That was a good run. Things got dicey here and there but we really pulled that one through.
They managed to make the incursion hectic the whole way through.
I got 2 Sentry's pieces from it. And of course, they're both backpacks. Haha
destiny benefitted from 3 different classes (2-3 subclasses depending on when you jumped in) and pvp. The guns were also a lot more personalized. Even still it got stale. Massive is going to have to work hard because I don't think it has that "it" factor that destiny and Diablo have.
Destiny 2.0 indeed.

Yeah, it was a good run. Will be easier now that we know the spawns and strats, and interesting to see the community come up with new ways to speed run and new ways to cheese

So how was the Incursion? Was it at least fun?

Most people seem disappointed by it. Just a horde mode.
I haven't played it but from what I've seen, it looks like a very average Horde Mode.

Your 180? Now I don't feel so noobish.
The game keeps lagging. Anyone else getting lag and choppy play?

It was posted a few pages ago. Exploit on Wave 4: leave a guy alive, don't defuse, and pound the APC as fast as possible.
Or was that disproven?

It was a glitch.
Can't replicate?

That feeling of having a 192 GS and you haven't even touched the Incursion yet. Gonna be a long wait until my group gets on later tonight.
Is it known if the weekly CM incursion reward is a fixed gear piece each week? or RNG?
Yeah I have 192 GS buy just buying stuff from BoO and DZ06 and not even playing the game today otherwise.
not so far

Got a classic M1A
I've been saying for two weeks that it was just an objective horde mode.

No idea, probably not.
Random 214 GS for hard, random 240 GS for CM afaik. Plus the cosmetic item.
My map said rewards will reset in 6 hours after beating the Incursion, I don't know of that applies to mission end rewards or boss loot drop reward...
I really hope interesting PVE mechanics are added with the paid expansions. Still haven't done the Incursion, but it seems people are underwhelmed by it. I think it can still happen. They couldn't do mechanics based fights in the leveling missions cause you aren't guaranteed to have a group, but going forward I hope interesting things are added. The gear sets really give a solid base to build upon as far as group synergy goes. I really enjoy the Dark Zone and the tension it provides, but there can be a lot of down time which is sorta a bummer. Sometimes I can run around an entire zone and only come across 1 roaming mob. I still really enjoy the game. Bought the season pass. No regrats. Looking forward to what comes next. They've done a good job addressing concerns so far.
But, clearly, they need to add

Went 5/5 extracting solo with no problem. In the 0-160 DZ tier there are lots of solos. I imagine I'd still get decimated by a squad or one of the tryhard super squads but it was nice to be able to run around and see another agent or two together and not have to worry about not just dying, but getting instakilled. I'm fine with the tension and backstabbery and mayhem of the DZ, but it was a problem with one dude could melt me in a few bullets while I could unload an entire clip and do like half a bar. I could stay in this DZ forever.
Kind of sad that the supply drops are apparently garbage. I noticed people were already letting them expire and not even worrying about grabbing them.

Space for 1 for Falcon
You don't understand, Massive lied, they said it would be 3 times the length of a Destiny raid and we'd have to go to real world locations to solve ever changing puzzles!

I mean, most us with eyes have been saying this...not sure where people are getting all these different expectations from?
I've been watching streams and it looks fun, challenging, and rewards better end game loot.

There is a lockout from replaying HM Incursion right after.
We beat it and there was a 6 hour countdown for rewards, so it seems you'll get the drops from the boss (APC) but not the mission rewards.
The Incursion is alright, it's hectic and requires a lot of teamwork but it is exactly that one room and waves. Once you get a strategy down it's fairly easy. Drops were good. Got over the 200k mark for DPS and 80k for health. Up to 192 gear score now.
Supply drops are extremely dissapointing. They happen in succession every 30 minutes or so, so they happen one after another meaning anyone in the DZ ends up spreading out and there isn't always people going after the drop. It occurred many times that drops would expire because they would be so far away after you grabbed one. The worst part is that the rewards are garbage. Clothing and low gear score purples (163 gear score). It's worth it to get the DT and the named enemy that spawns to get their HE rolls. It's extremely dissapointing, more than the Incursion IMO.

I spent 2 hours soloing in the DZ today, 161+ bracket.
Saw plenty of other agents going about their business but only encountered 3 rogues the entire time, was very surprised to be honest.
The supply drop I claimed was disappointing though, fighting the NPC's protecting it whilst keeping an eye out for other agents was fun, the contents of the drop were not lol.

182 is the max that any HE drop from a named enemy (DZ or CM/HM) and DZ chests will give. So don't expect to get anything above that from the usual grind.

Loving the couple of hours I've put into the updated game so far. Did the three dailies on hard (and actually scored some improved gear), spent 20 minutes recalibrating my best gear to better suit my loadout now that it costs $ instead of phoenix credits, then bought a new glove blueprint. Managed to see my DPS go up about 15k and my health up about 10k in that time. Enjoying how the daily/weekly assignments add some progression to otherwise mundane tasks.
Spent five minutes in Excursion mode (on hard). Was paired up with two people who I revived about a dozen timers on the first wave. We had no chance. I assume this is because they were under-geared or not great players, not because it's actually that hard?

What are the differences in rewards for Falcon in Hard vs Challenging?
Xion_Stellar
People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Outside the Weekly Bonus Drop the Hard Mode reward drops GS:191 Gear and the Challenge Mode reward drops GS:214 Gear IIRC.
Edit:Got the numbers wrong

Hard is a guaranteed 214 item while Challenge is a 240 item.
It seems gear score maxes out at 240 currently.
Gear score also doesn't boost your stats in anyway, it's just a guide to let you know what your gears level is. It isn't like Light Level in Destiny that actually boosts your stats.

So you can have a gear score of 240 and RNG can still hate your ass...
Sounds glorious!

All the DZ blueprints listed here.
Seems 240 Gear Score items are exclusive to challenge mode of the Incursion.

Hot damn, Massive actually gave PVE something.
My 163 superior GS m1911 pistol is objectively better in every way than my 182 GS HE pv4 pistol.
oh cool, thanks. would've been nice if there was a chance of getting 204's tho even if a slim one

So far so good with the update. I was able to run a quick hard daily mission and ended up getting a HE pistol drop that was several 1000K damage above the one I had been using for ages. Nice.
Just got back from vacation, downloaded a patch, now the game won't launch on Xbox One. Every time it just goes to title screen for a second then minimizes and says "please try again. Sorry that didn't work for some reason." I've tried power cycling the console, no luck.
Anyone else have this issue or know a solution?
Haven't played in two weeks and jonesing bad!
