So I had a fully leveled Truth rocket launcher in my vault and recieved a second one a couple of weeks back. The patch goes live and now i cannot find my fully leveled Truth anywhere. I still have my secondary one. Anyone else notice anything wierd like this after the patch?

Just picked this up last night. My buddy said I should roll a warlock for raiding and a hunter for pvp. Is he right? I'd rather just play a hunter but I'll do both if warlock are way better for raiding. I assume I'd raid on the lock to gear the hunter?

I may not have an icebreaker but solar burn weekly with VOC was a goddamn fun time.

I did eat it once to the huge pack of goblins near the boss. Holy fuckin damage...

I just felt too sick to hang around and get VOG done.

I dont have VoC or gallahorn, or the icebreaker. But got that shit done with a blue solar sniper, 300 IB scout rifle, swarm, and the unfriendly giant. The boss took a while but I hid behind that wall and was at no risk. Reward? Fucking Voidfang Vestments. Fuck me and my luck in this game. Did the raid after and got shards and gloves.

In order for your current exotics to be relevent with the new level cap and expansion.... you have to trade them in and purchase the new version with 7000 Glimmer and an Exotic Shard (which must be purchased with strange coins.)

The weapon's progress will then reset.

"You'll need three things. First, you need to own the original version of that exotic item, and turn it in to exchange for the upgraded version. It doesn't matter if this old version of the item is brand new or fully upgraded. To complete the upgrade, you'll also need to turn in an exotic shard. This recently introduced new material is available for purchase for seven strange coins from Xur, or by breaking down another existing exotic item in your inventory. Finally, each exotic upgrade costs a hefty dose of cash - around 7000 glimmer as of my playthrough of the expansion in mid-November. After turning all three of these things into Xur, he'll hand you a brand new version of your item with a higher defense or attack value cap.

It's important to note that this process resets the upgrades on your exotic item, but you'll now have a new higher damage or defense cap to work towards - so you'll need to decide if you'd rather keep your fully upgraded old version of a weapon or armor piece, or start over. With that said, the process of upgrading exotic items is now faster, and does not require ascendant materials. Instead, the last slot requires one additional exotic shard, as revealed in Monday's patch."

i mean its not that big a deal, instead of having to do nothing and just carry on with your exotics or toss all your exotics away slowly as you upgrade from new gear, you have to upgrade them all and then regrind max light on every one of them.

that is still kinda lame of bungie though, putting in artificial grinds for no real reason at all. it wouldn't have mattered at all if all exotics were suddenly max light 32 and they added one new tier to the last column. whatever, can't really be bothered to care much.

There are also some tidbits that seem insane. The hardmode raid won't open until January. You will only be allowed to buy one legendary item per rank up level from the new faction. A bunch more stuff that sounds insane. I dunno if its all true, but ... why did i buy the season pass

Well I was one of the unlucky chosen because of RNG and all that, chatterwhites up the ass. So now I have to grind more fucking ranks of vanguard to even get to 30.

I'm so glad I didn't "waste" $20 bucks on this dlc. That's like almost half of what I pay for the giant bottle of Jager. I was going to wait until I saw the raid completed to buy the dlc but with them not finishing the content on the dlc finished digging their grave. I will enjoy reading the bitchy people on reddit and a few other forums and laaaaugh and lauugh every fucking single time a release/dlc comes out.

With no absolute date on when hard mode would be out, they fucked up. What a bunch of retards.

Also looks like any exotics you turn in to Xur to bring current lose all the upgraded perks and you have to start leveling it from scratch. So basically they are saying "yep the last month or so you have spent doing bounties and farming for mats to level these exoctics was a complete waste of time". This game is such a fucking cockblock.

The screenshot you posted would indicate otherwise. It shows a whole lot of exotics that can be upgraded that are not listed as what he has for sale.

Do these dumb fucks even play their own game? Was hoping I didn't waste money buying the dlc's up front (like a dumbass) but alas, that doesn't seem to be the case.

"This game isn't an MMO! I'm done with everything so fast! This is bullshit!"

Cut to first dlc...

"There are new guns better than my old ones?!?! I can keep my old ones relevant but I have to DO STUFF?!?! This is bullshit!"

MMO status achieved.

Eh, whatever. The only thing that really is upsetting is hard mode not being in

He's right. The way it works is that every week, 6 weapons and 2 exotic armors per class are listed as available for upgrade.

Guess which two weapons will never show up on that list?
