Faction packages capped at 385 RIP

Umm.. Vanguard, Crucible, and Faction packages are 390 according to the patch notes.

Umm.. Vanguard, Crucible, and Faction packages are 390 according to the patch notes.

Yes and obviously I turned mine in before I saw the patch notes because they were up late. I got a 385 and 387 from two packages. Will hold on to the rest now then.

 

[Strider]

Preparing to download always takes so long for destiny...

Also LL boost not until later?

 

[Fistwell]

Well looks like they sometimes still go to 387 like before. Doesn't look like factions will help you go to 400 though.

So, they literaly are not capped at 385, are they?

 

[Melchiah]

A vendor is finally taking Spinmetal donations? Awwwww yissssss!

Feels good to put those 1200 pieces to use.

Crap. Dead Orbit is taking spinmetal, but by the time I can get on they'll probably reroll and no one will be taking spinmetal again.

Isn't it supposed to be for the week, until the next reset?


On a side note, the patch just came up on the PS4.

 

[Sane_Man]

So basically there's no point playing til after the hard raid drops because nightfall etc will drop higher light gear then?

 

[GraveRobberX]

Oh thank fuck 390, phew

That's still good

Get all 3 to 390, get exotics used regularly to 390
Then go do AF for ghost and Artifact boost


Good stuff

So bosses drop Siva fraents even after you've done the Raid
Welp, looks like a nice reward for players who've done it and are helping out

 

[LiK]

So...I can delete all of them from my vault? Game changer.

fucking finally. i can clear out some vault space.

 

[HigXx]

The mask collection is what I needed in life

And the NM ship being fixed!!

Notice how they didnt delist the Box of Raisins

 

[Strangelove77]

So basically there's no point playing til after the hard raid drops because nightfall etc will drop higher light gear then?

That's so stupid.

 

[Melchiah]

You have to actually open the game so the patch will appear. Checking for updates doesn't work here for some reason.

Nah, the notification came up for me, when I booted the PS4.

 

[wesleyshark]

Faction packages capped at 385 RIP

It's 390. Light level increase doesn't go live until the heroic mode unlocks

[captscience]

Yes and obviously I turned mine in before I saw the patch notes because they were up late. I got a 385 and 387 from two packages. Will hold on to the rest now then.

Per the patch notes:

"All changes to increase Light above 385 will take effect upon the release of Heroic Mode for Wrath of the Machine" 5pm est

 

[KxoZz]

The mask collection is what I needed in life

And the NM ship being fixed!!

Notice how they didnt delist the Box of Raisins

more reason to keep them

 

[Toki767]

Hopefully they increase the drop rate of Skeleton Keys soon.

 

[JJShadow]

18:30 raiders, the patch download will take a bit for sure, so let's postpone the raid 30 minutes, we'll be starting around 19:00 once everyone is ready

Normal Mode WotM - 18:30 BST (UK time, right after the patch) - PS4

1. JJShadow - JJShadow77
2. Festwill - ZonySUX
3. Seep - Seep_UK
4. YomommaZ - Gigly
5. maxiell - arya41

[Taborcarn]

From the patch notes

All changes to increase Light above 385 will take effect upon the release of Heroic Mode for Wrath of the Machine

https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/45338/7_Destiny-Update---101816

Big thing guys, don't decrypt for another 2.5 hours.

 

[MythicReclaimer]

So there is little point to play until 5:00 PM EST for anyone 385+LL sans for earning Vanguard/Faction XP and Exotic engram drops?

 

[Smokey_Run]

So basically there's no point playing til after the hard raid drops because nightfall etc will drop higher light gear then?

Beyond stupid IMO.

 

[wesleyshark]

That new Mercury social space! Woot!

I'll never see it, but still really cool haha. 👏

 

[Lima]

So basically there's no point playing til after the hard raid drops because nightfall etc will drop higher light gear then?

Yeah it is fucking dumb. I thought they released the patch earlier to give people time to increase their light before hard mode.

 

[KxoZz]

Beyond stupid IMO.

I guess they don't wnt people overleveled for hardmode...
Still sucks though

 

[Orthogonal]

Do Legendary's decrypt to higher light now?

 

[Sane_Man]

God this is dumb. Back to Forza Horizon then.

 

[Pandora012]

So ugh anyone doing any Trails Light house semi carries? I'd like to see that lighthouse social space.

Do Legendary's decrypt to higher light now?

385

 

[jacobs34]

I guess I'm not playing Destiny today then. Would have been nice if they would have just stated this last night or this morning. Thanks Bungie.

 

[MythicReclaimer]

Yeah it is fucking dumb. I thought they released the patch earlier to give people time to increase their light before hard mode.

I think they even said/hinted at this in a previous weekly update.

[Ronzilla29]

PSA: Engram and drop LL increase won't happen till 5PM EST, hold on to your things till then.

Damnit traded in my exotic shoulders from xur last week already. All 5 385 when my raid ones are already 386.

 

[noomi]

The only reason the patch is being released early is to allow people time to download it before HM hits to give everyone a fair chance at world first (for those that care).

 

[MythicReclaimer]

Do Legendary's decrypt to higher light now?

Up to 385 LL but based on your current LL.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Seriously, holding back new LL stuff till 5pm EST is annoying

Almost whole day worth of Destiny wasted for no reason at all

All of the LL should've gone live at Reset

Then release Hard Raid @10am PST

Simple

Now everything is getting delayed pushed back by 30 minutes to a hour to just level up

 

[Hzoltan69]

Bungie keeps making the most infuriatingly stupid decisions.

Bungie is pretty nice. Waiting for me to come home after work lol

385

I saw it in year 2. It isn't all that special to be honest.

 

[Strider]

Bungie is pretty nice. Waiting for me to come home after work lol

Bungie is pretty mean. Waiting until I have to leave...

 

[Mindlog]

Some of those changes....
It would have been nice to know about them before the mandatory update. Keeping it secret wasn't that important.

 

[Melchiah]

Patch Notes:

Fixed an issue where Rare Special Weapon Engrams would sometimes decrypt into Legendary Primary Weapons

Fixed an issue where Agonarch Runes were not charging due to the same Taken Major spawning in the Dreadnaught Patrol

Noooo! to the first, and yes! to the second.

Regarding the past holiday consumables, does that mean I can finally delete all of them?

 

[all of my hate]

Hm. Looks like no Trials for me until next year.

Bungie is pretty nice. Waiting for me to come home after work lol

I know, right? Not saying I prefer it but damn, this is prefect timing for me.

 

[Midas]

Bungie keeps making the most infuriatingly stupid decisions.

Yeah, they made so many good things with Rise of Iron and now this. And the raid going live four hours after the patch? Come on...

 

[wesleyshark]

Yeah it is fucking dumb. I thought they released the patch earlier to give people time to increase their light before hard mode.

They don't want people to be 400 by the exact time heroic drops I guess. It makes the "world's first dynamic" a little more interesting haha

Plus I don't get home until 330pm EST. So that gives me time to do some stuff around the house before I need to worry about light and raiding. 👌

Incredibly stupid

 

[commish]

Come on guys. Let's get some perspective. Think about what you are actually so upset about.

 

[all of my hate]

They don't want people to be 400 by the exact time heroic drops I guess. It makes the "world's first dynamic" a little more interesting haha

Which is only going to matter for all of but a couple hours.

 

[shermas]

My login screen still shows 2.4.0.3.... I'm guessing I don't have the patch yet?

 

[Chase Lebowski]

What about the artifacts trophy?

 

[Xion385]

So we can decrypt legendary engrams just fine right now or do we have to wait until 2 PM?

 

[Dalek]

Fixed an issue where the Trespasser did not require an Exotic Shard to Infuse
