Do we know if the raid will be released at 10am PST?

What happens to sterling treasures in ROI?

[quote]This is a copy paste of a document I have written containing all of the information about the Rise of Iron expansion that you will want to know. There isn't any information about the story and lore, it's all info about what you can expect gameplay wise. It's all really rough/ semi-thorough-ish... notes. This whole thing is a giant SPOILER. If i'm going to credit anyone for this barrage of information it's gonna be this bloke: https://www.youtube.com/user/MoreConsole [u]Rise of Iron Information[/u] September 20th – Tuesday Reset/ 2am PT (Bungie) / 7:00pm AEST / 6:30pm ACST In no particular order; [u]Archon’s Forge[/u] - Re-playable activity that becomes available after you have successfully completed the 5 mission story/ campaign. - It is recommended that you bring teammates into the Archon’s Forge. - There will be a five-minute wave of enemies. - This inevitably leads to a boss battle. - Defeat boss for exclusive Archon’s Forge loot. - There is a complete armour set for Archon’s Forge. - To start the Archon’s Forge - Find and collect the Siva offerings which are located around the Plaguelands. - These Siva offerings will drop from Splicers in the Plaguelands. - The quality of the Siva offerings that you pick up will determine the kind of encounter that you will face in the Archon’s Forge similar to the different tiers you have in the court of Oryx. - You will be required to present the offering at a console which will start a five-minute counter in which you have to clear 100% of the enemies the Forge throws at you. - There are no new mechanics in the Archons Forge. - The Archon’s Forge can drop max light level gear. (Unsure however presumably 385 light). - If you decide to bring teammates and you die in the arena you will be transported to a prison cell closed off with yellow lasers overlooking the arena. - Game Informer revealed that it is possible to get back into the arena by your teammates completing certain objectives or by spending certain currencies. What these are, are still unknown. [u]Supremacy/ Crucible/ Iron Banner[/u] - Three Modes; - 6v6 Supremacy - Inferno 6v6 Supremacy - FFA Supremacy - 4 New Maps - Lost Exit (Venus) - Floating Gardens (Venus) - Skyline (Mars) - Icarus (Mercury) PS4 Exclusive - Private Matches - Private matches will count towards daily bounties and grimoire progress but not weekly bounties and/ or quests. - You Can Edit: - Game type. - Map. - Time of day. - Score limit. - Time limit. - Light levelling. - Iron Banner - New area in Felwinter’s Peak will open up when Iron Banner launches for the first time in ROI. - The Tempered buff is being removed completely which will make getting rank 5 easier? - Shaders, Class Items & Emblems wont effect reputation gains. - When you complete an IB bounty you will receive a piece of gear (weapon/ armour). - There will be cool new skins for the ROI Iron Banner weapons. The rocket launcher for example is covered in chains and animal skins and features a decorated sight. - Trials of Osiris returning September 30th. [u]Ornaments/ Artefacts/ Class Items[/u] - You can still use and infuse old artefacts. - There are 8 different artefacts that you can collect in ROI. - Each one has a unique ability. - They are named after the 8 Iron Lords that battled to contain the Siva. - How to get them: - Visit the new vendor; Tyra Karn. - She will send you to the Plaguelands to do certain tasks. - These tasks are easy, things like patrol missions and killing enemies in the Archon’s Forge. - When you complete the tasks you get a token called the ‘Iron Lords Legacy’. - This token is obtainable once per week and is used to purchase one artefact per week. There are 8 artefacts so theoretically if none of them repeat 3 times in a week you should be able to obtain all 8 of them after roughly 2 months. - There are NO class specific artefacts this time around. - Ornaments are able to be used on legendary armour sets and exotic weapons and possible armour. - There will be 12 ornament slots in your inventory section of the menu screen. - Class Items: - Bungie are bringing back every single class item that has ever been in the game which included all of the Year 1 times with the exception of all of the Year 1 raid class items which won’t ever be brought back. - Eve Levante will be selling Chroma in ROI. - There are some ornaments used on weapons that grant them special visual effects. For example, on the Hawk-Moon, with an ornament the extra damaging shot in the chamber will cause the weapon to quote; “explode with luminosity”. [u]Raid – ‘Wrath of The Machine’[/u] - Will be released on September the 23rd or 3 days after the initial release of the ROI expansion. - It is focused on teamwork and mobility. - The main theme of the raid is so called ‘collision’. - The ROI will increase light to 385, the hard raid will bring that up to the maximum of 400. - There is a Siva pulse rifle which has Outlaw and Mini Wolfpack Rounds which activate on headshots. - This weapon is an exotic. - There are raid gear sets which are Siva themed hence the red colour. - There will be a raid ornament which makes this gear have actual flames emerge. - The raid is located around the cosmodrome walls and there is gameplay of guardian’s running from a giant mechanical boss trying to run them down on top of the cosmodrome wall. - Note: If the idea is to run then the artefact which eliminates sprint cooldowns would be ideal. - Bungie have noted that the mechanics in the raid will be very important and it will be key that you are able to master them very quickly. They also stated that being a higher light level will definitely provide that edge to let you be able to survive that little bit longer. [u]Strikes / Missions[/u] - Completing strikes and nightfall strikes can possible reward you with a Skeleton Key. - The Skeleton key is used at the end of a strike on a chest known as a Hoard chest. - These chests guarantee you the strike exclusive gear at the end of a strike. - New strikes: - Retched Eye (New) - Kill the boss by killing the blind ogre’s servant. - Devils Lair (Remastered – Siva Theme) - Summoning Pits/ Abomination Heist (Remastered) [u]Gear/ Exotics/ Items/ Xur[/u] - New exotics: - Trespasser (Sidearm) - Burst fire sidearm. - Effective at mid to close range. - Fast reload and excellent range. - Siva Pulse Rifle - Heat seeking wolf-pack rounds on headshot kill. - Outlaw perk. - Thorn (Quest) - Gjallarhorn (Quest) - Iron Gjallarhorn - Nemesis Star (Machine Gun) - Exotic Perk possibly range related. - Fast rate of fire. - Khvostov7G-02 - Highly customizable. - In order to acquire the quest to obtain this item you will be required to have an item known as a Khovostov7G-02 weapon part.

Alternatively, they can also be acquired from dismantling a Khovostov7G-02 assuming that the player has held on to it. - The quest becomes available to everyone after they have completed the five mission story. - As for Exotic Armour: There really isn't much information about exotic armour, however if you want to see some of the armour that was found in the Destiny DB click this link and search for it I wont be doing the work this time :P http://destinydb.com/article/940/new-armor-in-destinys-rise-of-iron - More Console notes that the Vex Mythoclast won't release in Y3 however it is currently being discussed for the future! - Iron Lord Set: - Must complete tasks in a ROI record book like moments of triumph. - When you complete enough activities you unlock: - Full Iron Lord Set. - Multiple emblems. - A shader. - Iron song ghost shell. - Radiant Treasure/ Silver Dust - They will contain ornaments. - Only one per week is obtainable from the Siva Crisis Heroic strike playlist. - Silver dust can be obtained by dismantling these ornaments. - Silver dust is a new currency in the game similar to silver which can be used to purchase things from Tess Everis like the white and gold, Iron Gjallarwing. - Silver dust can be used to purchase new Artefacts. - They add colour filters to the game e.g. one of them adds a sepia tint to your gameplay while another adds a blue tint. - The Lens Artefacts are purely aesthetic. - You can also purchase ornaments from xur using this silver dust. - Three of coins will transfer over from TTK. - Swords: - It was confirmed by Deej that there will be new sword's coming in the ROI expansion. - It is still unknown as to what these ‘swords’ could possibly be. - Splicer Key drops in patrol are used to open locked doors.

[u]Event’s / Activities/ Misc Info[/u] - In October the festival of the lost will be returning. - New quests and masks will be available in this event. - SRL will return in December with new racing tracks and a new way of ‘racing’ incorporating gun fights more so into the races themselves because players weren’t happy about the simple, ‘racing concept’. - SRL will have something for players that don’t enjoy racing. - There were very small hints that the space that opens up for Iron Banner in Felwinter’s Peak could possibly be used for other events. - The Plaguelands will feature their take on calcified fragments and ghost shells. It has been speculated that the dormant Siva cluster is what that could possibly be as seen in gameplay. Artefacts is the correct Aus spelling. [i]Cheeky Rant: Bungie. Bungie. Bungie. Why the -blam!-. Do we not have exotic boots yet???????????[/i].[/quote] Good stuff. Glad you noted the launch time for us Aussies :)

[quote] [i]Cheeky Rant: Bungie. Bungie. Bungie. Why the -blam!-. Do we not have exotic boots yet???????????[/i].[/quote] I swear they said warlocks are getting exotic boots in RoI. I think the Transversive Steps or whatever they were called that were removed from the database.

Is the exotic pulse rifle the raid weapon?

Any other news from bungie concerning the tease in the GI video about stored legendary and exotic engrams [i]maybe[/i] turning into new light level exotics and new legendary weapons an armor?

Next week I will erase Destiny from my PS4. I have sunk 2 years into it and it is still not worth it. How can AAA dev team be so stupid and blind? The mechanics in PvE are still stupid and PvP is still laging. Edit: Ok, I will not erase it, because I want to play private matches. But most strikes are still primitive linear smash / run through tunnels. You feel like a rat in a skinner box. I enjoy playing against mobs with some kind of intelligence or at least nice mechanics. Or challanges you can only solve by using a special setup. Also the light level system is still completely broken. They just hide that fact by allowing us to infuse immediatly to the max lightlevel. I still get tons of 30x blue engrams with my 334..5 characters. None is above 310. Bungie devs just can't come up with a working formula that brings you to max light in a reasonable time. Their solution was to shortcut the process. My guess is Destiny 2s progression system will be as broken as this one. I wrote a year ago how to do it: The loot for an infusion system needs to be distributed around your current light level. There should be a normal distribution of +/- 5. In that case you will have a steady progression to max lvl whatever you do. You will also have enough materials to unlock nodes/perks. Instead of removing elemental primaries (why is there still a Zhalo Supercell btw. ?), they could have introduced mobs with double shields, so people in a fireteam have to coordinate their efforts to remove those shields with two primary weapons of different elements. Why aren't there puzzels in the PvE strikes? Why do we always end up using our ghost only to open doors? Why can't we still switch its light on? Do the devs really think Eris Morns line "and in his dying breath the Traveller gave birth to ghosts .. to open doors" is funny? They laugh about their own incompetence to do something creative with it? Rant over. smh

Good thing i have 3 khovostovs

So, when i get an ornament, is it a "One and done" kinda thing, or is it infinite? Plz help.

Is there any general word on how infusing is going to carry over? Is everything just moving forward? Any confirmation on old stuff that wasn't brought forward for the Taken King coming back? Thanks

How will ornaments work? Will any ornament be applicable to any armor?

Still not buying RoI. Same shit since TDB and Bungie just doesn't care. I'll have more fun playing private matches with friends then all the rest of the BS in RoI. People getting excited for incoming resets and nerfs are -blam!-ing insane.

You missed icebreaker returning. I know it's not been confirmed but if it doesn't happen I will shit the bed.

Momey hungry activision, all this already in the main game no add on added xD 2funny

Since taken king will have its own strike section does that mean the Heroic play list will only be 3 strikes over and over again ?

Will there be increased vault space?

What is that lense artifact exactly? Can't find any info on it apart from it being sold and is cosmetic

I'm pretty sure you're only kicked from archons forge only if you aren't resurrected by a teammate

QUESTION REGARDING ORNAMENTS! My favorite weapon is the hung jury. Will year two weapons get the option to have an ornament? I would love to be able to change how it looks.
