Well, let's see in 11 hours. We have some proof with there being no faction commendations.

Every.Single.Firstrun upgrade/currency system has been terrible, so why would we expect anything better here?

Yea, because faction commendations would be redundant since they all require crucible marks anyway.

I expect some people to have grounded complaints. Like the one you have on upgrading exotics. At least that had concrete Bungie backed info.

Can I use Xur to upgrade vex mythoclast, or is it limited to the exotics he's been selling like Suros etc?

They already buffed Mythoclast to be in line with the new 2.0 exotics. I think. I STILL CAN'T GET ONE TO DROP.

So far we do not know if his upgrade system is going to exclude the Mythoclast or Playstation exclusive exotics. Would be rather silly, but the only image of the new Xur inventory showed stuff he's able to sell or were part of an exotic bounty.

You can't upgrade the Vex Mythoclast. It is already upgraded.

I am also disappointed that with the new 323 attack vanguard weapons there is no equivalent to shadow price.

Actually, no one knows wtf is up with the Mytho. It was buffed to 323 attack with no XP reset (SO IT IS POSSIBLE GWAUAR!11), but the new exotics and upgraded exotics will hit 331. So it's in this weird transition state atm.

1) It could be that the mytho will hit 350something when we upgrade it
2) It could hit 331 when we upgrade it, which would be a real kick in the balls
3) It might not upgrade, which would be silly
4) It might be automatically upgraded to 331 like it was to 323 because some intern typed in 323 instead of 331.
5) Profit

Someone posted a list of all the new vanguard gear that was datamined:

http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2onlms/new_vendor_armor_weapons_and_exotics_and_how_they/

Apparently all the existing legendary weapons will be left behind, so instead of doubling the currently existing vanguard armoury, our choices will consist of the new gear. Which to me is really really loving stupid.

Also the gear factions are selling is just going to be straight upgraded.

I hope the expansion will be fun. I played the game somewhat intensively for about a month and then took a break awaiting new content.

Another question for you fine gentlemen; what headset are you using? Since there's no volume slider in destiny, I wan't to buy one that automatically lowers the game audio and boost the chat - any recommendations?

Sony Golds or Pulse Elites have volume sliders that work great and the quality is really good on both sets.

Yeah guns being left behind is total bullshit and subtly worse than the exotic bs. It's not a good sign for the future.

At least that means I have a whole bunch of ascendant energies waiting to be made once I start getting the new guns and they need upgrades! :downs:

Though I'm going to be super picky about what I upgrade considering anything I get starting tomorrow is going to become scrap in March.

Honestly i do not get why they didn't have some way to upgrade weapons. People say its the standard MMO gear treadmill, but i can't think of a single MMO where your weapon defines your role. People are attached to their weapons, i loving love my Shadow Price, but now my choice of getting a 323 attack assault rifle is a low damage, and high rate of fire assault rifle.

poo poo at least offer the existing vanguard gear at the new higher attack levels.

No relation. Your mouth foams. We dance.
So, is it confirmed that the update will be rolled out at the reset time? Or will the reset happen and a patch drop tomorrow mid-morning-ish?

Given enough people here, Xboners, are interested I'd probably do a raid at release because I got gently caress-all to do tomorrow other than make the wife some breakfast.

Re:my question about KontrolFreaks, thank you goons they work drat good, Max sensitivity from a 6, I got the pack with the little stick and the big stick. If you have not tried them I recommend giving them a shot if you have not already.

Would the small ammo pool hurt the mythoclast to much to use as a raid primary? I have been trying to decide between it and the VoC for what to run for the first blind raid.

I would use whichever ends up with the highest attack rating, so probably the Mytho.

I'm gonna take my Mytho for a spin in the Crota raid today and see how it works today. If it's constantly running out of ammo I'll just switch to VoC or Suros or something, but I'm hopeful that it'll work out and be more ammo efficient just because it has more attack than anything else right now.

Sorry, I meant sound quality. I've had my Pulse Elites for nearly 2 years and they're in good shape, but I don't want to oversell the build on the Golds since I've only used them for a few minutes.

I tried Mythoclast in a HM raid the other day and kept running out of ammo. It would probably be usable if you had a secondary you could use in normal situations... Kinda sucked with ice breaker as my secondary.

Which class are you? If you can get "more fusion ammo" armor (either from exotics like the praxic or hopefully new gear) if is more manageable. I have a praxic and plan on rolling Mythoclast and my Arc Fusion or VoC and the Plan C (along with a Hezen Vengance or my Solar Jolder's Hammer).

Btw that Solar Jolder's hammer has field scout so in PVP it spawns with 50 in the clip and 25 in the hole, definitely makes some guardians turn cold http://www.bungie.net/en/Legend/PGCR/1/4611686018432578795/2305843009227914629/990689052?_

I didn't know there was a "Breaker" medal, but if four guardians are gonna sit on a control point right after the hammo spawn, they better know the Jolder's Hammer is coming. It's just too bad it's already a second tier weapon before the next IB.

I think he's saying that it sucked not being able to use it at the same time.

I just check all my gear and I don't have anything at LL30 with fusion rifle ammo, I'm going to try the mythoclast but chances are if the ammo is an issue I'll just fall back to VoC/Fatebringer. We'll see how much of a difference the 23 AR is I guess.
