Now, we think that a steady stream of novel game modes, and a reining in of player Power is going to do a lot for the health of our PvP ecosystem, but we’re still committed to keeping true to our Crucible maps plan, which means the arrival of Meltdown in Season of the Deep, a brand new Vex Network map in Season 22, and the return of Citadel in our last Season before The Final Shape. We will also be looking at our existing maps and doing a spawn retuning pass on many of them this year to improve how our various modes flow.

looks like the theory about it being us fighting Nezarec in the old tower was wrong. This looks sick as gently caress though, and the descrption makes me think it might set up some post final shape poo poo.

Looks like the Pyramid the Traveler terraforms in the trailer is the raid location? So another disciple inside or something more...primal?

the raid splash screen explains it’s a Pyramid ship that has been terraformed, presumably through the means we saw a split-second of in the trailer

When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

Well that HoIL nerf feels incredibly huge. I thought it might get touched some but that the general nerfing of abilities all around might have kept it from getting hammered. Turns out nope. In better news, I was able to finish a legend seraph mission with a friend and got all four catalysts. I appreciate people in here offering to help but my friend was stuck in the same spot so we just wrecked it. Revision feels pretty nice when it has good perks and a catalyst.

Still dumb.

The mod system really is going to have to knock it out of the park to make up for the across the board ability/stat nerfs.

Whatever I'll still play the poo poo but goddamn. I'm still hmbol they didn't do poo poo for gambit or stasis. Amazing.

Loreley Helm even better than ever now

Fully sick Silver Only ornament for it too

HOIL recharge rate is only nerfed for Class Ability, right? The recharge rate for grenade/melee is the same? (other than lasting 5s instead of 10s)

Still the best pick since you get more powerful abilities on top of bonus regen IMHO

Empowered duration was also reduced to 5s instead of 10, so that's a pretty big nerf all around.

I still have no idea why they went with the Megamind-esque design for the Witness. There was concept art I think I recall seeing where it looked kind of like a space pharaoh, and that was pretty sweet and matched up with the whole Pyramid aesthetic, no idea why they ditched that in favor of somebody with big ol' Pixar character eyes.

Whoa! You're gonna be a legend!
As always with Bungie nerfs, the question of HoiL is going to be if in practice it retains enough of an advantage to be worth the exotic slot.

The WQ paradigm of it being so good you could run entire swathes of content without ever having to fire a gun at anything is 100% stone dead. Fair enough, I had a blast, but I can see why they would do that. It was a little silly, and sucked up most of the oxygen for general use builds.

The nerf to class ability specifically is a response to being able to get Thruster's cooldown to, like, 5 seconds and thus be able to maintain x2 grenade and melee nearly indefinitely. It's probably going to end up in a use space where, if you were able to use your grenade and melee once in a given encounter now you can use them twice because of the cut to cooldowns.

Considering the regrettably dire state of Titan exotics I'd probably still use that.

solar titans can run loreley's or synthos or even phoenix cradle, armamentarium is surprisingly good on arc titan grenadier builds assuming we get some kind of replacement for elemental ordinance or firepower, void titans have uhhhhh

actium war rig with that void target lock machine gun? helm of saint-14, for...some reason? i think nerfed hoil is probably still optimal on void titan, sadly.

Void titans’ only real options are Doomfangs and Helm of Saint 14 and I don’t see that changing.
