The funny thing is that I don't think it's even possible to obtain an Eidolan Ally anymore, so if you don't have one of those waiting in your vault then it doesn't even matter if the game decides to drop you a crux. Correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure Eris just stopped carrying that embalming orb or whatever the gently caress it was that brings Husk up to a legendary.

It doesn't appear in her inventory if you go and look but it could always be conditionally hidden until you have a maxed out Husk. If the Necrochasm was straight up unobtainable the completionists on Reddit would have thrown a shitfit by now.

You can just keep burning them. The Court will bury you in loot (even if 99% of it is crap, it's a great source of armor and weapon mats).

I just picked up Destiny this weekend after seeing a crazy good deal on it for Xbox One. Since I haven't played before I'm waiting to use the Spark of Light on a second character while I use the first to get to know the game. Anything I should be doing besides story quests and bounties as I level?

No, that's pretty much it. The game is vastly improved from launch in terms of the guidance it gives you for finding newly unlocked activities. For endgame stuff if you're on PS4 you can find teams in a thread in private game servers and if you're on xbox there's a google spreadsheet in a treehouse somewhere.

What are the vendor rolls on IB gear this time? I'm dreaming of a really nice ViewTac weyloran and pulse reloader gloves.

We find out at 10AM Pacific. With the amount of gear you get from the playlist now you're very likely to get something close to those.

What's the Nirwin's roll? I've been using one of those as my pvp primary since forever with truesight, counterbalance, handlaid stock, feeding frenzy.

Triple tap will almost never proc in crucible unless you're an absolute god, save it for PVE and get the vendor one.

A bit. Some new content was patched in, including some temporary events that then went away again. Lots of balance tweaks with mixed results. Changes to drop mechanics. Stream in 1.5 hours about the next expansion.

All this is stuff we're supposed to be noticing on our own as we play, so much for discovery

No, that's based on the 20 seconds they spent in the stream looking at each other's armor (in between the 5 minutes about sparrow concept art and 5 minutes about adding a dead walker to the Divide).

Is there some good explanation of how exactly infusion works since the April update?

Do the attribute bonuses of the infused armor increase along with the power level or what?

Yes, but only because they've always scaled with light level.

The only change is that when you infuse the target item always rises to the exact level of the consumed item.

Much simpler and less drastic response than disconnecting people- if the game detects that it's the one with the problem, it puts up a big ol' "ENCOUNTERING NETWORK ISSUES" banner and stops accepting input until it clears up.

Obsurveyor posted:

What do you do with them while the banner is up? How do you deal with catching them up to the present for both them and everyone else? That just adds even more difficulty to the engineering nightmare that is network programming. When you get the black screen and come back in Destiny now, I believe that's a host migration and everyone sees it.

The same way it's done now, except they won't be attacking anyone else while it happens. It's not disruptive to anything else the game is doing, it just makes playing while laggy ineffectual and unfun, so no more incentive to lagswitch or keep playing while your connection shits itself.

e: I mean cut off controller input, not network input, if that wasn't clear.
