- Is TTK expansion mandatory for accessing Level 40? Had vanilla Destiny since December, with my highest level character being 34. Since downloading the current patch, my progress bar has yet to return and don't seem to be accumulating experience. Would be extremely depressing if this turned out to be true, as it would lock me out of Armsday Testing and purchases which now require level 38 to equip, and also the very good level 40 gear I've already obtained. - Will Daily Heroics be making a return anytime soon? - If so, will they now be expansion exclusive? - Were Vanguard / Crucible Marks ever exchangeable for Legendaries? I had a small stockpile of both, anticipating this. I'd heard whispers the Quartermaster would have made exchanges either after or before the September 15th patch. Loe and behold their disappearance come this morning. I'm not angry, just wondering if I might have missed the boat, or if this was never a thing to begin with and should have just spent what I had. These last few patches have been especially cruel to me, and at this point I'm looking for any reasons to be optimistic, I don't want to put this game down just yet, but I'm beginning to lose patience.
