(First of all, let me start by saying that this is in no way official. Secondly, I know a vocal minority of you hate reskins, but take a minute to think. Isn't EVERYTHING in life a 'reskin' in one way or another? Just think about it. That brand new car you want so much - just a reskin of last year's model, etc. So if you don't have anything nice to say, at least structure your criticism well. That being said...) EDIT: 11/Dec/2016 Moved to #feedback as per multiple requests. [b]3.0.0 The one You've All Been Waiting For[/b] [b]Items[/b] - [i]Collections[/i] -- A Raid Kiosk has been added near the Vanguard table. --- Contains all unlocked Raid Gear and Weapons, both Normal and Heroic versions. --- Also contains Prison of Elders Gear. --- Gear costs 30 Legendary Marks and comes at 300 Light, can be infused. -- Added Spektar and Desolate gear to the Event Kiosk. --- These cost 5 Silver Dust each and also come at 300 Light. -- Added a Crucible Kiosk near Lord Shaxx. --- Contains all obtained Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris gear and weapons. --- Like the Raid Kiosk, they come at 300 Light, and cost 30 Legendary Marks. --- The armors also come with Twist Fate. (Iron Banner gear costs 15 Relic Iron and 10 Marks, and Trials gear costs 15 Passage Coins and 10 Marks) - [i]Raid Gear[/i] -- All heroic armor now comes with Twist Fate. --- Twist Fate costs 5 Raid Materials from the respective Raid. (Prison of Elders gear takes 15 Planetary Materials, and 10 Legendary Marks). --- Vault of Glass and Crota's End armor now has "Heroic" Versions. --- Vault of Glass armor is named Axis (gear name here) and Crota's End armor is called Ascendant (gear name here) --- King's Fall Heroic Primary Weapons also get elemental burns. --- Wrath of the Machine gear can obtain a burn by offering the gear to the Gunsmith in addition to 30 Siva Key Fragments and an elemental Primary with the burn you want. (This consumes the Elemental Primary.) -- Twist Fate perk also added to Spektar and Desolate gear. (10 Marks, 15 Materials) - [i]Other Gear[/i] -- Added an Infusion node to ALL equipment, both old and new. --- Removed "Upgrade Damage", "Upgrade Defense" and "Ascend" upgrade nodes in preparation for this. --- Choose between perks or Light when infusing. Either infuse the gear to a new Light Level, or spend double the marks and materials and copy the perks from the weapon you are consuming.
