That sweet taste of freedom
I congratulated him on a game well played & then blocked/reported him. I usually try to avoid online trolls & their silly anecdotes.
Thank for the wishes gentleman. No congratulatory messages yet, but I do find myself on the other end sometimes, thinking "well played, sir" when a skilled player baits me into their trap. Not that I'm hard to outperform or anything, but I've definitely started to notice which players know what they're doing by the way they move around/control the map.
Centered Titan mark? Cool Cool Cool
The boots look like how a Batman Halloween costume would look. like a plastic thing meant to look like boots over your tennis shoes.
I hope for Destiny 2 they partition patrol stuff and story stuff a lot more.
I think a huge problem is that because they weave so much (nearly all) of the story missions into the patrol zones, nothing feels cool or intense. Everything comes off as... flat. So little feels dynamic and grand, nothing feels like a Halo mission.
I mean a big issue with the game has always been that they try to stretch a chunk of content as thin and in as many ways as possible. I've been patient with it because I can at least understand why they have to make such choices with Destiny 1. I will be much more lenient when it comes to the second entry.

Raid Entrance?. My guess is the Raid has you enter there, starts at the top of the wall. Death Zamboni chases you along the way. You leap off the wall and then you enter raid stage 2.
These dudes.
New Monacy Ghost
SIVA Ghost (Raid reward?) Likely since it's a new model Could imply that all the Raid gear will be SIVA looking which makes sense.
Just some thoughts. The Warlock set is likely the Iron Banner reward, The hunter set is the Trails of Osiris Reward and the Titan Set is just a new set not tied to anything particular.

I've been pretty impressed with all the mutant models so far, they look sick. I know it's just the fallen, but they did a lot better with these than they did with the taken. Hats off to the guys that created those mutants, they did a great job.

I'm a wow junkie when I have game tkme, but all of my budget for the month went to the expansion and 14 months of plus. In end I am playing the latest Kirby on 3ds while retrying, or stuff on the backlog.

Not sure if it's the raid gear, but the symbol on all that gear is the same as the emblem of the Fallen House:

Thats the symbol of the warmind. The warmind might be called SIVA or the warmind might have created SIVA. Either way it's a warmind symbol and the armor is themed after that. It's part of the main story not the Raid. Siva is the hindu name for Shiva and it's a place in russia
Rasputin symbol for reference.
Im pretty sure you just nicknamed the new Titan mark(s).
"My new Titan wang looks SICK!"
"Check out my wang guys."
"Which wang looks better?"
"I REALLY want that Titan wang!"
all of my hate

"Finally got a black wang. Look how low it hangs!"

Ya'll are crazy the Titan armor has a sweet Tron aesthetic going on
Imagine it in blue

Omg breezy said something positive, and he's right, that new Titan armor is slick as hell. I thought TTK was a humongous step back in he gear department sans a few exceptions. What we've seen so far is such a breath of fresh air.

totally makes sense that different Warminds would have different symbols. Great catch.
Not sure what "story" armor is though, since we've never had that, per se. Year 2 for example was Vanguard A & B, Crucible A&B, Iron Banner, Trials, Raid A & B, Playstation Exclusive A & B.
Think it'll be Vanguard? The story is Iron Lord theme, so I wonder what Iron Banner will reward.
We in uncharted waters.
Also, why do we have that debauched armor when we could have Feedback Fence back:
That's good Warmind armor.

Holy Shit shit this DLC looks freaking awesome in terms of design. I'm so happy we're moving beyond the hive.

The titan armor is called SIVA according to the artist who made it.
Definitely sounds like it's Raid gear then.
Odd that they'd reveal endgame gear like that, but then again they did show IB and ToO as well.

I'm still doubting it's Raid gear tbh. Really not sure what it could be if it's not. It's clearly too good looking to be the new basic gear. It has to be something special to go alongside what we assume is ToO and IB gear. Hmm

I'm interested. Been a while since I've done the raid, and I'm craving some more Destiny lately. psn: rcmDez

I'm in the same boat as Dez as far as haven't done a raid in quite a while but wouldn't mind a run tonight. Dthomp-
I'm up for it, haven't done KF is forever.
No problem. Consider this the "Welcome Back" raid.
I can help with the sword strike but only in the evening.
Hey Dthomp! I can help you out with those quests if you need to. Looking to do them now, or at a later time?

I'm on team Titan armor looks bad. All I see is a boxy man with a necktie for a dong.

I'm pretty open, just running around doing patrol bounties right now. Whenever is convenient or we get a 3rd

Seems like this raid will have a lot of verticality so that will be sweet.

okay, played the alpha and beta and was super disappointed in both but this game doesn't have 41 OTs for no reason and Taken King LEgendary Edition is on sale
thinking of buying it, here's what I didn't like about both the alpha and beta
-ults in mp were insta kills
-not much variation between classes
-not much build variation and level up skills, not even close to something like Borderlands let alone a deeper RPG
-soulless defend the dinklebot missions
-barebones campaign/story
-raids with no matchmaking (I don't have many PS4 friends)
-poor weapon variety
-no space stuff
-lifeless world
I loved the gunplay and armor design though.
any of these changed or altered or whatnot? I love Halo and Borderlands both so I figured this would be a match made in heaven but...

I'm down if there is still room. I have done all parts except Oryx hm.

Hmmm, well none of the things you didn't enjoy have changed. Gunplay is still top notch but otherwise I'm not sure you'd enjoy it much more then before

Shame, how do people have so many goddamn hours in to this then? Is it a grind or what?

It's a grind but the Raids and events are fun with friends. Play with Gaf people. You don't want Matchmaking for Raids. Strikes yeah, Poe should have Matchmaking, but Raids....no.

It is fun to play.
In terms of your criticisms:
The missions and writing got a lot better with the expansions, TTK especially.
There are a ton of different weapons, and most broad types are viable for PvE and PvP. Particular weapons and rolls are better than others, of course.
All nine subclasses feel distinct to me.
