Pretty easy NF tbh, might just solo it on my warlock.

Radiant dance machines (shard) for me, that Arc version of The Cure with tracking could be pretty handy (did it roll field scout?), I don't think there are any standard arc tracking launchers.

Yeah, I thought it was a rubbish drop at first but when I looked at it properly its not too bad.

tracking, arc, field scout and can't remember the other perk (maybe reload).

I've not noticed many more bugs, what I have noticed is the average player seems to be clueless on many of the relic mechanics in VoG so when it comes to their turn to use it things just go to ****. I'm assuming the main reason is a lot of them are newer players who aren't really sure what they're doing and they just rely on others to carry them. That wouldn't be a problem except it's hard to carry more than 2 players through Atheon due to how the encounter works. The thing is these players never speak up until after the **** has hit the fan, if they ever say anything at all.

These advertisements for specific requirements on destinyLFG for VoG are laughable and completely unnecessary but part of that may be due to ignorance on how level affects damage and damage taken on lower level enemies.

If I see an advert for a specific character type, or asking for 30+ on VOG then I don't bother responding, as chances are it's a group of scrubs.

People who have been playing for any kind of time can just jump in and get it done.
I was using my hunter last week levelling up some weapons, fancied a VOG game and replied to an advert.
Got asked what character I was using and answered with "really!?!"
Took me by surprise, not been asked what character I plan on using since before Christmas, only the scrubbiest of scrubs worry about that kind of thing.
 
Did the first of two NF's with my Mrs last night and got the FWC Conduit pulse rifle. Rolled with field scout and a couple of other reasonable perks. Might give it a go at some point.

Mrs got 12 strange coins which is reasonable considering she needs them to get something for her new hunter from Xur.

After that we did a few level 20 strikes (Viper?) and honestly it felt pretty good to help her and another level 21/22 to get some better gear and armour. Her hunter is now level 22 thus meaning she can move onto the next level (or with an exotic jump straight to VG Tiger).

Following the patch I haven't noticed much difference (not used any pulse rifle yet) but one thing I did note was I can longer gain more than 2 rockets from a heavy drop using my shoot to loot scout. I was routinely getting up to 5 before but now regardless of how fast I shoot I only get two.

On a positive note though I also found you can finally use heavy ammo synths if your consumables are full. I found this out by accident and immediatly started to face palm when I used a synth only to then notice my RL reloading.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this or if I am just going mad. :o:p

Both of those are a result of the patch. They've also fixed the heavy ammo bug where you would lose ammo on respawning. Patch notes linked below.

The shoot to loot was nerfed so to speak in the patch, which means you can only get it once rather than the 2/3 times previously if you shot quick enough

Shoot to Loot: Two-second cooldown added to perk to prevent extra ammunition gains while ammunition bricks despawn

Has anyone else also noticed that upon death ice breaker respawns with ammo in magazine? Doing crota last night was surprised that it still had rounds even after death, which is great as your no longer awaiting for the ammo to spawn

Yeah I just read the patch notes. :)

Overall not a biggy as the positives outweight the negatives in this case (being able to use synths when inventory is full / no loss of heavy on death).

I will just switch to my Culling with surplus perk when I am out of heavy ammo. Should still net me four rockets when picking up a ammo pack afterwards (unless this has been tweaked as well?!).
 
good patch overall I feel.

Unfortunately all this patch will do for PVP is everybody will now swap their Auto Rifles for pulse rifles. Red Death is going to be the new Suros.

Nah, it's good but the maps are so small that most of it is close quarters. Red death is pretty good at mid-long range but up close its damn hard to get the 3 headshots!

I was slightly confused as well :p
Click to expand...

I agree perhaps that could have been confusing.. let me elaborate.

I am at the point in the game now where all I need to do is collect the remaining exotics.. I have 3 level 32 characters, 1 of each, with 2 sets of interchangeable armour to hit level 32 depending upon the scenario and all but 2 of the raid weapons across both raids.

So.. as of now I only need Gjallarhorn, Hard Light, SUROS Regime, Necrochasm and The 4th Horseman.

Hence.. not a good week so far lol
 
So tomorrow is scheduled to be a ridiculous day for Xur! Heart of praxic fire and universal remote are apparently scheduled for tomorrow unless bungie changes it! That said, every no land beyond has been followed by dragons breath, so there's a chance they'll swap out universal for dragons breath.

This is of course so long as they didn't patch the list last night given how much fuss it caused when he showed last weeks items ahead of schedule.

Excite.. I have both already but would love a 36 HOPF!

Edit... I thought it was Hard Light this week with a HOPF upgrade?

I assume every time they patch is a chance for them to update the RNG and use a different seed. More interested in the amount of HoW stuff that's been found in the patch. Seems early to patch that in if May is the expected arrival - unless they aren't expecting to do many til then

Not bothered to log in this week so I don't even know if the patch was big or not.

Reef Social Space = another vault?!? and wahoo a Walker as the boss of the new Strike :/

Until Xur shows up again (I) will not be able to obtain the list. This week please give up. Sorry about that. If it was not changed in this patch, Universal remote and Heart of the Praxic Fire were planned to come but don't get your hopes up.

He just said he won't post up a screeny in case they changed the algorithm with the patch, but if they left it the same, then it should be those two for sale.

If your vault is accessible there, it will be the same one.

Pretty sure everyone knows by now that the space we have now will be expanded, I imagine in a big update before House of Wolves is released (like they did with the bounty slots).

I don't understand why everyone keeps thinking it will be a completely different vault, separate from the tower. Read no end of comments on Reddit about it, makes no sense at all.

I guess any method to increase the vault even awkward ones would be welcome (through sheer desperation). I dont play the game and one of the top reasons why is the vault, so anything to fix that would be very overdue.

I certainly hope it isn't a seperate vault. I would love the extra space but I already find loading in and out across three characters to be a pain the rear. Having to also factor in a seperate vault would annoy me even more.

HoPF would be awesome as would universal remote. HL would also be cool as my wife wants it after playing around with one on Bluey.

how so?

I normally ask for 30+ as I don't care if they are 30, 31 or 32 so long as they aren't below 30 for VOG HM as increased level doesn't matter as much after you hit 30.

31 and 32 does make a slight difference though in defense but it isn't worth writing about as it's so slight just in case someone wants to be pedantic.

so long as your 30+ you should be fine for HM so that is what I ask for.
