I never played the Rise of Iron expansion but I remember reading about the introduction of artifacts and thinking that they were a cool idea. Are these going to be present in Destiny 2 or have they been scrapped?

There's still a slot in that place in the images we've seen of the character screen, FWIW.

I heard or read somewhere that the artifact slot is now some kind of a clan tag thing. Could be wrong though.

Hey look the entire Sentinel perk tree.

http://imgur.com/a/j5pQQ

Top tree has melee overshield, Ward of Dawn. Bottom tree has Shoulder Charge, cooldown buffs on kills.

The healing on melee kill is my poo poo. Running transfusion helped me win a bunch of 2v1s I had no business winning.

I think shaders for guns and energy perks will probably be like chroma. Use it and it's gone otherwise theres going to be no point in chasin that carrot if you can just pop em in and out.

I wonder if theres going to be some kind of advantage to running say an arc class and having an arc weapon like kills increase cool downs or do bonus damage against pve enemies.

This sounds like the perfect thing to include in dlc down the line.

Pretty sparse on much other than there was a whole lot in destiny pvp that the community found fun but the designers didnt like.

I'm hoping this is a lot of the trash. I like that he mentioned that his goals didnt mesh with the original destiny goals of everyone in the crucible should have fun and deserves a hug.

Might be referring to loot drops and super easy to use clutch class poo poo like shotgun/stormcaller but I hope he means poo poo like mayhem and match making algorithms.

No patrol but the new open-world discovery ish like that symbol on the cliff side in the video may be able to be found in the strike, tho the further areas are guaranteed turned off or likely not even in the thing.

None of that Nessus stuff is in the beta though (except whatever's part of the included strike). It's just a random preview video.

Just play it the first couple of weeks, get your whatever house and never touch it again unless you're a sweat lord.

I will be playing Destiny on the Personal Computer probably but would like the demo to be accessible on my PS4 if I download it. If I use the free preorder code to activate the demo for my PS4, will I be locked out of playing the PC demo at all? Can you even do what I'm describing and get a ps4 demo key with a PC preoder?

The code is for early beta access, so assume the beta will open later to non buyers on the PC as well.

edit: when you enter your code on bungie's beta site, you specify which platform you want early access on

Do we have a countdown or something when servers open?

*edit* Forget it. I have created one.

Based on this:

quote:

Destiny 2 developer Bungie is about to launch the beta on PS4 and Xbox One.

Start times and dates all depend on which platform you own and whether or not you pre-ordered the game.

PS4 owners get first dibs on the Destiny 2 beta, which starts at 6pm UK time on July 18, but only for pre-order customers. US fans can check out the Destiny 2 beta on July 18 at 10am PST.

The beta timeline continues on July 19 for Xbox One pre-order customers at 6pm UK time and 10am PST.

If you didn't pre-order the Destiny 2 beta, then you can join in on July 21 at 6pm UK time and 10am PST. That's on PS4 and Xbox One.

The beta comes to an end two days later on July 23, although exact times are yet to be revealed.
