Just wanted to say how happy I am that you're back
thanks but nothing's set in stone yet. i'm still not able to play yet and there are some bridges i'd like to rebuild...
It was my third break from the game (and a much needed one) but the circumstances have been less than ideal.
I am so totes excited.
On the 15th I'm deleting my Warlock and bringing her up through the new stuff. We should bring our newbie guardians up together.

for my titan, I only ever seem to equip 2 exotics, Helm for pve and armentarium for pvp. dont mind trying something new in the TTK. I once equipped pergrine greeves and skullfort just to see how they looked.
Tell Sony if your account issue isn't sorted by TTK launch you'll throw a knife at them. Arrow sniping montage must happen.
That....actually makes a lot of sense. You may very well be correct.
I think you can buy green armor from someone to shard for armor parts; is that what you're thinking of?

I think the most efficient way to play TTK together on launch day is to play all the same class. that way we can do the class specific quests at the same time. no?

It doesn't at the same time, though. Because what weapons would be at the top to the left of the new SUROS?

According to this screenshot the character in question has the Nechro and Hard Light, but they aren't up above.
This would allude to the fact that those two slots are actually for new weapons, and not Year 1 conversions. Thus, the 4 weapons on the right might not be the only 4 new exotics we get.
The real question is why is there 2 seperate Year 2 Primary sections when the first one has 2 empty slots on it. I think if we can figure that out, we'll have a good idea of what's actually coming over.

I think ALL Year One exotics will get upgrades eventually
In fact I think that allowing people to upgrade them all for marks seemed to easy anyways
Slowly thinking certain blueprints will need an unlock beyond just OWNing the original
or they are just gonna roll out more with new expansions
Still seems odd that they would put time to rework several key exotics (hard light, necrochasm, icebreaker, lord of wolves) just to give them nothing to do in Taken King
Many are speculating that unlocking blueprints will be an incentive to run upgraded versions of old content like the Raids and PoE

Please no pie charts. They're the worst. The only thing worse than a pie chart is multiple pie charts.
Remember, the reason you are displaying information in a chart or graph is that you want to make it easier to interpret and compare information. Pie charts do quite the reverse.

But it only looks like there is one less year 2 primary there there is year one. you think it could be mida?
Kor of Memory

I don't think the 4 separate year 2 primaries on the side are reserved for just brand new primaries. I think there is something else that distinguishes them over there, just haven't figured out what.
So MIDA could be over in the 2nd area.

Who knows but they are clearly holding info back

This is exactly what I was thinking as well, we get a handful of year 1 exotics now, and as time goes on they will work to re-introduce old exotics once more with better and newer perks
Has to be it!

I thought the "greyed" out exotics were just the new ones, and they shuffle around to make room for any Year 2 exotics that you happen to have the Year 1 version of? I thought that was the reason postulated for why the red death appears in the bad ju ju slot when comparing between the teaser and the reveal.

I like the percentage charts like this
They have their uses. I wanted to show the topic distribution per thread in both a pie chart and a bar graph. The activity stats would be line graphics, the atmosphere stat would obviously be a sine graph, and then top posters would just be a table

Fig is looking for folks for nightfall unless she already got two to help her out:

I thought that, as well. Until Deej made that comment in the BWU about the Gjallarhorn.

I think in the stream when he hovered over a year 1 that was greyed out it said "requires discovery" or something. the greyed out ones are a list of year 1's you havnt found yet.
speculation of course

Different Builds is more likely as in this screen shot http://i.imgur.com/Q2TCirG.jpg
Bad Juju is the only Year 1 weapon that didn't get a new thumbnail in Year 2.
So it was likely a place holder.

Popularised by Florence Nightingale - she saved a lot of soldiers lives by using pie charts to convince the army to have cleaner hospital tents.
i.e. They're handy when you want to point and say - LOOK this part is a huge proportion of the total.
EDIT re bad ju ju placement - ah ok - I just wanted to flag that as a possibility as it would cause trouble for all the counting based logics...
We know there there has to be more than those four primaries though. There are 11 from year one. We know 4 of those aren't coming forward. So that leaves 6 that are, and one we aren't sure about (Mida). That means there's seven or eight new exotic primaries.
Another inconsistency I just noticed:
Vex Mythoclast is a special weapon that we equip in the primary slot. It is listed as a primary as far as blueprints. No Land Beyond and Universal Remote are ALSO special weapons we equip in the primary slot. However, those are listed under Special for Year One blue-prints.
Please bring NLB to Year 2 and convert it to a special exotic. I could always equip it!

I think once I get 347 and Jade rabbit, I wont care that much anyway. but if 2.0 is everything it sounds like, Mida is going to be a PVP powerhouse. So maybe it should stay year 1 for now.

Yeha but they seemed pretty clear on Gally not getting a year 2 version
Clearly going to be one of the last guns to get its year 2 variant and Im not sure they are just going to GIVE the blueprint away just for owning the original
its going to be hard to get. Some questline maybe
That said I imagine the Vex and Necro upgrades are going to be linked to the old raids getting remixed for lvl 40? Or maybe some Eris Morn endgame quest for Necro?
HoW Exotics I am guessing will have Variks quests the encourage you to run PoE
That said they have YET to reveal remixes to Year one content beyond the Taken war stuff
So its likely these upgrades WONT come until the next dlc or major content update

I agree that a pie chart alone though doesn't tell the full story. Pie charts are for percent/100 and then you compare the actual numbers alongside it in a bar graph. So you can say "Off Topic discussion was 40% of OT 18" on the pie chart, and the graph would show 8,000 posts.
It's a conspiracy to boost off topic over LFG

This is a problem Bungie has always had with consistency. Vex was their first irregularly slotted weapon. This is why changes to Fusion Rifles or Special weapon ammo would always screw up Vex balancing and require a 2nd patch to fix it back in the early days. The Remote had similar problems, but it wasn't used as much so no one hardly noticed. No Land Beyond was made later on and played by different rules.
So it may be hard to find consistency here. In an hour I'll be home for Lunch and I'll really start diving into this.
Does this make Luke/Deej/Bungie the Riddler? Because I would love to see someone photoshop a green bowler cap onto Luke or Deej's head.

Nilla would be happy, but the rest of the world would cry.
"well, at least I can keep my NLB......*SOBS*"
I'll make a pie chart showing "tables broken while raging over Destiny PvP, by user", and it'll be a single color labeled Unstable in large font over the middle.I agree that a pie chart alone though doesn't tell the full story.

I'm good with graphs you see.
Use a Void shotgun and your void subclass (unless you're a hunter).
Thorns overrated anyway
It's about the journey. Not the over-popularized, overpowered exotic hand cannon you get in the end.
