• Upgrading gear costs 5 masterwork cores and 20 legendary shards
• You can rework the stats (resiliency, recovery, mobility) for 1 masterwork core and 10 legendary shards.
• 
• Currently a UI bug where if you rapidly rework armor it'll look like it reworked to the same stat as it already had. It's a UI bug, no materials were actually used and it wasn't reworked.
• This is the 1st version of Armor Masterworks. They are planning to continue to update the system and add additional benefits. They are taking feedback.

• Jan 30th Patch
• 
• Raid Armor will have legendary (+5 Defense) raid specific mods added to them (added to new gear and previously earned).
• Perks aren't encounter specific like in D1, they are general buffs only active during the raid.
• Some include: "Recharge your grenade when you activate your Super", "Deal 20% extra damage after getting a melee kill", and "Solar abilities deal 25% more damage".
• If you switch out the mod for another one, you can reequip it for 1 Calus Token (it stays in your inventory like an ornament, it's not actually consumed)
• Completing Prestige mode encounters before completing any normal mode encounters will reward you with both normal and prestige mode loot (like Hard mode in D1 Raids)
• Raid encounter's always drop a raid piece? (They contradict themselves by saying "no matter what encounter you clear, you can get raid loot" can vs always.)
• Completing an encounter can also give you an exotic...not an engram but actual weapons and armor (non-quest exotics and specific to the class your using)
• Raid vendor will sell rotating stock that requires normal raid completion for normal gear and prestige raid completion for prestige mode
• New Exotic Ghost "Contender's Shell" - Can drop from final boss in the raid or raid lair "We also included some bad luck protection to avoid the "Nanophoenix Problem" so that dedicated raiders can rest assured they'll get their hands on it eventually, even if it takes several weeks.
• 
• Ghost Perks: Raid specific perks. 1: adds a chance for bright engrams to be added to the encounter's loot pool. Likelihood of getting one increases each time you don't. 2: 50% chance those exotics that might drop from the encounters aren't exotics you already have. 3: Tracks the number of encounters you've completed.

• Prometheus Lens - It now generates ammo instead of pulling from reserves and has increased base damage (presumably not back to the original amount)
• Fixed an issue where new characters created after Curse of Osiris weren't getting the Flashpoint milestone.
• When in a social space, you can now get a notification when your postmaster is full
• Heroic strike completions now have a better chance of granting exotic rewards
• Mercury challenges are now available during adventures
• Fixed an issue where Curse of Osiris strikes were not granting clan engrams when featured as a nightfall activity
• Fixed an issue where challenges weren't not appearing in quickplay.
• Increased the dismantle timer for Masterwork Cores.

• They are looking into a mass exchange solution
• They are looking at ways to re-integrate D1 Armor shader mechanics without losing the ability to shade weapons, ghosts, ships, sparrows, or customize specific pieces of armor.
• They are looking at re-introducing shader collections or ways to get copies of a shader in your possession.

• All three glides plus Catapult and Strafe Lift have been retuned and buffed to make them more unique and faster.
• The mobility stat has had its range expanded and been completely retuned as well. In short, everyone gets faster and the high end is higher.
• The players' ground speed cap has been increased, allowing for faster total movement speed, regardless of how you may get there.
• Arcstrider, Sentinel, and Striker all move faster, and at the same speed as one another, while in their Supers.
• Arcstrider, as a whole, is performing well in PvP but mostly due to its neutral game perks. We've made the following changes in an effort to get the Super to be a more competitive option:
• Faster Attack Animations.
• Faster Dodge Animations.
• Increased range of all attacks.
• Supers recharge faster for everyone!
• We've buffed several weapon archetypes (including, but not limited to, Hand Cannons, Pulse Rifles, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns) and a few specific perks, as well.
• A key goal here is to make Shotguns, Snipers, and Fusion rifles more prevalent in the game.
• We've also been working side-by-side with our friends on PvP to increase the pace of PvP combat and the frequency of power play. Here's a sneak peek at their hard work:
• Player respawn times for all Quickplay modes have been decreased.
• Power Ammo respawn timers for all Quickplay modes have been reduced ~30%.
• Power Ammo respawn timers in Survival have been reduced ~40%.
• Power Ammo respawn timers in Countdown have been reduced ~25%.
• Ammo counts have been adjusted in relation to these timers, and in relation to weapon type.
• Enemy players now drop their power ammo on death.
• The dropped brick is available to anyone until picked up or 30 seconds have passed.
• Shoulder Charge mechanics that were introduced a few weeks back have been completely reverted.

• Shader Previews: An issue was discovered shortly after deployment impacting Shader Previews. If a player attempts to preview a shader, the tooltip will automatically change to display the first page of shaders in inventory. The issue has been escalated to the appropriate team for investigation.

• Lost Sector throttle: A short-term solution was shipped, reducing the throttle timer from 10 minutes to 5. We have a Hotfix planned for mid-February to fully address this issue, but we wanted to deploy this change sooner than later to reduce impact to the player experience when clearing multiple Lost Sectors in short amounts of time. Stay tuned to @BungieHelp for announcements on when to expect this Hotfix.

• Future XP Balancing: Destiny Update 1.1.2 has reduced the required amount of XP for a rank-up from 160k to 120k XP. Additional balancing for Crucible XP rewards are currently in development, planned for a future Hotfix. Both Quickplay and Competitive playlists will receive an increase to XP rewards. Additional information will be shared when available.

Someone on reddit pointed out that all these mobility buffs might actually hurt crucible if TTK isn't decreased dramatically.
