FYI the armor perks in the armor set bundles will be random once you open the package. I previewed the Hunter set on the store and I liked the perks, like Traction on the boots. So I said gently caress it and bought it. I previewed the package (I could still refund it at that point) and the perks were all the same. Then I opened it, and they were all different. And no Traction on the boots.

I thought that if they were selling premade sets the perks would be static but nope. Serves my dumb whale rear end right for wanting to support an independent studio that makes stuff I like.

No 'new' Vanguard weapon (bringing a y1 gun forward)

No 'new' Crucible weapon (bringing a y1 gun forward)

The Iron Banner additions are Gunnora's Axe (slug shotgun) and Shining Sphere (the worst rocket launcher archetype)

No idea what the new content is like but it's disappointing that these extremely low efforts weren't made

They should start everyone a Bad Juju with a 15 round mag, no super regen ability, and smoke that blocks field of view when ADS and have a quest to upgrade it up to the post balance patch version.

All guns give some super energy on kill

Bad Juju used to give extra bonus super energy on kill

Hilariously the best way to use a gun to generate super is to create masterwork orbs, so Bad Juju will become Good Juju only when we get the catalyst

The original D1 perk was to refill clip with free bullets, briefly increase damage, and grant extra super on kill. I don't know what it is now.

Iron Banner is going to be slightly better than last season but still near franchise low

Armor is gone from reward engrams

Armor, with enhanced perks, is earned (and possibly added to the engram pool) per character based on a 5 step questline, each step granting 1 piece of armor

The new weapons are Gunnora's Axe (slug shotty) and Shining Sphere (adaptive rocket)

No new triumphs so the new guns are just in the pool

Seems like you can hand in tokens at the start of IB and only receive weapons.

Lot of uncertainty as far as whether the 7 weekly bounties will be back and what the rewards would be, since armor is granted from a quest line and not bounties.

Menagerie is really good. It's the closest thing you're gonna get to a matchmade raid that actually works. I only ran it once and it was better than pretty much everything from PoE to Black Armory, and definitely better than Reckoning.

So per psion fanfiction, the Darkness is predicted to arrive in 118 years. Are we gonna see a "118 years later" gap for D3? That would be cool and would also automatically solve the problem of how we're going to unite with the fallen or whatever

We'll play D2 for one more year and then there will be a "117 years later" so Bungie can sneak in a Halo reference & their favorite number

So you'd rather do a normal strike with no modifiers, instead of a strike with a burn and a modifier combo that will often make the strike take at least half as long to complete?


Why?

Lemme be a little clearer

Complete strikes using the same subclass as the currently active elemental burn.

I don't like this dumb requirement, that doesn't mean I want burn modifiers to go away.

The temporary 720 cap seems to be working well for those on the final raid boss. Without spoiling it, there's a ton of coordination and a lot of open areas where you can be killed very quickly. The final boss is at 740 I believe.

None of the other weekly bounties have that kind of condition to them. It's stupid, I would occasionally forget to check what other people were running, or they'd switch and the end, and I wouldn't get any credit and now I've just wasted my time. Why have it in the first place? You don't have to switch your subclass to take advantage of a burn. I'd rather play the way I want to. I'm okay with challenges, but that's not a challenge, it's a stupid gotcha
