Blind Watch

Windmill now pumps approximately 14% less liters of waters per match from 3.5L to 3L.

Game-changer.

I assume this meant the big windmill rotates a bit slower so less people bounce off the blades? Or maybe it's a conservation issue? :p

Pulse Rifles: Reduced the base Rate of Fire by [8% to 19], modified by weapon stat

I really found nothing wrong with the rate of fire on the Psi Umbra, the pulse rifle I used the most. Seemed like it wasn't too dominating over other weapons in PvP nor was it a slayer in PvE.

All of the Interceptor changes seem good though. I was really hesitant to see anything changed with her and hopefully it will be just as fun.

I think the stability and damage boosts will far more than compensate. High rate of fire seemed useless to me in the beta since I couldn't hold a Pulse Rifle enough on target to make it count...

I hope so. My accuracy with the pulse rifle was very different. Repeat burst headshots were pretty easy in close quarters and at range.

Keep in mind I much preferred the very accurate, very low shot to shot recoil or the Scout Rifles so my impression may be somewhat relative...

I noticed this too. Hopefully the other buffs outweigh this change; however the rifle I used in the beta (don't recall the name) had a perk that turned it into full-auto firing mode. This almost let me fire as fast as my trigger finger could finger. I hope to find a similar weapon to see how it performs in the current build

Auto Rifles took a nice hit. I was really surprised how much they increased the zoom of Hand Cannons. Pulse Rifles got a good increase to both power and stability... the two areas I felt they were really lacking... but fire a bit slower. I think this will be a big change for the better. Sad to see any negative changes to my Scout Rifle of Doooooom... but I'll live. The weapon changes really want me to try a Pulse Rifle!

I'm curious, if you can get more Crucible Marks per game did they also increase the earning limits or do we just hit the cap sooner?

This! At least the changes to the scout rifle weren't too dramatic!

As it wasn't mentioned, I'm guessing it hasn't changed for now, but we'll soon see! :)

-Swapping weapons from inventory now only takes 50% of the ammo in PvE
--------
Strikes

-Strikes now award increasingly more Vanguard Marks at higher levels.
-Strikes now award significantly better Gear at lower levels.
-Fixed an exploit using Ward of Dawn against Sepiks Prime
---------
-Treasure chest glimmer drop rate reduced, but added Materials to loot table.

These more so.

While that would be pretty bad ass, I'm thinking its more about "since the beta".

Sounds that way. I never understood why we wouldn't be able to choose any subclass from the get-go anyway.

I think I saw on Reddit someone mentioned that they saw a Bungie employee with a L5 character that was using Defender

From the notes:

Removed subclass locking from builds.

I read that as removing the "Lock this Subclass and gain a stat boost" option at the far right of the class upgrade screen. That option is missing from Lars' Titan, for instance.

We don't have to wait long to find out. :)

Look at all the options he has unlocked at 15 though... It's like he didn't just switch to a fresh, unupgraded subclass. I'm hopeful I'll be able to start as a Defender. :)

Look what is missing the the updated build. The lock.

Not the case, unfortunately. Still requires level 15.

I actually considered that, but that sounds like alot of work to do right, be it manual or automatic. Its a pity the idea didn't come to me (or anyone else for that matter) sooner, could have had more time to make something.

When Mass Effect 3's multiplayer was still being updated/tweaked, BioWare had a forum thread where they posted each update. Comments from the peanut gallery were disabled to keep it neat and orderly.

Bungie, if you're reading: having a central place people can come to to check for these tweaks and see all the changes, past and present, is an excellent idea. See here for reference.

On the last Guardian radio they were saying that since Luke Smith mentioned them maybe they'd be a possibility, but he actually said something like when adding beards is their main concern, they'll be doing well. It was in the context of saying that it's a living game, and they're going to be working hard to keep us playing it.

Instead of doing what all games do and just having us choose a beard;
they should give us the ability to grow a beard over time.
Maybe even give it it's own subclass perks like:
Conditioner: You have begun to condition your beard on a daily basis and now it is extra silky smooth.
Maybe I'm being excessive. Maybe.
