Update could be cool. More guns and maps and stuff to do is good.

D1 had a raid for every major/named expansion except for house of wolves which gave us a new arena and pvp mode anyway. I hope I'm right and thsy have a new full raid because if they don't it'll probably kill d2 for a lot of people.

I'm kind of hoping they bring back burning shrine too. I know it's reused content but that map loving owned.

Osiris was a creepy fucker who became obsessed with the Darkness and finding out how out how to murder it. Eventually he was driven crazy by some 'truth' he found about the relationship between the Traveler, the Guardians, the Ghosts, and the Darkness. They never say what this truth is but it apparently made him lose all faith in everything about the system he was working in.

At least that's what I vaguely remember from reading random lore cards from the new archive.

Yeah that map owned, adding more D1 PVP maps is completely fine with me as long as there are way more new maps.

99% expecting Ozy to now be a misunderstood soul who actually always believed in the Traveller and the guardians and is now in dire need of help from us, Super Guardian, to accomplish what he could not.

The same ability they had in D1?

Their heal is a lot faster in D2 but it's the same basic idea.

In Datto's video on this there's a shot from earlier in the jump and it looks much more like the Vex handcannon that is repeatedly shown off.

I obviously don't know that it is, but from the different angle it really doesn't look like Thorn at all.

If you're talking about this thing:



Ehhh. The silhouette image definitely evokes Thorn's distinct "chin". The frame on the above Vex hand cannon is less stout, and definitely has no Chin.

It might not be the Vex handcannon, but it sure doesn't look like Thorn with less sun glare.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A lot of people are reaching the conclusion that "new raid content" means VOG. It is, after all, where Osiris is fighting in the trailer

Not really sure how I feel about that, if true. I hope Bungie confirms/denies exactly what "new raid content" means soon.

Their new armor/weapon model game is on point though, all of the Titan armor in the trailer is far and away better looking than anything in the base game.

That's not entirely true, there was a still or two of Vex ruins that were covered in distinctly Venus-esque moss.

It is, however, entirely speculation at this point. I did appreciate that the Vex pulse is a redesigned Timepiece .
