"We’re taking the time we need in development of Expansion 2 that will allow us to react to player feedback from Curse of Osiris. In the coming months, we’ll talk to you more about what you can expect to find in Destiny 2’s next story. The team is eager to show you what they’ve been working on.

Independent of Expansion 2, the team will deliver a number of new features that will be released before or during Season 3. Every player of Destiny 2 will receive new content in the following categories…"

I have no doubt they'll disappoint, but they were fully willing for DLC2 to come out long after Season 3 if it didn't give them "time we need".

I can't wait for the next patch to be "added variable ground clutter to all maps" and then have collision be broken so hard that they have to disable jumping.

The way they talk about 6v6 is very concerning

I get the feeling it's going to be minimally implemented, like a single gametype playlist available (hopefully) weekly

That dmg04 guy is fielding questions in reddit and it's p funny.

Part of why the exotic balance was pushed back a month is because they realized "running one strike or a crucible match with the gun or the helmet doesn't tell you enough" and so now they test things in both pve AND pvp

"Like the Prometheus Lens issue you called out, we're looking to apply more love to testing multiple game modes in an attempt to avoid this happening again"

lol

Also he swears that snipers will be viable in pve and pvp after this. Promises!

I mean, if you can crank up the power high enough that they'd be BROKEN (1hit kill on body shot in crucible, do 10x damage in PvE) they can hopefully be balanced.

But I agree that the current crucible maps don't have more than 1 or 2 total places where sniping is even possible.

There's plenty of places in PVE they could be useful if other weapons weren't more powerful and fun.

You never get those kind of distances in crucible, of course.

No, and nobody would use a Sidearm over a Shotgun, Sniper, or Fusion Rifle in D1.

Their solution was stupid and involved very esoteric and conflicting Special Ammo rules, so I have no doubt their solution here is going to be something awful like "Snipers passively regen 1 bullet every 8sec" or "Sniper ammo is maintained on death" or "Every other Power Ammo spawn is sniper-only"

Think of the dumbest solution you can, give it Downs, and that's what they're gonna dish up

I'm disappointed by the Exotic pass not reaching us until 1.2.0 but it's not a huge issue when the non-Exotic balance pass is still in 1.1.4, and it sorta makes sense with MW Exotics debuting at the same time so they'll be especially shiny and new then. I'm ultimately into it.

Nightfall Weapons, ehh. New Faction weapons this week and more IB presumably before then, so they probably fit better in 1.1.4 anyway to keep up the steady release of new guns before S03/1.2.0.

The weapon/ability pass is the most important anyway. Buffed exotics and a new funny hat from the Nightfall won't matter if we're still waiting 5 hours for a grenade

Depends on the map or situation but probably not tbh. I know some dudes who were insane with a sniper rifle in d1 who would have though.

All snipers need is a flinch reduction and a PVE damage buff imo.

Agreed. I'd have timers vary based on how good the grenade is. A pulse should take longer than a lightning, an arc bolt should take longer than a sticky etc but lower all of them. As long as they don't make sticky nades a OHK anything they do will probably be an improvement.

I don't mind it too much so long as things are properly balanced and everything works. I'd be pretty disappointed to get a balance patch only to see something become the new prometheus lens that won't be fixed for months. The stuff they've said about sunshot and the exotic pulse sound good so far and the stuff they did with fighting lion the last time worked well. Ideally we'll see the meta shaken up but because of buffs and not nerfs.

The Uriels is fine for example, but you'd see less of them if you could do effective damage with a pulse rifle or hand cannon. Hand cannons are in a good place if they just removed bloom and gave it a whiff of a damage buff. 5 shots to the body with a 140 fire rate with ghost bullets is a little hard from SMG range. 2+2 is fine but when you're in one of those kind of fights and you get a ghost bullet you want to punch your monitor.

Because everyone assumed with the way Bungie was pitching it that it'd be used for some kind of procedurally generated Prison of Elders or something and instead it turned out to be a slightly randomized, glorified loading screen.
