The burn changes are a joke, now we get just 2x damage whereas enemies still inflict 3x

That was the whole point of Burn skulls. They were intended to work against you rather than for you.

lmao

how is it a joke
we get armor that has burn protection now!!!

lol

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

So they did not nerf lightning grenades? I fucking hate those things.

 

[Lnkn52]

Please guys, spoilers tags on the new exotics, please.

 

[Frostburn]

You can keep tabs from the app, I have mine in rest mode and am just watching it to make sure it's running okay.

How can you do this from the app? Does it take it out of rest mode when you connect to the PS4 from the app?

 

[serenewarfare]

I love the way the new map layout looks. So clean.

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

Networking

Reduced latency of kill notifications in Crucible
Improved damage validation systems to reduce the effectiveness of players with extreme lag
Improved accuracy of network quality meters slightly

Hope this is really noticeable.

These are the ones I'm keeping my eye on.

 

[FinKL]

Do we know the exotic perk?

Spoiler

Every precision hit, refills your current magazine with 1 bullet from your inventory. And I think Firefly or bonus dmg/accuracy I forgot

Rumble
Placing in the top 3 in Rumble playlists now counts as a win for Quest Step purposes

So glad I put off working on this. Sorry for all of you who did it already.

 

[Daemul]

So they did not nerf lightning grenades? I fucking hate those things.

They are so easily avoidable that there's no need to nerf them, I can't even remember the last time that I was killed by one of those.

 

[Future PhaZe]

rate of fire increase for pulse rifles?

noooo

Summary of the notes:

Year 1 perks were OP as fuck, gotta dial it down.

I'm happy everything is nerfed. Average time to kill when we started playing was about one second or a little more. Within the last year we've perfected our arsenals with the absolute optimal perk combination on every weapon class and ended up with 0.5s kills, which is bullshit and sucks and I won't miss it. Slower kills all around will make this a better game, and will make skill a more important factor than twitchy peek a boo.

As for Shotguns and outgoing elemental damage with the nerfs... can't blame them. The 100% buff to PvE shotgun damage trivialized PvE. You could run an entire strike with a shotgun out and wreck any Major up close in a second with no risk. Yellow bars used to mean something. You had to plan around them. Now it's like Found Verdict lol bye. They were more effective than Heavy Weapons, you can't seriously think they were in a balanced state.

I'm liking almost everything. Just wish TLW had some measure of compensation for the Aggressive Ballistics nerf. Let's hope the Year 2 version has some change in perks or base stats to offset the aggressive nerf it got.

God forbid we have fun against PVE enemies

Still need an OT title. Should go up in 60-90 minutes. Have to make some revisions.

Am going to keep the Taken King related stuff out for now and roll them out throughout the week.

[Willectro]

Please tell me Thorn got nerfed. The name should be changed to Crutch, if not.

 

[GustyGardens]

I'm anxious to get home and see the new stuff. I'm pretty anxious to try the new Crucible stuff. Were the Legendary Marks and Level Update supposed to be in this update, or were those not coming until the 15th?

 

[everyday math]

Bungie.net is down. Lol

 

[Defuser]

The only reason i could think of for bungie to nerf arcbolt grenades was due to trials. That thing could take out 3 enemies easily at the same time if you know what you are doing.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

The new Destiny splash screen is tight. This music too omg

They made them useless again that's the issue, I bet in 6 months they will buff them again.

I think it's a negative when they are doing it for PVE to such a degree and not in a postive way.

 

[nortonff]

Left my PS4 in rest mode, but I can feel that he's gonna wait for me to get home to start updating.

Spoiler

Please buddy don't do this to me.

FRONTIER SHELL ALREADY HAS PERKS YESSSS

 

[stb]

It doesn't appear that there's a way to check download status on PS4 remotely?

- without Vita
- for downloads you don't initiate remotely

i.e. I want to check to see if my PS4 is downloading the patch on its own...

God his notifications are obnoxious shit.

Also shame that Frontier Shell is garbage

 

[Theorry]

If you have slow download speeds on Xbox. Clear your mac adress.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

"Easily avoidable" is not what I would say. You can still get hit while you're in tight corridors.

 

[140.85]

Shotguns

Damage done against AI combatants reduced by 45% ( 2.25-> 1.15)

What the fuck.

 

[noomi]

Going into rest mode helped...

Went from 13 hours down to 26 minutes, about 80% done now.

GOGOGO

Emote preview!

 

[flkraven]

So....

•Year 1 Platform-exclusive maps (The Timekeeper, Exodus Blue) are now available to all Destiny players


No mention of the PvE stuff? Anyone know if us XB1 guys have the exclusive strikes?

 

[Raybunny]

Preview Emotes HYPE!

 

[Tecnniqe]

So Point gets replaced with other Emotes it seems

 

[BondFancy]

Do we know the exotic perk?

 

[lt519]

What the fuck.

Wondering why they completely undid the original buff, seems like they would have wanted to meet half way or something. Would love to hear what they have to say about that.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

this is so goddamned exciting

 

[AmateurHour212]

Oh my god. Those patch notes. Destiny is officially a new game, good lord. There's so much I just can't.

Sad about: Shotgun nerf in PvE, though I get it.

Happy about: pretty much everything else.


This is so great.

That's what I said while reading the notes. A new game.

What to use? My Monte Carlo is gonna rip now. awesome.

 

[mehrmantrout]

Put my PS4 in rest mode and it downloaded 274mb in an hour :d

 

[Skele7on]

How can you do this from the app? Does it take it out of rest mode when you connect to the PS4 from the app?

I meant website I'm a retard.

 

[ocean]

God forbid we have fun against PVE enemies

I'm all for fun, but I'm not sure how making yellow bars trivial makes the game fun

Like seriously, Found Verdict was more effective in PvE than any machine gun and any RL except maybe Gjallarhorn. Think of VIP kills in PoE: camp the entrance with shotguns out and they died before they took 3 steps out.

They went waaaay overboard with the buff. When a weapon class is just infinitely more effective than everything else by such a large margin you know somethings up

 

[robertlebrone]

You can't be serious.

For real. Arc bolt grenades were the only reason I ran Bladedancer. Not blink, not bladedancing, not quickdraw. Looks like a change to golden gun will be happening. I'll miss you lucky raspberry.

 

[stb]

Wait, will this thread remain open?

Yeah.

There will be an OT 30 that we'll move to when this fills, and Zoba's 2.0 thread will remain separate in Gaming.
