I wouldn’t expect Last Wish to get a major revamp, just red borders and perk refreshes and an origin trait like DSC. Vault and KF had to be ported to the D2 environment and sandbox so they may as well throw in some tweaks

I don’t even think we can count on them giving us a doodad to purchase drops from at the end, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed

that would be a pretty LOL implementation and might make some lore nerds mad but i support it

They do have the thing you deposit at the end maybe they can make the chest? or just pick one of the 50 chests in the room and thats the special one? add a glow?

Correct, specifically it’s Savathun’s wish to take the Dreaming City.

The teaser + the gifs of the 3 new strand aspects in action = the typical season trailer anyway

Last year when they did this same thing for Haunted (no trailer, not even a whisper of what planet we were going to) they later explained it as "a trailer can be summarized and critiqued and we want the season itself to be what people are experiencing"

Or in other words, "a brief summary of this season would have sounded like poo poo lol"

It smacks of low confidence but you can also visit any of the usual leak sources if you want to know what the rewards and activities are!

Imo there's always enough set pieces in a season to make a great sizzle reel. Haunted had solar 3.0, returned leviathan + Calus (set up in risen), Sever missions, Duality dungeon, etc. Heck if the trailer was just "austringer and beloved being crafted" people would have flipped.

Did everyone forget that there was in fact a trailer, it very much did show Austringer and Beloved, and people lost their poo poo?

The trailer was meant to go live with the season just like tomorrow, but it leaked early from like Brazil or something. And it was still only a few hours before go-time. It was the most radio silent they'd ever been about a season!

Also the season sucked, IMHO. I think they're showing more of Deep because they have SOME confidence in it, but Haunted was all cards close to the table because they knew it was a dead man's hand

Yes, there was a haunted trailer- one day in advance. Which is technically more than we're getting here, but not exactly the multi-stage marketing people seem to want

True blind drops only used to happen when there was also a big plot twist, Season of the Lost I think did that

The expected season launch time is 10AM PST logins permitted, 11AM PST maintenance complete. They're giving themselves additional downtime headway this time in case something breaks (everyone gets kicked off shortly after 8AM) so maybe this time it won't extend into the evening, but yeah, they haven't exactly earned trust here lately

Tomorrow's lost sector exotic is chest slot, so Titans will be able to get a brand new seasonal exotic armor piece

Tuck one in the postmaster today if you're so inclined! Much easier to earn them with artifact mods unlocked than tomorrow.

So what the gently caress's up with my Defiant Engrams at the War Table!

Apparently they're all going POOF tomorrow, but then how the hell do I purchase Defiant Weapons at the HELM next season? Deep Engrams used by both vendors?

I'm trying to find a specific cite for this and haven't yet, but based on what they've said so far and how previous seasons have worked I'm expecting that the defiant battleground playlist becomes the only source of defiant engrams and keys in the game. Everything else, both the new activity and the ritual playlists, will drop deep engrams. So you can grind up to buying defiant gear, it'll just be far slower than it was when defiance was the current season

I'm also guessing that there won't be a "defiance enabler" item like there was for season 16-18, since there's no seasonal resource to earn other than defiant engrams and keys

I will be rather miffed if they wipe out my defiant engrams to 0 and then they tell me to go earn some defiant engrams, not gonna lie!!

(It's a moot issue for people who got all the patterns already but I've just been buying my 1x guaranteed redframe a week and using my enormous pile of Defiant Engrams)

Sony doesn't care about Bloodborne, and at this point they expect the players not to care anymore either.
