Re: Bungie - Destiny

I'm up for a raid, especially if I can get a Hawkmoon.

I really hope this drops...

... so we can Gjallarhorn it one last time.

I wonder if this means I shouldn't bother working on my Elder Cipher as it would auto-complete and let me pick my last weapon (Promise)

also does that mean if I have exotic bounties sitting on characters I should pick one, let it auto-complete and collect the weapon/shard? Would certainly be an easy way to earn Thorn for those with the bounty not willing to put in the work

Don't care. I want those Grimore points. :p After the drop I may have to run PoE 34 again, to get the rest of the guns I don't have

No points for weapon cards ;)

You do get the card however.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

This is The End, Destiny Year 1, The End
This is The End, my tentacle faced friend, The End
Bungie's Elaborate Plan, The End
With Strange Coins you and I can buy, most of them
Lots of armor and supplies, he vends
I'll never spend all of my coins, again.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Xur Report for Week 52, the final week of year 1. Xur pulled a bit of a curve on me as I had planned on focusing on the last stand of The Tower, which changes quite a bit next week. But he decided to take his shop to the Reef this week, which we have no idea what will be happening there.

Anyway, if you take a trip to the Reef, here's what Xur will offer you:

http://oi58.tinypic.com/2q3b19t.jpg

For the Titan, it's the Helm Of Saint-14. It's only the 4th time he's sold this item, and the first time in 13 weeks. The roll of 125 is excellent. And it's probably the best Titan Exotic piece. If you don't have one, pick it up. And once you do, enjoy blinding everyone that comes into your bubble.

Odds of getting Updated to 2.0: 100%

It was revealed earlier this week that the Saint-14 will be getting upgraded. It was also revealed that it now will work with shaders. So the best gets better. Again, if you don't have this, get it.

For the Hunter, it's Khepri's Sting gauntlets. This is the second time he's sold these, and the first time in 11 weeks. The roll of 91 is really low, but if you don't have them, might as well pick them up.

Odds of getting Updated to 2.0: 10%

We don't know about any of the Hunter armor in regards to getting updated, but so far it seems like Exotics from House Of Wolves aren't getting pushed forward yet. I'd guess the Shine and even Don't Touch Me's would get picked before these, so my odds are really low.

For the Warlock, it's the Obsidian Mind Helmet. I know many are disappointed that The Ram is not here, but don't let that bring down the fact that this is a good helmet as well. This is the 5th he's sold this item, and the first time in 13 weeks. The roll of 60 Intellect and 55 Strength isn't great, but again, if you don't have it, get it. Awesome helmet.

Odds of getting Updated to 2.0: 100%

Yep, another item that has been confirmed as getting a 2.0 version. All the more reason to grab it if you don't have it.

The engram this week is for Helmets. Those still needing a Ram, well, here's your chance!

The weapon this week is Patience & Time. This is the 5th time he's sold this weapon, and the first time in 6 weeks. Yeah, this is kind of a troll move, seeing as it was sold so recently, while other weapons lie on the shelf. Decent sniper, but does anybody still need one?

Odds of getting Updated to 2.0: 50%

We just don't know about this weapon yet. We know that the Ice Breaker is being left behind, and it looks like No Land Beyond will be as well. So that would favor a return of P&T. But there is also a new exotic sniper that blinds nearby enemies, so who knows? I put it as a tossup.

And that will do it for this week, for a more detailed analysis, stay tuned for the video report, with special guest Petra Venj!

And we'll see you next week for Year 2, Week 1.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

You know what, I don't know if I want all the exotic armor to be affected by shaders. I kinda hope we have the option to not have exotics affected. I like the uniqueness to exotics.

Well, they did say not all of them will be.

I'm guessing something like Khepri's Sting would stay unique, or third man. Maybe even The Ram would stay.

I mentioned it with Saint-14 because that one was singled out as working with shaders now.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

As long as it still stands out even with a partial palette swap I think I would still be ok with it, Like HotPF which maintains it's recognizability with shader changes

Re: Bungie - Destiny

So my postmaster on my hunter is bursting at the seams. I have 7/20 messages (which are all cryptarch/faction/public event packages), 6 redbull codes sparkle light thingees, and about 17 lost items (weapons/shaders/engrams). I originally thought the total you could have in the postmaster was 20 items, However it looks like it is 20 of each type of items (20 messages, 20 lost items, 20 whatever the redbull codes sparkle light thingees qualify as) . Am I correct? (I have had nothing deleted)

he meant Spine just so no one thinks they may be missing an armor piece that doesn't exist

Re: Bungie - Destiny

@cruz
not sure how many focused lights can be held (5) but yes to the combo of max 20 weapon/armor/shader/ship/emblem/engram before your oldest gets deleted and separately 20 faction/public event/cryptarc packages

Re: Bungie - Destiny

So I wanted to kind of put together what we know about Exotics for TTK. I was looking for Fairly recent videos that broke down the trailers to find exotics. Found these videos informative.

He talks about these weapons in the video:

And then of course are the Exotics that were tweeted out by Bunjie.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/THsZwX-5eZA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Spoiler:

Seems like a lot of exotics. What do you guys think?

Oh yeah and I forgot the Sword: Raze Lighter

I'd give my opinion but I have no time to explain.

I guess Chase will have to wait till year 3 to get that PS4 Scout Rifle. :lol:

I'd probably have a better chance switching to the XB1 version.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Will the speaker still be able to convert shards to motes after Tuesdays update? I'm wondering if I should convert everything over now.
