That Gunslinger pose and armor looks fantastic. It might be time to go back to my first sub-class. Any photos of the Nightstalker skill tree?

Where is the warlock info? That's what matters here

You're a good person. We are now friends. Thank you
Looked like there was a non-elemental katana in one of the video clips (I think a hunter uses it). Swords are too cool to get rid of, imo.

I thought a sword was a pre-order bonus, so nah.
They had a few clips with swords, kinda hard to see but this hunter is using one, doesn't look like it's a super:

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
There are a ton of meaningful gameplay changes that keep coming about.

It'll be voidwalker. I'm basing this off ikora of course
I don't know if that's for sure. Defender is gone, even though Zavala uses it.
All I know is self-res is not coming back and it's been replaced by Valkyrie.
I won't pretend I know anything regarding online netcode and such, but damn do I really hope they improve the online on that front. Maybe it's just rose tinted glasses, but I honestly felt like Halo games online were more reliable. It has been years since I last played them, so what do I know?
Heck yeah! Just have to think up a good name for the clan...
Actually looks like this leaker was right. Which means one new super, which mean this is as bad as 30fps.
Golden Gun, Voidwalker, Striker, Nightstalker, Stormcaller, and Sunbreaker will all return, though they will all see massive changes. Bladedancer is being replaced by a class that uses an arc bow staff. Sunsinger is being replaced by a class that uses a solar sword. Defender is being replaced by void Captain America. PS Trials of Osiris is gone. It's called Trials of the Nine
This is what he fully posted before the reveal.
Hello everyone. There are a few things to talk about. So little time remains before the reveal! I look forward to the future. Destiny 2 will launch on Battle.net - not Steam and not Origin. Max level will be 20 just like D1 vanilla. Tomorrow they will reveal a new pvp game mode. It is like an evolution of Elimination, but Elimination is not gone (don't worry!). At the moment, crucible - all of it - is 4v4. Let's talk about the weapons. Slot A is like Primary. It will work mostly the same as it does now. There will be no elemental weapons in this slot. Kinetic damage Auto, Pulse, Hand Cannon, and Scout. However, side arms will get moved into this slot and SMGs will be added. Slot B is identical to slot A, but the weapons are elemental. That means that you get two primaries in crucible and ammo is abundant for both. Slot C will be Rocket Launchers (with even less ammo, but larger explosions), Swords, fusions, snipers, shotguns, and.... a secret new weapon I don't want to spoil (but was totally in the trailer)! HMGs are gone. "Heavy ammo" will have relatively short timers and many locations, but only drops for the person that picks it up. Of course, we've seen that Bungie can change this kind of thing with relative ease, so who knows how it will be at launch or a year from now. Abilities are a really big deal. You can expect to see each class have a new ability that exists for the whole class no matter what subclass. Each class gets 1 ability with 3 options. Hunters get Shadestep, Warlocks get something similar to the bubble, but it doesn't offer a physical barrier, just the perk, and Titan's get a "brace" which is kind of like cover they can create. Golden Gun, Voidwalker, Striker, Nightstalker, Stormcaller, and Sunbreaker will all return, though they will all see massive changes. Bladedancer is being replaced by a class that uses an arc bow staff. Sunsinger is being replaced by a class that uses a solar sword. Defender is being replaced by void Captain America. PS Trials of Osiris is gone. It's called Trials of the Nine
Raids are going to be pretty different with no self res or bubbles.

Finally saw the stream, LTTP
Looks good, campaign looks way cool just from that first mission. I'm betting crucible will still be shit. Clans/Guides/Seekers seems like a step in the right direction. Raid will be hype I'm sure. Graphics are purdy. 30FPS *sadface*. and uh... yeah. I guess that's that
Need to know Hawkmoon 2.0 exists though.

Any word on how aim assist is in the build?

RIP self res and bubble. Though at least Titan has a void super that can attack now. I'd take the dawn blade super over the fireballs anyday.
When can we expect the extended gameplay footage?
Based on this image, it seems like the shield can create at least a limited, directional protective field.

Dang, those Navigator/Map upgrades are some of the best things they showed. Seeing when and where public events will spawn is amazing.

The reworked striker super looks cool as hell
Hell yeah. Both Striker and Sentinel look far more useful then the D1 versions.

I'm loving what im seeing and hearing about PVP (mostly).
I think having Supers 'counterable' with matching elemental weapons, coupled with having a dedicated elemental primary slot is a pretty cool way to balance the game.
Only issues is that it still doesn't look like Bungie wants competitive for PVP, even though they're making PVP more focused. I feel like they should go all the way, instead of half-bake it. Ninja tweeted that D2 currently doesn't have a ranking system, and the other issue is 30fps.
Otherwise, looks super fun.

As much as I wont miss self-res (and damn sure Bungie wont), I think I will miss the bubble. Odd how Zavala still has his, though...
We only see him use it before the Cabal attack the traveler, we don't know if he still has it after that point.
Literal game changer.
Yeah, I agree!

Yeah I hope it gets better. I have a feeling not all p2p games are the same. I dont remember other p2p games from last gen for example being as bad as Destiny.
Perhaps that means it's possible they can make it better by adjusting the netcode!
Yeah true that. Really hope they tone down or completely remove skill based MM with it's awful lag, wait times, and truly abysmal sweat fests.
Y1... I remember you... You had the right idea.

At least we won't have to worry about one shot melee though
Or OHK stickies.
