Hail 2 Da Chimp

Are exotics infusing to the level of the dismantled gear?
Also, are they decrypting above your current light level?

If so that'll make Xur's visit this weekend very interesting.

Yeah, I'm still waiting confirmation that Exotics also follow the 1:1 ratio with infusion. Bungie have only ever shown legendary infusion at 1:1, and from what I can recall, have never mentioned Exotics in any of the notes.

On infusion, yep. 1:1 upgrade. I put a second Ram helmet into my Graviton Forfeit and the upgrade was 1:1. (316 --> 324)

As for decryption - everything I have decrypted has come in at a 323/324/325 so far.

Hail 2 Da Chimp

I'm pretty sure my exotic helm jumped 1:1 - 9 light levels.

This will really remove a lot of the grind, its how the infusion should have been done from day 1.
This will mean you can actually build decent dedicated PvP and PvE builds! No more worrying about grinding for infusion fuel.

I brought my 294 NTTE to 315 with a 315 Nirwen's Mercy.

Anyone figured out why a load of us lost our clan tags?

Its only in game, its fine in the app etc so it will fix itself soon I would imagine.

And as you say, makes Xur relevant again.

Yep, they're aware of the issue.

I want my sterling treasure - never got my post-master one yesterday.

Open the clan page on Bungie.net (website not app), click the "Interact" button, select the "Repair Playstation/Xbox Clan" option from the menu. Rejoice!

Just a point on Infusion. Keep an eye on your Rolls for Armour, I decrypted a 324 Helm of St 14 last night but the Roll was better on my 310 one so I infused the 324 into the 310.

I'd only keep a new one if it has a better stat roll than the old one.

Went to the exotic kisok last night to get a y2 dreg's promise (have the y1 version), But its still saying requiring discovery. Thought you'd be able to buy those right away.

All my high level gear is PvP dedicated, made a point to infuse up my quick revive gear, my boots have the respawn perk, helmets have super energy from revives and gloves have quick melee.

There's so much gear that I just couldn't be arsed to have raid armour with the fancy aura buddy stuff and boots with bonus agility. It's just now my carry extra shotty chest will get some love, before that it was restricted to snipers and sidearms, not that you need that extra sidearm ammo.

They need to drop again but I had 2 from running 2 Challenges last night and someone in chat put up the shotty so drop rates are good, possibly guaranteed maybe?

Can't see myself getting Chroma gear due to this. Took months to get full intellect discipline with double sniper ammo perk and the reload speed for each primary.

Yeah, the drop rates for everything seemed to have increased. I did get a new queenbreakers bow and a wolves shotgun from doing the challenge. Will try the third character tonight to see if anything drops there aswell.

Yep, I'm happy enough with my builds on all characters so won't necessarily be farming for new gear just new light, if something workable drops and fits with my Spring/Summer look then good.

Ran MIDA for a few games last night, still as effective as ever and it was sweet outgunning the DoP for a change.

Same as, but I'm still stuck with a few compromises - My boots have fast revive but don't have extra rockets, etc...

But it's nice to know now, that when the right gear - with the right perks drops, I can just straight infuse and replace them.

Anyone try out some sniping? Or Fusion Rifles?

I tried some sniping in PoE, didn't get any PvP games in. I didn't see notice much change but I use snapshot on my 1KYS, so that may be mitigating some of the delay.

Sniped a bit with Antinomy, felt fine but was running out of ammo a lot, think I was only picking up 4 at a time? Also used An Answering Chord (low RoF auto) and it felt quite strong.

What I want to know is, from those that have been lucky enough, what is Zen Meteor like? Is it good enough to keep, like Moët et Chandon
in a pretty cabinet?

It is amazing to use. Really responsive. Only 3 bullets but they pack a mighty punch. Will have to practice getting it charged up though.

I can't believe it dropped so soon for me.

I was going around the tower last night (blatantly showing it off) and when people saw that I had it on my back they all changed their secondary to their Black Spindles....my sniper is bigger than your sniper...lol...

I noticed I was only picking up 4 rounds, thought it was because I didn't have my PvP gear on though. But they did nerf the amount of sniper rifle ammo you can carry alright.

HELP REQUIRED......

With DIM back up and running, I was going through my gear, vaulting what can be dismantled, and came across the following:

2 Armour Core / 2 Weapon Core / 7 Token of Flight / 6 Token of Identity / 9 Token of Judgement. I can hand these in to Variks for HoJ rep @ 100 rep each, I believe. All well and dandy, but, what can I do with the following:

227 Ascendant Energy / 196 Ascendant Shards
110 Radiant Energy / 70 Radiant Shards

I assume these can be handed in for rep somewhere???

Motes at the speaker for all your energy swaps. At least that's what I used mine for as I saw Cormac doing this for Dave when he went through his inventory.

Cool. Obviously been sitting on them for the last year now, just vaulted them and forgot.

Plus, Who visits The Speaker anymore?

Hail 2 Da Chimp

There was a thread on Reddit about this recently.

Basically if you want to power level a factions rep:
Sell energy / shards to the Speaker to max Glimmer.
Buy Heavy Ammo synths from Variks using Glimmer + 1 Ether seed.

Here's the Thread:

Psst, that's where all the really cool Hunter cloaks are stored, but let's keep that between me and you, okay?

You should get a new cloak saying "I wore Speaker cloaks before 1:1" just so everyone knows who started the trend.

I should you're right, it's quite sad but I have different cloaks for different shaders or vice versa so I was coordinating before this chroma fandango.
