No, but there isn't a dedicated page on my Bungie.net profile with an emblem checklist. There is for Moments of Triumph, which I assume will continue through future versions of the game. Not being able to get the one for year 2 fucking sucks.



I checked and saw that I needed a PoE and some calcified fragments. Figured that I wouldn't need more than a couple of weeks to handle that.

Hey I am just jumping in to the thread, so may have missed it..but have you allowed for the 8 hour gap between RoI reset and the MoT deadline? This means there will PROBABLY be an 8 hour window to get COO and CM fragments done. There are posts about it on reddit. We won't actually know until the day..but youll have to plan ahead and get something booked in as most players will want to do the new content.

 

[SpecX]

Didn't they say it would?

Really? Guess I can stop dragging myself through Rumble matches trying to win and wait for the update. 95 more to go, but it will be so much easier.

#MakePatrolsGreatAgain

I dont like this. Why so generous Bungie?

 

[kassatsu]

Public events made great again. Wonder if the Public event bounty will make a comeback

 

[onimushroom]

Hmm, maybe I should not have cashed Shaxx's weeklies in before the patch.

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Public Events:

PvP: "Legendary Engrams have been removed from the Crucible PGCR, so Crucible Legendary Weapons will drop significantly more often"

 

[Teasing_Pink]

Class items accept shaders! The best news to come out of these patch notes by far.

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

No, of course not. See my post on the previous page.

We're likely to get the small quality-of-life changes like shaders affecting class armor.

Major RoI features will not be live until RoI.

Eat crow, Lamonster!

 

[Kalamari]

The heavy change on elimination, I like it.

Hmm... didn't consider that. This was the case with PoE 35 when TTK dropped. I bet it'll work like that again.

What is the CM fragment that I (think I) need? All of Bungie API is down so I can't check anything. I love how after months of absence I finally borrow a PS4 and sit down to play on my one day off each week and the servers are down for like the longest maintenance of all time. fml lol

 

[shermas]

HYPE.

59% download. 4 pm is so, so far away, though.

Bungie getting generous with Public Events makes me nervous, though. Like we're going to need 200 silver mats or some other garbage to level up new weapons or something. What's the catch?

Check https://destinycalcifiedfragments.com when the API comes up in 4 and a half hours.

I don't know Google calcified fragment tracker and eait til the API's are up. Google and reddit can tell you the rotation of tier 3 coo and cm mode in the raid.

 

[SpecX]

Is there anyway to remote kickstart the update beside using a Vita? Hate to get home and have to wait "hours" at PSN speeds.

 

[The Lamonster]

Eat crow, Lamonster!

Where does it say private matches are available today?

The heavy change on elimination, I like it.

Came to post this. Pretty huge, and awesome.

All in all, these are some seriously great updates.

 

[Feorax]

Patch notes look pretty interesting. Will give it a look in a few hours.

I still (somehow) need the do a strike with a fireteam in your clan trophy. Which is the most active clan on GAF these days?

 

[NeOak]

Eat crow, Lamonster!

Macello, you're drunk.

 

[X-Frame]

Going to be awesome to see so many people out in Patrol now. So 45 marks a day if you do Daily Public Event / Heroic Story / PvP mode. Not bad!

 

[mehrmantrout]

Can someone explain the point of having a central heavy ammo for elimination/trials. You're both going to be fighting for it so the likelihood is you'll wipe the other team or be wiped, thus never using it

Why not just get rid of it?

 

[AEREC]

Sweet...so that means my Kherpis Sting won't clash with my thunderdevil shader?

 

[noomi]

Down to farm rumble with you. 1v1 me bro

Deal, I win one.. you win one

 

[darkistheway]

Remember doing doing public events everyday to get ascendant shards?

That poor fallen walker

where are you guys seeing this stuff?

 

[Xeroblade]

Damn Bungie, all that loot for a public event!

 

[EL CUCO]

I could tell you a time when the best reward Public Events gave were 2 shards.

I remember logging in everyday and doing daily missions and public events with all three characters like a robot.

Never again.

 

[shermas]

I remember thinking that I'd never have enough ass shards/mats to level up my VoG gear. That walker....

Remember needing shards and getting mats? Or vice versa? Good times.

Edit: New music HYPE! Patch has finished downloading.

It creates greater incentive and risk/reward for map movement. It also treats heavy more like the scarce commodity it should be.

I like this, will create some very interesting moments, will also give one team a pretty big edge.

Blame Todd and his sword kills.

Today, 10:10 AM:

I'm expecting a LOT of goodies tonight. This is patch 2.4 so it should include all the little quality-of-life updates we've been hearing about for a long time. 2.4.1 should unlock all of the new RoI content when it goes live, but I'm guessing today we'll get things like shaders affecting class armor

...

Macello, you're drunk.

 

[mehrmantrout]

It would if it was in Skirmish/Salvage but elimination you all start from the same point every time, plus half the maps will have an unbalanced "centre" point

 

[void666]

IMO, emblems are meant to convey things you did. While it isn't the best emblem, I like it because whoever recognizes it knows what it means.



Put blessing bubble in boss room
Shoot until shield is gone
Get blessing again
Shoot until shield is gone
Get blessing again

Rinse and repeat.

Really? I never felt like ToM was the better way to kill any boss. They die so quickly already.

I was literally using ToM last night on KF HM Oryx CM to manage Ogres, was using Defender with BoL and it's just the best.

bungo whyyyyyyyyyyyy???

ToM is even more situational now. What a shame.
Fuck KF HM.

Shit like that was why I created other characters!

 

[MrDaravon]

Seriously.

Now if viewed as "Dressing Room: The Game", its one of the best.

I was reminded the other day of how insane it is that we've never gotten an option to re-customize your character (hair/markings etc).

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I wonder if there will be some surprises waiting for us tonight ala treasure keys from House of wolves.

 

[Kalamari]

Unbalanced maps were unbalanced before the change as well. It's not a solution to every problem, but it's a move in the right direction.

 

[SpecX]

Seriously, this was the only time I used it and the only reason I went out my way to get it. This makes KF even more stressful and frustrating, but fortunately they did this at the end of its run and not at the start.

 

[The Lamonster]

I wonder if there will be some surprises waiting for us tonight ala treasure keys from House of wolves.

Most definitely. Probably in the Cosmodrome.

Remember the pre-DB swordbearers and how amazing it was to wield their swords for a minute after killing them? haha

Maybe we'll get to play around with axes tonight?

 

[TheAngryMonkey]

If anyone hasn't heard it yet, I put up the first 6 minutes of the start screen music. Very good - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAUd7DlPj00

 

[mehrmantrout]

With the mailce nerf you could probably go 3/4 shots into the self damage then dip back into the bubble to reload and regen health

 

[darthbob]

Still never got Husk of the Pit lol

In a way, I'm glad because I never had an impetus to go for the Crux.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

And PSA: Last armsday before ROI is next wednesday, so you need that for the exotic sword if you haven't done it.

Spoiler

I need to farm materials for two swords, mine and my friend's. FML

Wait, will we be unable to get the necessary mats after RoI goes live?

 

[mehrmantrout]

Wait, will we be unable to get the necessary mats after RoI goes live?

Yes

 

[FyreWulff]

There is something ultra rare as fuck: The emblem from having the highest user level in the old Bungie.net forums. There are like 1000 people that have it iirc, and not all play Destiny.

The "rare' emblem I use is the one they gave if you had 4 Halo games registered before 343 took over. I had the 5 you could register.

I just barely missed the Mythic but I was an ass to my cousin and just linked them to my Legendary after they bragged about getting a Union of Light off a streamer. Buy that, buddy! lol

Man, I had to actually delete some stuff off my PS4 to make room for the patch. Time to think about upgrading the HDD.

 

[The Lamonster]

Wait, will we be unable to get the necessary mats after RoI goes live?

Sure, you just won't get your Moment for it.

He's referencing the part where you have to wait until the next Armsday to progress the quest.

 

[Shiv47]

Wait, will we be unable to get the necessary mats after RoI goes live?

It's only last if you need it for your triumphs.
