Destiny: FIN

[LiMuBai]

there's going to be a lot of people getting annoyed with the words "Preparing Download" tonight me thinks

[Van]

Patch is supposed to drop at 6pm (10am Pacific).

Probably best to Nightfall after that so there's the chance of updated Y1 exotics dropping.

[Lyrical Donut]

there's going to be a lot of people getting annoyed with the words "Preparing Download" tonight me thinks

Not to mention yet another 18Gb patch

[Hexx]

Oh god yes. Preparing download at 0% is my nemesis. Think I accidentally broke/restarted it 3 times last time due to impatience.

Just start it going and leave it alone Ben,.

[Gorf King]

Yes, the update will be around 6pm. No idea how big, but on PS4 at least just the file checking always takes an age, however big the patch. For those of us with very slow connections (me), if it's a biggie we (I) might be out for tonight.

Yes, vault space is an issue again. Yeah. Yessssssssssssss.

Also, you definitely don't need to do all six orbs on Golgo: it's been done with two (then jump out, then do another cycle of two later). But you do have to have a different gaze holder every time, so you have to go through all six team members as far as we can tell.

[luckypierre]

and its now been done with 1 orb.

[luckypierre]

[Hexx]

That's a silly amount of DPS. Our first kill last night was about 3 phases and 14 puddles.

Obviously we'll get better with practice and stronger but...wow

[ph0rce]

On a non-challenge run, you can do it in four or five puddles ( single orb ) with five people in the puddle each time. The key, other than having loads of Black Spindles, is to get a bubble up at the back & then a tether or maybe that Titan punch thing to boost the damage.

That's with people around 310ish.

[luckypierre]

four is pretty standard, 25%ish damage each time. I've done it in 3 before but never 2.

[Mr Ben]

I notice the other Carlton dance is going to be available at Eververse (the "get on it" one).

I could do with a class item at 320. Would make my exotic DO one 320 (its 318 atm). Helm would be amaze balls though.

Looks like I'll be racing at some point tonight (and probably the rest of the week+). And here I was hoping to finish Fallout 4 before Xmas. Damn you Bungie!

[carlospie]

Fucking racing....

'Hold on everyone worried about oryx destroying the world, I'm just gonna go hang out with some pals and race our sparrows against each other. Il be back soon I promise '

1 pool GDog hard mode challenge cheese.

[Mr Do 71]

Reboot incoming!

[LiMuBai]

Is the patch up yet?

[Van]

It is.

EDIT: 20 minute prep, 2 minute download. I think it's about half a gig.

[berties paw]

716 MB on Xbone, my boys is up and running. PS4 is still preparing to download at 77%

[Gorf King]

Yup, it's the file check on PS4. Actual patch is about the same - ~720MB. Unless it bugs out and decides to d/l all the rest of the 18.8GB, which has just happened to one of our raid crew...

[Bonzai1888]

According to my ps4....18gb+, trust no one...

[Hexx]

Don't hit dismount while racing.

[PaB]

Mariokart it ain't...

[berties paw]

"Old" engrams give you "new" gear, I just got 2 Tarantellas on my Hunter:

[PaB]

Awesome. winning my race and the half way through the last lap returned me to orbit cos it said I was inactive .

[wretcherd]

I want to see a boss race with Oryx stomping along the track like Wizpig.

[Hexx]

There's definitely some annoying bugs and/or unpredictable sparrow behaviour but it's a fun distraction.

[Mr Ben]

Patch notes: https://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Update---12082015/en/News/News?aid=14094

Swords

Arc and Void sword guard abilities can now survive a single Hammer of Sol

Some other good stuff there, including 500 rep for doing nightfalls for the first completion (about time, but a bit too late I think).

The biggie though, might be this:

3 of Coins are now applicable in Crucible playlists at match completions

[metallicfrodo]

Spent a highly enjoyable evening playing SRL. Wasn't too sure at first but having just spent a good 2 and a half hours playing with a fireteam of 3 it really is great. Races in general are really close and it elicits the frustration of going from first to last on the last corner or the elation of doing the opposite. In general it all feels fair and is especially fun if you nudge a mate away from a gate or ruin their line, and totally annoying when they do the same to you!

I think it's a great little addition and hope it becomes a fixture like IB returning for a week once a month. If it does it will probably need a few more tracks, but at the moment the two they have are great.

[Kryptonian]

Yeah, great fun was had, would play again

[LiMuBai]

This Golg challenge is a bit tough isn't it?

[Mr Ben]

This Golg challenge is a bit tough isn't it?

Didn't seem that complicated the way Lyrical and co. did it. Only need 2 real gaze grabbers, the rest just cycle through it seemed. Major thanks to them for getting me a completion tonight. 320 arms were sweet.

Told ya.

I had loads of fun on the game tonight, and didn't shoot a gun once. I'd actually pay for proper SRL dlc wil multiple tracks and a proper league/tournament system.

Did you get the log book thing from Eververse? It supposedly keeps track of your best times etc, and rewards you with a shader, emblem and full racing gear set.
