Boom

So Nightfall can also drop 300+ gear now

We have our first event that can progress you outside of Kings fall

Its a double whammy

If so, I'm ok with that. Getting your character leveled to about 305-307 will help in the raid. You DON'T need to be 310 despite what LFG says. Once you start the raid, you'll get items that'll drop above 310. Once you get your characters about 310, it'll help with Oryx.

Having recently played Crota's End last weekend, people are probably going to destroy Aetheon in 1 cycle.

Already shown in a video a few weeks back with everyone using a Sleeper or Spindle, can't remember which but yeah he's dead so quick.

That's some BS if true considering everyone is running VOG normal now. Tomorrow will be like pulling teeth to get a VOG run (if it is time-gated a day like S.S. was)

Bungie, can you please stop time-gating this stuff. I'm play Destiny quite a bit but there are days when I'll miss it because you know .. "life"
I dunno if I'll do it myself tonight or not. either way I'll help groups looking to do it tomorrow.

It bears mentioning that VoG normal is very, very, very easy now if you go in with high light.
What LL were legendaries dropping at before in NF? 280? Are they now just 290?
base level 280. I'd received drops at 294, seen a little higher than that as well.

Problems:
  • 310 exotics are still much more versatile across the board. Even if you already had the Exotic you might prefer the roll of one over the other; even if you don't want it at all, the ability to infuse something you do want makes it more useful than a random legendary roll.
  • Inreased chance for a Legendary (with no other changes to the drop chances) has to mean a decreased chance for an Exotic unless I'm missing something.
  • Nightfall used to be a guaranteed source of Rep with an XP/Rep buff lasting the rest of the week. At present it isn't a guaranteed source of anything, and there's no lasting reward either.

How has anyone finished the Sword Reforged quest line? I've had it for weeks after spending an hour trying to get materials on the moon only to find one. Now I'm back at it and I've just found one after a solid hour of wandering about. What a complete waste of time.

Equip a sniper rifle and ghost that detect the planetary materials you are searching for, go to any area and zoom in using your sniper this will highlight all the nodes in the area. Once you have looted all the nodes travel to a different zone whip your sniper out and repeat the above process. I alternated between two zones and it took me 45 minutes to an hour to farm the materials for all three of my swords.

There's a delay. Whether Lakshmi will offer the quest certain days of the month or you have to wait until reset remains to be seen.

Alright thanks. Well I will do it on my Titan for now I guess.
Need to donate first.

I'm a moron and stood there with my Hunter and donated enough Motes of Light to level up the faction and I spent all but 5 of them. Guess I'll go pound out some bounties and hope that's enough.
 
Oh snap, I didn't realize you could already get above 290+ pre NF buff. Guess I had shit luck of getting exactly 290 drops three times. I assumed that was their locked drop rate. If NF can drop 300+ stuff now that is awesome! How is anyone mad about that? No longer have to rely on raid infusion fodder that never drops.
 
Yes you do, you need FWC allegiance and to level up one rank (50 motes)

Do you get the quest before or after you rank up? Or is there a quest specifically to rank up?

Fuck you and your time gated bullshit Bungie. Seriously, fuck off. I hope when you're working on Destiny 2 and you're loading up the maps it crashes half way through the night and when you get back everything was deleted

We're at atheon...

You da real MVP saving dat checkpoint.

1. Finish Paradox ghost stuff last time it was around
2. New quest from FWC today, first step is to fully level a rank
 
Weekly Heroic gives a guaranteed Legendary. Nightfall doesn't (60% chance).

Nightfall still gives below 290 and 290-300 items. Which are not progression. (You can get up to 310, but it's not a guarantee & not likely.)

Strange Coins & Three of Coins don't feel exciting as reward. "Oh boy, a chance to get loot later."

Exotic drop chance unchanged, which as I see it would be a reason to do the nightfall specifically since 3ofC lets me get exotics from anywhere else in the game.

Two smart changes:
  • Move quest rewards off of boss death to the rewards screen. People were seeing literally nothing in the post-game screen because they already got all the rewards off the boss. This right here will dramatically change normal player's perception of the Nightfall.
  • Adding ghosts to the loot table. (Why weren't they there before? Crikey.)

Ok its still an improvement over what we had

Friend finished Nightfall and the drops were a 309 Ghost, 294 Ghost, and 303 Pulse Rifle. I asked if the ghost was something different than spinmetal and wormspore but he's not sure.

Sweet another exotic quest line. Aside from waiting for the Warsats I had a lot of fun with Sleeper Simulant quest line.

I know what I will be doing when I get home.

Hope I can get my titan at least to 308 from normal this week. I'm off friday and what to hard mode raid.

Not sure 305 will cut it. Game needs to stop giving me 300 LL ghosts and class items from the raid.

Not sure I understand why they made it so HM won't drop mouldering shards but didn't change anything in NM. It is hard to get to 310 when all you get is shards for 80% of the raid every week.

Hi!
What happened to NF today?
I can not read the whole thread now.
I just finished Life is Strange and I'm ... emotional ;_;
