Some of the changes they're planning include:
- Having 2 pieces of gear that have light level 30
- Rewards for losing to prevent quitting
- Power will matter (more) and you can't enter IB without a level 20 fireteam leader
- Bumping up the IB weapons (4 possible now)
- Weapons reforging introduced (IB weapons can be reforged for motes of light -- new draw on the perks)
- And they're changing ranks. Originally they planned for ranks to reset with each event, but it took too long to rank up and what not. So now, you'll keep your rank, but the max is now 5. And in the future, they're going to introduce a new system that's easier to level and will reset with each event.
They also made a point about not promising too much if they're not sure if they can meet deadlines, so I'm guessing the changes to the raid are still in the works, they just couldn't get it all done this week.
