some new info from game informer for rise of iron
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.
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.
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.
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, 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
I'm glad they're doing something with artifacts rather than just making them necessary for light level

so new crucible gamemode = kill confirm
thank bungo for this creative new game mode
for real though this might actually be interesting in destiny due to the slower ttk
meh, I don't think it will fit as well in destiny as it does in cod
