I hope I can beat the Raid using snowballs.

"Full 2-man Raid blindfolded backwards with a Rock Band drumkit Snowballs Only"

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

I'm really trying to not be overly critical of this but did they really lead the new content talk with Hockey and snowball fights?

You're not. Snowball fights barely warrant a line in the patch notes. Big deal.

Some pics of the stream

 

[xir]

so what's the dawning? missed it from when the stream went down

 

[Zakalwe]

Direct purchase guns is a good change.

 

[serenewarfare]

They are making loot changes. You can buy gear directly next season on Iron Banner with tokens and shards.

 

[Sawneeks]

Direct purchasing weapons will be nice.

Direct purchasing armor too, yeah? Please?

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Nobody wants the guns! We want the armor lol!

EDIT: Ok sounds like you can get it.

EDIT2: Or not? They keep saying ornaments.

 

[KingV]

Im not watching this stream just reading the thread... and I really couldn’t care less about any of these exciting events.

They all sound dull as hell.

 

[serenewarfare]

So glad they are making changes to the token system.

 

[MrDaravon]

Don't care if you can't direct purchase the armor honestly.

 

[Sawneeks]

so what's the dawning? missed it from when the stream went down

It's a Seasonal Event that is returning from Destiny 1. So far they said they're adding Ice Hockey to the Tower, snowing, and snowball fights.

They also usually release Armor/Shaders/Emotes tied to it, though it's Eververse stuff.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Can we stop with the -10 light level drops. I mean... Come on

 

[Obliterator]

Ok this is some good solid feedback here in regards to Iron Banner

 

[Magwik]

But can they make the PvP fun to play

 

[benzopil]

Hockey and snowballs, exactly what we needed. Bungie doesn't know what to do with this game at all.

 

[Sawneeks]

I like the new ornament system to be honest, the achievement system sounds neat.

 

[Niceguydan8]

I think these IB loot changes are good, but didn't they have a system somewhat similar to this in the original Destiny? Being able to buy specific items per event with tokens?

I get that it's not 1:1 the same system, but it really makes me wonder why they completely abandoned it in the first place rather than just iterating.

 

[Zakalwe]

But can they make the PvP fun to play

It already is fun to play!

Just needs a proper pvp suite with a good amount of options.

 

[serenewarfare]

So they are making some ornaments and perks a progression reward. Nice change. And Seasonal gear you can't get later.

 

[BTM]

Alright this stuff is sounding a bit better now

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Is it disappointing?

 

[Obliterator]

Yeah this is the kind of stuff I've been wanting to hear. Its not huge things but it sounds like some nice improvements and reasons to keep playing

 

[Jest Chillin]

One more Iron Banner with the current system. Changed gear acquisition at Season 2.

Gear tweaks confirmed by completing certain goals. I'm a bit unclear on that.

New IB weapons look pretty good.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I was too busy with other stuff to play this Iron Banner, but the season 2 Iron Banner sounds a lot better. Dedicated loot streams/objectives are better than random package drops every time.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Using legendary shards to buy IB weapons is the change they need. Now what about armor?

 

[TsuWave]

bungie loves reskins

 

[serenewarfare]

Is it disappointing?

Eh, it shows they are willing to make changes to core systems, so it's encouraging to me.

 

[Smokey_Run]

I like how they only keep saying guns are able to be direct purchased for season 2.

Not the thing I had a problem acquiring in season 1.

 

[Jest Chillin]

bungie loves reskins

Those weapons weren't reskins as far as I can tell.

 

[Sawneeks]

Kinda wish they had said how many times IB would be in a Season before this last one. I know a lot of people that grinded it out for that 'Season 1' reward without knowing how long that would last. Being this open a while back would have been nice.

 

[serenewarfare]

I like how they only keep saying guns are able to be direct purchased for season 2.

They mentioned armor too.

 

[TsuWave]

Those weapons weren't reskins as far as I can tell.

handcannon was clearly a reskin. i'm pretty sure i saw something else too

 

[Smokey_Run]

They mentioned armor too.

Not that I heard. The only time I heard them mention armor was with ornaments, not direct purchase.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Kinda wish they had said how many times IB would be in a Season before this last one. I know a lot of people that grinded it out for that 'Season 1' reward without knowing how long that would last. Being this open a while back would have been nice.

They did. They said 1 more Iron Banner with the current system so that PC can be introduced to the event.

 

[serenewarfare]

Not that I heard. The only time I heard them mention armor was with ornaments, not direct purchase.

They did.

 

[Primus]

Hell yeah, Faction Rally coming back post-PC launch.

 

[Sawneeks]

They did. They said 1 more Iron Banner with the current system so that PC can be introduced to the event.

I meant before this last IB event, not this live stream. I don't remember ever hearing when Season 1 would end prior to this.

 

[GhaleonEB]

"Future War Cult!"

*delayed murmur*

 

[Bold One]

more like Future War Clowns

 

[Crimson_Gold]

"Future War Cult!"

*delayed murmur*

Don't disrespect the primary colors

 

[Jest Chillin]

I meant before this last IB event, not this live stream. I don't remember ever hearing when Season 1 would end prior to this.

Ah. They didn't specifically say when Season 1 would end but they did say The Dawning would happen shortly after Season 2 launches. The Dawning is Destiny's Mid-Dec to Early Jan event. So it encompasses the Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/etc... through New Years time period.

Basically Season 2 should kick off sometime in December.

 

[Kadey]

6 on 6. Higher Ttk. And bring back secondaries. And movement on par with d1.

 

[Obliterator]

Whoa those Dead Orbit armor's look awesome

EDIT HOT DAMN AT THAT NEW MONARCHY

 

[GhaleonEB]

Don't disrespect the primary colors

FWC is the only faction I've ever been a part of. But it's lonely sometimes.

Edit: everyone burst out laughing at the FWC armor. That Hunter.

 

[Primus]

Those Dead Orbit concepts were so edgy I'm bleeding.

EDIT: "Here's what we've got for FWC!" (laughter)

 

[Niceguydan8]

Christ that FWC gear is really ugly. That makes me sad as a FWC guy.

 

[Sawneeks]

That Dead Orbit Titan helm

That New Monarchy everything

FWC stays losing

 

[Kadin]

Everyone laughs....

yikes

 

[Kill3r7]

Yep. Although what they did with IB last week was a fucken travesty.
