So far I am enjoying the taken king. One of my friends stated that if you like the looks of a piece of armor that you can put that look on another piece of armor. ALso that if you liked a stat on a particular gun (exotics excluded) that you could move it to another gun (again exotics excluded here as well). Is there any truth to this or was this just myth and conjecture?

No restrictions on Type. It HAS to occupy the same slot
So primaries can be used to upgrade other primaries
Also the weapon you sacrifice has to be stronger than the one you are infusing. It raises the value in some percentage (not max right away like etheric light.) There is some kind of formula but the gist is that you will have to do more or less infusions depending on how far you want to close the gap

I doubt we'll even get the same Messenger whenever Brovance returns. In the meantime, there are some other viable weapons you might want to look into that are still available: Bad juju, Mida, Red Death, Strangers Rifle, Preadyths Timepiece, VoC. Even some AR's can put in work in the right hands. when going up against a Messenger, just stay out of it's strengths which is long range and angles. If you get tagged by one, you're likely one shot from death since it can kill with 2 bursts..dont challenge, heal up and flank. It's slow ROF allows it to be countered by closing the gap.

False. You can upgrade legendary armor or weapons to max defense/attack, but you can't move perks and looks between items.
but is that different from the sword I got from the Crusable dude?
I'm a bit lost with 2 pages of Quests
my Tower has blinking marker but when I visit nothing there
dammit makes following my quests harder
Uhh no. It's the same one. Eris gives you the quest then Crucible guy makes it. Is there a second sword quest?
Not very many but after you finish it you open up a ton and I mean a ton of quest lines. Really there's too much to do after the story.

How are the quests though? Are they bounties with several steps?
Yeah seriously. Those Taken War missions as someone with <220 light:
Some are bounties and some are actual quests. Some are strikes as well. The actual quests that are unlocked are harder than what you've done in the story due to the enemy composition and not by sheer overpowering you with light levels. The strikes are some of the best in the game as well.

Seriously, I didn't realize Fillion played the robot dude either. It's nice to finally associate faces with these voices now.

So much! It's kind of overwhelming
The quests vary a lot! All kinds of stuff.
Nice, I've only had like 3 or 4 hours to play so far but finished several of the missions and got my Titan to 39 just from doing those and some of the pve bounties.
Can't wait until Saturday evening and Sunday. Play all day.

I did about 3 or 4 last night, and was shocked to see that they're legit missions involved. I was expecting them to be like bounties as well.
They even dive into some the lore we've only read on grimoires.
Not sure where that photo spread came from, but I'm amused at how Dinklage isn't even in there.
Level 25, I just got something that made my light go way up but I don't know, like 240? 140? I really didn't pay too much attention other than it shot way up. So I should just jump to taken king then?
As far as finishing vanilla is concerned, I did everything except raid, I never got into a raid.
Are you doing the original missions? Or did you level jump to 25 and dive right into TTK missions?

Thanks. That's good to hear

Is it worth playing through all the original stuff with the new changes?
For my money, Hopscotch Pilgrim's the best pulse in the game at the mo, but to be honest there's not that much between the top 5 or 6.
I did snag a great new purple cannon today. Seems to be related to Hawkmoon and has even better range when perked up.
Cool, that's pretty much what I expected. Haven't gotten anything worth infusing until now.

Why did they remove Claudia Black's NPC. Couldn't they find something else for her to do?
THey hinted at her coming back in some new way
So what's the point of infusing if the gear you want to build can never get to Max stats?

It can.
i did check with everyone there. none seemed to activate it
edit: just found a bunch of quests at the abandoned quest station.
I have the same problem. Don't know how to fix it
How does that work if the gear you use to infuse has to have higher stats and the growth is only by a percentage of the difference? Not moaning just interested in finding out how it works

I put it together for the post. Omitted Dinklage since he was the one actor who had a significant amount of work in the game to justify his hiring.Not sure where that photo spread came from, but I'm amused at how Dinklage isn't even in there.
Thanks!
just found a bunch of quests at the abandoned quest station. maybe that is the cause of it? anyways now i have 3 pages full of quests
It's weird seeing people saying there's too much to do in Destiny.I got at least 2 other quests Eris gave me
too many
too many
Okay cool.
Not sure how accurate this is. I had a level 40 set of legendary gloves for some reason given to me when I was 36. Then I hit 40 and the first legendary the game gives me is a, you guessed it, gloves. So I was all greens and blues and one purple and it gives me another purple to replace the only purple I already had. There's definitely more blue drops now though. It rains them.
Same. There's no one waiting for a quest turn in anywhere, but it says I have one.

what do cursed thralls look like ?
need to kill 3 with melee without dying
need to kill 3 with melee without dying
the ones that blow up
I figured it was also due to the fact that everyone knew he was in the game...

Ha I've actually been cycling through all of those trying to find a good fit. My performance has been comparable to pre-patch but it's tough knowing I could be potentially doing even better if I had a Messenger.
Good tips for going against one.
Titan bubble?
I still hate "objectives" like this... this is not the kind of thing I want to need to do to progress in a game...
"Go to _____, kill _____" Much better...
I think you need to wait a week. I bought the Suros Scout order and didn't get a weapon, so I guess it comes next week. Also you can only have 1 order per week it seems.
-edit- Hopefully it is a 280 weapon, but with infuse it doesn't really matter. By next week I'm sure I already have a 280+ weapon.
I think cashing in motes for gear XP is an unsung hero of the expansion. From running a few activities last night and today, I had 10 motes. After turning in some quest steps and engrams, I had a lot of new gear, cashed in the motes, and got the first several nodes unlocked on each. They seem to drop ~1,000 XP per mote. I have 900 of them in the vault - they'll come in handy once I get more legendary and exotic gear.
Destiny does a good job now of feeding a steady stream of gear and loot not tied to RNG. At any point in time 3 or 4 of my gear kit has come from quest drops, not RNG, and that seems to be increasing as I work into the later quest stages. When combined with motes it means there's a dedicated stream of good gear, and a way to unlock perks on them quickly. They get to be awesome right away. (I'm all for gear drops, but this is a better mix of gear sources than before.)
I also noticed that a lot of the new quests are there in part to nudge us into to discovering what has changed in the game. Go and kill high profile targets on patrol, one says. Okay, sure. I'll go kill some level 3 shanks.
Oh wait, it's a level 40 reaver vandal and his level 40 buddies and they're kicking my ass. Oh. And killing them drops 500 glimmer, 400 XP, faction and Vanguard rep. Patrol missions are both more challenging - and fun - and more rewarding than before. Without the quest to point me on that direction, I might not have noticed, because I never run those patrol missions.
Good stuff.
