Destiny - 9/9/14 (PS3/PS4/X360/XB1)

[Mazmaz]

How is the damage in Iron Banner gonna work? Will a level 30 do more damage than a level 28? Wondering if I need to be dumping shards into my PvP gear set.

[Nightmarelord]

its intended to be similar to pve level difference so yes.

[Serra]

Those perks are pretty cool!

Really like the sounds of the bonus damage perk -- hopefully it applies outside the raid as well.

[Serra]

Been looking through more of the stuff..

Oh gosh.. double element Fusion Rifle, sold by the Eris:

Comes in a legendary format too once you've ranked up:

Looks like Eris sells a lot of the new stuff:

Spoiler: show

Kill Hive using a Blade's sword on Earth.

There are also a bunch of new legendary materials included.. Getting past 30 might be harder than previously believed (or all those shards/energies we've been hoarding aren't gonna be rendered useless..).

Will update again with anything that looks worthwhile.

Edit: oh, and it sounds like we might be getting a horde gametype in House of Wolves.

shit if it's that much I can't even use PvP set since I'll only be 29. Guess gotta go full 30 or go home.

Down to help any XB1 bros finish anything up before tomorrow if they need. GT: JAMES IS RAGING

[Kaslo]

I actually expect a lot of 29s in IB just because they will wants hands or feet to get to 30

[Celeras]

Reddit says they nerfed Nightfall soloing, mobs scale to take less damage when you're alone or some shit?

That blows, man.

Hopefully it's not an awful grind to get both pieces. I need both to hit level 30.

[Obsidian]

If they did it's an unannounced change and potentially unintended. The only reference to Strikes was that mob HP/damage wouldn't scale as high with three-man fireteams, making Strikes on the whole easier.

That being said, I didn't see any mention of Nightfall nerfs on reddit.

Hidden Changes is like our "Things Broken" threads for XI.

The way the update reads, it scales less than before as your fireteam grows. Meaning, it's easier than before for 3, but no harder than before solo.

Fixed an issue in which "Guardian down!" referenced the wrong gender in French, Spanish, and Portuguese

it's about damn time!

Yeah I skimmed that earlier and didn't see anything mentioned. I figure if Nightfalls were made more difficult it would be near the top of the thread (or plastered all over the front page...). Will find out tomorrow one way or the other, I guess.

[Fiendishone]

Dat primary sniper rifle exotic though.

[Serra]

What do ya know, Bungie lies again! They said IB would be returning by the end of the week, and now it's returning tomorrow! Now how am I supposed to be all bitter about IB and Smash in the same day!?

From the weekly update:

Players within 3 Levels can be competitive with each other
- Your DEFENSE rating affects how you take damage
- Wear your best (highest rated) armor
- Players out of your league will seem like a Boss
- Your ATTACK rating affects how you inflict damage
- Equip your best (highest rated) weapons
- Lower-level players wielding fully-upgraded weapons should still be considered a very credible threat!

Anyone know a quick spot for killing 10 Cabal Majors/Ultras?

I did the end bit of the Buried City mission on Mars, heroic modifier.

[Celeras]

From the weekly update:

That kinda sucks. I had a whole special loadout for PvP making sure my armor had all the appropriate weapon perks. Now it seems like I'd have to use highest level shit aka raid gear aka pve to pvp.

Only one mode so no big deal, but still! I know people wanted this, but I always thought it was dumb.

[Mazmaz]

Wow pretty harsh. I'm gonna try my load out, but if it feels like I'm not doing anything, I'll have to dump a bunch of energies into pocket infinity, and a bunch of shards into random armor.

Who's around in 2 hours to IB?
