Re: Bungie - Destiny
I think I'll pick this up since I don't have an exotic helmet for my hunter. I really like the 3rd eye perk for all of your primary weapons.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
1.2 patch is now live. Notes should be up on Bungie.net shortly
https://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Upd...News?aid=12887
1.2.0 : The one to pre-load House of Wolves
Destiny Expansion II will change the way we all play and upgrade our characters. Before the release of the House of Wolves, we’re deploying new code that will impact the player experience.
Weapons
Fixed an issue in which Vex Mythoclast was not respawning with primary ammunition
Fixed an issue with the Hive Disruptor perk, which now appears in the Black Hammer perk set again
Fixed an issue in which the Phantom Gift and White Nail perks would become interrupted when non-precision damage occurred from other perks
Bonus damage from other perks (e.g., Explosive Rounds, Hive Disruptor) no longer interrupts the count
Three precision hits within the time window will trigger the intended refund bonus
Fixed an issue in which the Hive Disruptor perk did not work correctly with sustained damage events (auto rifles, pulse, etc.)
Oracle Disruptor perk now triggers more often
Hive Disruptor perk now triggers more often, but does less damage per event
PVP
Salvage: Moved the first Relic to more consistently appear in a centralized position on the map
Fixed an issue that caused players to wait an excessively long time to respawn
Tower
Faction reward packages will no longer produce Shards
The Speaker will now exchange Ascendant and Radiant Materials for Glimmer and Motes of Light
Xûr will now exchange Strange Coins for Motes of Light
Commendations are no longer required to purchase gear
Commendations can now be converted to receive +250 gains in Vanguard, Crucible, or Faction reputation
Note: Etheric Light will not be made available for ascending gear until the release of House of Wolves
User Interface
Vendor Interaction Panel has been updated to support Quest chains
Vendor Interaction Panel now has better animations and fewer popping issues
Number of buffs that can be displayed on the Character screen has been increased
Inventory item stacks that have reached their highest possible count will now display gold numbers along with an alert in the tooltip that maximum quantities have been acquired
Audio
Added improved feedback for players who take damage from energy weapons
Companion
Fixed an issue in which the Mercury Grimoire card was not being awarded
Retroactively awarded the Mercury Grimoire card to players who have found the "Mercury Memory Fragment" Dead Ghost
Vendor items, damage types, and perks will now be visible on Bungie.net and the Mobile App
Technical
Addressed a crash on Xbox One that was induced when too many explosions/projectiles were generated
Fixed an issue that affected the network quality user interface
Indicators will no longer display persistently bad ("red") quality after a user's connection recovers from a temporary quality issue
The quality indicators should now always correctly reflect a user's live connection quality
*Addendum
We have discovered that Legendary Engrams will drop in 1.2.0 that the Cryptarchs will not recognize
Hold on to all newly-acquired purple Engrams until May 19th to benefit from their upgraded decryption skillset
The following is a preview of changes that will take effect on May 19th, 2015 on or soon after 10AM PST with the manual activation of House of Wolves.
Destiny Hot Fix - 05/19/2015
1.2.0.1 : The one with House of Wolves
Along with the release of Destiny Expansion II, we are delivering some new investment and upgrade paths. The following are changes that will have an impact on every player of Destiny.
PVP
General
Added a new Daily Reward package upon completion of the first game in the Daily Featured Crucible playlist
Added Passage Coins to reward streams across all playlists, including the Daily reward package
Increased Crucible Mark drop rate across all playlists by 100%
Increased Crucible Reputation earnings across all playlists by 100%
Increased Rare Weapons and Gear drop chance for completing games across all playlists by 100%
Added Legendary Weapon drops into the Crucible reward stream across all playlists
Added Dark Below maps into all Crucible playlists for all players to enjoy (Pantheon, The Cauldron, Skyshock)
Iron Banner
Adjusted the power curve for Iron Banner playlists to accommodate the competitive range of power in 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
Six additional Iron Banner bounties have been added to the bounty rotation
Removed an errant buff from Iron Banner Control playlist
Etheric Light will now be available at Ranks 3 and 5 in Iron Banner
Tower
The Cryptarch will no longer convert newly acquired Legendary Engrams to Shards (possibilities include gear/weapons or exotics)
Daily Heroics will produce Motes of Light in lieu of Shards
Ascending: Year 1 Legendary and Exotic gear can be upgraded to the highest power levels available in Year 1
User Interface
The Control UI above the mini scoreboard has been fixed & returned to the players HUD
Technical
Added a new “Connection Recovery” System
Specific player networking problems will now be fixed instead of kicking affected players to orbit
This will be enabled first for Trials of Osiris and rolled out to other activities over time

Re: Bungie - Destiny
I also didn't realize that "commendations" are going away with HoW. Does this mean that "level 2 + commendation" gear will now be just level 2 or level 3, which is really what "level 2 + commendation" meant?

Small little tip. Once you kill the target, and are able to find the chest, if you leave the area and can make it back in time you can grab the chest again

Re: Bungie - Destiny
at work so haven't even got the the content yet but other things I've read
look for "a pack of wolves is prowling" message .... similar to blades of Crota have invaded message
have arc weapons on you .... particularly shotgun
save ammo from scorch cannon as waves of enemies get harder
when you get an ether key look for loot chest with glowing light like the Fang marker light .... here are some areas where the chests have appeared https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheG...cations_found/
bounty rep goes to Queen's Wrath rep (which should have been reset since original appearance)
and as mentioned by gold you can I guess leave an area and come back to the chest again
there also is a new (heavy) pike in the game now (at Ember Caves)

Re: Bungie - Destiny
reports of ToO Coins Of Passage dropping as Crucible (daily mode - currently Skirmish) rewards now
would seem to go against the patch notes effective date

Re: Bungie - Destiny
Tell me if I'm nuts for thinking this, but I only see two scenarios in which Bungie would allow Xur to sell Gjallarhorn again:
- House of Wolves (or Comet, or...) introduces a new weapon that's immensely powerful, very alluring, and very rare, basically making Gjallarhorn old news (the idea being that part of Gjallarhorn's appeal is that so few people have it)
- Interest wanes somewhat, and Gjallarhorn is sold to give Destiny a shot in the arm (there was a spike with Ice Breaker, right?)

Re: Bungie - Destiny
It's kind of a pain to find the chest after you kill the target. Do the chests have a chance to drop anything else other than blue engrams, glimmer, and synth?

Re: Bungie - Destiny
heard it is clearly best if you have other guardian's helping in the area and that you make it clear you have found the chest to others (shooting, dancing, wave, pointing, whatever)

Re: Bungie - Destiny
Well folks, here it is. The Final Xur 2.0 Report, brought to you by Exotic Rocket Launchers. Be it wolfpack rounds, solar flares or extremely aggressive tracking, Destiny has a yellow rocket launcher to suit your needs.
If you need a helmet, Xur offers one for every class. If you need an exotic Rocket Launcher...OK, who am I kidding? This week, Xur becomes the ultimate troll.
Xur is located in North Tower, way at the end of the walkway, past the Speaker.
I'll break tradition this week and start with this week's weapon: It's The Truth. Wow. I mean, it's not a bad weapon, and is quite fun to use in Crucible with its tracking and proximity circuit, but if there was ever a week to whip out the one who shall not be named, this was it.
As for the rest:
For the Titan, it's An Insurmountable Skullfort Helmet. Decent helmet for Crota, but an absolutely shit roll.
For the Hunter, it's the Knucklehead Radar helmet. Gives you third eye on all primary weapons, but is well behind the third man mask and symbiote helmets. It does have a great roll. Am I the only one that thinks the third man mask should have had the third eye perk?
For the Warlock, it's the Apothoesis Veil helmet. Again, another good helmet for Crota. Good roll.
The engram this week is for gauntlets. Save your motes for next week.
Telemetries are Auto Rifle/Fusion/Machine Gun.
As you can see, the trolling didn't stop at offering Truth. The final upgrade group includes the weapon that shall not be named, as one last middle finger to all of you (well, killer I guess at this point) who still lack it.
Don't both upgrading weapons anymore, wait for next week. The only decent upgrade here is the Alpha Lupi for the Hunter. The rest all suck. Buy the Radar or Veil if you want to upgrade it.
And that is that. Next week Xur will be back with Version 3.0. Known changes:
The upgrade section will be removed, being replaced by Ascending our own exotic gear. Shards will be needed for this, and will still be sold by Xur.
Xur will have new items to sell, and hopefully at least 1 next week.
As mentioned above, don't buy the exotic engram this week, next week the engram will include the new exotics, giving you a shot at something new.
Xur may not show up in the tower, there's a possibility he could appear in the Reef instead. I would expect that next week would be a good way to make him debut there.
Anyway, that's it. Fuck Xur and Bungie for the ultimate troll week.

..... just be aware
The Truth is still The Truth

Re: Bungie - Destiny
Did the Queen's Bounty at The Forgotten Shores on Earth. Couldn't find that damn chese and the countdown timer was taunting me the whole time!!
If the blue engrams are the type that can't be decoded yet, will they automatically be HoW gear? Or if I have a blue engram from somewhere else and decode it after HoW drops, is it now the same exact blue engram you pulled from one of these chests? (I hope that makes sense)
What is with the day on the bounty? Can you not do the day 2 one until tomorrow? Or does that one go away after day 2?
