Overall TTK seems to be quite amazing
Little concerned at how easy it is to get legendary equips at damn near every part but the base stats start LOW
Meaning youll need Infusion and other upgrades to get your ass to endgame

i mainly play in IB and Trials now. regular PVP is when i'm just bored and grinding marks. old weapons without the dmg increase is useless for me.

So no G horn 2.0, people going to salty
yeah this is kind of crappy. 125 marks to buy an exotic and then re-level after the main unlocked perks.
Because I'm going to be purchasing and upgrading massive amounts of items Day 1. With only 200 across three characters it's going to be a nuisance more than anything else.
I currently have 1200 across three characters.

Did anyone scree cap the perks for the legendary ghost in the vault that came with the collector edition?
Please be a place holder
Lol

Horn 2.0 will come eventually and they'll hype the shit out of it when they do.
So... do you think this is how Destiny is going to be going forward?
Kinda tired of having to relearn everything every few months.
Okay, this is bullshit.

Not YET anyways
They hinted that more exotics might join the 2.0 club
Maybe they are still figuring out how to change them all?

Only thing I really don't like is 125 marks for "new" old exotics. Should be significantly less

Lol
those perks are... underwhelming
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.
Only thing I didn't like was the gunsmith rep, other than that all sounds good, also judging by some comments here I'm assuming ghallahorn is one of those weapon that aren't upgradable? 😥 thanks for the quick recap

So glad that reforging is out. It ruined the fun of legendary drops.

If they use the time to balance them right thats fine. If they use it as way to avoid balancing them then that bad.
I have 1200 as well. Wish the cap was more than 200.
Agreed

It's probably just old HoW guns if it didn't have the icon. You could see the reforged area when they scrolled down on the gunsmith for a brief second. I would probably be happy if it was out.

Yeah but there are so many Legendary Mark earning options now
They can be gained all over the place
it keeps it fresh whether we like some of the changes or not.
Quick thoughts:
-What are we doing with Cores/Etheric Light?
-Sword on hunter's back at end of stream, hype!
-Heavy Ammo for rep trade in was only one heavy ammo pack, that's likely to be the best deal since you can get 5 for one strange coin.
-Year One legendary weapons and armor are complete toast unless they reveal something further
-Infusion was slightly disappointing, has to be a higher level weapon. But this begs the question can we infuse TTK weapons into Year One weapons?

Yup.
I wonder if Y1 will still be available though or we only have like 30 days to earn them?
I guess it won't matter sinceY2 versions will go in the table...

Well maybe you shouldn't expect to be able to upgrade and purchase massive amounts of things on day 1.

My only gripe are the marks being shared. Eventhough it's easy to reach 200, I wish you could have 200 per character. But other than that, this game will feel completely new.

yeah I really want to know it year one Content will be updated
They Updated a bunch of strikes right?
What about raids and POE?

there is no way I am going back to farming these, wtf is this
Seriously. I didn't expect it to be amazing, but that's just disappointing.
Will make glimmer farming way easier at least. Get one with Vex and head into gatekeepers.
Spend all your marks but 200 on resources now haha
hopefully better than sidearms.

I feel bad for my buddy who just got a gally
I mean he will be able to get a lot out of it for a least a little while

Your 1200 marks will turn into commendations on Day 1.

For year one weapons, apparently
But Year 2 Weapons don't have the "reforge" perk. It's replaced with infusion

I think they said they are turning into commendations day one. So it wouldn't matter either way.

Year one weapons are still going to be PVP monsters for quite a few of them
