The strikes that weren't dropping "correct light" loot— was that at 320 or 350? The notes don't suggest that 320 strikes on earth no longer drop decrypted blues up to 365, so maybe that was intended?

Does anyone else on xbox get massive frame drops after playing for a few hours. It's always fine when I start playing, but after about 3-4 hours, there are times when the game gets like this:

No. Only frame rate issues on XBone have been in the particular raid encounter that seems to cause it on both consoles.

In other news, I got a DAMN good PVE roll on a Cryptic Dragon. This gun is great. It has Zen Moment, High Caliber or high stability for the third column, and firefly

I have a Hand of Judgement with a similar roll (braced frame instead of zen moment). So good.

I wonder if those other strikes can also be farmed. Archon's Forge should be a more viable thing to do for progression now as well with a guaranteed source of offerings and more chances to chain them once you start.

I have barely touched AF so I'm looking forward to it.

With a steady stream of offerings and a good crowd of Guardians, the Forge is some of the most fun I've had in Destiny. So many engrams. Everywhere.

 

[Toki767]

Finally, I'll be able to finish those archon forge bounties.

I've never even seen SIVA offerings for Captains.

 

[UberLevi]

Man, fuck this Gjallarhorn quest.

 

[Deku Tree]

Glad they made it a lot easier to get offerings. Now let them stack plz. Or let us hold one of each type at least.

 

[FinKL]

Now that you mention it, all of my purple engrams dropped Y2 Vanguard and Crucible vendor gear, not Y3.

This is the case for weapons for me, I thought it was intended?

 

[Rehsa]

I never got a chance to farm Omnigul, RIP. Almost time for new OT 😢 What's the theme of the raid?

 

[Pandora012]

So does the patch mess with Grasp farming too?

 

[EL CUCO]

I hope its a substantial increase of offerings. Those Shiro bounties give some juicy rep.

 

[GustyGardens]

I've never even seen SIVA offerings for Captains.

I've had a few of those drop for me. The last one I did was a Perfected Captain offering, which was pretty tough. At the very least, it's not a group of Taken Captains through those shade orbs at you.

 

[gspec]

Ok this has got to be a bug.

Since ROI launched I have had zero legendary weapon engrams turn into year three weapons.

No exaggerating

All of my legendary armour engrams turn into year three gear.

Here is the list of the weapons I have received since I noticed this was happening

5 x Apple of Discord
5 x Antipodal Hindsight
3 x Questing Beast
2 x Smolder
2 x Ruin Wake

The only year three weapons I have received have been post game rewards in crucible and from rank up packages.


Is this how it's intended to work?

I think it is. Only the crucible and vanguard\Factions give you year 3. I could be wrong though.

 

[wesleyshark]

So does the patch mess with Grasp farming too?

Yes. She only drops loot at the end now.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Anyone want to fill a spot at the boss for easy exotic quest? Experience preferred.

 

[Strider]

Archon forge change sounds good. I hit 345 this morning and hoping I can run that and a CoE card this weekend to get some levels.

 

[Deku Tree]

Yes. She only drops loot at the end now.

She only dropped grasp from a strike key since RoI launched. So you can get a grasp but farming a god roll is impossible.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

I never got a chance to farm Omnigul, RIP. Almost time for new OT 😢 What's the theme of the raid?

Bungie said it's, "Collision" in an interview before ROI was released. I think they nailed it.

 

[jaaz]

About time they fixed Archon Forge. Maybe the place won't be a ghost town anymore now that you can actually get offerings.

And why so long to fix the Omnigul farming? People have been doing that for months to get a Grasp.

It's somewhat disheartening that Bungie didn't see these obvious glitches and fix them before releasing the expansion.

 

[Hawkian]

The strikes that weren't dropping "correct light" loot— was that at 320 or 350? The notes don't suggest that 320 strikes on earth no longer drop decrypted blues up to 365, so maybe that was intended?

Unless the language of the notes is truly misleading, it would seem that Omnigul herself on the director strike will still drop blues up to 365; she just can't be suicide-farmed, which, while it was certainly great for day-1 raiding needs, is fair enough

I've updated my post about progression farms and such to reflect this patch:

[Truelize]

Now that you mention it, all of my purple engrams dropped Y2 Vanguard and Crucible vendor gear, not Y3.

Ok so it's not just me.
But that can't be the intended result. Why would we be getting year three armour but year two weapons?
I've had enough time to try out the Apple of Discord. It's not happening Bungie! Just let it go.

 

[gspec]

Yes. She only drops loot at the end now.

I am surprise it to them this long to patch it. The farming started not to long after taken king launched.

 

[Spaaaaaaaaace]

Need one more for final boss of raid. Ps4

Full, I think.

 

[Hzoltan69]

Does anybody need to do the 3 boss kills for the final phase of the OP quest? Need 3 or 4 more people.

 

[Comms]

Yes, me and a friend would. I'm currently 365, I'll likely be 370 or very close by tomorrow. My friend will be 365. Both Titans.

If that works for you let me know.

Awesome! Add me on PSN Comms_12389 and we can try and sort something.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Or green Warlock bonds filling up the post master.

right?! the fuck is up with this.

 

[Darknyss09]

They need do increase the skeleton key drop rate. I only got 2 keys after several heroic strikes. I wish it was a reward from completing Shiro's bounties, or something like that.

This.

I like the idea of a guaranteed skeleton key each week. They did this with the HoW treasure keys because they were so rare. I could see them doing something similar here.

 

[Johan Liebert]

Just beat the raid and got the pulse quest before the maintenance. That was close :lol

 

[Phear]

Hey guys. Can someone help me with "Beauty in Delivery" for Gjallahorn? I cant solo this

 

[darthbob]

This.

Replace the Legendary engram with a Skeleton key and that'll make a lot of people happy.

 

[Hzoltan69]

Repost for the new page: Need 4 more people for the raid boss kill part of the OP quest.

 

[commish]

Hey guys. Can someone help me with "Beauty in Delivery" for Gjallahorn? I cant solo this

I have to do it later today if you can wait a few hours.

 

[Phear]

I'm from Europe, my bed calls in about 2 hours

[noomi]

Its been a while. Even more shocking since we have Discord as well.

Spoiler

Discord never killed DGAF BTW, just made it better.

If there was no discord, my post count would be too damn high again. No more wall of shame for this Guardian.

BTW, will there be a discord link in the new OT? Seems many want to join, but private invites make it a bit tough.

 

[MrDaravon]

Got a The Continental from a faction package with Crowd Control, Perfect Balance and Persistence, it's actually pretty solid.

 

[all of my hate]

Could have sworn I though you used to be able to infuse blue items.

 

[Phear]

Add me: astropoff

Were friends already. Im NemesisWhip. I'll invite you

 

[Rehsa]

Bungie said it's, "Collision" in an interview before ROI was released. I think they nailed it.

From what I've seen on twitch yeah

 

[LTWood12]

Blue Items have never been infuseable.

 

[molnizzle]

Hey guys. Can someone help me with "Beauty in Delivery" for Gjallahorn? I cant solo this

Jump on top of the boxes to the left of the table and just wait behind there for the timer to fill up to 100. Easy cheesy.

 

[Xion385]

Guys, I finally got Raze-Lighter today! Omnigul here I come!!!

*Thirty minutes after reading the patch notes*

..... I'm never going to raid this month.

 

[E92 M3]

I've literally never had a skeleton key drop. Bungie should be encouraging us to run strikes and open treasures.

 

[all of my hate]

Blue Items have never been infuseable.

Well, fuck. I found a Warlock set that I really liked.

 

[noomi]

I've literally never had a skeleton key drop. Bungie should be encouraging us to run strikes and open treasures.

How would you feel about Skeleton Keys being added to the NF loot pool?

We get coins, why not keys?

 

[molnizzle]

Would have to be a stack of them. Like 4-5.

 

[MechDX]

I had one in the Psion Flyers strike and used it then.....

Got a void layer mantle...

[SpecX]

Bleh, did the Omni farm once and never again. Doesn't hurt me too bad as I've been farming Sepiks anyways to level up.

IMadeAHugeMistake.gif

Are you shitting me? Did they just lock the strike legendary items behind the fucking chest? The key is near impossible to get, only have the first freebie they give out.

 

[Hawkian]

Anyone who wants a link can and should PM me, JohnOfMars, Xplicit, etc.

 

[E92 M3]

They should be guaranteed for the NF In addition to everything else.

Were you trying to get the Treads?

 

[xplicitone]

I've literally never had a skeleton key drop. Bungie should be encouraging us to run strikes and open treasures.

Igor and I ran 2 whole nights of strikes to legitly level up the first 2 days of ROI. I got 1 skeleton key that entire time.

Definitely need to fix skeleton key drop rates for sure.

 

[noomi]

Would have to be a stack of them. Like 4-5.

They should be guaranteed for the NF In addition to everything else.

I'd be cool with 4 - 5 keys dropping, or have additional ways to get them.

Raid drops, weekly drops, crucible drops...etc
