It's not just that. This game is fully real-time combat. There isn't any kind of the usual FFXIV or WoW like combat here.

Uh

You do know WoW combat is real time combat? It aint turn based rofl.

According to Press Sneak Fuck, EDZ was cut stuff from the first game.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

No new enemy races?

No new enemy races and no new player classes would be fucking bananas.

 

[BLCKATK]

In-game Sherpa system? Bungie really has a desire to make this stuff not super simple.

At Least LFG is in the game. This has been a long time coming.

 

[molnizzle]

In-game sherpa matchmaking.

That's fucking dope.

 

[Portugeezer]

Guided games AKA people can join you.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Will need to see this new feature in motion to judge it. It sounds good.

(But Nightfall should just have normal matchmaking. No reason not to.)

 

[josecitoxnyo]

Thank fuck no matchmaking for raids. Hopefully people will finally stop asking for that.

 

[SMOK3Y]

Yup

Cool ill be going TITAN straight up again then 😊

 

[yanipheonu]

Okay the QoL updates are pretty substantial. So much better than Destiny 1

 

[SDCowboy]

LFG in game! nice

Is that what this is?

 

[commish]

Guided Games, great solution. I approve.

But I wonder if non-clanned folks can join the clan fights of another clan?

 

[Wanderer5]

So pretty much the LFG/matchmaking?

 

[EloquentM]

Anti LFG crybabies can finally rejoice.

No one was anti lfg though.

 

[cr0w]

Damn this new matchmaking system sounds fucking incredible.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Well I'll be a Guided Player for GAF, I'll show you how to farm Destination Materials and Glimmer

GAF's #1 Resource Accumulator

 

[Izuna]

Wait, PS4 and PC cross-play?

I saw those laptops

 

[BlanketFort]

Guided Games sounds promising.

She didn't really explain how GG battles toxicity (which was one of her leading points as to why in D1 they didn't do public matchmaking for end game content).

I am intrigued.

 

[Art Vandilay]

So the domino effect of people bailing and then raid groups falling apart as a result seems to have been resolved.

 

[TatteredHat]

So...it's just the premade finder from wow. or LFG tool from EverQuest. gee. amazing. 2001 technology making its way to 2017 finally!

In-game clans and premade match finder, truly bungie is breaking boundaries.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Are they legit acting like party finder is some crazy innovative shit?

 

[psyfi]

All the new social features are really amazing. And I really appreciate them speaking frankly about creating positive communities.

 

[t hicks]

loving everything im hearing about this game. Im excited

 

[ShiftaDeband]

Wait, PS4 and PC cross-play?

I saw those laptops

I'm in if that's the case.

 

[Bunta]

It's not just that. This game is fully real-time combat. There isn't any kind of the usual FFXIV or WoW like combat here.

But WoW is real-time..

 

[jviggy43]

You could say the exact same about every sequel.

Cop on guys.

Did ye really expect a sequel to be different? The gameplay in the first was perfect so no need to change it.

Last time Bungie unveiled gameplay of a first sequel (Halo 1 to 2), the differences were incredible. This is literally, heres more of what was in destiny 1. Thats fine if thats what you wanted, but obviously people expected more.

And oh my god, theyre doing a segment on clans. Welcome to 2017 Bungle.

 

[Waxy]

Is the guided games thing like a party finder thingy? I wasn't able to focus much during that

 

[Complicated]

This whole stream is just people clapping at them announcing all the things that were bafflingly missing or poorly designed in Destiny.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

This stream is scaring me off, literally the same BS they spewed about Destiny 1.
And stuff that should have been there.

 

[NinjaMouse]

In-game sherpa matchmaking.

That's fucking dope.

This seems like the perfect implementation of in-game LFG, while keeping the integrity of the raids intact. I love it.

 

[Vire]

Can someone explain the guided games thing? At work with no sound.

 

[Raven117]

Thats really not a bad solution.

 

[Hasney]

Guided Games sounds promising.

She didn't really explain how GG battles toxicity (which was one of her leading points as to why in D1 they didn't do public matchmaking for end game content).

I am intrigued.

Think she was saying that clans with a good rep will be allowed to do it while other clans can't?

 

[matrixman92]

absolutely baffled at the exclusion of normal fucking matchmaking. Now I can only get paired up with dedicated tryhards. They talk about how toxic people can get, but are unaware that clans can be some of the worst lol. Gotta be fucking kidding me

 

[Joeku]

If they make good on their plans, it should be the game that Destiny 1 should have been. Kinda don't trust Bungies ability to do this but we will see.

Kind of with you here, but after how much shit they took, I expect them to actually do it.

 

[j0hnnix]

I didn't see the stream yet but was LFG confirmed or not?

 

[Lgndryhr]

Looks like fun, but I will wait on a collection like Take King. I admit buying Destiny on day 1, buying all the DLC and season pass was a mistake. I will wait a year before I jump in. I enjoyed my time with Destiny 1 during first 6-9 months, but after that I was burnt out and many of my friends moved on from Destiny.

 

[serenewarfare]

A lot of these new QoL systems and exploration features seem like they couldn't have possibly been built on top of existing D1.

 

[Pandora012]

I hope they don't go nerf crazy like the did with D1.

 

[zelas]

Clan matchmaking is some sort of revelation?

This is pretty different than traditional matchmaking.

 

[The Hamburglar]

At this point they are refusing to include matching making because they don't any to admit they got it wrong.

 

[JambiBum]

The fact that there is only one raid is pretty laughable. Hopefully that changes by launch.

 

[akileese]

It's not just that. This game is fully real-time combat. There isn't any kind of the usual FFXIV or WoW like combat here.

Hate to break it to you but WoW and FFXIV are real time combat and not turn based. I think I know what you mean in saying you can't directly dodge or parry in WoW without abilities.

 

[Orochinagis]

No new classes, a mage with a melee lol

Excalibur from Warframe was robbed

 

[Exploratory]

Thank god for no classic matchmaking. Keep that shit out of Destiny please. There are plenty of better alternatives.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

That actually sounds pretty good.

 

[RecRoulette]

As someone who got burnt out by Destiny after TTK, there's not really a lot here that makes me want to come back aside from the story.

Seems like a lot of great improvements, but not enough to win me back yet.

 

[MaKTaiL]

4 planets only, check

One of the locations on Earth is exactly the same as one that was supposed to come out on Destiny 1, check

New guardian supers are completely copies from old ones, check

Graphics look basically the same, check

New planets look a lot like Venus, from Vex to the Guarden, lots of reused textures from Destiny 1, check

DLCs planned with content that was cut out from the original game, check

It's like I'm back on 2014 again.

 

[Smokey_Run]

I think a take on LFG is a good compromise.

 

[impliedsignificance]

Will there be a PC beta or playtest?

 

[Backfoggen]

How are they showing aliased footage like this? Show some 4K PC footage.
