Destiny Thread (Bungie) - 9/9/14

Well I just did those new queens wrath bounties. Kinda easy. Did all 4 solo. Gjallahorn made easy work of all of em. Also you can't shoot rockets/damage the enemies as they fall from the ship it'll just say they're immune until they hit the ground. Just a heads up.

Edit: also the chests spawn in different locations, but I think the bounty enemies spawn in the same spot every time. Didn't get any of those treasure key things yet, but I'm gonna try again on my other character.

For those that are still on/when you can get back on. Heads up you can get POE treasure keys/legendary engrams from those chests and you can hit 1 chest multiple times by leaving zones and coming back like with regular chests.

Only works while your key is still active so find those chests ASAP.
 
Apparently the Blink cool down is much longer, you can't spam blink anymore.. and when you get hit with Thorn theres a burn noise instead of the screen turning green.

My connection is no longer red in Crucible (even though I have a great connection). No more hate mail :smokin

Happy BDAY biggie62 biggie62

Double Crucible Marks :smokin

Looks like these Lizard Squad idiots are back.
If i remember correctly maintenance was planned for this week. These idiots may have had nothing to do with it.
 
Got 3 of 4 chests with the hunter the first try. Didn't wait around to try the 3rd one again since I had to do it on my other guys anyways. No key for me though unfortunately.
 
For those who want spoilers for HoW. Some stuff was datamined including weapons, armor, and a whole lot of everything else. I'm putting link in a spoiler.

Day 5 bounty just opened up. It is on the moon.

Still no keys with my warlock. Still have the Titan left and then go back for the day 5 bounty with warlock and Hunter. Guess farm keys after that.

Oh... You can leave the zone and come back while you still have the buff and get the loot again from the chest :smokin
 
Ive been obsolete from thread and Destiny in general, I got an update last night, what was it about?
