First, thanks for taking the time to write this up.
Second i am going to touch on the marks situation. I am glad they are universal, i am glad the weekly cap has been abandoned at least for this Expansion. But my biggest issue is 200 shared marks. Does that not seem extremely low to you? You are going to hit that cap over three characters pretty quick, forcing you to sign out, switch to the character you need to buy something for, then switching back. The cap is far too low, especially when between 3 characters we had 1200 possible marks, mind you my biggest issue is all the marks i currently have are going to be burned to the ground, sure i can spend them on armor or guns that will be useless in a month instead.
In conclusion to this, Marks should come in a package much like Glimmer drops, So i can store them up and use them as needed with no worry of losing them because i am at the cap. I think this is an important change that needs to be made to them, it would alleviate alot of concerns people seem to have (including me) about the low cap.
Next, Infusion.
I am dissappointed with the way they did this, Not only does old weapons not count towards being able to be infused, you cannot use them to Infuse new weapons with more power. I think they should at the very least be able to do that. The whole of Infusion leaves a metric ton of questions. Like Exotics, do we have to use exotics to infuse exotics? Can we use any new weapons? Whats the max we can infuse to? Can we infuse Purples with white/green/blue? Can we infuse a legendary with an exotic? Too many questions left with Infusion, way too many, and i know that we will not get answers until it comes out which is very frustrating.
Moving on to the Vault space.
I said this once a few months ago, a simple paging system can be used to alleviate Vault space issues, they should have done it to begin with, but apparently nobody realized that until i started saying it. I guess they do at least read the forums. But the whole line about needing to get together with PS an XB is crap. I am personally offended that they had this "epiphany" so late, the space, moving things to kiosks, all should have been done originally, and had they done any research on the subject they might have figured this stuff out sooner. You cannot just "make a new style game" using old tired tropes without doing any research into them.
This is pretty much all i have to rock on the subject at the moment.

Didn't they say that 200 marks is the size of your wallet but as soon as you spend them you can go and get more all week? This would essentially mean there is no real cap, you just need to spend them so you don't waste the ones collected while you're at max capacity. As far as a shared stock goes, I think it's wise. sharing marks would allow you to be leveling one character in one way but being able to buy gear with another, it's seems to be cutting down the time grinding on each individual character.

They said you can only use a stronger weapon to infuse a weaker one. They also said if a blue has higher attack it can be used to infuse a legendary. I'm pretty sure that was either in the stream or game informer I'm not sure which.

Edited by Decipher: 8/21/2015 9:55:12 PMOn the mark thing, if you have extra marks theyre gonna be change to commondations i think so you can consume them once your out (bundles of 50) About the infusion, idk the limit, but you can infuse anything as long as they have a higher power than the one your gonna infuse it with (i think the rarity doesnt matter)

Where did it say the commendations thing? Source? Link? Time frame in the Twitch stream?
-
They said it on the update, just search where theyre taking about the vanguard and crucible marks then scroll down.
