Without much messing around lets get to it. _____________________ [b]Light Level:[/b] -New Light level increase to 415 -Can only be obtained through Iron Banner bounties, Trials of Osiris and the Hard Mode of all raids. No other scaling has been made _____________________ [b]Story Missions:[/b] The Vex have been infected by SIVA prototypes at Clovis Bray, and a new sect of Hive led by Nokris, Lost to Time, have taken the mantle of Crota in the Oversoul Throne. End each of these threats in three new story missions and two revamped raids. -Added the [b][i]Patient Zero[/i][/b] and [b][i]Mind and Machine[/i][/b] story missions on Mars and Venus respectively -Added the [b][i]An Empty Throne[/b][/i] story mission on The Moon [b][i]Patient Zero[/i][/b] summary: [spoiler]You spawn in the Dust Palace and examine some Vex and Cabal corpses, surmising that a large battle over Golden Age equipment has released undirected SIVA prototypes into the atmosphere. As you trace the reading across the Buried City, you are ambushed by multiple Perfected Vex, enhanced accidentally by SIVA. You then attempt to destroy the infected units before they spread to others, in a long battle moving across Mars until the Vex retreat through a portal in the Valley of the Kings. Normal Vex then pour through the Gate until a Perfected Hydra emerges, and upon its death the mission ends. Analysis suggests the Gate leads to Venus...[/spoiler] [b][i]Mind and Machine[/i][/b] summary: [spoiler]Zavala sends you to Venus with important information: Without a power source the prototypes will die off within days, but this is enough time for the Vex to exhume their leaders with SIVA - you cannot let this happen. On Venus in the Citadel you find that the Perfected Hydra's remains, unable to be teleported, are being manually taken for reconstruction. You attack the convoy of Vex but the SIVA prototypes go haywire and latch onto the Hydra for survival. The Vex power it up and rebuild the Templar before your eyes. The Templar glides back towards the Vault, and cannot be defeated. You have to survive it and keep close enough for a detailed analysis. At the Waking Ruins it releases SIVA prototypes into the air which stream into the open Vault. Perfected Vex then stream out the door, and you have to defeat them with the help of the Aegis to finish the mission. To unlock the Pocket Infinity quest you have to go to Campus 9 where the Templar will appear and you have essentially solo him with the Aegis. He will spawn Oracles and lots of Vex. Zavala then confirms that the Vex will resurrect Atheon and gives you the quest for the raid. [/spoiler] [i][b]An Empty Throne[/b][/i] summary: [spoiler]Cayde tells you that a dead portal on the Moon has become active again. At the Anchor of Light, lots of Hive spawn in and are more defensive than usual. You trace them to the Hellmouth, where a Tomb Ship appears over the drop and spawns Tortured Wizards which drain your Light. They use their powers to summon Nokris, Lost to Time. Eris tells you the Hive follow this new leader, an outcast of Oryx who fought the Vex and lost. To escape Nokris you jump into the Hellmouth. In the Stills, Eris finds the portal to the Oversoul Throne sealed and has you find 3 chests in the maze containing Runes to get to Nokris, who has taken Crota's throne world for his own. When you get back to the portal and unlock the Throne, Weight of Darkness is placed on you and Nokris appears on the other side of the bridge. Evading the Taken he sends after you as well as his Taken Deathsinger's gaze, you flee to the place where you dropped in and are teleported out. Eris gives you the quest to destroy Nokris.[/spoiler] ___________________ [b]Patrol:[/b] -Heroic 400 Light Mode added for Plaguelands -Public events spawn rapidly and give better loot while enemies are more aggressive and tactical -Archon's Forge spawns more enemies and tougher bosses with greater chances for weapon drops ____________________ [b]Strikes:[/b] -Increased chances of Skeleton Key drop if Strike score is higher than teammates -Lowered amounts of teleports performed by Kovik in The Wretched Eye ____________________ [b]Enemies[/b] -Perfected Vex corrupted by SIVA appear in the new missions and raid.
