It is because there is a 2.01 patch as well as turning on Tess.

It is just silly that it doesn't happen at 3am when not many people would be playing.

from an IT guy perspective, I'm happy that they do it in the middle of the day. Much much more difficult to launch something like this and support it in the middle of the night than in the middle of the day.
in our office almost ever major production cutover happens mid-day, when every developer, engineer, architect, and technician is on duty.
I missed out on two Nightfalls last week.
Ready to knock out all three quickly this week and also dominate some IB.

If you get something like 3 of coins then it REALLY sucks. They probably need to buff NF rewards. I missed two last week also and I don't even care. Its better to do the raid with the time, I think.

RIP shot package. RIP OP Black Spindle.
I never infused my 310 spindle. Damn it.
Strange coins are gonna be tougher to get as well now (even though they added something to buy from xur that will require them)
Pulse Rifle from IB looks legit.
Anyone wanna do IB tonight? I think I've already got 3 including me, so looking for 3 more.
little upset about the 280 light level gear
I'll be on around 9:30 or 10 looking to IB. I need that pulse rifle

I've got several 295+ blues standing by to use as infuse fuel
I think the primary method of rewards was meant to be the drops you get (hopefully drop rates are pretty decent). I hope those drops will be at a light level comparable to whatever light you are (up to 300 potentially), but I do agree it is pretty annoying. I was hoping IB would be a way to guarantee myself an increase in light and now it appears not be that at all.
The pulse rifle is very solid, the only real bad thing about it is the handling (hawksaw on the other hand has amazing handling). If the recoil pattern is vertical it may become my go to PVP weapon, but I do have a lot of choices.

Wouldn't be as upset if they had unique perks but other than a good pulse rifle doesn't look like much
also need 3 more for a raid if anyone is interested
Not only did they nerf the Strange Coin drop rate, but the drop rate of weapons parts from blues and greens as well?
Increasing the grind of this game is not a way to retain this player... too many other games out there to be played.

A lot of the nerfs can be directly attributed to closing exploits that people were using to cheat the game.
But on the upside to the weapon part, they drop 20% less but they're worth 33% more in faction rep, so you actually come out ahead.

You don't need very many at all for upgrading weapons unless you're churning through a lot of different ones. So right now they're mostly just piling up in peoples' inventories.

Ehhhh, exotic weapons take quite a bit.

Unless you're burning motes of light or stacking exp bonuses and bounties, there's no reason that random drops can't keep pace with the need for weapon parts.quote:quote:which is precisely why they changed the drop rate and the reward.quote:Only if you're using them for faction rep, which I'm pretty sure almost no one was.quote:

I burned all of my stocked up weapon parts from yr 1 on rep the first few days, and the only time since then that I've run out was when I was using the redbull exp bonus and burning motes of light.
10 weapons parts per exotic node, plus 10 to infuse each time quickly adds up.
I just find it hard to believe that people somehow, at the start of an expansion, have so many weapons parts to burn that they're burning them on faction rep. Reducing weapon parts drop just adds to the grind for the majority of players... having to grind just leads to burnout faster.

The raid is too time-consuming to be the only way to get 300+ light level gear. It's really starting to annoy me. If IB is 280 then Trials gear better be 300+.
Oh just saw what the NF was this week. Chances of me doing it are zero.
apparently there are now some 330 atk weapons dropping in the raid and strikes and from engrams which'll help with getting up above
Jumping on for IB, raid, etc. as soon as this update finishes.
Anyone having trouble with the update? Mine wouldn't start, and now i have apparently deleted the previous updates. So I'm staring down an 18 gig download. ....

so here's the trick.
Back out of the big screen that opens when you try and open Destiny.
Go into your "Notifications" menu and go down to "Downloads"
There you'll see the status of the download and the update.
Leave it on that screen until it completes, shouldn't actually take more than 15 or 20 minutes at most.
Anyone down to help me with a couple of quest?

PSN actually uses a "torrent" like system for distributing downloads and updates, so it can ebb and flow, and the estimate times are anything but reliable.
Now says 6 hours

I had over 1000 weapon parts and armor materials just on my warlock but my time played is off the charts so there's that. Weapons and armor used to be much worse. Legendarys and exotics took 25 per node.
