[b][u]STREAM SUMMARY:[/u][/b]
Storywise, Oryx has been defeated, and a new powerful Taken enemy called Malok is trying to claim his throne. Variks has also managed to imprison Taken in the Prison of Elders, because the writers don't even care anymore.
Winter's Run (Archon Priest) strike being updated, will appear in heroic strike playlist with new strike-exclusive gear, Archon Priest himself is Taken now
New max light level 335, new gear, shaders (including Taken shader) and emblems (including Prison of Elders II which drops from PoE challenge mode).
New questlines include "Return to the Prison", "At the Gates" which includes a new mission on the Dreadnaught called "Pretender to the Throne", and new PS exclusive Petra quest called "Fight Fire with Fire".
New strike called Blighted Chalice with a powerful Taken prince called Malok as the boss. The strike appears to take place in the Shrine of Oryx. Will presumably drop the Hood of Malok.
New level 41 (light 260) PoE with matchmaking, as well as level 42 (light 320) challenge arenas with no matchmaking. No more treasure rooms mean no more keys. Challenge mode has three rounds which feature some of the 8 bosses. Bosses shown off include the Overmind Minotaur with the ability to create detainment fields, a new boss called Syrok, who's a Taken Knight whose fire has a large AoE and lasts a long time, and the Pilot Servitor, who can now teleport and shoot spider mines. There is apparently over 16 variations possible for challenge mode, and they rotate weekly.
Variks sells a weekly scorecard similar to Trails. PoE grants points towards this scorecard, and the objective is to beat the high score (30,000) and the cumulative score (90,000). High score gives you new Queen's Wrath weapons (a new sniper called Her Fury was shown) at 335 attack, and cumulative score gives you 335 armour. There is a modifier on the scorecard each week which gives a way to get more bonus points (e.g. precision kills give more points).
Eververse is now in the Reef.
According to Bungie's summary, Heroic strikes, Nightfall strikes, Court of Oryx, Iron Banner, Trials of Osiris and King's Fall have all been updated in light level. King's Fall normal mode drops are now up to 320, while hard mode drops are up to 330. Court of Oryx can drop artefacts up to 335.
Rewards and progression will be detailed next week, and sandbox changes, the crucible and live updates will be detailed the week after that.

[quote]Variks has also managed to imprison Taken in the Prison of Elders, because the writers don't even care .[/quote] Fuсk me if Variks isn't the most powerful mf in the game
-
over 9000
-
Not even his final form tho.
-
So, basically, they're just turning the game into more pvp. That is just what I think alot of people did not want. Well, I guess Destiny 2 stands for more than 2 people to play. Can't wait to see the "new" Destiny!!
-
Much appreciated summary

Will there be an old version of POE I wonder to use up any treasure keys we get?
-
They are getting rid of treasure keys.
-
Keeping an old version of POE... But getting rid of keys... How does that make sense?
-
I know I am with you on that topic but that's what they said in the stream earlier today. It was Deej himself that said it.
-
Then it looks like I only got a few weeks to grind for a her benevolence. Man I wish I hadn't destroyed so many year one weapons
-
Keys aren't needed for the chest now, they will open automatically from now on, I'm not sure if they're doing the same for the old version.
-
Sounds like keys will be gone altogether but I hope not
-
Me too. I destroyed mine too but some of the features from y1 weapons are available on y2 weapons such as my favorite th old firefly option. So, I don't think it will be too bad for weapons.
-
They said that the old pie will still be there. And it was confirmed on stream it will. Stay the same
-
Their is basically a new her benevolence it's called her furry which has LDR impact and has the same logo just different design
