Holy shit you can just spend 2 minutes to relevel the spindle. Nothing happened move along.

Damage ratings only matter up to 300 anyway.

Well for Oryx at 300 light damage up to 310 does more damage. I believe it's 10 attack over level that matters. But yeah it doesn't matter very much.

 

[stb]

It's all the more infuriating because they've been doing so many things right. I knew the Spindle nerf was coming, so thankfully I've got a 310 1kYS. But all this did was suck fun out of the game. Black Spindle was one of the coolest things to ever happen in the game, AND everyone was talking about it for a couple of weeks.

This is the only thing that bothers me about it. There was so much good will from the Spindle popping up unannounced, the high light level, etc. It just seems really short sighted of them to fixate on "fixing" it, when they shoulda just written it off as "bank error in your favor".

Someone's quote of something akin to burning ALL the goodwill from TTK is obviously hyperbole, but it makes me sad for ANY of the goodwill from TTK to be burned.

It's also ineffectual. It just makes it formality to relay that 310 around to other items to-reinfuse a spindle to 310 if they want, and all the "damage" of infusing other specials to 300 via the kiosk is done and not reverted by the patch. So they waste some goodwill, and give the 1%ers a chore to do. Makes no sense.

I've said it before, but it's stuff like this that really undermines the "we're players, too!" stuff. I don't doubt they play their own game, but if anyone at Bungie is "the 1% of the 1%", they clearly have no authority over there.

Weapon parts and strange coin nerfing also seems unnecessary.

 

[spyder_ur]

Any IB groups? Please don't make me do it with randoms.

 

[Havok]

It can't just be me who got that glitch?

Seriously, this is fucked.

Rank 0 to rank 1 is only 100 rep. If you got 107 your first match, hovering over the IB icon would show Rank 1, 7/1200 because you skipped the entirety of Rank 0 - hence the confusion.

 

[Sketch_Turntable]

Everyone so angry that IB gear is only 280. I just care if it looks badass.

 

[E92 M3]

Man i just got the Taikonaut helmet on my titan. Super useful. All rockets track their targets now. Fucking nice. Ugly helmet though.

I have a 310 laying around. It's too ugly to use.

I fed it to 1000 yard stare which I fed to Eirene. It's like sniper inbreeding.

Are you going on Jerry Springer next week?

basically every Destiny patch ever.

Oh damn, LT got banned. Too many gifs...?

I've been using it with the vendor FWC rocket. The added radar works out nicely because that thing handles like a bus on your shoulder and you don't have time to snap aim it. And it's so fast with such huge blast radius you hardly notice the grenades and horseshoes nerf.

Yikes, that or too much rage, poor guy

Exactly. The nerf is pointless. Then why do it? Just to piss off the community?

 

[Tovarisc]

Any IB trains leaving the station and need more men? I volunteer :b

Luke Smith plays this game a shit ton and has a ton of authority at Bungie, but unfortunately he is not managing the Live team it seems. Look at how brilliant TTK turned out - that is under Luke's and Mark's guidance.

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

That will be awesome if Trials takes place here. Totally unknown to everyone.

Yes, Bungie is out to get you.

I always told you that LT was a bad seed.

But yikes, that sucks.

Yeah, that's a well put version of my own opinion there.
I'm not really "pissed" about those, just kinda disappointed, and I think it's a good thing to express our discontent.

Yeah now i just need a decent rocket launcher.

Oh shi..

 

[R0ckman]

Any IB trains leaving the station and need more men? I volunteer :b

Would love to join one too

 

[Bold One]

My update is starting from scratch....why?!

 

[darthbob]

Anyone else notice that the banners in the Tower are all Iron Banner themed now? Presumably this will change per event.

 

[LiK]

I fed it to 1000 yard stare which I fed to Eirene. It's like sniper inbreeding.

sounds so dirty

 

[Liquidsnake]

What is a vendor version of the black spindle?

 

[Future PhaZe]

taikonaut is too ugly for life--infused asap

 

[phen0m24]

What is a vendor version of the black spindle?

There is none. It kinda stands out alone.

 

[Deku Tree]

I sacrificed my 310 hearafter to the gods of my new 310 black spindle.

 

[Shito]

Oh damn, LT got banned. Too many gifs...?

I would guess it's more about that one particular gif answer?
Hope it's a small ban. :/

 

[flkraven]

taikonaut is too ugly for life--infused asap

It wouldn't be so bad if it would react to dyes.

 

[commish]

I can't believe there's this much anger over the black spindle fix that was announced weeks ago. I know this is GAF and all, so things can be taken to the extreme, but come on! The gun is as good today as it was yesterday.

Anyway, let's focus on getting some IB trains going. I can only watch until I leave work in 2 hours

 

[Frenden]

LT banned?! :/

Pfft.

 

[Twilight Gap]

lol at the economy nerf.

 

[mehrmantrout]

2 more for a banner train, join on me, Churmon or grimlock

Edit sorry if I kicked anyone, grimlock had 2 with him

 

[TheTylerDurden]

What level do you have to reach to buy the IB pulse?

 

[Tecnniqe]

OT35 We can Dance if you Pay to

 

[E92 M3]

Yeah, don't get why LT was banned - unless it was for another thread.

 

[EL CUCO]

They replaced shot package on all my god tier Y1 shotguns with Surrounded!

Spoiler

I knew it was coming

 

[Lnkn52]

for my lost brethren

So any reviews of IB so far? Lag free?

While I think they should have just left the ones we have alone and made the kiosk version 280 I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. My new spindle is already back up to 304.

 

[spyder_ur]

2 more for a banner train, join on me, Churmon or grimlock

Coming in on Grimlock

 

[DreadfulOmen]

Anybody want to team up for IB? If so, add me: DreadfulOmen

Luke Smith plays this game a shit ton and has a ton of authority at Bungie, but unfortunately he is not managing the Live team it seems. Look at how brilliant TTK turned out - that is under Luke's and Mark's guidance.

I hoped it was obvious that I was talking about the patch, but that's a fair clarification.

Ultimately, though, it's sad if Luke and Co. do great work and plant a beautiful garden if an ignorant live team (EDIT: which we're now funding!) comes along and stomps the flowers.

The Spindle nerf is punitive and nonsensical. It tarnishes the fuzzy feelings people had from the event only to cause a minor inconvenience to restore it back to 310. The whole thing should have been a 5 minute conversation in their daily stand-up meeting to arrive at the decision to not do anything to "legacy" spindles, but fix the drop and kiosk going forward.

 

[Deku Tree]

With 330s in the DB I think that I'm gonna hold off on infusing anymore and just look for ideal perks until we get further info... My levels are currently high enough to do everything that we have seen so far.

RE rerolling exotics ... I don't like how they keep changing the rules of the game without warning... Feels like they're trying to get us to expend resources and then giving us new reasons to expend more resources on the same thing.... Good thing perks aren't really crucial for anything in the game anyway.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

What level do you have to reach to buy the IB pulse?

Rank 5. Costs 90 Marks.

The IB weeklies net you 75 marks.

Seems easy enough.

 

[Greenymac]

My god, this was the best loadout for a long time.

I replace black hammer with "The Supremacy" and that was my go to loadout.

 

[TalentBurke]

Why would they hype up IB by showing us guardians in full IB gear but only sell the boots and class item? I feel trolled.

Edit: i knew they were only going to sell a couple armor pieces but I actually thought they'd be something else. Oh well.

What's the light level on the boots?

 

[Messiek]

We need 1 more for NF.

 

[GustyGardens]

Does Lord Saladin sell new shaders, or are they still the Year 1 shaders? I'm not at home yet, so I can't check for myself.

EDIT: Bungie.net is working now, so I can see that they're still the same shaders.

 

[Bogeypop]

Alright, I'm finally ready for some Iron Banner. Who wants to get a GAF IB train going?
