J.T. Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 IB is the second or third Tuesday of the month depending on how the first week falls. I noticed that the website posted IB was up but I did not see the option in my Director when I was in orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basara Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yeah i had a rare Tuesday off so i was going to attempt the IB glitch but there was none. Instead we did 3 Nightfalls and 2 Crota runs. I got nothing i needed. A second Thunderlord (now a shard) 2 (2!) freakin No Land Beyonds (now shards) 14 ascendant shards (less than worthless) a 3rd Song of Ir Yut (come on Crota! i'll take anything else!) and god knows how many radiant shards and energies to upgrade the armor and guns i don't actually have. On the plus side the nightfall is a joke this week. I think we did all 3 in less than an hour. Icebreaker feeding ammo into Patience and Time, Fang of Ir Yut and a random arc rocket launcher. I felt bad for the Fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I ran the Nightfall with the group of Austrians that helped me steamroller over three Nexus strikes in under an hour a few weeks back. We did Devil's Lair in about fifteen minutes and it only took that long because we got sloppy near the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basara Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yeah, i think i spent more time swapping guns between characters, due to my limited vault space, before each Nightfall than i did doing the actual strike. Wheres that patch Bungie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Pardon Our Dust Gorilla image is up at Bungie.net, so it looks like another patch is rolling out right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basara Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Good stuff, once i have a little breathing room in my vault i'm going to have a good ol' clean out. I've got a whole bunch of legendary guns and armor that i have no intention of ever using but having been hording it up just because. Now i can compare it to the stuff i actually use I've got no excuse to keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I am having a blast with my new Gunslinger almost same as the old Gunslinger. It is kinda like cheating since I am using my old Hunter's modded Sparrow and rare Jumpship. Doing the story missions on Heroic as a lowbie definitely gets the blood pumping. I have rediscovered my respect for Reaver Captains that are one level higher than me. Got all of the Gold chests on the Cosmodrome and am only missing one on the Moon (Summoning Pits). Thank the Maker that your Dead Ghost count doesn't reset. Shrine of Oryx is so much easier when you remember to snipe from a crouched position and that you shouldn't fight Sardox out in the open area where the shrine is.

RIPPA Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yup - per the Bungie website - the patch is live EDIT - It is just under 2 GBs (at least on the 360) so I am yet again assuming that when (if) you buy House of Wolves - that download will be really tiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Interesting. Bungie hears the screams of the damned. Looks like there will be some mechanism in HoW that will allow you to bring your pre Crota DLC gear up to the new Attack / Defense cap. People who kept their pre DLC weapons are probably shitting themselves. I knew I shoulda kept Shadow Price and Lord High Fixer. Crota raiders can't be happy with that if it applies to all VoG raid gear earned from here on out. No need to fumble with Crota gear when you can do VoG on Easy or Hard and still receive gear that will get you to the new level cap. That being said, Bungie will probably decide to make all Raid gear adhere to the Radiant materials system to keep things "fair." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Just started the patch on PS4, its 6gig! Then it is not the patch. It is the patch and the HoW content that you will have to wait until May 19th to unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Which was my point - so even if I didnt want any additional DLC - my hard drive is going to get clogged just to play the stupid thing. Good thing I am home to start this big bitch now otherwise it might be like fucking Memorial Day by the time it is done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 It'll be interesting to see how the PvP changes affect match play. Come to think of it, that might be why they delayed IB - give players a week to get comfortable with the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 All told it took me about 40 minutes to download - and that was with the game trying to download it twice and then getting angry when I didn't have enough hard drive space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basara Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Figured when i saw it was 6gig it was 5% patch 95% update. At least it will be out the way. But yeah, sucks for those who have to download it but didn't buy the content. At least they have upgraded the purple ball in the tower right? right?

J.T. Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 We're using the Comcast box here at work to upload the new batch of Windows updates, so I can't log into XBox Live and remotely queue up the new patch. I'll have to load it up when I get home and grab dinner while it installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do tell, like, that's a real thing that you can do without wizardry or spells or something? No. If you leave your XBox on, you can log on to XBox.com and select games and updates and start the download to your console from another computer. If your console is turned off, you can select games and files for download from another computer and the stuff you chose will be in your Pending Downloads queue when you turn your console on.

RIPPA Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Holy Shit! I saw the note but I didn't process it until I saw it in action. Gone are the bounties for say "Buckshot Bruisers" Now it is just "Kill 15 dudes with Shotgun" I am in heaven... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
