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

Could be.

Normal: 310-320
Hard: 320-330

Normal CM: 320
Hard CM: 330

 

[Raven117]

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

But, do I have to run the Kings Fall Raid for light level stuff passed 320?

I just...have no interest in doing that if so.

 

[E92 M3]

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

[Zoso Achilles]

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

We'll see soon enough just how much fusion rifles get nerfed.

Prison of elders will now drop higher light stuff too, same with IB and trials

[Darknyss09]

I hope the RNG light level range is dead. Worst idea they've implemented.

It seems like with 320 330 and 335 loot now there's a gradual progression mapped out.

 

[X-Frame]

Is Skolas still available to kill after the update? And his emblem/ship/shader for (now) having a Treasure Key?

 

[darkistheway]

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

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

Pretty much sums it up for me.

I do like that the Level 42 PoE challenge mode is just three rounds. I would rather have some activities with lower time commitments.

 

[Kor of Memory]

So here is a list of stuff we now know:

• New Strike on the Moon with the Malok Boss
• Taken version of Winter's Run with possible Taken Archon Priest boss
• New Matchmade PoE mode with 4 new bosses, and new mechanics for old bosses
• New PoE Challenge mode with Trials Card like mechanics
• Cout of Oryx will now drop up to 335 artifacts
• Normal Mode King's Fall will drop up to 320 gear
• Hard Mode King's Fall will drop up to 335 gear
• Several new Quests
• Weekly bounties for Variks
• PSN exclusive quest chain with Petra

Did I miss anything?

 

[Ballistic]

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?

More likely a range of 310-320 and 320-330 just like now.

They're tweeking classes, but we won't here about how or which for another 2 weeks.

I had to tune out for work stuff, but this sounds pretty good to me. I loved PoE and was hoping it would get an update. Assuming they showed a bunch of new gear? Any good new perks?

That sounds a lot more promising... Who wrote the AprilUpdate thing on Bungie's site? Literally half of this stuff isn't even outlined there

 

[Darknyss09]

Tune in next week(TM)

They only showed a PoE sniper called Her Fury. Had a new column of 2 perks but won't show what they are until next week.

 

[willow ve]

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.

Great. More content I can never play. Fuck this no matchmaking bullshit. Didn't they learn anything from ODST Firefight? Put optional matchmaking in the game you nits.

 

[WeTeHa]

If it's seriously "up to 320/330/335 light" drops in the raid/PoE they've made a mistake. Make HM raid stuff drop at 335 guaranteed. We still have to deal with shitty infusion, so at least make the drops guaranteed max light.

And the weekly challenge from PoE should also give guaranteed 335 gear.

Also, if they change stuff in king's fall, add helmets, class items and ghosts to the drops please.

 

[Mindlog]

I hope those new nodes are something good because I really don't want to infuse anymore. I feel like I'm done infusing. Raising the light level will be fun grind for some, but it does nothing for me.

 

[spyder_ur]

PoE is probably my least favorite end-game activity in Destiny so far. It just doesn't do much for me, so it's underwhelming that it's the focus of this update.

That being said, new strike and missions is cool. A lot of this for me will depend on what new gear we see - I'd be disappointed if there were no new exotics or it was all reskinned guns.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Tune in next week(TM)

Honestly, this is just so frustrating. It's a four week announcement process of what's in the April update. Just list it! Then demo it!

I'll just tune back in after and read the summaries.

 

[ocean]

PvE stuff is cool for maybe a week no matter how good it is, then it's just farm. What I really hope is news on PvP maps modes matchmaking and balancing.

 

[Pandora012]

If it's seriously "up to 320/330/335 light" drops in the raid/PoE they've made a mistake. Make HM raid stuff drop at 335 guaranteed. We still have to deal with shitty infusion, so at least make the drops guaranteed max light.

And the weekly challenge from PoE should also give guaranteed 335 gear.

Also, if they change stuff in king's fall, add helmets, class items and ghosts to the drops please.

But we now have a real chance at getting that 320 class item. HYPE!!!

 

[Namikaze1]

Y'all better start praying to RNGesus for dem 335 class items.

 

[Orthogonal]

I'll run the new strike and then shelve the game again until whatever is coming out in September.

 

[DonutTurtle]

Good thing I horded a lot of tier 3 runes.

 

[Kor of Memory]

So here is a list of stuff we now know:

• EverVerse kiosk added to Vestian Outpost
• At least 1 New Mission
• New Strike on the Moon with the Malok Boss
• Taken version of Winter's Run with possible Taken Archon Priest boss
• New Matchmade PoE mode with 4 new bosses, and new mechanics for old bosses
• New PoE Challenge mode with Trials Card like mechanics
• Keys not needed in new PoE (unsure about old PoE)
• New PoE has checkpoints (unsure about old PoE)
• Cout of Oryx will now drop up to 335 artifacts
• Normal Mode King's Fall will drop up to 320 gear
• Hard Mode King's Fall will drop up to 330 gear
• Several new Quests
• Weekly bounties for Variks
• PSN exclusive quest chain with Petra

Did I miss anything?

Okay, corrected the King's fall HM LL.
Added checkpoints.
Added note about PoE keys

Anyone just checking in, gear was mostly saved for next week. We got a small teaser, and some hints, but nothing solid enough to really put on a list.

Edit: I'm not putting the new sword on the list because Bungie is notorious for putting weapons/armor on promotional art that ends up not being in the game.

Honestly, this is just so frustrating. It's a four week announcement process of what's in the April update. Just list it! Then demo it!

I'll just tune back in after and read the summaries.

There is a good chance that weapon skins are coming to the game, possibly via EverVerse. The node mentioned something about a Red Chromatic something or other. Chances are it gives the gun a Red skin and/or glow.

 

[mehrmantrout]

Anyone up for a Mayem clash train? Have 3 spots available

 

[Pandora012]

Y'all better start praying to RNGesus for dem 335 class items.

If it is anything like it is now, I won't get one until they bump up the light level again.

 

[Darknyss09]

Good thing I horded a lot of tier 3 runes.

Unless they introduce tiers 4-6. There are 3 more 'hoops' =P

 

[WeTeHa]

But we now have a real chance at getting that 320 class item. HYPE!!!

Yes, if it's 320-330, I'm expecting our first drop to be 320

 

[xplicitone]

They also showed that they have something in their Postmaster but can't show that until next week, too!

 

[Dalek]

I'll be roped back in for re-tooled PoE. I loved that mode.

 

[Namikaze1]

Destiny won't be looking so dead for reset raiding on the 12th.

 

[Deku Tree]

The new PoE challenge looks really easy. It needs MM. Bungie has no excuse. I know it's their game etc but it needs MM. No reason not to include it.

And I am against MM for new end game Raids like KF.

 

[Kyoufu]

Destiny won't be looking so dead for reset raiding on the 12th.

I have this dark feeling in my soul that it'll be hard to find 3 on the 12th.

 

[xplicitone]

Yea, that definitely needs MM. I agree that raids do not.

I have bad enough luck with The Division CM MM and there are zero mechanics.

 

[DNAbro]

Hey I'm excited for Destiny again, all it took was new content.

 

[xplicitone]

I have this dark feeling in my soul that it'll be hard to find 3 on the 12th.

I think people will check out Destiny when it resets. Then go back to DS when the weekly stuff will be completed in a couple if hours.

 

[Mass Appeal]

Anyone got opinions of the pdx 45 from gunsmith this week?

1: Hammer Forced, Feather Mag / Private Eye / Smallbore, Lightweight

2: Perfect Balance, Casket Mag / Rangefinder / Snapshot, Reinforced Barrel

3: Fitted Stock, Oiled Frame / Unflinching / Snapshot, Smallbore


I have the order on two characters and was going to maybe buy the second option this week and save my othet pdx 45 order for a CB or HH roll next week. Isint range on pulses better then highest stability?

 

[darkistheway]

Especially without objectives (I didn't see any but I skimmed the stream archive).

If it is just horde mode... MM should be there.

Damn though, that sniper looks sexy.

Glad to see the continuation of guaranteed progress. 6 335 pieces a week should help maintain a steady pace.

This is how I feel too. Dragging out the reveal like this is incredibly lame, especially given how modest in size the update is.

 

[embalm]

Numbers go up even higher.
I get to play dress up with new gear.

It's like the update was made for me.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Numbers go up even higher.

That new Titan gear looks sexy as hell.

Very vex inspired, but way better than the VoG set.

 

[Deku Tree]

Deej, and that reveal stream just convinced me to devote April 12 entirely to the Souls3.

 

[JohnOfMars]

Can't wait for the Spring update where all my gear suddenly becomes less powerful.

Even Light creep aside, what about stats?

Will my T5 INT/DISC gear stay T5 or will they now be T4.9?

 

[TurboButts]

edit: wrong thread

 

[LTWood12]

The way they're taking 3 weeks to reveal this is pretty awful. That said, I'm excited to run Challenge of the Elders, a new strike, and Archon Priest. My expectations were really low coming in, so it at least met those.
