ch ch ch changes

[xHeavYx]

Any changes to the loot cave?

[GryestOfBluSkies]

not listed in these patch notes, but im sure bungie will be taking that away at some point.

[nX]

No I'm there right now while 3 others are farming engramms for me 😝

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Hope not....they need to nerf the hunters in the crucible, extremely overpowered.

[BallsEye]

loot cave is for weaklings.

[PFFT]

Nope! Thank god.

[Kidmyst]

I have yet to use the loot cave, are the dropped engrams shared or is it a free for all? Or do you see only what dropped from your own kills like on strikes?

[xHeavYx]

You can not shoot a bullet and stuff still drops, and whatever you see drop, it's only for you and no one else can get it

[UltimateMaster]

"You will remain dead if you were dead when the mission ended. That will be addressed by a future patch"

Future patch? really? You had an Alpha and a Beta and the game's still not complete?

[Plyzz]

"Destiny: The Cave
The social experience of a cave farming run is amazing: the herding to get a team of Guardians all behind the line and firing in the right direction, the rush to grab the loot, the scramble when the panic wave starts, the beckoning glow from inside the cave. The speed at which the community organized around this activity was inspiring and humbling to us.

But shooting at a black hole for hours on end isn't our dream for how Destiny is played. Our hope is that social engagement in public spaces is only one part of the Destiny experience. Expect changes soon which decrease the efficiency of cave farming and correspondingly increase engram drops from completing activities." - http://www.bungie.net/7_Des...

Aaand the hotfix is out:

"The Hive of the holy “Treasure Cave” have realized the futility of their endless assault on Skywatch and have retired to lick their wounds and plan their next attack." - http://www.bungie.net/7_Hot...

Was hoping for a fusion rifle nerf lol that thing is op in multiplayer

[ninsigma]

Gotta love the fusion rifle xD
So. Many. Rampages!!! :D

Glad they're fixing things. Though I don't get why they reduced difficulty on harder modes. Aren't they supposed to be tough??

[Stick89]

I've read around that they got rid of the ultras/elites because having them in created a glimmer farm that was crazy unbalanced (like 25k in under an hour).

[ninsigma]

Oh actually yeah. A friend of mine would do shrine of oryx on hard mode and die and re do cuz of all the majors and what not!

[kneon]

They weren't hard in the first place so I don't get it. And I don't see why they would need to reduce glimmer in just these missions, I always have too much as it is as there is nothing worth spending it on. I end up buying weapons just to dismantle them for the parts.

[Palitera]

Every special weapon is very powerful on the crucible. So, how is one of them overpowered?

The mere fact that people complain about as much on the shotgun subject points to a somewhat balanced experience.

[ScottyHoss]

Snipers at range are OP too. It's the way the game is :P fighting over heavy ammo is great, setting traps even better

[andibandit]

@Scootty

yeah luckily almost every map is a shotgun feast

[PFFT]

Why?? Thats the best weapon against the shotty.

[Randostar]

I think you mean shotgun, the fusion rifle actually takes a small bit of skill to use.

[cell989]

It does require some skill, you have to time the charge and shoot correctly so the stream hits your target or you're left sitting like a duck,it's not for everyone

[Randostar]

I know, thats why i said fusion rifles require SOME skill to use. Shotguns take none.

[andibandit]

I find the fusion rifle unreliable, sometimes all the streams hit, and sometimes 2 thirds miss on near identical shots.

[Dan_scruggs]

Can they patch in a better mission structure. Or NPC's out in the exploration zones. Or a loot system that doesn't show you a legendary engram then give you a green item. Or more enemy types. Or unique enemy spawning routines like they dynamic ones in Left 4 Dead. Or a bigger hub world. Or the ability to craft armor and weapons. Or near field communication with random players. Or just patch in a better game altogether.

[cell989]

All in due time, be patient

[ramiuk1]

i had 19 legenday engrams this last few days and non of them was legendary.

fed up with it.
also when u have a fireteam there should be chat in that strike etc.
i havent heard anyone speak yet.

do you have to set up party to talk?
an always online game that does everything it can to limit interaction with people

[Karebear]

If everyone is in game chat it IS automatic. Most people will be in a Chat Party already without Game Chat prioritized though and thus can't hear you. That's not a game limitation, it's the way chat works on PSN.

There should be a way to hear your chat party AND your game chat at the same time.

[Unspoken]

Yes, everyone in to fire team can hear each other. Party chat is better as it priotizes chat over in game sound for clariry. Speak up and stop being shy or blaming the game when you aren't even talking.

[ramiuk1]

@unspoken i have a pair of the offical sony wireless and always have voice on.
its easy to tell because u have a speaker next to your name

[Smoey]

The servers suck. It has got to the point where I have a game I can't play without disconnecting.

[GearsOfWar]

The servers seem rather good. I'm guessing it's problems on your end. My isp lags during peak times or just randomly (Not related to Destiny) and the same thing happens to me.

When updates go out, you will also be disconnected. It's to ensure you can download and install them. Destiny may not be a full blown MMO, but it borrows a lot from them.

If you have slow internet, you'll have issues from time to time. It's something I've gotten used to in many other games. There's no other ISP options where I live at the moment.

You can try connecting through Ethernet and avoid wireless. That helped a lot of the problems I had in the beginning.

[JeffGUNZ]

A message popped up yesterday right when I started playing saying they were doing maintence yesterday and to expect possible dissconnects,

[Spinal]

Well I have no server problems at all. And looking at all the people playing and Streaming, I'm guessing they don't either.

Clearly its a problem on your side mate. Talk to your Internet Provider.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

I want a competive mode....

No active radar unless shooting

No supers

No shotguns or fusion rifles

No heavy ammo

Most people on this game cannot aim at all and resort to shotguns, running away from gun fights and using supers or camping heavy ammo.

I enjoy the mp don't get me wrong but this game heavily lacks a competitive game mode for is competitive players

[Spinal]

Sounds like a boring game mode.

Its like playing a regular shooter...oh wait why don't you just do that then?

[LordMaim]

So... what, you sit on opposite ends of the map with sniper rifles? It sounds pretty dull.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

You guys act as if I said that should be the only game mode.

Simply put us competive players would like less noob friendly game modes

[Jack_Reacher]

What a whining bunch. If you dont like the game sell it now. In uk you can get a very good trade in value for it.

No one is forcing you to play it. Anyway dont worry your beloved plastic cod will be out soon.

[Locknuts]

Oh sweet! Patch notes! /s

[ScorpiusX]

I hated this game so much I trade it in towards Forza horizon 2. Beside no amount of patches can help it, for it was destined to be garbage.
