So I'm doing the Public Event in The Divide (Defeat the Fallen Walker) and this Titan stands in front of me with a rocket launcher, so I figure he's just showing off a bit... and then he fires at me and kills himself.

I waited a good couple of seconds before reviving him as my character stood there wondering what irony had befallen her. I should have just walked away, shouldn't I? :lol:

That is one of those "Xbox Record That" moments.......if you had the X1.

Yes, yes you should have. :lol:
 
Or PS4 share button if you have one of those.

@neema_t @Terronium-12 @Clark

We aiming to do the raid this weekend? I've watched a few YouTube videos and have a rough idea what we have to do (not die). It would be good to see how we get on!

I'm up for dying repeatedly. :lol:

I really should have.

As for @neema_t and @Clark, I'll be stepping out soon to do a little bit of grocery shopping so if we want to succeed at the annoying nightfall strike today (and we will succeed) I'll be back before 2:30 in the afternoon, EST.

Hmm I guess the Cryptard update never came out yesterday. Rumor is that it might be coming out this Friday? I am just going to set this game aside until that update is released.

The link you posted yesterday was 12 hours old at the time and the text stated coming next week.

It was posted on the 26th and Bungie said next week. Which would have been this week for the patch. The 12 hours links you were talking about were for something else.

Yes exactly. So since it didn't come out yesterday, maybe it will be here Friday.
 
@Terronium-12 I don't know what time that is :S I'm just going out with my dad for his birthday now but I'll be back in a couple of hours.

A little over two hours from this post. I'll probably be back before you but I'm not sure.
 
So I got the three Strange Coins I needed, to bad it was a day to late.
 
@Terronium-12, @Clark: I'm probably not going to be back until about 10, 11pm tonight so I imagine Clark'll be gone by the time I get there. As I mentioned before (briefly, I think) I'm now officially extremely unreliable so unfortunately I can only guarantee I'll be able to play when I'm already playing...
 
Destiny just did a really small update. My shards are now legendary so it looks like it was engram update.

Thats nice to know, I'll be sure to check it out when I get home. I was purposely holding back on grinding until the update.

I agree. Hopefully it truly was the update we have been waiting for. I also have been waiting to play again until this game was updated. I have already wasted over 20 "potential" legendary items. No sense in playing until this is patched. So let me know for sure if it worked on the X1.
 
I think it's the right update. It shows the rewards differently too for the weekly and daily. It's actually said cryptarch engram now for the reward.

Here is something else different. A normal moon mission on 28 will give
2 ascendant materials
Cryptarch engram
5 vanguard mark
7500 XP
It's only one mission though. The bounty on the moon. No other normal missions give this kind of reward.

It didn't give the ascendant materials before.

Could someone list the weekly strike and nightfall rewards? I did them last night and want to see if it's changed. With nightfall it use to just say unknown.

At level 28 it did, you're looking at the daily heroic on the hardest difficulty. I did it this morning and got all of those rewards which is in keeping with the daily heroics from at least the past week, which is when I realised you could adjust the difficulty to get ascendant materials.

I'm pretty close to ranking up with the Cryptarch again, I'm actually looking forward to seeing what I get for that. I once got two legendary and one rare engrams as a gift, naturally they turned into dreck but it also put me more than quarter of the way through to the next rank. A guaranteed legendary would be nice. As long as it's not armour, I've already maxed out everything except my helmet(s).

Yup, looks like it went live.

Excellent! This really does look like a very nice update. Dang now I need to juggle time between this and FH2. Good thing summer is over. Because I am not going to want to get off the couch. :lol:

Summary:
With this patch, we address some widely-discussed concerns with how Engrams are earned and claimed. Strikes have become more rewarding, and the rewards gained from them are more predictable. Also affected is the rotation of maps that appear in the Crucible.

Cryptarch
  • Legendary (purple) engrams will always produce a Legendary quality item or higher
    • Note: Legendary engrams that exist in your inventory will change to Rare quality items when the patch is applied. However, decoding these engrams will still produce the same results as before
  • Rare (blue) engrams will always produce a Rare quality item or higher
    • Chance for Legendary gear increased
  • Materials: Ascendant Shards and Ascendant Energy promoted to Legendary quality (from Rare quality)
Rewards
  • Rare (Blue) and Legendary (Purple) Engram drops added to the potential rewards for:
    • Vanguard: Tiger Strike Playlist
    • Daily Heroic Missions (first time per day)
    • Weekly Heroic Missions (first time per week)
  • Known issues
    • When selecting a higher difficulty for daily missions, XP Bonus not show in the reward display
    • You will still get the XP bonus, you just won't see it in the UI
Crucible
  • Reduced time limit on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash from 15 to 12 minutes, bringing them in line with non-vehicle maps in those playlists
  • Lowered weighting on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash so they appear less often in those playlists

it tricked me. I s just looking at it from the moon and not under the daily tab. I didn't realize it was the daily heroic.
 
I haven't played destiny with fellow GTPers but if anyone has a group set up and needs a lv26 hunter feel free to toss a request at my psn :)
 
As I mentioned to @Terronium-12 last night, I'm not sure if it's common knowledge but there's a limit to how many Vanguard/Crucible marks you can carry (200) so if you're carrying 200 or close to it, go and spend them on something - anything - before you earn any more. They will count towards your weekly earnings but you will never actually receive them. I found this out last night when I spammed 65 marks worth of spinmetal trades and wondered why I still only had 200 Crucible marks so I can only actually earn 35 this week. As annoying as that was, at least now I know they can't be stockpiled so every other week, when there's nothing I want to buy, I can happily buy gear to shred for guaranteed ascendant materials.
 
I found I had two entries for Spinmetal. One was for 200 and the other was for 8. Later the one for 8 had disappeared and the original still only had 200 in it.

Is there anywhere on the moon where it is as easy to find Helium as it is to find Spinmetal in the Divide?

I need quite a bit of it to level up my Monitor armour.

When PSN is back up I could show you some spots for chests and helium if you like? I find it's the easiest to farm because it's easy to spot from a distance, you can't really miss the glowing orange against the grey terrain after all - if you're looking in the right places, anyway.
 
Thanks but I'm several miles away from my PS4 mate. 👍

Finding it is not a problem. I'd just like to know if there is a region on the moon where it is as common as spinmetal is in the Divide.

Oh yeah, I forget some people have jobs. There isn't anywhere with the same density as the divide but you can run laps of the first area and constantly find stuff if you know where to look, the area round to the left of the start is also quite good (there's almost always a chest on the rim of that big circular pit) but I prefer the first area because it's smaller and you can usually spot a chest or helium from wherever you're standing.
 
I decided to give Destiny a try again since they released the patch yesterday. Destiny was having some issues last night for sure. Not sure if it was attacked by that hacker group again but it was not running well at all. Xboxlive seemed to be having issues too because the party system was hit and miss. Plus xboxsupport.com was indicating live was having problems.

So I only managed to get in a couple strikes and just went back to FH2. The good news is that Cryptard is indeed producing much better resources. All the blue drops were actually blue and in fact several of those were motes of light. I haven't been able to test a legendary encryption yet but hopefully will be able to soon.
 
The legendaries are all up to speed. I got one for achieving level 3 Vanguard and it turned into a level 20 Fusion Rifle. I was so happy haha.
 
I got my first post-patch legendary engram and it turned into Dustwalker gauntlets, I already have some (that boost melee recharge rather than grenades) so I shredded the new set and upgraded my helmet. I'm level 29 now and will be until I get the raid armour set(s) and a ton of ascendant shards with which to upgrade.
