Discuss and post info from the stream on gaf in semi-realtime!
Modedit: Summary:
Light Level is an average of your Attack and Defense across all equipped items (including Ghost Shells)
UI Tooltips on the stats (Strength/Intellect/Discipline) are now updated, show actual cooldown times
Quest Tab - Up to 32 in total
Warlock Subclass "Stormcaller" Questline
Spark of Light new consumable - 1 per TTK Purchase Boosts you up to level 25 - The minimum for The Taken King.
New Item limits or glitch/testing? Glimmer still at 25,000
Vault Space to be talked about later on
How to acquire Ghost Shells?
Let's go see the updated speaker!
Class Items no longer vanity items, actually help character become more powerful. like this
Ghosts specialise in collecting things on patrol i.e. Detects resources The spirit Bloom sensor
Collections keep track of what you've acquired (and what you haven't) over time, and stores them. Emblems, ships, shaders etc.
Rep changes for factions - Pledge allegiance to each faction vendor, each time you gain rep for Vanguard/Crucible will earn you faction rep AS WELL!
Year 1 Rep Carries Forward!
Can only change allegiance once a week.
Perks have been changed up on the armour, offering choices that you'll have to make. Do you want to be reactive or proactive?
Solar burn skull perk - Reduces the effect of a burn on you. Useful for Solar Burn Nightfalls!
New Monarchy Machine Gun
Better rep packages! Guaranteed Legendary. Higher shader drop rates.
Once a shader has dropped, will be taken out of the pool, therefore more likely to complete the set!
Vault space issue deflected again. I'm guessing there's something good (clack)
Vanguard and crucible marks have been converted to legendary marks
Lord Shaxx has quests for you - PvP quests from level 5.
Weekly Crucible Bounties. If you complete all 5 weekly bounties, you get Nightfall Tier Rewards.
Increased Glimmer from guardian kills! That's a legendary Ghost Shell from PvP
Going back to legendary marks - They are shared across characters. No limit on how many you can earn in a week!
Crucible/Vanguard marks are being cashed in to Commendations. Available on September 15th from your local postmaster.
When you get a legendary item you can shard it to generate legendary marks. Honest! No more motes of light >(Demo failed - Pitchforks ready guys! ----E)
Crucible Weekly Bounties also available from the Crucible Quartermaster
Crucible Legendary MG
VAULT SPACE TIME CONTINUUM. Just kidding
Exotic Blueprint time!
Exotic blueprints allow you to regain anything you might've lost or sharded or your girlfriend has broken up with you and thinks it's really funny to dismantle all your shit... Anyway moving on...
Account Wide Exotic Sharing via exotic Blueprints!
Some year 1 exotics have been upgraded for year 2 guys, costing some legendary marks
Exotic perks now unlocked from the get-go, you can enjoy it right away
New perk increasing super energy with Heavy Weapon kills
Only some exotics will be getting upgraded for Year 2
DARTH SUROS YO
Attack values on year 1 weapons has changed. All values have been brought in line with each other (attack and defense). You have not lost any effectiveness though
Vault space. Not yet. There's a riot goin on down in Bung-ee HQ
Cryptarch will sell legendary engrams that won't turn into shards, for Legendary Marks.
Cryptarch rep carries forward, as everything else rep-wise.
Gunsmith time! Field Test Weapons, similar to weapon bounties
Can gain rep with gunsmith now. i.e. completing quests or using the field test weapons
Gaining rep/rank allows you to choose Armsday Orders which will grant you a new gun every Wednesday, a day after Reset.
Armsday available from Rank 1 Gunsmith onwards. Every week there will be a new set of weapons available.
Here's an example of what you could be receiving come armsday
Infusion is replacing the ascension system.
Infusion keeps weapons current by consuming other weapons.
Infusion is available for all year 2 legendary/exotic weapons/armour pieces.
VAULT TIME
VAULT SPACE VAULT SPACE VAULT SPACE VAULT SPACE VAULT SPACE VAULT SPACE VAULT SPACE
DOUBLED VAULT SPACE. AND THE CROWD GOES WILD
Over doubled vault space for armour slots.
There are now pages relating to what you can store in the vault. i.e. General, Weapons & armour.
It's closin' time. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
