By Moris Go To PostWait…why are ARs getting buffed? To offset HandCannons?According to the weapon update stuff, Hand Cannons are getting nerfed pretty hard and ARs are headed into a better middle ground between what's current and vanilla.
Hard Light in particular is getting a buff though. Gotta dig up the patch notes for you.
nearly maxed my Suros Regime, if it hits a little harder PvP its over.
white/green in Taken more powerful than legendaries....that's weird. Exotics transfer tho?
God damn it Bungie, you couldn't have spent those however many years in development to sort this out instead of releasing a damn encyclopedia worth of changes and shit

The colors were basically re-scaled
Also Vanguard and Crucible marks are no longer a thing. They're consolidating them into Legendary Marks
here's more GI info, i removed the story deets in case people don't want to even see hints of story stuff
Taken enemies wield brand new effects such as Taken Captains wearing solar shields and throwing out orbs of darkness that blind, Knights fling aoe scorch, Centurions shoot tracking rounds, Wizards summon thralls, Psions split into two, Vandals deploy defender like shields that allow them to shoot out and heal, Phalanxes shoot projectiles from the shield, and thralls teleport on the battlefield.
New world objects exist that can be scanned by your Ghost and give useful information and lore, can even start a dialogue between your ghost and the Vanguard, things like statues, weird worms, etc.
All items will offer perk customization including weapons, armor, class items, and even your ghost!
Crucible has improved matchmaking and a new mercy rule that will end a match early when misbalanced.
New system in place that allows you to sacrifice pieces of gear to empower others from the same slot, may be some kind of transmog system (very few details)
New class quest lines, including quests for the new subclasses and added quest lines for the older sub classes that introduce you to them and give some back story.
Gunsmith has his own reputation meter now, lets you test prototype weapons in the field, with higher rep you can order a weapon once a week that will be delivered on Wednesday with a random set of perks.
Crucible and Vanguard Marks have been consolidated into "Legendary Marks".
Class armor materials have been removed, consolidated into one source that is shared between all three classes.
Can now pledge allegiance to a crucible faction, one at a time only. No longer requires wearing a class item. Can also turn in Motes, Weapon Parts, Armor Mats, synths, etc to gain reputation.
New computer console near the outfitter that allows you to pick a shader you want, and also displays all the shaders you have yet to acquire and how to get them, same system is in place for emblems.
Vault space is still an issue, Luke Smith is quoted saying "We are exploring options for getting stuff out of players inventories via these kiosks that we've played around the tower, but we're still working towards a solution that we're excited about."
New dedicated quest line that introduces players to the Crucible and the respective NPCs like Shaxx.
Simpler bounties have been made, with more difficult bounties being available and even fireteam based bounties for pvp. Trials now has bounties associated with it as well as new weekly bounties for the crucible which upon completion give access to a sixth weekly and challenging bounty that can reward a legendary or exotic.
Presence of "raid-light" mechanics in strikes, Bungie is hesitant to make strikes too complicated due to griefing.
extra note on the shader terminal: it means any shader you've ever gotten is now available permanently instead of having to delete/undelete them and use up vault space

i still have no idea what a guardian is or what he tries to achieve. i don't know which the vex, hive, fallen or the other guys are and i don't give a crap.

Light Level still exists, it's now just your "power level". The level 40 is obtained by EXP, but activities will still have a recommended light level.
Also, when Taken King comes out, you'll translate directly into your current level. So if you're 34, you'll still be 34 when Taken King comes out.

Sounds like Taken King is what Destiny should a been from the jump.
I beta tested the fuck out if this game.

By DY_nasty Go To PostI peeped the story spoilers and I'm ….Are you saying it's really bad? The MMO-based structure of Destiny makes the story a snoozer. I don't remember much if anything of the story, similar to how I don't remember shit about WoW's story.
I never expected anything let alone something GOOD lol
By Dnipro Go To Posti still have no idea what a guardian is or what he tries to achieve. i don't know which the vex, hive, fallen or the other guys are and i don't give a crap.Yeah, this.
lol i already see people stocking up on finished bounties, motes, glimmer items so they can max out the fastest once TTK drops. those are the guys who complain week 2 that there is nothing to do anymore.
By reilo Go To PostGood.The story for Destiny is actually really interesting. NONE of it is actually in the game though.
Are you saying it's really bad? The MMO-based structure of Destiny makes the story a snoozer. I don't remember much if anything of the story, similar to how I don't remember shit about WoW's story.
Yeah, this.
Fallen for example, they think that humans stole the traveller from them. Most of the lore suggests that the traveller was once settled with the Fallen back at their homeworld then suddenly left, abandoning them. The Fallen had a damned good civilization going at one point, but now they're... well, fallen from grace /yeahhhh. Even the servitor's resemblance and role suggest some sort of emulation to the traveler. And the battle of Twilight Gap was pure fukkery. *short versions*
Also, I read some of the stuff on the Vault of Glass. its just demonic. So many paradoxes and timelines wrapped into that that people don't even know which reality the game takes place in.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postgetting a ps4 again dythat's whats up
i expect us to put in some work in mp again
moris can watch in the corner while me you and smokey carry the team again
so my fireteam decided it would be a good idea to go on a month long vacation a day after TTK drops and i kinda promised them to wait. damn.
Inferno Clash is pretty nice. I like the no radar bullshit. Was doing pretty bad, team was losing, and then four enemies gathered around heavy ammo, got one of them, died, resurrected and killed the other three and turned the tables on the match before I put the nail in the coffin and my team won. They for sure would've had me if they had a radar.
By Moris Go To PostSounds like Taken King is what Destiny should a been from the jump.Pretty much. I'm really excited to jump back in. Been taking a break to catch up on other games haha jk took a break just to play Elite Dangerous for endless hours.
I beta tested the fuck out if this game.
No commentary full match of Rift with Shadowstalker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et8T9ZYN-Y8
Rift looks sooo gud

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postwhats rift modefancy name for capture the flag
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postwhats rift modenew 3 v 3 mode where the objective is basically steal the bacon
By psychintellect Go To PostI'm bored af. Should I buy destiny now or wait till the new thing?Depends on how cheap you can get Destiny now imo. If you're starting from scratch, there's plenty to do until TTK hits.
Not going to touch Destiny until TTK hits. Don't want to taint my experience with the game by playing the inferior pre-TTK version.
By DY_nasty Go To Postthe easiest nightfall in weeks gives me shit for rewards. thanks obamai got a hawkmoon (which i already have) and two shit legendaries.
at least it was done in under 30 minutes.
Got this a few days ago for 20 quid. Started already since I probably won't get too much done before TTK drops so I'm not that bothered.
Fun game though.

"This is the first time they’ve really reset the weapon and armor economy. We were getting new green weapons that out-powered our best raid gear from Year One, even after the first mission."

so xur is FINALLY selling the horn... wouldn't be surprised if the 2.0 patch hit next week knowing bungie. they're about to nerf the hell out this thing so get it while its still good
Now that the Godhorn is being sold I guess I might as well shard all my extras.
It seems like most if yall play on ps4, would I be a complete psycho if I tried playing on the Playstation side as well as xbox? Put too much work on my xbox side to stop but it'd be cool to have ppl to play with for raids and shit

By Moris Go To PostIf you got folks who can help you power level, it's not too difficult
Yea I think that's what it'll come down to.
By Dipro Go To Posthow do people help in leveling? i can get a char to max in under 4h.I guess they can get the tagalong treatment in story missions that would otherwise be close to impossible or something...? I dunno. Crucible = powerleveling imo.
