This makes me laugh too much to even be mad about it:

Dev: Hmm...is that decimal supposed to be there?

 

[Kyne]

I've seen a lot of speculation online about the mechanics for Hard Mode. Will Oryx choose a random player to be Torn Between Dimensions? Does Golgoroth blind the taunters? Did we replace every combatant with Taken Captains? Let's just cut to the chase, because I think we all really know what Hard Mode is going to be this time around: Everything is clockwise. BAM!

is this gaf.

Lackluster Weekly Update.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Good God, looks like ODST is borked as well. "Lost connection to game session".

And how long has it been out? Mcc that is..
Faith in 343i, none.

 

[Lnkn52]

Lackluster Weekly Update.

They said a lot but said nothing.

 

[E92 M3]

fixed.

That would be easier from a programming perspective.

The flavor text is great actually. I totally expected it to be a real weapon based on that alone. lol

Thanks! Like I said, I normally suck with this haha.

Weekly Update is out!

What a surprise..

Feels like pre TTK BWU :/

Well my plan to go CE >2 > ODST (which i paid an extra 4.99 for) >3 >4 and 5.

Plan ruined.

Welcome to the long road to E3 2016.

 

[E92 M3]

Raid lead designer definitely reads GAF.....

Taken Captains everywhere on disco platforms.

Really sucks that the next update is in late November, though.

I'll be ripping my job's bandwidth tomorrow. Watching 12 HM streams.

 

[Bogeypop]

I knew it! Trials returns on the day before Halloween! 1-Year Streaming Anniversary Trials it is!

[TheAquaticApe]

I can't wait to find out what they considered to be a good default raid. The tears are coming. I feel the disturbance in the light.

 

[KodaRuss]

Looking forward to hearing about the HM Raid. I dont believe I can get higher than 305 right now so I will have to sit out for now I guess.

[thoseAREmySHOES]

OK, I've put it off about as long as I can... I need some help with Fear's Embrace to get my Touch of Malice so I can actually stand a chance in the HM KF this weekend. I solo'd it the first time around, but the slight difficulty increase in the ToM version is giving me issues. PSN: SoullessSHOES

 

[Orthogonal]

How about they address Kings Fall drops to Normal raid so those of us who are unlucky and remain underleveled can get to the point that they can even attempt HM. I keep getting he same damn item to drop every fucking week and am just now hitting 300. Still got a long road to even thinkijg anout HM aid.

Boring

Whatever

Why am I still reading this?

Going forward, the Questline will be shorter. Completing matches will give you progress in most cases, and we'll be giving you more freedom to choose how to complete it. Blah blah blah...

:O

I'll actually be able to complete this incredibly stupid long ass quest I've been ignoring because it's fucking long!

Yeah, people that play NM everyday should be prepared for Hard. The double RNG is annoying and abrasive to the player experience.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

You make the assumption that across a player base of millions that only one dude found it.

It matters less to me who found it so much as who spread the knowledge of it. He for whatever reason spread the knowledge with the most success. Had he not found and spread it someone else definitely would have,and I'd be slightly frustrated with them instead.

It was a bit extreme, and not a totally fair comparison. You're ok in my book SH Just don't start talking shit about my beloved Bolt-Caster and we're cool.


Boring reality, but you're probably right. Though I think the community has mistakenly pinned the PVP-only tag on Bolt-Caster. It is great in certain spots. Love it at the Totems.

I'm in no position to judge the exotic swords since I have none of them . I give the arc one props simply for coolness and reminding me of Zelda.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

I keep wanting to pick up MCC to go back through all the titles and get that Halo feeling down for the mp, but things like that just keep pushing me away.

Thanks again for that run in KF and having the patience while I took in the mechanics.

I bought it for my kid and even he stopped playing it due too issues.. trust me that is bad.

As for KF no worries it was fun everyone has too learn the mechanics at some point.
I get angrh when people start huffing n shit because someone does not know, like they was born into it.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Glad to see they are tackling quest steps in the next update. And I really like hearing from the different designers of the different activities, I hope that continues. Not a meaty BWU but a fun one. Hopefully they can start to unpack the next big update next week.

 

[border]

Why do I STILL allow myself to get excited for the Weekly Update, when it's almost always non-news?

Would it have really been that hard to just preview some King's Fall Hard Mode loot? Or give us some kind of information that we didn't already have before?

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Yeah, people that play NM everyday should be prepared for Hard. The double RNG is annoying and abrasive to the player experience.

This exactly.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

So we learned something new about the HM KF-

We're going to give you one more plate to spin, and make you think on your feet.

There is a Plate mechanic. We have to carry fine China around, and whenever we get hit we drop one of the plates. We only have 7 plates. You can only get hit 7 times within the whole plate before you're booted to orbit.

Added my GT is Darryl M R25 so accept back

Also yea I will dividing my attention. I will only have Halo 5 for my X1 but on PS4 I will be playing Destiny, CoD, Fallout, Need for Speed, and Battlefront. And my fiancee may be playing Assassin Creed on my PS4.

Seems legit.

 

[VE3TRO]

Nice Kingsfall drops for my Warlock tonight on my final run before hard. Just need some armour for my Hunter and a helm for Titan. Can't believe how easy it is already with an organized group. Can't wait to see what hard mode brings now.

308 Ghost
306 Chest
302 Fusion
300 - Machine Gun
304 - Bond
Vena Cava Shader
310 Artifact
310 - 4th Horseman

I don't remember if you have me already from Titanfall, but it's ArkkAngel007.

Edit: First KF drops were

• Bond of the Wormlore 310
• Kingslayer Shell 308
• Zaouli's Bane 300
• Midha's Reckoning 304
• 14 shards
• Emblem

[SnakeEyes]

This makes me laugh too much to even be mad about it:

Heh, agreed. I was expecting a much higher drop rate, after all the touting about how your primary source of IB loot would be End of Match rewards.

Spoiler

I got all the majority of the IB loot from drops

Thief!

I'm guessing that during the Totems in HM that the person running inwards with Deathsinger Power may have to transfer something to the person running outwards from the middle.

 

[deadduck]

Decent update, not sure what some people expect.

 

[xVaalbarAx]

This makes me laugh too much to even be mad about it:

gg bungle gg

 

[E92 M3]

Yeah, overall it was a decent update, but I am kinda upset that next big update is at least 3 weeks away.

I was thinking the same during that portion today.

And agreed deadduck. They never detail HM, nor say much about large weapon/balance changes until they're about to implement them. Only thing I wish for out of what they covered would be for the updates to be sooner than scheduled.

 

[E92 M3]

The totems are actually taken captains >.>

You have to carry a Captain back and force in your arms.
