-The new subclass is "prismatic", and lets you use two elements at once. Which two depend on your class

-The new faction is the Dread, a group of Witness-themed enemies which can use strand and stasis at you

-Exotic class items, which drop with the perks of 2 other exotic armors chosen at random

Was it just two elements? I thought I saw 3 different colours on the bar at the start.

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?

I kind of hate the idea of random rolling the exotics especially if the choices are large enough. That said this whole thing kind of got me more hyped than I thought it would.

Nah. Not until long after launch with huge discounts anyway. It looked really mid. Now I know they're actually serious about delivering an actual ending expansion.

I'll have to go back and check, that's based on remembering the brief segment where they listed off a number of class/subclass pair combinations

Someone will probably post detailed and more accurate notes on Reddit soon, or there will be real press coverage with official info

The guy was very adamant that this is not The End of destiny and destiny 2 but he can't tell you what he means until after you buy the Final Shape


The Episodes seem like they're on the backburner though. Been a minute since we heard anything on those!

Looks like the set prismatic abilities are locked to each class but you can mix and match all the subclasses for base abilities.

I have been down on Destiny for a while but this was pretty hype.

Hunters get solar/stasis
Titans get arc/strand
Warlocks get void/stasis

You can fill your meter using dark or light weapon damage, that’s probably the three elements you saw.

Did they talk much about Lightfalls' seasons before it was out?

Doesn't seem like there's much reason to talk about them yet.

Frankly the biggest thing suppressing TFS Hype is the concern that it's the end of the game. There has never been a more important time to talk about them!

The best thing they did to hype up Beyond Light was to announce Witch Queen and Lightfall at the same time

But to answer your question, yes, they usually confirm the existence of & content within the year's Seasons once there's a Deluxe Edition to pre-order. I know Episodes are the replacement to Seasons now that they are shifting into a different gear for this chapter of Destiny 2, so it's reasonable that the marketing is taking a different approach

They showed a specific part where warlock was using bleak watcher and arcane needle?
And titan was using consecration with suspension?

Didn’t a bunch of streamers tell bungie that it was bad? It has zero appeal to me but I can see why they would try but making it a hero shooter seems even weirder but I’m no game dev.

I also still have zero faith in the episodes, in my mind, this is just destiny going out with a bang.

They were Tarkov streamers, so I'm inclined to believe the opposite is true for people who aren't Tarkov streamers

I agree that the concept doesn't sound very appealing right now, but I'm trying to hold out at least until they show gameplay

When you activate transcendence, you get new prismatic abilities, like the stasis/solar grenade, that are themed as the guy you quoted. When you aren’t transcended, you get to mix and match the regular subclass abilities.

There is absolutely no reason to believe that a group of Tarkov Players were invited to watch gameplay footage of Marathon, IMHO

Interesting reversal of D1's initial 'warlocks don't get arc, titans don't get solar and hunters don't get void' situation. So every class gets a bonus superclass?

Presumably the other elemental combinations are gonna be part of future releases.

Also the new exotic class items are only active while you're running Prismatic

"You have to use the most powerful subclass in order to use the most powerful exotic", is not the hardest pill to swallow! I just wonder why you would ever consider running an OG subclass & exotic?

Oxyclean

I'm still not sure the bit about each class getting 2 elements for prism is right, reddit notes mention:

You can combine subclass powers together. Warlock can wield Void and Stasis together for example

Because the season/episode teams weren't told about this in time, so the launch seasonal/episodic artifact and exotic are going to require void.

I am a bit curious about that! Prism was supposed to be a feature of the assumed-canceled/repurposed D3, and quite literally the extra few months was so they could get it out for TFS instead. Hopefully that means it can be integrated nice and elegantly?



I wonder what would be preferred by more people, anyway. A Destiny 3 SKU with shiny new 0/600 vault? Or if they just support Destiny 2 with another ~two years of content that was originally planned as D3?
