General
-  In preparation for the Dark Below, Exotic Armor and Weapons no longer require Ascendant Materials to upgrade

Weapons
-    Vex Mythoclast

        Attack Power increased to 323 (from 300)
        Base Damage increased, fixing bug we introduced in previous patch
        Enhanced Battery upgrade by Extended Mag (this change still allows for a significant upgrade to Magazine Size, but less than before)

-     Thorn

        Projectiles now briefly highlight targets on impact
        Mark of the Devourer DoT (damage-over-time) upgrade increased against PvE enemy targets
        Reload Speed increased
        Magazine Size increased
        Ammo inventory size increased
        Stability and Weapon Handling increased

-     Bad Juju

        Magazine Size increased to 8 bursts (was 5)
        Ammo inventory size increased
        String of Curses now also decreases the cooldown of your Super on kill
        Adjusted effects to not block first person reticle

Raid
-      Fixed an issue we introduced in a previous patch, in which Atheon did not correctly send 3 players through the time gates
        Fixed an exploit where the Templar could be forced off its platform

Misc
- Reduced Cryptarch reputation gain from Engrams, but reputation reward packages now have an increased chance for Legendary Engrams
- 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
- Xur now sells a new material, Exotic Shards, to upgrade the final node of Exotics for 7 Strange Coins

Lol the patch actually made upgrading the exotics so damn easy now, too easy in fact, only need 1 exo shard for that one last upgrade node.

So far everyone seems happy with the patch. I for one am definitely very happy that we are now able to spend marks to buy materials. But damn I really should've fully upgraded them exotics instead of leaving them to rot in vault, now must wait until Friday only can fully upgrade 

Vex mythoclast looks damn sexy now with 323 damage, can't wait to have mine fully upgraded. I just hope all these exotics will still be good for when new DLC is out.

Edit: question, what do we do with ascendant shards/energy now?

this month if anyone doing VoG raid during the daytime and dont mind a raid newbie like me (all the raids i've done start from gatekeeper/ atheon part but havent start the raid from the beginning) can add me psn id 'unif1end'. With the new DLC coming out, i dunno if there'll still be people doing VoG.

Btw thanks to Darth_Vadey for the nightfall and weekly heroic 

I don't think I like this part....
Now can't simply2 buy but need to rank up too??? aduh...

Ah so the new gears are accessible to all? I thought it's restricted to the dlc users only. If like that it's possible to happen like what isr25 said about it being sold at xur.
If like that yeah it kinda sucks because people actually pay for the content.

Hell if have to resets they better be damn sure to make sure to reset requires a fully upgraded exotic to be able to unlock the reset option. That way newcomers who just got the guns have to suffer as well haha

No post at post master after 1st gold public event of the day is a bug.
Normal legendaries (non raid) will go up to only 31. You need to raid to go 32.

Edit

And I like this now: An upgraded Exotic is more powerful right out of the box

Now it really makes me re-consider whether to get the expansion pass or not.. Paying 100+ for just those things that you mentioned..

I hate how the Xur exotic upgrade doesn't even require a fully upgraded gear, moreover exotic drops after the DLC release would be the "upgraded" version. Bungie's attempt to attract and please new & casual player really **** their old player base in the ass 

i m stuck with vanguard rep  lvl 1 1500/2000, have about 100 mark want to buy gear

currently only complete until venus campaign, any idea how to get more rep?

thanks.
