So yesterday Game Informer posted a video/podcast of some community questions being answered by Chris Barett (game director) & Scott Taylor (executive producer). It was a great video with a lot of info! I'll post a link below along with some of the most important points. https://youtu.be/bEgHalZoCtg ·Taken spawns will not leave ·Xur will sell ornaments ·Dismantling Radiant Treasure items will give you an item called "silver dust" which allows you to purchase things from Eververse & Xur ·Thorn will not change coming into Y3 ·When switching between the new artifacts; effects will be felt immediately ·When asked if Y2 engrams will decode into Y3 gear the guys smiled real big & said "no comment" ;) ·Daily bounties & grimoire can be collected in private matches but not quests or weekly ·New strike specific loot ·TTK strikes will be separate from RoI strikes ·New exotic quests including a new Thorn quest ·When ranking up with a faction you can choose your reward (armor, weapon, chroma) ·Lots of new Fallen lore ·Looking at adding Grimoire in-game ·Ghorn will not break the game again ·Looking at new vault/inventory space after release ·Y2 Trials gear will not be obtainable after release ·Expect some new content a week before release. No comment on what it is :) ·2am Pacific is the release time. Adjust time to your region · They did say that Armsday weapons will have a new light level but it was unclear if new weapons will be added ·When asked if raid weapons would have static perks or random ones the guys chose not to comment ·Still lots of avenues for high light level gear such as Archons Forge, Strikes, Faction Packages, CoE, Bounties, etc. Rejoice for solo players like myself! ·Hidden exotic quests are still a thing! Keep your eyes open!
