It will if you have every exotic there is. Just means you don't need to buy the exotic engram from him anymore.

There actually is a small chance he will give dupes. Also if you have all weapons and armors on a class but need armor on another you will still get dupes.

Id be very very surprised if i have every exotic available. I could check though.

Well shit, colour me surprised...I have every weapon and hunter exotic, according to a list I found on eurogamer.net. That was a massive waste of a bunch of legendary shards.

More info on the upcoming nightfall changes, auras are being consolidated into emblems (so if you have the prestige nightfall, raid, or flawless emblem, you'll have that aura), some auras will come with fireteam bonuses, some emblems will have variants (they show a crucible emblem that unlocks a second version after you've killed 1000 hunters, for instance).

I wish auras were unlockables and you could equip the one you wanted, because it sounds like you need that specific emblem equipped to have the aura active.

Nightfall score decreases over time. Void damage buff recommended for this week's NF. Planet-specific emblems are bugged. Masterworks now have a audio trigger when they appear/drop.

IB next week (the body ornament grind continues..), clash, pulse, grenade launcher, and AR are the weapons this time, some info on PvP changes (a number of the changes are reverting things back to D1), rumble is returning (player count up to eight though), weekly featured playlist coming, and some stuff about the new NF system. On that note, anyone wanna mess around with the new Nightfalls this weekend?

[Serra]

Man, getting 80k is no easy task. Came 'close' twice, but still 4k below.

[6souls]

God of Mars items are appearing in the database.

Weekly Update:

This is not the last IB to unlock the season 2 ornaments, but next time will be 6v6, and talk about PvP changes (crucible will be faster, faster revive and respawn timers, faster power ammo respawns, changes to power ammo based on weapon type, power ammo drops on death, no tracker in any competitive mode (sadface..), faster movement across the board, changes to a few subclasses, invis no longer breaks AA (woooo!!!!), faster supers (25% faster), changes to a number of weapons and archetypes, etc.

Weekly Update:
https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/46685

Faction rallies return next week (and I was enjoying this week off so much..), this is the final faction rally of season 2 (so make sure to unlock those NM ornaments), they talk about changes to faction rallies for next season (making the choice more meaningful, rewards not being time-gated, making the rallies more unique, more lore, and building upon things like Lost Sectors), next update is two weeks away, and the roadmap will be updated tomorrow.

Also, they talk a little about in-air accuracy, and honestly, fuck the community on this. The community rallies behind the people who bitch about high-skill weapons that are 'OP' (NLB being the big one that comes to mind), but then they rally behind the people who bitch when Bungie makes changes to limit the skill ceiling. But hey, keep bitching about crucible -- maybe one of these changes will make it so your mediocre ass can go flawless >.> <.<;

Spoiler: show

[Kaslo]

The only major complaint about in-air accuracy penalty is how it fucked with perks on Dawnblade :/

[Obsidian]

The in-air accuracy penalty shouldn't exist, and the only reason it does is to lower the skill ceiling so bad players don't get completely dominated by the ones who have a handle on verticality.

1.1.4 in two weeks, heroic strike modifiers pushed back to 1.2.0, weekly crucible playlist starting March 27 (features rumble, mayhem, 6v6 IB). The upcoming schedule for the weekly crucible playlist is:

Mar 27: Rumble
Apr 3: Mayhem
Apr 10: Iron Banner
Apr 17: Rumble
Apr 24: Mayhem
May 1: Iron Banner

So potentially one, maybe two IBs remaining to unlock those chest ornaments.

[Kaslo]

Also, clarified on twitter by DMG but Heroics were pushed back because of a bug they found, but to make up for it they are making it more robust.

[6souls]

I love more robust bugs.
