•Existing Legendary gear on display in the Tower will be replaced
•New Legendary gear will feature higher Attack and Defense values
Thoughts? I'm curious whether these will simply be "upgraded" versions of current items with higher attack/defense but same perks, etc, or entirely new things. Speculation welcome.
(more specifically, I'm wondering if I should rush to get New Monarchy rank 3 and finally buy that Vanquisher for PVP and not open my package until the 9th, or try NOT to level hoping that will make sure I get a commendation and then I can get an all-around better, vanquisher V2. Advice welcome)
-
From the YouTube footage I have seen of the new strike the vanguard weapons will be new - although they look similar to what's currently on sale but with re-skins & perks. For example a gun which looks v much like Dr nope (with black paint job) has been shown off, the devil you know is now 'the devil you don't'. Visually I much prefer the new look!
-
Let's hope they rebalance where PVE gear is sold, or add vanguard marks to the factions. Otherwise crucible gets flooded with AFKs grinding out marks.
-
So wait they are getting rid of old legendaries all together? I thought it would make more sense to add new gear not just update the stats of current gear. Now there is no climb just lvl 24 to 30 like that
-
Hopefully its all new gear. All new look, all new names.
-
They go on steroids
-
Will the sell gear capable of level 30? I was wondering that is what the commendations are for
-
How about you wait and see lol
-
Now they will ask would you like fries with that. Lol or do you want to super size that.
-
NOTE: Advice to people, due to the way the new system works when you level up your reputation after the 9th (Vanguard and Crucible) you receive a commendation medal/coin that you can redeem for a piece of light 30 (level 30) gear. So if your close to ranking up to your next level hold up on those booty's (bounties) a little longer.
-
They will provide us 31 lvl gear.
-
They will make VoG raid gear obsolete muhahaha >:D
-
New comers will have it easy just to buy gear that is equivalent to the weeks you spent grinding the raid hahahaha
-
Will prices remain the same? I have 65 marks and 200 rep off a vanguard rank up on my 29 warlock. Will I be able to get him to 30 almost instantly? Just need gauntlets.
-
Am I doing the right thing not upgrading my exotic helmet and waiting to get the upgrade from xur first?

Edited by AnAmericanCtzn: 12/8/2014 1:37:42 PMThey revealed vangaurd stuff at playstation experience the max light on vangaurd gear is 33 and gets you to 31 and it's all newly designed gear not too sure about the weapons tho
-
I'm interested to see if the starting light level will be the same but the top end higher, or if it will start higher and climb slightly higher, assume the later of the two.
-
Supposedly they are swapping them out with a complete new set of gear
-
are they gona take our marks that we have , or is it safe to keep them tell update then use them ?
-
Edited by KAG3_S31SH1N: 12/7/2014 10:37:19 PMFrom what i hear all vendors and items within those vendors will update to slightly more powerful versions. I'm not sure if they replace the existing items or simply 'add' the new ones in. As for engrams, i doubt they'll be affected as Bungie would've warned us to use them before the update (as they did with the Cryp update). It would also seem that your current legendary gear (((Won't))) update like the exotics do and you'll have to either buy the newer versions or wait for Bungie to address this issue and offer a 'Legendary Upgrade System' which i could see using MOL (Motes of Light) to upgrade as they have been rendered semi-useless (unless you love buying all the aesthetic crap the Speaker has for sale) after Xur removed the Exotic Engram from his inventory.
-
Anyone know if it's alright to hold on to Legendary engrams and not open faction and Cryptarch parcels in hopes of getting the new legendary items?
-
So what do you guys recommend regarding getting the vanquisher?
-
Edited by namaste: 12/7/2014 8:48:15 PMI am leveling all of my vanguard/faction to the cusp of ranking and waiting till Tuesday to get the rewards and the token or whatever that allows you buy an item, otherwise you will have to rank up again to get this item. Just wait and keep any exotic bounties or engrams till then too.
-
I hope most of it looks different not just reskinned
-
I'm waiting for v2 cus there's no way of boosting legendaries up
