    Out of curiosity, I skimmed through my Destiny stats on Bungie.net. I am just under 30 Skolas completions. And just under 200 raids.

    You checked this via Grimoire stats?

    Mine:
    9x Skolas
    207x raids (98 VoG, 167 CE)

    Edit: I have no idea what funky math they're doing to determine a "completion" of a raid, but you'd expect the "Raids Introduction" stat to be the sum of the "Vault of Glass" and "Crota's End" stat, no?

    What's with some of those "year 2" exotics? Are we getting a Badder Juju and a Thundererlord?

    Maybe it's just placeholder for now.

    Oh yeaah... well... I ran 711 Public Events. Ah!

    I wish there was a bounties counter.

    Edit: Wait, there is one for patrol missions! 434 VIP kills and 4203 patrol missions. Oh lord...

    I interpreted it to mean they were ascended in some fashion?

    I added up "Activities Cleared" on the stats page for each of my characters for the raids completions. For Skolas, I looked through my PoE game history for all of the Skolas's Revenge activities.

    I have no idea how to find that information in the grimoire. Maybe it doesn't count a run if you already completed it earlier that week?

    Either we can ascend Exotics or we can get them over again with Y2 stats.

    Either way, people will bitch.

    Except their are pictures of old exotics with Monte Carlo, Bad Juju and Thunderlord among them.

    Seems to imply that if not upgradable then newly dropped exotics will be different than old.

    Actually, there aren't enough blanks for all the year 1 exotics shown in just that picture.

    So it looks like there will be a culling.

    Wait, there are four more spaces off to the right for Year 2 Primaries.

    Uhm.....and the list at the bottom is missing Year 1, there should be 15 total (if Fate of All Fools and Vesta is included) and there is only 11.

    I've been holding a Bad Juju bounty for a while now, with the idea that it might just turn into a year 2 version if I wait to finish it.

    The first couple months of Crota clears didn't count on the Raids Intro card.

    ....and their are only five slots for Year 2 Heavy which means either no new Heavy Exotics (which we know is not true) or somebody isn't making the cut.

    I can't decide if that means Gjallarhorn has a 100% chance of being in or a 0%.

    It or Dragon's Breath should really really go. There is no way those two items are comparable.

    That screen might just be a mock up, too.

    What is effectively year 2 vanilla Destiny might not be ready for a primetime reveal yet, if year 1 was any indication.

    To me, that looks like I need to re-collect the exotics. Which, if true, isn't the worst thing but is kinda shitty to be thrown back into the RNG wagon again. I'd rather they have a simple quest to upgrade each exotic, similar to the exotic bounties. Something non-trivial but not beholden to RNG drops again.

    I'll be bummed if I need to re-collect them all. I got a No Land Beyond from Crota last night so I'm almost done (just need 1 more cipher and Mythoclast and stupid Husk of the Pit).

    Which might be tied to the new Gunsmith stuff. Tomorrow shall reveal all... some... a little.

    I believe I remember hearing about that before. I think it's the glowy red thing in the bottom-right slot of the Hunter you have a screenshot of. New slot for an item that does...something.


    Level 25 is lower than I expected. I figured the free boost per account would be 30. But I guess the first missions in Taken King will be level 25? That's sort of unfortunate.

    I'm sure that just as House of Wolves (and the rest of the game), you will be able to bump up the level if you want a bigger challenge and maybe some Motes (or whatever they decide to use in TTK). Though it's kind of funny considering the HoW story missions are 26... maybe the TTK ones will all be 26? Then again, they are adjusting the previous story missions so who knows.

    Exciting times ahead...

    Yeah the different demos of the first mission (the attack on Phobos) that they have showed previously have the normal enemies being level 25 or 26, I can't remember which.

    So that's a thing where the Gunsmith has bounties (and rep!) now; if you complete everything he has for you in a week, you can "order" a weapon from him (comes with random perks) that shows up a few days later. I guess the day your legendary (sometimes exotic?) arrives is "Armsday."

    The Oryx stream isn't about the raid itself. It's about the Patrols & Public Events on the Dreadnaught. The one before that is about the strike.

    I doubt Bungie would spoil the raid at all.
