Has the 2.4gb patch been released yet!!?? that could play havoc with the raid tonight if we don't all update ASAP!

I updated my xbox360 copy of destiny to bring up to my digs when I'm working, 1.07 GB update on the Saturday, another 1+GB update last night, my digs has a 3MB connection at the most. It was most of the night and I didn't get to play it, don't tell me there's another huge update.

[tankslappa]

Yes, big update last night.

HUD changes are most prominent, some sound effects (Atheons epilogue sounds different to me), icebreaker perk now explodes enemies in a proper fashion, much quicker turn around on public events are a few things I've found.

Mine updated last night around 00:45, right in the middle of a crucible match, really pissed as it lost my last set of points too, rage was spawned quickly after proving disastrous to my thorn bounty and Tank & Tom's ears!

fk fking fk! - sorry mum if your still watching 😉

I spent all weekend chasing an epic bounty that led me to the Invective shotgun. I also have the Crash shotgun as well as the Final Boss sniper and the void one. It seems my special weapons is overloaded with choice. Tempted to dismantle some of them for shards(I just never use shotguns and Praedyth's Revenge is so good that I'd never really equip anything else, save Icebreaker if I had it).

Still using Hard Light as a primary and it's great.

Wow that's quite a list of changes!

[wuddie]

Anybody else get the legendary sparrow from the post master??

[Antimus]

I haven't checked, are you sure you didn't drop it in a chest but had a full inventory?

Nope it said it was a present from BUNGIE, it's pretty cool looking, blue, with orange go faster flames

[Irrotational]

Yes it's for owning the DLC - arrives at the postmaster.

I've been using this post:-

To work out if I should even consider *trying* to level up to get the 30 light boots and gloves...

It says 104 wins needed which I reckon at 10 minutes per match is 17 hours! BUT you can get bounties and also the tempered buff....I reckon that *might* make it possible in 12 hours or so of play....but that's still a lot of time (for me).

I would rather try and do the hard raid later in the week...assuming I can get time off on the weekend.

Wuddie - can you do Friday or Saturday or Sunday night? I'll check with the boss.

[Antimus]

god I hate PvP

[Irrotational]

I'm pretty bad at it...but I get excited if I manage to kill anyone AT ALL so my expectations are pretty easy to meet :-)

I'm not going to bother I think...will do normal crucible at some point to get my Thorn bounty done....doubt I will ever use the gun though.

Changing subject slightly has anyone else looked at the new RAID stuff in the DLC (the armour, weapons etc) all looks pretty cool but I may have spoilered myself a bit!

Probably worth using spoiler tags if we're going to discuss it on here.

Funnily enough we discussed this last night.

As soon as the next raid drops we are going in head first. No waiting for guides or YouTube vids. No spoilers, work it all out for ourselves.

We have enough for two teams now.

No gift for me.

I'm poor at PvP, but strangely enjoy control.
Anyone interested in helping on the weekly heroic strike and possibly nightfall if we feel I'm up for it?

Aiming for a world first clear? ;-)

I'd love to do that - just looked at dates and I am going to be away for most of that week :-(

...suspect when I manage to get on everyone will have learnt the mechanics and I'll just need to watch vids to catch up :-(

[wuddie]

Anyone that's at a high enough level to do hard raids should take note of this

The sense of 'bloody hell, just look at it' would be great I think. I just worry that I don't have anything like the time.

Even one phase blind would be an achievement.

Yeah I agree, feels like we rush through the current raid because that's the worked out plan, we don't spend any time in each location just looking around, I've been through the atheon portals a bunch of times but could not describe the layout of the level past the narrow path down the stairs and to the portals

IMHO it's impossible to tell either way for the following reasons:-

1. We don't know what the probabilities of each item are on normal
2. We don't know what the probabilities of each item are on hard

There are more non-armour items on hard (extra weapons and maybe a sparrow?) which will tend to dilute the chance of getting armour BUT we have no idea if the probabilities of "good stuff" (weapons and armour) are generally higher in the hard table. This could completely offset any dilution effect.

Two quick examples:-

Example 1 - adding the vex halves the chance of getting armour - you should do one normal and then one hard

Normal
Ass mats 95% chance
Gloves 5% chance

Hard
Ass mats 95% chance
Gloves 2.5% chance
Vex mythoclast 2.5% chance

Example 2 - adding the vex and adjusting the values triples the chance of getting raid armour - you should do hard straight away and get two rolls on the hard table

Normal
Ass mats 95%
Gloves 5%

Hard
Ass mats 80%
Gloves 15%
Vex 5%

Without hundreds of people collating their raids and drops it's impossible to get enough data to verify either way.

I'm just in from work , updating then I should be on unless the scotland/England game is good

Friday normal raid 9pm?

Only need another 4 ascendent shards and I'll hopefully be level 29, so I might be up for a hard raid on Saturday if I get everything on the Friday.
