Not that I know of. HDR symbol comes up in the top right hand corner when it switches.

Yeah, I was out of the room when it booted up. Bit shit there isn’t an info button or something, to see what’s happening.

Spoilers - all Eververse items (taken from Reddit). All shown ships, ghosts and at least one set, per class, of armour that was shown in that last dlc trailer are Eververse only items.

Presumably settings, then see if it’s in “hdr game mode”...

on a B6 I can’t select a true hdr mode i don’t have a hdr signal.

 

on an xbox, just return to the home screen then go back.

I switched inputs and it showed the HDR icon in the corner when I switched back. It looks lovely, although the cutscenes seem to still be in 1080.

Just bought the expansion pass on humble bundle because I get the 10% discount for subscribing to the monthly. It now tells me, after it let me check out and pay, that they have run out of keys.

Stop making up bullshit you wildly pessimistic bet-maker!

 

I'll be on shortly for the boxes, btw.

Apparently one of the ‘new’ levels is just the Pyramidion strike.

[Hexx]

Just did it - some differences (mainly race you fight)  and last encounter is changed but geographically you run the same route. 

[Phelan]

Gah being in Aus means the download was coming when I was getting up for work

 

That MIDA Tactical ornament must be mine!!!

 

Did most of the raid last night and I still hate the Gauntlet. Dogs are fun though.

[metallicfrodo]

Madness! The Gauntlet is the high point of the Raid, the Dogs section is awful but at least it's mercifully short.

God no. I can't stand the Gauntlet. Doesn't gel with me at all.

Decreased the distance traveled in the air with the shoulder charge ability when it is executed without a target

Well, Crimson (the Red Death Handgun) certainly lives up to its Exotic billing. 24 shots, fires in a 3 burst, kills heal and precision kills refill the mag.

It sounds great, and Tess has already given me the ornament for it, so I’m now looking forward to not getting it for weeks.

field report on changes to ttitans (PC). grenades changes are trivial. shoulder charge nerf does affect mobility enough to be noticeable. weapon report: uriel seems to cause more flinch on single player. feels even more powerful at least in single player. nerf to high calibres must be pvp only.  critical damage change is barely noticeable in pve time to kill. changes to omolon sidearms also appear negligible. one surprise regarding vehicles:

got something which is not a sparrow to equip on the sparrow slot. 

 

maybe some weapon sounds have been revisited?

Just go into the full menu and see what picture mode the TV is in.

Forgive my stupidity, but which is the full menu button on the remote? For such a lovely TV, I do think the remote is pretty unintuitive.

hold down the settings (cog) button.

That just brings up ‘all settings’. It doesn’t seem to show HDR anywhere, or am I missing something?

[Lovelyman]

Click on picture mode settings.

Well I thoroughly enjoyed the single player stuff. The new set pieces bode well for a creative raid. It was visually striking on the whole, too. Such a shame about a lack of HDR as I'll unlikely play through those levels again.

[K]

I'm not sure about that clan XP notification that apepars on the right of the screen every few seconds, and there's still that immensely long pause between a cutscene ending and the level starting, but otherwise I'm really digging the single player. I've only played up to the Infinite Forest bit, but man, that is one spiffingly handsome level. The idea of the amazing Bungie skybox is a cliche, but it's also completely true in this instance. 

 

I'm also not sure what they've tweaked, but with the Titan solar chest exotic that speeds up your ability recharge, your grenades and flaming fist seem to cooldown at Destiny 1 speeds. This feels like proper Destiny.

[Qazimod]

Okay, am I going to be the first to say I'm not finding Sagira annoying?  But then again, I didn't find Failsafe annoying either...

You've done it already? 

 

Yeah, bar the adventures and side quests. I beat the main end boss, it was pretty interesting. 

 

It's about the same length as the former season updates. Way longer than TDB.

 

I started playing at 630, finished at 1030.

It's always done that. It's just that a lot of people might not have noticed it before, because by the time they log in the weekly clan contribution cap's been hit and after that it doesn't pop up any more because further contributions don't count. I guess it's filling up more slowly than it used to.

I never knew that. Weird the stuff you miss in this game.

New patrol area is both small and annoyingly large (without sparrow)

 

Decided to get tokens to try for new gear - 3 patrols (only 3 in there!), 1 lost sector (dittor) and 75 Cabal.

 

 

 

Took About 30 min (an episode of Just a minute) as pain to find Cabal.

One hand in from challenges, resource nodes and the event once.

Lincoln Green Weapon and Hiero Camo legs.

Both of which I have dozens off.

Well campaign seems a lot of fun so far (4 missions in).  The Infinite Garden is quite something visually and love the No Mans Sky vibe to pre Vex Mercury.

 

Is there much else beyond the campaign though?  Any new Adventures or quests?  Given Mercury is tiny, a couple of new Crucible maps, a raid 'room' and a powerful gear engram for heroic strikes seeming extremely slight even for Destiny DLC standards...
