If your gonna pretend that Gambit doesn't exist you could ya know…
…Just delete it.
I loved Gambit for what it was, but if your going to do absolutely nothing with it or make it worse just remove it at this point. Ik that's just avoiding rather then a solution, but damn.
3:04 prob smashing a rally banner
Watch the titan have a lightweight glaive lol
3:05 Noticed queen logo in weapons is old weapon coming from house of wolves expansion
let us put shaders on exotic weapons i still dont get why thats not a thing
Sigh….you know, if Bungie really wants to bring difficulty back they could introduce a NEW enemy race that's NOT a palette swap. Make these TRULY NEW enemies the scaled up ones. Not just the bosses or new raid boss asset – but even the regular in world new enemies. But that's asking too much and they know it. More rinse repeat.
I hope for the exotic mission rotator they can bring back zero hour
I imagine season of the defiance will be Maura taking over a pyramid ship (maybe the moon one).
Season of the deep will probably bring us to xivu or something to make her powerless or something. That will be a new dungeon so it’s be cool if she was a dungeon boss
Listening to the Blackburn news didn't bring with it a lot of excitement for me. Maybe its just the though that re-grinding for all the gear I have managed to scoop is just around the corner or the push back on getting a working LFG system in the game (it feels like Bungie doesn't want anything to do with it from past remarks to now it will come in the last season of this year). Among other things, like the readjustment of stats or the changes to crafting where it sounded like grinding endlessly for random rolls is the old/new way we chase after all those god rolls. I guess Ill give it a shot to see what's its all going to feel like but I can't say how much engagement Ill give it until I just watch from the sideline for all the story beats.
Lots of good sounding stuff. I’m excited for this. The 1 of 2 crucible maps for the year looks really cool… also I’m not sure if it’s a technical thing but I hate the whole rotation deal with dungeons and now exotic missions. If I can’t get on or a casual buddy can’t get on, then we have a lot of waiting and planning to do.
Season of defiance…… another freaking Cabal season. Why are Cabal always involved in every single D2 season? I'm beyond tired of Cabal
They need to get rid of infinite ammo
Sucks I’m gonna miss the first two full seasons of Lightfall because I’ll be working away from home
MARS HIEST BATTLEGROUND STAYING AS NIGHTFALL ROTATOR LETS GO
I said it once I'll say it again: why are we double-nerfing resilience? People wouldn't be complaining as much if it was only one of these, but we're nerfing max resil while also making it harder to get max resil? It fhucking sucks lmao
Bringing challenge back to destiny:
Personally my big issue with them turning the knob up is it kind of makes the enemies feel more tanky then they need to be :C Now i do want to difficulty but i hope they don't feel that tanky. Heck Legendary seraph shield was just….I hated it. The enemies felt more tanky then grandmaster enemies making them dull to fight.
All i ever wanted was an exotic stasis bow and the ability to unfuck the useless handling off of my otherwise god roll drops. Is that shit really so hard for them to do. Instead they focus all their effort on making guardians big ass pussies that struggle through content. They want us dying and to have useless resil. Fuck these motherfuckers. They can eat a bag of dicks.
Season of the Deep: "Get in loser! We're going worm hunting!"
Ugh I'm so sad I missed that ketchcrash armor. The warlock set looks so good x.x
The cabal fleet does not look like ciatal’s fleet to me. Maybe calus’s.
I feel like exotics are too powerful, the damage increase they added last year should be removed or some exotics should be nerfed.
Gambit forgotten once again
"Quality" lol more like bare minimum. Weapon crafting could have been so much better. Like adding different weapon sights or changing the look of guns through attachments or something.
May be a reach but it seems like bungie is going back to certain aspects from D1 but with some tweaks and updates. I like it
I’m so glad they’re making random roll drops able to be good again. To me, grinding activities to get a certain drop was way more fulfilling and what made destiny, destiny, than making something yourself. (I have only crafted 2 weapons since the relic came out)
Let's be honest! The game was great whilst it lasted but it's time to move on.
R they revamping the only 2 good strike's
Exotic rotator needs to get whisper and outbreak perfected missions
love the channel, nice to see positive vibes on the game not just slating it 👍
Can i like…have your voice box?
I’m so ready I played witch queen beat the raid once haven’t touched the game since something about the gameplay after the main story didn’t do it for me
I will say this man the Titan armor in the season of The deep looks like a crab like big bearded chubby guy no offense Titans but it does!
wasn’t there already a map called meltdown?
create a REAL LIVE SRL!!!
What's the intro song?
I have an idea for season 22 and a title how about season of the stranger where the guardian goes with exo stranger to her time line and where the guardian fights the darkness guardian aka future guardian and we help exo stranger fight her sister and try to reform her and bring her back into the light and I'm still working on progress on the rest but I'll think of more details in the future!
Happy for stuff to come. Still, I’ll be waiting on new solo endgame stuff to crop up. Not just activities, but also mods and buffs like solo operative. I want to be able to do stuff on my own and become The Guardian of the lore.
Hmm tbh enemy Snipers apmost One Shotted me already e en tho i had high Res i just hope Enemys wont feel like giant HP Sponges cuz that would make the gameplay dull
The player in the middle is placing a flag
Bringing challenge back to Destiny
Me who thinks this game is harder than souls games: …well fuck
I voted for spider all 3 classes. They look a lot better than previous years. Can’t wait for lightfall though.
Damn they’re trying to add objective play to the objective modes? Might actually play crucible after this. But I’m most excited for the power changes, genuinely so frustrating that I can’t really ever play higher end seasonal stuff till the very end of the season just cause I work full time and can’t grind 24/7.
Conspiracy theory.
We know season of Defiance is on Earth and by the trees' I'd guess EDZ. Now we see a dark city-esc set of structures in the background of the promotional material. What if the EDZ is getting a full rework? As in the now irrelevant Red Legion base is being replaced by a Shadow Legion base. This could be supported by the fact that the two of strikes that are getting reworked in Lightfall are Arms Dealer and that Taken one in the EDZ. That's both the strikes in the destination and no other is being touched for some strange reason (specifically mentioned that Nessus strikes are staying as is due to all their changes).
