There are so many threads in this game leading to "Guardian powers from something other than Light" that I'm sure we're getting more (sub?)classes eventually.

Wish list -

1. Taken subclass
2. SIVA subclass
3. Hawaiian shirts
4. Fallen class - I should not even have to specify that your Super makes you a 14 foot tall Archon that constantly barks out poo poo talk.

I hope they add a 4th class in an expansion or at least another subclass like they did in D1. What would it be tho?? Afaik there's only three damage types. What would a 4th class even look like? We've got warrior/rogue/wizard already...or master chief / gunslinger / ???

Bard.

No that's the 5th element you moron.

Though it would be pretty funny if the last boss in destiny involved guardians standing in a square each using a different element and channeling it into some supreme being that shot a white mega laser at the approaching pyramids.

Sort of

Destiny 1 did start with just 2 elemental specs per class, but eventually the classes got all 3 elements.
Destiny 2 starts off with all 3 per class.

Destiny 2 alternatives:

- Space battles: Osiris vs The Nine secret war.
- Nightmare Survival mode into the dungeons of the moon. Survive a entire moon rotation without dying or turning hive. Kill other guardians if you fall to the darkness.
- Drink "Vex Milk". Acquire random buffs for 4 hours, negative and positive.
- Dark Souls style player invasions
- God Crafting: create a god, give it powers, summon it once each day
- Corruptor mode: each week find random npc's and insert worm eggs in their skin without they noticing. Get dark rewards for infecting 10 npc's. The game would ideally add more npcs in the overworld to be infected or assasinated by guardians.

Very helpful (albeit sort of small/blurry) snapshot on mods I took from a Datto video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSAPdqTGw-Q

Anyone know whether mods can be used to get us beyond the 10 cap on resilience, mobility, and recovery? For example, if my armor's stats already have me at a 10 for resilience (the "cap"), can I still use two impact reduction mods to get me above that?

Every game needs a useless weapon so when you are killed by the useless weapon it add insult to the injury. With Destiny 1 it was No Land Beyond, until jerk turned it into a ironically good weapon.

Apart from Lord Saladin, Efrideet is the only Iron Lord to have survived the original SIVA outbreak. She kept her survival a secret from Saladin, having witnessed the fall of her friends and lost the will to fight. She eventually journeyed to the outer rim of the Solar System and joined a hidden enclave of Guardians who had learned to use their Light in peaceful ways. Centuries later, with the onset of the SIVA Crisis, Efrideet has returned to the Iron Temple to assist Saladin and fulfill her responsibility to the Iron Banner.[2]

I'm not well versed in Destiny. I played Destiny 1 but don't think I finished it. I rented Destiny 2 and finished the story, started a new character but didn't really want to do the story again...

What else do you do when the story is finished? I can do the same missions as before, go on "patrol" which seems to be "kill some enemies for 10 minutes", or do the public events which I like. Is there anything else to this game or do you just do the same stuff over and over again hoping for slightly better guns/boots/whatever?

quote:

This is my opinion on the topic. If you want end-game, top level rewards, you should be expected to do top level, end-game content that is moderately difficult. I'm sorry that you think the pathetic 240 Nightfall has a ball-bustingly difficult timer, but it does not, even this week. I'm sorry that you can't just roll over the Nightfall anymore and have free loot thrown at you. I'm not going to agree with someone who says "remove the timer and replace it with nothing" because then we just get the exact same thing as Destiny 1, which was not hard at all.

You wanna replace it with mechanics? You wanna replace it with bullet sponges? You wanna replace it with more majors? I don't care! Bungie isn't gonna throw mechanics into a strike, so that's out. People hate bullet sponges, that's out. People hate more majors, that's out. "Replace it with nothing." Fine, now you can get free raid loot, free trials loot AND free Nightfall loot for just logging into the game and being in a clan. I've yet to see a GOOD idea that keeps the difficulty of the Nightfall when replacing the timers, so if you have one, drop it here.

I'm sorry that you actually need to think for a couple of minutes and plan a route through the Nightfall. Hell, I did a run yesterday of the normal Nightfall with someone who just hit 260 and has never ran the strike before, doing very little skipping at all: 6 minutes left on the clock. At some point, I think some people need to go, "maybe it's me?". End-game activity should be end-game effort. It's 15-20 minutes to get it done where you gotta focus once per week. Is that REALLY asking too much? REALLY? 15 minutes?

But don't worry, because Bungie will succumb to the complaints of the masses and this poo poo will be nerfed by next expansion anyway, so you only need to deal with it for 3 months.

IF this is genuinely the direction it goes, I see it more being a Buff-based subclass, rather than a Heal-based class; a fourth element of some kind.

This, though, is a game about shooting things and making them die, so I could see it happen: "Efrideet teaches us how nice it is to empower and heal your friends in the balance of things. But as a contrast, we also can now Leech Life."

Timers are a bullshit crutch to ramp up difficulty without actually addressing the difficulty of the activity.

Making everything spawn as yellow bars is more difficult. Making me kill stuff in a limited amount of time turns what should be a chill game into speed runner bullshit.

Yeah the timer isn't the problem, the problem is that the boss peaces out and wastes a chunk of it as soon as you do any significant damage, also you can only get your health back by going to the area where enemies are dropping damage fields that mess with your movement. That whole encounter needs to be overhauled.
