    DIM and tower ghost both could but not with Bungie's Servers still down.

    Unfortunately not. The API is usually down for a while after these sorts of updates.

    Yea and add in that after the year change updates they are usually kinda borked for a while with the changes to item ID or such that Bungie makes.

    Gah, with all the hype on Crows Eye I wanted to see if mine was any good. I haven't played with Sidearms much in PVP recently, and I can't even recall what my roll was. I'm going to pretend it was Variks' way of apologizing for never giving me a Soulstealers.

    Patched up and...waiting for servers. Bleh. Also, where do I get Crows Eye again? :P

    IDK, I'm kind of skeptical of how much of a difference the would really make in practice.

    Like, some weapons are good when one hones their usage and adapts to their strengths, and some weapons are good because the barriers to maximize their performance are just low? I do not think that the latter has happened with the sidearm buff.

    I'm curious as to how they've achieved a faster firing class of Sidearm.

    How much more pew-pew could you even fit inside a gun?

    Maintenance extended 2 hrs

    @Grifter
    That puts the maintenance ending an hour after raid time, which puts it at 2am for me... so I'm gonna have to bow out :(

    Part of me really wants to believe that they would not rebalance things so that one single gun has a TTK a full 0.1 sec less than any other gun available.

    The other part of me knows they would totally botch something like that.

    Are you talking about sidearms? Remember they are competing with Snipers and shotguns that have a ttk of pulling the trigger in certain applications. Fusion rifles wait a bit, but also, with the right fusion, ohko.

    They need a faster TTK in their specific range than Primary because otherwise theres no reason to switch to them.

    @Forever Zefiro @Local H Jay Pretty sure I'm going to be running with NATburn at launch on raid day, which means at the very least my spot on Teamerino is going to need a fill in for Friday evening.
    We'll be driving home from vacation (8+ hours) Saturday, so a late night raid is a no go for me day one.

    Good news/bad news. Booker successfully got his day off so AFAIK NATBurn is full for Friday. But that means your spot in Teamarino doesn't need a replacement.

    Jay! Huzzah!
    Like Custom Special mentioned, some folks from Teamarino will be trying to put 1 (or hell, maybe 2 if it needs to go down like that) groups together for Day 1/Blind Raid shenanigans. Me and my usual bros (Scalpahawk, Drakhar) are going to be taking the day off to try and get a run in as soon as the doors open. But that's still a tentative plan until we have a full fire team. Custom Special has a spot in our hearts, but there is more spots open.

    This also goes for I suppose any general XB1 Guardians interested in a Day 1 (probably bleed into Day 2+) blind raid. Long as folks are down with absolutely no spoilers until we get a run under the belt, we'd love to have anyone interested who doesn't have a group already lined up!

    The Greg giveth:
    Reduced spread angle penalty on Shotguns with the perk Full Auto, Invective was not affected

    The Greg taketh away:
    Exotic Perk range bonus reduced by 75% (no longer guarantees maximum shotgun range)

    I did not ask for this. But I am ready. To each and every guardian who ever complained about the Universal Remote: Git Gud, nerfs won't save you.

    Cool. I am down, still trying to see if I can get the whole day off but I am just gonna plan for an afternoon raid. Maybe put up a 100 group so we can start planning it out?

    Does the100 even list the new Raid? Whatever! I'll create a faux-King's Fall raid or some such to at least get names and discussion going, alternates, etc. That way we can start building out groups, and if more than one gets fielded, then the more the merrier!
