Seriously though that's not the last word in the year 2 box. Anyone else seeing this?

 

[MostWantedZero]

Anyone running Crota's End HM anytime soon? Still trying to get that crux.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Seriously though that's not the last word in the year 2 box. Anyone else seeing this?

Different icon I think.

 

[Lnkn52]

But then what will we jump to conclusion about while we wait!?

If you're a warlock, good luck.

 

[Robdraggoo]

I'm hoarding a second or third of everything I like in case feeding an exotic to another exotic is part of the upgrade process. Chances are probably slim, but I don't need the shards anyhow.



They said not to dismantle our stuff just yet, legendary wise, so I'm hoping there's a reason. Further, I hope that reason is that they turn into marks like the new stuff.

confirmed in todays teaser trailer

 

[EloquentM]

Seriously though that's not the last word in the year 2 box. Anyone else seeing this?

I see it. It's a new exotic. Could it be THE ROSE??!

 

[Juraash]

All will be forgiven if this is the way they go.

But they probably would have just let us upgrade them if this were the case.

Well I feel like raid gear, specifically, has some pretty great perks that aren't available anywhere else. So it's slightly different than a straight upgrade from year 1 to year 2. This just allows you to keep specific looks for your guardian no matter what gear you have. It also makes sure that new gear isn't negated by having great perks from year 1 just carry through.

It also would have the benefit, hopefully, of generating far more unique looks for guardians.

 

[Rubbish King]

need one for nf

It looks kinda like the dregs promise icon but that's a special weapon.

 

[PuMa]

The bolded has already been confirmed to be true. No Year 1 Legendaries are being updated to Year 2 levels.

Until mid year 2 when they want to dangle a new carrot!

 

[VE3TRO]

if you already own, Vanilla, TDB and HoW you can buy TTK digitally for 40 bucks. if you dont have ALL those already your gonna have to buy them. if you own Vanilla but not the 2 expansions, I would recommend waiting until release, buy the 60 disc version as:
expansion pass= 35.00, taken king=40.00.

Yeah I own everything already. I'm in the UK and its £40 but only $40 in Canada which is £19 so I'll just buy from that region digitally.

So it seems that the 3 exotics, shaders and emotes are exclusive to the collectors edition. Kinda annoying but oh well.

 

[figadapaura]

Happy Birthday, Math!

I would post something, but I'm on mobile so here 🎉 🍰

 

[EroticSushi]

If you're a warlock, good luck.

All three baby.

 

[silver.tongue]

Silver! You're back! and with a new avatar I see.... who... who are you?!

Yes I'm back, Noomi! All yours

Spoiler

(lewd...)

if you need help leveling that new sexy warlock you got.

The avatar is the new protagonist in Persona 5. We don't know his name yet.

You'll be able to buy those separately for...$20.

 

[xVaalbarAx]

Creepy sidekick...check
Roguish Commander check 😏😘

Hunters are the best

Nathan Fillion is just fucking amazing.
Oh and happy birthday Math! 🎉🎂🎉

 

[phen0m24]

You've met me, Hawkian.

And me

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

First was already confirmed
Second would be certainly surprising
Third is what's happened in the previous two expansions, but then was fixed with that Speaker redux, so I dunno if that would happen.

It sounds like both of you are concerned about "having to play the game before getting to end game" which I think is definitely what Bungie wants you to do. Hence calling it Endgame and not Whenevsgame.

I've got no problem playing for new stuff, but not the same weapons I was using when the game first came out. That's just lame.

 

[Subtervotion]

I just hope the talk about Artifact slot and infusion.

 

[EloquentM]

It's The Last Word

It doesn't look like the last word at all. Mobile dgaf. Zoom in and see for yourself.

Hmmm, you're right. It would allow them to leave OP perks behind. Obviously they've struggled with that previously.

 

[LTWood12]

It's looks about as different as Hawkmoon and Fourth Horseman do.

 

[bobbyrawlins]

I anticipate the announcement that marks won't be convertible/all faction rep will be reset with TTK so that everybody can't have awesome legendary armor

Spoiler

ghost shells

on day 1.

 

[figadapaura]

And me

Have we met? Nice to meet you.

 

[rNilla]

Seriously though that's not the last word in the year 2 box. Anyone else seeing this?

The First Word? The Last Laugh?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Okay.

I'm not too bothered by an upgrade path, personally, especially if it means I can use it forever.

 

[Falifax]

The First Word? The Last Laugh?

Sensible Chuckle

 

[EloquentM]

The First Word? The Last Laugh?

Last word my assless chaps

 

[LTWood12]

The First Word? The Last Laugh?

It's the Last Word.

 

[noomi]

Woah.... alright just saw the video... hold up. What's this exotic blueprints thing? Looks like some sort of new vault storage perhaps?!?

COULD IT BE!?

 

[Deku Tree]

That's just evil.

 

[rNilla]

I actually think it's an updated icon. Hawkmoon is also different as is Monte Carlo (slightly). Keep pixel hunting!

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Okay.

One could make the case that if Bungie knew what they were doing from the start then we'd be able to play with all of our weapons and armors forever.

 

[xVaalbarAx]

The Gun. Kappa

^its this absolutely

 

[EloquentM]

If it's the last word maybe it's last word 2.0? You know...to go even further beyond

 

[stb]

But I wanna get mad about stuff now!

This cracked me up. Thanks.

The cycle of freaking out about things hours before the actual answer is known just to make sure everyone knows they're freaking out about it is fascinating to me.

It's like my cats. I have 2 cats, and they form their own little echo chamber. Neither of them are ACTUALLY afraid of anything that "startles" them, but one of them has decided he's scared of lots of innocuous things. So I close a bag of potato chips or something, and he FREAKS OUT. Now the other cat is cool as a cucumber, and only freaks out under one condition: when the other cat freaks out. So it goes like this:
- I do something not scary
- Cat B is fine for a fraction of a second
- Cat A freaks out
- Cat B freaks out SOLELY because Cat A freaked out

To bring this home, some people in this thread are Cat A, which causes some of the Cat B's to freak out when something "scary" happens like a teaser trailer drops.

STOP BEING CAT A!

 

[Subtervotion]

What's even more interesting is than The Last Word is that auto rifle next to Monte Carlo just looks like a black Suros Regime.

 

[Hawkian]

You've met me.

You've met me, Hawkian.

And me

<3

Looking to run Nightfall if anyone is down. PSN ErnieMcCracken

 

[Lnkn52]

That's just evil.

Well they did reset our Queen's Bounty rep. Bungie is all about not having players having a huge advantage over their casuals.

 

[Trakan]

^its this absolutely

Not to mention they have a history of doing that with stuff like the spinmetal icon and the aclyophage symbiote icon.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

One could make the case that if Bungie knew what they were doing from the start then we'd be able to play with all of our weapons and armors forever.

One could make another case that if Bungie didn't know what they were doing there's no way the game could have sustained 7 total human days of my playtime.

Probably a lot of cases out there, I guess.

 

[EloquentM]

It's looks about as different as Hawkmoon and Fourth Horseman do.

Hmm maybe just an icon change but why? Why now?

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Need one for NF! Join on me.

I wish everything could be explained with a cat analogy.

 

[LTWood12]

Because new is fun.

Schroedinger would contend that you can.
And can't.

The Final Word.

Isn't there a solar version of Thunderlord?

Maybe it's a variant of TLW.
