No warlock helm, or even engram! Tempted to pick up starfire protocol...just because...and upgrade my dusty old Thorn.

I got it, fully upgraded it and then vaulted it. Decent enough chest piece and nice to have as an option.

I will do the same with Lucky rasberry on my hunter (I have the old version). I will also upgrade The Spine gauntlets and Alpha Lupi so I have the latest versions. My hunter is maxed out on her current armour (only missing CE chest piece) so I may as well chuck the bounty XP onto something.



My wife will be happy as she needs a strong chest piece for her WL (currently running a 21 light Blue thing from the ROC). Increase of 9 light might be enough to take her straight to level 28.

Absolute beast in PvP. Fairly useless in PvE. That's my experience anyway.

What danclivo says, but in the case of PvE, I find it actually quite good as it turns TLW into a medium to short range high firing hand cannon paired with a good sniper to cover the longer range needs - and during certain moments, you can aim down to snap that distance headshot.

If you like hand cannon and want something different, especially the whole cowboy action, gun twirling stunt, it's a good gun to go for.
 
so ummm this lot is happening next week

Crota’s End – Updates
The existing Pit treasure chest reward moved to killing Ir Yut, the Deathsinger. She has a chance to drop Exotic weapons and armor, class pieces, and Radiant materials.
The Pit treasure chest will now contain Radiant Materials.

Pit Encounter
Removed the physics impulse caused by exploding lanterns.

Bridge Encounter
Players will now be required to cross the bridge in order to complete the bridge encounter.
Players will now be required to wait for the bridge to be completed prior to crossing with the sword.

Deathsinger Encounter
Fixed a rare case where the Shriekers would not spawn, preventing players from reaching the Deathsinger.

Crota Encounter
Two Swordbearers will no longer spawn at the same time at the outset of the encounter.
Crota will now recover from his kneeling state after a player quits.
Fixed a bug that allowed players to remove the “Presence of Crota” using a Radiance Warlock’s Fireborn ability.
Fixed a bug that made the Oversoul appear destroyed to some players in a Fireteam when it was actually still active.

Vault of Glass – Updates
Exotic weapon drops in the Vault of Glass are now Level 32.

Hohoho have a happy wipefest! I am glad they finally will fix these. I went on a legit run with some randoms and oh boy, except the lamps part all the others after hours of wipes in every section we just cheesed them. Next week will be a lot of whining. Till now there was no challenge and we were getting items for doing nothing, when the next expansion is coming in march, 2 months of doing the same things (expansion 1) over and over would be boring. Give us a challenge. I am sure though there will be other bugs with the new code coming out lol
 
Well at least my hunter will still have a chance of getting her chest piece...

Don't touch me gauntlets makes the Abyss a relaxing stroll with these random thrall things making a lot of noise.

I've maxed out Suros so I have been using The Chance hand cannon but I find the clip size (6) a little small. I may just get it and give it a whirl
 
I will give CE a go after the patch....but I'm not spending any more than half an hour on Crota....I reckon I've spent 8-10 hours trying to take him down legit. I wouldn't mind so much if it was fun...like figuring out Atheon, everyone is involved, it's exciting there's time pressure. Sitting for hours on end standing still shooting at boomers and Crota is least 'fun' thing in Destiny (glimmer farming comes a close second).

At least you can still nab materials from the first chest....I think that's a concession to allow people to farm materials with alts.

The chance is a cool gun, was my first hand cannon till I got Thorn.

TLW has to be used differently to make it excel, it's all about hip and rapid firing like the old western cowboys, aiming remotely anywhere near the neck line and you'll get headshots time after time from hip shooting.

Before the final perk, the gun isn't as stable, just bear with it or level it up via bounty till you get the hip firing perk.
 
RNG i love you!!!!

I was bitterly disappointed xur wasn't selling gjallarhorn again so thought I'll have a go at vog hard mode to see if i can get fatebringer or vex mythoclast. And what should drop for killing atheon? GJALLARHORN!!!!!

Plus xur is doing the upgrade this week so i can immediately upgrade it. SO HAPPY!!!

Personally I think it's a waste upgrading armour. Essentially, it costs 14 strange coins + ~7500 glimmer. You need 2 shards to max it out with each being worth 7 coins. Buying armour costs 13 coins and no glimmer, which has become one of the more precious commodities these days!

I have more coins that I can use (over 100 again) and XP that will otherwise go to waste on my Hunter. I also have ~7 Exotic shards already with 2 more SGA on the way to being procured and sharded (already have two).

Glimmer is easy (if boring) to farm so I am not overly concerned by that.

The Glimmer cap really doesn't need to be raised with these upgrades costing so much though.

I also think the Gunsmith should have a selection of upgrade options as well (making him useful past level 18 beyond synths).
