Why did they make the treasure Keys such a complete pain in the ass to get in this game? Ugh.

It's a lot easier to get one now though. Guaranteed at least one per week. I've been getting extra from the Queen's packages a lot more frequently as well.

 

[EL CUCO]

So it's been confirmed the taken king will have real cutscenes and not just voice overs, right?

Yup. Skippable cutscenes too!

 

[MrGreencastle]

So it's been confirmed the taken king will have real cutscenes and not just voice overs, right?

Cutscenes... not confirmed. But there is in-game dialogue and banter between your character and other characters, with the character who is speaking showing up in the HUD overlay while you're playing.

 

[MrGreencastle]

Bored so I mashed up a chart showing all the editions available. Hopefully it clears things up for those that are a bit confused by it all.

The last one is one that most of us want and the one they hopefully announce in the future.

Looking at it all together it amazes me that they don't even have the last option for us year 1 owners. The digital collectors edition also doesn't make sense price wise.

This last one made me excited. Sadly it does not exist. That is exactly what players are asking for.

edit: Double Post. Booyah.

--

I didn't even realize the emotes were part of the Collector's edition content and not the VIP stuff. HAHAHAHA. Fuck you Bungie x10

 

[silver.tongue]

Ok, this is my vault, its gourgeous isn't it?

 

[Ophelion]

Math, pls.

Warlocks have sith-like powers now. It's not a contest anymore.

Is it September yet? I want to Force Lightning people into oblivion now.

 

[Namikaze1]

Hunters are the best.

Math, pls.

Warlocks have sith-like powers now. It's not a contest anymore.

Please.

Titans are Thor now. Only we can wield Mjolnir.

 

[th3dude]

You all need to run these raids at like 10pm EDT. I'd be down

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

this sounds cool but I am going to remain skeptical.

Not me. I live my life one enthusiastic reaction at a time.

 

[NullPointer]

Why did they make the treasure Keys such a complete pain in the ass to get in this game? Ugh.

I've gotten them by doing the weekly wolf bounties. Sticking purely to the wolf chests are a waste of time imho and I have yet to get a single one from the smaller arena chests.

The bounties though, those have been pretty consistent. Doing all six has net me at least one treasure key, and sometimes two.

First bounty gets you one guaranteed per week.

What is this? Is this an actual thing?

No. Sadly.

 

[NullPointer]

Now thats good stuff.

 

[MrS]

No. Sadly.

Would love for them to announce a 'Year 2 Season Pass' for Taken King and 2 more DLCs. Would pay £60 for it without question.

 

[Collateral22]

How hard is the 34 this week? I hated doing the cabal guy on 32.

 

[wesleyshark]

Why did they make the treasure Keys such a complete pain in the ass to get in this game? Ugh.

How do you mean? You get one for each character every week with very little effort.

 

[PuMa]

It's not bad with a bit of coordination. The team needs to work together to plan taking his shield down and then DPSing as much as possible right after.

It's easy.

2:51:00 seems like confirmation to me

The more I hear Luke talk on that GB interview, I cant help but expect the Dreadnought to be huge.

Speaking of that. I thought I heard in the new vidoc that the new locations would be Phobos and the Dreadnought, but that interview made it sound like the Dradnought was the only new location.

So suros rocket launcher is legendary, not exotic. You can see it and the pulse he is using when he goes to the character screen.

 

[Zocano]

Anyone wanna do a PoE 32 real quick?

 

[M3Rocket]

Time for a bad analogy!

This is like a dad who spends all his time at work and whenever the kids see him he's got gifts or ice cream. Mom is home all day and makes me do chores and enforces my curfew and says "that's enough Destiny sweetheart, turn it off before you show up in the news like those GTA kids". Dad is the good guy, mom is the witch.

Luke is really cool but nobody tags him when they post "BUNGIE FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME" or "FUCK YOU CROTA IS BULLSHIT" etc. Deej has an extremely annoying and roundabout way of giving us answers we don't like, but these aren't his answers. He's the proverbial messenger people keep virtual-killing.

I mean I'd be happier with a Luke-type personality answering "nope, can't do it" when we ask for more Vault space instead of a 30 line poem about decisions and story and attachment and the meaning of life and sorry but not at this moment in Deejspeak. But I'll still be annoyed that I don't like the answer.

The writing style isn't really the reason people have accumulated a certain disdain for Deej, it's the fact that he's the voice for all of Bungie's decisions. If it were Luke or anyone else running the CM job, no matter how cool the tone, people would be tired of getting shut down or ignored by now.

While it seems like the problem is Deej, I don't think personality would change much. It's a job that's gonna get you on the community's nerves eventually just because you're the face associated with requests and delays and disappointments and unfixed glitches etc.

So even if Deej did a 180 and started actually answering shit (including answers like sorry can't say, plain and simple) it wouldn't make people suddenly love the guy.

Hear, hear!

Sunbreaker titans are literally just throwing rockets... rockets!

Probably will play Sunbreaker all the time unless I have to defender for some pve stuff.

Yeah I've got one from doing all the bounties, but that's just one. I'm trying to do multiple levels of PoE and its stupidly painstaking to get more keys.

 

[MrGreencastle]

Speaking of that. I thought I heard in the new vidoc that the new locations would be Phobos and the Dreadnought, but that interview made it sound like the Dradnought was the only new location.

Watching the ViDoc, it looks like there are a number of new locations that are going to be in the campaign and/or strikes that aren't current areas. One mission was on Phobos, and another in Old Russia. They don't seem to be Patrol areas, based on what they're describing, which is interesting. Dreadnought seems to be the new Patrol area, though. There is going to be at least one Strike and the Raid in the Dreadnought as well.

Hear, hear!

Luke Smith actually was community manager for Bungie before DeeJ, by the way. He was the whaaaaaaambulance guy. It went Frankie, lukems, urk, DeeJ.

Dinklebot not having anything new to say since vanilla has been weird. They gotta figure out a way to write him out and replace the Ghost with a new one or something.

He says one line in Dark Below!!! When starting the Undying Mind strike, he says "I liked it better when it was dead." Obviously a leftover.

Thanks Zacagawea, BurningNad, Jignxs, Grim and Tears for some fun

Fuck yes! Seems so cool, can't wait to try it.

I'm curious though if you fire the shot right after you do L1+R1, or you can take a few moments to actually aim and then fire.....

Definity and I are doing 34 PoE. Join on Mr-Stephen

Yes. Have a nobody with a good voice re-record the old dialog and also have them record new dialog for the new expansions.

Patch it in.
