That'd be one hell of a step if Activision replaced paid for DLC with micro-transactions. I expect these to sit side by side, merrily bringing in the money money moneeeeeeyy.

But yes, I do want the slow clap..

This is entirely what Kotaku say Activision / Bungie are doing

I'll be very happy if that turns out to be true but just can't see it.

I can. I suspect they are basing this off CollectorsEditionContentGate and the sales of the emote / class item pack on the store. They've seen the money made and have decided there is a market after all.

Plus the 3 class specific legendaries when you hit rank 2

Plus the hand cannon at rank 5. Its called "The First Curse"

That's not class specific though, which is what we were talking about

Anyone had much luck with the strike specific legendaries? I was trying to get the funky titan helm from Sunless Cell on lunch, did about 7 runs and no luck. Good for ToC and engram farming though as it only takes 10 minutes.

I haven't had much luck but the Mrs has received the Cabal Scout (but scraped it) and the Titan helm from that strike. She got it on her first completion...

 

[Drunzer]

I have the Titan helm, good roll too. Nothing else apart from that though, I need to do more vanguard strikes.

 

[Fallen god]

I got warlock gloves, i hate warlocks, go figures.

Can i ask what you guys use as a good/cheap headset for communication? Cat chewed the thin cable that came with the ps4 so need to puck up a new one if i intend on raiding

I've only had Darkblade's Helm (the one you're trying for) and Mau'uls Maulers. Both of them look pretty ridiculous!

 

[Fr0dders]

Yeah seen the darkblade helm in crucible. It looks **** It doesn't make you look scary like the darkblade, it just makes you look like you've got a fat head.

I think if our guardian went on the 'roids and got a massive axe along with that helmet we could be scary too.

The Ace of Spades *Hunter only* is also a decent Hand cannon. Drops as part of the Rank 3 Gunsmith "quest".

The Ace of Spades is possibly my favourite weapon since Destiny dropped. Not just because of the stats and perks - it's how they all combine. You shoot an enemy in the head, it explodes, replaces a bullet in your magazine and gives that 'click' audio cue. Firefly on guns without the click don't do it for me anymore! And it spins on your finger like TLW. Badass

Quest for the sleeper simulant has begun !

https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3nti72/the_first_firewall_quest_available/

And to think of all the effort people put into searching the heroics. Looks like the quest everybody theorized we needed in addition to the 4 relics just dropped in our lap on this week's arms day !

*edit* unlocking all the codes unlocks a quest, Completing this quest gives you that missing 5th relic. This has 5 modules that must be completed before it can be handed in.

*edit2* looks like you have to do the Ishtar Collective, dismantle heavy weapons and do some Warsat public events. Its all so exciting and i'm stuck at work watching it all unfold on reddit !

*edit3* looks like you have to do a warsat on earth, moon & mars as Venus doesn't have warsat events which is why you have to do Ishtar collective. Somebody got a "Plasma Confinement Module 2" from a Warsat on the Moon. Complete the Ishtar Collective (the Archive) mission to get the Ionized Shell Harmonics

What is armsday then?

Same here, my productivity has been severely impacted by this.

 

[Fr0dders]

What is armsday then?

Its the gunsmith reset day. New weapons to test, and several quests ask you to wait until the next Arms Day for stuff.

 

[Davey_Pitch]

What is armsday then?

It's when the Gunsmith delivers new orders of weapons for you to test, as well as any orders you've put in with him. It's every Wednesday. For me, it means today is when I can get all 3 exotic swords

And damn, why do I have to be working late when this quest is on?! I might not even get home until 9:30 tonight. Guess I'll not be going to bed early just in case everything has to be done today.

 

[Fr0dders]

I'm supposed to be writing monthly reports today. oops ...

 

[TehBluebear]

Which 4 relics are the ones that people are saying we need? Is it the Dvalin jobbies? Because I've been handing those into the Gunsmith

 

[ZG002]

Same lol. They were partly correct with the theory.

 

[Fr0dders]

Yes. Theory is you have to handed in all 4 DVALIN relics to get the quest.

Has the first quest showed up on your map ?

Its called the First Firewall and should appear on Earth

[TehBluebear]

Ahhh, I see. I thibk I've handed 3 to him so fsr, not sure. Will see if it's there when I get home tonight.

As an aside, how does one obtain Thorn and The Last Word? They look amazing and I love the lore behind them so I'm wanting to add them to my collection. I assume Thorn will be from a Legacy Engram from Xur as it's Y1, but not sure on TLW.
