Activities World Year 1 Activities have been converted into Quest system Year One Questlines do not require ownership of The Taken King (Godd@mned right they don't) You can replay the story for more experience and reputation by looking at the Quest Collections in the Tower The Ghost is now voiced by Nolan North (and It's [b]WORSE.[/b] Nice one bungie.) Fallen Wolf Hunt Patrols will retreat in anticipation of the arrival of Oryx in our solar system (Just like the blades of crota huh?) Fixed an issue where "Medic" and "Blast Shield" PVP medals displayed while playing PVE activities (overall removal of content and a new terrible voice actor for the character that follows you around where ever you go.) Strikes Players now are required to participate in the boss fights to be eligible for end-of-activity loot. (okay that's good) Bonus Loot and Reputation can now be earned via Vanguard Streak Bonuses for players who continue to recycle back into the Strike playlist without exiting to Orbit (great) Burn (Arc, Void, Solar) Skulls now only increases player damage by 2x (down from 3x). Combatant damage to player is unchanged at 3x. (WHAT. WHY?!?! MORE STUPID STUFF THAT [b]NO ONE ASKED FOR[/b]. Bungie you are just doing this to make end-game content take longer aren't you?) Fixed an issue where the incident for completing a strike (i.e., earning the "Strikes Introduction" grimoire card) was not triggering in Strike playlists Prison of Elders Fixed an issue where the “Servitor Bonds Weakened” buff did not clear when Skolas is pushed into phase 2 Fixed an issue where the web mine FX extended beyond effect area Fixed an issue where the rewards for Skolas’s Revenge does not grant "Hildian Seeker" to players who already have Ceres Galliot (well thank god) Glimmer Consumable drop rates reduced drastically from the Arena chest Removed the Elder Cipher exotic bounty These exotics now have a chance to drop from the large chest in the Queen’s Arena Players who were on any step of the elder cipher should receive a token to redeem at Variks for their choice of House of Wolves exotic weapon (Ok. elder cipher was just a time sink in order to make getting poe exotics harder, this is good. bravo bumgie) King's Fall King's Fall Raid will unlock on 09/18/15, 10AM Pacific (and apparently, the raid is level 41-42. Are you really repeating the skolas mistake bungie??!) Quests Quest Screen added to Menu The Quest Screen allows you to view all active Quests Quests may be abandoned, but they are recoverable at Abandoned Quest Archives at the Tower Each Quest has a Details Screen that describes the current and previous quest steps Up to four Quests can now be viewed in the Director and while in Nav Mode Year One Activities have been converted into Quest system New Questlines have been added for each Year One Subclass Reputation panel has been moved from the Inventory screen to the Quest Screen (all good here) Bounties Bounty slot size increased to 16 Incomplete Year 1 Bounties are auto-abandoned on 09/08 in preparation for The Taken King launch Incomplete Year 1 Exotic Bounties are auto-completed at their respective Vendors Bounties are now turned in for completion reward via the Quest Screen Bounties can now be tracked via the new Progress UI in NavMode Eris Year 1 bounties will be retired.

Loot announcements now appear in the Tower, but have a maximum range of 10 meters (... What does this even mean?) Gunsmith Starting on 09/09, reputation will be earned with Banshee-44 by using his Field Test Weapons Speaker New Ghosts are on sale with the Speaker Year One Emblems have been moved to Eva Levante Factions Faction Emblems are no longer purchasable but will come from faction packages instead Former Vanguard emblems are now unlocked at level 10 and 20 of their respective class quest chains Crota’s Bane Eris’ bounties have been retired as her ire shifts from Crota to Oryx and his Dreadnaught Eris reputation can now be earned weekly by killing bosses in the Crota’s End raid, or through new methods to be discovered in The Taken King’s new destination Eris’ reputation requirements for each rank have been adjusted to be faster Characters will retain any rank they currently have with Eris Eris’ reputation is no longer capped at Rank 4, and players will receive reward packages for Rank increases Players will be able to earn rewards by continuing to level up the Crota’s Bane reputation Queen’s Wrath With the launch of The Taken King, Petra will have new bounties available in the Reef upon completing a new quest These bounties will also drop a Treasure Key the first time one is completed each week (good) Overall this update has gone to complete garbage. Let's continue through this hell and onto part 5:
