oooooh buddy. I can't tell you the number of hard mode pick up groups that are NEVER getting past templar now. They had enough problems getting through the first phase and then oracles was impossible with pugs if they didn't cheese it via sniper platforms.
I'm calling it now hard mode raid will FORCE people into level 30 before touching it for general groups after their tinkering.
also DAT subtle pocket infinity nerf. That was basically what allowed people to mow down waves of stuff.

My time playing this game will not be done until I get a Last Word.
I MUST HAVE IT.

But I heard the raid helmet only drops in hard mode.

Yeah, that splash damage through the relic shield is some BS. They need to fix the portals too. So glitchy.

It is annoying that they nerf these for PvE. Let people who want to have fun with that kind of op weapon have their fun.

Exotic helmets can replace raid helm for light level. We've consistently gotten them on xur too.
No fun allowed, you know that by now. But yes, I agree - it's a damn shame to have a cool weapon that will be useless essentially (in terms of taking up a slot the ice breaker had).

That's what I was thinking. It's been obvious since the game was released, but I was always under the initial impression that PVE was going to be the main focus of Destiny, not PVP. But when they make changes that affects weapons in all modes, I find that to be kind of lame.
I doubt there's anyone who's hardcore enough to do the Raid, earn the Vex, and not take it into multiplayer, but it would be nice if the overpowered weapons could stay OP'd in single player and have tweaks made to them in multiplayer.
I'm not a fan of the all or nothing approach.

Someone join my level 28 weekly heroic so I can get coins on my alt. Boss is basically dead. Level 28 preferably coz you better not die. You'll collect too if you haven't done it.

I can understand cheesing the fight on hard mode, but I've been in groups where they've wanted to cheese it on normal, when it makes no sense to. Normal is easy as fuck.

On hard any fuck up there would be instant death for you and with no rez, likely everyone else.
1)Get splash damage by boss more than once- Everyone's Dead
2)Let harpies take over- Everyone's dead
3) Fuck up your detain and jump out of it or something- Everyone's dead
Well, the Vex got nerfed before I got to get one and abuse it :/ I still love my Last Word, though. If I'm understanding correctly (from the times I've used it) headshots do bonus damage when in a gunfight with your opponent. Precision damage also gets boosted from the hip.
Exactly. Bungie always do this - it never fails. From Halo 3 to Reach and now Destiny. Weapons were ruined due to changes that weren't needed. They could've even banned the Mytho from PVP and left it alone for PVE. Their original design intention for the weapon was to be something powerful and sought after. Now it will be shelved in the vault.
Hopefully I am overreacting and it's still useful tomorrow, but we'll see.

I just want an Exotic Hand Cannon beside the Thorn. I really dislike Thorn for PVE.
Time Breaker. Still I am sad I lost Vex on my to do list.

did they remove the fallen from rocket yard entirely or just that "loot cave"?
Take me! PSN: Streakydude (I can solo it too but at the very least, having the checkpoint is good enough.

So I guess jumping to the off-platforms in the Templar fight will be off-limits?
Same here. All I need is raid/exotic gloves to hit 30, but why would I want to hit 30? To play the raid that I'm going to get nothing out of? No thanks, Bungie.
I think this is where I slow down on Destiny. Start working on my backlog. I still have to beat TLOU:R. Can't wait for bloodborne. That's going to be a time sink for sure. If I still had DS2, I'd play the DLC to hold me over, but sadly, I dont ;_;
Is that MIDA Multi Tool exclusive to VoG aswell? I'd love to get that one hopefully Xur will carry it someday.
I'm very excited to try my 2 Legendary Scout Rifles. They were great before and they will be even better now. Wonder if they are viable in PVP though, the AR nerf isnt that bad and I doubt it will stop the dominance.

The Templar nerfs are stupid because it doesn't make the fight easier at all to have people on the hobgoblin platforms or to ball up on the starting ledge with the relic. In fact, people on the platforms are basically screaming "please shoot me" to the other hobgoblins, and are also in a bad spot to see half of the oracles. Meanwhile, the everyone-ball-up-at-the-top-with-the-relic strategy is funny, but takes way longer than a normal fight and also risks an easy wipe if everyone balls up and gets shot or if the relic carrier is bad at managing his cleanse, since you'll only be able to shoot maybe half of the relics from up there.
Plus, there's the other aspect of it, which is Bungie sending signals that no, you will play everything in Destiny exactly the way we say, which kills community development. I dunno, I'm grumpy and I tweeted about it in depth.

Actually along those lines folks are thinking of... What point is there to hard other than epeen after this?
1)Helmets- Can be replaced with an Exotic...
2)Vex Myhoclast- Possibly as good as a suros now??
Everything else... Double shards for the week for far more effort?

Yeah I think I prefer the old gun skill trees better tbh.
Anyone seen this stuff posted on Reddit from someone claiming to be a tester The Dark Below Expansion? I'll spoiler it just in case it turns out to be real.
