Rise of Iron stuff

[Diddums 4,336]

So Thorn's apparently making a comeback. The Khvostov (the first weapon you get your hands on in the game) is making a comeback as an exotic which is customizeable to the extreme. Word on the street is that you'll not only be able to swap between full auto / burst / single shot, but also change the rate of fire. Then there's Jellyhorn who's coming back too. I can't wait for this, I've been playing a bit of Density the last few days and it's been thoroughly enjoyable again. 

 

Can't post links as I'm at work, maybe someone else can?

This video pretty much covers everything.

Arekkz Rise of Iron update

There is some really exciting things happening again and I sense the buzz is coming around once more.

 

 

[GazzaGarratt 11,004]

Heres the hype you've all been waiting for....

Summary so far:

Max level of 385 - then 400 for HM Raid (Wrath of the Machine)

Sept. 23 raid launch date

8 new class-agnostic artifacts that allow for special buffs to characters

Memory of Radeghast: adds a new ability for sword heavy weapons to reflect projectiles, including ogre blasts and crucible rockets.

Memory of Perun: adds ability to highlight guardians with full super in yellow, and guardians with low health in red.

Memory of Jolder: removes sprint cooldown

Memory of Silmar: dramatically reduces any damage dealt by DoT effects (such as Thorn poison).

Memory of Felwinter: lose your super, but gain an extra grenade and melee, and boost to all stats.

Memory of Gheleon: gain detailed radar at all times, including when aiming a primary (grants precision radar and third eye).

Memory of Skorri: speeds super recharge for all nearby allies.

Memory of Timur: Melee an enemy for a chance to make them an ally for a short time.

Adding more cosmetic adjustments for armor AND weapons

The Iron Lord armor set will come from a Rise of Iron Record Book

IB reinvented, 4 new maps. No more tempered, less rep needed overall. No more rep bonuses from gear.

IB - each bounty completed will reward you with an IB weapon or armor piece via /u/gangledupjoe

Radiant Treasures: Confirmed Microtransactions for Ornaments. Radiant Treasures seem to be the new version of Sterling Treasure. Obtainable on a weekly basis for completing goals and then also through Eververse. via /u/YendysWv

Bungie HINTS AT CUSTOM MATCHES, aka the feature "Our community has been clammoring for."

New Faction (NM, FWC, DO) armor sets, sparrows, ghost shells.

Thorn is getting a quest to obtain it, just like Gjallarhorn.

The Kvostov 7G-0X is a new exotic auto rifle with a fire mode selector. It can basically be a scout, pulse, Suros Regime, or bullet hose. Also acquired from a quest.

Sepiks prime is back as Sepiks Perfected . And The Summoning Pits will be the Abomination Heist .

Festival of Light returning in October

SRL Back in December

SRL/MoT type book to track progress of ROI

New Cruicible mode - "Supremacy" - kill enemies to make them drop a crest. Your team only scores if someone (you or a teammate) picks up that crest. Enemy team members can also pick up the crest to deny your score, but they won’t gain any points themselves.

"Archon's Forge" - basically new Court of Oryx. They have adjusted the summoned encounters to last longer --"around five minutes" and the drops used to summon the various possible difficulties come from Patrol. via /u/YendysWv

PS Exlusive Map - Finally, this year’s PlayStation exclusive map is Icarus, a solar-collection site on Mercury. The arena is the raised structure at the center of the much larger crater-like array. Its circular shape inevitably funnels into furious conflagrations at the center.

When Speaking on Exotics, "These Include the long- awaited arrival of Warlock exotic boots (finally!), a new sidearm reminiscent of the classic RoboCop gun, and a SIVA-themed pulse rifle that blossoms out a cloud of seeking energy for a successful precision kill."

every class item that has ever shown up in Destiny is returning to circulation with the exception of items from previous raids

Class Items can change color via shader

All Year Two weapons and armor can be infused to Rise Of Iron stats

There are quest lines after the main story missions leading up to the new strikes via /u/YendysWV

Skeleton Keys are rewards from completing strikes whether it be a nightfall, playlist or just chosen from the director and Strike Hoard chests are chest that appear at the end of any strike where you can use the Skeleton key to get a guaranteed piece of strike specific loot.

Wow, that sounds like a pretty good update. May well be tempted to give this a whirl for 25 quid. Especially as I haven't done any of the content from the last free update. I like the idea of revamped redundant strikes too.

[GazzaGarratt 11,004]

Felwinter's artefact looks ace for running around with a shotgun. Shame PvP bias is towards scout rifles atm.

This whole update looks really exciting....and custom games a potential??! With all of us in that would be so much fun.

[Plumbers Crack 4,055]

Really looking forward to this now!
