Here's hoping. That shell had a good def boost.

Well fuck. I wanted that mad max font looking one.
Thankfully that means the deer skeleton for the iron banner is easier.

So does the new light system affect current content like the PoE35 or is it still the same 30% damage down/up?

It is not the old system. But we don't know the exact numbers of the new system.

GAF.... fuck it... I am going back to Destiny.
This game was a huge disappointment for me when it first came out. I shelved it for a whole year because of life and work commitments.
But I have decided to give it another go. Starting from tomorrow, I will install the new update and will try to do as much as i can from year 1 quests.
Update: Welp.... I've just logged into bungie.net and found out that I have a level 12 TITAN character .... am I already dead ?
Any gaffers out there with similar character level wants to co-op with me ? UK people would be preferable

Thank you kind sir.
While not in-game, I'm pretty sure there's Destiny apps available that allow you to create loadouts that can grab gear from the Vault, for example, and throw them onto your selected character.

No youre not. Pre order ttk and you get a token to level up a character to 25 and get some neat guns. And if you dont, the crucible is free xp to lvl 34.
Also, what system you on?

It it a one off token and is it pre order only?
Have they issued out these tokens yet or do we have to wait for TTK to drop? Thinking about changing my Warlock to another Titan since I'm not feeling that class and haven't even completed TDB missions on her.
I'd never recommend to have two of the same classes and to keep all three but I am biased because Warlock is my favorite class.
Fruit of the garden gives you a legendary version of the strangers rifle, and the class ones give you sexy emblems.
I'd still say its worth waiting.

You will get when the ttk hits.
I believe its one off and not sure if its a pre order only. Its more likely a legendary edition thing but i need more research.
No problem.I play on PS4 .
Thanks for the info

Agreed. I read somewhere that each of the classes will have their own quest line (possibly to unlock each one's new subclass?), but we shall see.
Here we go:
In the old system, only a level 33 or 34 could do level 35 content.
In the new system a 148 and up could do 168 content.
Again this gives more freedom.
Also, I'm not 100% on those number as we don't know how damage drop offs work yet, but you get the idea.
This isn't entirely true, the current system already takes every point of light into account. If you're 33.5, you take deal/take more/less damage than at 33.0.
Old system: You must be at least Total Light X to do Content Y.
New system: You must be at least Total Light X to do Content Y.
What they have changed is spreading your 'light level' across all of your gear, instead of just armor. This either gives you a bit more leeway to carry a subpar item or requires you upgrade more items to reach a given threshold, depending on your viewpoint.
I actually think this change is pretty funny, I see people hailing it as some great change, when really it's just an adjustment to the existing (poorly understood) system.
With my titan, the game sent me to see Eris as soon as I started. She then gave me a murmur again only this time it's a lvl10 one, my lvl20 one is in my vault.
I have started the game with all three but only my titan was given the quest to complete the Eris bounty, which I had already done.
It's also completing a lot of bounties hanging over from poe, I had 5001000 on my warlock for boss kills, that completed when I updated, my hunter had the bounty to get the Queens cipher, that also completed even without doing the boss kills, so got 2 dregs sidearm for free.

Nope. If you were missing 1 Light to reach level 34, you were level 33. Not 33.9. Meaning that single bit of light you were missing placed you a level under a 34 activity, meaning you had a 33% damage penalty.
don't do it heathen

Only thing I can think of is if you did not complete the first quest where you get your ship.
I know that, but every point of light between 33 and 34 has an impact - that's already part of the game. That chart implies it makes no difference if you're at any inbetween state, which isn't true.
We also have no idea what the penalties for being below the 'new' light thresholds will be, it could be the exact same penalty just 'smoothed' across the range (ie, you can do the raid or whatever at light 240, but until you're 260, you're suffering a penalty).
It's tricky. You want to kill at least 2 Tier 2 Majors in one hit.
Tier 1 enemies are the lowest, like Thralls and Dregs and Goblins. What you want are Tier 2: Knights, Captains or Minotaurs. Major = yellow bar. Your Nova Bomb won't kill these things immediately, you need to soften them up.
Undying Mind is a great strike to do this. If you're new to the game though, this quest is rather advanced and might require you to get a little help.
They made no difference. Light itself was completely discrete, only affecting your damage output and intake when you moved up a level.
You can't try it out anymore because the system changed but I 100% guarantee you. If you were missing 10 Light to level up or 1 Light, you did the exact same damage. Getting closer to a new level did exactly nothing.
Damage intake changed ever so slightly due to armor's defense rating scaling with Light, but this was incredibly marginal. Missing 10 Light or 1 Light = 33% more damage taken. The progress made in getting closer to your next level was impossible to discern. Any enemy which could kill you with 2 shots when you reached level ____ would still do so until you actually moved to the next level.
I bought one for my girlfriend's daughter for her Bday. She gonna be hype. Destiny is her favorite thing ever and she doesn't even have her own machine to play it on. (I'll be hyped too....no more sharing)

Oh man, those Collections are SO good. Get/buy a ship, shader, sparrow or emblem and it's now free forever for all your characters. No more swapping that Timebreaker Sparrow between classes when the other two can just get their own now. No more paying 5,000 for another Imogen's Fire. And so on.
And those shaders/emblem terminals by Levante...damn. I spent an embarrassing amount of money at her shop yesterday and today just to fill out a collection of stuff, some of which will probably never be equipped on anyone. The "gotta catch 'em all" mentality is definitely in play here.
(Side note: I had no idea Holliday sold so many different ships. Something to work on if you're perpetually hitting the Glimmer cap, I guess.)

I definitely have my ship and did that mission.

I never put much thought into exclusive content when I was on the 360 since I rarely played CoD, but damn I find it annoying now.

Sure am glad I get to go back to Venus for the zillionth time in an area that looks identical to what came out when the game first launched.
As soon as I was getting excited for this DLC, I see this shit.
