Weapons
Fixed an issue in which Vex Mythoclast was not respawning with primary ammunition
I'm hoping this is the one where the Mythoclast turns into a normal Fusion Rifle with charge time etc. that was annyoing as fuck in IB and usually last a full match.
A little disappointed the crucible changes doesn't take effect until tuesday.
I'll believe that when I see it, for example - how many times were we told that the new maps would be included in Iron Banner now? I think its 6, they are still not in.

Removed an errant buff from Iron Banner Control playlist
Etheric Light will now be available at Ranks 3 and 5 in Iron Banner
Tower
The Cryptarch will no longer convert newly acquired Legendary Engrams to Shards (possibilities include gear/weapons or exotics)

User Interface
The Control UI above the mini scoreboard has been fixed & returned to the players HUD

The following is a preview of changes that will take effect on May 19th, 2015 on or soon after 10AM PST with the manual activation of House of Wolves.

You'll most likely receive the Dark Below base damage stat if you finish the bounty now - not sure what damage Exotics would begin from come Tuesday, but I'd assume it would be the 331 base, like the other items we've been seeing.
But, I think if you finish it now and work on fully upgrading it between now and Tuesday, when HoW drops you'll be able to ascend it to the new max if you have an exotic shard (someone can correct me if I'm wrong.)
Question about exotic bounties: If I finish Bad Juju now, will I get the upgraded version or the base? And should I wait to finish it until Tuesday?
You'll get a 331 Bad Juju that requires leveling (if that's what you mean).
I get the feeling 365 gear will always require Etheric Light, so you might as well finish it.
That's what I was hoping for, the 331 version. Right now I have a "pre-Dark Below" Red Death, which would require a shard to upgrade to 331, which I don't want to spend. I'd rather finish Juju and get that.

Awesome. This should help with Etheric Light too. Quickly getting to Rank 3 on all characters shouldn't be bad at all.
Can anybody explain how exactly the gear scaling/normalization works in Crucible matches? Is my legendary auto-rifle going to do more damage than my rare auto-rifle? What about my "vanilla" level rare pulse rifle compared to an Expansion 1 pulse rifle? What if one is fully upgraded but the other isn't?

Definitely bring a good arc shotgun if you have one for the Queen's Wrath bounties. These patrol captains are no joke.
Are you the magic man?

Ignore the Attack rating. All that matters are the white bars (impact, range, stability, etc. and the unlockable perks). Everyone has the same heath/shields so your defense value doesn't matter either. In your class skill selection the armor, recovery, agility do matter.

Lots of nice changes in those patches; no more shards for Legendaries, more Iron Baby Bounties...
But are we still tied to crucible marks to purchase faction gear?
Bought An Insurmountable Skullfort today, which is my first exotic. Really excited about the looks but I read some reviews after the fact and I slightly regret it.
Also picked up Don't Touch Me through an exotic engram, which is delicious.

The skullfort looks awesome, which is the most important attribute.

That wraps up my Xbox One collection o' Exotics!
(Right in time for HoW I suppose....)
Thanks Xur! You've been looking out for me recently. I can only imagine it's time to sell Sunbreakers again.
Petra's back in the Tower.
Queen's Wrath all up in there, apparently.
I'll believe that when I see it, for example - how many times were we told that the new maps would be included in Iron Banner now? I think its 6, they are still not in.

The Fallen have invaded and the Queen's Emissary has come to the tower to call forth Guardians willing to answer the Queen's Call to Hunt.
My Warlock, in the Queen's Colors, will be busy this weekend.

But yeah, having Transfusion always on isn't great, but it does indeed look cool.
noooooooooooooooooo
congrats on don't touch me now you can solo the first part of the crota raid on your hunter

utterly useless and beautiful
Whereas No Backup Plans are all kinds of boss in their holographic goodness. And the visual even seems to match the special ability.
I love skullfort during the Crota fight. So, I would say niche useful and beautiful.
Time Zone: Eastern
i don't entirely disagree
No Backup Plans always looked too skinny to me. Like they suction your arms so tight that a Titan looks like a baby Hunter.
You have my Gjhallahorn!!!
Provided that you are on Ps4
Right now, yeah, it's a public event and there are A LOT of people doing them.
Screw Gjallarhorn, get out your Thunderlords, Guardians.
