Alright, cutscene skip makes anything questionable entirely worthwhile.
EDIT: And now I completely regret not getting the Iconoclastic Berzerknaners emblems from year 1. They will forever stare me in the face when I look at my emblem collection.
Class items becoming actually pertinent for gameplay was a bad change
The best item to use right now is a 160 defense blue item
Not, you know, any of the legendary quality awesome ones you own, which may vary randomly anywhere between 135 defense and 140
So we're all stuck with shitty looking blue items for what should be exclusively vanity items
Ditto for Ghosts.
But where are you getting a 160def one?
EDIT: The whole thing with class items and ghost shells was one step forward one step back. Yay no longer need them for factions, boo now it doesn't even matter because you still have to use the 'best' and not what you like.
If they're going to do that they need to make every one upgradable to the 'cap' if you want to sacrifice higher def ones to your favorites.
EDIT EDIT: oh, a 180 one from a quest reward for level 30 looks like.

I don't know, actually
I was just looking at the highest light people in the tower, and 169 seemed to be the best, with the only different item being a blue 160 defense class item
Not sure where it came from, though.

Nothing I'm reading in this thread makes me want to play the game right now.

It's actually killing my hype for TTK.
Never underestimate the power of minor quibbling!
Seriously though, there are some head scratchers, for sure; but I'm hoping most, if not all, works itself out with the actual TTK launch.
Some things, though, like the class items/ghost shells having stats, I really hope they recant or at least provide some means to actually customize instead of having to use the 'best'.
Tons and tons of really awesome stuff though. Don't be swayed!
Was the special delivery girl gone now? I should be able to get the Limited Edition Ghost from her now... If I could find her.
I remember her having a kiosk between the new shader and emblem kiosks.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news....they said a few days ago that if you wanted to keep your Frontier Shell Ghost (it isnt good defense or anything) you needed to make sure you still had one in your inventory and not delete it because for some reason they cant get it added to the kiosk any time in the foreseeable future.

This is a good question; I actually don't have any idea. The vendor kiosk is no longer there, and she's not there either. The Ghost Shell is the only thing she can give you I don't know how to get atm. Maybe I'm missing something?
Still not getting XP on my gear. I have no idea whats up.

I'm able to sit at 170 exactly, and if I equip the 180 defense class item I can almost get to 171.
What really sucks is the frontier ghost shell is only 3 defense, so I had to buy a generic blue one to hit 170

I didnt have it a few days ago, I only got one since a friend of mine is actively sharing it now (Xbox thing), great.

Hah! I haven't done the hunter thing yet, but it's hilarious that Warlocks get a 180def class item and Titans get a 160! :rotate:
I suspect the 180 wasn't intentional. That's level 36 quality.

Also, i'm looking to do the Nightfall sometime here before too long if anyone wants to join on me. PS4. Wanna try to get Legendary marks to upgrade my stranger's rifle.
Ok, I think this seals it. Bungie needs to fire their voice director. Both Dinklage and North can and have given far better performances in past roles, so it's not a question of talent. North in particular has worked with plenty of bad scripts before, too, so it's not the script.
This stupid insistence on telling the actors to "be robotic" or whatever they're telling them when they step into the recording booth is bad direction. Everything both actors is saying is understated to the point of being bland and uninteresting, and leads to so many lines sounding like they have nothing to do with the scene at all. Let them emote! Let them give the Ghost some more personality! I don't care if it is a robot, it doesn't need to deliver it's lines like one!

Warlock class quest with Ikora.
I'm honestly a little baffled they did the patch like this. I get putting it out slightly early to make sure the full launch isn't buggy as shit, but this seem very......half-baked until the full release
Hrm. I think I preferred class items being purely cosmetic; it was a way to make a visual decision about your character for purely aesthetic reasons. Now, I'll just use whatever has the highest numbers like every other character.
So, that's a bummer. A minor bummer, but a bummer.

So that number in the purple box for missions, I'm assuming those will be vanguard mark rewards when the 15th drops? If so, I don't want to miss out on the cash and I'll hold off doing them. That plus the sweet, sweet new sub-class XP...
"Now you can wear whatever you want and still gain faction rep! Except you're only going to wear the one with the best stats! Player Choice!"
Between that, shotguns and my download speed, I think they're actively trolling me.
So I just unlocked the Lord of Wolves with this patch but was it always a murder death machine? Cause it is absolutely a murder death machine and the complaints about range seem odd since it seems just about normal shotgun range for me.
I should pull out my old Verdict and see how it does.

Nothing else about the missteps in the game could temper that, they seriously look incredible and I'm so excited to use them
But there's a lot of issues and tweak they can make going forward with the game.
Edit: which isn't really any different than it has ever been.

Patrol Missions no longer grant faction rep.
Sorta sad to see that go. Still don't know if the dual vanguard/faction rep thing is in or not yet.
This is a good question; I actually don't have any idea. The vendor kiosk is no longer there, and she's not there either. The Ghost Shell is the only thing she can give you I don't know how to get atm. Maybe I'm missing something?

I thought I saw a tweet saying that patrols aren't giving their proper rewards before TTK or something to that effect?
