year two can't come fast enough!

Keep us/me informed

So you saying that I should wait and grab the current GS-F once that new one comes out?

 

[zero23]

Ghost and class pieces have light now. I still don't get the exact grasp of the light level/xp level difference. Got pulled away from the stream with a phone call.

Bounties expanded to 16 total. Pretty dope that you can pull up the ghost and the bounties will be updated in the HUD.

the new light level is an average of all your gear's attack and defense rating. Attack and defense ratings have seemed to have been reworked so 365 attack doesn't seem to be the max or even how max attack work or 4xx as the max defense. It seems to have been re scaled.

Use Spark of Light for new players to get up to speed for the expansion.

that bounty status screen is so clutch man

 

[zero23]

New Quest screen and requirements for Warlock on new subclasses

 

[maladeen]

class items now can increase strength intellect or discipline. Or reload times or xp bonuses. No longer are they just for looks. They also provide light as well. (Remember its based on an average)

Ghost also provide defense or light and perks that increase the collection of materials, like spirit bloom etc by calling them out. 

 

[zero23]

Speaker sells ghost shells now. They're not legendary. They give you an alert for mats on the planets

 

[zero23]

Emblem collection kiosk. They will all be stored here instead of vault. You can always come to the kiosk and put them on from the kiosk. FINALLY.

 

[maladeen]

new perks for defense "solar armor" etc that provide better recovery or defense from elements during burns etc. 

adds value to the armor and can truly build unique classes for different situations.

you can cash in armor materials etc for faction rep as well. 

 

[zero23]

You can only change your allegiance once a week for factions. Pretty cool new perks on the armor. You can choose how to your gear perks help you.

or

 

[maladeen]

faction packages now guarantee a legendary and increased changes to shaders. Once a shader is collected it is removed from the chances to get it again so you can collect them all. 

 

[zero23]

Faction packages are a guaranteed legendary and strange coins. NO MORE BS. IF you have duplicate shaders, they will take that into consideration and not give you a duplicate from the faction. The Mat exchanges up top will be for armor parts, synthesis, and useless stuff in the new expansion for faction rep.

 

[zero23]

Lord Shaxx has quests for you in PvP.

ALSO, He has 5 bounties and if you complete all of them you get "Nightfall Tier" rewards

 

[zero23]

Shaxx sells Legendary ghosts too. Has cool perks like extra glimmer for killing Titans/Warlocks/Hunters etc.

 

[maladeen]

NO LIMIT ON HOW MANY MARKS YOU CAN EARN. THE CAP IS 200 BUT YOU CAN RE-EARN THE 200 AGAIN

 

[zero23]

They will convert your old marks to commendations at the postmaster that will be able to cash in for rep. They won't turn into Legendary Marks.

 

[zero23]

Legendary armor/weapons that are sharded will produce legendary marks for you to buy new stuff.

 

[maladeen]

shared legendaries will provide legendary marks. that way nothing is truly a waste. 

 

[zero23]

Crucible Quartermaster has Seahawks colored weapons. Pretty dope colors.

Also they have their own set of bounties for crucible but no special reward like Shaxx

 

[maladeen]

existing exotics now have additional talents added to them. 

 

[zero23]

Exotic Blueprint area. HELL YES. If you get an Exotic, it'll have a blueprint. You can generate duplicates of it at the blueprint kiosk. 

They have also "upgraded" the year 1 exotics to improve to year 2. 

New Perks - 

 

[maladeen]

that new suros regime. Man oh man that thing may just be a beast. 

 

[zero23]

Year 2 Suros!!!!

You can choose between focused fire or Spinning Up.
