    I rebooted my system and the Destiny update went from 6 hours to 9. Start and stop the download and it goes to 22.

    Stop giving me bad advice, thread!

    I would pay cashmoney for some sort of indicator on shaders/emblems/ships/sparrows in shops that indicated you have already collected them.

    Time to make another list!

    EDIT: Also I guess we have to buy one of the new Ghost Shells? Both the base one and the package one from way back when are def 3, speaker has 160/170/180's. :(

    And I don't imagine there's a good reason to work through the story quests again before next Tues, due to XP being capped?

    EDIT: Before it's asked, hovering over the normal difficulty of any of the raids still shows the popup for the "Difficult" version.

    This is happening to me now, too. My download slowed to a crawl and hard restarts only make it worse. I'm back at 25 hours left now.

    We're reading Rifts. You should too. You know you want to. Now With Ninjas!

    ok, so weird little thing there. took a bounty to 'get 10,000XP without dying', only for it not to increase at all from kills. completing other bounties* however did contribute towards it, unlike with the old 9K XP bounty.

    *went back to the Tower to turn these in and didn't see the option at the vendor. took me a sec to remember you can complete them from the menu.

    Guess that definitively answers the questions about light still acting as a soft/hard gate. You can max out at 40 but if your light(item level) isn't high enough it still won't let you in.

    Hrm, I really don't want to waste quest XP. Maybe I'll just take a break for the week; I'm gonna be too tempted to do things and I don't want to blow the campaign XP for nothing.

    Do I have to create an entirely new character for this? Or can I just go back and do the quest?

    Sounds like you can just redo quests now

    Check your inventory, my Stranger's Rifle auto-updated to the legendary version.

    Can confirm.

    I wonder if the Stranger's Rifle has been upgraded and allowed to ascend so it can be used in a quest or something...like the quest to get that exotic "No Time to Explain" which was the exotic version of the Stranger's Rifle with the Blackhammer style perk... :P

    I believe the Year 2 version has that perk. Theoretically you could buy that version if you had Legendary Marks, which you can't get yet.

    its for your sub-class, you should have two, but i think you can only progress the quest like for the sub-class you have active at that time.

    I just unlocked mine in-game using the Abandonned Quest system. I redid the quest chain and unlocked the new version of her rifle. Good stuff! I actually had some fun doing it.

    Since I'm still downloading, I guess I'll give my thoughts on all the patch notes and balance changes and new exotics and all that. Spoilered for length:
    • Improved Sunbreakers! Yay!
    • Dragon's Breath is not moving into Year 2. Boo!

    Look in the abandoned quest terminal down near Zavala (right side) you have to do the quest chain again.

    One big complaint about the UI, they seemingly removed the different Factions Rep from the menu, I have everything else under Quests but not Dead Orbit, New Monarchy or Future War Cult.

    It is extremely annoying not being able to see my rep when I'm trying to edge it for TTK.

    Its under quests, but the 3 big factions arent there, I bought FWC's expensive gimmick and now I can see their rep, its near maxed... I want my glimmer back, I still cant see Dead Orbit or New Monarchy, why can I only change this stupid thing once per week?

    I liked the old way better right now, then I could actually see what the fuck my rep is at all times, this shit feels a beta for factions right now.

    I deleted the 2500 glimmer FWC allegiance thing so I dont rank up before next week and now I cant buy the New Monarchy one which is the lowest rep one I needed to raise, until next fucking week!?

    Those marks aren't being removed until Tuesday when TTK hits, from what Bungie has said before.

    I can see thinking it's dumb, but they did announce in several places that you could only change/do factions once a week.

    Kinda funny/annoying that the new system supposedly allows you to wear a non-faction class item now, but then the new faction quest requires you to equip the faction emblem, shader and class item.

    I have been quite happy to patiently wait for the legendary edition to hit next week and then I saw Fury Road and now I really want that Mad Max game.

    But I am gritting my teeth and holding on for another week (it's been months since I got a new game, so I'm fairly bored).

    Glad to hear all these changes seem to have made for a very improved experience. I imagine this will be like jumping into an MMO for the first time after they've released an expansion.
