Ice Breaker • Send It upgrade replaced by Lightweight (which was redundant as Icebreaker already had maximum range)  • New effects for enemies killed by Ice Breaker upgrade For ice breaker fans i think this is kind of a let down when im trying to aim it takes a littler longer and i am often killed by well placed snipers right as i get the shot lined up. i was hoping for better stability on the gun. also the recoil i have is a little excessive for a sniper rifle but then again mine isn't fully upgraded yet so maybe it gets better. • Fixed an exploit where the Templar could be forced off its platform Damn just when i thought hunters could catch a break from all the jumping and trigger holding and reload smashing by sitting down hidden while titans and warlocks pushed off the templar so now we have to actually kill him. Now raids will have to be planned because that's another 30-45 mins added to the already hour long raid but hopefully it's still fun i did the raid three times this week twice to help other people and i have no complaints that no one else hasn't whined about already. • Players will now be able to use Vanguard Marks and Crucible Marks to purchase Spinmetal, Relic Iron, Spirit Bloom, and Helium Filaments from the Vanguard and Crucible Quartermasters in the Tower Finally the seemingly endless circle traveling and chest opening is over they have heard our cries and answered them with our needs. Well part of it whoever came up with the idea of purchasing this with marks this probably doesn't effect the people with rank 3+ in every faction but for me i need my vanguard marks or crucible marks to buy a new sparrow because the ship lady doesn't sell one worth my time even though she out of all people should be selling the faster ones but i guess maybe im wrong. when i first heard this idea from the forums i knew that if they were to actually do it they would make it cost way more glimmer than it should OP (over priced not over powered). but even through this the people with 25k glimmer collecting dust at the top of their inventory screen would finally be put to use. now with it costing marks and were only getting 100 a week how much will it cost for example for 50 spirit bloom since most of us need huge quantities of these materials for multiple upgrades and will it still be over priced, i guess this will be answered once i update it. • Xur now sells a new material, Exotic Shards, to upgrade the final node of Exotics for 7 Strange Coins So no more 6-8 ascendant materials to farm for but now we have to wait for xur to come or dismantling unwanted exotics??? wtf so i have recently recieved the jgallahorn and the truth and im more a heavy machine gun guy so i dont use rocket launchers but i keep them just to show i have them and really just to have them and i kind of dont really want to dismantle them or any other exotic at all nor just to get a shard i think thats dumb but wait they have an alternative i can buy however many they will give if i spend my strange coins on them. me personally i think they should have went with buying it with motes of light because as of right now most people are saving up for their certain desired item for xur to sell or maybe its just me doing that. be overall i feel motes of light would have been a better way to go but at least we dont have to wait to get those last 3-4 upgrades because we dont have the shard or energy but that last upgrade i feel will bother people eventually just my thoughts, and im guessing/hoping destination materials is the exotic shard we will need which is supposed to now be able to be dropped from daily mission as well as daily patrol missions. - Faction Class Items (ex: FWC Cloak, Dead Orbit Mark, etc.) are now replaced by Faction Emblems in the rank-up reward packages from Faction Vendors lastly, can i now where my raid cloak and still get faction rep great addition i think though i didnt mind wearing what is a third of a regular cloak but it's still pretty cool. This post only contains the things that pertain to me because i dont have all the exotics they listed as well as others= things they said but feel free to comment your opinions on the new update and add your thoughts on the buffs and patches that come with this update.
