Need 1 more for nightfall

 

[Waldini]

So ... the First Curse quest can be done in PvE? That's good to hear ... especially with that 5 bullet handcannon.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

are you shooting them from far away? there's a range stat now.

I was however I was getting killed in one shot from the exact same distance.

Are the daily bounties the same ones as yesterday?
I don't know if a bounty asking people to cap points would be a good thing, I mean all the blueberrys are already capping the third point and flipping the spawns, so if you give them a reason for that now... ^^

Not sure. IB started at like 2am my time and reset just before I got home from work. Missed a full day of bounties etc.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

The 7 kill streak can be done in pve environment , the headshot sprees mean you only need to get 7 hs kills in one crucible game , you apparently can die in between. Btw morning gaf

Wow this is communicated extremely poorly. It should say kill seven enemies in one life, get seven headshot kills in one crucible game, and infuse to whatever level is needed.

 

[irrotational]

You have 308s and are complaining!

Souldestroyer, pls

My loot pool only goes to 310!! Luke please fix to 500! K thnx bye...

Being a bit more serious, there are currently 2 routes to 310 as far as I can see. Grinding raid drops and grinding exotic engrams for infusion... I think both of these are deliberately "long tail" and that's fine. Being 310 versus 30x is an emotional goal not really a logical one...I.e. There isn't any content gated behind a long level grind.

So the nightfall reward change would effectively help speed up the non-raid route to 310..plus help speed up the busy work of getting cosmetic faction drops (assuming you don't need the 280 light gear drops). That's all good IMHO.

It's worth bearing in mind that Bungie, and Luke, are trying to move the grind to breadth rather than depth. I.e. trying to get decent armour of each element type, or a particular set of stats that suit a particular exotic choice. I'm not sure how easy that will be to achieve when the primary damage modifier is based on vertical progression...but I wish them luck!

 

[deoee]

Not entering the crucible until I have a good pr. Got my ass handed to.

Used apple of discord yesterday. Got my balls cut by all the red death and bad juju :-/

Hawkmoon saved me later on. Still need to decide if I like that one ore Ace of Spades better.

 

[Raybunny]

Anyone with the IB hunter cloak? Would like to check it equipped cause the preview shows the hood not being used.

That is nice: http://i.imgur.com/4PlRbJq.jpg

 

[RexNovis]

Need 1 more for NF. Anyone up for it?

 

[noomi]

Imprecation quest done, reallt wasnt so bad. Popped into rumble and it was done.

Now we wait another week.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

vertical looks sexy af though. is the Suros one all white?

White and Red. Suros colors.

I tried to do it in Siege of the Warmind and it didn't work.

So it's 7 headshots in 1 game? Dying is okay, but has to be in one game?

Yup! Do rumble or control, easy peasey

 

[RexNovis]

Thanks for the NF guys, thought I'd have been able to force my hunter through but that was tough.

Also what's with the bullshit reward? Lvl 300 legendary gauntlets? Are you fucking kidding me? The ones I have equipped are 308.

Smart loot my ass.

Yea this week is rough. Definitely hardest NF yet.

Both my rewards have been duplicate exotic helms... I thought we were supposed to be getting less duplicate stuff.

 

[Inapplicable]

Wait, I can get the kill sprees in PvE on first curse quest? I already have the headshots part done.

 

[Twilight Gap]

White and Red. Suros colors.

the lack of orange is a tragedy.

 

[Raybunny]

Wait, I can get the kill sprees in PvE on first curse quest? I already have the headshots part done.

I saw on reddit a post about it. Confirming PVE worked for it. - Wrong

Step 3: The quest description is a bit unclear, this is what they want... (thanks to /u/lockjaw00/ for clarifying)

Infuse the weapon to unlock a new perk slot on it (speculation is 260LL at least?).
1 - Get a 7 kill spree in PvE with the Imprecation
2 - Have to get 7 precision kills in one game in the Crucible (doesn't have to be in one life)
3 - Get Hand Cannon kills with a Primary or Hand Cannon Telemetry active (TIP: Do this at seige of the warmind, or patrol, etc. Pretty quick.)
4 - After, speak to Banshee at the tower.

4 steps it seems. Can you guys confirm me this?

 

[noomi]

Spindle back at 310, everything is back to normal.

*hugs spindle*

 

[Acidote]

Luke isn't really the guy one would ask anyways.

Change Luke for the people responsible of weapon balancing. I'm sure someone can forward the hand cannon situation to them.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

That tense moment going into a new Match at 9/10 kill streak. Watch me choke.

Edit: what a friggin joke. Joined into a losing match and got blown up with golden gun instantly.

 

[maomaoIYP]

IB weeks always stress me out. I refuse to do IB level 5 three times. I should also try setting goals instead.
Today: complete gunsmith tests x 3, do daily bounties x 1, do daily heroic and crucible x 1, do first curse quest x 1, play IB till I pass out.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Right on that easy use part and aim assist. But as you said pulse can 2 burst anyone at a good range, the aim assist plus the easy to use factor might not even save you there. What is it good for? Risk/reward seem to be not on the spot for the type of weapon it is.

Luck factor ? Each time I use an hand cannon I think: Range, accuracy and stability seem to have randomly generated values per shot. I do include range cause its more than just range.

I am far from a good player. And used HC since launch. My skills aren't that bad to detect that it wont cut it out unless I use the Ace or the baby hankmoon. Should say a lot.

Not quitting on them though.

Any IB spot for a scrub?

 

[Oscar]

Hit rank 3 with IB today. Will probably hit 5 when I play again the afternoon.

It took my PS4 around 20 minutes to reach 100%. 10+ of those were at 0%.

Ok. Daily PVE and PVP missions done. Still need to do the raid on my hunter. Then IB

 

[Bradach]

My PS4 is stuck at Preparing to Download 0%. I just want to play

For me it sat at 0% for a good 15 mins then decided to download 500mb (which took another 20 mins or so)

A buddy of mine wasn't so lucky and it decided to re-download 18 gigs. (corrupt files I think he said)

A buddy of mine wasn't so lucky and it decided to re-download 18 gigs. (corrupt files I think he said)

I got the in-between version of this: switched on the PS4, went to do other things, and when I came back to it my download was tagged as "couldn't update". Trying to start it again would prompt the same message again after a few seconds stucked at "preparing download: 0%", telling me the data was corrupt.
I had to erase this update and manually go to "check updates" on the Destiny tile for it to accept downloading it again.
I feared this would make me re-download the whole 18GB thing, but it didn't, it only erased yesterday's patch and started again from there.

Has anyone here confirmed whether alts get double rep like usual for iron banner?

Imprecation quest complete, classic 6v6 worked 1st game for headshot kills, so many scrubs. 7 killstreak in PvE has to be done without reloading, now to wait another week.

IB is just pulse rifles, not fun at all.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Eh I dont want to post it without his permission.

Anyway,what's yours? my Xbone GT is the same as my GAF which is the same as my PSN..which is the same as, you guessed it, my Steam name as well

Ah! No reloading! Thanks! They should make that a bit more clear on the quest log.

That "If you have shotgun equipped you should lose all agility, mobility and accuracy" sounds like terribad idea that should never reach game itself. I'm not saying shotguns aren't too easy and go-to special atm, but going to extremes and making whole weapon class worthless is never solution.

it's the fact that awareness for the core issue is being raised that made me post it.

there has never been a penalty for running with, jumping, sliding, or hip firing a shotgun unlike every other weapon in the game. they either bump shotguns down accordingly, or bring everything else up.

 

[Jafku]

Any IB trains going? Playing with randoms is frustrating me

 

[BahamutPT]

Not reloading in PvE isn't working either.

 

[Bold One]

Does it bother anyone that the Vestian Dynasty is still the best side-arm in the game?

is there a TK roll for this?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Not reloading in PvE isn't working either.

Have you infused it to 270 yet?

 

[Bogeypop]

I was wondering why the Gunsmith Handcannon PvP Test Weapon was so beast. Thought it would be harder getting the kills, but managed to get them rather quickly and easily. Didn't notice it had Final Round, so that would explain it. That and all the good PvP players seem to be doing Iron Banner rather than the Daily PvP.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Same. Not working. Weird.

Can't one who has done the second part of the first curse shine some light on what's going on? I can't get the seven kill sprees in PvE...
