Less than a month away they must be testing final code. Whether it was final code in the preview is not known, I admit.

Less than a month away they must be testing final code. Whether it was final code in the preview is not known, I admit.
Considering that we're less than a month to release I would assume that all of this has been finalized and we're simply waiting for it to pass cert.
However, yesterday's reveal could have been from their most recent stable build and they're still doing some QA. idk i'm not a bungle

How does Datto know? He's going off the Bungie video. Maybe he thinks the Fourth Horseman is an Invective.
EDIT: Wrong again! It's indeed an Invective.
There are three exotic warlock helmets for year 2 in the blueprints page. Deej did not have any of the The Ram, Apotheosis Veil, Skull of Ahamkara for year 1. It's most likely that there will be at least one completely new exotic helmet so probably none of the The Ram, Apotheosis Veil, Skull of Ahamkar are upgradable. But I don't see any definite evidence in the video that "Process of elimination" tells us that none of those will be coming into year 2.

I think they are keeping some things secret, not showing everything, and certainly trying to not allow people to know exactly what weapons are going forward and which aren't.
Further, they clearly said that only some exotics are going forward "for now." That clearly was not a mistake on verbiage which tells me they will continue to release additional exotics as time moves on.
I'd be more interested in the Red Bull thing if Bungie actually got the best of the best to promote it, ain't going to be nothing interesting about watching the likes of Datto getting destroyed by Triple and Fizzor.
I haven't seen anything about Triple pulling out of the Sweaty Tournament so I don't know Bungie will do it. I don't think they're flying the streamers out to Seattle so they may just have them connect to each other on PSN or something.

Oh, I'm positive they'll pepper in old exotics as time goes on.

Look at 3:01 and 3:03 in the video

Ultimately we just don't know, as you say, but I think you're likely to be both right (armour) and wrong (weapons).
We don't know how any damage modifiers are going to be based on our light level versus the missions light level. They could be linear or exponential or non-existent or something else.
Assuming you have all your gear to get to the right level so there are no damage reductions...then assume two cases where you have a year 1 armour versus a year 1 weapon. There's no change in damage reduction/buff BUT if you use the weapon you will be taking a significant decrease on your DPS compared to a year 2 version. I think that will be big enough that you just won't voluntarily do that to yourself - maybe to use a year 1 ghorn but not for any of the other exotics.
Armour is passive so having a slightly lower total armour stat might not really bother you, and you probably wouldn't feel it in the same way as DPS, where you can see damage numbers and see enemies dying.
So you might be happy to trade a lower armour stat for some significantly different/interesting perks.
They'll do it with future DLC. No way Bungie/Acti give stuff away in between DLCs. Yay you get to have your old favorite remixed weapon back!

He confirmed that Resolve might have to sub in for him. He also mentioned that they couldn't fly Geb to Seattle because he's a minor.

LOL you even quoted my edit where I admitted I was wrong.

Deej didn't have a Ram on his character, so it can't be eliminated yet.
Notice that the 2.0 versions only show up when you have the original. There is no placeholder slot, the icons shift over to account for another 2.0 exotic.

I'm not saying the code isn't there somewhere, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily showing it to us. Possible they removed some things or hid them from us so we would have some surprises on 9/15.
But maybe not. Point is, let's not put anything in ink just yet on that front.

Yeah too early to know what the reduction will amount to and how it will affect each individual weapon
But I agree with your analysis for now
That might be true, but was there any evidence of that in the stream?
There definitely were placeholder boxes, but I don't see how you can determine that icons will shift over.

This is so lame. Even the 30 second limit when a single person opens a chest, stinks.
They could have a boolean that is true or false based on the following condition:
When a person kills the boss, the treasureEarnedBool = 1.
Once they grab the treasure, it's set to 0. However they distinguish it between each PoE can be done in different ways and they put badly already have a way (or in lame terms, a variable for each e.g. treasure35Earned).
Of course then you can't test whether you've earned the treasure key AFTER killing the boss, so a timestamp mechanism would have to be implemented which can be resource intensive. Just have to convert it to some small int and can be done probably on a minute grain between HoW release date and now to save space.
So if 2 other people already got the chests, for instance. Either they can't join you to go back to the chest room or it won't allow them to open it because their boolean is set to false. I'm guessing they would just stop them up front from going in in the first place but regardless. That'd be the only "checkpoint".
"players in the fireteam don't have access to this mission. Please press Square to start mission fresh" message if you wanted to lose that checkpoint and play the whole PoE again.
Seems like there are ways to fix this but coming from someone who has no idea how they implemented anything.
Correct.
I agree with how you guys are coming up with what is Year 1 and Year 2 but the fact that the Teaser trailer and the Stream had Bad Juju and Red Death in the same slot makes a lot of it iffy. There's a good chance they have models for them all for Year 2 and are still switching it up. Most of it is probably accurate, just something to chew on.

yeah I found that interesting
So does that mean the placeholders represent new weapons only?
you can turn old ones in for rep, so yes everyone will be starting at 0 legendary marks.
There are going to be a lot of Strike Trains and PvP trains to grind for Legendary marks at the beginning of TTK!
There is no way to answer that question. It is an unknown.

Cool - thanks for pointing out the possibility though - I had missed it in my original post.
I can't quite believe how much stuff there is to work out in this game some times...

shouldn't take too long to get to the cap, especially since they are account wide now.
The ones at the gunsmith in the video were 200 attack.
T-44 has gotten 3 in our last 4 kills!
When it rains it pours. My Solar Shank Six Dreg Pride II was killing it in the Nightfall this week combined with my Void Captain Suppression Scout Rifle. It was actually kind of neat. And no I'm not being sarcastic lol.

I use my void Six Dregg Pride for void burn and it's pretty decent... mine has dregg burn though

The infused legendary went to 288 right?
I wonder what the final cap is
Assuming 300 then carrying a "cructh" weapon drops your average to 287 assuming all your other gear is maxed
Not sure how big a damage reduction that results in if you are running 300 light level content
There is just so much unknown right now but with a smoother curve the reduction might not be massive
STILL you are most likely going to want to be AT or above the recommended light to give yourself every possible advantage

Just wanna make sure everybody has seen this new subclasses montage.
The editing is a-fucking-mazing!

Hey Drizzay I'd still love to take you up on he newbie Skolas run next week when the modifiers get better. Probably the weekend would be the best for me to give enough time to get it all done.
I really want a solar six dreg pride! As it stands, I've gotten one ( void auto rifle ) out of eight kills. T-44 has gotten three (arc HC, Pulse, Auto) out of nine kills.
I use my void Six Dregg Pride for void burn and it's pretty decent... mine has dregg burn though
The Army of One is actually an awesome perk, I've grown to love that thing. For void it puts it a step above Word of Crota and for Solar, well I can't say it places it above the Jewel but it certainly is the best PvE droppable solar hand cannon (and the only
)I'm rocking:
Void Scout (captain suppression)
Solar HC (shank)
Void Pulse (captain suppression)
Void AR (dreg)
Arc AR (dreg)
The Scout and HC are by far the most useful. Army of One on HC is sweet and I actually like Triple Tap on the scout rifle. Pulse doesn't pack enough of a punch but the bonus damage on the ARs stacks fairly well, just crappy perks otherwise.
Ah alright that's cool, and I always forget how young Gab is, well, he isn't much younger than me but still underage lol

I thought the reveal showed Bad Juju in a slot, but then in the stream Red Death was in that slot. I think you're probably right.

Old stuff getting useless is what has me most excited about TTK.
Chasing gear is fun - not having it.
You´re welcome. Hope the guy gets a community spotlight - he deserves it.

Amazing!
Yeah it showed Red Death in the same slot as another weapon in the reveal trailer vs the stream. That could have been two different builds, or some other explanation.
I think they are going with the placeholder slots thing for all year 2 exotics (including year 1 remixes) just because it would make sense to me for them to do so.
