Was it?
I took the live team as the one who handled things like SRL, The Valentines event, the Halloween event...y'know...the stuff Microtransactions should've been paying for.

I really wonder when they plan on revealing this. I totally get why they wouldn't do it before RoI came out but now that that has released I wonder what time they are thinking.
I'm guessing maybe February / March of 2017?

Making a new AAA IP is hard. It's a miracle Destiny 1 was as good as it was.

Hopefully it's a complete overhaul. Combat and AI for the basic game play loop could use a lot of work. Actual encounter design needs to exist this time as well.

Good news so far. I played Destiny but burnt out about 5 months ago.
If they would solve the RNG aspect a bit (I got so sick of spending hours not getting a "required" weapon for a raid while others got it instantly) I would be far more interested.
They need to find a way to balance the loot game while also making accessible without it gating people out who don't get lucky.

The fuck? The combat/gameplay loop is the best in console FPS currently. It's the only thing that made Destiny a success.

Hopefully.
It's
If it's like WoW in terms of content, with the gunplay of Destiny, and the loot of Diablo
Then they'll have a very good system.

I have to agree with this.
Destiny is a console game by design, it's Bungie after all.
I really don't think it would feel good to play it on m/k, and I'm not sure about frame rate.
They have a winning formula, anything different would feel... Well, different.
It think it would feel quite "ordinary" on mouse.
But it's nice that pc gamers can play it, of course...

I play most of my PC games with a controller. I just want the smoother framerate. I would sacrifice graphical quality for 60fps.
Edit: if it 30fps locked on PC then I will get the console version because for me there will really be no reason to get the PC version.

I disagree. AI and encounter design are massive steps back from their work on Halo. Player movement needs to be redone ideally to gel with the gunplay and other combat. It has nice headshot animations and generous auto aim I'll admit.

Patrick Stewart rumored to be providing voice for new Bungie title, Destiny: The Next Generation.
Not me. Quite the opposite. This news is making me want to buy a Xim4 and use a KB+M to marathon my way through destiny and all the expansions. I've got them all minus the new one and pretty much have only made it to the moon. Just couldn't deal with the game pad.
I was more interested in doing the missions and occasional hops into the Crucible stuff. I never did any raids because of the time commitment and not being part of a team, but I always liked the sound of them for those that wanted them. I like the sound of the sequel's direction, with the narrative restructuring and the playspaces and all that!
Why is it sad if you can't bring forward your old characters? If they allowed you to, then the game would be tied to its original design (same classes etc). I'd much rather see them not be so constrained.
People just want their avatars, not necessarily the specs and abilities/

lol. Rise of Iron is fantastic, and at a number of times felt like the end of this "first chapter". I feel that it concluded everything so far quite well.

As for character transfers, Best case Scenario is that your Guardian's look, Shaders, Emblems, Ghost Skins, and probably your ship/vehicle carry over, whereas everything else gets stripped from you via the old Bag of Spilling trope on the way to saturn. Maybe you crash your ship or whatever? Easy way to explain it, imo.

I really hope the game is structured more like an open-world rpg and less like a hub-based diablo style game.
I want to be able to find quests/npc's out in the worlds and be able to simply "explore" and find things rather then space station terminal>go to world>go back to station, rinse repeat.
I also hopeo that npc's, hell that the ENTIRE storyline is completely revamped. Let us you know TALK to npc's, have actual choices to make with what our characters say, have a storyline that's actually part of the game and not something you have to bloody go digging around the internet to figure out what in the heck is happening.
Destiny had great "gameplay" but it was terrible when it came to it's rpg elements/narrative.
They should look at games like Mass Effect/Witcher 3.

you're saying it like Bungie wouldn't add controller support considering most modern games, particularly shooters, already do?
In fact I'd welcome being able to play this with my 360 gamepad.

Every time I think about Destiny I wish it was on PC
I think Destiny is just okay but I would play a lot more of it if it was on PC

That feeling when people still don't realize it's relatively easy to use your PC like a console with a controller. At the very least pretty much everything has controller support.
What's the word on crossplay? I'd love to see it for Xbox/PC at least.

Considering Sony paid a lot of money for DLC first for D1, I'd assume the same will be for D2. I doubt Sony would like it if Xbox had exclusive features.

I take it there won't be cross-play between platforms, right?
As a PC gamer who use a gamepad most of the time, I'll be fucked, right?

Well Playstation/PC crossplay would be even better for me but that would never happen.

Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the news tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is it a PC exclusive? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Destiny 2 on consoles. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought Luke Smith had it under control???? This is so fucked.
