They made a big deal about how the Splicers are experimenting on the Hive. Like a 98% chance they show up in the raid

Honestly my only complaint with the story of this dlc is how your Ghost is like " oh yeah splicers are just a thing from fallen houses that we just haven't seen or mentioned ever before, anyway here is an info dump about them, got it?" It would have been better if it was more like, "whoa, what the gently caress are these new creepy fallen dudes?!" and then you spend the rest of the story missions learning about them.

But I guess it's a moot point because I'm just going to keep playing anyway. Dammit Bungie.

As much as I'd like to carry my character over, it might make it easier for me to make the switch to PC if I didn't have to worry about character transfer nonsense. It's probably a garbage rumor anyway but I would be super stoked to play Destiny on a nice PC.

I really can't see why they needed to start giving us lovely greens for weapon mats when a) you can buy them now (and armor mats too which frankly was even worse) and b) it's trivial to hit over 340 and now you're swimming in trash blues again enjoy the mats.

e: it's like there's a team that's been working on solving this problem since y1 unaware of all the developments since. "Hey guys, we finally solved that weapon mats supply issue" *emerges from vault of glass rocking chatterwhite and VoC*

I call bullshit on those rumors. I actually have a friend at Bungie and even with their friends they are secretive and cagey as gently caress with even seemingly innocuous info. If the leak is from Activision it might mean something but otoh I don't expect Activision to be that involved in the actual development.

Bummer about the exotic quests. You can pick up the same SIVA clusters with alts to count for that and I'm hoping the hard story missions can be farmed with alts too because gently caress doing the Khostov and Ghorn quests on hard.

No worries SRL is coming back in December and they've had to change the entire physics engine to unfuck the collisions, just something we'll have to live with.

I hope that's addressed in Destiny 2. I usually just drop down below and then come back up to find Archon's Forge groups, but last night I was wandering around and headed that way and I ended up walking with some other dude. We waved at each other and kept going and he just vanished at the top of the stairs, leaving me alone at the arena. Love those instances.
