[Slammin_Hammon]

Looks like suros is the only year one exotic that gets different perks when upgraded to year two? Wtf?

 

[Trakan]

Fuck I just realized 4th Horseman isn't a weapon that's going to be upgradeable through TTK.

Fuck this shit. I don't even have it yet and it was my most wanted exotic. And with the Shotty nerf it's even worse. Fuck off Bungie.

Pretty sure it's going to Year 2 as the Xbox hasn't gotten to use it yet.

New raid LMG?

Probably gonna get buried, but for those still waiting to download, here's my sendoff to Year one. By request of the almighty Ocean, I've remixed my original video from last year with new clips.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH9PcHdC8To

It's been a pleasure playing with DestinyGAF. We've shared moments of excitement, raged at disappointments, and lost our minds over drama, and here we are on the other side ready to do it all over again.

And I don't think I'd have had it any other way.

Looking forward to playing with everyone again! Ya'll better buy that goddamn hammertime dance because the next montage is a community effort.

Twilight you crazy bastard sit on this for a day or two while the insanity subsides, we need to make this Movie of the Week

 

[SlenderBeans]

So i decided to spoil myself and look at all the new Exotic armor, and holy crap am I excited.

 

[Error]

I wonder if you can use stealth while having the spark in rift. if it's possible, bladedancers stay winning.

 

[WipedOut]

Anyone on Xbox One having slow ass speeds? I was going at 5-7mb now its dropped to 500k and I can't get it above after reboots.

28% after almost hour and 1/2

 

[EroticSushi]

So i decided to spoil myself and look at all the new Exotic armor, and holy crap am I excited.

Is there a list somewhere?

Buried it got, just noticed it.

Damn that intro gave me serious Firefly vibes. I kinda hatelove you for that

 

[Deku Tree]

So 5k bounties are now 3k

And donations give 50 rep each.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Welp exotics just got even more rarer.

Spoiler

They now have random perks like a chest armor would either have void, arc, or solar damage reduction

Not really a fan of this. I'm sure it makes sense in the long run...I guess.

 

[Hawkian]

Perk on a new exotic warlock helm:


Blink saved?

Interesting. Warlocks don't have the associated nerfs in the notes either it seems, but they also don't have quickdraw

The what?

Blink movement ability activation delay increased by 0.07 seconds (0.26 seconds to 0.33 seconds)
Blink movement ability visuals now changed to better telegraphing direction: clearer activation FX and trail FX

Also these are so badass for Arc Nightfalls

Arc Blade can now generate up to 6 Orbs when geared with exotic armor that increase orb spawning rates
Blink Strike now does Arc Damage

 

[140.85]

Wow, they really destroyed all of the Year One weapon perks. That was a bit unnecessary.

This is my favorite:

"Speed Reload: Reduced reload bonus by 80%"

LOL

 

[noomi]

snip

It's been a pleasure sir, also very nice video

 

[LTWood12]

According to the armory the Crucible Handler will sometimes sell the legendary swords.

Blink was barely touched, thats only gonna make it more OP.

 

[SgtCobra]

Getting The Jade Rabbit will be a torment that I'll greatly enjoy.

 

[chur]

First hour with rest mode: 1.5 GB downloaded

Second hour without rest mode: 7.8 GB downloaded

 

[lt519]

So 5k bounties are now 3k

And donations give 50 rep each.

So 50 heavy ammo packs per rep level? Not bad. Might burn through like 3 levels when TTK drops just using packs alone.

[xplicitone]

Because of the Web scraping I did, I switched back to 50ppp and it's screwing with me with the amount of pages this is going through. So so fast. I can't even imagine next week

 

[willow ve]

Anyone on Xbox One having slow ass speeds? I was going at 5-7mb now its dropped to 500k and I can't get it above after reboots.

Haveing the same problem. Had a great connection for awhile. Then the download dropped back to "queued" then it starts to download again but it only advances in small chunks.

Watching the real time traffic manager graph on my router is painful. Still at 7%

 

[Darknyss09]

Looks like 5k bounties have been changed to 3k and give less rep too.

 

[Messiek]

Getting The Jade Rabbit will be a torment that I'll greatly enjoy.

Getting everything will be a torment I'll greatly enjoy : )

 

[Shito]

Gjallarhorn
Reduce damage of Wolfpack Rounds by roughly 1/3

Haha, I love how even in the detailed, final, patch notes, they still don't give an exact value for the Horn nerf.

 

[140.85]

Bungie's Logic : Nobody uses shotguns in pve ? ok, we buff them for you.

Wait, what? Most of pve players use them now ? Nerf them by 45%.


:/

Also, Nobody uses Fusion rifles anymore? Let's do almost nothing to change that. Haha

 

[StrongBlackVine]

According to the armory the Crucible Handler will sometimes sell the legendary swords.

I thought all swords had to be forged? No drops, but you can buy them? Seems backwards if true.

 

[PuMa]

This is my favorite:

"Speed Reload: Reduced reload bonus by 80%"

LOL

Seriously. Everything is a huge reduction. Just...why? They really want us to scrap all our old stuff to get that newly dangled carrot, I guess.

 

[saveweyard]

That Heroic Raid ship. Hnnng

 

[purg3]

DAT ORYX SHIP

 

[VE3TRO]

28% after almost hour and 1/2

Approaching 2 hours and not even 10%. My internet is slow but its not even achieving the speeds I should be getting. Should have easily done 10% in about 20-30 minutes so probably Live taking a hammer.

Haveing the same problem. Had a great connection for awhile. Then the download dropped back to "queued" then it starts to download again but it only advances in small chunks.

Watching the real time traffic manager graph on my router is painful. Still at 7%

Haha I'm also looking at my graph meter on the router. It's now dropped to 122 Kbps..

 

[Trakan]

Holy shit. New Titan exotic gauntlets. Melee kills recharge Fist of Havoc.

https://www.bungie.net/en/Armory/Detail?type=item&item=155374076&itemname=Thagomizers

 

[noomi]

I thought that there was supposed to be a short period of where you couldn't fire your weapon after blinking after 2.0....

 

[PuMa]

Vex Mythoclast
Projectile Speed increased to compensate for global Fusion Rifle changes
Stability increased to compensate for global Fusion Rifle changes

Hello, old friend. Time to dust you off for some crucible action again.

 

[2real4tv]

They nerfed both of them, the problem is like the mini-Blink nerf they only put it under the Bladedancer tree.



Thermal is Firebolt.

Was hoping for reduction in performance of Axiom grenade and Viking funeral.

 

[Twilight Gap]

thanks guys :3

Zoba, amazing video! Those transitions were super smooth

some of them blew my mind while I was editing them. just happened to line up.

 

[Wolvesinthebathroom]

Spoiler for a perk on one of the Titan exotic helms:

Spoiler

Primary Perks


Air Traffic Control

All Rocket Launchers gain tracking, radar remains visible while zooming with Heavy Weapons, and Heavy Ammo drops increase when using a Rocket Launcher.

This should be fun.

Damn, that's pretty OP.

 

[Daemul]

Holy shit. New Titan exotic gauntlets. Melee kills recharge Fist of Havoc.

https://www.bungie.net/en/Armory/Detail?type=item&item=155374076&itemname=Thagomizers

The Striker already has a perk that does that, which is useless because of the Titans terrible melee range.

 

[LiK]

Was hoping for reduction in performance of Axiom grenade and Viking funeral.

no worries, there will always be time for more nerfs.

 

[Ghazi]

Haha, I love how even in the detailed, final, patch notes, they still don't give an exact value for the Horn nerf.

I have a value for you: roughly 33%

 

[mehrmantrout]

Approaching 2 hours and not even 10%. My internet is slow but its not even achieving the speeds I should be getting. Should have easily done 10% in about 20-30 minutes so probably Live taking a hammer.

1.8gb on a 40mb connection

 

[Klyka]

How can anyone call that a "Blink Nerf"?

0.07 seconds? Really?

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Cmon only 3 gigs left. Speed it up psn.

 

[ocean]

thanks guys :3

Add This to the gaming side thread so non believers can taste the hype

 

[Z3M0G]

New ship hotness.

Question: Will I still be able to get the HoW ship if I didn't get it yet???

 

[ViciousDS]

Quest system is straight and to the point also has some extra dialogue in the quest box that I've never seen. Maybe they will fill in the blanks via the quests now to fill in how bad 1.0's story was.

All O am so enjoying this it is weird having light at level 1 because of the new system though lol

 

[Hawkian]

The shotgun nerf was the reason I first quit Destiny way back when, when Universal Remote was my only Exotic.

Seriously, Bungie needs to fuck off with their Big Brother 'DON'T USE SHOTGUNS' shit. Like....they just constantly shit on shotguns. Instead of fixing the extreme cases(Felwinter, those stupid shotty perks they introduced), they instead just do a blanket nerf.

I'm salty as fuck Hawk.

I don't really care, and shotguns did need a blanket nerf because getting max range ones was trivial as of HoW, and getting near-max ones was trivial for always, but I think you're operating on faulty information anyway.

eh?

 

[PuMa]

How can anyone call that a "Blink Nerf"?

0.07 seconds? Really?

I think they got their wires crossed on the Shotgun and Blink nerfs.

 

[Mindlog]

The thing is that buff was compensating for the fact that they neutered the range.

They tried to neuter the range, but we can hit the same distances now.
However, they buffed damage so hard the we can go for RoF without any worries. Dry Rot is a PvE monster and Final Verdict is still a very effective combination of both.
