Destiny (PS3/PS4) Official Thread

[quote name="aFrostyONE" post="12297184" timestamp="1417644720"]I'm not looking forward to exotic resets, but it may not be as bad as we're thinking.

Wasn't there another interview that talked about exotics starting off at higher levels and the upgrade path was going to smaller increases? Can't find it right now, but I understood it as something like this: starts at a base level of, lets say, 290 and you'll be able to max it out at 330 or so.

I'll keep looking for the story...

EDIT: ah, it was in the 12/1 update notes
http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Update---12012014/en/News/News?aid=12433
  • Exotics now start at a higher base Attack value and have a narrowed upgrade range to compensate
So my example isn't the actual scenario, but it gives you an idea. Guess we just wait to see how much we get kicked back.[/quote]

But wouldnt it be better if i have a maxed one already, i do the upgrade purchase from xur and it gives me my max one back with my 300 atck damge but with 3 extra nodes to only fill out to reach the new max cap? Id be happy to do the upgrade but if you lose ur current damage attack as well as the initial weapon perks you previously unlocked then thatll sucked!

Upgrading a no exp exotic weapon vs a max exp weapon has no benefit... So people who previously grind to get all their exotics to max got shafted and people who get exotic rng lucky day 1 gets even luckier.

Just wished itl be implented differently than what we know right now
 
Yeah, I thought I had the Iron Banner chest armor, but I was mixed up because I'm a sleep deprived idiot. So I still need to play the raid and try to get that chest armor. I have exotics for each slot- Helm of Inmost Light, Armamentarium, and No Backup Plans- so I don't have to play the VoG on hard and hope for a helmet.

We should all take a minute to think about the amount of developers which sat around discussing this very point and then decided that actively punishing people for playing their game was the way to go. :wall:

No doubt... I'd rather pick up from my current point. I'm just hoping for the best... the pic of that new exotic RL, Dragon's Breath, had it's starting point at 302 so I'm hoping the degrade only knocks my maxed gear into the 290 range. That won't be so bad.

But just have to wait and see. Like I said before, this DLC is gonna determine whether I keep going or move on.

Hoping it's a good enough experience that I'm still playing this thru the new year. Fingers crossed

 
To add more salt to the wound, they announced this update after they made the patch for the material exchange. I BET alot of people took advantage of the monday patch to max tons of their gears, including me. I dismantled some dup exotics to max some exotics only to learn that its wasted since i need another one for xur to upgrade those max items once again to be dlc proof. Fudge!!!! Bungie should atleast give more heads up on this type of major changes and not shove them all at once in our throats without warning. The horror of All those exp, mats, marks down the drain once again.

Just reading the new info.

New legendary gear will replace the old ones in the tower, with higher attack and defense, available to all players. Awesome!

But the same gear wont be as powerful as new raid gear or exotics.... so in the end its pointless once again, except for those who are stuck at 28/29.

Now i need to get crucible/vanguard commendations to use my marks? Only way to get them is to rank it up a level? I know it doesnt take a long time to rank it up, maybe 2-3 days worth of bounties but it just seems like another hoop to jump through, and also makes me have to grind more than i want to.

Also all my exotics that i just leveled up to max, which has been a lot of them, will eventually be reset because i have to level them up to the new max rank? And only if xur decides he wants to allow you to upgrade them that week? Xur usually has the same items over and over, i can only imagine waiting week after week for him to make one of my favorite guns available to upgrade. Am i understanding this right? Someone tell me i read this wrong please!

Nightfall and weekly will be upped to level 30, not really that big of a deal to me since i have all three of my characters to 30 now. But thats a big slap in the face to people who dont buy the DLC, those who are stuck at 29. IDK if the new legendary gear will be available to non DLC owners or not, but hopefully it will get them to 30 at least.

The hard version of the new raid wont be available until jan??? I know it might take a while to upgrade to 32 the way the RNG likes to give you the same items you already have, but why is that? Are they afraid someone is going to find some cheese way to beat the raid and be able to get all the hard rewards before they can patch them?

I dont know about all these changes. Just seems like right when they give us materials to purchase, to stop us from having to grind in this game as much, then they come back and make us level up all our weapons again which will take even more grinding. I was about to buy the 35 dollar DLC pack last night but decided not to at the last second. Now i dont even know if i want to get this. Yeah it looks cool but ive already sunk too much time into this game, and i feel like buying this DLC is just going to sink more of my time into it just for 1 raid and a couple strikes that i will replay 10 times over week after week doing the same thing. But having to level my guns up all over again makes me just want to give up. I have maybe 15-20 guns maxed out already.

 
Xur upgrades will suck, but there's this pic out there that shows him carrying 12 potential exotic upgrades

xur_upgrades.jpg


What I hate the most is the inability to upgrade our legendary Raid weapons from VoG, Vision of Confluence in particular.

All of a sudden, I'm not so interested in getting Fatebringer :???:

 
7th, what they mentioned was that if you want ur current exotic to be relevant to the next dlc cap you need to reset it from xur spending a exotic shard and glimmer. losing all progress including perks you unlocked to it and level it from a higher starting attck stat to max attack stat for the dlc. People are also saying that a zero upgraded exotic and a fully upgraded exotic resets the same way so hardcores a screwed twice.

I guess we will have to wait and see exactly how it all works. It seems like bungie has managed to piss off a lot of people, so there might be a chance they try to come up with something different. My biggest problem with it is that they keep on saying it's not an mmo, yet they keep making decisions to shape it as one. The only problem is that they do not have nearly enough content to justify doing so. It is hard not to be upset right now. This is the first game I have purchased a season pass for in a while and I am starting to regret doing so. Bungie's mismanagement is ruining a great game.

I don't see an exotic engram, are they getting rid of them?
 
For everybody I was raiding with last night, my internet went out for about an hour. That's why I just vanished lol. By the time it came back it was late and I figured you all would have just finished it or moved on.

I still want to finish the raid with my hunter, looking to start from the Templar.

Im curious if he has a DLC item as the weapon for the week, does that mean the people who dont buy the DLC get nothing to buy? Same with if they make one of the two new strikes the nightfall and weekly, do non DLC people not get to play it that week?

 
7 we both know you will buy it and be playing it next week with the rest of the gang ;)

Did a regular raid last night in 1:30 even without pushing anyone off any levels (and sherpaing a 25).

Got a chest piece for my titan and VOC...and CHATTERWHITE (cause I get one every.single.time.)

Tried to get a group to help someone finish atheon on hard but failed to form a team. Will be looking to do hard raid with my hunter if anyone sees me online send an invite. I wont suck as much this time since I have leveled the gauntlets I got last time fully and am working on leveling fatebringer the rest of the way as well.

I also have not done any weeklies or nightfalls this week yet if your looking to do those just invite or join my game tonight if we are not raiding.

I need a chest or helmet for my hunter and boots or helmet for my titan to reach 30. I somehow doubt it will happen before the new dlc but at least hopefully soon after...of course then 32 is the new 30 and it all starts again. I did read that the RNG is going to be nicer and not give you the same shit as often. Its supposed to take into consideration what you got last time and also how long its been since you got a "fun" drop.

I'll be down, I still need to do it on Hard with my 3 characters. If anyone sees me online (even if I am in another game) just shoot me a message and I will probably drop by.

You were lost in time...

Sadly the Gjallerhorn is going to stay in the vault until Xur can upgrade it. I won't be spending any materials until the DLC is out. I thought their last patch was to stop us from hording shards and energies.

 
I went online last night and it felt barren. Alot of the usual peeps i see online were not. Did the usual easy daily bounties and skipped patrol ones, i finally started huntng for dead ghosts to finally increase my score. Randomly got invited to do NF. Then we finished both NF, Weekly and a Daily less than 45mins i think. Since i got Gjallarhorn for the last minute atheon push last monday, i just decided to upgrade it since its not guaranteed that xur will have that upgrade option next week, so might aswell make use of it now while its still relevant and hope for the best.
 
Its tricky having a growing game. As an ex wow(aholic) I am used to gear being left behind. Hopefully bungie is working on a transmog system for the future. I u derstand why they are forcing us to re upgrade exotics though. They dont want Crotas end to be obliterated. On the 9th or 10th. This is one way of slowing progress and possibly getting people to do the expansion quests to level up again.

Yeah, I'm seeing fewer people online too.

And it's funny how little I care right now to grind in the game. Didn't even get the dailies done last night.

This latest DLC announcement pretty much killed any reason to play Destiny right now.

I'm in a fuck 'g holding pattern; thanks Bungie :roll:

Hopped on thinking to knock out my Pocket Infinity bounty and also complete NF, then weekly. Finished the bounty but got a little too careless and died. AND I had no desire to retry. At that point, someone pm'd to help on Hard raid, so I went. Tried out a decent strategy to kill the Templar, then finished the rest of the raid.

Received dups of Corrective Measure, Found Verdict and Timebreaker (EDIT: forgot about another Praedyth's Revenge). CM is a good HEAVY and I would've upgraded a 2nd, but not anymore, not with the new changes coming.

Turned in the couple of bounties I completed and got the Pocket Infinity bounty again. So my only real motivation to play right now is to get that bounty completed for Xur.

This is the best time to knock out 200kill pocket infinity bounty requirement. Really glad i waited. I was trying to knock it out last week but was too pissed with the shielded enemies as well as long respawn path. With the nexus, only a short path to the lvl 28 area, just kill off the dregs and shanks and die. Rinse repeat, you can do the 200 kills in less than an hour or so.
 
Yeah, I'm finding less of a reason to be doing the usual nightly romp through the daily and bounty stuff this week. I knocked out the two Nightfalls and Weeklies with CAGkrazy on Tuesday in short order, thanks! Other than that, I figured it's a good time to level up my Hunter from 3 to 20+ and then throw on all of the accumulated legendary and exotics in this lull before the DLC hits.

I still haven't done the raid this week so that's something else to do since I'm still stuck on 29 with my other two characters.

Also, when did the postmaster stop giving a daily reward for doing a gold public event? It wasn't usually much, but still.

Haha. I just finished my 200 kills for the pocket infinity yesterday by doing that too. It's an easier strike to knock that bounty out of the way no doubt.

You get a mote of light now for your first public event each day (given automatically to your character, not at postmaster) instead of an ascendant material.

Okay, that makes sense. I haven't done a lot of those lately. I figured getting a mote on those events was just coincidental timing with gaining motes of light with experience after reaching level 20. Thanks for making sense of it, I guess I missed that note in a past Destiny update post.

Thinking about this for a bit and I wouldn't be surprised if Xur DOES sell the DLC exotics.

Great way to show the non-DLC owners what they're missing out on. Slight possibility that he'll only sell the new exotics too, though that would be extreme (Acti, err Bungie wouldn't do that, right... ;) ).

As for Nightfalls and Weekly's, it'll most likely be a selection option similar to the current setup for choosing the Daily or Weekly level. And the level 30 stuff will be greyed out for non-DLC players.

Any word if a DLC owner will be able to bring along non-DLC owners for any of the DLC activities?

First ever run through Vault of Glass (Normal):

I got Chatterwhite! Heh. Also Kabr's Brazen Grips, 13 Ascendant Shards, and Atheon's Epilogue. That was a lot of fun and I am very pleased with the rewards.

But this war was not without its casualties. R.I.P. to the rubber around the edge of my left thumbstick. :whistle2:(

I have been saving motes for a while now thinking I would buy engrams when the expansion dropped. Of course that may have made life easier and Bungie can't have that. There better be a decent use for them after the expansion hits.

I only need 3 exotic items, two warlock helms and the praxic fire chest. So him having one of the three items i need is nice. Sad that he has the same gun though. I almost have 100 motes now and no engram? Not that i would have bought it, probably would have just got something i already have. Maybe ill buy that gold and white cape with the wolf on it for my hunter.

 
Everybody started raiding early last night lol. Even my friends that are not on CAG were already in the raid when I got online. Hope you guys got some cool stuff you needed.

I got one nightfall and two weeklies done. Got the dead orbit machine gun from nightfall.

One update i like to have is for the speaker items to be discounted. Ive only bought 1 class item and a couple of emblems from him and thats it. Id get more class items if theyre not 25 motes each. Its not like i get 25 motes each week that quick

Sooooo should I get the Helm of Inmost light and the Light beyond nemesis? My go to on the Titan is Armamentarium and on the Warlock I have both capes and the Apotheosis Veil from a NF drop. And given the DLC is coming up...should I even care for anything this clown is selling this week?

It just seems to be a waste of coins at this point. (For this week at least).

Side Note: Played GTA 5 rather than Destiny last night and it felt awesome. Did a mission and got $20 grand, which another player tried to rob from me as soon as we got out and into the free world (yeah you can do that). He shot me with his nade launcher, it somehow hit a wall and backfired at him. He died, leaving a ton of money in the ground, which I kindly took and deposited into my account. 3 min later I get a psn message to give him his money back...lol right

The only thing that you want to think about is that if you like the helms and will be using them, youd want to get them now even if the patch is coming. Ud never know when hell sell those back again as ver2.0 (higher tiered ver) soon or if your going to be lucky and have rng give u 1 soon after. At least you have more options for the upgrade path.

Man, I'm in a funk with Destiny right now. I've got bounties to do but don't bother since I'd only be upgrading stuff that'll soon be irrelevant (current legendaries) or will get reset (exotics). So I don't make any effort to complete specific tasks

My 2nd Pocket Infinity bounty is stuck because I ran out of rare fusions to dismantle and that's after I dismantled some legendaries I don't use.

I run the weekly for my toon and I get robbed on the rewards (as in no coins given). Yes, this was the first time run for this toon.

And wait around for Xur only to see him selling the same exotic weapon and no engram :roll:

Only bright spot was the NF reward, got Admonisher III. This was has Solar & tracking where my current one is Void and doesn't track.

This should be handy during the New 30 raid, so I'll work on upgrading it.

While I will log in tonight, I'm wondering for how long. I could work on my warlock's level, but that gets really boring.

I grabbed Inmost Light just to have it. So I now have all 3 helms, 1 chest and 1 gauntlets for the titan. Only one I'm missing is the Alpha Lupi chest, which I didn't buy when Xur last had it because I didn't have enough coins.

 
Ok. Just for the hell of it I'm going to try and play devil's advocate here. As far as upgrading exotics goes, we're not actually "resetting" them per-say. It's more like they're moving up to a new tier. Currently, a maxed out exotic weapon has a dmg of 300. (Minus the Vex) When we do the upgrade, the dmg remains at 300. We just have to go through the grindy upgrade process again to get them to their new dmg level. (I wonder what this means for the Vex. Will it have an even higher max dmg after we upgrade it? CAN it even be upgraded?) Yes, we do lose the perks temporarily, BUT they did state that it will be a lot faster to upgrade them so it hopefully we won't be without them for long after an upgrade. The only thing really that still bothers me about it is the fact that it's still going to be boring and repetitive maxing them out because of the lack of actual stuff to do. Maybe the DLC will remedy that a little but since we're not really getting that many missions and strikes it probably won't. I want to stay positive and hope that maybe, at least, Eris will have some unique bounties to do (And I thought that I read somewhere that she did) which will at least break up the monotony of the usual bounties. Plus there's always Iron Banner which is coming back the 16th.

Oh and I'm still not happy about having to spend 14 strange coins per upgrade.

 
Another complain iv read were also because an pre-dlc unupgraded exotic vs a pre-dlc max exotic upgrades the same way. So you both get the higher starting stat version at the beginning giving the max 1 nothing to show for. People were saying that bungie should atleast give an exotic shard back or give the surrendered max version at least a percentage of the progression back.

This is kinda where I'm at with the Exotic upgrade... it's an OK alternative to having underpowered exotics during harder levels (+30 stuff). It's not perfect, just OK.

But this also means we're sorta stuck until the new DLC releases. Why bother upgrading exotics when they'll get reset in about 4 days. Why work on legendaries when there's no way to upgrade it past 30.

I'm sitting on 5 legendaries that could be upgraded but most won't. They're all dups of existing guns for me, but I was willing to upgrade a 2nd set just to avoid swapping them between toons.I'll take care of VoC since I like it so much but the others will just rot.

I said it before, they should have made the new raid start at 28/29 instead of 30. This would have allowed all current players the chance to raid with their existing gear instead of making all the under 30 players have to essentially start over by buying new gear. And it would have respected the time all the 30's have put in.

Let's face it if you're a 30 right now, you'll most likely keep pushing to get new gear and hit 32. But if you're under 30, then this may start to feel like too much and that you're getting left behind, so why bother even buying the DLC

Ok. Just for the hell of it I'm going to try and play devil's advocate here. As far as upgrading exotics goes, we're not actually "resetting" them per-say. It's more like they're moving up to a new tier. Currently, a maxed out exotic weapon has a dmg of 300. (Minus the Vex) When we do the upgrade, the dmg remains at 300. We just have to go through the grindy upgrade process again to get them to their new dmg level. (I wonder what this means for the Vex. Will it have an even higher max dmg after we upgrade it? CAN it even be upgraded?) Yes, we do lose the perks temporarily, BUT they did state that it will be a lot faster to upgrade them so it hopefully we won't be without them for long after an upgrade. The only thing really that still bothers me about it is the fact that it's still going to be boring and repetitive maxing them out because of the lack of actual stuff to do. Maybe the DLC will remedy that a little but since we're not really getting that many missions and strikes it probably won't. I want to stay positive and hope that maybe, at least, Eris will have some unique bounties to do (And I thought that I read somewhere that she did) which will at least break up the monotony of the usual bounties. Plus there's always Iron Banner which is coming back the 16th.

Oh and I'm still not happy about having to spend 14 strange coins per upgrade.

Oh god its coming back already? Sigh ... I do not want to suffer through going through all levels again just to get that "freaking" piece I need to get to whatever level. Seriously the grind through the IB left me tired of Crucible, since I had to endure it for parts that all my characters needed as the RNGesus gave me the middle finger during every raid run (and still does and probably will keep on being the same)

Again, I don't carry max out guns unless I really like them. We'll see how that plays out next Tuesday, but so far I'm glad I didn't upgrade them. Exotic armor on the other hand, that I did upgrade :???:

 
For those interested I'm looking to try and put together a hard raid tonight. Maybe around 8 or 9EST. I know 7 will be in so we'll be looking for 4 more. Just message me on PSN if interested.
 
Also, I'll just leave this here...

Props to the guy who made the video btw
