Hey, I was wondering if the Vault of Glass' rewards are limited to a Weekly timeframe like the Weekly Heroic Strikes and Nightfall.

And if so, what is limited? Thanks.

Still getting infinite revives tho.
it's OP regardless, he almost gets a kill with melee on revive without even using one grenade

it's crazy batshit op with Voidfang

i don't see how anyone who has spent any time playing a Sunsinger can fail to see how extraordinarily advantageous this is. i guess it's fair to think it's not a big deal if you're perfectly okay with getting killed by people abusing it. it's an exploit. it's very, very obviously not intended.

You get that by pushing the respawn button too...

The glitch isn't activating Radiance though, he's just respawning where he died normally w/o Radiance being activated. He gets 2 grenades from the armor.

It's a neat trick, but w/o Radiance being active on the respawn, it's too cumbersome to be effective...
 
Won't happen. They are currently PS exclusives.

so that means it's not possible to have different offers for each platform?

does the revive remove points that the opposing team got for the kill?

The full Sunbro's melee is close to one hit kill (it kills after some seconds with the burn)... every time I revive I use my melee first to deal with the near enemy.

You do not respawn unexpectedly in the exact spot you died by pressing the respawn button.

yes and the glitch isn't activating radiance. he can THEN choose to pop radiance, or not, and revive again.
It's a neat trick, but w/o Radiance being active on the respawn, it's too cumbersome to be effective...
you're saying even with voidfang? spawning right where you died with grenade ready and full super bar, too cumbersome to be effective let alone OP?

i feel like I'm taking crazy pills. everybody calling for bladedancer nerfs for its intended design, shotguns and fusion rifles and suros all called OP despite their accessibility by any class, yet this obviously unintended subclass glitch is dismissed as no big deal?
lol by time bring up the ability menu of PS3 you'd have been force respawned.
lol well problem solved for PS3 users I suppose ._.

That depends on how important Bungie would think that was.

My guess is that it would not be perceived to be worth the effort and the loot table/offers are the same across platforms.

So I was thinking if the items Xur has for sale every weekend are somewhat RNG too...but I just read the Bungie tweet about "evening the score" and selling the suros again so it can't be random right?

Ok so WHY IN THE FUCK would you have Armamentarium twice in a row but this week's has way better stat roll? I don't even play Titan I don't even HAVE a Titan but I wanted to make one in the future....maybe. So I bought it last week. Also voidfang again? I just can't comprehend some of the decisions bungie is making even though this is just small stuff it's fucking annoying and it makes it seem like they are just straight up fucking trolls.
 
Ran into a guy farming that small area on Mars patrol right near the spawn in.

Followed him into two separate areas where the chests were hidden, and he zoomed right past them.

Sound gives them away. I can enter a large room where a chest might be, and if I dont move for a second I know if there's one in the room instantly.
older people can't hear certain frequencies anymore. I can't hear anything when near a chest.

ARRRRRRGH!!! My worst nightmare. Suros for sale and I only have 18 strange coins. I have not done the Nightfall, do I get coins for it? What are the odds of me getting 5 more before he leaves?

Does it indicate if you have done the weekly on the Bungie Site? I can see where I have raided, is there an indicator for weeklies?

Can you get strange coins from tiger strikes?

Is there anyone here who's played extensively with Titan and Warlock?

Which do you find has the most efficiency and potential in pvp?

but they're not the same, you have all the PS exclusive stuff in the loot tables already. 9x pieces of gear, 2x exotics, and 3x ships

It's a long way off before I start wearing it permanently, but Alpha Lumi + Strength of the Pack + Chatterwhite looks incredible.

The best way to you is do the Nightfall and after start the Strike playlist... you will win Engrams (that can convert to coins) and coins.

3 is not that hard to get... I think in one or two hours of strike you will get.

Nightfall is a random chance for them, it's worth doing either way, hell you could get suros from it. Do the nightfall, lol.

There's also the weeklies on Alts if you have any?

And yes, there's a chance of getting coins from the engrams in tiger strikes, yeah. I bet you can get 5 before he leaves if you have the time. Good luck to you!
 
So Suros being in stock was by design?

Kinda funny after Bungie "complained" how AR's are too used in PvP etc.

Well if you can't balance it.... give everyone access to the same OP stuff.

Not a great "solution", but realistically they're never going to be able to balance it.

Your whole post is nonsense. First why would they randomize Xur? That's silly. Next they've had Warlock Sunbreakers for half the time he's sold things, it's so common it's a running gag. And lastly it's all optional. Some people don't have or miss certain things, him selling them again helps us. Look at all those who want Gjalahorn again, myself included. That's how life is as a whole : You buy things, better ones come out. Considering you're not using a black and white tv to play Destiny you should be happy.

People bitch about the dumbest things. Smh

The problem is the maps. Even if you give it greater damage fall off at long range and make it a mid range specialist only, the majority of encounters in pvp favour mid range weapons.

We need some open maps like blood gulch so precision weapons like scouts, snipers, hand cannons, and even pulse rifles can dominate instead (not that you can't use those already, but map design definitely favours AR/shotgun/fusion arm).

Gonna repeat the Thorn bounty is fucking stupid. The first two steps weren't a problem but the last two is idiotic. What a jump in difficulty.

I'm at work so nope. You need to invite me anytime after 6PM EST. Apparently, no one likes to play PVP whenever I want to play it, lol

I usually play during the day and it's the same thing. Need more crucible players on my friends list :/
 
What is QA Testing? I asked someone at Bungie but they didn't know what I was talking about.

To be fair, this is one of those bugs that you can't really know it exists by looking for it. It's one of those things somebody accidentally stumbled upon and went "oh shit", not something somebody reasonably could imagine was possible just by sitting and thinking about it.

How, realistically, can you expect this to have been found during testing? Maybe I don't understand QA very well, but expecting every single bug to be found and addressed prior to release is a little naive. Getting millions of players into your game is the biggest QA test, and it happens with every game.

radiance scorch is a ohko unless there's an overshield. you don't respawn with radiance active with this exploit though, so he didn't get the kill with the scorch hit, used it and then followed up with a grenade...
does the revive remove points that the opposing team got for the kill?
no way, "true" fireborn doesn't do that either. that would actually make the crucible unplayable.

well of course xur is random. I have no idea what to believe about the suros. I really don't think you can take this tweet from bungie as saying they picked it but obviously items can roll multiple times in a row but with different stats, which points to totally random inventories, right?
