Nintendo Fan Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks for the Iron Banner games guys! I was so terrible in there, only managed to do ok in one game sry It was fun playing with you all though, bubble party!
Shorty Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Nah man you had more than one decent game I think everyone else who was in that fireteam has been playing the game every week for 17 months so... kinda to be expected. IB Rift is a lot more fun with the clan :p Felt kinda bad for the team that quit out down to one player...
Kav Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I put this on last night for the first time since November 2014. My mate has recently started it so I created a Titan and started from scratch with him. Having not played it for so long I actually found I enjoyed it again, which I'm glad of. I'll enjoy going through it with him... but once it becomes a grind again I'll soon be shelving it!

I was thinking "What the hell is Kav playing that for?"

Shorty Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 The game's a bit quiet now. Bungie's fault. God knows what they're playing at over there. No new PvE content released or even announced for nearly five months. And PvP events are being fucked up by stupid decisions. (Rift was still a stupid decision whether you had fun with it or not). Weapon balance is still a real mess, they keep breaking everything we love. Every time they try and balance it you just end up with one or two weapons that break the mold so everyone uses them. Then their solution is to blanket nerf that entire weapon class. Not surprising that numbers have dropped off the way they have, but still disappointing. I wonder if The Division will fill a gap ahead of Destiny 2.
Map Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I wonder if The Division will fill a gap ahead of Destiny 2. I played the division beta a lot over the weekend and really liked it. It plays really different to Destiny with it being a third person cover shooter but it does scratch a similar itch with it having co op (4 man) fireteams and loot to chase. More impressions in the Division thread.
DriftKaiser Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 "I may look legendary, but when it gets down to business I can get rather exotic." Who want to be my partner for the Crimson Day event
Shorty Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 The difference is the silence. Bungie have promised repeatedly to be more transparent and yet we haven't heard anything concrete for ages. Every blog post is a hugely fluffed up ream of distraction. I'm not raging at them or anything, I know that most of us here exhausted the available content at a rate way above average and overplayed those raids til we could squeeze out every last drop of fun/loot. But they need to do something soon and it has to be more than a redecorated tower and some microtransactions.
Shorty Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Typically just as I post that, they post a weekly update... still no PvE news except for a couple of Kings Fall bug fixes: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=44307 Main thing to take away: 3v3 playlists will start you without special ammo, and they're trying to punish players who have bad connections instead of making them harder to hit etc.. Patch hits Tues 9th Feb.
Rummy Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Why the special ammo change for 3v3? Not that I play 3v3 very often(only really Salvage on the dailies) but if both teams are starting with special then I don't see it being much of a balance issue? Unless it's to work the spawns into more of a strategic point or something.
Shorty Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Definitely makes sense to me for Trials. In 6v6 if you run into a bottleneck at spawn and get your face sniped off it's kinda your fault. In 3v3 strategies are more limited.
DriftKaiser Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Look like people will start to use the NLB, Invective/Icebreaker or any special weapon with rescue magazine. My Party Crasher already got the Rescue Magazine so I just need to don the Ram so I can tank to get free special ammo magazine refill.
Rummy Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Wanted to check with folks here - is the chance for an exotic 310 rollout at 300+ light or 301+?? Must have decoded about 8 or 9 on my warlock at 300 light but they've all annoyingly been 290, so wondering if maybe its at 301? Does the chance scale with increasing light level?
DriftKaiser Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 When you are 310+, the exotic engrams will be decrypted at 310. If you are below 310, they will be 290/300.
Rummy Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 When you are 310+, the exotic engrams will be decrypted at 310. If you are below 310, they will be 290/300. That can't be right - I was getting 310s on my 306 titan!
MilaGi Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 That can't be right - I was getting 310s on my 306 titan! If you're at 310+ light level then your exotic engram is guaranteed a 310 decryption. If you're less than 310 then it's more likely to decrypt to the 290/300, but there is slim chance that it will be a 310 - you just have to be pretty lucky!
Eddage Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) If you're at 310+ light level then your exotic engram is guaranteed a 310 decryption. If you're less than 310 then it's more likely to decrypt to the 290/300, but there is slim chance that it will be a 310 - you just have to be pretty lucky! You need to be 311 for a guaranteed 310 exotic. Also, I'm fairly certain that if you're between 300 and 310 then it's either a 290 or 310 exotic - they don't ever decrypt at light level 300.

When you say 'between' does that include being 300, or is it 301+? I got quite a few 310 rollouts on my titan around ~306light, but as I said I've done maybe 8 or 9+ on my Warlock equipped to light level 300 and they've all been an annoying 290!! I was hoping using the Warlock would give me more chance of rolling out Warlock exotics, but if they're all gonna be 290 then it's kind of defeating the point! Tinternets seems to suggest the 310 chance even at 300 light...but my luck is really making me doubt it compared to that I had on my Titan!
Eddage Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I think it includes 300. Of course RNG is still RNG, so you could decrypt 20 and end up with all 290s, then the next 10 could be 310!

Daaaaaaaaamn. Thanks for the clarification though! I remember being all excited at all the 310s I was getting on my Titan, guess it turns out that luck was gonna balance out :p Best go see Xur for some more coins today methinks!
