No one has the ship yet and the schematic icon looks nothing like Nanophoenix, so I'm pretty sure he's just guessing.

pretty worried about the new season's content if bungie, the very definition of unearned confidence, aren't comfortable letting the meat of the new season be what brings eyes back to the game and are relying on releasing the raid right off the bat to do the marketing

It'll be too little content delivered over too long a period with a month of Nothing tacked on to the end.

I've also never seen an ounce of confidence out of them during this Annual Pass experiment. They've been Unveiling the new content typically in ViDocs about 4 days prior to launch.

Also the new raid is the meat. There will be some new horde mode too no doubt, but it will be bad.

D2Y3: 1.5 months of content spread over 9 months with a few dead months thrown in so things don't get too exciting.

But Bungie only has like a 1 year turnaround on Whisper/Outbreak missions so there will be a pretty cool thing for everyone in 2020 to spend an hour a week on for a few weeks!

This is literally correct, I believe, since we're getting another Annual Pass for

September 2019

December 2019

March 2020

and then a free Age of Triumph event from June through September before we get guaranteed-turd Destiny 3 in September 2020

If it isn't painfully obvious to everyone already, we are living through a period of Destiny's life where there will be tons of "The DARK secret behind closed doors, BUNGIE'S 2019 Revealed!!!" articles.

Ok now that I don't have some dumb bounty to knock out I kinda like playing Gambit & Prime if I just kill things with Skullfort and don't really care about winning that much.

Also people generally aren't running QB/Sleeper any more. I'm running Hammerhead with Jotun and killing lots of Invaders now. It's fun.

Is Reckoning worth doing before you unlock Tier 3?

I think you have to run reckoning to get tier 3, but it's not worth wasting resources on the armor at lower levels. It can drop the new Gambit guns too.

If they're smart they won't try to appeal to a broader audience like they tried to do with d2 but rather appeal to the d1 core audience and rely on d3 getting a better player base from executing what Destiny does well to the best of their ability.

It's a step in the right direction compared to watering down literally every aspect of d1 for d2 to try and get more mouth breathers throwing money at their screen for a chicken dance.

Well, it's new, which means it's better than Outbreak Perfected, so you should do it.

It's not a real workhorse exotic except for the occasional crucible stunt video. You'd basically be doing the quest to fill in that slot on the collection screen. You also need it to do the "make Ada glowy" mission and cap off the Black Armory storyline, for what that's worth.

Not like :ssj: glowy, more like the striated aura on the bosses or a weapon with the obsidian thingy installed. But she's really happy about it.

I know "mon" means man, but I don't think "Och" means anything.

That cutscene was like the most baffling thing I've seen in this game. I had no idea what was happening, why it was happening, etc, and nobody in the cutscene says anything to explain what it is. I thought my game had broke and I had only seen like half the cutscene or something. But whatever, now she's glowy for some reason, so cool.

It's not very clear even if you've read all the lore.

Izanagi's Burden makes cool sword sound effects when you reload so it's worth it for that alone.

Emron

The best part of making her glow is that it gets played off like this huge triumphant thing but there's literally zero gameplay effect. Isn't she being turned into a mobile forge? That would be awesome if it meant anything at all!

You have to go to the Salt Mines in EDZ and jump around until you find a little teleporter that takes you to a camp with a fire pit and you find the busted rear end Thorn in the ashes.

Go to the very end of the Salt Mines (up the elevator/teleporter, where you talk to Hawthorne in an early mission). Go to the top of the hill and look for a place you can jump to further beyond the short hallway. Somewhere in that new area is the pickup to start the quest.

there's no prompt for it. it's in an EDZ camp area you would never find playing normally. also 2 other people beat me to this

I suddenly have way too many weapons I enjoy using. Crucible for me for the last several months has been Last Perdition + Dust Rock. Then I finished the Luna's grind and I have that in my arsenal now (but have yet to fire it in Crucible because I was loving sick of it and switched over to Gambit to get Delirium, which I finished last night), plus getting Fabled in Comp got me Recluse, which is rad as gently caress.. During the Luna's grind for hand cannon kills, I realized I really like Last Word. Now we have Outbreak Prime, which is rock solid, but I had a god-roll Blast Furnace that I love for PvE, but now there's barely any reason to use it over Outbreak other than pure range.. What the gently caress, I went from nothing to way too much.

Staying varied in your pvp loadout is super fun. About the only exception on that for me is that incredibly lovely map Equinox. Jade Rabbit all day gold medal factory.

Got and finished the Hard Light catalyst (needs 1k kills but a single green room pass netted me 800). The bump in stability isn't noticeable in the slightest because of the screen shake. :(
