Increase your Light today with the Destiny 2™ Vault Expander!

I'm still stunned Bungie didn't come up with a cold storage vault (like Pokémon Bank) for D1, so many people would have paid for it

Their databases must have really been hosed

He's Bradley Bungie, son of Barry Bungie, grandson of Bartholomew Bungie. He has an inside track because he played D2 well before the media got to.

It's the second time cvnvcnv has made this joke, but there is a small nugget of truth here.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Y2 Trials armor is best for Titans and Warlocks, they finally gave the Hunter something appreciable in Y3.

Thanks for this, this is givin' me some Fashiongoals.

Unless something has changed in the last few months, you no longer carry engrams in the appropriate weapon or armor slot, but instead have a max of 10 engrams. So either engrams are going to be much more rare in D2, or they no longer expect you to grind out strikes in the hopes for better drops.

I kinda like it

Yeah, it remains to be seen how well balanced it will be in practice. If I'm running strikes or crucible I just don't want to be running to the towerfarm every couple matches, or god forbid, trusting the postmaster.

Oh, good, they're using dedicated servers...

TWAB posted:

Every activity in Destiny 2 is hosted by one of our servers. That means you will never again suffer a host migration during your Raid attempt or Trials match. This differs from Destiny 1, where these hosting duties were performed by player consoles and only script and mission logic ran in the data center. To understand the foundation on which we’re building, check out this Destiny 1 presentation from GDC. Using the terms from this talk, in Destiny 2, both the Mission Host and Physics Host will run in our data centers.

That sounds great, tell me mo--

Also TWAB posted:

Wait, so we do have dedicated servers?

Matt: We don't use that term, because in the gaming community, “dedicated servers” refers to pure client-server networking models. Destiny 2 uses a hybrid of client-server and peer-to-peer technology, just like Destiny 1. The server is authoritative over how the game progresses, and each player is authoritative over their own movement and abilities. This allows us to give players the feeling of immediacy in all their moving and shooting – no matter where they live and no matter whom they choose to play with.

I mean, we all knew that's what was going to happen anyway. Nobody is surprised. This just sounds like one excitable moron taking a quote out of context after they already explicitly stated that there were no dedicated servers.

Yeah 6v6 will need new maps if I am hearing bungie correctly, will probably be a "feature" in whatever expac kicks off the 2nd year of D2. Hell we could possibly get an 8v8 mode with vehicles n poo poo.

Yeah, I gotta say it's kind of lovely for them to have a badass tank in the game but then leave it completely out of multiplayer. At least a couple 8v8s with pikes and tanks would be pretty fun.

They should do mayhem combined arms but increase the mobility of interceptor and increase the rate at which vehicles spawn.

Don't worry I guarantee Activision will eventually descend on Bungie and be all "okay guys it's been fun but emotes aren't bringing in enough bucks, ramp that poo poo up."

And presto you'll pay $5 four 5 vault slots, $20 for 20 vault slots or BEST VALUE!!! $50 for 55 vault slots!!

When RoI rolled around I did a massive vault cleaning and the only y1 stuff I kept were my original faction cloaks, original hunter armor set, og Khostov, Vestian Dynasty, and my BTRD. And I still thought that was an awful lot of stuff to keep around for sentimental reasons.

Of course, other than the BTRD I never had any of the crazy y1 god roll things.
