They vary, but typically any time in the next 3 hours.
:lol thanks everyone!
It makes me want to puke, when the Bungie PR team acts like this... even though I know that they are just paid soldiers following their marching orders.
Acknowledge the real issue, and talk about it please... instead of just making fun of the community for pointing out your obvious BS.
Jesus that's irritating.
At least Urk can keep his sense of humour during all this.
Unlike all of GAF.

Yep, whatever the outcome they buffed ARs by -1%

I can't believe how much I'm enjoying sparrow racing. Pretty fun to spam my bicycle horn, too. tring-tring-tring-tri-tring!
I initially liked the Venus course much more, but Mars is growing on me, especially now that I've got the hang of those giant fan blades.
I don't understand the final positioning system, though. 1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 4?

What, no Year 2 Bones of Eao?!
Go home Nami, you're drunk. And probably hungry. Go eat a pizza.
I'm still more pissed about the epic nerf of the Year 2 Achlyopage Symbiote.

I hope this doesn't mean that they are going to double down on the typo thing. DGAF and Destiny Reddit would explode.
That's exactly what it means.

Thats pretty indicative of why so many get upset. Its crazy to think this is ok. Its rare you see a community treated so poorly.
Its like the back handed weapons part comment from Deej.
he's starting to "irk" me.
I thought it was kind of funny..
Over/under on number of times "typo" appears in the BWU?
Over/under on number of times "intended" appears in the BWU?
The fallout is going to be pretty entertaining either way.

Any typos will actually be intended, and there's probably an in-office sweepstakes going on how quickly someone posts on Twitter about them.
Intended: 5 times.
Me too. They're just going to blow this off.

It's funny, I notice Urk gives Cozmo shit, but in a good way. Kind of like teasing a younger brother.
There's been several jokes about firing Cozmo over the past few months.
Yet I never see Urk really interact with Deej at all.
For anyone that doesn't know. Urk is Deej and Cozmo's boss.

Yeah to me it just seemed like Urk was a harmless jab about the fuck up. Maybe I'm am just so used to everything that is said by people saying one thing and meaning another as a result of my legal job but I don't think it is a slight towards the players at all.

Lol pulses have changed, again
Also fuck this The first of these early 2016 experiences will be on a scale close to Festival of the Lost
- Low RoF (The Messenger, Spare Change): 14.23% base damage reduction
- Med RoF (Hawksaw, No Time To Explain, Red Death): 10.69% base damage reduction
- High RoF (Bad Juju): 8.17% base damage reduction
- Highest RoF (Grasp of Marok): 2.97% base damage reduction
Also fuck this The first of these early 2016 experiences will be on a scale close to Festival of the Lost
The first of the early 2016 experiences will be on the scale close to Festival of the Lost. The second will be far larger than anything you've seen since the release of the Taken King. There's also another significant update to the world and sandbox planned in this same window.
....part of me wishes for Dark Below 2: Darker and Lower

Nice, there it is! Good job Urk
You have to eat a pizza on the 16th of December.
It'll be my birthday :3
This is what I'll be honestly expecting. Patrol activities and changes to the world.

Hahaha, of course it won't.
Look Bungie, either you start giving your players some straight information or you just don't post anything at all. This is kinda ridiculous.

What is the point of increasing damage if the numbers dont go up?
The damage numbers you see in game are not the raw base numbers we work with. The number shown at a damage event gets scaled by a lot of factors (activity, target, Light level, difficulty, precision, damage type, etc.) and then displayed to the player in combat as rounded whole numbers with a clean UI presentation. A small adjustment to an Auto Rifle may not be enough to change the displayed number, but (THIS IS A HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE) if your base damage changed from 20 to 20.2, and then you fired that damage value every other frame (at 30 fps) over the duration of a 50 round magazine, youre actually getting a change in DPS even though the base number still reports as 20 in the UI.
Specifically for PVP, add precision damage scaling and the barrel upgrades that scale up Impact available on Exotic and Kings Fall Auto Rifles, and youll start to feel the new change a bit more.
Will that be enough to properly buff Auto Rifles?

Wow. Doubling down on 0.04% increase. I can't even. What?

What the ever loving fuck does this even mean. Are you saying I have to fire 400 bullets to notice a change?
Bungie is acting stupid as fuck.

I'm with you. I don't know what to think at this point. At the very least, Bungie knows they have a PR problem.
The new numbers...I have no idea what they are trying to do. The explanation for the minuscule percentage changes with auto rifles just doesn't make sense to me yet. Maybe it's my post lunch near food coma.

It's all a joke to them.....sigh
I think there are a few different levels to the communication problems. The first is there's a general uneasiness about the future of the game we're all invested in. Destiny is a 10 year journey, and one year in Bungie initiated a major change to how the game will be supported and funded - and barely communicated their intentions to the community. They pivoted to micro transactions without ever stating what their line in the sand regarding what can go the MTX route, so people are uneasy with each update and the subtle ways the line has shifted. We have no expectations about what kind of scope the Live team will develop, what their planned cadence is, etc. We don't really know where the game is going. I think the community is still on edge about MTX and are waiting for the other shoe to drop. Bungie doesn't seem to recognize this unease. Deej and company have said they want to keep releasing surprises like SRL, with little to no warning. That's fine, but I think they are making a big mistake in providing no compass whatsoever about Destiny's near or long term future.
The other is in how they do bring out information. Deej is needlessly, relentlessly opaque in the BWU's, obfuscating information when there's often no reason to do so. Why was the release of the challenge modes a surprise? Why was the date of the patch saved for PSX? Why does he say things like "in one rotation of the earth" instead of "tomorrow"? Why are so many changes made to the game without context or explanation (the Great Weapons Parts Famine of 2015)?
The moment to moment communication is really quite poor and seems totally detached from what the community, who are clearly very invested in the game, want to hear. I understand there's a lot they can't talk about. They're not going to announce the next expansion / Destiny 2 plans this early. Their long term roadmaps for the game may still be in flux. But it just feels like there's a fundamental disconnect with what the community is interested in and what ends up in the BWU's and other communication channels.

I know everyone is caught up with SRL, but Nooblet and I are starting up a PVP train if anyone wants to gear up for Trials tomorrow.

Fixed an issue where copies of The Climb FWC Ship was incorrectly providing Reputation. We have temporarily disabled the ability to re-acquire this from the Ship Collection kiosk, and will fix this in a future update.
That was a thing? Dang should have done that to hit 25 on my other two!
