Re: Bungie - Destiny
One thing I wasn't a huge fan of from what I saw was it looked like if you have a maxed out exotic you need an Etheric light to bump it up to the new higher level
but .... if you have an exotic with all but the exotic shard circle filled you can use an exotic shard to bump up to the higher level
I guess I'm glad I'm holding on to exotic weapons/armor I haven't fully maxed out since it looks like acquiring etheric light for all you need it for will take much more time than having or getting exotic shards

Another thing I noticed, Commendations are not used anymore. My guess is that they'll disappear from our inventories with the new DLC.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
my bad, I rewatched the announce video from earlier and must have seen something wrong ... none of the exotics they were upgrading were fully maxed out (only with XP) and they showed the exotic shard for the last slot .... I thought they then switched to a maxed out exotic but it was a legendary and they applied the Etheric Light to it

They forget to cover commendations in the stream. Info should be coming in the weekly update. I expect to be able to trade them in for marks. 1:10 or 1:20 ratio.

I did notice one little detail. Iron Banner doesn't start until 10AM on Tuesday. Or, 8 hours AFTER reset. So much for trying to carry your rank over and buy stuff early

Re: Bungie - Destiny
OK, this week's Xur Report is brought to you by the Xur Upgrade Program. 4 weeks from now, Xur will arrive and his stock will be much smaller. So get your better rolls while you can.
This week's Xur Report is NOT brought to you by the Gjallarhorn. Sadly, me getting my 3rd hasn't made it magically appear for music and killer. Instead, we get a weak selection.
Xur is located in center Tower, next to the Crucible Quartermaster.
On with the Deals:

For the Titan, it's the Mk. 44 Stand Asides Leg Armor. Shoulder charge for the win. Nothing else interesting. Low roll.
For the Hunter, it's the Crest Of Alpha Lupi Chest. This is a very low roll for a chest piece.
For the Warlock, it's the Skull Of Dire Ahamkara Helmet. High roll for a helmet.
Telemetries: Auto Rifle, Shotgun, Machine Gun (Remember, The Gunsmith will offer these come House Of Wolves)
Heavy Ammo: YES
The Engram this week: Chest
The weapon this week is the MIDA Multi-Tool. If you don't have one, it's a good pickup. But who doesn't have one by now?
Upgrades:
NOTE: As mentioned above, the Xur Upgrade program is going away and being replaced with your ability to upgrade anytime. Because of this, it is not recommended to upgrade any Level 300 Exotic weapons you have left and just wait. (Which if you haven't upgraded by now shouldn't be an issue). As for armor, if you want a better roll, you could still use Xur, but for the most part, it's time for a holding pattern.
However, here are this week's options:
For the Hunter, it's the Achlyophage Symbiote (117) and Mask Of The Third Man (120) Helmets. Both rolls are decent, though the Symbiote was better last week.
For the Titan, it's the Helm Of Saint-14 (117) and Helm Of Inmost Light (116) Helmets. Again, decent rolls.
For the Warlock, it's the Light Beyond Nemesis (109) Helmet and Heart Of The Praxic Fire (132) Chest. These rolls are both pretty low.
Weapons: (Again, don't bother)
SUROS Regime
MIDA Multi-Tool
Thorn
Invective
Universal Remote
Patience & Time
So there we go. Pretty crappy week here. Not much else to say. We're in a holding pattern with this game, and Xur sure followed suit.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
God damn I have PvP. Decided to try and complete the invective bounty. Got up to 15 kept it there for a few games, had two great games, got up to 24. Then got absolutly wrecked by laggers and shitty maps, got knoced back down to 9. Between laggers, not getting credit for kills/assists, and some deaths taking away 2 points, I am beyond done.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
well it is called "A Dubious Task" 
sorry you aren't having luck, I'm more acceptable of Crucible and its issues ... I'd definitely help you via share play but no way my connection will support it

Re: Bungie - Destiny
So as I understand it, Radiant Shards will be the one thing you do need to upgrade All Armor? Same with the Energy for weapons? Besides the RAID can you trade/buy these now?
I dropped in a bit yesterday to get my weekly shards in the 1st & 2nd chest of the vault. I also grabbed the MIDA Tool since I never landed one...actually not a bad gun or at least to me it's not. Still have over 80 Coins.....
Might get back and play some again just to take break from Bloodborne. A heck of a game but come with some serious frustration and tests one patience. It's the A-Hole Invaders that's becoming a real pain ruining gameplay. Just getting the shards seemed a bit refreshing
