I mean
Its cosmodrome patrol
I was far more excited about the potential mechnical changes to the patrol area
Instead it looks like they just added visuals and swapped out some enemies
Opened up some areas too i guess
Stream was VERY light on gameplay details

The fallen splicer design is kinda cool, but yeah it's all just plain reskin so far. Hopefully when they decide to show the plaguelands they'll restore some hope in the audience.

I'm not surprised or disappointed. They showed off some of what they said they would, left rest to our imagination. As long as future streams are much more substantial, which I expect they will be.

The worst part is at they spent what seemed like a third of the stream talking about a sparrow instead of actual content.
It's a Bungie stream alright!

Wait is the new xpac going to be compromised of a reskinned cosmodrone+new area? I dont count the social hub when assigning a monetary worth because those are completely useless.
How much does it cost again? $20?

True but since it was changes to the Cosmodrome I was hoping there would be more details on Patrol play
Guess we wait for Gamescom for a real info dump
Im expecting the bulk of the new content to be within the Plaguelands and be similar in size to Taken King and the Dreadnaught
Im not complaining about that I just want to them to go crazy with diversivication of activities and that includes making patrols and treasure hunting/Mob hunting relevant again

Errbody uses Discord now. 😜
That said, RoI does look budget as fuck. I'll check it out for a month or so.

Pretty weak stream, but I did like the new look of the SUROS weapons. The new sparrow looks cool, but everyone is going to be using that thing come release day, so I'll probably stick with my old SRL standby.
Anxious to see the new PvP stuff in August. The new mode better be more fun than Rift.

New Raid and higher light level. Based on the fact that story is focused around Saladin I would hope for some cool pvp content also, but they have been silent on that front.
I usually turn them in earlier, then use that character as my 'main' guy for the current IB. Pick up the weeklies again, use that guy, do the dailies, etc. I can get to Rank 5 pretty quickly with him and put a dent in all the weeklies for next time.
Then I start using my alts. If you pick up the dailies every day and play a couple matches on your alts, they'll hit rank 5 pretty easily on Monday.
It seems like Bungie has always been pretty bad at showing off this game. Even the pre-release stuff at E3 made it look super bland. I remember the reactions were pretty negative until everyone got to play the alpha and beta. They need to get back to their Halo days with the marketing side of things. All the pre-release stuff for Halo 1 and 2 was awesome.

Stream was about what I expected. I am hyped to play new content with the DGAF community.

Sparrow, snow, red lasers, new routes around the Cosmodrome.
Next stream is about PvP, apparently.

Oh, was actually gonna watch the stream. Glad I didn't miss anything worthwhile.
You're in good hands. Crota normal =cake

Maybe there's a actual reason why Bungie employees never posts on here anymore. 👀

Good stuff. That trophy seemed so daunting the first time I saw it, but them leaving old raids at their initial light levels makes it seem possible. I've spent so much time playing this game, I might as well get the plat.
We should say nothing but positive things so they will grace us with their presence.

I'm not saying that? But saying people should be fired and just being negative as fuck would lead them to not even show up on here.
Totally agree.

I expected them to milk such small reveals out of ROI every week from now till launch but we're not even getting that...
Heard this stream was a real winner.
We all know some Bungie employees do occasionally read the thread. Whether they respond or not is up to them. I just hope the general dissatisfaction is not written off as 'overzealous naysaying' instead of a genuine sign that something isn't working. I quit playing not because my favorite character was nerfed, but because balance decisions are being made with very sketchy reasoning. I get a good laugh when watching PvP streams and players complain about the problem with primary nerfs leading to special domination even more than the obvious lack of custom games. New gamestypes and a feature that should have been in since Alpha won't fix that.
I've dabbled with Paragon and that game is still going through sweeping fundamental changes with lots of OP classes and abilities. However, at every turn Epic lays out its roadmap and includes solid reasoning to proposed balance updates. The contrast is overwhelming.

The Cosmodrome tour was "fine", I suppose, for showing the environment. But it was a complete failure that it was our first encounter with the Splicers and they didn't talk about them at all.
Overall, it was boring.
But let's talk about the Iron Gjallarwing. Which holy shit, is this ever sad.
How low can Bungie stoop to make the most circle-jerky part of reddit into a preorder bonus? What happens next month if preorders are still down?
Pre-order now to get the Iron Gjallarsuit!
Did anyone else notice the mugs from the stream? :eyes:

i miss you.
Well, at least there's a healthy pvp community... Right?FTFY
This coming about a week before FFXV. Maybe that was intentional
. I've been waiting for that game for a long ass time.Edit: I'll take 7 of those Gjallarsuits!

Alot of games have good roadmaps
Blizzard for example laid out its plans for WoW, and with Overwatch they actually gave ample info for Ana.
Ive come to terms that having no roadmap for its playerbase is just Bungies way. Maybe one day the design of future content will be stable enough to map out their plans for future updates before you pay for expansions hoping they wont just repeat events

You serious?
It's not like anyone is calling it pure shit, it was just uneventful. No one should feel forced to behave as if things were all Crimson and clovers so bungie would grace us with their presence.
I'm sorry for contributing to the negativity. I like to be constructive, but I guess Deej just grates on me for some reason. At least he didn't use Vision of Confluence for arc burn

If Bungie wants to interact with an echo chamber, they can go to Reddit. I havent really formed an opinion of RoI(and no, a black Gjally wont sway me), but Im hoping that there is PvE content that feels substantial. A proper Horde mode in the world, and not in a little chamber with curated waves, pl0x
