"We are updating Raid rewards to make them more unique and interesting. They will now feature mods with Raid-specific perks, and we are adjusting the rewards to ensure a Raid item drops from each major encounter."

Am I reading this correctly that all our existing Raid Gear is obsolete and we need to reacquire it so that it'll have the pre-installed Mods?

I'm not necessarily complaining, mind you.

Or are they saying that Raid Mods themselves will be potential drops during the raid?

No. When they updated the perks on exotics like Lucky Pants, every copy changed retroactively.

They're updating mods for mod slot though, not inherent perks.

I got 10$ saying that Pinnacle is literally just gonna be a masterwork with 2 mod slots

This game is so starved for customization and tactical depth of any kind that even something as banal as two confusing and redundant mod spaces would be like a breath of fresh air

But maybe the mod rework will change this by having mods do something more interesting than "changes your agonizingly slow grenade recharge to be only achingly slow"

I think this means the armor upgrade slots will start looking a little more like they did in D1, with maybe the Raid perk where it was off to the right, like so:


I don't know what they'd doing with all this dead space in the armor perk screen otherwise:

Others in here have weighed in on some stuff (4v4 still being around, the weapon system being "2 primaries and a heavy" still)

Some stuff that I haven't seen mentioned:

How about our class skill trees having more than 2 choices (outside of grenades/jumps/whatever)?

Secret Exotic quests coming back? Lost Sectors being more than an afterthought? Dead ghosts?

Apparently bungie does.


6v6 is nice. adding pvp ranking is fine (maybe trying to bring streamers back and other people who give a poo poo about that stuff) but does nothing to make me want to play again because again the fact that there is gently caress all to do is not being addressed. I will say moving some of the customization out of the loving store to activity rewards is a nice change but again not one i give them credit for because it should never have worked that way in the loving beginning.

Ill come back for dlc 2 maybe depends on if Monster hunter is as good as it looks.

You know ive never thought of this but even this poo poo got reduced to nothing. i mean yeah the customization in one was minimal but it was better than 0 or 1.

Btw to help settle an argument im having how many exotic weapons and armor were added in dlc 1 that werent rehashes of D1 gear? anyone know?

If Shield Bash counts as an ability kill, I think it's probably more fun than eating a grenade.

They'd just find a stupid workaround, like how Chinese overwatch sells in-game currency with a 'free' lootbox instead of selling lootboxes.

I mean the only optimistic thing I can see is that private matches might get more interest from MLG tournaments, since the gunplay is the one thing the game still has going for it. It might be enough to drag a little more life out of the game, but I doubt it.

Well, at least I got excited dance.

Private matches will be cool. D1 had some fun tournament stuff toward the end. I even jumped into an American teams tournament on weekend. It adds something at least.

Ranked will be good too

They kinda outright said it:
"Hey, everyone. At the end of last year, I made a promise that I would update you on our plans for Destiny 2. The team has been hard at work and we’re ready to share where we are headed. We used to wait to talk about game updates until we were certain we could meet our deadlines to avoid letting players down if we changed our plans. No longer. We’re not just listening, we are doing. Please keep in mind that the further out we make promises, the more they are subject to change. With that caveat, here are our plans."
