Good list. If you play warlock I'd toss Bump in the Night from Haunted - it's an Stasis RL you can put chill clip and demolitionist on.

The great thing about bump in the night as it turns out is you can get chill clip at level 1 on the crafted version.

My crafted palmyra-B took about a dozen level ups to get chill clip unlocked.

Riptide is another stasis fusion that can roll CR/CC and you can focus Shaxxagrams for it right now if you can’t/don’t want to raid.

It’s not farmable at all (world drop), but keep an eye out for a Reconstruction/Chill Clip Aurvandil. You can get up to nine chill clip shots in there, it’s loving stupid. Only downside is it’s a high impact so the charge time is almost a full second.

My auto loading chill chip riptide is very precious to me. Shame it won't get used much next in lightfall with the strand guns going in the kinetic slot.

Do we know anything yet about what strand weapons will have to offer?

Stasis weapons seem like they're going right in the toilet, with the changes to kinetic weapon damage...

Apart from the seasonal exotics in the trailer, no clue at all. "green"

I know we're getting an exotic sidearm, whether that's quest or seasonal pass related I don't know. Of course that doesn't mean it won't be so tragic it gets vaulted on day 1 and never completed.

I think there is something really compelling about the high likelihood that something terrible happens to the Traveler but of course they can't spoil that in any of the pre-release stuff so all they can do is try and get the vibe across

I'm actually surprised the traveller shell isn't covered in graffitti and gang tags.

The only people I think who should be complaining are titans but also if they didn't learn from the 2022 class reworks and jump ship to a different class main already for variety then that's on them.

Sorry titans, you're just multicolor strikers of blandness and the one very good solar hammer build.

They're going to have to recap the ending for the people who don't play the seasonal content, because it'd be wild to come back and the traveller is just not there. Like "somehow Palpatine came back" level scene-missing poo poo.

Just tell them the traveller was impounded and sold for scrap at auction for being abandoned in low orbit without a parking permit.

The problem with the exorcism / witch queen intro was it lacked a fireteam of guardians in bright neon armor with rockets and machineguns waiting for the cocoon to crack standing behind Mara.

I have an incredibly stupid, old question that's been bothering me for a while:

What actually was the Taken Meatball?

I know it said "Taken Servitor" but why was it all fleshy?

Also I could have sworn that a voiceover said the Meatball was Riven? I don't think I ever replayed the Forsaken campaign, so I don't recall.

It was a reused asset.

I hope the witness is wearing pants under that robe skirt thing because it was certainly billowing a lot in flight.

I think my Palmyra-b is about level 197 or so. Used heavy since season 1.

With inherent tracking, auto loader and chill clip it's just a convenient burst swap weapon for random anything.

Personally I can't wait spend half an hour on each vanguard strike instead of 10 minutes. The weapon levelling process is too fast and needs to be slowed down.

After all how else will Bungie drive people back to gambit?

It's very simple. The nine are horse touchers, the witness is a flasher pervert (giant size, flowing robe, no pants, flies over you) and Clovis daughters are stealing our dog which is the greatest warcrime in the history of destiny.

The traveller? It's known by many names. Some call it... the eververse.

Exactly. Mara and Shaxx just cuddled over a poetry reading and nothing at all else happened. Saint 14 and Osiris are just good friends, nothing suss.

So what’s the over/under the reason as to why they introduced Neomuna and Cloudstriders in the penultimate Destiny expansion and then didn’t elaborate on them at all being because they’re the focus of one of Bungie’s other in-development games

Bad writing.

They must have hired some former bioware staff who expected everyone to read the tie-in novels and comics that nobody has ever heard of before to understand anything. Remember this guy? Well if you read my comic that only sold 100 copies to different municipal libraries you'd know!

Existing characters? Eww! (screws up nose in disgust) No what you want are all these cool new characters us new writers came up with, aren't they cool and awesome and stuff? You like them right? Of course you do! Buy plushies of them on the Bungie store and stuff.

That was my take away. Granted I haven't exactly marinated in this new expansion yet but I get a feeling this is just stuff thrown at a wall and no clear lead on the writing team.
