I hate that BTW. Infusion might just be the worst thing in this game (for me)
I'm hoping, friend. The gameplay has always been stellar with the rest of the game some level of cobbled together mess. Once again, D2 sounds like what I thought D1 would be. I hope they deliver this time. D1 is still my biggest disappointment in gaming overall.

As a guy that played exclusively on the ps4, I hope that this time around, Bungie/Activision stay away from any sort of deal.
I personally don't think that two wrongs makes a right.

That's what I thought inititally, but I think that rumor spread when people were talking about Destiny as a 10-year game akin to WoW. If Sony convinced Activision to give them marketing for the franchise indefinitely, that's a huge get on Sony's part.
Yes, I am still not a fan of it. Old weapons should cap at the light of highest level before an expansion.
Bungie have had three opportunities to make a great Destiny 1. I don't know what makes people think that Destiny v.4 will be any better.

I'm guessing Destiny 2 starts with The Darkness attacking the tower, the traveler runs away, and our guardian ends up on some unknown planet far away.

I wouldn't expect to see the Tower in good shape in D2
Eris? Cabal?

There is concept art of this out there but they were supposedly scrapped ideas. I'm going to see if i can find it.

Uh from what I remember that wasn't a concept board those were stills posted on his site, and on his behance.

Played a bit of the first one on Xbox and didn't like it. Might check it out if it reviews well on PC though. Although I thought I was done with MMO's!

The pictures somewhat fit with what Shinobi has said...
Guardians rising from the ashes...

can hardly make out what's happening,
Is that Captain America?
For a second there at first glance not focusing on the pictures, I thought I had stumbled into the Rez Infinite thread about Area X.

I'm totally with you unless that means I can't play with all the great people I have met playing Destiny on PS4. I am sure Sony knows this, but I would have a hard time leaving the console if I couldn't have access to the 20 or so folks I play with in my Clan.
I hope there is a solution for this.
Enh, once 1 was out, their hands were kind of tied. They could only do so much with the engine and framework they had, especially lugging around last gen consoles. I'll be first in line to criticize Bungie for D1's mistakes, but I'm not sure they've had 3 full chances. Even something like ROI, which is a big step back, isn't necessarily indicative of where Bungie is now because it was made with the least effort possible so people could focus on 2.
what was the promise again? genuinely asking cuz I'm like the only person on the planet that avoided destiny hype talk

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
But what if, like Diablo 2, the sequel has an all new set of classes? What if the vision for the sequel involves such a major shake-up to the game universe that we would be playing whole new breeds of Guardians? Is that possibility just totally off of the table for folks who feel strongly about wanting to continue with the same character?
I just can't be in favor of something that places a strict limit on the possibilities for the next game. It's a sequel, not an expansion. Everything should be on the table.

Are we expecting a september release date or later? Is D2 still 2017?
I wouldn't mind new classes being introduced as a result of some event ingame

That would throw a lot of the lore out of the window. Titans, Hunters and Warlocks are embedded into the lore/Destiny universe. New subclasses make sense... A complete set of new classes? not so much

I love destiny and I say burn the tower down. You wake up at night and escape with just your pajamas. The vault, postmaster, and gear gone. Even the gally you keep under your bed.

I've heard rumblings ( which means nothing ) that D2 will be shown this year...
September is probably the earliest it's coming out.
what would be nice is if you're playing a certain race and you're getting a mission or something from said race that that's acknowledged somehow (or just small differences in the way people treat/talk to you to differentiate playing different races story wise)
it was kind of weird playing as an Awoken and then when you start doing the Queen missions and stuff it's never acknowledged that you are one of their people...

Gonna have to disagree with this pretty strongly. It seems incredibly easy to me for Bungie to be able to write some event happening that impacts either the traveler itself or how guardians connect to it/the light that would result in new powers manifesting in the form of new classes. The base-level lore around the Traveler and the light is still bare/open enough that they could take it in just about any direction without actually contradicting anything that already exists.
I guess I'm not big into character customization because I'm not really going to miss my characters from Destiny 1 if they start from scratch. I'm really excited about all of the things I'm hearing about this, it sounds like Bungie have learned from their mistakes with the original release and making a more substantial, more interesting game.
Keep the originals gameplay and add interesting story, less loading times, more frequent updates, and more variety and you'll have one amazing FPS

I do find it weird how hyped everyone is about this game though, considering how much shit the first game gets.
I don't think Guardians sleep, although, the thought of my Female titan in her jammies has me rather confused.
The Tower is clearly a military installation (with no canteen) with guns at the ready, it would have to be a devastating attack. Watching Rahool bite it would be grand, I've only known Tyra Karn a few hours and she's infinitely more likeable.
Earth Awoken are shunned by the Reef Awoken, if I remember right. The Queen doesn't acknowledge you as one of her people.
No one knows the lore outside of a few people who took the time to read it online. It would be absurd for Bungie to tie their hands over something so trivial. Even in that case, they could easily just keep the names and dramatically differentiate and evolve the classes into new, more interesting classes.

If we see it this year, it has to be at PSX, right? Makes too much sense given their partnership.
Its in the lore that the Queen is rather uppity about Earth-Awoken,
but the entire scene with my Awoken character was like
They'll show Sparrow Racing League Season 2. I don't think we should expect Destiny 2.

Yup, if it's releasing next year then it should be shown at PSX E3 2017 would be what 2 months away from release? That's too close imo.
Destiny is amazing. It's still relevant two years later.
I love destiny. It's my favorite game and i would pre-order destiny 2 right now if i could.

Im sure they will try to hit September since thats the Destiny month this gen, but they might have a hard time finishing the game for that date.

I don't think we should expect it, but if it is shown before the end of the year, it makes sense for that to be the place. Plus E3 seems like too close to release to reveal it if it is as major an overhaul as it seems. You want a whole lot of lead time to send the message of "this is not Destiny 1 and it is not just an expansion".
Not really. They can reveal prior to E3 with a trailer or a livestream and then do a big blowout at E3 and Gamescom. Thats what Call Of Duty been doing.
Not sure they will be able to hit september anyway, Im sure they will try

yeah... that's not changing classes but making new sub-classes.

I cannot comprehend this. I know programming isn't child's play but they have a small army working on this game.. with multiple studios chipping in..
There's also the Video Game Awards (if that's happening again).

I'm fine with starting fresh in Destiny 2 and not importing my D1 characters if Bungie continues to support Destiny 1 for years to come.

Call of Duty is established. It sells every year. You basically know what you are getting within reason when expecting a CoD game. With Destiny 2, the whole idea seems to be a complete revamp. I would think you would want as much lead time as possible to bang into the heads of the public that this is not Destiny 1 and there are many, many changes being made.

They almost have as many people as the bahaman army (1.5k)
