Destiny Thread (Bungie) - 9/9/14

Reset on Thursdays, then Xur the next morning ....meaning I should be able to put in work on weekends now instead on everything resetting early in the week, this is good thing for me.
 
Bungie stated that they were changing the reset to Thursday, but did not exactly mention when this change would take place. I would assume there will be no reset on this coming Tuesday but on Thursday instead. freshpairs freshpairs

I assume you mean part of the weekly update:

"This week at Bungie, our Weekly Update found a new home.

If you’ve played Destiny since launch, you may have noticed a pattern in the chaos. Every Friday, we open a window into our world to share a little bit of what’s going on. We talk about what’s on our minds or drop hints about what you might find on our workbenches. Sometimes, the news is groundbreaking. Other times, what you see here are the ramblings of crazy people wandering around inside their own demented minds.

If you’ve been following Bungie for longer than that, you know that this is one of our favorite traditions – a greedy heartbeat between people who make games and the people who play them. For over a decade, we’ve been mixing it up and keeping you close. It’s become a hallowed ritual in our minds.

That will still happen (forever). It’s just gonna happen on Thursdays from now on. Please reconfigure your calendars. Reset your alarms. Clear the table of all other Internet nonsense, and save room for ours.

The wants and needs of the Bungie Community have changed. You’re a far more global population of armed combatants than we’ve ever served. Delivering our most important message after many of you have put your week to bed just didn’t feel right anymore. And, really, happy hour happens when you need it most.

Thursdate? Thupdate? Would you believe that Urk and I had a huge fight about that? Regardless of your name, welcome to your new home, Bungie Weekly Update. Let’s get down to brass tacks."



But this just states that the weekly update from bungie will be moved from Fridays to Thursdays, not the actual reset clock of raids.

Most MMO and other games with MMO type aspects have Tuesday resets.
 
Damn, my interpretation was that the reset changed, got my hopes up ...damn you Biggie!
 
Yea that just sounds like the day they are pushing updates is changing, and not the reset of the game itself.

:lol:

Sorry to burst your hopes. I went back to reread it unless I missed something but I was sure I definitely didn't read that.
 
 
Xur inventory of the week:
Armamentarium [Exotic Titan chest armour] – 13SC
Crest of Alpha Lupi [Exotic Hunter chest armour] – 13SC
Voidfang Vestments [Exotic Warlock chest armour] – 13SC
The Last Word [Exotic handcannon] – 23SC
Exotic Engram [helmet] – 23MoL
same ish every time. minus the last word. smh and the gun is really not all that. hawkmoon and fatebringer put it to SHAME, absolute SHAME. i dunno who was in the party earlier today when we were on doing the HM raid, but like ive said... they have literally removed the gjallarhorn from the pool of possible weapons. they rather introduce new weapons every week than bring back the gh
TLW is the truth man. That high damage per shot combined with that rate of fire and lack of recoil when upgraded make it an absolute beast in PvP.

I don't even use handcannons and I'm thinking of picking one up. Plus the animations for it are really cool

Do the weekly nightfall strikes reset on Tuesdays same time as the vanguard marks? And is Epitaph sniper from the vanguard armory worth buying?

It is IMO if you need an Arc sniper. I have a P&T and picked it up because it's good to have a legendary to offset and use an exotic in another slot if need be.
 
Yeah that's my main issue is that I need a good legendary sniper until I get VoC or another good primary. Then I can worry bout getting an exotic secondary. Hate switching during the middle of a battle...

Wait until you have a GGhorn....you dont want to use any other exotic and make it part of every setup you have

But I have Epitaph and honestly, if it is not an Arc burn weekly, I do not use it. My go to snipers are IceBreaker and Praeydeth's Revenge. I should've bought P&T just to have it last week

NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN. THE LAST WORD IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST OR SECOND BEST PVP WEAPON RIGHT NOW. IT IS A BEAST IN CRUCIBLE. CAN'T WAIT TO GET HOME AND GRAB IT.
yea ur trippin. best or second best? the gh and truth alone take up first and second. then theres the fatebringer and hawkmoon and thorn. last word isnt even 2nd best pistol to use. yall be reaching sometimes lmao.

u know ive had this thing for awhile lol. the animation is cool for 10 seconds but thats all anyone cares about lol. the range clip size and damage on the other main 3 pistols makes this one bad in pvp. in pve, pistols just arent the go to period.

15.5k crits with the P&T on Arc Burn :nthat:

Granted, when Solar burn will come the IB will probably top 25k :smokin

Ttk on the last word is super fast only because you can auto fire it. By the time hawkmoon or thorn get two shots off you are already dead. I went up against a couple users and unless I sat back and long range hit them the last word outclassed thorn and hawkmoon hand cannons because you can spam fire.
 
tekthemaestro tekthemaestro he did say in pvp. And really, you don't need an exotic launcher in pvp. If guys aren't getting kills with any launcher once they get ammo something is wrong :lol:

I never sniper in any game I play, so I am really concerned about it that much.

Nah son, you are trippin on the TLW slander. You can go search any of the YT commentators or go to Reddit and you will find tons of posts about how it is the best or 2d best PvP weapon in game. You cannot say a heavy machine gun when you aren't even guaranteed to get the heavy ammo in the game to use it.

I have had TLW for about 4 weeks now and I have used it as well. I haven't finished maxing mine out because I was getting all my raid/strike weapons leveled up and taken care of first.

As long as you and Zero are in my Fireteam, I don't need to have one

My Plan C was 1 shotting the creatures from the rock above on the nightfall this week too

It's the dopest looking chestpiece in the game but unless you're playing with a fireteam that dies a lot and needs to get ress'ed fast, I wouldn't bother. Personally though, I bought all the Hunter exotic pieces I can only because you never know when Xur will have them back. Might as well collect them. Now if you have to pick one piece this week, I'd go with The Last Word instead of the chestpiece.

i was reading about that gun but i dont have enough coins for it.

the chest plate is really nice but usually i run with a bunch of warlocks who can self revive so i dont have to worry that much about reviving people.

i had gotten exotic arm pieces for the titan but im waiting until the dlc drops to see if they add that 3rd subclass for the guardians.

theres tons of posts saying every exotic is the best on reddit lol. you cant go by thread count for proof of anything except that xur is trolling. and im in the same boat as you almost. i had my first tlw about 2 weeks ago, leveled it almost to max, got another one...and accidentally broke down the leveled one instead of the new one lol.

and im sorry but getting shot twice and dying from the thorn is the worst. hawkmoon has scout rifle range. me spraying and praying to hit you 4 times with tlw dont compare in my book....
