Here is a link to the list of unannounced changes in the update: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/51w5jj/new_patch_unannounced_changes_megathread/?sort=confidence
There's pretty much always some things that don't get mentionned in the patch notes but are of high interest to players. A lot of this is little stuff, but there's some big things too. Please comment with anything you think is incorrect or anything else you noticed.
[b]Subclass changes[/b]
Striker titan
Shoulder charge was nerfed due Bungie being worried it would be too powerful when combined with memory of jolder (activation time is longer, tracking is reduced).
Titan skating was nerfed - increased control now gives more vertical lift, making it harder to gain horizontal momentum and skate forward quickly. More info : https://www.reddit.com/r/CruciblePlaybook/comments/5262ed/titan_skating_nerf/ , https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/524byf/why_is_nobody_discussing_the_massive_titan_changes/
Sunbreaker titan
Suncharge may have been affected by the tracking nerf to shoulder charge
[b]Bounties[/b]
Iron banner bounties have been deleted, meaning players saving the marks for when RoI drops will no longer be able to get them. Bungie has confirmed this was intentional.
ToO Gold bounty requiring 7 match completions and 50 fireteam kills for gold tier reward has been changed to now require 20 ROUND WINS. If you had completed and saved a gold bounty prepatch, it is now incomplete and has a status of 7/20 wins (even if you won all 7 games to complete that bounty).
Vanguard bounties are back on the top row of the bounty master's inventory
[b]Loot[/b]
The true meaning of war rewards (weekly shaxx) seem to be dropping around the 300LL area, not sure if its for all players but have had multiple reports of this.
Exotic boots can drop above 335 from engrams. Silver ToO bounties may be able to drop boots/helmets above 335 ://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/51vewv/destiny_240_rise_of_iron_update_changes/d7fapvw
Faction Sparrows are now in the loot pool for packages, although it seems they will still be locked until RoI drops. New Monarchy faction sparrow: https://i.imgur.com/7d485R3.png, dead orbit's arecibo answer, future war cult's eternally assured destruction
Some Blue engrams are decryting into exotics.
Green engrams (decrypting at around 200LL) have been reportedly dropping, even for guardians at level 40 LL 335.
Crucible ships dropping, both from True Meaning of War and Rank up Packages. Got Mind Bleacher and Sidereal Rumba from True Meaning of War, High and Flighty from a Crucible Rank up.
Elusive crucible ships now obtained from packages.
Legendary nightfall drops seem able to go above 330 (up to 335 for now)
[b]Gear[/b]
The sleeper simulant can no longer be used for a solo stagger of oryx as the "bounces" off oryx's chest no longer happen. You get a single damage number. This also means you cannot drop the orb at golgoroth with one sleeper shot. originally found by /u/nbrazz. Proof gif. This gifv was made by /u/3nippledman of nbrazz's gameplay showing that there is indeed no longer a ricochet when firing a sleeper shot at Oryx's chest. Note: this does not mean all shots no longer bounce, just on some things.
Update: Greg Peng from Bungie tweeted that the Sleeper was never supposed to do 2x damage, so it was "fixed". https://twitter.com/gregcpeng/status/774219775526318080
Sleeper Simulant was not intentionally nerfed, a projectile physics bug allowed it sometimes do 2x damage on vehicles and large collision. that said, I totally empathize with the solo'ers that were relying on it.
Ornaments are now previewable in the game Screenshots of all 14 New ornaments
T12 Gear is no longer T12. All items seem to have had their Int/Dis/Str stats reduced by a couple of points. The general consensus is that due to the new LL increase these have had to be reduced to avoid it becoming too easy to reach T12, or possibly T13...T14
New exotic sidearm "Trespasser" is dropping from exotic special engrams. Bungie has tweeted that this isn't a bug and was intentional that this has been dropping early. Exotic perk: http://i.imgur.com/zOjXjpB.png. Perk tree: http://i.imgur.com/KlOHWg3.png
Deleting the khovostov DOES NOT do anything yet, save it for the 20th peeps.
Infusing an exotic into another exotic no longer costs an exotic shard
DLC indicator removed from old gear
[b]Perks[/b]
Firefly explosion does solar damage (not sure if it did this before).
[b]Activities[/b]
Nightfall is apparently on rotation between Saber strike and Rockets McDickface. Confirmed by at least 3 people.
The vanguard strike list now shows a taken war strike playlist instead of heroic.
Saber strike has new SIVA effects in it. Including directory version. http://imgur.com/A5fdD6Q
Phogoth's name has been changed to Hive Abomination.
Public events are dropping 5 motes of light upon completion, no reports of legendary engrams or marks yet.
Revive times have reverted back to the old ways, meaning crest and other fast revive items can be used by running over orbs.
[b]Crucible
[/b]
New crucible audio from shaxx.
Intercerptors in the Combined Arms Playlist are now painted green, and are at each team's spawn at the beginning of the match.
Crucible background in the director screen has been changed now show guardians with new RoI armour on.
Elimination now drops passage coins (can be on wins or losses)
[b]Vendors and kiosks
[/b]
Postmaster now collects GREENS :(
Gunsmith is now selling armour materials. 5 for 250 glimmer.
Gunsmith has new test weapons since the update.
Gunsmith armsday roll have also changed. God roll on the The tuonela sr4 changed to triple tap/firefly and hand laid stock, it maxes out the stability 100%. Get this gun! Is basically a black hung jury.
XBox Players: The PS exclusives have been removed from the exotic kiosk!
4 new shaders have been added to the kiosk. The shaders are The Ointment, Stolen Chalice, Barrier Ethos, and Sparklepony. Shader pics: http://imgur.com/a/0OMX5#abxMa6Q
Eris no longer sells the 2 sets of year one class items she used to sell, at rank 1 and 4 with her. These items inclue the Emerald light bond, the song of dusk bond, the hood of the spawn, the cloak of the hidden, the mark of the hidden and mark of the spawn. The removal of these items form her have made them unobtainable, unless readded in RoI at current light levels. Her vendor page on bungie.net no longer shows her selling them either. This could possibly be because she will sell this gear at upgraded light levels after RoI is released but it isn't being displayed yet.
[b]User interface
[/b]
When you try and check to see your friend's activities in crucible, it will tell you in each playlist the entire list of people playing crucible instead of telling you who is in a specific playlist.
"Use" rate has increased. Use primary telemetry, three of coins, break down elders sigil, break down bounties.
Swapping characters seems to be quicker
Earth in the directors screen is now showing the plaguelands and Felwinter Peak. http://imgur.com/a/FzlqR
[b]New area
[/b]
This area is in the Dust Palace zone on Mars, but did not exist prior to this update. It is located behind and under this door in the map.
Dormant SIVA Cluster inside that room on Mars / Dust Palace Strike area. Unable to grab the Cluster yet, but can see the location of it. Pictures here: http://i.imgur.com/qY4cQoE.jpg , http://i.imgur.com/h7lPrgG.jpg
Second one is hard to see from that angle but it's there.

10 RepliesThe luydmilla fire rate increase is really great, now this weapon is certainly kind of usable.
-
3 RepliesNot sure if it's happened to anyone else but Iv had two exotic engrams drop that I didn't pick up and they never went to my post master. Everything else is going but exotic engrams. Had the first drop from the fallen strike on the moon, died killing him and the two dickheads it MM me with didn't revive me and it gave me the 25 second timer and I couldn't pick the stuff up. 2 purps, 2 blues and 1 exotic. Everything but the exotic went to my post master Second was a shade of oryx in the raid. A green and a yellow dropped and I never got the exotic. May have been two greens but after my first experience I'm not surprised.

Parish gauntlet has a simple Croma slot now.

1 ReplyI'm having issues with legendary marks. I done two heroic strikes but never received marks. Plus I dismantled to legendary weapons and it showed my marks went from 181 to 187 but then I went back in to menu and I'm back to 181. It does show I have 3 more weekly bonuses remaining on strikes so it didn't even register that I've done 2. Glitch glitch glitch.
-
It's funny how Bungie thinks it's a good idea to cut patch notes. Adorable really.
-
It's probably in there somewhere, They fixed the Echo Chamber Restorative Mind Glitch. Which is fine by me, no one seemed to know it anyway.
-
3 RepliesEdited by OurWildebeest: 9/9/2016 11:41:17 PMProbably a dumb question, but should I have an unlock code for the ROI cinematic? I preordered from Microsoft a month ago.
-
8 RepliesEdited by Moot: 9/10/2016 12:38:08 AMMeanwhile I'm over here in the corner with my 360. Nothing has changed here. Only removed.
-
3 RepliesA bunch of exotics I had fully upgraded seem to have been reset.
-
6 RepliesDr3gs Promise still bad after damage buff. Got 337 boots (on my titan). The grainy effect is really bad and annoying. I'm squinting my eyes and have a terrible headache. 👀🤕
-
Could just be tried. But the fly over Venus to patrol looked new.
-
Thanks for the heads up. I had the weekly IB bounties saved on all 3 characters :(
-
Chroma getting shuffled to weapon slots in the vault really sucks.
-
3 RepliesSomeone Bump for later please
-
2 RepliesAlso, I play as a sniper with max sensitivity... does anyone else feel like it's slowed down when moving their scope?
-
It almost seems like they accidentally removed the April and February update. I'm starting elimination rounds with 10 black spindle rounds and rezzing is quick again.
-
There is an issue with faction exotics' effects.
-
3 RepliesTitan agility nerfed
-
2 things of little importance: The thumbnails for Gunsmith weapons have changed. Weapons and armor no longer have TTK icon on their thumbnails.
-
Very nice post buddy!
-
5 RepliesDoes the blue engram exotic glitch still work?
-
4 RepliesI swear to god destiny is just a giant "hey look at the sick game we made, but don't touch anything you f*cking wanker," middle finger. Worth mentioning that they added the sharers, but you can't buy them. Just like they added the plaguelands, but you can't go there. Just like you have these really cool ships, but you can't fly them. Just like they give you some pretty sweet looking weapons, but you can't mod them. Just like... Well I made my point.

3 RepliesOther unannounced changes to Destiny gameplay - Trials carries are now $80 per character - Streamer "donations" no longer guarantee flawless carries - Raffle! system changed to points system, meaning you have to stay in chat to win a carry - Union of Light emblem will never be handed out again... So you can pay $400 or above on eBay - Players who do not upgrade to Scorpio or PsPro will be left behind next October 2016. - More Ps exclusives in coming...because -blam!- you Xbone users.

1 ReplyHow do I get the god roll tunela if I've already turned in my orders on Wednesday?????
