Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

Has the patch happened yet? Looks like they are about to take the servers down when I just logged in

Edit- NM the patch just happened 6 mb

I seriously doubt you will be able to cheese Atheon after this patch.

They will probly put something like if he drops off he just returns to his platform.
As far as the raid, all they did was take away that gimpy Templar safe spot, and a bunch of entrance point shenanigans. It's way faster just to do it the right anyway.

BTW it looks like all the saves were reverted with the patch. Ran the earth nightfall when it launched, and now it's no longer showing I have the buff.
Probly explains why I didn't get any loot earlier

Were you already on when the reset happened? You have to close the game or at least log all the way out or you won't get loot from things you did the previous week. Staying online is only good for cheesing the bounties twice.

Well if everyone is cheesing these modes (and depending on what the patch impacts) not sure if we're all still good to raid tomorrow in our regular group. Just let me know who is still in or out and we'll try to reconfigure as needed.

I didn't get a ship, just Mythoclast, Epilogue, Time & Patience, Helm, and speeder. Excellent first kill. =)

The Vex Mythoclast change mystifies me. The weapon only drops in the HM raid correct? It is meant to be a progression weapon for the hard mode raiding heading into the next zone. It should be nicer than the other stuff. Change the ruleset for PVP if you need to...

I'll take "PvP and developers who are too lazy/inept to split the rulesets" for $1000 Alex.

Should I be saving engrams instead of cashing them in for some reason? And should I be spending my uh blue cubes on shit like a different color speeder, or does that currency ever become useful? And does the class armor slot ever start doing something?

It's a little goofy to make sure my grenade has been used before I melee cooldown something. And not being able to counter recoil is REALLY weird to get used to.

Also, is it me or does Y-axis aiming get super slowed down when using a sniper? But not when ADS with anything else...

Cash in all your engrams, what you're doing now with them is what you will be doing with them when you're level 30. Glimmer, or your blue cubes, are most useful to buy synthetic ammo packs for raids, everything beyond that is cosmetic pretty much. Ships, emblems, etc. with the exception of some pretty bad Vanguard gear you will most likely never buy because it's all a bunch of green and white bullshit. No, your class item never does anything.

It's something to do with the PS4 controller itself. My Vision of Confluence never jams, but I also have a pretty new PS4 (bought it with Destiny). The trigger is pressure sensitive, so I suspect it has something to do with that.

If you swap the control scheme, it shouldn't jam on you anymore.

When I was experiencing "jam" issues on my PS4 controller with Destiny it ended up being a busted pin inside the controller was keeping the button slightly depressed constantly (looked like a slightly open pacman mouth from the side) - popping open the controller and taking out the pin fixed it but made it a bit hair trigger at times in exchange.

solo'd nightfall, harder than last week but nothing insane. for first room go all the way "in" and hide behind the tanker train cart, can snipe almost everything from there and just have to move out to draw stuff out. for second (spider tank) boss go all the way left and on the roof of the back building, can sniper boss and nothing shoots at you. for last boss i went on the ledge on the back left of the room but it sucked dick, reavers were constantly tossing grenades and it took f-o-r-e-v-e-r. I hear going up on the left staircase and hiding behind the barrel up there is better, but stuff was still nading me when i tried. just got some shitty sniper rifle. used icebreaker pretty much 100% of the entire thing, sniping the captains sucked balls since they'd strafe and hide constantly.

gonna see if i can solo atheon still or if they hotfixed it, don't care either way though, got ship and speeder last week only thing missing is mythoclast and it sounds like it sucks anyways. you know dlc #1 will have a new strike that you can do at 28 and gives light 31 gear, making all your raid gear completely obsolete.

and yeah launch PS4s have fucked up controllers imo, sony is very quiet about it but all the new ones are much better. i bought a blue one and no jam problems at all, i keep my black one as a backup battery.

i have every single exotic bounty weapon but because i got em on two chars i keep getting them. have so many ass energies not even worth the effort of making a second weapon and sharding it. first world destiny problems

bungie has a nice sense of humor at least

Hmm im going to buy a new controller to see if that works. I get around the jamming by double tapping, but its annoying
