and better loot ?
So I'll be farming CoO for the 3 Calcified Fragmenst I'm missing from Tier 2. Have 5 Antiquated Runes, 1 fully charged and 4 that needs to be charged by 12 Tier 2 CoOs. Have enough Stolen Runes to charge 1.
For anyone in need of doing a Tier 3 for Eris's quest, send me a friend request. PSN is namikaze1. I'll be doing them in 3 hours.
One last thing before I head off. Once you complete the Tier 3 requirement, would you kindly leave the fireteam so that I could help others who needs to complete a Tier 3. I'm not just gonna be farming for the fragments. I'll also be helping folks who need to do the CoO quest.

First curse seems to be a gunsmith related extoic-quest.

edit: oh fuck, top of the page: Stormcaller masterrace represent!
btw, ace of spades is the new fatebringer confirmed lol
i literally ran out of ammo without a reload during a strike at one point today. so gud /swoon
I still believe that the whole weapon class took a hit for what those three exotics did.
You can still have a good handcannon but its got to be the perfect combination of perks to succeed. No other weapon class really suffers from that. At least not a primary.

ha! i was more referring to pvplayers who are like all dominating on a daily and bragging and it's like "dude, you're not accomplishing anything, if anything please beat us faster so we can get our marks and go do something fun."
so it doesn't apply in this instance i guess

Check out Zoba's video of our fight last night
might not explain that much but you can see the idea. And once someone does explain it (too lazy to type that much as of now), it will be less wipefully...hopefully Good luck!ehhhh yes to the higher light level the greater the dmg and defense..not sure about the second part.
edit: doing the daily, feel free to jump in.

I have it, though won't be on for another 20 mins
Mainly because they had a pretty large choke effect on the entire primary category in PvE. Once we had access to the elemental primaries in VoG, almost nobody used anything but those weapons, which in turn took a dump on the entire exotic spread in that slot for PvE activities.
Morever, they simply aren't needed. Weapons in hard mode are going to roll with naturally higher Attack values than anything in the game, so they already will have an advantage in that category. On top of that, the reward for being able to acquire them from completing hard mode will be that you can in turn bring up any of the other weapons in your collection to their level if you don't want to use the ones you received. If they roll with elemental, this goes out the window since what you'd be infusing them into won't have the elemental.
The weapon slot works better without them, especially with the infusion system in place. I'd rather see the entire current weapon spread retain viability in both sides of the game instead of just PvP. The only one we've seen so far is an exotic, which isn't as bad because it has a higher opportunity cost to access. If you could get an arc primary in that slot without needing to occupy your exotic weapon, it becomes much less valuable. I'm hoping that is a sign they are moving in that direction.
