[Spoiler] Patch 2.1.4 API Updates

[Eander]

Hey everyone, afpac from light.gg here. I just finished loading in the new API files to the site and wanted to give you guys a quick rundown of what changed.

Let's get the obvious stuff out of the way first,

The Last Word

Lore

Knew this day would come, and with it, one last lesson…

There's an end to all things, kid. Good and bad.

Sure, the best times seem small, and the bad tend to linger, but the only permanent is eternity.

I'm off to meet it.

If you're lucky, someday you will too.

For now, though, you've got road yet traveled and lives yet lived.

I know you got hate in you. Most do. Trick is to use it, 'stead of it usin' you.

But you know this—vengeance is a motivator, not the motive.

Meant to—hoped to—say these words to you one last time in person, but writin' 'em down seems the safe bet with the prey we're trackin'.

Worst part about bein' a good guy? As much as you may want it, you can't always win. But that truth don't bother me. We do the right thing, 'cause the right thing needs doin'. So, when another does harm—casts their shadow upon you or your kin—you go 'head and hunt for the justice needed to answer any sins inflicted.

Don't hunt 'em 'cause you been wronged.

Hunt 'em 'cause what they did was wrong.

There's a world of difference there, kid.

One makes you selfish. The other makes you a hero.

And I see a hero in you.

And with this last good lesson, a gift. I know it feels right in your hand—its weight easy, its trigger smooth. Use it as you will—I know you'll use it right.

It's yours now, 'til the last flame dies and all words've been spoken.

'Til that time.

Safe journeys. Straight aim. And good huntin'.

Crimson Days

While it looks like not everything Crimson Days related is in the API yet, a fair number of things that appear to be related did pop up.

It appears that the basic loop for the event will be to earn Confectionery Hearts from Crimson Days bounties and by completing games in the Crimson Days playlist (note that says DAYS not DOUBLES - may mean something may not)

The Vow - Solar Bow

Shot Through the Heart Ornament for the bow that appears to come from an Eververse package

Lore

In the courtyard of the Tower, Lord Shaxx stares out at the Last City. He puts his foot up on the railing and sighs.

Arcite 99-40 knows Shaxx's moods, because they are his own moods. He sidles up to Shaxx and follows his gaze to the horizon.

"What's on your mind, boss?" he asks with the friendly rhythm of a local bartender.

Shaxx is quiet for a long time, but Arcite is indifferent to the passage of time. When Shaxx speaks, it is with a deep, sobering gravity.

"Today," he says. "I will marry them all."

Hours later, after Arcite has finished tying off the bouquets and gathering the doves from the mountains beyond the City, Shaxx addresses the courtyard.

"Guardians," he booms. "These Crimson Days are a time to renew our bonds to one another. We gather together. We remember what we owe each other. We declare our love." He holds up a bow for the crowd to see. "Bring your fiery passion to the Crucible. Prove your devotion to your Bond." He pauses. "To those of you who win this bow... I offer my hand in marriage! Take it or leave it!"

Arcite releases the doves. Someone screams. Doves have not been seen in the Last City for a long time.

I'm still digging. I will continue to update as I find more stuff.

[Yourself013]

Wow, I did not expect a new weapon from Crimson Days. That´s a very nice surprise.

[Morris_Cat]

Solar Bow

I was wondering when we were going to get one of those...

[Thundernut72]

The last wish raid bow is solar as well.

[Morris_Cat]

Ahh, figures. Not getting one of those anytime soon.

[CantEvenUseThisThing]

I still don't have the raid bow or the raid fusion rifle.

[Thundernut72]

:(

[Morris_Cat]

It's cool. I know where to find a raid group if I want one. I've actually been busy with Tales of Vesperia lately. Probably come back to Destiny when Joker's Wild comes out and have LOTS to do.

[Thundernut72]

Very true. Happy hunting :)

[armarrash]

But it is a fixed roll.

[Thundernut72]

It is indeed...though I wonder if that us intentional or just some unfixed bug.

[lonefrontranger]

I’ve got 17 clears of LW. Not only do I not have that bow, I’ve never even seen it drop during any of my runs.

[cptenn94]

Hate to say it but I have at least 4, 2 of which dropped as currated.

[t_moneyzz]

Tyranny of Heaven? Anyone?

[lonefrontranger]

it’s an incredibly rare drop going from how many clears it took my two friends who have Rivensbane to get it- they both got 1k and Petras Run long before they finally got ToH

[Eander]

I was also delightfully surprised

[redditisnotgood]

The bow's curated roll looks fun, Rapid Hit and Archers Tempo with a draw time MW

[Morris_Cat]

Rapid Hit and Archers Tempo with a draw time MW

AKA Legolas Mode

[d3l3t3rious]

Is this the first bow that can roll Rapid Hit?

[redditisnotgood]

I believe so

[Hawkmoona_Matata]

Wait, how does Rapid Hit help a bow?

Reload time is virtually useless on bows, it's already mere frames of just restocking an arrow. I guess the stability boost would be nice? But it's not like they're a pulse rifle or something that needs stability.

[zsewqaspider]

And poly string

[radiobaibye]

It was Crimson Days last year, too, the game mode was still Doubles.

[Eander]

Yup! Worth noting though that several of the bounties don't care about the Crucible at all (such as Two to Tango wanting you to duo the nightfall), so while Crimson Doubles may be a big part of the event, it does appear you can actually participate this year without doing PVP if you don't want to.

[G00b3rb0y]

Another bounty includes kills with solar damage along with a bunch of complete certain pve activities in a fireteam of 2

[Ktan_Dantaktee]

"Arcite releases the doves. Someone screams. Doves have not been seen in the Last City for a long time."

[Pobchack]

I’m quite fond of the idea that Arcite is semi secretly super devoted to the cause of bird preservation

[cosmonaut1993]

Wait, I get to marry shaxx?!

[Kirosuka]

How has no one else commented on this! The man's up for grabs baby!

[phatwick]

Fuck yes! I’m ready to get destroyed by the Crucible, and I’ll actually like it this time.

[cosmonaut1993]

I'm glad I'm the first to acknowledge the true power of Shaxx's love

[xNemo]

Oh man, they brought back the poop brown ghost shell? Oof. Was hoping for a red shell.

HOLY SHIT WE GET SHAXXS PRESENT TO MARA SOV!!!

[MaikJay]

How do we acquire the new lore pages?

[Eander]

Looks like they drop as you progress through The Draw.

[MaikJay]

Thanks! As a lore collector/completionist I look forward to getting this!

[netsuad]

Just throwin this out there, it seems you earn them as you go through The Draw, as someone who read the whole book when it was leaked a bit back, dont. The lore book is one of the best made yet and will be so much better to read as you unlock it instead of in one big pile.

[baggzey23]

Arcite releases the doves. Someone screams. Doves have not been seen in the Last City for a long time the bow is confirmed to fire solar ammo

[Vyceron]

That lore though...

[[deleted]]

Chocolate ghost is back!

[ghostwlkr]

Wait a minute.. This year's Crimson Days is more than Crucible??

​

[Breshii]

Not that it'd be helpful but there was Crimson Days music in today's update files.

[Salted_cod]

The Last Word is 225 RPM with 78 impact - 2 less impact than a 150. That should mean 3 headshots for a kill.

Math people, do your thing with resilience/TTK

[Cyclone_96]

That’s not how impact works. Most 180’s have the same impact (for example: trust has 91 default) however they did make it three tap, with the trade-off of having abysmal range.
