Destiny

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
So if you guys haven't read the patch notes yet, I recommend you do. TONS of exotic weapon changes. Thorn got a huge buff, Bad Juju got a buff, Mythoclast got a buff, Invective got a buff, etc. Templar can no longer be pushed off (thank Jesus). Quite a few goodies. Head over to Bungie.net and you can read them all.

I'm so excited to get my maxed Thorn back out. I love that gun so much.
 
I'll do it, if you guys want hard, I have to use my Hunter, if easy i'll use my lock.

Oh well pushing Templar off had a good run. It was kind of embarrassing at times, and honestly would have been easier just to kill him with the rcf group, since the majority of the group are Hunters lol.
 
Who else wants to raid today? We need 1-2 more on PS4. Ready to go now. I'm MJA1207 on PSN
 
Well, this is the last week before the new DLC. I'm sure that will consume all of my Destiny play time, so I'd like to try the raid on hard. Last week was a bit crazy due to the holiday season. I'm still hunting for gloves, but I'm level 29.75 (lol). I know that Mdog, bigfoot, Dang, and Shad are all level 30. I've got Atheon's Epilogue, Ice Breaker, and Hezen Vengeance all maxed, currently working on Vision of Confluence. I'll have the weapons, but I doubt I'll be 30 unless I get lucky and grab gloves.

Can people raid this weekend? If so, when works best?

I now have a reason to complete the Thorn bounty. I really like this new buff, I also like what they did with the exotics and how you have to get something called an exotic shard, it makes it more "exotic."

When the dlc comes out, after a few weeks, we should all be level 31 or 32. When that happens, we really should try for the flawless raid in VOG. Other than that one, none of the other trophies are what I would consider hard.

That's if you guys are interested of course. The hardest part of the whole raid would be the Gorgons, but since our group is mostly Hunters, it might actually be easier than the jump puzzle part.
 
I hadn't played in over a week and I was iffy about paying $35 for the expansion pass but I did it today. Hopefully they don't disappoint.
 
So I just wanted to warn everyone about using any exotic shards.

DO NOT USE EXOTIC SHARDS YET!!!!!

You will need them to your current exotic weapons from Xur.

Basic rundown of the new system.

Step 1. Get 7000 glimmer, and an exotic shard.

Step 2. Go to Xur.

Step 3. Pray to RNGesus that he has the gun you want to upgrade in stock this time.

Step 4. Pay Xur 7000, and an exotic shard, to get your weapon reset to 0 upgrades, yes 0 upgrades.

Step 5. Now we regain all the experience we previously gained for our exotics, and now we have maxed exotics again.

So if you read me right, then you understand that you can upgrade your Ghorn for example, only if it is one of the weapons that Xur brings with him that week to let you upgrade. Then Ghorn starts with 0 bubbles filled in, and that to upgrade Ghorn you actually need 2 exotic shards, not 1.

I don't like this at all. The requirements are not the problem for me (although the internet is pretty pissed...), the problem for me is that we have to hope Xur brings the gun we want to upgrade with him that week. Good luck on Hawkmoon PS users, since as I understand, Xur is synced to both platforms, same as Nightfalls.

This is pretty outrageous imo. That sweet gun you've got, is now useless, unless you upgrade it, but you can't upgrade it because it isn't in the randomly generated list of weapons Xur brought with him for you to upgrade. Oh well your loss, try next week when Xur brings Ice Breaker for the 2nd week in a row.

I have an Xbone and Destiny, but I haven found the time to even open it yet. I imagine I will soon, but the point is my character is level 0.

I disagree about the exotic upgrade. I like this new system. Yes, it means more work and yes you need luck on your side to upgrade your weapons or armor, but doing so, makes that item truly exotic or to stand out as you have to invest significant resources and time into it (again in some cases). I feel like doing so puts the old exotics on par with the new, much harder to get exotics from the new raid.

Collecting exotics is cool and all, but when you can have up to three characters and run each one during the nightfall and get up to three exotic items (doesn't always happen, but you get my point) and up to 27 strange coins (to buy more exotics), by a certain point, a feel a little bit of the luster has gone away from the exotics.

Also, there's only a handful of items that I'd consider upgrading right now anyways. For me, to start, I'll be looking at upgrading Ice Breaker, The Armamentarium, and Suros Regime (maybe). I'd also upgrade Gjallarhorn if I ever obtain it.

EDIT: Just realized that all exotics are nerfed down to zero bubbles filled in. I thought you could keep what you have leveled and have the option to upgrade or keep your maxed out materials. Has this been confirmed?

That's what all the outrage is about Gymbo.

It’s important to note that this process resets the upgrades on your exotic item, but you’ll now have a new higher damage or defense cap to work towards – so you’ll need to decide if you’d rather keep your fully upgraded old version of a weapon or armor piece, or start over. With that said, the process of upgrading exotic items is now faster, and does not require ascendant materials. Instead, the last slot requires one additional exotic shard, as revealed in Monday’s patch


When you trade it in it gives you back a weapon that is 302 damage. But it has no perks. Some exotics are pretty garbage without their perks. Actually other than Suros, I can't think of any other exotic that could be considered better unupgraded.

Also, there's no raid weapons available in the normal mode raid, that's reserved for hard mode, an actual incentive to play hard mode this go around (for me). Supposed to be an increased drop rate for raid armour too, in both modes. Don't know how it will work out, but hopefully it's much better.
 
Yeah, I posted the same link above. I mean, if you have the option of turning in your maxed exotic for a newer version that you have to re-level up or keeping your maxed out version, then that's not bad and my original post earlier stands. What I thought was going on after reading your message was that all exotics were being reset and you had to hope Xur was there to offer the upgrade for your exotic and then be faced with the dilemma of leveling up again to get back to where it was originally or hope Xur would upgrade your exotic gear.
