For all the people who claim that this is “TTK 2.0” not everything was sunset on TTK’s release: [quote] Some exotics from Destiny's Year One will be upgraded when The Taken King launches, and players will be able to access the new versions if they have the old version in their blueprint collection. These upgraded versions will also cost Legendary Marks — more on that later. Light Beyond Nemesis, an Exotic Warlock helmet, was showcased during the stream; its upgraded version starts at max defense, grants earlier access to its best perks and adds totally new perks on top of them. Only "some" exotic gear will be brought forward into Year Two. The Suros Regime, an exotic auto rifle, will be upgraded in Year Two with a new look and new perks. Exotics aren't the only thing you can upgrade in Year Two. All new exotic and legendary weapons and armor can be "Infused," allowing players to break down gear to improve other pieces of gear, provided the destroyed gear is "of the same Year and gear slot, a similar quality and a higher level than the current gear." This process will also consume a few different materials, like weapon parts and Legendary Marks.[/quote] Polygon - August 19, 2015 [edit:] Because not every Dreg on the forum is literate, we can also take a trip down memory lane: https://youtu.be/D2BHmBouNEY [edit:] You can speed up to 42 and 52 minutes on the vid to get to the details. Here’s the irony - legendary armor and weapons were revamped on TTK launch to [b]specifically allow infusion[/b] going forward [edit:] with a perk overhaul. The point was to induce and reward extended engagement with the game. Combined with the improved story elements, it worked: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-09-17-activision-reveals-impressive-destiny-the-taken-king-launch-stats-but-not-sales https://gamerant.com/destiny-taken-king-sales-125/ https://ar12gaming.com/articles/destiny-the-taken-king-helps-gamestop-digital-sales-as-overall-profit-and-revenue-decline https://venturebeat.com/2015/09/21/destiny-the-taken-king-grabs-the-no-1-retail-sales-spot-in-the-u-k/ There’s a lot of revisionist b.s. floating around here about how sunsetting will bring another TTK when TTK gave us infusion in the first place. It is also a fact that Bungie has admitted that it was a huge mistake splitting the playerbase by launching D2. Facts, history, and experience matter. The rest can walk.
