After searching some more, it seems Bungie has not put something in place for this:

I can find every other kiosk and promotional item, just not one for ghosts. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait.

probably been asked but what do i do with the ready tested weapons? Do i just keep them until, some random day? I can't even stash them in the vault.
I haven't had much time to run around but so far the changes look real nice. Getting excited to play it regularly again. Quick question that may have been covered - the shader/emblem vaults are awesome to help with space, are ships still the same as before or did I totally miss something similar?
Realizing I should probably run over to the hangar when I get back on, which may answer my own question.

Should I wait until the 15th to remake my Warlock or am I not missing out on anything if I do it now?

Still downloading the patch with a 100Mb connection. Almost a full day now.
Looking at the patch notes it's hilarious how they murdered just about every weapon perk on the game. If you don't get Taken King you're straight up weaker than you were pre patch. Unless you're one of those goobers who use auto rifles in pve

You can do it now if you want to experience Nolanbot. It's the same as the 15th.
Edit: Whoops apologies for doublepost.

The Taken are very much NOT a Hive subset.
I'm trying to think of the best way to describe them. You know how in Halo you had Regular Elites? Like ones that ran around with plasma rifles? And then later on you found Special Elites that had swords? It's kind of like that. Every enemy in the game now has a Taken version that acts different than their regular version, and comes with a unique ability.
For instance: a Cabal Psion that has been Taken are called Gremlins. Gremlins have the ability to focus and literally split into two identical units. If left alone, they will multiply into swarms. https://i.imgur.com/NDQMZaf.png
Another Example is the Cabal Phalanx. This unit likes to keep it's distance and has a sort of "force-push" attack that it launches out of it's shield hole thing. https://i.imgur.com/HTQHTLN.png
Taken Dregs have a Ward of Dawn like ability but they can shoot out of their dark bubbles. https://i.imgur.com/repttS1.png
Vex Goblins have some sort of Energy share ability: https://i.imgur.com/9XpTkJ8.png
What makes this special is that up until now, you would never fight a Fallen Captain with a Vex Hobgoblin. You'd only find Fallen units with other Fallen units, Vex with Vex, etc...
Now, all 20 different enemy types can be combined into encounters. This combined with the fact that Bungie has included dynamic spawning (so that you wont see the same enemies in a strike every time), there is a much wider variety of enemies now.
Edit: This is an old Reddit thread that was trying to collaborate all the information on the Taken. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3a342f/meet_the_enemies_of_the_taken/

Just talk to any of the 3 faction representatives. You can only do it once a week, so if you pick one you're stuck with it.
Go up to one of the three faction NPCs and talk to them. They will ask you to pledge to them for 10k. Remember, you can only pledge once a week.
Whoof, got a lot of work ahead of me, then. Thanks!

What about new armor, weapons and the smart loot system, are those implemented yet? It would be nice to be able to play with some blues and greens this time around.You can do it now if you want to experience Nolanbot. It's the same as the 15th.
Edit: Whoops apologies for doublepost.
Ah! cheers!
Not played since launch. Guessing these expansion faction reps are earned through other means instead of rep'n them.
I'm guessing they'll stock new gear come Taken King?

Yes. You no longer have to wear a class item to rep your faction. Now you just make a weekly pledge.
Don't bother. Etheric light is a dead currency according to bungie. Plus ToO and IB gone for the time being. All year one weapons that used it basically not needed after the 14th. i wouldn't worry if you dont have any.
I on the other hand was capped and don't remember that the last time I played. Although glimmer did seem way easier once the Queen showed back up.

I had an exotic bounty for Pocket Infinity that was unfinished and when I downloaded the update the game just gave me the gun. Was weird.

Probably covered, but is anyone else holding off on the various quests sitting at the quest board that have you replaying the entire story? I figure in TTK you level up by gaining experience and once you have your new subclass unlocked you'll likely need a ton of experience to upgrade it as well. My fireteam and I began running the story missions for one character and got up to to the first mission back in the Cosmodrone to get the ship part when we figured out we should stop.
So... are we missing something, or is it really best to just wait until next week?

Wait I suppose but I'm doing the subclass quests just because the rewards are some nice new emblems for my Warlock.

Just how far you are in the quest. IE if it's 9 your on the 9th step/quest/mission.

Gotcha. The new progression list is a nice touch.
I'm personally waiting because that's a ton of free experience just waiting to be used towards leveling up your character level, as well as unlocking upgrades to your subclass.
Yes. $60 equals base game>ep1>ep2>tk.

Probably, but not one we seem to know the answer to yet.

I think it's just a temporary anomaly in the post 2.0/preTTK environment.

I believe it was timed and it was awarded for a doing a Daily Heroic mission or specific story mission to get it.

Yep. Legendary Edition pre-orders unlock Destiny 2.0, Dark Below, and House of Wolves immediately. Only thing you don't get right away is TTK weapons/armor/missions/etc, which will all be unlocked on the 15th.

I don't think I could beat Skolas before TTK drops. That's all I need to complete my year one triumphs.

25 what? Level?
Meh... it's up to you. I'd recommend against it, because it will mess with the flow of things with the new quest system.
Instead, I'd say wait and use it for a 2nd character when the time comes.

The game is throwing XP at us at this point. Pick a method.
The way the game is throwing out XP kind of confirms my fears about this "new" leveling system.
We'll all be 40 within a day of TTK release, and won't be able to do hard stuff like the raid until we get certain drops that raise our light level.
Despite all the talk, it really is the EXACT same system with a different way to count. Sigh.
The issue is not that you need to level to do higher end stuff, is that you stop leveling in the traditional sense and you become dependant on drops. Meaning the time you put in is completely random and could mean nothing.
FFS, just make the level cap 80 or 100 and do away with this light nonsense.

question: Was the item that boost a low level guardian released with the patch or is it on the 15th
was too sleepy last night so not sure if I used it by mistake or it was not there

It's not like getting good gear is hard. It's been easy as hell since HoW and now with infusion it'll be even easier in regards to under leveled gear you want to upgrade. Guaranteed gear from venders is a thing too. Rng has been updated. Light system has been dramatically updated. Vanilla destiny this is not.
15th
