Don't think last week's update changed the weapons. Nirwan's Mercy was still as wonderful as ever. Think the weapon balancing comes in December. I think Scout Rifles , particularly the Hung Jury can hold it's own in PvP.
Haven't used an auto rifle in Crucible in about a year or whenever it was they killed the Suros, which was my previous go to gun.

There was an update when TTK dropped, which was supposed to buff auto rifles.

Was trying to get better with pulse rifle / sniper combo.

Ironically, I got a lot of kills with my Hawksaw last night on my Hunter, so I may just be getting the hang of it...

Very, very steep leaning curve for me though.

Oh bugger, you're right! It's the Dec update I read about on the weekend

Have a read off this and watch the video.

The 1st thing that struck me was if we had the person on the 1st platform (who jumps up with the Relic Runner) or the 3rd Platformer be Hunters and Tether the 2 Ogres on their side either 1) Just as Oryx is slamming his fist, or 2) Just as Ogre 2 is spawning (so as to tether Ogre 3 and 4) instead of having the roamers do it

Quick Hard Raid at 6:30? Looking for a fast one as meeting my brother at about 9pm

So if we had 6x309s and 2 of each class that would be swell.

I call either Warlock or Hunter as I would like Hard Mode boots for them

These are a must buy if your system(s) is/are in a different room or on other side of room from router. Negligible to no noticeable difference in speeds if your where wired directly to the router.

Some things to consider though. The more adapters you have plugged in, the lower your speed, as the signal is sent to ALL sockets in the house, and any socket that has an adapter, will decrease the available bandwidth. Now, I don't mean that with 2 adapters (Not counting the one connected to the router) that your speed is split evenly between them, just that there will be a noticeable difference with more adapters. (Personally, I only have the one adapter, excluding the router, connected to both PC and PS4, and am getting about 47Mbs down on a 50Mbs line)

More importantly, if your house has multiple fuse boards (shouldn't be an issue for the majority of people), ensure that all adapters, including the one connected to the router are on the same circuit, as the adapters will not across multiple circuits.

playing there over lunch!, seen a guy in pvp wearing an exotic helm and an exotic class item (one for dead orbit), its perk allows 2 exotics to be worn and also increases dead orbit rep, but after level 25, whats the point ?

Looks cool (ish) I have two Dead Orbits and one FWC. They're pretty easy to unlock. It's just a grind.

For bragging rights! I have the Dead Orbit Warlock Bond but never really wear it. Needs to be ascended.

I can't imagine any getting all of the different exotic faction items. Way too grindy. Imagine getting all 3 factions up to rank 25 on 3 characters....... :eek:

SteveDPirate

Actually, there's ships and shaders that drop from the higher faction ranks also. Mostly cosmetic, but a lot of people want exclusive shaders etc.

anyone trying a raid tonight ?

Also wouldn't mind a run through prison of elders level 32,34. never beat qodron or kaliks.

I might be on around 8 for an hour or so.

Wouldn't mind getting in on that raid if there's any room left ?

ManadInTheHead

if there is room on a raid team, im online exploring the wastelands.

Nightfall not so bad this week. Specialist really does a number on Oul Bonehead and Telesto destroys him. Had that part of the fight done in around 3 mins.

Tether + Black Spindle will take him straight to the final phase.

Thats strange.. (no pun intended) did you go to orbit after opening or straight quit the game?

There was a weird bug were I didn't get some loot after opening packages until I went to orbit.

You were right. Got a badass 318 helm for my Warlock. happy days

I've been throwing motes, armour materials, green / purple ammo and even weapon parts (before they started selling them) at factions to rank them up. Generally do it after a few beers when I don't fear the consequences of such actions.

Was boards down for everyone else/what happened. I never knew work was this dull - it just came back.

It is badass. Kinda reminds me of Boba Fett's helmet :pac:

The Hunter IB helm is also very nice.

Early on I deleted the Vision of Confluence which took me months to get back. It doesn't get much worse than that. :rolleyes:

The daughters were a nightmare! Silly little mistakes were made! Glad to have got it done though on the hunter.

I noticed the new forum request was rejected and the thread closed. Surely we had enough votes?!?
