Destiny [PS3,X360,PS4,XO]

[orangpelupa]

anybody raiding tomorow? or doing the weekly stuff?

 

[Rangers]

Woo hooooo! Got an exotic helm engram on a whim and it actually converted to Mask of the Third Man! Super nice.

I had debated buying it too, because I had been saving my motes (had around 100) in case I ever ran IB, and wanted to reroll one of the weapons a lot. And then I was thinking well, 3 classes, what, 4 helmets per class? In theory it's like a 1 in 12 chance I get Mask not gonna happen. And then it did.

Picked up Universal Remote from xur too which I had sharded before, a lot of the Destiny guys on youtube seem to like it at least as a curiosity, and now it's buffed too. One of the youtube guys mentioned wanting to run a shotgun/sniper at the same time build with Universal Remote too so I'm stealing that idea too.

Liking the mobile vault thing too. I'm using it from my PC to switch stuff to characters from their before I log into them. Easier.

 

[djskribbles]

@Rangers, same! Could only afford 1 helmet engram because I kept reforging my iron banner rocket launcher, but it turned out to be the helmet I wanted (Mask of the Third Man).

 

[Strange]

don't forget to convert it into the really high stat version that XUR is currently offering. 127 Is the highest roll I've ever seen.

 

[djskribbles]

Yup, I did just that too...got 127 intellect. Originally it was only 92.

 

[shredenvain]

Yeah I use coiled and badger a lot too. Coiled's downfall is it essentially has a ten shot clip (30, but 3 round bursts). Not every gun can get field scout (I get the impression it would make some guns too powerful, hence why Badger cant get field scout). Also I'm not sure how field scout works on pulse. I think unlike on scout and HC it doesn't always go to a set number, IIRC. But anyway a coiled hiss with FS would be nice.

Edit: Just looked and according to Destinydb Coiled can get field scout.

The Gheleon's Demise in the last IB was slightly better than my Badger. It had firefly+outlaw+two more rounds (16 mag)+same impact. However, it was so marginally better I deemed it not worth grinding for.

I have a Badger that dropped with Firefly so that's pretty good. Replaced my previous vendor version which had mulligan which is one of the worst perks.

I think I have Up for Anything too. I think Abyss Defiant is a lot better IIRC. It's fun to experiment with different primaries on patrols. However, any gun looks good against trash enemies. Up for Anything IIRC isn't worth it for serious work,

Now that shotguns are buffed I want swordbreaker again. I got it a few times and shredded it every time. Thing is to get it again I'd probably have to run normal Crota and just hope for it. Who knows if I'll ever do that. I also sharded my Preadyth's Revenge a long time ago and kinda want it again, after I saw this vid where a guy was claiming it's still a great sniper, I realized it probably was. He said it's the best for PVP (which though I dont generally PVP, I like to keep known PVP beast guns around in case I ever do). He was also saying that with the 6 mag and great stability, he often feels like it's better than Black Hammer even in PVE, or at least a great patrol sniper.

Oh well, PR will DEFINITELY be obsolete after House of Wolves takes guns to 365 so I wont worry too much.

My coiled hiss has 48 rounds with the extra ammo perk unlocked. I love it.
Does anyone have any experience with the universal remote shotgun? I don't have a legendary or exotic shotgun yet and Xur is selling it. Should I go for it?

 

[Rangers]

I would definitely get Universal Remote if you have plenty of coins. I played with it this morning and with the buff I wonder if it can be a beast. I nearly one shotted the level 18 knight under the first building on Earth patrol, and easily one shotted the yellow acolytes. It seems like possibly one of the easiest ways to kill those guys already. Which is impressive.

With the changes I'm even wondering if some of the shotguns, particularly UR, will become some of the power weapons in PVE.

UR also has that perk that I havent unlocked yet that increases the range when you ADS. It could be something like up to a mid range gun with great power after that, in theory.

If you have limited coins and are waiting for something else it's a tougher decision.

I may even carry my brand new 302 UR in the next CE Abyss hard mode I run.

 

[shredenvain]

Is anyone else having connection issues on the X1 version of destiny. Ever since the update to 1.1.1 I have had issues.
Actually I got the 2 month Hulu trial the same day so it almost seems like it happens every time I use Hulu plus before destiny. I got booted 12 times yesterday.
I did a hard reset and everything was OK until I used Hulu again.

im reading reddit and theres a person named Magaman exe keeps showing future content from PS4 screen. how did he do that?

i suspect he use the time switcheroo bug and have done some experiment but i cant achieve what he have achieved. Currently what i can get is unlimited XP boost and telemetries.

EDIT:
i also can make destiny think its still in "Beta" (saying activity on mars unreleased and please wait for the release on 2014).

EDIT2:
the unlimited heavy ammo glitch is not working although all other "status" boost are working unlimited.

EDIT3:
oh different "month" gives different orbit selection screen unlocks.

EDIT4:
with going forward to the future and then back to the current time then back to the future, there's a case where the "unlimited status glitch" did not happen but the dark below DLC count down goes haywire. There's also a case where the DLC dissapears from map.

EDIT5:
it seems the unlimited status glitch only patched for ammo synths (does not have timeout displayed). All other consumables will give the "tousand days timeout" and active.

EDIT6: finally able to change dates, orbit screen behavior, and unlimited status glitch on the fly without getting kicked to orbit. Still did not find how to trigger HoW contents

EDIT:
bored so i explored Devil's Lair area. and.. yeah.. that map is connected to the Colonial Ship (big-ass space ship rocket thing) that was mentioned by bungie as "crucial story element" in E3. The hallway is solid (i can hit it when shooting it). The original access is the shuttered door behind sepiks Prime.

so in case you are wondering why the heck Sepiks Prime just guarding that empty place... He was guarding Colonial Ship.

now im stuck cant go to the colonial ship due to the "bounchy invisible wall".

Somebody on reddit allegedly figured out Xur's stock next two weeks via some method.


XUR STOCK:

March 6th

• Helm of Saint 14 (106/114 Int)
• Young Ahamkara's Spine (91/98 Dis)
• Skull of Dire Ahamkara (94/101 Int)
• Icebreaker
• Chest Engram
• Heavy Ammo

March 13th

• No Backup Plans (77/83 Str)
• Crest of Alpha Lupi - Hunter (157/169 Str!!!)
• Light Beyond Nemesis (108/115 Str)
• Universal Remote
• Gauntlet Engram
• No Heavy Ammo

If accurate Bungie cant be too happy.

How are people doing this stuff? My guess was somehow hacking the files on hacked consoles like the PS3 and 360?

 

[orangpelupa]

dunno, but i suspect its about the date bug. Basically destiny trust the date in client. Bungie tried to fix this by adding a few server-time check here and there (after the cheaters using them on Crucible and raining heavy ammo and got blown up on reddit) but in some places it can be bypassed.

i suspect.. they simply found a way that totally bypass the server-time check bungie implemented.
or.. they tamper with the data for server-time check.

Fixed my issues with Destiny losing connection on the X1. I was having packet loss and a new cable fixed the issue.
Also I had probably my most successful night engram wise tonight. I had been 2 weeks without getting a legendary engram. I didn't even get them upgrading the vanguard or cryptarch. Tonight I played from 6 pm to 10 pm and I got a total of 4 legendary engrams. First one was from cryptarch level up it was a New Monarchy helmet. 2nd was an engram drop on Venus from a Vex goblin it became Another NITC (I love Scout rifles).
3rd was a drop from a shank on Venus that became an ascendant shard. 4th was found in a chest on the moon that turned into a shotgun that I can't recall the name of. I'm not sure about other players but it is pretty rare for me to get more than 1 legendary engram from drops every 2 weeks. Sure I get then from leveling up various factions and vendors a couple times a month. I will most likely never be this lucky again.

The difference between 331 and 300 for any given weapon is ~14.5% damage. You are comparing totally different classes, and yeah Fatebringer is better than Nechrochasm!

15% is to me likened to a light level or something. My guy dealing 15% more hypothetical damage across the board over thousands of enemies becomes a big deal. So I think transitioning to 331 weapons across TDB is like gaining an invisible light level.

If it's another 14.5% or so next time with House of Wolves 365 weapons, now the 300 weapons will be 29% behind. And so on.

I guess the key with lets take Fatebringer, is it will increasingly not one shot crit, two shot, etc the enemies that it one shots, two shots, now, with each new expansion and higher level enemies. So it will become increasingly untenable. But yes, as we know for now it's still arguably fine and one of the best weapons. But of course it would be better if it was 331...

Let's compare Fatebringer to Thorn then, even with Mark of the Devour feature of the Thorn, a Fatebringer does roughly the same amount or maybe higher damage (will confirm this today) especially if you count the firefly damage It's also one of the most fun weapons to use, if only other weapon classes were half as fun to use as Hand Canons.

So like it was close to midnight and I planned to rope my only Destiny friend into finishing off Crota, but what happens djskribbles is not online?!?!? Whats going on? Has he been kidnapped by Aliens? Or worse, he got a life?!?!?

Ohh yeah, monday from about 21:00 CET, I need friends to help me finish off Crota, my spawn is the last one on Crota's bane

Ohh its on normal difficulty

 

[djskribbles]

Life? What's that? Ohhh, that thing I had before I bought Destiny?

Got some extended time off work, so I decided to take a little break from video games for once. I'm still on, just not as often.

I can probably get on in a few hours if you can stay up. I'll try to help you put together another raid group.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

^The reason I deleted :^) It took all my gaming time and my life from me. Wife and family actually started asking and I missed psending time with ym daughter. its funny how a virtual activitry can do that to you ! Basically it happened when I started Raiding, its all fine if you don't raid, but being a Level 31, Raiding is all you can do to progress. So.....

I will re downloading soon, though, now that I have broken thehabit and my raiding group. BB and Destiny, amongst themselves, can keep me from getting hooked to the other.

 

[orangpelupa]

other games: "man, i fed up with this crap.. too many sidequest... boring blahblahblah... ugh dunno i can finish this game or not"
destiny: "man, i have completed this crap millions of time and i cant stop playing"

No worries, if you are online, then thats great. If you not, enjoy that life thing

Life? My life is in destiny and now stuck with marionberry :/

The same guy who supposedly found Xur's inventory next two weeks also supposedly knows the strikes. He claims this weeks nightfall will be Sepiks with arc burn. sounds about right, it's been a while since Sepiks.

Next week is supposed to be Archon Priest with all 3 burn.

Oh and for Pelupa apparently how they do it is by getting the IP's from the tower, when you are the only player in there. Xur has his own IP, (you have your own, and every other NPC has one altogether, 3 IP's) and somehow they do some kid of snooping shenanigans on it, involving hexadecimal. It's apparently pretty time consuming Like 3 hours to figure out one week), and each week must be done in order (in other words you cant just go look at lets say 3 weeks out, you have to spend a lot of time figuring out one and two weeks first). Well at least if the thread I read is to be believed.

Edit: But the other Destiny leaker claims Bungie has alternate Xur's ready to insert if desired (which he discovered this week when Xur was supposed to sell heavy but did not), with different things for sale. So at any time they can throw a curveball, like sell gallahorn even when it's not on the leakers "predicted" lists for Xur. Supposedly...
