It's so good. HNNNGGGG

 

[Trakan]

[xVaalbarAx]

"Line attacks (Fist of Havoc Shockwave and Arc Blade Razor’s Edge) can now no longer penetrate Ward of Dawn"

Huge.

MEGATON

AR damage against AI 30%? Holy shit.

THE KING IS BACK

 

[Deku Tree]

I swear my PS4 better have downloaded this patch by the time I get home...

Destiny patches never start in rest mode for me, I always need to turn on my PS4 to get it to start downloading.... And yes I have auto download turned on.

 

[Anastasis]

Thought I had a solution with tethering my lighting fast LTE, but it shows a longer time than my much slower wired connection. Oh well, 4-5 hours it is.

 

[GreyWind]

Ah yeah! I would much prefer it if we could see more info on the Queue section such as speed, estimated time etc instead of just the %

Hopefully the new dashboard will change that. I don't like going to settings because it takes so long to load settings and then network :/

 

[ViciousDS]

Thorn dot base damage reduced my 33% huehuehue

 

[xPhinehas]

22 hour ETA!? Are you joking??? Last thing I DL'ed from PSN was 6 gigs and it took 30 min...

 

[Hale_C]

Google DNS applied, all applications closed, and paused then un-paused download until the timer showed 60 minutes. This "ritual" usually gets downloads moving with more gusto.

Oh my god, never heard of that Google DNS trick... just went from 2-3 mbps to a more respectable 10-ish... Glorious, breakneck speed! Thanks!

 

[Trakan]

Pulse Rifles against AI 25%? Hoooly shit.

 

[neoism]

Still nada for me, why you hate me Bungie!

i had to manually start it .. go to update on ps4 (press options on the tile) and it should start...

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

You can replay the story for more experience and reputation by looking at the Quest Collections in the Tower

!!!!!!

THE WEEK OF REP

 

[Hawkian]

Thorn dot base damage reduced my 33% huehuehue

Get scratched by thorn, run, survive, come back with a vengeance.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

New Questlines have been added for each Year One Subclass

NEW QUESTS RIGHT NOW

 

[xVaalbarAx]

Warlocks

[Tjamato88]

Are completed bounties still there? The IGN podcast said they wouldn't be saved.

 

[Scousefury]

Aggressive Ballistics nerfed by 50% and accuracy made even worse.. its like weapons might be balanced.

 

[Deku Tree]

Character Level Cap will be increased to 40 on 9/15 (requires The Taken King)

So people who don't buy TTK are stuck at level 34? No more weekly activities for you!

Holy shit that list is huge.

I don't like what I'm seeing with Year 1 Perks tho... :/

The boot-up screen for XB1 is hot. Anyone who wants it for a wallpaper here you go.

 

[Frenden]

[TheAquaticApe]

Incomplete Year 1 Bounties are auto-abandoned on 09/08 in preparation for The Taken King launch

So all those bounties I have stacked up are gone now?

 

[shermas]

PvE shotgun nerf makes me sad.

 

[noomi]

[Todesritter74]

Download speed has put on the brakes, rolled down the windows and deployed a parachute... Sigh.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Former Vanguard emblems are now unlocked at level 10 and 20 of their respective class quest chains

CLASS QUEST CHAINS

Most anticipated new thing is probably the Gunsmith. Will give me a push to try out new weapons that aren't my standards.

I guess they really want us to collect that burn damage reduction armor...

 

[ChanMan]

Wondering if I should start a female or male exo hunter looking forward to jumping back in I only have the Vanilla Destiny version no DLC.

 

[captscience]

Burn (Arc, Void, Solar) Skulls now only increases player damage by 2x (down from 3x). Combatant damage to player is unchanged at 3x.
