Here are some of the main points I took away. Please add in the comments what I forgot and I'll add it!
- You can [b]upgrade ANY legendary weapon to 365 attack[/b] damage but it will require Etheric Light (obtainable in Prison of Elders, Trials of Osiris, Iron Banner, and Nightfall) and it does NOT reset your current upgrades [url]http://i.imgur.com/HQ9wMss.png[/url]
- You can [b]upgrade ANY legendary armor to 42 light (level 34 with all pieces max) [/b]but it will require Etheric Light (obtainable in Prison of Elders, Trials of Osiris, Iron Banner, and Nightfall) and it does NOT reset your current upgrades. [b]CONFIRMED: Stated at 42:05 in the video linked below Chris says "Every legendary piece weapon and piece of armor in the game can now be upgraded from any release" [/b][url]http://i.imgur.com/8jeE81Z.png[/url]
- You can [b]upgrade exotics (including the Vex Mythoclast) and it only requires an exotic shard, weapon parts, and glimmer anytime no Xur needed[/b] [url]http://i.imgur.com/1ukWk0J.png[/url]
- You can now [b]reforge/reroll weapons obtained from the HoW DLC[/b] at the Gunsmith (old weapons are not capable) This WILL reset progress [url]http://i.imgur.com/NDiWlau.png[/url]
- Trials of Osiris will be a Friday - Reset ONLY activity
- Prison of Elders will have a weekly reset but will be dynamic and events will differ weekly (not much info here yet)
- [b]Variks (House of Judgement) will bring "Prison of Elders" rewards and rank items[/b] (ships, shaders, class items) and will have a predictable weekly inventory (possibly a mix of drops and rewards like Iron Banner)[url]http://i.imgur.com/FCEOGzI.png[/url]k
- You can now [b]trade any currency with the Speaker[/b] (shards for energy, glimmer for motes, etc.) [url]http://i.imgur.com/XbZuXUM.png[/url]
- There will be new weapon perks introduced. One example I saw: "Temporary increase to sprint speed after a melee kill"
- They said they gear will drop during different stages of Prison of Elders
- Petra will be the NPC that drives the HoW story
- [b]You will be REQUIRED to complete Petras story mission[/b] in order to unlock Trials of Osiris and Prison of Elders
- The Reef will contain a cryptarch, vault, bounty tracker, post master just like the tower. [b]All space and rank are same as the tower [/b]
- Gunsmith will now sell telemetries
- More UNIQUE weapons not just a reskin of an older weapon [url]http://i.imgur.com/aaDxupM.png[/url]
- About commendations Gothalion said on Twitter "@Gothalion: Deej forgot to talk about commendations. I'm making him put it in the weekly update. It's really big. You'll love it."
- Vendor weapons and armor from HoW do not have upgrade nodes for damage. Weapons start at 331 and armor starts at 36 light and then appear to need to be ascended with Etheric Light to hit max level
- [b]Prison of Elders (and probably Trials of Osiris) gear will start at 42 light[/b]. No Etheric Light upgrade needed
- Commendations are gone and can be cashed in for 250 rank points
Please let me know what I'm missing!

3 AntwortenPiece of advice add the myth/ necro of the house of wolves on it
-
12 AntwortenYou forgot to add raids to the list of obtaining the light thing to upgrade.
-
I'm impressed! Knew I would be, can't wait.
-
4 AntwortenCan confirm this is what's happening so far.
-
5 AntwortenOne question: do we need to upgrade the HoW vendor gear as well with etheric light in order to get it to light level 34 or is it able to hit lvl 34 right out of the box?
-
9 AntwortenThe only bit i dont get is whats the point of levelling your gear up. For what? If there is no raid why bother being max level. Is it to get further in horde mode.
-
7 AntwortenWhen is the HoW release date? I'm hoping it's in June after my exams.
-
2 AntwortenMake sure they know Vex Mytho is no longer frozen at 323
-
2 AntwortenMaybe it was just me, but DeeJ seemed to slip up at one point and basically confirm my suspicions that another Iron Banner is next week. Anyone else see that?
-
Thanx, awsome post, for helping
-
Yes thank you!
-
5 AntwortenDid anyone notice the weapon and armor upgrade nodes were really short. It looks like everything will go from 331 to 365 with maybe 1 damage upgrade at the end.
-
2 AntwortenHave an album of screenshots. Tried to get as many perks as possible.
-
3 AntwortenI am so unbelievably hyped for this, but most of all I CAN WEAR NEW MONARCHY ARMOUR AT LEVEL 34. At last people actually have the opportunity to show their faction loyalty at the level cap!
-
The ship is a FALLEN SHIP!!!!!!!!!
-
2 AntwortenNothing regarding if recapping gear alters stat values outside att def and light (int str dis) and since no armor was upgraded in the stream and it wasnt mentioned its still a mystery Id hope it does otherwise wtf is the point of remaxing old gear if it will have inferior stats to how gear?
-
1 AntwortenCan wait to look bad ass on my VOG armor .... Level 34
-
4 AntwortenSomeone reply for later please
-
2 AntwortenMYTHOCLAST CAN BE UPGRADED *squeals like a little girl*
-
10 AntwortenAlso, they had no real answers ready when Gothalion asked questions that the players have been asking, like about the lack or story and content in TDB and the lack of lore in-game. What is this Bungie?
-
6 AntwortenSo vanguard gear can get you to level 34.... That kinda sucks
-
Super excited Bungie!
-
1 AntwortenThanks for the write up mate, I missed the stream. Keep up the good work :)

I have to say after watching this..... I more excited than I was. I realllllllly love the material swapping through the speaker. The fact that I will be able to get a huge amount of motes day one is awesome. As far as the time frame this doc it seems like they have set it up so that players will have to spend more time grinding like vog But, with more freq drops. I also like how the fallen dude will show what players could get each week as a preview. It was clever how they didn't apply the new dps material to the weapons and armor that were not fully upgraded. I wonder what it will do? Over all I'm really happy with the direction so far. I hope the arena follows the pattern they are going with. I want non repetitive game play and I want to have a dynamic loot options. I like how I can play the queens and the poe

Bearbeitet von JadedDark: 4/22/2015 11:36:36 PMHe definitely deflected some questions in regards to "new" bounties. I'll wait and see but I am pleased with the new content so far. What will really get people hyped over this is added content to the old tower. That'll keep everyone busy with new and old features. Surprise us in a good way again Bungie. Edit: just advice guys... Make sure all of your vendor ranks are on the brink of leveling up just before the DLC drops ;)

1 Antwortenwho else is suddenly really sad that they dismantled alot(or all) of their old Legendary weapons from vanilla
