Just over a month to go untill the apparent release date of the DLC.
Thought i would create this thread to discuss any rumours/facts we know about it so far as i havent heard much buzz.
is there going to be a new level cap?
will we need to swap all our exotics again? (FML)
any bizarre new type of shards to collect to upgrade? (again FML)

There's a rumour flying about - that Bungie have not denied, as far as I can see - that the next dlc won't be out until May.

then there might be a prime time to have a small break from this to catch up on my ever growing shelf of shame

Hmmm. Those people who have already bought it as part of the double expansion pack might be a tad pissed off if they have to wait until May...
I just hope it's a lot more new content than the first.. not just new locations but different things to do in PVE, a new raid (obviously) and more diversity in classes not just through armour and weapons. New sub classes maybe.

Hmmm. Those people who have already bought it as part of the double expansion pack might be a tad pissed off if they have to wait until May... I will and I won't. I play far too much and should have a break, but can't. If it's pushed back to May it'll make it easier, and I definitely will have a break. I've just had a look at the official game site and there's absolutely no info there as to what is in House of Wolves and when it is due. If it is out on 10/03 as planned they need to say so, and let us know what's in it. My gut feeling is that they were planning exactly what was in DLC1 - level cap increase, obsolete legendaries and the necessity to upgrade exotics - and they're delaying while they have a rethink. Even diehard players have found much to complain about in the first dlc.

i just read that the leval cap might be going up to 39 a pretty big jump and that the vendors stock will be increased to take players over the current level cap once again making all your current gear obsolete. so be prepared to ditch everything u have put all those game hours into since crota came along.
it really does baffle the mind.

What I read was that the light level on armour will increase to 39 - which is in keeping with the first dlc, when it was raised by 3. And probably another 2 on player level cap. I suppose we've all got ideas about what we'd like to see apart from the expected new missions/strikes/raid. I'd like to see these tweaks: - ability to skip cut scenes. There is absolutely no reason at all to force players to rewatch cut scenes. It does nothing but waste players' time. They already did this partially by not forcing end-mission scenes - that endless drivel between space queen and her goth brother at the end of the Eye of the Gaylord mission, for example. I'm sure you had to watch that whenever you killed the boss, but now you don't. But they need to do the same to scenes that crop up in the middle of missions, like The Dark Below on the moon, which we all play 50 times a week now because of bounties. And that godawful stuff in the Ishtar Academy - I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain why I fall asleep every time that starts. I can't imagine any players not welcoming this tweak.
- Stop forcing dlc down our throats in the form of an Eris mission every second day as the heroic daily, and Omnigul every fortnight.
- Make exotics exotic. Because many of them aren't. Every exotic should have a perk that makes you look at it and think 'cor, I wouldn't half mind that'. I just got Hard Light this week in the nightfall. It's alright - I'm not mad on fast-fire low impact autos but I quite like the feel of it - but nothing about it makes you glad that you've got it. It won't even come close to being considered a replacement for my trusty legendary Badger.
- Give us something to do with vanguard marks, remove the bank cap of 200 and the weekly limit. I'm piling up marks and have nothing to do with them. I buy weapons to dismantle for 2 ascendant energies because there is nothing else to buy. So in effect I grind for a week and a half to earn 2 ascendant materials. Stick a new vendor in the tower who will swap marks for ascendant materials. And vary the weapon stock of the quartermaster. Same weapons, same perks, every week. Lazy.
- Lift the console exclusivity so that Xur might sell me a Hawkmoon.
- Vanguard commendations. Of no earthly use once you have bought a couple of bits of armour. As with marks, give us something else to do with them.
- Vanguard level rewards. I know, we all know the loot system relies too heavily on the random number gods. I got my hunter to vanguard 30 last night. Whichever way you look at it, to get only one character to that level requires hours, if not days, of play time. I was awarded one single ascendant energy; I can get that by pointing my gun at a passing warsat. On a related note, don't insult players by giving them a fistful of upgrade mats for completing nightfalls.
- Don't make weapons obsolete, and don't force us to pay for the privilege of getting to grind to unlock all the perks again. Next time you raise weapon level, just make us buy a shard or two to stick on it.
- Player trading. Tricky one but I'm sure something could be introduced. As long as they cover all exploits to stop everyone having goldiehawns within two days of a patch. Perhaps you can loan a weapon to a pal for a set time in exchange for marks. Something like that perhaps.
- Eris rep. It maxes at 4, so unless you absolutely need to level some gear there's no reason to carry on doing her bounties. They could let the xp continue, and give out radiant material when you level. Seems a fair reward given that levelling with her is slower than with vanguard.
- I suggest they introduce an automatic 1-day account suspension for titans who get themselves killed in heroics and nightfalls so that they can nip out for a smoke.
I could go on, but my lunch hour is finished.

i would also like to see different ways to reach the level cap every hunter,titan and warlock look and perform exactly the same barring the odd shader change.
also would it be to difficult to give the class items at least a little bit of purpose eg- plus one agility nothing major just to make it worth going to the trouble to collect.
either make exotic bounties more fun or worth the trouble how many pocket infinitys or super good advice does anyone want while waiting 6 months for certain weapons.
if atheon was the big bad then crota would it hurt to give these villans a line or two of speech or at least an evil kackle not just a giant to shoot at the end of a raid

Another obvious one - since we've probably all got spinmetal, helium etc piling up - more vault space please. And the ability to organise it.

Bungie have at least confirmed it won't be March in their weekly update saying it will be Q2 - so May sounds very likely. I'm glad of this like others as it will give me a chance to actually play something else.

Some great suggestions from Pigmagnet to move Destiny further towards MMO than it is right now... And an entertaining read.
Bungie need to address the problem of weapon and armour upgrades, although this is an issue for MMOs generally... In this case you have the issue of time and effort to upgrade something only for it to be obsolete instantly. The upgrade mechanism for exotics is a bit messy.
Player trading without BOE or BOP would be a problem. Too easy to get everything quickly. I don't think we'll see an auction house either.

And as things they could do too make the game better. More vault space definitely end the glimmer cap and better exotic weapons you can get off xur I couldn't believe it when I saw no land there again this week that's just a joke
