Orb generation is now capped to a maximum of 8 orbs at once when wearing exotic armor items that increase orb spawning rates

So I haven't really used any pieces of armor with that perk in a while, but..Isn't being able to put out more than 8 orbs sort of the point?

I think you'll generate 5 instead of four still when killing a major. But you'll stay capped at 8 instead of 9 if you do some more killing.

eh, it was only 1 extra orb in my experience and you also got to pop out more orbs per kill

very useful for hunters since their orb generation capability seemed lower than other classes

Yeah, now it's not about dropping more, it's about dropping 8 faster and with fewer kills.

Ace of Spades sounds loving awesome and potential for infinite ammo. Altho handguns are nerfed to poo poo. We'll see how they perform tho.

Yet. Yet, goddamnit. They've said they'll continue trickling out updated y1 exotics over the course of TTK.

Hopefully. What this really means is we'll get like 4 more when Destiny 2.1 comes out, and maybe half a dozen more with TTK:whatever they call this years HoW





I just really want a updated HL to tool around and enjoy the new changes with.

If the armory as shown is a comprehensive list of everything for year 2, here is a full rundown on Exotics getting carried over:

Weapons

Thunderlord
Truth
SUROS Regime
Monte Carlo
The 4th Horseman
Invective
The Last Word
Hawkmoon

Titan armor

No Backup Plans
ACD/0 Feedback Fence
Ruin Wings
An Insurmountable Skullfort
Crest of Alpha Lupi
The Armamentarium
Ruin Wings
Eternal Warrior
Helm of Inmost Light
Helm of Saint-14
Glasshouse
Peregrine Greaves
Mk. 44 Stand Asides

Warlock

Heart of the Praxic Fire
Purifier Robes
Starfire Protocol
Voidfang Vestments
Sunbreakers
Apotheosis Veil
Nothing Manacles
Light Beyond Nemesis
Obsidian Mind
Skull of Dire Ahamkara
The Ram
Claws of Ahamkara

Pretty sure that's it, although I may have listed one of the new Ahamkara pieces, there are so many that it's confusing.

No weapons or armor (yet). Material that gives better rewards if you defeat Oryx with at least 20 of them(!).

There's probably some omissions because The Stranger's Rifle is gone, too.

Purifier Robe now gives increased Armor with solar class. Lucky Raspberry same with Arc class. I guess lots of pieces are going to have the (nerfed) Ram capability now, plus other perks that actually match your build.

Fabian Strategy gives you a reason to play a reckless, auto respawn Sunsinger rather than go for reduced damage.

Next week, probably. People are going to be doing lots of xp grinding and if the old missions give bonus xp finding people to play with should be easy.

On the other hand, the story missions are pretty easy and you can solo burn through them without a lot of fuss.

One loving line in the patch notes for Titans(2 if you count the Insurmountable Skullfort), they give no shits about Titans at all. I'm going all in on Hunter for Year 2.

It should be pretty easy at the beginning, assuming everyone has those new quest lines unfilled, regardless of level.

Looks like all the exotic arms have two reload perks, so you can get your pick of a specific primary AND a specific special OR heavy.

Edit: Correction, you pick between the primary or special/heavy options.

like almost all of the new exotics own really loving hard or at least have the potential to be rad as gently caress. good job bungie. also missing from the armory is luke smith's stated favorite new exotic "a touch of malice" so i feel like there will be more of them dumped into the game next tuesday when TTK actually drops

I know, but I was all excited to pick HL back up right now and if that's the plan it'll be at least three months before it has another chance. Should be fun for this week, at least.
