XP distribution across all activities has been rebalanced. Don't freak out.

But we need some reason to insult Bungie Ghaleon else what are we to do?

Failing that; I'll go for the classic, very real complaint : Sony servers whyyyy 5 hours left

 

[Twilight Gap]

Sounds like year 2 is year of the titan.

 

[Afrocious]

zoba, i'd check out your vid if it wasn't for my 18gb download that couldn't start without me

mfw

 

[Darknyss09]

Patch removed 600 cryptarch rep on each character for some reason.

Had all characters edged pre-patch... weird.

Anyone's download on XB1 stuck? The installation won't restart at 36%

Story of my life. I don't get how this works.

 

[BondFancy]

Skipping 2 hours of programming to get my destiny on, no fucks given!

 

[Shito]

This is one of those things that looks bad in isolation but is probably fine in context.

-Nightfalls no longer boot to orbit on wipe.
-Armor with burn resistances are part of TTK. Guessing they reduce the burn to 2x, to match our damage output.

Oh, yeah, you're right about the second part: this is to promote that new perk.
STILL.
Burns will be a bit less fun now, and it will also make the transition a bit harder for those old elemental primaries; I was expecting them to still be kicking ass during burns, but now less so...
Oh well, we'll adapt.

 

[DjRalford]

The second one is getting all the bandwitdh.

Their on gigabit Ethernet from the same router with a 150MB connection.

The quick one is certainly not downloading using all my bandwidth otherwise it would have been done in 20 minutes

Yeah, we're all stuck. Looks like someone at Microsoft didn't realize there were a shit ton of people who would want the 17 GB patch at the SAME TIME.

My traffic monitor bandwidth graph is just filled with peaks and valleys. It feels like download over the original Napster all over again.

Yeah, people need to stop freaking out about bullet points in isolation and look at the changes to the whole.

Or maybe just try playing it before spazzing.

 

[LTWood12]

See the new Trials weapons. They look neat.

 

[boredofcanada]

Ok well then I feel better then. Was worried it's my Xbox.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

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.

It is, its even showing in the armory on Bungie.net as having a 2.0 version.

 

[WipedOut]

Bungie nerfed xb1 downloads. Lol

Nightfall bonus 'taken' away.

-Armor with burn resistances are part of TTK. Guessing they reduce the burn to 2x, to match our damage output.

Agreed. Ultimately (with the right gear), it will basically be 2x for both sides. Increased damage, but not as quick/easy the first year nightfalls. I'm sure Bungie wasn't very happy seeing valus ta'aurc killed in 3 seconds with Gallys

 

[Hawkian]

I've only spoiled a few for myself as of now but so far I gotta say I am really pleased with the quality and number of new exotics that seem to be available.

I am particularly hyped that we can acquire

Spoiler

Exotic Swords of each element type

Lots of good things in there, but this is some real bullshit.

We'll see, but this must be a direct address to the addition of damage-reducing armor and the elimination of the Nightfall orbit penalty.

 

[Z3M0G]

First hour with rest mode: 1.5 GB downloaded

Second hour without rest mode: 7.8 GB downloaded

So glad I told my GF to leave the system on after starting the download for me...

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

bump for new page

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Gothalian has more viewers than Lirik.... whoa

 

[Sentinalprimus]

Finally faction exotic class items! Shame to see that Fate of all Fools is now the Jade Rabbit. :/ Though it is obvious that they are hiding stuff still so the full datamine later today will be awesome.

 

[Error]

1.9GB dled so far lol

 

[Lnkn52]

Damn, RIP OT

 

[Raybunny]

4 hours left. Will check the changes tomorrow. Time to watch some Mr Robot and / or play MGSV

Yeah, seems like a LOT of people missed the memo about burn armor

Noooo dinkleboot D: Why has thy left me

 

[Hawkian]

where's the fun in that?! XD

 

[Robdraggoo]

suros weapon pack is already at the postmaster!

Yes! I get tp play with new stuff, whats the light on them?

So 5k bounties are now 3k

And donations give 50 rep each.

cant level up too fast now can you. are the rep level requirements still the same? 2500 rep per level?

This is my favorite:

"Speed Reload: Reduced reload bonus by 80%"

LOL

I didnt really use it much anyway. might as well just remove the perk intirely if you were going to do that. was it even OP, nope, not at all.

 

[Darknyss09]

Also, the trials class items are only 30 defense/light whereas the old faction items are 140. That seems like an oversight.

 

[Midshipman]

Gothalian has more viewers than Lirik.... whoa

His channel is sensory overload, I feel like it's a casino mentality where people want to donate or sub for the music. He has good commentary though, I like it.

 

[Zocano]

Just started the download!

Spoiler

<1 hour left

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

See the new Trials weapons. They look neat.

Is this in the armory? It won't show me the results if I filter Weapon and ToO.

 

[Z3M0G]

So are people able to play right away after the download completes?

 

[lt519]

Bizarre, I'm going to have to re-level while I fill up on more bounties

 

[EloquentM]

Yes

Ok, that's strange then!
Let's default to the classic answer, then: "lol PSN".

Yeah, seems like a LOT of people missed the memo about burn armor

Doesn't offset the damage nerf that is still happening, new burn armor or not. ^^
It just makes them a little bit less attractive than they appeared: they will "only" let you even out the field with the AI... :/

 

[KxoZz]

8 GB after almost 2 hours... maaaaan

 

[Karl2177]

So, browsing through the Armory, I don't see any new elemental primaries. Can Bungie hide the raid weapons?

Hehehe

 

[jacobs34]

Got a legendary out of a blue engram after doing my first quest post patch.

Never got a legendary out of a blue engram in my entire time in year one.

Year 2>1 confirmed.

 

[bitsurugi]

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.

Shotguns

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

Well, the buff was 100%. But it was 100% more on the OLD base. The nerf is 45% but it is based on the new (now old) base.

So it's not like 100-45=55%; but it's like... back to the shotgun dmg before the buff, more or less.

The number they showed 2.25->1.15 seems to confirm this, if 1 was the old base.

So yeah... this sux.

The buff before and the nerf now are too big. They should nerf or buff in a more steady manner in the future. Huge changes are not good imo.

 

[Afrocious]

If I can't grind in Destiny, I'll grind elsewhere.

No more triple blink lol

 

[Tecnniqe]

Anyone tried the Necrochasm master race gun yet?

 

[Toki767]

Did anyone else notice this screen when booting up the game after the update? lol

 

[Robdraggoo]

does it change colors with shaders now? sweet. that was the helmets only downfall. it didnt go with much
