Looks like a step in the right direction. Waiting to watch it on youtube after work. Re-rolling weapons gives a reason to buy some of the vendor stuff that I would never have bought because of the crappy perks or to not instantly break down crappy gear that we get from vanguard/crucible/faction packages. Take a chance to see if they can get a better roll. I would have preferred being able to craft gear to my liking, but re-rolling will do.
I read somewhere re-rolling is only for new HoW items. We'll see...
Should be interesting
Re-rolling only impacts new HoW weapons, not old weapons. You can upgrade old weapons to the new attach value but can't re-roll the perks. Not really a big deal, if you've gotten a crap roll on a weapon prior to HoW you probably already dismantled it for energy anyway.
I was pretty happy about the changes to the economy. I also liked that they went out of their way to make some new models.
I'm also pretty happy I don't have to where that dumb ruffled collar on my warlock anymore
I like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ... I don't mind looking like one :)
Can't wait to explore the new space!
what has me curious is this
what will happen to eris? her only usful function was trading radient materials, but if you noticed the speaker will now do all material trades, ie
ascedent matrials, motes and radient
If you listen to Eris, she says things like "I don't know what to do anymore." and other related statements indicating she's no longer needed - since you killed Crota. She also says there will be other challenges coming.
interesting, i very rarely listen to the jibberish anymore, but good catch!
Is there no vault on the reef?
What he said. They look like 2 refrigerators
I was kind of drunk so I found it hard to navigate.
I thought the Reef vaults looked like a couple of old vending machines whose contents are way past the expiration date.
I really dig what they are doing with the new armor & weapons now. They don't need Ascendant materials to upgrade anymore, and you get full damage/defense from jump. You just use the experience to unlock the abilities of said armor/weapon.
But my question though....what the hell are we supposed to do to get ascendant materials now? New HoW purple items don't break down to ascendant materials supposedly. I'd like to keep and "ascend" all of my purple armor so far to the highest level possible because hell...I did the work to upgrade it all. And some of my armor is spiffy looking. With the speaker you need energy to exchange for shards and vice versa.....so.....useless if you don't have any ascendant materials at all to begin with.
I finished 10 different events while on patrol and only got the planet-based materials, no ascendant stuff. And I don't want to break down all my legendary armor/weapons. I spent time grinding to upgrade it all and I'd like to keep them.
What I don't like....is the fact that when the new updates roll out, all the vendors stock changes completely. Why not just have them cycle through different inventory sets like the bounty board does? They can upgrade all the armor/weapons that have been sold so far to be the same as the newest armor. That way we have more variety to choose from armor-wise instead of 2 of each piece. It just seems like all that stuff disappears into oblivion when the updates drop.
Awesome. Thanky.
