[rNilla]

Just:

I've been very close to importing one of these. Love that black / hot pink combo.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Speaking of disappointment, don't get too hyped about the snow people. Unless you've enjoyed playing the epic Crota fight that was accurately previewed in the TDB trailer:

That's the water below the crystal room where we shoot ourselves in the foot to save DS checkpoint.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

edit: lol DJ, I knew it looked familiar....

Well, engrams do tend to pop more by killing mobs quickly.

Kill 10 thralls one by one and you may get one green/blue engram.

Kill 10 thralls in quick succession with a super/heavy and they almost always tend to drop more than one engram, and higher quality ones. I've seen this enough times to believe this is not pure RNG.

Yeah there seems to be a connection with how the ammo drops are generated as well. I've seen enough Fist of Havoc/Nova Bomb Abyss multi-kills that chained 5+ heavy ammo drops, without Ruin Wings, to believe there's something to it.

 

[Karl2177]

I'll be a bit surprised when those Titan and Warlock helmets are the final models. They both seem like temp models.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I've said it before, but I'm going to be pretty pissed if that exotic Warlock helm and gloves aren't placeholder. I'm also pretty sure the Purifier Robes is a recolor of this:

Which I bet is the Crucible vendor chest.

 

[IHaveIce]

only 2 new exotic weapons? Wat.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Yes it seems to help but is not guaranteed. RNG gonna RNG.


Top of the page! Here's another look at the exotics to grind for in HoW.

watermelon guantlets!
cant wait to bust some skulls like a sledgehammer.

Spoiler

except the sledgehammer will be my fists

only 2 new exotic weapons? Wat.

TDB also only had 2, but PS users got the 3rd in the 4th horseman

 

[Gordon]

Yep. Looks amazing. Bungie definitely has some damn good artists.

I'll say. I just had a better look at the Hunter. Got. Dayum.

 

[hydruxo]

That's the water below the crystal room where we shoot ourselves in the foot to save DS checkpoint.

No it's not. That area in the trailer is waaaaay bigger than the room you're talking about.

... this is a good point, though. I've observed this, too.

 

[rasengan1337]

Snow plz

i don't see snow happening. if Bungie already feels that last-gen machines are getting overly taxed by the game, managing "extraneous" particle physics like rain/snow/precipitation would definitely send the last-gen machines over the brink to be lost in time....

 

[WheelHoss1]

I did a science experiment in 6th grade. I flipped a coin 100 times to see the results. It came up almost exactly 50/50, but it was never heads-tails-heads-tails. It was always streaks. Heads-heads-heads-tails-heads. Tails-tails-heads-tails-tails. Things like this.

RNG? When it rains it pours? All I know is, I'm either swimming in new exotics, or I'm parched. Ruin Wings either rain purple or rain nothing.

Hope I start swimming in Hawkmoons soon . . .

Planet Destiny: Complete HoW Trailer Breakdown

Spoiler

Don't watch. Waste of time.

 

[Forerunner]

None of those Titan items would make me want to switch from Helm Of St. 14

The gauntlets I can see being pretty useful, depending on the damage. Get meleed do AoE damage, then you melee them back (Discharge) for more AoE! Helm looks cool, but the other Titan helms have it beat. The leggings are just lol though, way too situational to be useful.

 

[Homeboyd]

only 2 new exotic weapons? Wat.

That scout is going to be good though.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Exactly. In fist of crota mission, try to kill cursed thralls one by one and kill them at the same time.

If you kill one by one, 1-2 may drop ammo. Kill them at the same time and they all drop the same ammo type at the same time.

 

[IHaveIce]

That scout is going to be good though.

mhm. Good enough to the existing exotic away?

Is the Pistole in the Cover Art the Hunter is Holding Already in the game?

 

[Robdraggoo]

I'll be a bit surprised when those Titan and Warlock helmets are the final models. They both seem like temp models.

im pretty sure i got like 10 of those warlock helmets ready to be broken down for mats.
that shotgun also reminds me of the glados potato from portal 2 lol

 

[Auto_aim1]

I can't wait for the inevitable cheesing with bubble bros, ground pounders, icebreaker campers, unlimited nova bombs, gjallarhorns and so on.

I hope it's structured really well or it could end in a disaster.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

The water reflections probably would have melted PS3s and 360s.

Blargh, I always forget this Achilles heel. I'm willing to bet/hoping people will realize how much current gen Destiny was held back by last gen once Destiny 2 launches.

Is it just me or has the "cross-gen" transition time lasted reeeaally long this gen?

The attack dealt while invisible will deal bonus damage, losing invis won't mean the the attack won't deal bonus damage.

Hmm yeah good point, but too early to know for sure like you said. Of course the biggest sword damage boost will be the level cap...

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

only 2 new exotic weapons? Wat.

..and one is exclusive to Playstation.

Spoiler

guessing, don't know for sure

 

[rNilla]

The plethora of rereleases, remasters, etc. over new things supports this.

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

I've been very close to importing one of these. Love that black / hot pink combo.

Just saw they have one on Amazon with Prime for $200. I paid about $174 for it in China, so now I don't feel special.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

No it's not. That area in the trailer is waaaaay bigger than the room you're talking about.

It's the water from the Abyss. You can see the eyes of the thralls waiting to pounce on you.

Spoiler

You didn't get the joke

 

[everyday math]

Has there been any talk about a replacement for Marty at all?

 

[rNilla]

Just saw they have one on Amazon with Prime for $200. I paid about $174 for it in China, so now I don't feel special.

That's exactly where I've been eyeing it. Reminds me of this thing which I still have:

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

..and one is exclusive to Playstation.

Spoiler

guessing, don't know for sure

Actually, they never put the PS exclusive stuff in these trailers. That's why they still say one new strike for Dark Below, etc. This time, if the previous information holds up, we're getting an exclusive multiplayer map. If there's an exclusive exotic, I bet it hasn't leaked.

Lol that would be sooo bungie

yeah i dunno im a little confused as to how they would balance this properly

if there is a way to hide from enemies surely people will just play it like a nightfall hiding and popping out shots at enemies?

I bet it's an exotic pulse rifle that shoots seeking bolts like the fallen weapons.

DO IT BUNGIE

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

The back is piiiiiiiiink. But the contrast from the front is so great.

Are you trying to tell me the PS Vita is not a highly prized piece of technology demanding exorbitant import prices? Blasphemy. I can't even find the Vita in American stores, they must be popular!

 

[Robdraggoo]

I can't wait for the inevitable cheesing with bubble bros, ground pounders, icebreaker campers, unlimited nova bombs, gjallarhorns and so on.

if it is in fact a hoard mode I fully expect O.helm badjuju builds to be really op along with titan strikers clearing massive room for a hunter to come in golden gun a big dude.

the more I think about it, the more i like the sounds of it.

 

[FyreWulff]

They already had a full particle / weather system running on the 360 in Reach. They can pull it off if they want to

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

No vita is better than pink vita.

Spoiler

i have black one

 

[ocean]

Trying to stay hyped but the possibility that there won't be a Raid is a low blow

 

[dB Viper]

It's so stupid if true.

Bungie, really?

 

[DrDrizzay101]

yeah i dunno im a little confused as to how they would balance this properly

if there is a way to hide from enemies surely people will just play it like a nightfall hiding and popping out shots at enemies?

They could just have timed phases to kill all enemies or 1+ "target" enemies before an auto-wipe, like the DSinger phase.

 

[vctor182]

Awe we all speculating that there won't be a new raid based on press release or has bungie made an official statement? If the former then, somebody ask them on twitter I can't work like this!!!

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Do we really want to fight waves and waves of stealth vandals and servitors?

Strikers, Voidwalkers and Bladedancers will rule horde mode.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Would it be possible for future expansions to only be for the current generation? Or will they still be constrained by the previous gen due to the base game code?

 

[Darryl M R]

Wait this no raid thing has to be a joke right guys? Can we pressure Deej to clear this up

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Would it be possible for future expansions to only be for the current generation? Or will they still be constrained by the previous gen due to the base game code?

Destiny 1 expansions will be on both gens.

Another topper, here's a leak from HoW back in the day:

Clear mention of RAID. But no mention of any Arena mode.

So, either Arena = Raid or Arena replaces Raid.

Hope we get both Arena and Raid.

It certainly has the potential to be extremely chaotic and that's something that sounds like a lot of fun.

Everyone on Twitter is trying to get this info out of Bungie including Datto. So far Bunige is not talking.

 

[Gordon]

As a 360 player let me just say we would be fine with no particles and just a snowy looking map. It doesn't need to be actively snowing.

Spoiler

Oh, and instead of making a small increase to vault space and blaming it on old gen systems, you could just have some sort of coherent sorting system and display items onscreen by item type, making a limit of 20 onscreen at one time add up to 280 slots just for weapons and armour if you have a submenu for each weapon subtype (eg. Guardian://Weapons/Primary/Hand Cannons/) and each armour slot. And maybe store a copy of the inventory on my system and just do a hashcheck when I open it because at the moment it feels like you have it written down somewhere and have to go pull my file every time I open my menu lol

 

[B_Spooky13]

Wow that preview of the Exotics armor is pretty disappointing.. well at least for the Warlock. All those are just a different color of Armor we already have.. shame

 

[Gala]

Got to 26, anyone up for the 28 version of the weekly heroic strike?

Ruthless, can I get the gorgon chest really quick?

 

[DrDrizzay101]

It's not the hardware limitations, it's the production cost limitations. They aren't making new stuff and it wasn't snowing in Terminus or the Traitor's Ketch last time I visited. The Arena doesn't sound "snowy" but there's always a possibility I guess.

This trailer is the same as the TDB one: pure hype. Not directly related to in-game content.
