The Virgin Drifter: Experiments with the Taken because he's scared of the dark

The CHAD Calus: Puts a Hive crown on a Cabal to create a Hive/Cabal hybrid abomination because he thinks it'll be really funny

Penumbra >>>>> Joker's Wild > Literal Shit > Black Armory

The new lore is great. Calus truly is the best character.

My personal favourite:

Spoiler

We invite the Drifter to a feast on the leviathan. We feed him a pastry with a metal centre, and he feasts on it.

That pastry was his ghost, and our guardian suffocates the now mortal Drifter by forcing food down his throat before he can even react.

Imagine going so hard on the recycled content that you literally release the original tutorial as DLC

It’s not though. The Cosmosrome level is what new players will play with the free version that’s coming out. And the location in the actual expansion is the same location on the moon from Destiny 1 but they said it’s twice as big.

I really hope Shadowkeep advances the story in some way, this past year has been nothing but filler or teases for future content.

Also disappointed that Crown of Sorrow is yet another filler raid. D2's raids are fun for the most part but feel very inconsequential especially compared to the D1 raids.

I'm a little disappointed how ugly the raid guns are when the armour is like the sexy fusion of original leviathan and trials armour

Bungie really have been killing it since they left Activision.

It looks like we may get our first taste of The Darkness. Bungie was dropping strong hints about them all throughout the ViDoc. And in an interview Luke Smith said the burst of energy the Traveler let out at the end of D2 leads into this. Also in the ViDoc I saw 3 floating shadow figures. Towards the end.

On another note I've been reading some of the entries of The Chronicon I've picked up. I'm not sure whether I should believe what I'm reading or not.

when will they bring back SRL

A Cheese Potato · July 07, 2019, 11:03:36 AM

Almost a year late, but finally beat Last Wish flawlessly to be Rivensbane. Crown of Sorrow is gonna be easy to flawless compared to that. Whenever they fix the glitch with the final encounter anyway

big dog · July 07, 2019, 11:20:53 AM

Crown of Sorrow is actually pretty fun having now played through the entire thing. It reminds me of Spire of Stars, but good. Final boss is a bit chaotic but not a complete headache, and is just about lenient enough that the slightest mistake doesn't cause a wipe.

I'll wait until its Free to Play.

I think only the base game is going to be f2p. Forsaken / seasons and stuff are still things you’d need to buy.

Fine by me.

Shards of Galanor are so fucking broken in Mayhem it's great.

big dog · July 16, 2019, 05:08:06 AM

So in Season of the Undying there are going to be "Vex Invasions" across the solar system which I hope means the Vex are going to be relevant to the story for the first time since vanilla D1.

Had you told me back in 2014 that the Cabal would be the most relevant alien faction and the Vex would do nothing for 5 years I would have thought you were joking but here we are.

A Cheese Potato · July 16, 2019, 09:32:33 AM

can't be any worse than Curse of Osiris in terms of learning more about the vex

The Vex were in Curse of Osiris?

Mmmmm Napalm · July 21, 2019, 02:51:42 AM

Is the post-forsaken stuff worth it? Been wanting to get back into it, as I wasn't able to do the raid with anyone and just kinda stopped playing.

Mmmmm Napalm · July 21, 2019, 02:54:47 AM

Oh damn, I forgot cross saves will be a thing. Tbh I might get the game on Xbox One then, and play with you guys.

Overall, yes. The individual DLCs vary in quality but as a whole they give you a lot to do. The game in its current state is probably the best it's ever been.

Black Armory is shite but has a really fun raid.
Joker's Wild is good if you like Gambit but also contains the weakest PvE activity in the game.
Penumbra is hands down one of the best DLCs the game's had. It could have easily been two DLCs with the amount of content it has. Menagerie is one of the best activities in the game, Crown of Sorrow is really fun and Tribute Hall gives you more incentive to do other activities and comes with an Exotic Quest.

Alright, cool. It's good to hear the game has been improving.

Well the raid is in the Black Garden... And Vex invasions is probably Quria shenanigans. Which they've been teasing her and Savathun both since the base game.

I've fallen so far behind on the lore, haven't kept up since before the Taken King released. Anyone have a good guide to the additions/developments that have happened since then?

I will pay triple the price of Destiny 3 if it means there will be no PvP whatsoever.
