- Thorn is coming to Year 3.
- Light level goes to 400.
- (Some) Artifacts have dramatic effects like switching enemies to your side on melee or removing your Super in exchange for doubling up melee and grenades + a stat boost.
- SRL is coming back along with an expanded winter event that includes more than just racing.

Maybe winter event is Queens Wrath #2?!

Good summary post:

I'm just happy that all class items will be in rotation. My hunter won't have to make light level sacrifices to be frabjous.

There is a lot of really cool stuff in the GI article

The post bluerunner linked covers it all, but my favorites:
* New customization options (basically skins) you can find for earned or exotic sets of armor (like raid and IB) and weapons.
* New Khvostov rifle is an exotic that has firing modes and speeds you can choose from, basically making it into the type of gun you want.
* New activity in the Plaguelands that's between PoE and CoO.
* You randomly get Strike skeleton keys for finishing strike playlist and Nightfalls, which make it so the next time you play a strike to earn one of the exclusive items
* Festival of the Lost returning in October, in addition to SRL in December, woo!

My favorite not mentioned: New menu music.
My favorite not mentioned: New menu music.
I was just talking about this too. I like TTK music, but I don't think it has a year's worth of constant play value the way the original music did. I think it would have worked for a period from CE to HoW as a fun novelty that set the mood for that period of time. One of my favorite Destiny pieces is part of TTK menu suite but the tone is too dark as an entrance to the overall game.
The original music just set the tone in a way that was hopeful and didn't feel overbearing.

I miss the original music.
