Well, you can still get the new exotics, just not from Xur. Mostly through the RNG swamp that is loot rewards. Makes me wonder why they switched to RNG, instead of using Dedicated drops like they planned on doing.

Damn, beat me to it.

I'll probably be playing Stick of Truth, but if we have enough people to run for the chest send me an Xbox message and I'll jump on my one. Sounded like enough people were interested.

Pretty cool site once it is not dependent on browser cache, good way to remember what you have armor wise (at least for me). :)
Click to expand...
Yeah, it is cool.

Looks like I'm missing 2 exotic weapons, 3 VoG weapons (fatebringer, why do you run away from me...) and 3 Crota weapons.

The Crota weapons part sucks for me since it's now giving me too many HoC; already had to break one down.

 
Patch coming as early as Tuesday:

http://www.bungie.net/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update---01082015/en/News/News?aid=12483

Crota’s End – Updates
The existing Pit treasure chest reward moved to killing Ir Yut, the Deathsinger. She has a chance to drop Exotic weapons and armor, class pieces, and Radiant materials.
The Pit treasure chest will now contain Radiant Materials.

Pit Encounter
Removed the physics impulse caused by exploding lanterns.

Bridge Encounter
Players will now be required to cross the bridge in order to complete the bridge encounter.
Players will now be required to wait for the bridge to be completed prior to crossing with the sword.

Deathsinger Encounter
Fixed a rare case where the Shriekers would not spawn, preventing players from reaching the Deathsinger.

Crota Encounter
Two Swordbearers will no longer spawn at the same time at the outset of the encounter.
Crota will now recover from his kneeling state after a player quits.
Fixed a bug that allowed players to remove the “Presence of Crota” using a Radiance Warlock’s Fireborn ability.
Fixed a bug that made the Oversoul appear destroyed to some players in a Fireteam when it was actually still active.

Vault of Glass – Updates
Exotic weapon drops in the Vault of Glass are now Level 32.
 
Wow, all the cheese fixed in one fell swoop. Crota is no problem. But, man, I haven't done the second bridge since the very first week. I know a lot of people are going to struggle with that now. That bridge section was a huge pain back when we had to figure it all out. Of course we were all 30's back then too...

Nice that the Deathsinger section gets a reward though.

And that Oversoul thing has happened to me several times. I couldn't help but notice they didn't fix the bug where the sword sometimes doesn't spawn or drop. As usual, they concentrated on the cheese and not the glitches...

Nice that VoG exotics are now 32. I'm not sure what you mean there Crazyglitcher. It looks like they finally upgraded at least a small thing in VoG.

I wonder if this will be in place for the Tuesday reset or later in the day? We'll see. I kind of have mixed feelings about it because while it is nice to cheese the bridge section just to speed things up, I always get crap drops from that first chest so a guaranteed drop from Deathsinger would be better. So they essentially added another mat drop point which is nice - plus they added armor there since that was never in the first chest.

Just this week PLEASE can I get a Hunger of Crota and a helm!? I'd be happy with just one helm, really.

Hah, at least they have a sense of humor there at Bungie:

Unlike our inaugural Vault of Glass Raid offering, hard mode for Crota’s End didn’t launch day and date alongside its younger, more affable sibling. I’ll bet you noticed, even though you’ve been busily swinging that sword into poor Crota’s big shiny green mug between dainty bites of soft, warm cheese.

It's not guaranteed exotics though - keyword "chance"

 
iron banner is back next week  :wall:

this was neat though

Right - which is why I said it was essentially another mat drop if nothing else (when I said guaranteed I meant at least mats which is better than the nothing it was before). I don't expect exotics there as I've only gotten 1 or 2 from the first chest (and they were dups of useless weapons I already had). Hell, I've only ever gotten 2 class items from it. That's why I'm glad they moved that chance to Deathsinger but also added armor and mats (but also left the mats in the first chest). I'm more excited about the chance for armor there and the overall increased materials count in the Raid.

I wish I hadn't passed up Suros when Xur had it. Then I saw someone complaining (I think in the PS4 thread) they got that from the Nightfall as part of a bad week of drops for them. Seriously - did they not see my drops this week!? ;)

Something they didn't need to do/could've done from the very start in my eyes. Very easy fix, not even sure WHY it was a bug, considering how ALL exotics were leveled except for the ones from VOG. Where's the Atheon fix? Why not level the rest of the weapons/armor from the raid? "We don't want players looking for the easy win weapons/armor, so we decided to leave the Gjallahorn the way it is (and never sell it, which actually makes sense if they're never going to balance it) and make only the most recent raid armor be the highest level (thereby insuring that everyone will wear the same set)."

I understand the necessity for the natural progression of armor levels later on (VOG/Crota to Harder and higher level raids releasing in the coming year) but weapons or drops could've at least been balanced to leave them viable for the later content, especially considering the built in "character level" damage cap.

My main beef is that Hard mode raid isn't out yet for Crota, but they're intent on fixing that rather than fixing the Raid they're abandoning. We should've had those ironed out ages ago, but they barely addressed them.
 
I'm sorry, but Xur is sucking wind...  :shame:

(right side on catwalk)

titans-skullfort Dis104/112

hunters-Raspberry Int 149/160

warlocks-Starfire Int 144/155

weapon-Last word

No exotic engram

Heavy ammo is back!

upgrade lowlights: hunters lupi chest, /helm saint-14, Praxic Fire, suros, thorn, gjallarhorn, monte carlo

 
Some great rolls on those exotics you can buy though. I bought all 3 of them. The stupid thing is that the Skullfort he is offering for upgrade (which I don't see on your list - perhaps it is in place of Monte Carlo for us peon Xbox people) is much worse than the one he is selling. So I just bought the new one and dismantled my old one for the shard. In effect I only paid 5 more coins (over buying an exotic shard to do the upgrade) for a better one (and also didn't have to waste all that glimmer on the upgrade).

Skullfort was my first exotic helm and I kind of miss it. I might upgrade that and use it instead of the other 2 Titan helms I have at the new max level. That Starfire Protocol beats my old one by like 20 points too so I bought that and dismantled my old one as well. Lucky Raspberry I never had before but that 160 Int was too hard to pass up. Now if only I could get a stupid freaking Raid helm.

And yeah, Gotdott, I don't want to hear what you got ;).

Anyway, the best thing Xur has is the heavy ammo synths. I never bought them there before (mine all came from when I kept hitting the glimmer cap pre-Xur upgrades and just bought them so I wasn't wasting glimmer opportunities) and didn't realize you got 5 of them for 1 coin. I always thought they were 1-for-1. That is certainly a better deal than Eris gives you (she wants, what, 5 black wax idols for 1 synth or something?). Considering I keep running out of glimmer, trading in some of my 100+ coins for them was well worth it. I was out on my Warlock and I had like 82 coins (just in her inventory, and that was after buying Starfire Protocol) so I bought 3 stacks of 20. That ought to set me up well for Crota hard mode. They are also nice for Nightfalls. I was out last week when at Omnigull and if I had some it would have made it so much easier/faster.

In lieu of there being nothing else really to do, I continue to run the Roc playlist in my futile search for one of the new ships. I'm sure Gotdott will get one in the next strike he does ;).

I also topped off my second Husk of the Pit. I have another on my Titan that I need to work on. Then tonight another one popped for me while getting a sword bounty. So now I have 4 - put the extra in the Vault. It would be hard to break it down. We'll see how easy the Necrochasm upgrades are to come by in hard mode Crota...

Yeah, I feel like the last couple weeks he has been trying to trick me into buying a bunch of random stuff I don't want. Then once I exhaust my stockpile of coins, he'll be selling Suoros, Icebreaker and Radiant Dance Machines.

And he'll laugh...
 
How does that Starfire Protocol Fusion grenade upgrade work? If you already use 2 grenades with the sunslinger I assume you won't have 3 right?

Right, you won't get 3. But it frees up that last column on your Sunsinger tree so you can use one of the other perks. I got Starfire mainly for the high Intellect and the fact that it looks cool.

Yeah Xur doesnt have anything I want.. but that is because I already pretty much have everything haha. I can't really be bummed. There are only really 3 more things for me, Radiant Dance Machines, Obsidian Mind and Sunbreakers with an even  decent roll.

I am pretty stoked to stock up on all of the heavy though. I also may check the Starfire Protocol and compare it to the one I currently have as I can't recall its stats. 

Ended up helping out a buddy's friend who just started the game run the VoG and then just ran one Heroic weekly and a few PvP matches and called it quits last night. 

Not sure what the hell was going on but the damage output was RIDICULOUS on the VoG and we all were experiencing it so we assumed it was glitched. This was NORMAL VoG and we were taking damage like we were on Hard mode. At level 31 I was taking full bar damage in one shot from 28 enemies. That is not right. It kept throwing me off because I was like oh I go this, bam one shot and flashing red. Dumb.

I am super stoked for an actual updated Crota's End and I have a strange theory...

I think they knowingly put in some of the 'problems' they are fixing for this update. The biggest thing that got me was that they changed the first chest and assigned that reward drop to the Deathsinger. Now, a game designer at Bungie would know that the first chest would be EASILY obtained and without any real effort. They then continued to go ahead and make it have Exotic chances. Then the fact that they give a difficult checkpoint ZERO rewards knowing full well people in the last Raid took advantage of checkpoints all the time? Those things to me seem like there is no way such things would have gone unnoticed as anyone play testing it and knowing a thing about the previous Raid would see those. It does however mean that people were quickly and easily able to obtain Radiant Material, Class Armors and Exotics EXTREMELY easily.

Next thing are the glitches themselves. Yeah yeah bugs exist. BUT one common complaint from people was that they could not get Raid gear and what not because they couldn't get full groups or weren't strong enough or whatever. By allowing certain glitches to exist knowingly they gave the masses time to boost up their armor/light levels and be more suited for the game in general and feel much more like they are experiencing the full game and not complaining of missing out on things. I am not saying they directly created such glitches but I could see them allowing certain ones through testing for this reason.

Again, with all of those above things, to me at least, I could see Bungie having this all been their master plan. They KNOW we give them grief for glitches, however this time the glitches were not against our favor such as the improper number of teleports or glitching healing Minotaurs. No.. these were all things that allowed us to easily get more stuff, something the general masses complain about this game, that getting stuff is too much of a grind.

Just something to think about...

Sounds similar to my experience with the thrall in Crota this week. They were just doing tons of damage. I think in some cases I was almost dead in one swipe.

 
It is difficult to believe that no one at Bungie realized that that first Crota chest constituted a free chance at an Exotic for doing only the first literally 30 seconds of the raid.

 
It's going to be hilarious what /r/fireteams and destinylfg posts will look like after the fixes next week. Though they didn't specifically mention fixing the despawn at the bridge segment so it still seems solo-able.

Yeah the language they used in regards to that fix seemed a bit vague and so I am curious if it truly will be totally fixed or not.

Oops... I did it again.

I'm usually pretty beat by the time Xur shows, so I'm not really thinking of exclusive content. And to be honest, had NO clue the Monte Carlo was an exclusive too. :lol:

Yeah, didn't list the Skullfort upgrade because it was worse than the one you can buy.

Was your old Starfire from a drop??? Only ask since I'm pretty sure this week's Starfire has the same stats as the one Xur sold last week.

And touching on the Skullfort helm, that is still my favorite looking titan helm. It's how I originally hit max level for the VoG raid. It's one of 2 helms I can use to hit max level in Crota's raid (though Helm Saint-14 is more usefull). Based on looks, I'd use Skullfort, but not too helpful for me. Which is why I'm still hunting for any helm from the CE raid

 
I hope when Hawkmoon, Monte Carlo, and Fourth Horseman get added to the Xbox version of the game, Xur just sells them. We'll have already waited a year for them, we deserve a break.

 
Too many instances have occurred where waiting the extra 2 seconds for your teammates to come grab heavy have resulted in casualties - if you aren't there when it spawns (there's ample notification time) I'm not waiting for you.

I guess I am just used to running PvP with my normal crew and we post up defense spots around heavy drops once they are incoming and so we basically make it a safe landing zone for the others to get in there and grab it all at once. When I play with randoms then it is largely just a clusterfuck. Either way I do see your argument to an extent especially with randoms or people who do not play a bunch of PvP but I have had countless times where there is no enemy team in the area whatsoever and you can see the one person just runs by and doesnt even stop and just grabs the heavy and keeps going when in reality if he waited all of a couple second he would have been safe and given the team a better chance at winning. If there is red on your radar, okay you are excused for being scared but if there is no red and you still don't even try to wait, that is bunk.

Hahah fair enough! A full skilled team with heavy can turn games. I remember 5 of us got put into a game where the other team had been DOMINATING and clearly the other team just started to quit out. We got in there, took control of one point, defended the heavy zone until it arrived and all 5 of us had heavy and just completely destroyed the other team with it and completely turned the game around.

Goes both ways though I suppose, you don't really want to wait for shitty randoms on your team to get the heavy sometimes because they will just go out and die and hand it over to their killer hah

I'm not sure what my Starfire had since I dismantled it, but I think it was about 20 points lower. I might have gotten mine from a Nightfall right after the DLC came out - not sure. In any case, the one Xur had this week was much better.

And I am totally with you on Skullfort. It is what I used in the VoG early on - but I also now use Saint-14 for Crota. It will be even more important with the cheese fixes. That confuse bubble is great for making a last stand before the first bridge and also for using on the far side of the second bridge to get it activated to get the last 3 people across. Oh yeah, and it is also useful during the Deathsinger to confuse some of the Knights clogging up that inner chamber so you can concentrate on Ir Yut. I'm sure it will be critical during Hard mode.

Any Crota helm would be nice - though I may still have to use Saint-14 on my Titan regardless. I switched over to Armamentarium when I got the VoG helm, but that isn't quite so useful in the Crota raid.

TBH, I'm hoping they open our accounts to move freely between ALL consoles. Love being able to hop back and forth between the PS3 and PS4. Would be great if I could just as easily jump to the xbox machines.

As it is, it's too much grief to start from scratch. I'd rather wait and hope they open things up.

Yeah I would absolutely LOVEEEEEEE to be able to play my X1 progress on my PS4 copy. I never touch my PS4 copy anymore because I have dedicated so much time to my X1. I am not able to play with all my other friends that have it on PS4 though : /

I know such a thing will never happen though unfortunately.

 
Yeah, we've discussed that before. It would just be too awesome for that to happen, so it never will... (But I understand there are probably all kinds of reasons why they wouldn't or couldn't do that).

I have been tempted to get a PS4 copy and start over, but I really don't think that is a good use of my time. I've wasted enough time on this game as it is ;).

It could if the exclusivity deal is the only thing holding it back.

Afterall, our progress is stored on their side, not ours.

That is a common thing though. Call of Duty is the same between both consoles and yet we have never been able to transfer progress and stuff. It just unfortunately is not a thing that happens in games between consoles, regardless of exclusivity or not.

Not for technical reasons though. Final Fantasy XI is cross-play between PC, PS2, and Xbox 360, because Microsoft made a one-time exception to their policy.

True but just the fact that right there that was a one time exception! I totally know where you guys are coming from and wish it were more likely but I am just saying based on the track record of games, it is very unlikely to ever happen. And if it would I would guess it wouldnt until the new Destiny full release.

Oh, absolutely. I acknowledge it's unlikely to happen simply because it'll be easy to push another exclusivity deal. (unless Bungie fuck up and kills off their own product)

But they cracked open the door to the possibility when they allowed you to move between console generations (within the same family)

When Diablo 3 let us carry over progress and characters from PS3 to X1 and 360 to PS4 I was impressed and had hoped more people would follow suite and expand on it. Only time will tell I guess!

 
Like everyone's saying, it'd be awesome to be able to transfer across platforms, but based solely on the fact that making characters untransferable will force players to spend even more time to gear out completely new characters in their contentless Korean MMO grind fest, I doubt they'll allow it. Of course, I'll probably be eating my words in September when and if they change their minds, but for now, the BungieVision admins will continue to disappoint.

I don't know why I keep talking negatively about this game even though I spend hours playing it day after day. Probably just Continuously disappointed about how much it changed from that e3 2013 gameplay trailer. I miss that Destiny.

Hey, I finally got one of the new ships from the Vanguard Roc playlist. It is the light green one.

So this is an example of a very, very, small thing that they've done to improve the game. There are lots of other things they need to (or should) do, but this is at least one little thing that sort of slipped under the radar.

Now there is something to do outside of the gear grind and these ships are more diverse looking (which is something people asked for) and there are a lot and the drop rate is low so we are slowly starting to see a wider variety of them in use. This is another thing people asked for - for everyone not to look the same. For a while there everyone used the VoG Raid ships. But I'm ditching those for any new ships I find like this one.

For sure they have a lot more work for them to do along these same lines (like introducing a variety of different high-level armor so everyone isn't running around in Crota gear).

But I like the sort of quiet integration of these - it is like a little easter egg type of thing that I wish this game had more of. Next they need to do the same with shaders, perhaps, so there is more variety there (and more importantly some rare ones - besides the faction ones that require tons of grinding to even have a chance for). I guess these came with the DLC but it took a few weeks for them to start showing up regularly. They could also do this for sparrows.

Also - I hit Eris rank 4 on a second character and did NOT get the emblem gifted to me by her. I guess that is a one per account thing. That was kind of disappointing, as it takes away any incentive to hit rank 4 on multiple characters. I'll continue to work on it for my 3rd character but only with the easy ones and just if I happen to need the exp for armor/weapon upgrades. Otherwise I'll stick with Vanguard bounties to level up those other factions.

I'm trying to decide if I want to get my Titan to 32 by the reset. I only need one more maxed piece of Crota gear to do it, but that is a 100% strength chest piece and I was hoping to get a better one. Also, I'd have to convert 21 radiant energy to shards and that will cost me 21 black wax idols plus 10,500 glimmer. I think I'll just wait. I ought to be able to get through the patched Raid at 31 2/3 (hell, I did the first parts at 30 the week it came out). Maybe I'll get lucky and get a helm then I can just go back to Armamentarium anyway. The patch might not even happen till Tuesday afternoon like with the helm adding patch.

If they don't introduce the patch at reset, I wonder if we could double-dip in a sense? That is, run it first thing after reset to get the first chest with its exotic/class item chance, and still be able to cheese the bridge. But then stop after the second chest and wait till the patch comes the following day. Then finish up Deathsinger/Crota after the patch so we get another exotic chance at Ir Yut. This all depends on the timing of the patch of course.

31 2/3 is still better than 31. Someone did the math shortly after release and light # affects your damage output in certain ways.

Does it scale between 31 and 32? I thought it didn't and you had to hit 32 to make the jump in damage. Of course the 2/3 extra means higher armor rating which would help regardless of the difference in damage output.

I ran several more Roc strikes tonight and no more ships. So I've gotten one in 20-25 strikes... I should have kept a running tally of my rewards. There is someone else doing that on Youtube though (I didn't watch but they were talking about it on the Bungie forums).

Did people want to try for the clan achievement on VoG some time Sunday? Just let me know if you need another.

I still need the second chest from Crota, I'm a shard away from maxing another raid piece. Gott, Moose: either of you still have that cp?

I think my Titan looks pretty badass right now, full raid gear and sunsetter shader:

That is just awesome. I was dying laughing at that for some reason and my family didn't get it. I need to start a new
EXO character just for the dance moves.
 
Am the only one having issues with updates? 

I start up my game ( Mind you I uninstalled, and installed it again last night )

Boots up, and goes to titles menu. I hit A. Goes to download updates, and fails.

I am in the process of reinstalling, and installing it again.
