I guess Stuntmutt was impressed with this week's reveal:

The latest Weekly Update is up and this week they cover some commonly asked questions asked after their stream yesterday.

Lars Takes Us Through the New Crucible Changes

Design Lead Lars Bakken sat down and talked to Game Informer about all the major changes that The Taken King will bring to the Crucible, whether that's new modes like Rift and Mayhem, or sandbox tweaks to Thorn and Blink. Great video! Electricpirate was first on our forum.

Go North, Young Man

I feel as though Stuntmutt should be allowed to explain this one himself:

When I was a kid, I loved Marvel comics. I was always drawn to the ones that said 'Special Guest Star' on the cover, like when Spiderman would turn up in the Fantastic Four, or Thor would 'guest' alongside The Hulk. But Guest Star only ever put in an appearance for a couple of panels and was utterly inconsequential to the story. So I'd generally feel quite disappointed.

I like to think I've managed to capture the true essence of that experience here.

Better Storytelling in The Taken King

Something I think we're all excited about from The Taken King is the promised improvements to Destiny's campaign structure, as well as to the storytelling for The Taken King's campaign. Game Informer sat down with Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy to discuss their plans. Also, pay attention to the video and you may catch a look at some new exotics coming as well. Go watch the interview! (Thanks to Speedracer for mentioning it on the forum)

To prepare for their coverage of The Taken King this month, Game Informer went to Bungie to play The Taken King for more than a day. The Game Informer Show (GI's podcast) discusses their experiences with the expansion and what they think of the upcoming content.

We Are Guardians Trailer

Both a recap of year one of Destiny as well as a look at year two, this "We Are Guardians" trailer has the excitement dial turned up to 11. If you're wanting to stay completely unspoiled, you may want to skip for now as there are a number of shots of Taken King gameplay and a lot of glimpses of epic cinematics in the coming expansion.

Legendary Weapons Not Going Forward

Kidtsunami was first in our forum with the Game Informer article revealing that Year One Legendary weapons will not be able to ascend to Year Two standards. Start saying your goodbyes - but also start preparing for some "genuinely novel shooting experiences".

Dinklage Is Out; Nolan Is In

When The Taken King launches, you won't be hearing Peter Dinklage as your Ghost anymore - even if you start the game over. Nolan North (who Bungie fans will remember as Romeo from ODST) is not only recording the dialogue for your Ghost for the forseen future, but also re-recording all of the previous lines by Dinklage as well. (CougRon was first on our forum in reporting this huge news from Game Informer.)
