C'mon give the other classes a try. It is fun and just don't horde armor. You can literally put every exotic gear slot with your character that is the same class so you never have to worry.

Is there a livestream for Destiny coming up in like an hour? Heard about one sometime around now.

Looks like
- Dead Orbit Hunter
- New Vanguard set Warlock*
- New Vanguard Set Titan*
- New Vanguard set Hunter *
- FWC Warlock
- New Monarchy Titan
*I'm making this assumption based on the fact that previous promotion art has shown the guardians in their Vanguard armor, and also that we see this armor in the concept art for the new supers pages.
Only people who have all three characters, and have leveled both subclasses, have the credibility to make such a claim.
I'm almost done leveling my second Titan subclass (Defender). She will always be second fiddle to my Hunter.

Summer is my favorite season, but I have never wished for skipping most of summer and wishing it was September more than now.
I know what it is and am familiar with the original. The classes thing reads (to my eyes) as "New player weapon classes" which makes no sense. I see the same numbers as the ones posted in the cleaned up graph. The original is full of old information subject to change at any moment, but it's proven to be right on most of the important counts so far. The original slide is a blurry mess, but I make out the same info as the one posted.
Telling me to "do my homework" about this game would be hilarious if it weren't annoying Kor.

I feel like the changes in HOW seem to imply we will be able to keep our favorite gear forever. We'll just have to ascend it again.
Also, I think we can consider base level remaining at 20 confirmed from that bank of monitors.

Hey there DGAF, I've been lurking for the past couple of weeks since I'm getting back into Destiny from putting it down late last year. I don't have any of the DLC's however I'd like to get into doing the Vault of Glass for the very first time.
Most of my friends have moved on, where can I group up with some VoG Vets to help me along? Any recommendations on leveling up to 30 w/o the DLC. Thanks for the help

Watching the video I notice that the Stalker's super stuns and stops the supers of everyone in PVP.
Also you can fire the bow twice.
For titan, you get three attacks. Instant shoulder charge, hammer melee and hammer AOE throw. You can use hammer twice it seems and enemy body explodes when killed.
Just ask gaf for raids. Also you can get up to lvl 32 with crucible and vanguard marks you get from playing crucible and vanguard missions every week. You'll be done in no time.

Sigh. Some people just don't get it.
Fuck me. I hope I still have that shank burn rocket launcher...You laughed at Bungie for putting shank burn on rocket launchers but who's laughing now?

Anyone want to run PoE lvl 32?

New Player Weapon Classes makes perfect sense.
It's a new Class of Weapon for Player characters.
As opposed to things like the Hive Boomer, Fallen Line Rifle, or Scorch Cannon.
Look, all I'm asking for is if you post that "cleaned up" image, you at least put a disclaimer on your post that the information isn't accurate. Spreading bad information does nothing good for anyone involved.

I believe Hawkian still does raids for people on Thursdays, but he can definitely give you more info on that. What level are you right now?
Also, you can request here whenever you're looking or if you have an advanced time within a few hours or so:
"Looking for VoG Normal Run @ 830 CST
1) Roddslayer
2)
3)
4)

It's so crappy that the exotic class items are locked behind buying editions of the game that I already own (for $80 freakin' dollars).
The Titan one has the double-aquila from Gjallarhorn, for heaven's sake! WANT.

Is your username some kind of threat? Are you trying to kill me?
Sith Lord Warlock in PVP is going to be devasting. In the Bungie video it was racking up the kills.

This game!

I'm surprised you're all so taken with the level/Light level increase. That's all the way down at the very bottomy bottom of my list of things I care about. hehe
Also, keep your eyes fixed on that Super indicator. Nightstalkers get a double super use from a full bar.
I'm thinking there should be a random chance for one with key usage (including on 28). Around the same chances as an Exotic. The Queen's set of weapons are fairly undesirable on the whole, and keys/28s can be found and completed solo respectively, which would make it an (albeit slow and RNG-prone) method of leveling to max as a solo player.
Alternatively, a great addition to the economy would be some manner of Exotic Shard -> Etheric Light conversion.
Additionally, you didn't mention at all in your value analysis that factor that is second most compelling to me: new exotics. TDB and HoW both added a fair handful of new desirable Exotic armor pieces and largely missed the mark on Exotic weaponry altogether. TDB's weapons simply weren't desirable outside of the 4th Horseman and while HoW's are moreso, but locked behind entirely uninspired bounties and multiple RNG gates (though this was improved in the second most recent patch).
The Taken King has an enormous opportunity to simply throw a new slew of "everyday" Exotics into the mix (stuff you can get from Nightfalls, PoE treasure chests, the Lighthouse, and Raid chests/checkpoints). That would reinvigorate me as I sincerely love a bunch of the Exotics in this game and especially enjoy crafting fun combinations of armor and weapon complements. There's massive potential to craft new weapons that interact favorably with old Exotic armor pieces, and new armor pieces that complement the original weapons- and of course, novel uses in both directions for all of the abilities that accompany new subclasses. If Bungie has paid attention to the best loot-drive aspects of their game so far along with the areas in which both expansions fell short, they could really knock it out of the park here before we even get to talking about new content.
Thank you!
Ah, yeah, I'm all over this.

Etheric Light is not so easy to come by for everyone, let alone the average sampling of longitudinal play, so this is a welcome source.

By far the most compelling aspect of The Taken King as a proposed value (for me, of course I should say) is the addition of new subclasses. Because these affect gameplay no matter what you're doing- old or new- they are effectively worth more to me than new content itself. The additional strategic layer afforded by having both a) new subclass/team comp options no matter what classes form a fireteam and b) all three element types available natively regardless of team comp is very exciting for me.

Sure. Unless the adds are bugged, I'm really looking forward to it.

woops, fixed it haha.
Not sure when I should do it though, power leveling through the story will take me 6 hours with some help, then getting him geared and leveling both subclasses is going to take... a long time.
I really want to catch up to my backlog, but if I'm leveling a new class.... I'll never get to play Witcher or Batman

Presumably the expansion that comes with the physical Collectors Edition will be a download code? Preordered it from Game UK

Thank YOU buddy! Pretty easy NF all things considered, gratz on the exotic!
On the topic of base level increasing:
Here we can see an XP gain upon a kill filling up the bar (26 XP; 1:52 in the video)
Furthermore, here we can see a Level 45 Guardian where it is indicated that his base level is 30. Also, look at the text feed, the icon for electrocution kills is badass.
However, here's a level 49 Guardian at base level 20:
Weird. We may yet have some things to learn about Light levels with The Taken King. Seems conclusive, however, that base level will in fact increase to 30.

They're exotic?
Does it really matter? You're just going to wear Dead Orbit for the shader/ship to drop anyway.
