They really should make a Crucible without the supers, there is going to be 'Mayhem', let there also be 'Gun Brawl'.
Can't find it, but I am sure he wasn't on the crota team. He has an account here so hopefully he could clarify.

soooo good!
Even better - Neutral Assault. Spawns in the middle, everyone fights over it. Constant toggle between attack and defense. It might even get me playing Crucible! The lack of objectives is a big part of why I haven't gone there yet.
Looks like a pretty big leap over the base game, and a continuation of the improvements we saw with House of Wolves. I particular, I liked some of the environmental hazards, such as the electricity running along the tracks. I also like that they are introducing the new subclasses as part of the story line - each character will have to go and earn it, rather than just open a slot on the menu.
A bit of metroidvania injected into the ship, perhaps? That would really make patrols more interesting.

Hopefully they'll raise the base level instead of just upping the light cap
They mentioned more progress for your characters, making them more powerful...I thought that was an allusion to an increase to the base level. Guessing it goes up to 30.
Here, have a Suros pulse rifle too guys
excuse the crappy youtube screen grabs
Forgiven.

omg
If you pause at one of the death screens, it said the player was killed by a player level 49. So is the new light level maybe 50?
Definitely looks good, but then again I was never among Destiny's biggest critics. Personally I just got burned badly by The Dark Below and the insane decision to add more upgrade materials that you can't get anywhere except in the Raid. Haven't played for a few months now but may jump back in when this comes out since by then I assume the need to grind out raids for 2 Radiant Shards per week won't be there.

Few thoughts:
- Phobos, the Hive Ship, and the new environments all look amazing.
- Not big on the Taken's visual design. I like the new animations and love they have new attacks and stuff, but visually they're going to be hard to tell apart from each other which is going to be a huge deal now that they can be any species.
- It's weird Oryx can use the Vex as Taken. I guess they are kind of organic though and they haven't explained completely the rules of being "Taken".
- Love getting the third subclass will be part of the story. With cinematics even!
- New supers look fun as hell!
- Mayhem sounds like a clusterfuck. The last thing PvP needs is a mode where supers are MORE prevalent.
- Rift sounds awesome. CTF finally!
- Hope some of those environmental hazards/puzzles aren't just in the raid.
- Suros Rocket launcher!
That seems to be the case. Speculation over in the community thread is, another 10 levels for the base character (in part based on an old leak) with new abilities, then light levels take you up to 50.
You can do that now. House of Wolves upended progression entirely.
We know the Vex, or at least *some* of the Vex, worship Darkness. We also know they are the teensiest bit organic (their fluid chambers).
What if they've willingly allowed themselves to be taken?
Excellent. Will probably check that expansion out before The Taken King comes out then.
Their brain/minds are organic, not mechanical, as well. Organic mind, mechanical body, per the story missions.
I totally get where you are coming from, but if they allow everyone to fill every slot with an exotic they have to rebalance all content accordingly.
If all of your slots are exotic, none of them are (ie: they don't feel special, and aren't a meaningful choice). I think a fair compromise would be opening up a special weekend playlist/area/whatever (pve and/or pvp) where you can, but not letting you do it in progression content.

Wow, that looks amazing. Great video gives a good hype and the style they are going like with the hunter looks very good for raids and other teamwork game modes.

I still dont like the reused enemies with a twist, still I am quite happy to see the cabal getting a new strike but wanted to see a full raid or expansion for them
Mars feels so lonely.
Not excuse to still sending us to vanilla areas for strikes and some missions, I was expecting two planes outside the raid for that price.

Two new areas are Phobos, Mars's moon, and Oryx's Dreadnaught. No clue how big Phobos is, but its one more area than I expected.

Something, something....
Props for that GAF shoutout.
sorry I said I wouldn't pre order it, that looks nice and I'm sure it'll get nicer as time goes on

Also, they found a way to make the Warlock float not look silly. Floating around frying everything with electricity looked awesome.
You laughed at Bungie for putting shank burn on rocket launchers but who's laughing now?

Are there new strikes in existing locations?
And any idea how expansive Phobos is? Am trying to get a handle on what new areas there are that aren't exclusive to the raid.
I don't think they've gone into detail on the new locations yet as far as size goes, other than saying what they are. Hopefully we'll find out this week.

Destiny has flaws but I don;t get the crazy hate it gets especially here, the game is still really fun with fantastic mechanics.
In the GT live stream interview, Urk or Luke specifically mentioned strikes set in new geometry. My hope is the HoW strike will likely set a precedent for future strikes, starting out in familiar space and immediately building out into new territory.
I understand that it would be mammoth undertaking to rebalance everything.
Ummm, with them not being as special if you were to have all exotics, i'm sure they still could give people that feeling, make them more rare, or something other stuff.
I'm not too familiar with MMOs, but maybe you could do something like what they do with their top tier items.

Sigh me the hell up. Can't wait to wield a flaming hammer with my Titan!
Also, damn, I might have to buy the stupid $90 digital LE for those exclusive class items and shaders.

Don't you get them if you own expansions 1 & 2 also. ?
