Year 2 No Backup Plans sound way better
Hopefully some other underwelming exotics are getting some love...

C’est la vie

I foresee significant shrinkage among 360ers.

Yeah, now is the time to buy up, 360 lyfers.
Paying $60 now for what you would have paid $140 across the initial releases is good on the software front. Lot of attractive console options out now too. Start thinking about it, peeps.
Still debating the $40 for TTK on 360.

Sure hope I don't need to own them on the 15th to get them in my collections. I shared those useless things months ago!

You might be boned.

It'll be back in year 3. :)

Here's the thing...
Gjallarhorn already does almost twice the damage of any other rocket launcher. So year 1 Gjallarhorn will probably do just as much damage as the best year 2 rocket launchers :)

Except it's also getting nerfed...

True... I guess it'll depend how severe the nerf is :)

I was really hoping for grimoire unlocks doing that. :/

I expected this exact thing when I heard year 1 only.

There's no Grimiore cards for armour, anyway.

Oops, false alarm. They're still gonna be terrible. :)

Soon. Main problem now is I wouldn't have a copy of Destiny to run on it!

Legendary edition is calling your name :)

Inb4 Warlocks get it as a default skill-tree option.

Dang. Good to get confirmation, though. Been asking this question for months.

Well it still applies to previously bought DLC, doesn't it? So if you already bought the DLC for the 360 you'd want to get the $40 edition that just has the game and the new expansion, and use the free carry-over DLC you already bought, right?

We had a thread about this, and it doesn't look like it.
I don't want to rehash it but you can read about it here.
That said if anybody does buy up and has a different experience than I did, please post it! Would be nice to save that $20 if it's possible.

This bit makes me a little sad
"Now that my nameplate displays my Light and Level, where can I strut my Grimoire score?
It will be displayed under your Level when your Guardian is inspected"
I rather like my Grimoire score. It was sort of a way to tell how well rounded and/or how much of an enthusiast a player actually was. I didn't give people respect for the level, I doubt I will for their light level, but I always did for Grimoire...

Strange Coin edition is preordered...

Yeah, I was a little surprised by that change. I think the potential issue with Level and Light being displayed is that eventually, everyone will have the same Level and Light. It was nice that Grimoire scores were so varied even among equally-leveled players.
Find a decent contract, and I'll jump right in ;)

I always prided myself on my ridiculously high grimoire. Now how will I measure my e-peen?

Long-range Kill Distance?

No more

They removed the mentions of Force barrier on the BWU...

Missing data points in the Long-range Kill Distance chart.
What about my kill at 2019 meters and CougRon's kill at 2045 meters?

Those got posted after I made the chart,
And I was too lazy to go back and do it again.

Official: Cougron's e-p33n is a redwood.

Conveniently lazy

TTK marks the end (mostly) of my 360 lyfe
