I still remember someone getting me during the King's Fall raid with the "hey, make sure you pick up the ghost over there on the left next to the cliff" only to get pummeled off the edge.
Nothing like disappointing news after enjoying a raid run last night.
Delayed: To March
Nightfall Strike unique rewards
Exotic repetition reduction
Companion vendor viewing

Exotic Weapon/Armor Sandbox Changes
To Beyond
Mod System Improvements
Added: To Feb
Emblem variants for multiple activities (I think they just listed their "emblem rework" as individual points to make it look like they are giving us more)
prestige nightfall challenge cards ("nightfall challenge cards" was originally in march update)
To March
Rumble joining Mayhem and Iron Banner 6v6 in the weekly rotating Crucible playlist.
Just read through the TWAB and while there's nothing really new here, there is a few things I've found out digging through older TWABs I missed.
Feb 27th Update
Nightfall Scoring
The score is the sum of all the individual performances.
Primarily driven by kills and secondarily by orb generation
Won't include medals like in D1 but may be added later
Score will bleed over time
At 15 minute mark, points earned are at 50% of normal and at 18 minutes, no more points can be earned.
Nightfall Challenge Cards
These drop after completing the nightfall for the 1st time that week.
You select which challenge you want to complete from that card and challenges include things like everyone dying in a restricted zone will send you back to orbit as well as adding elemental burns to you and enemies.
The tougher the challenge, the better the score multiplier.
This is just version 1 of the challenge cards and it's expected their 1st score thresholds will either be way too high or way too low. Future updates will help adjust those scores to become challenging but not impossible. They also plan to add more benefits at a later date.
Nightfall Emblems
These drop in each nightfall strike, different rarity emblems for different point thresholds..
They track your personal best score and if you score above a certain value, it'll unlock its aura.
There will be different auras for different strikes (and presumably things like raids/trials as well)
The aura will now increase vanguard token drops by 25% for everyone in your fireteam when attempting that strike (meaning it'll even benefit the matchmade randoms when doing that heroic strike)
No word on if the rarer emblems come with any different perks or anything.
Nightfall Modifiers
Prestige mode now has new modifiers that'll multiply your score.
1st new set of modifiers include Void, Arc, or Solar Singe (25% increase in damage from you and enemies using that element), Extinguish (wipes will return you to orbit), Power Modifier (voluntarily decrease your power to gain a score bonus)
Emblem Rework
New emblems are being added that track and display many more stats as well as give auras and/or benefits to fireteam members.
Crucible: Raid: Nightfall:
Emblem Variants: a few base emblems will have unlockable variants.
May Update Raid Prestige Modes
Eater of Worlds Prestige Mode will be released in May long with the new DLC2 raid lair.
Normal modes for all raids will always be available but every week, one raid activity will have a curated loadout mode.
Curated Loadout Mode will require you to use certain weapon types in each of your slots as well as add a modifier beneficial to your loadout.
An example they listed was "Kinetic: Hand Cannon, Energy: Scout Rifle, Power: Linear Fusion, with the modifier being precision damage is increased and landing precision shots will add one ammo back to your magazine."
Another example "Kinetic: Sidearm, Energy: SMG, Power: Shotgun, Modifier: Melee damage is increased and melee kills grant bonus super."
Final example "Kinetic: Auto Rifle, Energy: Riskrunner, Power: Grenade Launcher, Modifier: Each kill you get before reloading or switching weapons gives you increasingly more ability energy"
Added:
Aura's will last for 14 days after meeting requirements (going flawless/prestige raid completion). That way getting an aura on monday before reset isn't useless.
I'm not playing the next few days but maybe some over the weekend. My daughter and her husband are coming in town and we usually do board games or jack box games for fun plus we plan to do an escape room as well so may be too busy.
