Well done Bungie. I like what I saw.

 

[nowai]

Wait what. >_>

Hype. On Bill's back.

 

[darknil]

So basically I'll be trying to complete my triumphs and max my marks on my 2 characters so I can buy my new exotics on day 1 (but not being able to equip them until level 40)

I want to know what is going to happen to the current endgame activitieeees.

 

[stb]

So did we get an answer about why I shouldn't dismantle Year 1 Legendaries?

Yes.

Dismantling them now gives you weapon parts and glimmer.

Dismantling them 9/15 gives you weapon parts, glimmer, and legendary marks.

Edit: SO late.

So did we get an answer about why I shouldn't dismantle Year 1 Legendaries?

They go through your inventory to determine what gear combinations give you the best possible level when the update drops

 

[zewone]

Is the stream still going? Is there any where I can read a recap of all of it? I'm at work and can't watch videos! D: GAF help!

Light Level is an average of your Attack and Defense across all equipped items (including Ghost Shells)

UI Tooltips on the stats (Strength/Intellect/Discipline) are now updated, show actual cooldown times

Quest Tab - Up to 32 in total

Warlock Subclass "Stormcaller" Questline

Spark of Light new consumable - 1 per TTK Purchase Boosts you up to level 25 - The minimum for The Taken King.

New Item limits or glitch/testing? Glimmer still at 25,000

Vault Space to be talked about later on

How to acquire Ghost Shells?

Let's go see the updated speaker!

Class Items no longer vanity items, actually help character become more powerful. like this

Ghosts specialise in collecting things on patrol i.e. Detects resources The spirit Bloom sensor

Collections keep track of what you've acquired (and what you haven't) over time, and stores them. Emblems, ships, shaders etc.

Rep changes for factions - Pledge allegiance to each faction vendor, each time you gain rep for Vanguard/Crucible will earn you faction rep AS WELL!

Year 1 Rep Carries Forward!

Can only change allegiance once a week.

Perks have been changed up on the armour, offering choices that you'll have to make. Do you want to be reactive or proactive?

Solar burn skull perk - Reduces the effect of a burn on you. Useful for Solar Burn Nightfalls!

New Monarchy Machine Gun

Better rep packages! Guaranteed Legendary. Higher shader drop rates.

Once a shader has dropped, will be taken out of the pool, therefore more likely to complete the set!

Vault space issue deflected again. I'm guessing there's something good (clack)

Vanguard and crucible marks have been converted to legendary marks

Lord Shaxx has quests for you - PvP quests from level 5.

Weekly Crucible Bounties. If you complete all 5 weekly bounties, you get Nightfall Tier Rewards.

Increased Glimmer from guardian kills! That's a legendary Ghost Shell from PvP

Going back to legendary marks - They are shared across characters. No limit on how many you can earn in a week!

Crucible/Vanguard marks are being cashed in to Commendations. Available on September 15th from your local postmaster.

When you get a legendary item you can shard it to generate legendary marks. Honest! No more motes of light > (Demo failed - Pitchforks ready guys! ----E)

Crucible Weekly Bounties also available from the Crucible Quartermaster

Crucible Legendary MG

VAULT SPACE TIME CONTINUUM. Just kidding

Exotic Blueprint time!

Exotic blueprints allow you to regain anything you might've lost or sharded or your girlfriend has broken up with you and thinks it's really funny to dismantle all your shit... Anyway moving on...

Account Wide Exotic Sharing via exotic Blueprints!

Some year 1 exotics have been upgraded for year 2 guys, costing some legendary marks

Exotic perks now unlocked from the get-go, you can enjoy it right away

New perk increasing super energy with Heavy Weapon kills

Only some exotics will be getting upgraded for Year 2

DARTH SUROS YO

Attack values on year 1 weapons has changed. All values have been brought in line with each other (attack and defense). You have not lost any effectiveness though

Vault space. Not yet. There's a riot goin on down in Bung-ee HQ

Cryptarch will sell legendary engrams that won't turn into shards, for Legendary Marks.

Cryptarch rep carries forward, as everything else rep-wise.

Gunsmith time! Field Test Weapons, similar to weapon bounties

Can gain rep with gunsmith now. i.e. completing quests or using the field test weapons

Gaining rep/rank allows you to choose Armsday Orders which will grant you a new gun every Wednesday, a day after Reset.

Armsday available from Rank 1 Gunsmith onwards. Every week there will be a new set of weapons available.

Here's an example of what you could be receiving come armsday

Infusion is replacing the ascension system.

Infusion keeps weapons current by consuming other weapons.

Infusion is available for all year 2 legendary/exotic weapons/armour pieces.

VAULT TIME

VAULT SPACE VAULT SPACE VAULT SPACE VAULT SPACE VAULT SPACE VAULT SPACE VAULT SPACE

DOUBLED VAULT SPACE. AND THE CROWD GOES WILD

Over doubled vault space for armour slots.

There are now pages relating to what you can store in the vault. i.e. General, Weapons & armour.

It's closin' time. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.

 

[Juraash]

This was all super positive overall and I'm very pleased with it. I wonder if we'll see more y1 exotics make it to y2 as we progress. I'd like to see a full transmog system, but infusion as it is now is a pretty good start.

I'd like to see a list of what exotics are coming be out out before hand, but it seems like a lot of favorites are coming with to start. Now I really hope I snag a Hawkmoon at some point since I think we saw that icon in the trailer.

So now I have a clear path for the next month or so. Hit 34, improve my faction reps and pick up some cool exotics.

 

[phen0m24]

That hammer time dance tho...

[OkayRene]

If you break them down during TTK you get Legendary Marks

If you wait until 9/15 you'll get marks for them is the only reason, I believe.

You can break down legendaries for legendary marks now.

Ah thanks!

 

[17 Seconds]

i mean 200 limit



what if i don't wanna spend them for that week on some garbage but i wanna keep grinding?

you guys seem satisfied with it so whatever

It looked like there is a ton of stuff you can use marks on, so it seems like you'll always have a viable option to spend them on.

 

[Silvard]

So, is Xur going to sell useless Year 1 exotics or will those not be sold any more?

 

[123rl]

Why are people complaining about the Marks cap being too low? You can hold 200 but they said you can earn as many as you like in a week. It works like Glimmer now. That's so much better than having a cap

 

[Goodacre0081]

That's what I got out of it. Only some exotics can be upgraded. The others will stay at their current attack level and basically just become collector's items.

those will still viable in the old Raids, PoE and regular Crucible.

 

[rNilla]

2 Legit 2 Shard

 

[Navy Bean]

i mean 200 limit



what if i don't wanna spend them for that week on some garbage but i wanna keep grinding?

you guys seem satisfied with it so whatever

I agree with you - the 200 mark wallet limit will end up being a real hassle.

 

[OkayRene]

So then I'm guessing most people will be using the Vault to hold Year 1 raid gear mostly since I don't remember seeing a Kiosk for legendary gear, right?

 

[AmateurHour212]

Marks aren't capped. Just the amount you can hold at one time. So when you hit 200, you spend it on something and then go back out and refill. There is no 100 per week cap. I think it's a good system.

 

[Kojirospath]

So did we get an answer about why I shouldn't dismantle Year 1 Legendaries?

Your level will based on your vault gear. Basically shard everything that's not max light and no point in keeping extra stuff. I'm going on a sharding spree now

 

[Subtervotion]

Me too *fist bump*

*fist bump*

I'm ready for that new S U R O S R E G I M E .

 

[Anastasis]

Yes!

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Reforging is out. Totally makes sense. Really made balancing weapons impossible when certain combos were so far out of line with the rest of weapons in that class.

Nope. It's still in. At least on the weapons Deej had equipped, but they looked like HoW ones.

 

[Kukawaki]

Why does the 200 limit matter if they aren't capped weekly?

Because things still cost an odd amount and I can't buy two things at the same time because reasons.

 

[Xando]

Wanna get back into Destiny (PS4). I've bought the US version at release, do i have to buy DLC with the US account or can i buy it with my german account?

 

[HawksWinStanley]

those will still viable in the old Raids, PoE and regular Crucible.

True, good call.

 

[xplicitone]

That gave me more than what I want to see, but now I'm hyped more than ever.

 

[Tecnniqe]

I wish rep would be account wide. Only reason ive yet to play another class

 

[ocean]

Destiny |OT♦29| Twice the price, double the Vault.

Sold

200 mark cap ain't bad considering no weekly cap. So good. Exotic blueprint so good. Shader emblem collections are fire. Bounties quests PvP NF rewards improved faction generosity no dupe shaders YEA!

But what a goddamn shame about year 1 Exotics. No Saint-14 would break my heart. No Ice Breaker?

 

[MostWantedZero]

I can finally be Squall in Destiny?!

[LiK]

man, wasted so much time on reforging and i guess Year 2 guns won't even have it. RIP to the OP Pulses and Scouts

*fist bump*

I'm ready for that new S U R O S R E G I M E .

i guess i can finally go back to using a Regime.

 

[Nuszka]

Flawless thats all i have to say.

 

[Doctor West]

Why are some exotics behind left behind and which ones are they? That pisses me off. I thought they were all being brought over. I now have to grind for marks to re-purchase the ones I already have and they are going to have different perks that I have to upgrade?

 

[Lee]

I agree with you - the 200 mark wallet limit will end up being a real hassle.

Xbox 360s can't process more than 200 marks, unfortunately.

/s

 

[X-Frame]

I think the biggest negative news is that not all exotics are going to Year 2. That includes armor as well.

What will I do if Saint-14 is not going to Year 2? It is the best Titan exotic.

 

[17 Seconds]

Because things still cost an odd amount and I can't buy two things at the same time because reasons.

I don't understand what you're saying.

 

[GutZ31]

Destiny |OT♦29| The Doubled Vault

 

[LordofPwn]

Can we all talk about that Akira Destiny shirt and where i can get a poster of that? like seriously

 

[Goodacre0081]

wow, Legendary Strangers Rife?

True, good call.

not to mention people who only play Vanilla or Expansion 1/2

 

[zewone]

Why are some exotics behind left behind and which ones are they? That pisses me off. I thought they were all being brought over. I now have to grind for marks to re-purchase the ones I already have and they are going to have different perks that I have to upgrade?

Some are being left behind to be brought back later with new/remixed perks and looks.

Eventually more will be brought is the impression they gave.

 

[JohnOfMars]

Nope. It's still in. At least on the weapons Deej had equipped, but they looked like HoW ones.

The ones that have "Infusion" as a perk don't have a reforge symbol and I didn't see the Gunsmith have that option.

 

[ocean]

Still good for Crucinle which is where most re rolls were grounded for

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Hey, cool.

@tripleWRECK
I am going to be playing in a #Destiny #TheTakenKing Rift tournament livestream this Saturday hosted by @Bungie and @redbullESPORTS!!!

 

[LiK]

I think the biggest negative news is that not all exotics are going to Year 2. That includes armor as well.

What will I do if Saint-14 is not going to Year 2? It is the best Titan exotic.

maybe we'll get a new version that looks better.

 

[FyreWulff]

I mean the actual hash of having that number tick from 200 to 201. Just like their Vault space 'oh last gen consoles can't process more vault space', some inane bug probably prevents them from having any higher a number.

Or something. I dunno.

It's a design old as gaming itself. You have a cap but let people earn up a wallet limit, this encourages players to actually buy things in the world and spend them without feeling like they'll get screwed over.

You can also uncap currency, but to balance that you usually need to inflate the cost of everything in the game to account for it.

 

[17 Seconds]

man, wasted so much time on reforging and i guess Year 2 guns won't even have it. RIP to the OP Pulses and Scouts

Why would the weapons you've already reforged not be vialbe in PvP?

 

[zewone]

Screencap? I didn't see it.

 

[GutZ31]

I saw that right away and was like WANT. NOW!!
