Destiny 2: Warmind

big dog · April 24, 2018, 12:04:06 PM

So this is a thing coming out next month. Not much is known except it'll be set on Mars with Ice Hive and there'll be a new mode called Hive Escalation Protocol. Also from now on all Crucible maps will be available to all players in matchmaking (but the DLC needs to be purchased to use them in custom games) which is neat except Crucible is trash so it won't matter to me anyway.

There's a stream on now revealing more about the expansion. Hopefully it's less like Curse of Osiris and The Dark Below and more like House of Wolves. Destiny's content model has been shit ever since Destiny 1 and hasn't changed even with Destiny 2 so I'm not getting my hopes up. I fell for the Season Pass meme like some kind of IDIOT because I liked Destiny 2 when it first came out so I have no choice but to play this and get my money's worth (or not).

Story will focus on Rasputin, who has awoken, and will take place on the polar ice caps of Mars
New patrol zone with public event
Ana Bray from the Grimoire is an NPC
Hive Escalation Protocol takes place on the patrol zone, like a public event, but can be triggered by a player at any time, likewise other players can join in as they please. Action takes place in 7 waves, with a boss at the end of each wave. So a glorified public event
Emote wheel is now a thing
New Valor rank attached to Crucible quickplay, and Glory rank attached to competitive
Crucible rewards are presented to your right off the bat with details on how to obtain them
Private matches are back
And some changes to weapons

They didn't show any campaign or the raid lair

sounds pretty meh overall

I'll wait til expansion 3 in the fall.

Boomdeyadah · April 24, 2018, 07:26:33 PM

Will probably be as shallow as whatever that first """"""""expansion"""""""" was

Missed opportunity if they don't bring back Pocket Infinity.

A Cheese Potato · April 25, 2018, 09:12:21 AM

I'm excited to actually try a raid blind, since I wont be getting error codes all the time

That's looking pretty good. Bungie why couldn't you launch D2 in this state???

Yeah, this has actually got me really excited when I was just about ready to give up on the game. I hope they begin to phase out standard PvP in favour of more interesting modes like Gambit.

Elai · June 06, 2018, 11:32:17 AM

Bow and arrows look dope. D2 handles like a dream on PC, too. Just bought it yesterday. 60FPS is so nice.

Bungie is bringing back the original weapon slot system. Good to hear, but it should have never been taken out in the first place.

Actually they're not going back to Primary, Special, Heavy. You can if you want, but you can also do pretty much whatever they said. 3 Shotguns, 3 Hand Cannons, 3 Sniper Rifles. Pretty much any combination you could think of I suppose.

big dog · June 07, 2018, 05:17:57 AM

Finally got around to trying Spire of Stars. Haven't completed the final boss yet, but so far it's decent. Requires a lot of communication, though. Not quite as good as Eater of Worlds but still pretty fun.

At this point I'm sick to death of fighting Cabal, given that they've played a prominent role in Destiny 2's campaign and both its expansions.

A Cheese Potato · June 07, 2018, 10:05:31 AM

Spire is pretty fun, but it will be refreshing to have a raid not on the leviathan.

Elai · June 07, 2018, 11:10:06 AM

Anybody on PC here?

I am but I'm too busy to play

big dog · June 09, 2018, 06:32:04 AM

This looks really cool. Can't wait to see the raid itself.

Also, looks like we're getting three new raid lairs afterwards.

A Cheese Potato · June 09, 2018, 07:40:59 AM

I'm curious to see how big the Dreaming city is, since the way they describe it makes it sound like it's a 2nd destination alongside the Tangled Shore to explore, on top of being the raid location

Des🅱️acito 2 & knuckles expansion pack when 😤💪😭💯

big dog · June 12, 2018, 05:17:48 AM

they should have killed off zavala and replaced him with shaxx

Elai · June 12, 2018, 08:33:30 AM

why couldn't they have killed zavala instead

although cayde had become the most insuferable due to his popularity

big dog · June 12, 2018, 08:53:29 AM

If it's permanent then at least this universe has some semblance of stakes finally.

I thought the Queen's brother died in TTK?

yeah it is a little ridiculous you need to spend like 200 bucks to play forsaken

we're getting destiny 3 on pc together though (granted forsaken is a step in the right direction and everything sort of follows that path from then on)
