Hi everyone. This is a news update thing I might start to help keep people informed about current happenings. I'll divide subjects into sections similar to a bulletin/announcements to help keep things focused. <>New members<> Welcome to Fromthasky (Sky)! Enjoyed talking and playing with you man. Skolas was being a punk but hey! Time to get you Lord of Wolves! Welcome again! So long before this clan, my friend Caleb (MrDoyle8) used to play with Colpo and I a few times. I know him in real life. He's an awesome friend. He left Destiny because he didn't like how Bungie sold the game for $60, locked the DLC on the disk and then charged money ($20 each, or $35, more than half the price of the game. Probably actvision's fault with their Call of Duty money grab schemes.) for the expansion that was supposed to be in the game. Among other reasons. Lately since House of Wolves came out he's been heavily interested in Destiny and the expansions. The Taken King is luring him as well. And then today after seeing the new Dead Orbit Machine gun, well let's just say he couldn't resist the game any longer. His Xbox LIVE tag is MrDoyle8. He'll be starting to play with us soon here in August. <>Trials of Osiris<> Trials starts today. Please team up and help each other! I haven't been to the lighthouse in quite some time, and I'd like a Jewel, I plan to run with some specific people but after I get there I am more than willing to help everyone else and do my best to get them there as well. I discovered something about Trials and the weekly reset that we may test in time. Basically you card gets reset on Tuesday, but you can stay in matches as long as you don't return to orbit, and let the next match counter run. My scorecard has 1 win this week from staying in. I have no way to buy a boon yet either. We may test and try to see if we can stack up wins or get to the lighthouse before Friday comes. Would be interesting. <>Prison of Elders<> Forewarning on Skolas, would be ideal to bring a Titan with Ward of Dawn and Weapons of Light for the 35 Skolas. The skulls are Catapult (swift grenade cool down) and Angry (Minions of the Darkness won't flinch even after massive damage). This makes Skolas pretty annoying. The enemies as well. No one will flinch and the continuously chase you with the Scorch cannon and snipers. On a side note, my main focus this weekend will be trials. However, I know the struggle of wanting that Elder Cipher done. I will help on Prison runs if I don't have anyone for trials or if I've already gone to Mercury. Anyone else willing to help those with Ciphers run Prison Challenges would be greatly appreciated! <>Xur's inventory<> Helm of Inmost Light Celestial Nighthawk Sunbreakers Weapon-no show?? Exotic engram-helmet Heavy Synth: Yes Notice: Xur appears to either be intentionally missing an exotic weapon due to Bungie, or it is a glitch or bug. It's being investigated and they will provide updates. Hold tight. (I bet it was Gjallarhorn and it broke the flipping servers ahaha) ****EDIT: Bungie has tweeted that they cannot safely alter Xur at this point. He will remain without an exotic weapon for this weekend only. They also stated he will return with a full inventory and an exotic weapon next week. <>Reminders<> ~Bungie has posted patch notes for an upcoming weapons tuning update. This affects every single weapons type and class. Many have been curved and adjusted in stats and base damage. Please be sure to read this and stay informed. Several Exotic changes as well. >>>Thorn's mechanics have been tweaked about to make it a more unique weapons as to how it's used-less damage over time and less power in hand cannons, however damage over time can now be stacked 5x. >>>Namely Hard Light will not be affected by fall off damage reduction for auto rifles, but will instead be receiving a boost. >>>Another would be Necrochasm. All Precision kills WILL TRIGGER CURSEBRINGER. CURSEBRINGER also has an increased blast radius/area of effect. >>>Just a few examples. There is so much more. This is a major update for weapon tuning. ~With the Taken King DLC don't forget Hawkmoon, Monte Carlo, and The 4th Horseman will become available, and no longer be exclusive to PSN. (Hawkmoon and 4th Horseman... Cannot wait to have them!) [][][] Well hope this helps someone. If not I'd still like to provide some news. Hope everyone has a good time in trials and the rest of the week! -spafe
