Hakke Pulse Rifles shoot four bursts instead of 3.
New Marks. Replacing Vanguard/Crucible marks.
Class Specific armor upgrade items are being replaced with a singular Armor Material. Thank freaking god.
You have to pledge allegiance to a faction to gain reputation. You no longer have to wear their class items for rep. You can if you want but it's for those who don't like their looks. You can only pledge yourself to one at a time.
- auto rifle that shoots blast of chain lightning
- a sniper that blinds nearby enemies on precision hit
- Pulse Rifle called No Time To Explain
-exotics come with an intrinsic perk upon acquisition
- many are tied to involved quest lines
- one such quest line has you explore the Dreadnaught and looking for hidden pieces sorta like Dead Ghost Hunting.
-Sleeper Simulant, a fusion rifle that takes up heavy slot. Quest Line exotic.
The new exotic shown in the issue is a fusion rifle that takes up your heavy slot. It's like a rail cannon. It's dedicated to a quest line. It's called Sleeper Simulant.
Putting the info behind spoilers for those on a blackout
-Sunbreakers Titans are considered a rogue mercenary clan
-you head to Venus for the first step in tracking their whereabouts

Again, I'm putting this behind spoilers:

-you'll come across a marauding group of cabal and their crashed ship as you infiltrate the Dreadnaught

-new post story missions
- many around an event called the Taken War.
-difficulty is ramped up for these
-one such mission takes you into the Vault
-you'll learn more about Praedyth.
-new strikes have "raid-light" (their word not mine) mechanics to keep things mentally engaging
- more enemies to match the increased firepower of high level guardians
-strike encounters alter enemy configurations on subsequent playthroughs between two or three potential fights
-can even face different enemy species

Spoilers ahead:
-new strike called Fallen Saber
-takes you back to Earth in response to a distress call from Rasputin
-takes you deep into the Seraph Vault
-you've seen the strike boss already, it's the big ass shank in the vidoc
- The Shield Brother Strike takes you to the Dreadnaught
-two cabal leaders aim to blow the Dreadnaught up with you on board (I say let them while we run out)
-one has a devastating melee attack
-the other uses a mortar cannon strapped to back
- you fight both at the same time
-The Sunless Cell is a Hive Strike
-you hunt down the Hive Darkblade named Alak-Hul
- he was imprisoned in a dark chamber for rebelling against Oryx
-Echo Chamber is the Playstation exclusive strike
-you head to Venus and hunt down the Restoractive Mind
-it seeks to revive the Nexus Mind we destroyed in the Nexus strike
-completely shielded.
-Only able to harm it after using a specific item to take down its shield
-regularly need to cover in order to dodge a devastating gaze attack
The lack of Boguester commentary is killing me.
I guess there is no point hokding onto all this etheric light then or hoarding non raid legendaries

Honestly, whichever is cheaper overall, I think you get the same content.(unless you are hell bent on getting that strange coin or 3 emotes) I am personally just buying the digital version for easier use (I think if you buy the physical, it just has the base game on the disc and codes for the other DLC's, maybe I'm wrong)
Thanks for thisPutting it all in one place for those who don't want to go back pages:
read the GI article...pretty good 8 PVP is surprising...
does anyone know if DLC 1 is required to play TTK??????
So the only thing to do between now and 9/15 is hoard exotics?
And.. Play for the fun of it of course.
Doing away w/ class specific armor materials in favor of one generic material used for all three is just the best thing.
How dare you. This game is an exercise in masochism and you know it.

Yeah. That whole hopscotch pilgrim pilgrimage. Nice.
We are enabling hard mode the night of September 15th and going through the content. Prepare yourself.
I really curious to hear how the new Ghost sounds like.
My god if they do all this for their first real expansion, I absolutely can't wait to see what Destiny 2 will end up being like.
Taken King will explode. Haters can't hate anymore now that Bungie is doing a lot of things right with it.
NFx3 anyone? Just join up.
That was literally the worst.Until I throw money at Sony to open it.
I start school that Tuesday anyway so i wont have time to play.
Also, I don't have fond memories of low gravity from Halo Reach...
Really?In game grimiore accessible via ghost
I'll be back on in 10 min. Just finishing lunch. PSN is V1ctIm.Anyone want to do VOG hard? Need 4 more.
if it helps, I don't like some of these changesI'm personally just happy to see Destiny Gaf nearly universally happy about something for once.

They pretty much universally represent the expressed desires of the community though, it does follow that people should be nearly universally happy.
They should have gotten the actor for sully instead.
"Goddammit Guardian down!"
"We've awoken the goddamn hive!"
"That goddamn wizard came from the goddamn moon!"
