Just like I predicted, Blighted Chalice will start at Phogoth's chamber and end in the Shrine of Oryx, and Malok is the boss. Look at the picture of Malok, that's the shrine of oryx in the background, and the new ghosts go from Phogoth's chamber, to that hallway outside, to the entrance of the Shrine.

FTFY

Getting those 30k points seems super easy.


legendary engram hype! wow!

Those guys were all 335, so it would seem relatively easy at that LL.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Points have nothing to do with LL.

The PoE 42 is 320 light btw.

 

[DeviantBoi]

Is max LL 335 or 345?

I heard 345 at the start.

 

[MildSoss]

Yeah but the requirement is only 320 though, most of the people here are pretty much at that light level or extremely close to it already.

The enemies were 335, at least the bosses were.

 

[Trakan]

You will, they said it on stream.

Maybe I need to watch it again, but it seemed like he hesitated, and meant "up to 335."

New sword.

KF normal drops 320 light rewards, and hard 330. CoO drops 335 artifacts.

 

[optimus8936]

Since they are changing things in the reef, I wonder if they will do anything with brother Vance and trials. I doubt they would change anything with that, but one can only wonder.

 

[the_id]

Why are people wanting year 2 thorn?? You guys are nuts.

 

[Rainmaker]

That weapon from the Titan armor pic that glows blue like the armor probably has a "blue chroma glow" node

 

[LunaticPuma]

You will, they said it on stream.

They said "chance" at 335 light level weapons and armor. I read that as RNG of light level from 320 - 335.

 

[Deku Tree]

I feel very meh about this update. It's nothing.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Was just saying it looked "easy" because they were loaded out w/ 335 gear.

 

[PewPewPewBow]

Gonna have to farm PoE to get a god roll HB / Supremacy 2.0 ;'(

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

There better be a Taken shader in this update.

Yup, that looks like Weapon Skins.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Really liked everything I saw.

I only feel like one thing is missing...

An endless mode. It seems like the entire foundation is there for it. Hopefully we get one in the future.

Did anyone get a screengrab of the end of activity loot they got when they got back to orbit? I swear I saw a kingslayer shell on there.

That hunter looks like he has a takenified Lord of Wolves, am I seeing that right?

Edit: nvm that looks like a regular LoW

 

[mehrmantrout]

Whats the point of upping light to 335? I'm already 318 with a perfect PvP build so won't face any penalty

 

[LTWood12]

if the gear can drop 320-335 instead of guaranteed 335, it was a big mistake having it drop at 335 on stream. Talk about setting expectations; that just guarantees frustration.

 

[Darknyss09]

It it me or does it look like we're getting weapon skins? The warlock in the April update image is holding a 'taken' gun.

 

[Kyoufu]

Nah they always said 335.

 

[E92 M3]

My biggest interest is in QoL changes and sandbox. I need to know what they're doing with weapons.

New strike drop?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

3 emblems, 2 legendary engrams and 1 mote of light I believe.

 

[rasengan1337]

ugliest emblem yet?

nope, "the bird" in a circle still takes the cake.

Bottom of that page on Bungie.net says:

UPDATED DIFFICULTY & REWARDS FOR KING’S FALL & COURT OF ORYX

Kings fall Normal drops increased to light level 320. Kingsfall Hard drops increased to light level 330. Court of Oryx Artifact Drops increased to light level 335

 

[willow ve]

So is there matchmaking for PoE now?

 

[Misterthirsty]

You don't want to rack up points with your hung jury, spindle and hmg?

 

[Midshipman]

So weapon skins are going to be the new everse trading in the reef? Selling more cosmetics?

I'm okay with all of this.

 

[Lnkn52]

\\MAX LIGHT RAISED
New challenges demand that you become even more powerful to overcome them. Difficulty and Rewards have both been increased in Prison of Elders, Court of Oryx, Heroic Strikes, Nightfall Strikes, and in the King’s Fall Raid, as well as Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris.

 

[Jafku]

so the red chroma is just weapon skins? What about transmogs?

 

[daedalius]

Unique questline for ps4?

ffs

as if there isn't enough content already

Woah. A reason to actually complete the whole raid again? Say waaaat

 

[optimus8936]

Just for the 260 light one, the 320 one doesn't have MM

 

[Pandora012]

I will finally reach 320!!!!

There better be a Taken shader in this update.

I will riot if I don't get it.

 

[macewank]

was really hoping for more than a re-skinned strike and level boosted versions of old end-game stuff. =/

 

[Kyoufu]

Only the level 41 version which takes you to 320 Light.

The Elder Challenge mode (42) which takes you to 335 does not have matchmaking.

 

[Night_Knight]

[LTWood12]

So are they saying all Normal Mode KF drops will be 320 and all HM drops will be 330? Could read it that way or as them just increasing the range. If it's the former i guess they're doing away w/ challenge mode?

 

[Namikaze1]

Well you have to wait until the 12th for the update, so I don't see why that's a big deal.

I never said it was a big deal. Just responding to post regarding PvP stuff. :/

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

You'll have to buy it from Eververse store on the reef

Spoiler

(with $$$)

Next week will sell me on the update.

I only came online now, anyone have a list of updates? I
ll just watch an archive stream then.

I assume it's just increasing the range, and challenge modes will drop 320/330.

Why? What do you think the live team can do? This is as good as it will get until September.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Someone on reddit did some datamining and found some stuff about a new shader faction. This may be tied to that new node on that PoE weapon they showed. I believe this has already been posted here but here it is again:

Text Update > Stream, this week. Everything getting f increased to newer levels is good. Now we'll see if raid still does rng on top of rng.

PoE is more fun to play than watch, imo. Meaning PoE is boring to watch.
