I'll post some thoughts later on tonight about what was shown today, but it's almost entirely good stuff. As far as new media, this shot did more to excite me than any other:
Combat and platforming at the top of the Citadel, with enemy Fallen ships coming in. Hell. Yes.
HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THIS

looks like a Terminus story mission on Venus
why are you so hung up on levels? it seems totally arbitrary to me?
if it were 2 levels or 10 whats the difference
You have to upgrade Abyss Defiant, the premier weapon for wizard-haters across the galaxy.
Looks like Terminus on Venus. You can glitch in their now from the Citadel.

i don't agree. they didn't unveil or leak today's content news prior to today, and they frankly hit it out of the freekin park. i'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, after what they unveiled today.
edit: i do agree with you regarding the group play. i wouldn't have stuck with this game for so long if it weren't for the people with whom i play.

I swear I've been reading these kind of posts since launch.
seriously.
by this time if you don't know what you're in for don't fucking bother.
anyone who's still playing the game has probably put in more than 100 hours (I'm being generous here) and can gladly say that the $60 pricetag + $35 DLC is completely worth it.
Destiny isn't really a game for casuals. You're either in it or you're not. If you hold up a piece of paper with a DLC code on it to someone who's put in over 300 hours and say that it costs $35 you really think they are gonna blink twice?

Just saw this on Kotaku's comment section:
If this is true about the raids also dropping these consumables, this is great news too.
Has anyone commented on the "Year 1" portion of that image? I mean, we know Destiny is meant to be a multi-year franchise, and if Comet comes out in September that could be the beginning of "Year 2." I just thought the verbage was interesting.
Have to wait the better half to finish working out...which may be soon though
Anyone else in for some raiding?

For upgrades. XP unlocked nodes stay as-is it seems, did we hear about attributes? Does it re-roll Intellect or Discipline etc or do they stay the same.

No news on a glimmer cap upgrade, right? I'll just keep banking all these Axiomatic Beads in the meantime.
Yeah, it was asked about, but it got a "we're aware of the feedback" answer.

We could two-man NM Crota if you are up for a little challenge...

I like that trials of Osiris is a weekend thing
kind of something else to look forward to besides reset day (and xur)

No but if you've been stockpiling radiant and ascendant shards then you have a boat load of glimmer in the vault right now. New HoW speaker will give you 250 glimmer per shard.
I didn't notice that, good catch. I also suspect that Comet is the start of Year 2; I've been hoping it was a September release all along. If so the gap between it and HoW could be shorter than from TDB to HoW.

I agree. I personally think Vault of Glass is more fun to play than Crota but there's no reason to play it other than to get exotics. If I can play it and still progress my character that will be awesome.

Anyone mind doing some charity and giving me the Gorgon CP? Don't care if hard ot normal; I just missed it on reset day
New temporary item like the crota sword?
That's what a lot of us have been thinking.

Thanks for replying.

i guess its from my jrpg/rpg days... I like leveling from killing enemies/monsters.. and not through gear.. 10 would be better because you wouldn't have people get max level in 2 hours after the dlc release.. :/

Very nice. Looks like a helmet from a fallen captain minus the glow eyes

Well technically you are leveling through killing monsters since you can't level up gear without killing shit and getting materials and whatnot. And while I get what you're saying, I don't think 2 levels or 10 levels would make much of a difference. I imagine it would be like getting from level 20 to 28, which was simple and quick. 29 and 30 were a grind. Getting to 31 was simple, while many still have not reached 32. So if the level was increased to 42 I figure that 33-40 could be attained fairly fast and 41-42 would be the rough patch.
You're talking about two different things. Even if the level cap were increased by 10, it'd be through gear. I think it was rumored that Comet would raise the actual base level to 30 from 20, so there'll be more leveling via killing stuff in the future.

CannedHeat add to list. I just added myself. Lemme know when you start on here~!~
Yes, 365 attack with, I'm guessing, another exotic shard after the initial full upgrade.

I'm down
I haven't played Destiny over a month at this point other than to shop at Xur, but I'm wondering if they ever stealth patched the vex mythoclast? Is the starting ammo back to normal? And much more importantly, is the firing cone/spread back to normal at this point? I love that weapon and if I come back for HoW it would be nice for it to be awesome again 
.
(I keep reading conflicting reports as to whether or not it's fixed online).

Did HM Gorgons/Gatekeeper already today, but tower pugs will be tower pugs. Would be great to finish the entire raid plus kill Templar. First time at VoG HM btw, I know the encounters though.

Its very much still viable for anything from PvE to PvP, but the ammo will always run out rather fast compared to other weapons with similar fire rate.
The cone/spread can be addressed with what perks you pick, but its not a scout rifle, its still very much in line with an auto rifle.
I may be misinterpreting your concerns, but for the most part, its still an awesome weapon from my tests.

the vex seemed much better after the last patch
the pulse rifle patch broke it but it's viable in pvp again

ALRIGHT LETS GET THIS SHOW STARTED
Had a fucking brilliant run of VOG today.
Fatebringer
Praedyth's Revenge
Fusion Rifle (can't remember name)
Pulse Rifle (can't remember name)
Fatebringer was the number one thing I wanted most. With the news today that all the old weapons' caps will be raised to the new max in HoW, I was so happy getting all of this. All of these are my first of each too. Barely touched VoG in the past tbf (most of my time was spent on Crota) but now I have even more incentive to.
