Ill do my preorder when e3 comes around. I want in the beta!!!
I hope that map returns in D2. So good.
Yup, Nightstalker is an absolutely godsend in PVE. Also just a really fun subclass in general.
Personally hoping if any maps return I'd prefer Widows court or Rusted Lands. Dunno if any map, really, will return, since I'm not sure how well they'd be for a 4v4.

God, all this Nightstalker talk has me praying that the Taken King subclasses will be in this game.
Maybe they're saving them for an E3 reveal or something... if there are only two subclasses per class at launch again that'll be pretty weak.

Hawkmoon was king in both design and use in PVP/PVE... I did my flawless trial using Hawkmoon to two headshot kills... it was awesome.
The PVP exclusive map was better than most non exclusives.
4th Horseman while not being a badass weapon like Hawkmoon it was a killer boss machine in arc damage... in few seconds you could kill bosses.
I think the exclusive content was pretty good and heavy used by community (at least Hawkmoon).
The whole "You lose your powers and now you need to reclaim them!" bit makes me feel like they might be gone. Seeing as those were made to feel like the peak of the classes' power.
Im guessing Sunbreaker is either gone or they are drastically altering the super because the warlock Dawnblade super looks functionally identical to throwing hammers, just, you know, with a sword instead.

That's actually hilarious. I just googled what the Sprint cool down was. All this time I just thought it was either my controller or lag when i had to hit the Sprint button a few times to get it going.

Sprint cool down was one of the more secret baffling decisions by Bungie in destiny. People never really talked about it outside the core community. Thank the Traveler it's gone.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw Dawnblade in action. I was like "uhh, that's just Hammer of Sol...".
And come to think of it, the new roaming part of Fist of Havoc is basically the Suncharge perk from Hammer of Sol...
Yeah, I guess it's either gone or redone. Hopefully the latter.

I do wonder what maps will be brought over.
Vertigo is a personal favourite, and it'd be neat to see that map with the new backdrop given Mercury's shattered status.
Hopefully there's still a searchable database but this is an awesome move. The Destiny lore is incredible and I really hope more people embrace it so we can get more of the more mysterious stuff moved into the game proper.

Also with every PVP mode being 4v4 all of the map designs should be excellent. Perfect scaling and flag placements.
So my max grimoire score means nothing now?

It never really meant something except for those crazies who put a minimum requierement for one's grimoire score in their LFG listing lol

I don't really have a link on me, but people who were there confirmed they didn't notice any sign of one.
Good riddance, I've always enjoyed looking up lore in game. Thank god Bungie took a hint on this one.
I mentioned it earlier. I just found it again.

Yes the 1060 is a fantastic card for the price my son play many games at 4K with it and many at 1440 or 1080 maxed out. He has the EVGA 1060 6gb superclock. Fantastic card
Yes! You're pulling me back in with all of these things I wanted in D1 Bungie.

I mean yea, it was nothing more than a score for personal gratification and to let others know that I've grinded with the best of them..I wish it could carry over though.

Probably yeah. Bungie loves their stats.

Good, going to a website to know the story of the game was really bizzare

agreed, all of the lore should be in-game
100% agree. I hope they do not show any more exotics.

I missed on Destiny 1 so I would like to jump in Destiny 2, if possible.
However I am a bit miffed on the absolute certainty that, if I chose to join early on this game, not long afterwards this game will be showered with so many add-ons/"expansion packs" or what-have-you so it might have been better not to join it early but instead later on?

This video is long but Briar Rabbit says that the build shown was 3-6 months old (I would guess it's a mix of various stable builds).
On top of that some of the raids and stuff may be ignored if you play them late and some of the loot drops won't be as relevant.

Part of the fun is discovering things along with the rest of the community. Getting it later on is more content for the money but also you miss out on a lot of cool community moments. Personally I prefer a paid expansion model instead of a subscription fee.
On top of that some of the raids and stuff may be ignored if you play them late and some of the loot drops won't be as relevant.
People think they're getting more content by joining late, failing to realise that older content becomes less and less relevant over time, meaning you miss out on activities like older raids because it's not part of the current endgame meta. So if you really want to play this game, i recommend joining sooner than later.
There are already 2 dlcs announced. Probably (i hope) more to come. Destiny needs content drops from time to time. And meaningfull content won't be free.
If you join later you won't experience the content while it's still fresh. Beating Gary two years later won't feel as good.
Yeah, I like that idea as well. An emote wheel would be nice though because it gets tedious having to equip an emote you want to use at that moment in time. For emotes, we should have a wider selection available to perform.

No cross save? Fuuuuu. This kind of reduces my chances of double dipping on the pc version even though it seems like it will be the best one

It's one of my favourites too: I didn't know it was PS4 exclusive though until now (lol at me and my 1000 odd hours haha).
Can't wait to see some more maps in the Beta, midtown looks fun too: Countdown looks intense!
