Can anyone fathom what the f**k the 2.2GB update included.
I did notice a map fix though. On the weekly heroic you can no longer hide in the hill side bit to avoid getting hit and still be able to shoot.

As the video says it makes it far easier with all the boosts. I'm almost level 4 now having started at 0 for some strange reason. Should be level 5 later today after a few games.
If you are in party chat the frame rate seems to take a massive hit.
Did anyone get to level 5 iron banner? I managed it Saturday morning so managed to pick up all the pieces. Still a lvl 29 as I don't have a raid helmet or chest. Guess I will have to wait for IB 3.0.

Got my first bit of raid gear last night. Went through on normal silly quick.
Really want to hit 30 before the new raid is out on the 9th but I highly doubt I will. Saying that it'll take a few days before someone has worked it all out and completed it.

Servers have been utterly s**t tonight. Not fun
I got 2 pieces in a raid last night was quite happy with that! Just need to finish the final boss tomorrow, never got round to it tonight as i couldnt be arsed...
Best patch ever today. No more farming!
Bad luck if you love your Suros though!
Today's patch includes the long-awaited arrival of Exotics weapon buffs, additional acquisition paths for destination upgrade materials, along with additional changes to exotic gear node upgrading in preparation for the soon-to-be-released expansion, The Dark Below. We're also correcting issues induced by our more recent update to the Raid.
Weapons
Exotics
Exotic Weapons are designed to look, feel, and sound overpowered. At the same time, they are not supposed to break the balance of the game. We hope these weapons challenge the way players think about their loadouts. Exotics will be a constant work in-progress!
General
In preparation for the Dark Below, Exotic Armor and Weapons no longer require Ascendant Materials to upgrade
The final upgrade node of all Exotic Gear will require an Exotic Shard
Exotic Shards can be obtained by one of the following means:
Dismantling unwanted Exotics
Purchased from Xur for 7 Strange Coins
Exotics now start at a higher base Attack value and have a narrowed upgrade range to compensate
Thorn
Projectiles now briefly highlight targets on impact
Mark of the Devourer DoT (damage-over-time) upgrade increased against PvE enemy targets
Reload Speed increased
Magazine Size increased
Ammo inventory size increased
Stability and Weapon Handling increased
Bad Juju
Magazine Size increased to 8 bursts (was 5)
Ammo inventory size increased
String of Curses now also decreases the cooldown of your Super on kill
Adjusted effects to not block first person reticle
Hard Light
Stability increased
Perfect Balance upgrade replaced by Fitted Stock (increases maximum possible weapon Stability)
Suros Regime
Lowered total damage at the end of the mag on SUROS Regime upgrade to be more in line with the Glass Half Full perk on Legendary Auto Rifles
Monte Carlo
Stability increased
Range slightly decreased
Monte Carlo Method upgrade now also has a chance to fully charge melee ability on kill
MIDA Multi-Tool
MIDA rounds now have increased knockback against targets in both PvE and PvP
Hawkmoon
Send It upgrade (which was redundant) replaced by Speed Reload
Red Death
Rate of Fire increased slightly, but Burst Damage reduced to compensate
Plan C
Weapon Handling speed increased
Player Speed increased while Plan C is in hand
Pocket Infinity
Speed Reload upgrade replaced by Extended Clip which allows the option to increase magazine size (5 bursts)
Vex Mythoclast
Attack Power increased to 323 (from 300)
Base Damage increased, fixing bug we introduced in previous patch
Enhanced Battery upgrade by Extended Mag (this change still allows for a significant upgrade to Magazine Size, but less than before)
Invective
Reload Speed increased significantly, auto fires slightly slower
Ice Breaker
Send It upgrade replaced by Lightweight (which was redundant as Icebreaker already had maximum range)
New effects for enemies killed by Ice Breaker upgrade
Patience and Time
Snapshot upgrade replaced by Custom Optics (provides a lower zoom option)
Super Good Advice
Stability increased
Truth
Magazine Size increased to 3 (was 1)
Activities
Raid
Fixed an issue we introduced in a previous patch, in which Atheon did not correctly send 3 players through the time gates
Fixed an exploit where the Templar could be forced off its platform
Daily Heroic Story
Destination Materials now drop from completing the Daily Heroic
Bounties
Removed the ‘Relic Hunter’ Bounty
Destination Materials now drop from completing the Daily Patrol Bounty
Vendors
Reduced Cryptarch reputation gain from Engrams, but reputation reward packages now have an increased chance for Legendary Engrams
Players will now be able to use Vanguard Marks and Crucible Marks to purchase Spinmetal, Relic Iron, Spirit Bloom, and Helium Filaments from the Vanguard and Crucible Quartermasters in the Tower
Xur now sells a new material, Exotic Shards, to upgrade the final node of Exotics for 7 Strange Coins
Faction Class Items (ex: FWC Cloak, Dead Orbit Mark, etc.) are now replaced by Faction Emblems in the rank-up reward packages from Faction Vendors
Technical
Networking fixes, which should reduce the instance of the Bee family of KTOs
Fixed an issue in which using Xbox One party chat induced a slower frame rate.

Annoyed that you can't push the templar off. It was the easy way to get the extra chest.
So the final fight in the raid is fucked up...
Portals sometimes send you back the way you came, the shield doesnt always protect you so you can be hit, and sometimes not everyone in the party can do the big damage for 30 seconds (just normal damage)

Well that's fucked up
If you though that was bad get a load of this...
http://www.bungie.net/7_The-Dark-Below-Preview/en/News/News?aid=12442
I'm almost glad I'm still a measly lv.28!
I'm going to just do a load of Tiger strikes + Crucible until dlc drops.
Save all your shards/mats, glimmer and put drop items in your vault as a stockpile of glimmer (House Banners etc).

That's not an expansion. That's moving the goal posts. They shouldn't f**k with stuff people have already got. I agree with allowing people to upgrade their exotics but everything else was a piss take

Loving the dlc. Just got a gallahorn with 302/331 attack. Much better.
Going to do the nightfall shortly.

So the nightfall is ridiculously hard. Just about to attempt the raid and see how we get on. Friend of mine has got as far as crota and said it's actually quicker than Atheon.
I got up to the last boss battle in the third story (the 4 wizards) on level 30. There were just 2 of us and almost killed the 4th wizard only to be taken out by a surprise attack from behind - seems pretty tricky though! Is that the final part of the mission does anyone know?
After the wizards comes an ogre along with hallowed knights, (2 hits from those and your dead)
Me and a mate did it on our 2nd attempt.. Was good fun!

Same we were both level 29 doing it on hard.
Can you not attack the stone until all 4 wizards are dead then? I never know which is the best weapon type to use against hive, is it solar?
In the room we were sort of standing near the entrance as you come in, just behind a rock. Seemed the best place for cover in there without being caught in a cross fire

Depends on their shields. Iirc the witches had fire shields.
I just noticed i read your origional post wrong, i thought you ment the mission before the final one, after all 4 wizards are dead you have to destroy the stone and thats it, i was just running around dodging everything haha
As for best weapon, for wizards you need solar based weapons to take out the initial shield, then imo it doesnt matter what you use once the shield is down..
Cool that's what I thought. I assume you can't kill the stone until the wizards are dead then? Didn't seem too hard I was just tired last night, sure I'll get it done tonight.
Overall though the DLC seems a ridiculous rip-off for what you get...£20 is about 2/3 of the cost of an entire game!

Yeah have to kill the wizards before you can destroy the stone..
Everyone says that but i paid £35 for both expansions..
So in the end £17.50 per expansion when the 2nd comes out.
This one we got:
The story (although short)
A strike
A raid
New PVP maps
New weapons
New armour
I dont think its to bad.. Might be more with the next one, who knows!
I have really liked the new stuff apart from the new pvp maps... Far too big. I done the weekly on hard but have not yet attempted the nightfall! Maybe tomorrow. I solo'd the first chest on the raid and got a couple of items but other than that I'm just trying to get to level 31... Hopefully tomorrow, just before I try the nightfall.
