Start this week's discussion thread earlier than usual, because a patch is coming tomorrow at 10am PT which will include NF drop improvement.
DO NOT play NF until after the patch!

Weekly reset thread at Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3pgwib/weekly_reset_thread_20151020/
Nightfall: Dust Palace Modifiers Epic Berserk Small Arms Grounded Chaff No burns and no ultras (for 3ofC), but Small Arms should make things easy. Let's see how "improved" NF rewards can be, so I can decide what priority I should give for completing the Crucible quest line that unlocks weekly bounties (right now very low, because my PvP time is going to Halo and CoD).

Nightstalker Hunter - Temporarily removed the extra shots from Quiver to avoid unlimited Shadowshots - This is a temporary fix, and the node will be restored in a fixed state in an upcoming patch Wait, that's not a fix. That's the opposite of a fix.

I don't drink Red Bull. But it's nice that they negated that nasty gamebreaking glitch
Oh, I played a game of rumble and won it... Every dog has their... Night, I guess

Was it a lobby full of people grinding their Impercation headshots to get their First Curse next week? Because after a few tries I ended up in a lobby where literally all six of us were doing it. Crucible, smh.

NF rewards are indeed improved: almost all the rewards I observed last night are useful to some degree, including:
1) 310 exotics (if you are at 300+ light); 2) 10+ 3ofCs; 3) 300+ ghosts (if you are at 300+ light I guess); 4) 290+ legendary gear or armor, possibly 300+ if you are at 300+ light; (if nothing else, at least they are good for infusing your 280 weapons)

I really really want that high ROF auto rifle with counterbalance and some other stability and range upgrades! Looking at the TTK chart, that thing could be a monster!

The new hakke AR you can order for next week! Arminius-D. It is the only ROF 100 AR in the game right now.

It could be a monster...if pulse rifles didn't shit on ARs in most circumstances, and if shotguns/sidearms didn't shit on ARs in the places where pulses don't. There was a good post on reddit earlier in regards to the Arminius that summed up my thoughts on the current AR situation almost perfectly:
...Gets new AR with good roll... "Hey, this looks good! Let's try it in Crucible." ...Gets a couple kills... "Hey, this IS good!" ...Gets a few more kills... "WOW! This thing is amazing!" ...Gets killed by Red Death... ...Gets killed by Juju... ...Gets killed by Nirwen's... ...Gets killed by Hawksaw... ...Gets killed by Smite... ...Gets killed by Villainy... "Foxtrot ARs, these things suck!"
That more or less happens with every new AR I try out. Still, I'd say Arminius is worth picking up and waiting for a good roll. Sooner or later Bungie is bound to nerf pulses or buff ARs a little more, and then it could be fantastic.

SGA: Armsday Glitch let you get more purchase options on your favorite weapon www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3l5ftv/armsday_orders_reset_glitch/Talking about AutoR: I had some success using Supercell in last week's IB, making me pondering the usefulness of the archetype that resembles the "SMG" weapon class in CoD. It does have a sensitive encounter range that you have to carefully manage, but if done right the game can feel "easy mode". The advantage over PulseR/HC/ScoutR: sustained auto fire, and you can go in and out of ADS without suffering as much penalty. Combine that with aggressive (when you are ahead on DPS) or evasive (when you are behind on DPS) moments, which hip fire with full auto high RoF can let you do a lot easier than the bust/semi-auto, you can outgun these weapon classes at the close to shy-of-mid range. Also, you don't have to worry about lag as much. The advantage over high impact Shotty: as long as you are outside of OHK you are in good shape. Just combine bullet hosing with back paddle; I did have trouble dealing with full auto shotty like Invective and 4th Horseman. Pretty much have no chance if the opponent closes the gap. Thinking retrospectively, I probably should have switched to my Conspiracy Theory-D in these situations. Supercell's "Persistence" Perk seems to be pretty important during my game play, as I feel the longer I fire the easier I can land headshots. I hardly lose 1-on-1 primary face-to-face gunfights when using this weapon.

AR's are still pretty decent for me. I think/hope they have some place in 3v3 game modes. They are great for teamshotting together with a pulse and auto. For the constant damage and flinch.
Also, I suck so hard with pulses, I am still doing better with an auto. Combined with a sniper I do Okayish. Just don't even think about engaging in mid range.

This week's BWU is here: www.bungie.net/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update---10222015/en/News/News?aid=13797Highlights: 1) "Big" update 2.0.2 will land in November, likely right before Thanksgiving; 2) Bungie acknowledged that they screwed up badly on IB drops last week, and vows to fix it by the next one; 3) Will address a few bounty related issues: too hard to complete, demand too much carnage, put too much requirement on other players; 4) Revamp the Crucible quest line to a) shorter, b) completing matches -> progress in most cases, c) can complete multiple at once; 5) ToO back on 10/30; 6) What HM raid feels like: "upset your NM rhythm, one more plate to spin, make you think on your feet";

There is hope.

Nothin wrong with 10 3oC imho. That is at least one exotic right there! Or am I the only one who is "short" on coins? (still have plenty, but don't have more than 50 or so)

IMHO the 3ofCs are one of the best drops.
Nowadays I only spend stange coins on 3ofCs, so 10 3ofC = 14 SC. That is pretty generous since SC production rate is significantly lower than before.
Once players reach 310, I am hoping the exotic engrams will start producing 310+ exotics.

No, it's not... But 3oC's can be bought... If you're over 300 where you can get 300+ drops, sure.
But when you're 29_ , a 30_ item is probably more valuable

Regarding Xur: he is selling exotic chest engrams and legendary heavy engrams (I am not even gonna bother posting what exotic armors he is selling. Huge waste of SCs IMHO so strongly recommend against buying them).

Really?
The SoDA can't be got as an engram, so that's not too bad Chest engram is a nice change from helms.
Its a decent xur week
