These blue and green ones are not my style...

I could go for one of those blue and gold we retrieve, though.

Correct (reply)

Insane specifically mentioned his Legendary Ghost. The Frontier shell.

Not OG Ghost, I don't think... (reply)

What they should have done.. (reply)

Xenos — Thu, 10 Sep 2015 09:51:15 +0000

It not added light to non armor, and given use the ability to customize them with perks. Of this I mean the ghost and our class based gear.

I'm very perturbed that my Legendary Ghost is only a 3, same as the classic shell. Not happy with this at all.

It is infusable at least though.

True. But how much would be added? We can get a blue one that is at 160. Does that mean it gets boosted by 160?

Not sure. I know the point of it is that you can at least eventually get any infusable item up to the max, but no idea how much you have to infuse it with to get it there.

Light on non-armor... (reply)

uberfoop — Wed, 09 Sep 2015 22:39:49 +0000

Yeah, this is odd. Lack of combat stats on non-armor was one of those things about the original version that seemingly everyone agreed made sense.

Now while making decisions with combat effectiveness in mind, the only aesthetic things you have full control over are ships and shaders.

Hopefully those won't be next.

Puzzled about my cloak (reply)

I got Strength of the Pack a looong time ago for my Hunter (when I was drowning in Motes) and love how it looks... but weirdness ensued upon loading the update. The Year 2 version is restricted to level 40 characters, so at first I was afraid I wouldn't be able to wear it. This morning I found my current version is still wearable, thankfully, but it's only 135 (out of a maximum of 170 for Year 1 gear) and thus pulling down my Light level. I don't see any option for infusing the old one either. *sigh*

-- Steve's not terribly pleased he might have to choose a different cloak to go Raiding.

PS: The new Knucklehead Radar looks pretty sweet, though. Look forward to earning that one in a few weeks.

I signed in with my Hunter yesterday and found an exotic cloak waiting for me at the postmaster. I assume it's a pre-order bonus. But when I signed in with my Titan and Warlock, no such items were waiting for me.

Anyone know if I'm supposed to get exotic class items for all 3 characters?

Thanks! I got the shaders and emotes for all 3 characters, but only 1 class item. No big deal, but I hope it gets sorted.

unfortunately... (reply)

Xenos — Wed, 09 Sep 2015 20:49:00 +0000

... in the patch notes they mention infusion as being a way to upgrade attack power on weapons. So it may only be that.

Nope! My Frontier Shell for my Ghost and the cloak I got for finishing the Gunslinger quest line both have Infuse as an option!

Motivation behind "light" on ghost shells, class items, etc. (reply)

dogcow — Wed, 09 Sep 2015 19:54:43 +0000

I expect they added attack & defense values to these items so that you have yet another way to incrementally increase your light. I went from 140 light to 167 just by visiting the tower & acquiring a new ghost shell & class item.

An idea: (reply)

Xenos — Wed, 09 Sep 2015 19:53:42 +0000

Give capes (and bonds, etc.) perks like the Ghost shell, but no defense rating. That way you could still have some rare capes that gives you some unusual, non-combat related effect, but you don't HAVE to wear those to be more effective in combat. I like the idea of class items meaning something now, but I don't like the idea of them being competitive.

I don't really care about the Ghost shell having a rating, but I suppose if others felt the same way about them as I do capes, they could do the same thing. Keep the perks and just take away their effect on Light. I definitely still want the perks though - I'm really liking my Helium-detector right now. :)

The Ghost shell doesn't bother me as much as I was worried about it since I realized the Frontier Shell can be infused!

Infusion FTW!... maybe. (reply)

dogcow — Wed, 09 Sep 2015 19:49:00 +0000

... but I hope that we will get infusion-oriented class items on the way to (or at) 40. That way we can at least keep the new cool ones we find along the way.

I am bummed that my original iron banner bond is only 30 defense, I really liked the look of that.

I had completely forgotten about Infusion, I guess I'm no so bummed out anymore. Wait, can you infuse common/uncommon/rare items, or is it just legendary? hmm...

Me too... (reply)
