Some dude was streaming the full game but it was shut down. Some images made it out and I'm sure more poo poo like that is gonna be happening this week. Some non spoiler hot takes: vault space is more cluttered but bigger than vanilla Destiny (shocking), the ocean planet looks sick, some of the character modes look pretty iffy.

They already migrated a bunch a few weeks ago. Match making in pvp got real fucky all of a sudden and tower instances went weird then they maintenanced.

I think as the player base winds down they'll be switching more over.

People keep panicking about launch having server issues but they're doing a rolling launch so it should be ok. The biggest tests will be when the us goes live. If nothing else theres gonna be a good 15 hours aus players will get with smooth sailing.

Even from the trailer for EDZ, Demrin looks like they just didn't even try to lipsynch him properly.

I remember using a VPN to get onto Battlefield 4 early with all the other goons. Those few hours before US hit were the best, then the game went to poo poo for the rest of the year. :v:

Yeah, the Borealis is an Exotic sniper that lets you swap between all 3 damage types at will.

See, the video says "change damage type at will", which makes me think of a toggle but the context makes it look like it changes elements whenever you reload, which seems a bit more cumbersome.

Ularg posted:

It would be pretty contrived if they did that with Ghaul. Hive bosses were kinda written that way because of their Throne Worlds. Ghaul would have to be like "YOU HAVENT BEATEN ME YET" and slump off and come back with cybernetics or something.

I'm sure we'll beat him in the campaign, but I'm also sure the campaign will prop up a bigger bad to be slain.

I really just want more raids like VoG, quiet, mysterious. Not trying to out-epic the last raid set pieces.

I dunno. Vault was really cool for what it was and its place in the story, but part of what made it special was how unknown raids in general were at the time. We had no idea what the mechanics and bosses and such were gonna be like. That's not gonna happen again. People know what the raids are gonna be like, now so I dunno if you could do that quiet experience that suddenly has you fighting a crazy time-bending machine god again.

I love Vault, but I honestly kinda prefer the CE/KF/WotM approach of paying off the campaign with a bunch of crazy setpieces and bosses. I think Wrath struck a good balance, in particular. We knew SIVA and the Splicers were the enemy, but Aksis was only mentioned in a throwaway line prior to the raid so when you get to the end and see what you're up against, it's still pretty out of left field.

Ty & good luck, try to avoid Poseidon's anger.

Wondering how lost sectors fit into the new ecology of stuff to do. Like, basically a mini-strike? Hopefully there'll be something a lot different like actual tasks or different ways to do stuff besides the classic "shoot while the ghost beams a thing" or "shoot and then have the ghost beam a thing" or "shoot a specific number of bad guys to harvest their butts." Butt harvests can be a lot of fun, but you can only do so many in a row.

I did like that one taken mission where it actually came up with the success screen and then the ghost was like "oh poo poo nothing works, can't transmat, we gotta run home!" If they got creative with a handful of little moments like that and mixed everything up enough it could end up being really cool.

- Different supers.
- A remix of old elements in different order and with more urgency. I beliefe the limit was 2 races for planet, and the patrol area have all of them (5?), so every mission will have much more variety.
- New enviroments for the new patrol areas (like the vexified alien planet in the beta)
- New exotics and with changes in the game, a different way to look at min-maxing stats.
- A new campaing
- Some new enemies, then old enemies that feel new
- Remixed PvP with different maps and different game modes

Everything is changed, tuned, modified or remixed, except the halo-like weapons feel, the basic destiny feel.

I like the idea behind the Adventures. Seems like something they could add more of somewhat easily since they use the existing patrol areas. Some of the most fun I had with Destiny 1 was relaxing after work by doing some bounties and running around in patrol shooting aliens, so more patrol stuff sounds like fun to me.
