In Destiny, the expansion “The Taken King” raises numerous questions. 16 of them now have answers. Among them: What happens to Etheric Light? What does the light level do? When does it start? Which Year 1 Exotics will be available in Year 2? What will happen to the old raids?
In an interview, the two main actors of “The Taken King”, Game Director Luke Smith and Producer Mark Knowsworthy, answered many questions from the community.
We summarize the most important answers:
What happens to Etheric Light?
Etheric Light may not be important anymore. At least Bungie is not talking about any functionality, but only about a way to exchange this resource. It became important with “House of Wolves” to bring legendary items to the Year 1 maximum of 42 light or 365 attack value. This seems to be settled for Year 2.
Currently, there is no exchange option for Etheric Light. However, they are considering introducing such an exchange option, perhaps with the Speaker.
When does The Taken King start exactly? At what time on September 15?
Important for many players: When do I need to free up time? When should I be sitting on the couch with my controller in hand and a full fridge behind me?
There is no exact time for “The Taken King” yet, at the moment it is still uncertain. However, they promise to announce a specific “From then on you can log in” time.
On the next page, we’ll discuss how your Guardians will become stronger in Year 2 of Destiny.
