Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

The iOS app finally got a much needed update, including actual iPad support. The difference is night and day.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

It's that time again! Xur is back..and he's bad!

Xur is located in North Tower, in front of the big ass door across from the speaker.

For the Titan, it's the Taikonaut. Need a tracking Rocket Launcher? Use this helmet!

For the Hunter, it's Sealed Ahamkara Grasps. Smoke for days...

For the Warlock, it's the Apotheosis Veil. Regen your health, grenade and melee when you use your Super!

No weapon this week because...

The Engram this week is for Gauntlets.

The Legacy Engram is for Chests.

Keep in mind we are now 11 days away from the April Update. With that update, all Year 1 exotic armor will be in Year 2. So keep that in mind when buying legacy armor engrams.

Also, should you buy gauntlet engrams, don't decrypt them until AFTER the April Update.

That'll do it for the text report. The video report will be a little late this week. And here it is:

ToO map(s) is .... rotating maps (Asylum, Burning Shrine, Pantheon, Rusted Lands, Widow's Court) -eek-

chest and MG are the gets

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

For those that still run the Nightfall:

The Sunless Cell

Epic - Yo dog, I heard you like shields, so I gave the enemies some shields for their shields
Solar Burn - Ouch....HOT!
Grounded - You jump....you die
Fresh Troops - Where the fuck did these guys come from?
Catapult - Make it rain!

This Week In Bungie is out: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Artic...ngie--04072016

Also, here's the overall changes talked about yesterday: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Artic...--April-Update


And here's what could be the dumbest change they've ever made for PVE:

Reduce the total Ammo Inventory for all Sniper Rifles by roughly 5-7 rounds (exact amount depends on a given weapon’s Magazine and Inventory stats)

Basically, they're forcing the raid to now be significantly tougher by forcing an extra round on Warpriest and Golgoroth.

I mean we could see the Black Spindle go from 18 rounds to 13 or even 11. And that's not even talking about the 1000 Yard Stare, which loses even more ammo! WTF?

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

And it's that time of the week again. Xur has arrived and brought us all...deals?

Xur is located in North Tower, down past the Speaker at the end of the walkway.

For Titans, It's The Crest Of Alpha Lupi. Like to revive fast? Well, next week it'll be a little less fast!

For Hunters, It's Don't Touch Me Gauntlets. Wanna run the Crota Raid? These are perfect!

For Warlocks, it's The Impossible Machines. Nothing says you have a great super better than having 2 great supers in 1.

No weapon this week because...

The Exotic Engram this week is for Chests. Want a Twilight Garrison? Here's your chance! Pro tip: Hang onto these until after the April update.

The Legacy Engram this week is for Gauntlets. Don't buy this. Next week, all Exotic armor pieces will be available in Year 2.

And that'll do it for the text version this week, and that's all for Xur 4.0. Next week we get Xur 5.0, and we'll see if he's changing at all. Until then, stay tuned for the video report, brought to you by a new sponsor!

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Bought a few chest engrams to hold until next week.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

...and a Snickers. Damn Youtube advertising :mad:

Here's all the PS exclusives coming next week.

The Zen Meteor Sniper, a sparrow, and new armor sets for each character, which will drop from Sublime Engrams.

BTW, the Zen Meteor is going to be a random drop, not a quest reward.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Glad I have around 5 exotic secondary engrams in my vault!

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

From Bungie's Twitter:

So if you haven't gotten that sweet scout from Dead Orbit, this'll be your last chance!

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Should I pick one up? I heard it has a pretty good roll this week.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

You might wanna hold off, it doesn't mark enemies...

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Too bad - must be hot garbage.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

OK, so I'm toying with the idea of doing a live Twitch feed after I get the update downloaded for those of you who can't be on at that time and want answers to some burning questions.

Topics covered:

New Vendor Rolls
Exotic Kiosk unveiling
Legendary and Exotic Engram decoding
Sterling Treasure opening (though I'm sure chase and killer would be FAR more helpful on that than me)
New Faction and Variks package unveils
Why am I still playing this game?

Are there any other possible topics or questions that anyone has?

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

How big is that update and the over/under on how many hours it takes Ice to download it are the first two things that come to mind.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Both are approximately 1.7. The update is around 1.7 GB and it will take Ice 1.7 days to download the update.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Ok sounds about right - I'll take the over.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Perhaps I'll show up unannounced with my Titan hopefully decked out in full Spektar armor. :lol:

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

you will be the winner

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Well, just remember that while the download is only 1.7 gigs, you need around 20 gigs free during the update, and it's going to go through that whole process of checking the files.

Also, if you're at work and want to get your console to start the process early, there's a couple ways to do it. One would be the new Remote Play app for PC. The other is to go to the PS Store and grab something like a theme from there. If you have it download to the PS4, it will also cause the PS4 to check for updates and trigger the process.

EDIT: We're now in the magic hour. The update will be dropping at any time. From Bungie's Twitter:
