Destiny (PS3/PS4) Official Thread

Didn't they say that they were doubling the amount of marks you could carry as well as increasing the payouts per match? Thought I remember hearing that but cannot remember. If they do the same as they did with TDB this patch could be pretty large and include most of the resources for HoW to lighten server load on the 19th.
Don't remember the part about carrying more marks, but I do remember reading that they were fixing the rewards per match. It would line up more consistently with how you did during the match.

So, less likely that you'll see a top performer blank on a reward while the worst performer gets exotics.

 
I'm about to run solo through a Nightfall, if anyone wants to join feel free to join. I won't have my mic on though.

EDIT: Okay, so maybe not as easy as I thought with this week's modifiers. Damn.

Damn. Had I known, I'd have joined.

Any plans for raiding tonight? I plan to get on immediately after the Bulls game, around 8:30 P.M. Central.
 
nightfallz x 3 = no land beyond, 4th horseman, the crash (I have like 3 of these)

Matt I saw you on for a second but you didnt hop in...duet and I did one and a dude from my clan hopped in, then a random dude that was waiting at the spawn and arjay, then arjay and duet...we wiped and it was funny as shit. Two titan bubbles and knights just came and wrecked us all at once during the final battle. We started hauling ass when omnigul screams on the second attempt lol. Thrawls where one hit mele'n my titan...that shit aint right.

 
Nightfalls x 3 = 10 strange coins, 12 strange coins, and 7 ascendant shards.

Did the weekly and got a legendary heavy weapon engram, turned it into the cryptarch and got a Gjallarhorn. Also got an Ice Breaker yesterday or the day before from the crucible. I already had one of these guns for each character already. ;)

Im starting to love using the Young Ahamkara's Spine for the hunter. I knew it made tripmine grenades last longer, but i thought it would last 5 more seconds than normal. It literally lasts until my grenade refills and i can use another one. So i love just posting them on walls and seeing people walk into them later when im busy doing something else, or even after ive died and spawned back.

NOT MY VIDEO, But the revenge is sweet! PS. Why cant my hunger of crota have tracking like this? Whenever i use mine it just goes right past enemies.

:shock:

I really need some of that RNG goodness. I'd give up all of my strange coins for one Gjallarhorn. Funny enough, I too got a legendary heavy weapon drop (but from the daily mission) and it turned into 2 ascendant shards. What the... I don't even... :nottalking:

 
Saw Monte Carlo drop for someone else yet again during my first Nightfall. I ended up getting No Backup Plans. Second Nightfall gave me a crappy fusion and third gave me 9 coins.
 
I got a Hard Light yesterday from the nightfall. Had another one waiting at the postmaster from a previous week, and three in my vault. So that was a quick four exotic shards. I'm pretty sure Hard Light is the only exotic I ever get from the nightfall. Everything else I've either purchased or received from a raid boss.
 
So far...

3x gorgon chest for materials and a hoodie.

1x VoG hard got me nothing relevant

2x Nightfall and I've gotten 11 strange coins and Universal Remote.  OK with this just because UR was one of the few items I had to dismantle when I decided to kill off my titan and make a Huntress.  And, I kinda want to try running double shotty during Prison of Elders..

Then, hit Crota normal 3x... the dicktard STILL won't give me that 2nd Blackhammer :bomb:  .

Wrapped up the night with Crota hard 2x... got the Orb-health helmet for my Hunter (sharded the old one) as well as the Chest piece (last Crota armor I needed, yay), plus various other weapons that weren't Blackhammer.

Also got one of my Invective bounties up to the synthesis GougingSmith (seriously, I hafta buy synth from you just to give it back to you, smh).  But I'm gonna hold off until after HoW drops.  Don't think it's been directly addressed, but I'm expecting it to be a 365 level Invective once the bounty is completed (without the Ascend process, that is).

That's a good idea. Damn, I just turned in my latest Invective bounty last night so I could break it down. Although I'm curious to find out how difficult the upgrade process will be. I thought all existing and new exotics would receive an added node to reach 365 and you'd have to use some new shard/mat or something to complete it. If that's the case I guess holding on to an exotic bounty isn't necessary. I could be misinformed though.

Exotics in your inventory would absolutely need to go thru the Ascend process, to hit the new max level.

But I just don't remember them addressing new exotic drops, like finishing a bounty after the DLC hits.

If the process is the same as when the Crota dlc dropped, then any exotics you acquire after the HoW dlc would be a 365 (max level) weapon; you just need to put the XP in to reach the max.

Anyway, I'll find out soon enough. It's only a week and I don't need Invective right now... what I DO need is Glimmer.

Gonna hafta farm a whole bunch in time for the 19th

If its like when TDB hit you'll get the exotic with the new damage when you finish the bounty. I got my thorn bounty before the TDB but finished it after TDB released and got upgraded damage.

 
All drops (Exotic or Legendary) will need to be ascended whether you get them pre or post-how. It was stated somewhere I just don't remember where.

 
Had some good PVP games today. So good that someone reported me, and then messaged me to tell me he did so. Damn i must have been whoopin his ass up and down the map to get him that mad.

Also i leveled up 3 factions today and no shader. But i seem to get armor for another class. -_-

On a related note, here is another match where i had a good game.

Well that sucks.

Makes sense that VoG and Crota gear would need to Ascend since they're locked into their respective raid levels. But exotics shouldn't be held back... at least they weren't when Dark Below released (except for Vex, cuz afterall that one was "frozen in time", lol).

Still gonna hold off on Invective. Like I said no hurry to get another one & I'd rather have glimmer ready to go when HoW drops.

 
We need to coordinate better. Lets pick a definite date and time everyone can work with. Oh and Totallyjem join the clan brah!

Im down for any raid this week, my warlock cant pick hard modes in crota or vog cos he hasnt beaten the normal raids yet. Im pretty good with the sword, so if we can get 3-4 people it shouldnt be a problem to do crota. VOG on the other hand, we would need at least 5 people. I wouldnt mind doing it on normal as i would like to get another chatterwhite shader.

 
How about Friday @ 2 PM EST? That should be 1 PM CST and 11 AM PST. 

If someone can't make it we can adjust the time. I still need those clan trophies so I'll make anytime work.

Alright, I probably won't be playing until Monday at this point, so hopefully I've prepped enough for HoW. On each character I have 3 out of 5 factions and cryptarch ready to go and one bounty away from leveling up. I would've had all five but I didn't feel like doing Crucible and I have a faction on each character that I never bothered to start. Glimmer and marks are maxed, got a ton of materials and a bunch of stashed glimmer items for when I get low.

Sad part is I probably won't play any HoW stuff until Wednesday. Lame.

Did you guys see:

The screenshots of captains in the VOG? Not sure why, but the idea of visiting that area for a story mission is really exciting to me.

That really stinks, but looking at the cost it is pretty cheap to ascend a 300/331 maxed weapon so not that big of a deal. I am holding finished exotics mainly because I do not have vault space at this point. It is probably time to go through everything and make some room.

Which exotics/legendaries do you guys keep multiples of outside of the obvious ones (Ghorn/IB).

EDIT - thinking more about this. if you turn in the final piece of an exotic bounty with all your weapon slots maxed does it send the gun directly to the postmaster? If so then I can at least do that until I free up some space.

If you were thinking of doing the crucible today i say STAY AWAY! Ive seen gjallarhorns hit people and they barely lose their shield, guys hit by my nova bomb and die 2 seconds later. But most of all too many guys taking shotgun shots to the chest or face point blank and not lose any health. I dont know why its so bad. Yesterday it was fine, but today its the laggiest ive ever seen.

[/rant]

 
So, I think I've done everything but 1 or 2 Heroic runs.

Guess I should finish Eric's Mom's missions on my hunter, now that Xur's about to come back.

As far as getting triplets of weapons, I'd go:

Exotics-Ice Breaker, Gally, Thorn,Truth and Vex.

Legendaries-Vision of Confluence, Fatebringer (probably Word of Crota too, since it's a Void primary), Praedyth's Revenge, Found Verdict, LDR (current Arc version) Corrective Measure and Hunger of Crota

Those would most likely get priority for me. After that, I'd probably see about doing at least one of Mida, Invective, Bad Juju, Plan C, Pocket Infinity, T-lord.

Of course, all that could change if the HoW weapons end up being Super-Good-Awesome :lol: .

And as far as finishing exotic bounties, I don't think you can complete it if you don't have an open slot. Not 100% sure though... had it happen a long time ago and just can't remember what I had to do.

Solid suggestions, though some of us are still waiting for Truth #1 to drop. Only disagreement is Corrective Measure, I do not understand why that gun gets as much love as it does. Maybe because it's a void HMG with high mag cap? IDK, I use Against All Odds or Harm's Way w/ similar rolls.

 
I have 3 of lots of things...I find myself using a bunch of vault weapons so I'm happy to be able to level them up soon. I wish I had 3 fatebringers and I'd be so happy to have ONE gjallyboooo.

Also I'll be on by 7:30 or 8 (CST) if enough people are on we can do crota easy or vault hard...I want that vault armor dammit...just need boots for my titan. 

I feel like that tornado stole my armor.

Adjuster came by today...new roof/gutters for the 3rd time in 8 years. Current roof is just over 2 years old.

CM has a crazy high Stability to go along with that high rate of fire. Plus it can carry 200 rounds with 58 per mag at those settings.

Basically really good perks without trying to hunt down that perfect roll and a Praetorian shredder all in one package

Right, but to me it becomes less impressive when you consider that the high ammo cap is compensating for the mediocre damage output. You are 100% correct that it's a solid package to use when held against the RNG-centric perk rolling on TOP of getting an alternative to drop in the first place.

If anyone sees me on, I'll probably just be grinding out bounties in crucible/pve while listening to my stereo, so please don't get offended if I completely ignore you spamming me blank invite requests.

Actually, please get offended.

Don't Correct Me... ;)

 
I work retail so my hours vary day to day and week to week. Sometimes I may get on after work and some days I don't feel up to it. On days when I close I might play in the morning if I have time. I'm on most of the day when I have the day off unless I have other plans. It's really shitty and I hate it haha.

I close tomorrow so anytime would be a bad time but I actually have the whole weekend off for once so if you guys want to hold off a day or two I'll have much more flexibility with times.

 
Don't Correct Me... ;)
Never Forget. Never Correct.

Totally not the place to ask, but has anyone had any experience painting/modding the McFarlane Halo or MegaBloks Halo figures to make...kind of a Titan?

Bungie didn't license any toy merch for Destiny, so I've been thinking of tracking down one of the white Halo 4 series figures and painting it up a tad to make it look like my Titan in chatterwhite.

I welcome any thoughts on the idea, or suggestions.

I just did bounties on all three characters for four hours or so. It was relaxing.

Nothing exciting to report...I sent gujimmy a message on psn to see if he was going to organize a raid this week.

Yea, I agree with most of those choices I'd also suggest keeping a Suros too since that is my go-to crucible weapon, Red Death as well. Swordbreaker for thron bounty. Jeez we haven't even hit on the other Crota Primaries or Black Hammer. And then the Iron Banner weapons as well. Yikes, just too many weapons for the vault space we have. I'm not a microtransaction guy but I'd pay for more vault space, lol.

You are right on the exotic bounties, I tried it last night and if you do not have an open spot on your current character you cannot even turn the bounty in.

1.2 patch is live and Queens Wrath has already started! Looks like they gave us something to do over the weekend!

 
Did anyone else notice this in the notes for House of Wolves?

Across one Iron Banner event, players competing in Iron Banner with more than one character on the same account will receive a reputation boost for the lower-ranked characters to reach parity with the higher-ranked character more quickly
 
Yeah totallyjem, I pretty much did the same.

Cleaned up a bunch of old bounties, mixing in some glimmer farming whenever the bounty lined up well for it. Then did all the new ones, plus Public Events and Daily Missions for 2 of my toons. By the 3rd toon, I was beat, so I just took care of the old stuff and signed off for the night.

Well, that's the reason why I couldn't hop on this morning for a quick Public Event :lol: .

Just shut it off it and played a couple of races in Fast & Furious.

But I am glad for the Queen's Wrath bounties... I need something new already.

And these new bounties sound like they're gonna be bite-sized Prison of Elders events.

I've been wearing my purple and gold shader on my warlock to make people jealous now everyone else can be like me and prince. Last night I switched to godofwar with my new monarchy emblem and weapons. I even rode around on my red jetted sparrow. I like color coordination.

I'm excited to get that stuff I never got a chance to earn last time since it never came back. I just got like 10 helmets and one shader before it was gone forever.

I just added it up and I've got 557 hours in this game and still no gjallybooboo

I bet 7 is close to 1000 hours...

You're not along totallyjem, I still haven't had a fatebringer or gjally drop (among other things) and have around 630 hours in (that I'll admit to). I actually haven't received an exotic weapon drop in 3 weeks. I must have an RNG curse because the only thing I received from my first full LFG VoG hard run (finally!) was the ship, the Warlock helm and mats (no weapons). The Gorgon chest this week only dropped mats for my other two characters as well.

I did see two others get the fatebringer on that run, along with someone else getting a gjally and a vex drop. So if you're missing something, raid with me and you'll sure to have it drop for you. :rofl:

It's a good thing House of Wolves is finally here to briefly divert my attention from the RNG shenanigans.

Speaking of HoW, a few people in the raid said with the HoW expansion everyone is guaranteed an exotic drop by opening a chest somewhere along the way. I'm not that naive to believe it, but if it's true I won't complain until it spews out a No Land Beyond.

Have you guys tried the new Petra given bounties? I like the added content but I'm currently 0-4 in finding the hidden chest afterwards. I just stumbled upon this guide from reddit. So maybe this will help to begin to know where at least some of the "hidden" locations could be.

Apparently you can find ammo synthesis, rare engrams, legendary engrams, materials, and Prison of Elder's Treasure Chest Keys from within these reward chests.

 
After the patch ive gotten 2 special weapon engrams, one on different characters, and a class engram that the cryptarch wont decode. They are all rare, blue engrams too. He has been decoding others though. Anyone else have this problem with the same type of engram?

Ive found a few chests today, mostly on venus, maybe they are easier to see. They look like a hive chest with a glowing light above them, like if you shot an enemy with the fang of ir yut, that type of glow.

Haven't played yet, but read something on Bungie.net about certain engrams not decrypting...  Message was to hold them until HoW officially drops as that's when Master Bunghole will be able to see what they really hold

Had no luck with the 2 chests on Earth, but just beat the first Wolves bounty on Venus and got a Queen's Wrath/Prison of Elders treasure key!

EDIT: Beat the last one on the Citadel and even got the chest, but it didn't count for the bounty!
