I just realized that my purchase of 10 rare fusion rifles was a total waste.

 

[Vespene]

I remember seeing this last year and had totally forgotten about it.

The lies in this presentation are truly remarkable.

 

[ocean]

Raid - Vault of Glass
Templar Encounter
Kill volume added to sniper platforms to prevent players from sitting on top of them

Interesting they didn't touch Atheon though; Bungie is OK with cheese confirmed.

 

[milkham]

whats a kill volume?

 

[Juraash]

Really love the buff that Scout Rifles are getting. Not too shocked about the Mythoclast nerfs but I was a little surprised to seem them change Pocket Infinity. I didn't see nearly as many complaints about that one.

 

[neoism]

Awwwwww yisssssssss

LULZ

 

[JHall]

However there is one part of the update that I don't see people talking about here:



Bungie making us play the game there way confirmed.

People who have played a Bungie game before should be used to this. It's always been Bungie's way or the highway.

 

[_woLf]

Stability changes on auto rifles really worry me since my Atheon auto rifle already was very shaky. Combine that with the pretty heavy crit damage nerf and it may be pretty useless compared to other more stable auto rifles

Also that vex mythoclast nerf, that thing is just straight up useless now. Sad that they're fixing the templar easy method but not the Atheon cheese method..

 

[CornDogg]

Interesting they didn't touch Atheon though; Bungie is OK with cheese confirmed.

They must only like certain types of cheese. Cheddar = good, muenster = bad?

 

[figadapaura]

Jeez. I still want it.

guess we'll find out tomorrow

 

[zewone]

Harder to fix?

 

[zarnold56]

LFG to do level 22 weekly strike. Level 24 sunsinger warlock, PSN Zarnold56

 

[SlenderBeans]

I'm honestly kind of glad they're getting rid of raid cheese. Cheese is boring.

 

[blackflag]

Fuck yes to that Mythoclast damage nerf! Also good news for the Scout Rifles, especially since I got the MIDA Multi-Tool yesterday.

I got one this week too. I hope it's enough. Doesn't really sound like it. They need a lot of help to be at all useful.

 

[darthbob]

Atheon cheese strat nerf soon.

 

[Namikaze1]

Lol I'm done. I'm done with the raid. Tonight's my last.

 

[squidyj]

"Increased Precision Damage multiplier from 1.25 -> 1.50 (headshot bonus)"

Aim for their belly.

okay...

before a vex mytho did 100% damage with a 1.25 multiplier on 'crit' for 125% damage

now it does 66% damage with a 1.5 multiplier for 99% damage on crit

99% is still 21% less damage than 125%
125% is still 26% more damage than 99%.

 

[Diablohead]

I wonder how much in-air handgun accuracy was added, i've had some lucky pot shots in the past, might get more now.

 

[Shinigami no Mori]

Get out of my head! I was just about to post this O_O

 

[Twilight Gap]

why can you jump to the platforms if they're not supposed to be playable space?

 

[figadapaura]

"Increased Precision Damage multiplier from 1.25 -> 1.50 (headshot bonus)"

No shit.

 

[Juraash]

I'm honestly kind of glad they're getting rid of raid cheese. Cheese is boring.

I haven't done the raid yet, but I'm kinda with you on this one, at least for the raid. I just wonder how long it'll be before they tweak the cheese spots in strikes so you can't reliably solo Nightfall content.

 

[lunlunqq]

Shoot! They really nerfed the mythoclast! I haven't tried it myself...:'(

 

[E92 M3]

I am unhappy they just straight up nerfed the Vex for PVE. What's the point of having a secret, fun weapon? So now Suros will be best again? Bungie really is no fun allowed. They could've just adjusted the PVP and left PVE. These changes scream impulse due to "community outrage".

 

[NaturalHigh]

That AR nerf shouldn't hurt my Suros damage too much. Thank god since it is the only primary I use in real situations.

 

[Diablohead]

Wait were people in here cheesing the vault of glass boss? the templar robot thing is by no way hard at all you don't need to cheese it or camp on the pillars on the edges.

For shame gaf.

 

[GrizzNKev]

Even though you all probably think I hate Destiny now...

I want to do the hard raid tonight. Level 29 Hunter, PS4. Any takers?

 

[ComputerMKII]

Lol I'm done. I'm done with the raid. Tonight's my last.

I had fun playing with you

 

[squidyj]

they nerfed the badass weapon I was dreaming about for PvP reasons.... fuck the crucible.

 

[darthbob]

No shit.

It was a joke, jeesh.

 

[Gav47]

I'm just about to drop into the final boss area on the weekly heroic at 28, add me if you need it, PS4 Gav8in

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

If you dont mind a level 27 hunter, I will be able to reach level 28 if we get to the first chest assuming I get 3 ass shards, I am down. for PS4 right?

 

[Diablohead]

why can you jump to the platforms if they're not supposed to be playable space?

you can do a LOT of exploring in the valut, they probably planned it like that but not to hide there in battles.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Strikes I kind of don't care, because Strikes are, let's be honest, boring compared to the raid.

After doing the raid both the legit way, and cheesing it, I much prefer doing it the legit way. I feel way more accomplished, and it's more fun that way. Sure, it's harder, but it's SUPPOSED to be hard.

"I don't cheese bosses therefore NO ONE should be allowed to do it"

Oh, I cheese them. I just find it extremely boring and not fun at all.

 

[Cømet]

Next step- whinge to high heaven til all FRs are nerfed. Now ARs are done, they're the most OP weapon crucible.



Not like I can really be bothered with PvP any more anyway.

 

[saveweyard]

Have a checkpoint at the gatekeepers on hard raid. Need 4 more. PSN is same as gaf name.

And RNGesus sees all and rewards you appropriately. See PvP rewards.

You're gonna need to be 29. My team of 28s got thoroughly stomped at the Templar section.

 

[Raxus]

Atheon cheese strat nerf soon.

We should label more things as exploits. Maybe then Bungie will get around to fixing it sooner.

Hey Bungie when are you going to fix the Atherton shield exploit where people get damaged in the shield?

 

[Trakan]

There's not even a point to hard raid anymore.

 

[E92 M3]

The Suros will be the strongest weapon again. It's just so frustrating when Bungie makes these dumb nerfs which lead to useless weapons. 34% is huge....thanks a lot PVP because of crucible the PVE people can't have fun with unique weapons.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

You're gonna need to be 29. My team of 28s got thoroughly stomped at the Templar section.

Damn I was hoping I could sneak in doing it on hard before the nerfs :/

 

[DesertFox]

That AR nerf shouldn't hurt my Suros damage too much. Thank god since it is the only primary I use in real situations.

The crit nerf will surely hurt it, no?

 

[zewone]

29 is definitely the minimum for hard raid. And even 29 is lacking.

 

[SlenderBeans]

There's not even a point to hard raid anymore.

Double the loot? That's a pretty good reason. Especially if you need the Energies and Shards.

 

[GrizzNKev]

There's not even a point to hard raid anymore.

There's no point to anything, but I want to do it at least once before quitting.

 

[ERMint13]

What does it matter if people cheese it? Who cares?

It doesn't change the fact if you want to beat it the normal way. No way forces players to cheese the first boss.

 

[zewone]

There's not even a point to hard raid anymore.

Helmets. Fatebringer.

 

[ComputerMKII]

There's not even a point to hard raid anymore.

Yep. I didn't even plan to use the Mythoclast in PvP, I just hoped to have it so PvE would be easier. Now there's really no point.

In fact I don't even see a point to play Destiny anymore, as it seems I've already done all there was to do (I'm level 30).
