% 34 Damage reduction, according to Bungie' s patch notes.

Is that just PvP, or across the board?

 

[LiK]

so long as Handcannons and Scout rifles didnt get a nerfing, I'll be ok

SR got buffed, be happy

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Is that just PvP, or across the board?

Across the board.

 

[Orthogonal]

Yes, got my first Exotic Bounty. Chose "A Dubious Task". When completing 5 strikes without dying, does it have to be consecutive or just 5 total?

 

[Geneijin]

Suros is better than Vex. This shouldn't be happening. I hate Bungie.

Look at this shit.

And Suros is still untouched. That investment from Xur is still paying off :lol

 

[super-famicom]

Across the board.

 

[broony]

Holy shit. Just did a kill the target bounty in patrol and it was an archon priest. New activities!

 

[Insaniac]

wait, is Raid on Hard gonna be tougher with the fix i just read here? What is kill volume?

Kill volume i believe is an "out of bounds" timer that will kill you after x seconds

any.

ah shit, that sucks.

Yeah you can't use that spot to cheese, I think. But you can just do it on the top most platform from where you jump down and where everyone spawns. Just have one guy jump down, get the relic and make his way back up through some good jumps.

Same method to cheese the Templar after that.

oh good, glad i beat it before they patched that in. even the cheese wasn't that easy. Bungie ya fuckers

[Patroclos]

It randomly turns off while playing and will not turn on. The only way to bring it back to life is to unplug the HDMI cable, then plug it back in after the white light comes on. I've tried multiple cables and TV ports to the same result. Even then it is only a matter if time before it dies again (anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours). Not an ideal situation when trying to raid, etc.

My biggest problem I don't want to be without it for 2 weeks and miss things in Destiny. Despite the issues I greatly enjoy playing lol.

Sounds like the problem I had. Google hitting it on your knee. Seriously, apparently sometimes the power brick comes unseated in the vertical position or if you move it frequently. Mine would give me a blue light and attempt to turn on but would go off immediately I unhooked all cables except the power and plugged them in when it came on and have not had an issue in 2 weeks.

If you are sending it in wnay way the knee trick can't hurt... lol. Good luck.

 

[trh]

Yeah I'm not gonna play this game anymore, ridiculously unrewarding doing the raid for an entire month and I'm not getting jack shit. Don't see the point anymore.

Is that just PvP, or across the board?

Across the board.

 

[Auto_aim1]

And yet that video is mostly him just wrecking people even if they get the jump on him. I'll withhold my tears for now.

He also uses a Suros in that video and it does a way better job of killing people.

And Suros is still untouched. That investment from Xur is still paying off :lol

I missed that but got it during a raid today. I know where to put all my ascendant energies now.

??

Didn't they also make it where if the relic holder isn't in the bottom area the relic respawns down there?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

How do I get a Shadow Price with the Field Scout perk again?

 

[Bizazedo]

Holy shit. Just did a kill the target bounty in patrol and it was an archon priest. New activities!

If it was in the Cosmodrome, that happened pre-patch. It was rare, but you'd occasionally get him to crawl through the wall.

Caught me off-guard the first time.

 

[CREMSteve]

Suros is better than Vex. This shouldn't be happening. I hate Bungie.

Look at this shit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFIZ6ZGFx8k

Mytho still looks good to me.

 

[gatti-man]

For something a little different:

If you haven't read all the Grimoire cards, you might not know that they explain the origins of the Future War Cult and the fact that they likely either created the Exos or reverse engineered them. A summary from a poster on Bungie's forum:



It's also suggested (by the poster) that the Stranger could be using the device, time traveling around (explaining her brand of teleportation), and the pulse rifle she gives you is likely made with parts from the future.

I really hope bungie does somethinh with this. The game could be amazing if they push the story up front.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Across the board.

So it's no longer even a help to make repeat play throughs of the hard raid a little easier? Can't believe PvP bitching is effecting PvE. That had to be a first.

 

[sploatee]

Wow. The bad juju bounty was easy. I now have 6 exotic primaries. It's gonna take years to get all that XP.

 

[Bunta]

Someone had pointed out earlier that explosive rounds deal less precision damage. I tried it out on hard with my The Devil You Know, and while the damage is a bit less, the flinch is way too good to let go.

 

[Strider]

Yep. Totally loving the scout rifle buff. It was weird to out shoot people using a Suros with the VoC lol

 

[Johan Liebert]

??

Didn't they also make it where if the relic holder isn't in the bottom area the relic respawns down there?

Yeah come to think of it, I completed the raid just before the patch went live so I suppose that won't work anymore either

Gonna confirm when I do the hard raid later.

 

[super-famicom]

If you have alts, just have them equip the weapon when turning in bounties.

 

[Vespene]

I refuse to make alts of the same class.

We are raiding tonight dawg

It's funny how much Bungie overlooks details, and how often we (community) are right about this stuff. I am truly convinced they did not even bother testing the Vex before nerfing it to oblivion. Dumbest fucking shit I've ever seen. It's like winning a Ferrari, but you only get it with 3 tires.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Nah, they don't, at least not the weapons I check out at them regularly. Same guns, same perks, same price.

Mine didn't have the Glass Half Full and Field Scout and I checked earlier they're there

 

[Bold One]

SR got buffed, be happy

 

[Patroclos]

Just total. They can be easy even.

Proof explosive rounds do less damage to an individual target: http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2h2fp2/how_it_works_weapon_ability_explosive_rounds/

 

[DesertFox]

Exactly. So it no longer renders your victims completely defenseless.

Boo-fucking-hoo

For the record I don't agree with the PvE nerf. Should have been left alone in that department.

 

[Bunta]

Proof explosive rounds do less damage to an individual target: http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2h2fp2/how_it_works_weapon_ability_explosive_rounds/

I know, that's what they posted. I just like the flinch too much.

 

[sploatee]

I feel so lonely. Everyone else has a raid group except me. I never even get any invites.

(I can't do it this week anyway, but it's not the point).

 

[PointBlank_V]

Anyone up for Nightfall ? I'm at the Horde room [Refinery], would appreciate a second gun PSN is PointBlank_V

 

[Lima]

You loose the relic when you try to get to the starting area. So no more cheese. The fight is easy as hell though. Everyone groups up together as a 6 man group. Concentrate on taking out harpies and oracles and get cleansed if you are marked.

 

[super-famicom]

I know, that's what they posted. I just like the flinch too much.

Don't high caliber rounds also cause flinching?

 

[j_rocca42]

Can anyone help with thorn/xyor? Psn j_rocca42

 

[Bunta]

Don't high caliber rounds also cause flinching?

Yes, but my HC doesn't have that.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Does anyone want to run the nightfall and/or weekly herioc on hard tonight around 6pm PST?

got aetheons epi as well so it shouldnt be to bad a problem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFIZ6ZGFx8k

Lol at the guy in the video. The whole time it's

Even though he wasn't getting outgunned, it just turned into an even match between that and other higher 'class' guns. He was still on top of the leaderboard the whole time.

 

[Acorn]

Someone tell me the best method for void kills in pvp?

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Add me, I should be on around then. PSN is KINGofCRA5H-

 

[johnFkennedy]

And yet that video is mostly him just wrecking people even if they get the jump on him. I'll withhold my tears for now.

Exactly. This gun still dominates every other assault rifle in PVP. The Suros might have better damage but the Mythoclast has a higher rate of fire so they're pretty much on even footing. I still can't compete with these guys with my rare assault rifle.

 

[Geneijin]

I missed that but got it during a raid today. I know where to put all my ascendant energies now.

Nice. You'll enjoy it. I haven't used the Suros since the patch, but I don't think there will be a significant change.

Mytho still looks good to me.

Dude hasn't even fully upgraded the damage on the Mytho either (274 vs 300 Suros)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFIZ6ZGFx8k#t=112

 

[gutterboy44]

Uhhhh, the vex still looks pretty damn solid based on that video. I love how the guy is like... wow this sucks, as he casually kill streaks players who even have the drop on him. Lol at "got killed by a pistol" It's a fucking hand cannon bra, and us hand cannoners don't take kindly to your patronizing tone. I need to rewatch the earlier vex PvP vids, I think I forgot how ridic OP that was in PvP. If that is what it looks like post "massive nerf" I am glad they did it (in PvP that is. No need to nerf anything in PvE)

 

[LiK]

Someone tell me the best method for void kills in pvp?

what's so hard about this? just use void weapons to kill guys? special and heavy weapons?

 

[super-famicom]

Someone tell me the best method for void kills in pvp?

Void shotgun or fusion rifle and a void machine gun in Rumble.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Add me, I should be on around then. PSN is KINGofCRA5H-

you got it sir.

what you playing?

wont be able to send till I get home.

 

[Darryl M R]

How'd you like that Thorn that we scored yesterday?

Haven't gotten to use it much with the bonus effect but it's meh to me right now. How is it holding up for you?

 

[RMI]

Someone tell me the best method for void kills in pvp?

remember your grenades/melee attack that do void damage count too (if you have them). I haven't been able to get a decent shotty or fusion rifle since getting that bounty and I'm stuck on it now.
