You and I carried a 3rd last night. You carried me for a fair bit as well....

Well we carried him - you were fine! I died less than I normally do :-)

I think horde mode (if they do this and do it well) will be very intense, with little room to duck and dodge and recover....so any missed super or string of missed critical shots would spell the end of the run.

Who knows though - this arena mode could be anything...

A few good hours on tonight with Simo and Glen. Croatia done twice. I've done the weekly twice but also needs to get the Nightfall sorted as well maybe in the next day or 2

[phil-sti]

Taken an hour 20 so far and still no play :-(

Would have been easier to take your box round to somebody that has a better connection with hindsight I suppose?

[RemaL]

Anyone get a huge update last night. after Crota and a few weeklys I did early on in the evening. I tried to get back on but Destiney wanted to upload a 4.3gig update. I noticed a small chance in the noise when I get bounties but nothing else yet. Hoping it's for the new reef part of the updates due soon

Scrap that just seen the posts above on the update

[simo1863]

Was a good night last night, real throwback to how it used to be.

That has to be the longest wait at the end of the deathsinger that I've ever seen! Jimmy just loved killing those endless spawning nights!

I'm sure people will be looking into that 4.3gb update and we'll have more info on HOW over the next few days.

EDIT; it's already been done, this was put on Reddit last night;

Patch 1.1.2 - Behind the Scenes
This post is considered complete with little to no editing left. Read with confidence!

Highlights

Two Social Spaces. The one in the Reef is now called Queen's Bay where you "collect Reef bounties, forge new allegiances and test themselves in the Prison of Elders and Trials of Osiris". There's also Halls of Amentet, a totally-new social space which seems to require experience in Trials of Osiris.
1 Strike. The new Nightfall / Heroic is The Shadow Thief which takes place on the Moon. You need to board the Ketch of notorious mercenary Taniks-Syn, and eliminiate him & his strike force.
3 Story Missions. Start searching on Earth, then travel to Venus.
3 Quests. These are usually what we get from a Vendor.
1 "Raid", The Prison of Elders. Pits you against "the solar system's deadliest enemies," meaning there could be a lot of enemy variation – presumably not just Fallen!
3 PVP Maps, but 5 mentioned. It's doubtful that we'll get to see Black Shield, but worth knowing we may visit one of Mars' moons at some point. "MM TEST FACTORY" sounds amusing!
(Not sure if the PVP Mode information is anything new or worthwhile; likely not.)
About 46 Ship Schematics were added, incl. an Exotic one Manus Celer Dei and 5 Red & Black ones.
Bungie keeps poking around the data for Treasure Maps, but all the data's still broken
There's some broken data about destination_faction_rasputin0 and "destination_crypto
Social Spaces - Halls of Amentet! & "Queen's Bay"
Halls of Amentet - "Only true champions, tested in the Trials of Osiris, dare set foot in these fabled halls." This sounds awesome, a 3-player Social spot on Mercury.
Queen's Bay -"Gateway to the Reef, home of the Queen and her Awoken. Entry point for Guardians looking to collect Reef bounties, forge new allegiances and test themselves in the Prison of Elders and Trials of Osiris." — Looks like the "Reef Social Space" got an official name. Neat!
Strikes
The Shadow Thief - "Taniks-Syn, the Fallen's most notorious mercenary, is leading a strike force on the Moon. Board his Ketch and kill him or he will continue to cut a trail of death across the system." — Will be the new Nightfall & W. Heroic
Note: For a short time, this section listed three activities as Strikes. That was an organizational error while frantically editing the post. Whenever these posts are made, make sure to check the top of the post for whether editing is "complete" or not. =) Sincere apologies for any confusion!
Story Missions
A Joining of Houses - "Scour the Cosmodrome. Find and assassinate the Wolves' Baron and any of his co-conspirators."
An Army of Wolves - "Track the House of Wolves through the caldera on Venus. Kill the Wolf pack before their Kell, Skolas, can rally the Fallen House of Winter to his cause."
The World Ravager - "Skolas has his eyes set on the Vex Citadel on Venus. Capture him before he can plunder the secrets of space and time." — (Wooh!)
Quests
Dark Raider - "A High Priest of the House of Wolves has been sent to the Hellmouth. Track him and his crew. Stop them from stealing the Hive's darkest secrets."
Duel of the Silent Fang - "Locate and eliminate Skolas's elite assassins, the Silent Fang."
Wolves' Gambit - "A pack of Fallen Wolves is picking a fight with the Vex on Venus. Head along the Shattered Coast and track down the Wolves to uncover Skolas's plan."
"Raid"
The Arena has been renamed to The Prison of Elders: "This combat arena pits brave Guardian Fireteams against the solar system's deadliest enemies. Not all who enter survive, but those who do earn glory… and the greatest treasures of the Reef."
PVP Maps
The Timekeeper - "Meridian Bay, Mars"
Thieves' Den - "Ishtar Sink, Venus"
Widow's Court - "European Dead Zone, Earth"
Black Shield? - "Firebase Thuria, Phobos"
MM TEST FACTORY - "DO NOT PLAY. TEST ONLY." Oh, Bungie ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
PVP Modes
These ones may not be new, but they're still in the patch. Will simply include for sake of completeness.

Ancient Relics (Salvage) - Inferno Salvage? "No trackers and simplified scoring."
Elimination - A bit vague...
Eternal War - Likely an old title already in-use.
Bounties
Bounties that required 10 spree medals now require 15 kills. Much easier!
Unknown/Other?
"The House of Wolves" (link broken?) - "Join Petra Venj and her allies in the Reef. Hunt the Fallen House of Wolves and their notorious Kell, Skolas, the Betrayer. Your reward? Glory… and treasures beyond imagination."
/u/JSouth25 speculates this may be the Raid not being included with HoW.
Mercury will be a selectable location; this is how Halls of Amentet will be accessed.
Bungie keeps poking around the data for Treasure Maps, but all the data's still broken
There's some broken data about destination_faction_rasputin0 and "destination_crypto
Ships & Schematics
Looks like they added roughly 46 Ship Schematics! Including the one for the Exotic Ship, Manus Celer Dei! Seems to indicate more of a move toward rewarding Schematics vs. giving you a ship outright. (Speculation: Could be possible rewards for the Treasure Maps, if they end up using those.)
Looks like these ships might be Red & Black
Notable Ships and their schematic:

Manus Celer Dei - Schematic: Manus Celer Dei Schematic - Hope we can actually get this!
Glass Minuet - Schematic: Glass Minuet - Interesting that they have a Schematic for this now.
No End Theory - Schematic: No End Theory
Permission to Stomp - Schematic: Permission to Stomp
The Worldbreaker - Schematic: The Worldbreaker
Silent Verdict - Schematic: Silent Verdict
Omit the Legend - Schematic: Omit the Legend
BONUS: Sparrow Upgrade, Tuned Drive - "Upgrades an equipped Sparrow to improve overall speed and durability."

Trials of Osiris
Trials of Osiris - "Only the worthy may face the Trials of Osiris, for only the worthy are strong enough to endure what is to come. A string of victories will earn great rewards - but lose too many matches, and you're out."
Text changed from "lose three times" to "lose too many matches"

the most important thing so far is that there is now a jukebox in the tower that plays a song from Halo Reach

I've put the Destiny disc back in the case, that's usually the end of a game for me.

I can't find my Black Flag download anywhere, Horizon's is a bit bland, finished GTA5, what's everybody else moved onto?

I'm really enjoying Horizon, never played the first one though. Some of the rain effects on the cars paint work are amazing. As I've got a cross country drive across to Oxford today I've downloaded the Soundtrack so I can imagine I'm driving across the French Riviera in a classic Ferrari instead of my A3 shed

Sorry I didn't join you - am still levelling my warlock, only did a few patrol missions as the DL took so bloomin' long!

[Mr E]

Might be on tonight; depends on child, how bad sarah's cold is and if I'm required to babysit the neighbours.

I live the life, I can tell you.

It was nice to be able to catch a half hour nap whilst gaming.

[Glenred]

I keep hearing the "Trials of Osiris" mentioned, but can't find anything to explain what it actually is?

Any ideas?

First time I've ever been booted for inactivity with my controller in my hand

Don't forget the 46 Ship Schematics that were added. They're going to just add heaps to the gameplay

There is going to be an exotic ship.... it looks terrible...

[simo1863]

the new purple ball in the tower is rumoured to be Crota's testicle

[JDuck]

It's almost as if people were complaining over my slow clearing of the knights and boomers after deathsinger.

Know I know how Glen felt on the bridge.

Anyone up for some nightfalls and more crota tonight?

Complaining from the grave no less... TBH i'm just glad it wasn't me left alive, and that you managed to clear them!

I would like to be around, but have to go to the father-in-laws to reconnect all his kitchen appliances.. Shouldn't take long, but then will the wife let me on as she's unusually home tonight.

[Mr E]

I'm babysitting. Maybe on later.
