We already got enhanced versions of all the enemies, and they loving sucked balls. 90% of them teleport, yeah that's good gameplay!

On the upside, Cabal shields have a vulnerable point on them now. I was not looking forward to a campaign full of shield assholes, so I'm glad they made that change.

I've made this joke before, but there should be a raid boss that is just a giant D1 Cabal shield. No enemy behind it, just a big fuckoff shield. It runs around the room smacking you into walls. It takes no damage. You win the raid when you give up and turn your PS4 off.

For what it's worth [KINK] currently stands at 45 members and many of those are recent applications. Our Discord has an involved moderation team (who don't take it super seriously in a spergy way). We run coordinated LFG stuff nightly on D1 and we are pretty drat active as it stands.

And I don't care what's the "right" goon way to run a clan because that's not what Waffles and I set out to do. What we wanted was a cool group of active players who are chill and don't take this poo poo seriously. And I take Destiny about as seriously as I take choosing which episode of TNG to watch with dinner.

Call it INSERT REASON HERE N'Chill because we are inclusive and it doesn't matter why as long as you are chill. For all I care it's Sous Vide N'Chill. And it seems like I learned via this clan that sous vide is cool and good!

Just. Shoot. Mans.

If they do it'll probably be something like Ghaul has become a Guardian with the power of the light and at the end of the campaign you kill him but welp he's a loving Guardian so he just comes back and in the raid fight to actually kill him you have to blow up a bunch of generators or throw bombs into vent holes or something to make the robot spider attached to the traveler blow up so you can shoot him.

Yeah, maybe I'm hoping for too much. It will just be a mechanic implemented in like one story mission and parts of the raid, maybe

Sup I'm 7066 Nessus and I chill in an orbit somewhere between the inner and outer asteroid belts.

I remember reading somewhere that Nessus would be only available on a limited window, which I guess is kinda cool; maybe we'll get a "The Stars Align!" event where the whole Solar System is lit up and accessible at the "end" of Destiny 2.

I could see them rotating available missions/maps to keep them fresh, but you better be sure you have a poo poo load if you're gonna do that. Sorta neat idea, although if you're looking for like titan-specific guns or something and titan is in occlusion right now it's gonna suck poo poo 4u.

Is there any info about the current locations' situations in 2? Titan and dreadnaught are right next to each other, basically. Like moon & cosmodrome & dead zone.

I'd like to see some other earth zones too, someday.

There's a Tower announcement in Destiny 1 about a "Manhattan Nuclear Zone". Small things in Destiny have tended to refer to later content expansions in the game, but you never know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd be very, very surprised if all we got in D2 for Earth was the European Dead Zone throughout the course of the whole lifecycle of the game.

poo poo i haven't played one in like a year. Gonna have to pop in later.

One thing that I always made me think there would be multiple zones per planet was how it'd be like "name of place, ishtar, Venus" or whatever. I always thought there'd be multiple zones. I guess plaguelands counts but for some reason when it first came out I thought more zones would kick in faster, at a pretty steady rate. I did like the creative re use of locations for new missions. Also how in the beta the blown up tower was now a mission that was neat.

Really a cool thing about the setting is they could essentially make an infinite number of locations in the solar system, with a little bit of creativity. You can make it so each place is radically different but still fits into the visual or atmospheric theme of the planet it's on.

Plus if they're putting in crazy poo poo like random planetoids...

When one came out didn't they mention another dead zone focused around Chicago? What does "dead zone" even mean?

Another thing was how in the dreadnaught you have to actually put in a beacon, that was cool and I wish patrols was more that kinda stuff, where you had to extend and protect the influence of the city.

Hell, if they fleshed out assassination bounties and made it so you could and had to actually track down the fucker that'd be cool. Sort of like a dynamic mini strike.

E: obviously you can tie that into factions like ikora's spies or reef guys. Bungie feel free to get in touch.

E2: you should get loot like what silken codecs used to be, but depending on who you turn it in to you get varying faction rep on top of glimmer. Some factions only care about certain kind of items. Some are somewhat mutually exclusive. Bungee I need a new job let's do this

We know that they can do multi step patrols and repeating quests, so it would be a great additional feature. Especially if it encouraged fireteams for completion. Like a boss that needs a Golden Gun to bring down shields but a Titan punch to damage health. And if locating said boss was actually tricky in a very large patrol area.

This would be cool, but they should keep it so that teams are only required in actual strikes. A pick up kinda deal where it doesn't take huge investment in most cases.

They should keep track of what is actually done in game like "poo poo we're losing grip on the ring of Uranus, more bounties out there" and then later on "gently caress nobody did home patrols" and make it feel like that sorta stuff has an effect on the game world. Make it so zones with less city influence get more chance of crazy stuff happening.

I didn't think they ever had the traveler? I'll have to go read the lore cards again, but I thought it was alluded to that they were quite advanced and then got their poo poo pushed in somehow and they don't even remember what it was now and they're pirates who long for the old ways.

Nevermind, I found it. We may as well be fallen now, yarr matey.
