That Shotgun nerf is brutal but probably for the better even if I used them regularly.

Arc Bolt grenade nerf though? Why? :-( it never felt OP and is the only worthy grenade for the Bladedancer imo, this is bullshit :-/
RIP Lucky Raspberry.

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

Boo!

Argh... LOVED the burn Nfalls. Made them more like a speed run, so I get the change...

 

[Lnkn52]

Really liking how they are separating the nerfs/buffs between PvP and PvE.

R.I.P. Shotguns in PVE

I thought they were only going to reduce precision damage on shotguns, but they have reduced overall damage by 45% as well.

Fixed an issue where the incident for completing a strike (i.e., earning the "Strikes Introduction" grimoire card) was not triggering in Strike playlists

Thank god, I actually thought Bungie wanted us to play through a normal strike to get it.

 

[Hawkian]

oh yeah, there were six really important points at the end

• Cinematics can now be skipped
• Cinematics can now be skipped
• Cinematics can now be skipped
• Cinematics can now be skipped
• Cinematics can now be skipped
• Cinematics can now be skipped

all of them sound great.

It went down to 90mins, now its back to 3 hours. Wtf-.-
I have a 100k connection. Why can't I download with 12mb/s?

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

I think I might switch to Gunslinger.

 

[Skele7on]

no land beyond buff.

everything else, do not care about.

 

[KxoZz]

Everyone who needs Rumble wins for Grimoire will be very happy.

 

[Namikaze1]

Placing in the top 3 in Rumble playlists now counts as a win

Yes!!!!

for Quest Step purposes

Fuck! Why?!

 

[Error]

shotguns and handcannons got nerfed hardddddd. 45% less damage against AI with shotguns, no more cheesing Majors or Ultras enemies with shotguns

 

[border]

Is it me or is this list like 85% nerfs?

 

[Hawkian]

Everyone who needs Rumble wins for Grimoire will be very happy.

I'm a little salty as someone who plays Rumble the most and have had my win percentage tanked as a result, but whatever. I'm not a stats guy and it'll be more fun for me anyway.

edit: oh not for actual stats. whatevs

PvE shotgun nerf makes me sad.

It'll be okay. All three (four? o.o) special weapon types will have their place in PvE now.

GHorn nerf isnt TOO crazy...?

Quite modest IMO.

LOL RAMNERF.

hell to the fuck yes.

 

[xVaalbarAx]

Really liking how they are separating the nerfs/buffs between PvP and PvE.

Something I've been bitching about for 7 months. They should do the weapon balancing on different terms of PVE and PVP. This is the best patch I think I've read.

MEGATON. I may play Gunslinger more now!

DAMN DID SHOTGUNS GET WRECKED! They said only 10% against AI.

No Fun allowed

 

[noomi]

GG aggressive ballistics

Yup! And now it's 45%.... damnit man... c'mon!

I am very happy.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Don't like what they did to Aggressive Ballistics and Perfect Balance. The Last Word really sounds useless now. Thorn looks like it barely got nerfed outside of the Hand Cannon changes.

Everything else looks fine. I'm glad to see Bastion is back in Control.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

"Players now are required to participate in the boss fights to be eligible for end-of-activity loot."

No more afk...

 

[rasengan1337]

still an hour to go.
i'm tempted to log off my work laptop and close my VPN tunnel to eek out some more download speed.

 

[LiK]

Is it me or is this list like 85% nerfs?

yup

 

[FyreWulff]

"Enabled support for game content to be loaded from USB devices on Xbox 360"


up until now Destiny required an actual HDD to install to on 360. I'm guessing this means people are getting USB drives from Bungie if they don't have space for Taken King.

Update out!

Playlist streak bonuses are a cool idea too

 

[Mindlog]

Damage done against AI combatants reduced by 45%

Good.

Damage done against AI combatants increased by 30%
Damage done against AI combatants increased by 25%
Damage done against AI combatants increased by 5%
Damage done against AI combatants increased by 15%
Damage done against AI combatants increased by 5%

It's hard not to smirk.

My NL Shadow looks pretty strong.

Overpenetration perk now only works on bipeds

Thank you so much. I don't like the change, but being clear about it is the most important thing. Now we know for sure.

RIP

 

[KxoZz]

33% nerf to Wolfpack Rounds? I'm ok with this.

 

[jacobs34]

I feel vindicated for sticking with my Plan C for so long.

 

[xPhinehas]

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

Edit: I did the pause/unpause download thing, went from 22 hours to 88 min. Try that if you guys are having issues.

The DoT nerf will be noticeable...

 

[FinKL]

Is it me or is this list like 85% nerfs?

Yep,
-Ram
-Shotguns
-NF
-Nearly all weapon perks
-Cinematics getting it too!

 

[Trace]

NERFS EVERYWHERE

 

[border]

yup

Christ, they nerfed like every single weapon perk individually....

 

[MrDaravon]

Placing in the top 3 in Rumble playlists now counts as a win

Yes!!!!

for Quest Step purposes

Fuck! Why?!

This was my response lol. I'm hoping that it still counts for Grimoire purposes though, guess we'll find out in a few hours.

your avy matches the TLW disappointment lol

fucking finally.

 

[The Lamonster]

PS4 and X1 downloads going strong...wonder who will finish first

 

[Poker Face]

Guess no Monte Carlo, Hawkmoon, or Fourth Horseman until 9/15?

DOWNLOAD JUST FINISHED!!

 

[rNilla]

Those weapon perk nerfs though. Got damn.

 

[Trakan]

That Shotgun nerf is brutal but probably for the better even if I used them regularly.

Arc Bolt grenade nerf though? Why? :-( it never felt OP and is the only worthy grenade for the Bladedancer imo, this is bullshit :-/
RIP Lucky Raspberry.

You can't be serious.

 

[Namikaze1]

You're getting nerfed! And you're getting nerfed!

Everyone is getting nerfed!

 

[BondFancy]

Argh I knew it was unlikely, but I have to wait till next week for my chance at Hawkmoon Dx

 

[Twilight Gap]

your avy matches the TLW disappointment lol

My avatar is built for disappointments.

 

[KxoZz]

at 4.2/17.6 GB... still hovering at ~100min

 

[Theorry]

Nice getting into the k/bit on Xbox. Terrible...

 

[Monster Zero]

Hwhat did they do to fusion rifles. Horrible needing, they were already trash

 

[scarletham]

Christ, they nerfed like every single weapon perk individually....

Don't worry, they'll buff them all again in 2 months

 

[Blunoise]

Man I'm so doing story mode again today. Do you guys think pre taken king weapons will drop today?

 

[lt519]

Patch is super long way of saying "use the year two weapons"
