Information seems to be a little all over the place so I'll put the cool stuff here as I find it. Just like other people are probably doing. But I'm bored, so ANYWAY. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOzF4D6EdiY [b][u]~Main villain - Oryx + bosses~[/u][/b] http://static.businessinsider.com/image/557f9c73eab8ea0d044620f6-1200/image.jpg Mad cus you smacked his son. Also, you're not prepared. The expansion also includes at least one boss that isn't a resized regular mob; a cabal boss with a back-mounted mortar that also leaps around with some jetpack wing things and deploys a big shield. Might be two bosses, I'm not sure. [b][u]~Subclasses~[/u][/b] https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/130947840/0/0 Titan - Sunbreaker, throws hammers and wrecks shit Hunter - Nightstalker, tethers enemies and dodges like a cheeky bastard Warlock - Stormcaller, shoots LIGHTNING. From his HANDS. Subclasses will have [u]their own questlines[/u] where you go to get this power. Hunters go to the Black Garden, Warlocks go somewhere that looks like Mars and Titans go to Mercury. http://i.imgur.com/ntp4J1O.jpg http://i.imgur.com/P0gW1XF.jpg http://i.imgur.com/BtWirdH.jpg [b][u]~"New" enemies - The Taken~[/u][/b] Essentially recoloured enemies you've already fought, but with new abilities. Phalanxes can fire big ball stuff from their shields. Vex can link up with each other to some effect. Psions can multiply. Vandals can drop dome shields. Thrall can TELEPORT. [b][u]~New areas~[/u][/b] [u]Phobos[/u] - at least for one mission. [u]Hive Dreadnought[/u] - new ''planet'' (see: [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ship]not a planet[/url]), has puzzles, loot, and lots of hive. Like the Moon if the Moon was a big Hive fortress. It's in the rings of Saturn, and it is FRIGGING HUGE. In case you didn't know how huge, watch this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFh5ArG46_M Those little tiny ships flying next to the big one at the start? Those are [i]Tombships.[/i] Unlisted places on Earth and Venus make short appearances, most likely in the quests. Some old areas are re-used (you see Devil's Lair in particular) but there are new areas as well, including a large orb that looks like the top of a colony ship. http://imgur.com/a/KSrNK (After watching it a couple more times, it looks like you go through the Devils' Lair and through the back of Sepiks' arena to get to the top of the colony ship above it. Neat stuff.) [b][u]~New crucible game modes and maps~[/u][/b] Rift and Mayhem Clash. [u]Rift[/u] is your basic CTF mode. You take a spark, and have to try and dunk it into the enemy rift to score. Pretty simple, and no doubt going to be pretty fun. [u]Mayhem Clash[/u] is deathmatch but with massively increased super, melee and grenade recharge rate. It's going to be absolute chaos. There's [i]at least[/i] three new maps coming for PvP; [u]Sector 618[/u], a confirmed and shown map, inside the Wall. PS exclusive. But who needs another Old Russia PvP map? [u]Bannerfall[/u], a shown map, takes place in what looks like the Tower. Neat. http://puu.sh/is9aI/d6c9f7d380.jpg http://puu.sh/is9bT/f132df54e1.jpg And an unnamed and briefly-shown Vex-style map, either on Mars or Venus. It looks like a bit of both. It has a massive chasm in the middle which you go over by entering one of three gates on either side, which launch you across. http://puu.sh/is975/345670d128.jpg http://puu.sh/is8lv/3d1f0b6479.jpg [b][u]~A raid, of course, and new strikes~[/u][/b] New strikes are a given. One of them looks like it takes place in another Warmind bunker, possibly on the Moon or Phobos, given the white-ish rocky background you can briefly see. Playstation also gets an exclusive strike, which sounds literally like Sekrion 2.0, where the Vex are bringing Sekrion into our current time. Dust Palace, Undying Mind, and Cerberus Vae III will also get new Takenified versions. The raid so far is confirmed to have jumping and angry Hive. Yay. http://i.imgur.com/GrybT5f.jpg http://i.imgur.com/MdLUmTc.jpg (This IS a six player raid. They just show 3 in everything so they can have one for each class, but if you watch, you can clearly see six guardians on the swinging urn thingo. Six players, not three.) [b][u]~UI changes~[/u][/b] You can now track bounties and quests on the Nav Menu You no longer have to go into your inventory. http://puu.sh/irOVL/a3e55e61ce.jpg Also, 32 QUEST SLOTS and 16 BOUNTY SLOTS on a new 'Progress' page. No doubt to account for all the new shit + all the old shit. http://i.imgur.com/jPGriAw.jpg [b][u]~PS Exclusive Content~[/u][/b] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBlMCAHfTNU Some gameplay of the exclusive strike and PvP map, courtesy of EnigmaSiege. PlayStation gets a couple of exclusives, cos Sony paid more money. Not as much stuff is exclusive this time around though. [i]The Jade Rabbit scout rifle[/i] - http://puu.sh/isfXR/d5bdeea693.jpg [i]Echo Chamber,[/i] a strike on Venus, where the Vex are attempting to bring back Sekrion [i]Sector 618[/i], a Crucible map (ew) in Old Russia (eewwww) - http://puu.sh/isg7D/8bc2fd56b4.jpg Plus three armour sets; -Hesperos http://puu.sh/isgdO/054c33186f.jpg -Azoth Bend http://puu.sh/isgfr/8649021b2a.jpg -Neuroghast http://puu.sh/isgin/918472a532.jpg I personally don't think it's anything to get worked up about. [u][b]~Gear additions and changes~[/b][/u] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KcElCwJTMM&feature=youtu.be [u]Gear will have new perks.[/u] These range from things like extra experience gain for certain weapon types to increased elemental damage. There also seems to be more perks, and possibility the ability to switch between stat bonuses (like choosing intellect over strength, and swapping between them). [u]Class items will have perks.[/u] http://i.imgur.com/6onrwz4.jpg [u]Gear will be able to be reforged.[/u] This includes class items. Essentially rolls stats and perks just like reforging a weapon. Also confirmed are [u]stylized manufacturer weapons[/u]; weapons from SUROS and Hakke in particular make a show of themselves, and weapons overall have a far more sleek design. Some other weapons also resemble modern day firearms, complete with picatinny rails. [i][b][u]~Extra Stuffs~[/u][/b][/i] [u]-The voice of the Ghost[/u] is now being done by Nolan North, who also narrated the trailer. He will be the voice for all future content, but all past lines will be redone by him, effectively removing Dunklage's controversially forgettable voice from the game. [u]-Quests[/u] are handed in from a menu instead of requiring a visit to social spaces [u]-Quests and bounties[/u] are apparently being redone, including previous ones [u]-The level cap[/u] has been raised to 30 and no longer uses armour light [u]-Weapons[/u] can be tested before purchasing -[u]Allegiance[/u] can be pledged to factions, removing the need for class items -8 confirmed "lengthy" story missions, plus strikes and stuff that leads to the raid, [b]King's Fall[/b] [i][b]/~Speculation/unconfirmed changes/possible placeholders (outdated)~\[/b][/i] [spoiler]Some things seem like changes but could be placeholders or for testing purposes. I'll put them here in a spoiler to save room for the facts. Light level has been shown at 40 and 50 and base level at 30. Could be a possible increase. A SUROS rocket launcher and some weapons are shown with kinetic damage instead of the usual elemental damage. This could either be because they're not quite done yet OR because some steps are being taken to shake up the fight; perhaps the Taken are vulnerable to kinetic, or there'll be less elemental requirements. [u]Weapons are also shown with a light level[/u]. Light level and light are different, so rather than the weapons raising your light level, it's probably one of two things A) Higher weapon light level works like guardian level - more damage to stronger enemies. Easy and definitely manageable workaround to simply increasing the level cap like they usually would. B) A level requirement to use. [u]Artifacts[/u] are unknown. They apparently unlock at level 30; this could be placeholder (locked for testing), it could mean a change to the base level cap, or it could mean light level. I personally think it'd work in a similar way to Borderlands' relics. http://i.imgur.com/Yj4meIs.jpg Considering there's a third subclass now, I wouldn't be surprised if you unlocked it at an increased base level of 30. But it could be anything. I'll wait for more. There are also reports of armour reforging and perks on class items.[/spoiler] We are NOT starting from scratch, and it WILL be available on all previous consoles. It's an expansion, not a sequel or a standalone game. Definitely looks more worth the money than the previous DLCs combined. Hopefully this information will help you with your decision on whether or not to buy it. Keep it civil, people.
