I selected my exotic bounties (Thorn, Bad Juju, Invective) sitting on each of my 3 characters last night
I assume they will be ready to be sharded later today .... I wonder what happens if you didn't pick a bounty before the patch? would it just auto-complete once you select which one?

looking for confirmation also that any Elder Cipher bounty did indeed auto-complete as well (should since it is an exotic bounty)

Shit. You can't field test weapons until tomorrow. That's one of the things I was looking forward to.

So let's see..I've read this thread, showered, then shaved for the first time in a week, then stared at the Nikki Bella gif for a while, read the patch notes, had a cup of coffee, stared at the gif some more....and it's still telling me I have 87 minutes left!

Gooter

Per patch notes:

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

musick

yeah, they clarified that after the original statement

Obey The D

It's says if you had a cipher you can go to Variks and "should" be able to choose whichever weapon you want.

musick

nice, thanks
don't know how I missed that

Gooter

you're just as excited as a little school girl

(...waits for Killer to post a gif...)

Obey The D

Considering the patch notes are as long as War & Peace it's not surprising. When do they release the Cliff Notes on this update?

^ I thought wrestling was about a bunch of half naked dudes grabbing at each other.

Gooter

You did NOT disappoint.

Gooter

Only in Canada.

Obey The D

I'm sorry did you say something? I'm trying to pay attention to what you asked but....breasts.

TheKing

That was back from the Attitude Era, when they had 3/4 naked women spanking eachother while covered in gravy. It was like human poutine.

Obey The D

I'm almost finished. As for my download, that still has 7GB left.

Taking the first trip to the new Tower...LIVE!

slop101

Hmm... I'm going to have to delete a game or two to make room for this update. No wonder the pre-load for Taken King is less than a gig - all the info is in this update.

JuryDuty

Wow...those are some patch notes. Pretty cool how much we'll be able to explore today. It'll be like getting a new game two weeks in a row...

cruzness

Deleted Call of Duty Advanced Warfare to make room for this. kinda funny.

astrochimp

So much for that. Didn't start until I got home and powered it on

Looks like I have about 20 hours to wait.

TheKing

OK, I just wrapped up my live feed, I'll put it on YouTube later if you want to see it. But for now, some notes.

I confirmed that Etheric Light is still usable on Year 1 weapons to ascend them to 170.

I confirmed that incomplete Elder Ciphers do auto-complete with your choice of weapon.

There are separate kiosks for the following:

Ships (By Amanda Holliday)
Sparrows (By Amanda Holliday)
Emotes (In the lounge)
Emblems (By Eva Levante)
Shaders (By Eva Levante)
Quests (By Ikora)
Exotic Weapons
Exotic Armor

There is no special orders ATM anymore. I believe it was removed because almost all of its use was to hold items that all have their own kiosk now. The exception to that is the ghost shell from the Collector's Edition, which is why you can't reobtain it right now if you delete it. So basically Tess Everis lost her job to an ATM, and now all of these kiosks.

We also now know all the Year 1 Exotics moving forward (at this time).

Warlocks Moving Forward:

Light Beyond Nemesis
Obsidian Mind
Heart Of The Praxic Fire
Voidfang Vestments
Starfire Protocol
Claws Of Ahamkara

Not Moving Forward:
Apothoesis Veil
Skull Of Dire Ahamkara
The Ram
Sunbreakers
Nothing Manacles
Purifier Robes

Titans Moving Forward:
Helm Of Saint-14
Helm Of Inmost Light
An Insurmountable Skullfort
No Backup Plans
Ruin Wings
Crest Of Alpha Lupi

Not Moving Forward:
The Glasshouse
Eternal Warrior
ACD/0 Feedback Fence
The Armamentarium
Mk. 44 Stand Asides
Peregrine Greaves

Hunters Moving Forward:
Knucklehead Radar
Mask Of The Third Man
Celestial Nighthawk
Young Ahamkara's Spine
Don't Touch Me
Crest Of Alpha Lupi

Not Moving Forward:
Achlyophage Symbiote
ATS/8 ARACHNID
Khepri's Sting
Lucky Raspberry
Radiant Dance Machines
Bones Of Eao

You might notice that all exotic legs got left behind. There will also not be new ones in Taken King. Beyond that, the Hunter and Titan are not getting a new chest piece, so it's Alpha Lupi or nothing for them. Warlock gets 1 new chest.

As for weapons, only 10 are moving forward, which is disappointing as we already knew all 10. None of the weapons on the bubble actually made the cut. So what we have:

SUROS Regime
Red Death
Hawkmoon
The Last Word
Bad Juju
Monte Carlo
Invective
The 4th Horseman
Thunderlord
Truth

Also, the SUROS is the only one that got a true overhaul, as the other weapons still have their old perks.

Obey The D

Also, if you pre ordered TK, the suros emblem and shader should be at your postmaster.

Chase is telling me Rift is crazy. Three more hours and then I can try it for myself.

musick

did you have it set to update during rest mode?
put it in rest mode and it should go quicker .... I doubt it will take anywhere close to 20 hours

musick

only 10 moving forward for now .... as they hinted I'm sure we will see some return for updates later

Speaker still offer exchange of 2 ascendant shards for 1 mote of light?, yessssss?

Obey The D

Yeeeeeesssssssss
