Some pics

 

[TsuWave]

FWC armor looked trash

 

[Jest Chillin]

DeeJ: "That's my favorite Warlock in the set!"

Audience Member: "Really!?"

lol

 

[Smokey_Run]

That Dead Orbit Titan helm

That New Monarchy everything

FWC stays losing

It's OK, FWC will still have the best weapons.

 

[renzolama]

Boy, that response to FWC was comedy gold

 

[Obliterator]

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

Yeah it was terrible.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I think the people laughing at FWC aren't seeing the potential in using a black shader and getting a bad ass duster on your Warlock.

 

[Matticers]

Laughing at the FWC colors, I guess? That's not the usual bright blue/yellow you expect to see.

 

[Primus]

That FWC armor set is making me think about switching to New Monarchy.

 

[LunaticLMD]

Not gonna lie, those New Monarchy Hunter and Warlock sets looked great.

 

[MrDaravon]

As a FWC diehard those faction armor ornaments (or whatever) are actually kind of insulting.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Laughing at the FWC colors, I guess? That's not the usual bright blue/yellow you expect to see.

Nah. They were laughing because compared to DO and NM the FWC designs were extremely plain looking.

 

[Sawneeks]

Keep your weapons

Fashion > Weapons

 

[Alucrid]

can i get clarion calls on bottles of mountain dew?

 

[TsuWave]

hunter - dead orbit
titan - new monarchy
warlock - fwc

that's how i'm gonna go

 

[serenewarfare]

Double XP is kind of worthless when all you're getting is Bright Engrams.

 

[The Driver]

Why y’all freaking out about the faction armor sets, this shit is more reskins, just slightly better paint jobs this time around smh.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Nah. They were laughing because compared to DO and NM the FWC designs were extremely plain looking.

Yeah the contrast was jarring.

Edit: 80% of players are in a clan. I'm in the 20%.

 

[goonie]

Am I confused, or do those armor sets look the same as the first faction rally?

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Does anybody really care about double XP at this point? XP throughout the entire game pretty pointless given your class build is going to end up fluid, you level so fast you don't feel like you're really earning anything and your gear seems to be much more important in regards to your power.

 

[Obliterator]

Yeah the contrast was jarring.

Yeah I feel like they need to add a bit of flair to those designs. They are just really "ordinary" looking compared to the other 2

 

[Sawneeks]

Despite all the doom and gloom around end game, I am actually really happy they gave Clans some focus in this compared to D1.

Wish we knew what Clan Rewards were and such, but I'm happy it exists.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Dead Orbit slaying it

I care, I want more dust for The Dawning event and I don't want to play a lot.

 

[TsuWave]

i think they are generally the same. different shaders

like i said, bungie loves reskins

 

[Dark Orchid]

Yeah the contrast was jarring.

I feel like that number is being inflated because of the rewards. I know the only reason I joined a larger one was so I could get the extra drops for the week.

 

[serenewarfare]

So every season brings new Bright Engram unlocks.

 

[Kadin]

Spicy Raymond

 

[Tovarisc]

Emotes change between Seasons in bright engrams, grind them out now!

 

[Magwik]

Nice being forced to pay real money for certain emotes

 

[squidyj]

mic drop is bm on par with salty

 

[forrest]

Have they mentioned any highly replayable pve activities being introduced? So those who have finished the raid/campaign, but aren't fond of pvp have something to do? Would love to see some sort of Horde/Salmon Run mode.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

The thing is they don't do anything interesting with clans beyond upping the rewards hardcore players probably already have. Compare it to titles like Chrome Hounds or Guild Wars which were doing way more interesting things with clans/faction 10 years ago.

If they introduced a new mode when clans competed over territory or battled in huge tournaments I'd be interested. Getting more loot when the loot system is pretty boring isn't much of an incentive for me.

There's a new PVE mode coming in the first expansion in December, but they're not talking about it yet.

 

[Epcott]

Such garbage... reskins and XP.

What good is XP after lvl 20 aside from a visit to Awaken Rhianna who tempts you with microtrans 😄

And how does a gun reskin benefit in PVE and PVP besides looking cool?

Wtf happened to this franchise?
Talk about emotes but no talk about fixing RNG mods lol. Pass

Game is bassically a fashion show now.

 

[Sawneeks]

Please be excited for those modes in Future DLC.

Spoiler

i'm joking but it's likely something that won't appear until DLC

Refreshed faction rallies is all they've touched on so far.

Super disappointing.

 

[JHall]

End game is emotes now

 

[forrest]

Cool! Thanks

 

[Pop]

This is horrible.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Maybe they should have added ship combat like they did in Reach if they wanted us to be excited over new ships?

 

[Primus]

Ok, that Dawning-specific ship is pretty sick.

Nah, I'm not saying it's perfect but I'm just happy it's there. Compared to the nothing that was in D1, having a little something in D2 was great.

There's a lot of potential they have Clans that they just aren't tapping into which is a real shame. Clans fighting over something like you mentioned, Clan Spaces ( Farm plz ), and ways to make Clans and being involved with them more would be fantastic.

If this ends up being anything like D1 then we'll have some of those by the end of D2's life span but not launching with that sucks.

 

[Bold One]

Deej doing stand up

 

[GodParticle]

Ships...um, yay =/

 

[GhaleonEB]

"That ship has sailed."

*mass seppuku ensues*

 

[xir]

i don't care about custom loading screens

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

Maybe they should have added ship combat like they did in Reach if they wanted us to be excited over new ships?

The combat in Reach made me think Destiny would have ship combat. I remember an interview with the guy who did the programming for the ship flying in Reach and it seemed like a lot of work for just one level. For sure thought it was a test for Destiny...

Ship combat would be awesome.

 

[JohnTinker]

Some of these ships look neat
