Pretty significant changes made with this update. The ones I think that I like and are most helpful are: Malfeasance Exotic buff - needed a buff and it's now great to use in Gambit. Gambit Meatball will spawn loads more in every week. I didn't get it last night but this is the middle week and it's way more frequent next week. However, I need the cosmetic drops so more of these spawning will mean more chances to get them but for others that haven't got Malfeasance, it's their chance to get the Quest to drop. Banshee the Gunsmith will give you packages every 25 weapon parts, not 100. Really good for trying to find a god roll. 6 Spider bounties giving Enhancement (Masterwork) Cores. More ways to get them finally but more importantly gives more of an incentive to do other Spider Bounties rather than just the weekly one. At the same time, holding 20 rather than 10 Ghost fragments is really helpful too on Tangled Shore. Finally Exotic duplicates will be far less! Hurray! Also, with quest weapons being removed from the loot pool (shouldn't have ever been there in the first place) this will give everyone more excitement over dropping an Exotic engram now.

DESTINY 2 UPDATE 2.0.5 20h - Destiny Dev Team Sandbox Weapons Malfeasance Increased Explosive Shadow detonation damage Increased damage against Taken and invaders Wish-Ender Increased base Wish-Ender damage Fixed an issue where Wish-Ender’s Broadhead perk would not activate properly, which would result in a loss of damage Wish-Ender's Queen's Wrath perk effects are now more readable and consistent Trace Rifles Now spawn with 50 ammo in the Crucible Now benefit from the following armor perks: Auto Rifle Loader Unflinching Auto Rifle Aim Auto Rifle Targeting Precision Weapon Targeting Auto Rifle Dexterity Increased Sword damage in PvE Increased Fusion Rifle damage in PvE Proximity Grenades now have a stat penalty to blast radius Reduced the amount by which Full Choke narrows projectile spread Changed the Dynamo and Distribution perks Players will need to activate their class ability in proximity to at least one enemy to gain the benefit Increased the energy gain by 20% to compensate slightly for the new requirement Fixed an issue where Dynamo’s effect was not scaling based on the player’s class type; the Distribution perk had this, but it was unintentionally left out of Dynamo General Increased visibility through a Titan’s Banner Shield for allies The White Nail perk should no longer occasionally activate before the player achieves the required number of precision hits Fixed an issue where the SUROS Regime scope was opaque yellow Fixed an issue where Polaris Lance’s The Perfect Fifth perk was not triggering Combatants General Fixed an issue where Vex Cyclopes weren’t attacking players Fixed an issue where Hive Knights and Taken Vandals were not using special abilities Activities Crucible Breakthrough Decreased attacker respawn time from 7 seconds to 5 seconds after the Breaker is deployed Modified the game rules to prevent teams from forcing the round into a stalemate: In the initial fight over the Breaker, the team with the most capture progress (high-water mark) will win the Breaker if time runs out without any Breaker progress present. There will still be overtime if time runs out with progress present, and the Breaker will go to the team with current progress at the end of 30 seconds, or to the high-water mark if progress reaches zero with no players on the Breaker. While a team is hacking the other team’s Vault, progress decay accelerates gradually during Sudden Death for up to 30 seconds, after which the round will end the moment no attackers are present in the capture zone. If the round ends in a draw twice, the match ends in a tie. Neither team will get Glory points from this scenario. Win Streaks are maintained. Gambit Sleeper Simulant now gains less ammo from Heavy ammo crates on the wall in Gambit (now 2, down from 4) Swords now gain more ammo from Heavy ammo crates on the wall in Gambit (now 12, up from 6) Fixed an issue where sometimes one team’s invasion portal would not open Fixed an issue where sometimes the wrong team would be credited for defeating the Ascendant Primeval Increased the spawn rate of the Ascendant Primeval Servitor The Gambit ship and Sparrow are no longer guaranteed drops Quitter protection Fixed an issue where matchmaking would sometimes result in players being kicked from Gambit matches, thus triggering quitter penalties Quitter penalties have been reenabled Players will now receive two warnings before they are suspended from Gambit Players will not be immediately suspended on the first match of the day if they quit a match the night before Increased suspension time to 30 minutes General Fixed an issue where players could play the strike “The Corrupted” with a six-player fireteam Items and Economy Exotic Duplicate Weighting When a player receives an Exotic, we now take into account all Exotics the player has found and weight them against Exotics they have yet to acquire. This lowers the player’s chances of receiving Exotics they already own. Exotics that the player does not yet own are individually weighted much higher than duplicate Exotics When receiving duplicate Exotics, the player is more likely to earn armor pieces as these have randomly rolled perks Removed quest Exotic weapons from the Exotic engram loot pool Worldline Zero Ace of Spades Wish-Ender One Thousand Voices Malfeasance Lord of Wolves The Chaperone Enhancement Cores Renamed Masterwork Cores to Enhancement Cores Enhancement Cores are now awarded by Scrapper bounties and six of the Spider's weekly bounties Enhancement Cores will be more visible in the loot feed General Banshee-44 now accepts up to 25 Gunsmith Materials at a time Removed hold time for the Spider’s material exchange interactions Increased the stack size of Ghost Fragments from 10 to 20 Reduced shader dismantle time from 1 second to 0.25 seconds Fixed an issue where the Secret Victories emblem was using the wrong tracker description It now correctly displays as “Ascendant chests looted” The requirements for the Queen’s Bounty “Purification Ritual” have been clarified and now list the target as “Abyssal Champions” instead of “Swordbearing Knights” Raid challenge bounties now rotate in a fixed, round-robin fashion Nightfall unique rewards will drop more consistently; the longer players go without a unique drop, the higher their chances of a unique reward on their next Nightfall completion The chance resets once a player receives any Nightfall unique reward PC General Text chat auto-fade can now be toggled on or off in the Gameplay settings menu; when turned off, text chat will never automatically fade out, even after a period of inactivity

Yeah, trying to find patch notes so we can put up in a separate thread.

I suggest one of you create a new thread for the new Minecraft world so you can keep updates in it. That way, old people returning will know you're on about a brand new world setup 👍

Little surprised it took you this long for the mum comment. I watched a brief video that told me that SMGs don't beat any AR at any distance, apart from the Spitfire. What attachments have you got on it?

For some reason I didn't fully check the list but this seems to be the latest one. I'm actually surprised in a nice way that some of the titles are included: Battle Arena Toshinden Cool Boarders 2 Destruction Derby Final Fantasy VII Grand Theft Auto Intelligent Qube Jumping Flash Metal Gear Solid Mr Driller Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee Rayman Resident Evil Director’s Cut Revelations: Persona Ridge Racer Type 4 Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo Syphon Filter Tekken 3 Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Twisted Metal Wild Arms Twisted Metal and Destruction Derby were 2 of my favourite games, alongside FF7, Tekken 3 and Ridge Racer 4. Whilst I'm as interested now as I was with the SNES, for someone like me it doesn't really give me anything more. I own most of these on original PS1 and you could probably pick up the ones you care about the most with a second hand PlayStation for peanuts.

I'm not getting any lag issues on blackout currently. Probably fixed all early 'issues'.

Vapr is wrecking me, Maddox is wrecking me so it could be one of them. I want Swordfish but that slows my play down which if I'm just in the mood for ultimate casual fun, this doesn't really work for me. High fire rate is winning for me atm so Vapr could win even though I haven't even tried it.

Did you get to test this out @phil bottle?

Aren't we still waiting for the next release? Or was that 7 days? Or both?

Any gameplay of it anywhere? I do enjoy a good game trailer, however without seeing anything that resembles in game actions I'm not sure what to expect.

I believe a number of people play instruments here Justin, we'd actually have a pretty awesome band if we could get an international set-up planned! @SensaiNemesis Chad and @Stretch616 both play too. For some reason I think @Greboth also does?

Looking forward to your and other opinions on this. It's gotta hit the mark for it to break my main 3 games I'll be playing for the rest of the year.

This map is amazeballs. Is that 2 separate sides I see?!?

This. Looks like a Fortnite copy to me. I ain't bothered about it, not if its just cosmetic stuff like sprays. They were the bain of my life in Overwatch.

Told you.... Feels Marmitey to me. I enjoy Destiny PvP and Overwatch and I get a very similar experience with this. If i'm not on my game then I get well and truly fucked. Thats okay though, thats just PvP games for me.

Bet mine had less words than yours bruv 😘😂

LOLZ @Diddums. This is why I love you. Also, that right there is usually the gauge that it is actually a really good game - you being hyped about a game in the first 7 days usually ends in the opposite *cough division cough* 😘 I think you wouldn't give two tits to my view but I'm with @Dan94 and @Shucker on this. As is I think quite a lot more than normal. The spawns I agree with 100%, as do I with a few other points you make, however after one game you cannot make that view for the whole of the game. I think you've just worn put of the CoD style of the game. But the funny thing is, this the most unlike CoD game I can remember and that's why it's the best game they've had in years. TTK is spot on. It no longer feels a game that is all about Twitch, more so about Tactics (this is where I probably lose you 😁). You can't race around and get tons of kills straight away with the health pack model they have, which they've never done before. It really works. It also gives you certain points where a 1v1 gunfight you can actually react and get out of. Admittedly, snipers feel a little OP with OHK but with a few tweaks they'll work pretty well in the long run. Blackout looks very smooth to me and that's hugely different to PUBG imo. They couldve gone further but they didn't and that's a marketing stunt, but hey I'm not gonna knock them for still making a game mode that works and is solidly made. Fortnite is maybe more fun but really now about how much you can cramp your hand into multiple spasms so you can build the most prettiest mansion just to stay safe from bullets. The funniest part of all of this though is I found myself thinking 'This is a little like Rainbow 6' 😂 Yep, our running joke that all games are like, we actually have one! And it's better because of it. More people want tactics and strategy out of games rather than that bullshit twitch nonsense we've always had in CoD. The operators have something different that is so much better than just looking at what grenades to stick on. Pick 10 has always worked well and I think @ChaosGladiator called it out perfectly, that you are feeling like shit because the learning curve at the start is pretty steep, more because the guns are dogpike without the attachments and upgrades. Some we win, some we lose but the gameplay with no jumpy backpacks is really fun. That's what it always boils down to. If we have people playing here then this game is just as fun as Overwatch was back in the day. Compared to many here that were/still are amazingly good at CoD, I am dogshit but I'm having way more fun than previous titles. Tldr. CoD took some best bits out of AAA games and put them together to make a game that is actually fun and not all about Twitch skills anymore. Thank Fuck. P.S. See you online tonight for some corroduty FG party banter 😘

Welcome to FG Wolf! You should tell us abit more about yourself, you in the US like Justin @VGon_BGon48? What other games do you enjoy playing? Hope you enjoy your stay mate, hopefully we'll get to have a few games online and see you on here getting involved 😎

Just buy one. Then you get to play it for 1248163892345 months.

I helped a few people on Destiny last few days as we're trying to get Power Levels up so more people are raid ready. Want to get back on it over the next few days but I'm out Saturday and back late tonight. Maybe Sunday night is available though.

Nice Phil. Greebs, not seeing your time anywhere? Now I've realised I didn't turn on BoP for the first race but now I have, I'll have a look where to find ABS settings aswell. Not gonna try manual gears Phil, I'd love to say maybe in the bear future but it's probably easier for me to just concentrate on getting corners right and having a full clean lap.

Time - 2:22.060 Car - 458 Italia GT3 '13 Much better track and on my 5th lap I've got this. I know with some more time I can easily get this down, just managed to squeeze this out whilst I have the kids on a day off. Good shout Gary to go back and do my driving lessons I hadn't finished, finally dropped a Gr.3 car!

Paul Lambert seems early favourite...good luck with that one.

There's a good chance I'll be late tonight as we're supposed to go as a family to a drive-in film viewing of Ghostbusters. However, we still may decide against if kids aren't up for it. Either way, I'll see you later an hour or two of banter and fun! (Will also give the Red Dead newbies a break from their first day marathon sessions 😎)
