I love that destiny is that kind of game where you can play a fire axe using robot.

 

[HundredEyeMonk]

Lol the only reason people were excited about Ghorn and acted that way was because it was rare as fuck.

Now... lol... Oprah handin them out like cars.

It's part of why the game is so cool.

 

[ItsTheNew]

30 bucks for 30 hours of content sounds good to me

 

[Guardian Monkey]

lol so e3

 

[Orochinagis]

Technically everyone will get one Ghally by doing the quest and the preorder people just get a skin/weapon free?

Its kind of funny that youll still have the people who "earned" (lol) theirs looking down on the ones running around with the free knockoff.

 

[Sesuadra]

Exactly

 

[Movalpolos]

They take an exotic weapon away only to drop it back into the game in DLC as a new reward.

That's a crappy way to deal with loot, but that's Destiny.

I completely agree with this even though I'm coming off this reveal in a positive way due to the price. Passing off a Ghorn update as "new content" is bullshit.

 

[shingi70]

With the Axe being a temp thing, makes me wonder why Scorch scan on and the Croats sword haven't been put in the heavy arsenal.

Yeah it was a really weak useless weapoAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I couldn't fucking finish sorry

 

[LAA]

Up for pre order on PSN (UK) now. At least this time, for once, it isn't $=£, $30 = £25 now. Should techncially be £20, but happy it's closer at least.

 

[Lothars]

Yup that's exactly it.

 

[Compsiox]

Where will I be able to find the stream in its entirety in an hour?

Depends on who you were. Friend of mine got it to roll out of a blue engram week one. However, it took me 1500+ hours and I only got it when Xur sold it.

 

[Lucifon]

£30 is okay, but the £30 they'll charge in the UK is total crap.

 

[Theorry]

Jup. The Iron version.

£30 is okay, but the £30 they'll charge in the UK is total crap.

Its £24.99.

 

[Darryl M R]

So everyone gets a ghorn. People complaining about the pre-order complained about a non-issue. Bungie is listening!

 

[KodaRuss]

Before everybody gets all excited about a new raid, remember Crota's End.

For the glitches or the content? It was a pretty cool raid outside of a couple things. It was an exploit/bug fest for longer than it should have been but the content was pretty damn cool.

The lantern section was awesome, especially doing it solo which was just so fun.

Honestly love its entire premise, Some of the best gunplay on console. at a time yes content lacked, But the whole franchise is a gem imo.

 

[NullPointer]

Missed a few parts of the stream - are these new mutant Fallen different enough to consider them a new(ish) faction ala the Taken?

I'm genuinely surprised they did not talk about how they'll make it work, or how that's compatible with their decision to leave it behind in year 1. They probably didn't want to lead with "the Horn is back. Also, we nerfed it." but if that's the case, they should probably say so.

But if the new philosophy is to just let us be powerful in PvE again, I'm all for it. Especially if that means we can have awesome shotguns back. #makeshotgunsgreatagain

Didn't show them in combat, but they mentioned new behaviors, IIRC. They certainly look different (bio-mechanical).

£25 isn't too bad I guess.

 

[Klyka]

Wait,is the axe not a new kind of heavy weapon?

 

[Theorry]

Would say yes.

 

[NullPointer]

If that's their new guiding light, I'm in.

The thing that broke my heart about TTK was leveling up beyond my best pre-TTK loot only to put on the equivalent of rags and generic bits, only at a higher light level.

I really hope they find a way to keep the loot progression feeling like a progression rather than a reset - I'm not sure I'm willing to toss everything out again, only to replace it with junk with higher numbers.

 

[-griffy-]

Yeah, they've augmented themselves and their weapons, so they will have different behaviors and all that crap.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Missed a few parts of the stream - are these new mutant Fallen different enough to consider them a new(ish) faction ala the Taken?

From what they said. They look different and act different, and have different weapons, so yes?

Depends on where you stand on the whole Ship of Theseus thing.

They reasonably nerfed it already - I sort of feel it was left behind in Y2 to give the game a chance to breathe, honestly.

It also looked like the wolfpack round "cloud" was a light more tightly bunched. So that might make it a lot less "fire in general direction of AI, kill everything"

"Earned" by playing a digital lotto lmao. people are hilarious about it. Now when doing actual quests to earn shit that means earning a weapon like they introduced in Taken King.

Getting Weapons like NTTE, The swords, the Raid Exotic etc. those are earned. lol

 

[Raven117]

Before everybody gets all excited about a new raid, remember Crota's End.

I liked it too. At least it was quick...Kings Fall was so freakin tedious...it zapped the fun out of running it a bunch of times.

 

[Theorry]

"People still play this game?"
230.000 viewers for a little stream.

 

[SheHateMe]

Well, I'm coming back. This'll be fun... for 10 days.

Spoiler

FFXV

I just need to know if it's going to have a physical version or not.

 

[GlamFM]

Aaaaaaaand pre-ordered. This all looked seriously cool.

 

[Klyka]

"People still play this game?"

Well a "little stream" is a bit wrong.

It was the reveal of their new,big content expansion since last year.
It wasn't just a "oh hey community,want to talk" random stream

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I'm sure we will learn more at E3.

I mean short stream then.

 

[deletethis123]

I hope there is one! I love the Destiny limited editions.

 

[Vinc]

So I just now joined the stream and went back a few pages- but does this look like it has the same amount of content as Taken King or more/less?

Whee.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got a very short teaser for Destiny 2 at E3.

 

[Liamc723]

Less content.

 

[Klyka]

We honestly can't really tell because we only have content info like "new raid" "new missions" etc.. which don't tell us how many or how long they are.

I would wager it will have slightly less than TTK.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Probably not - they want to sell this year's model before they talk about the next one. Wouldn't be surprised if they close out the year with some hints about it, though.

 

[TheMilkGuy]

You forge Gjallerhorn.

For the record the lore of the weapon always said it's made out of the armour of fallen Guardians.

Loved the Sword forging Quest so it's cool to see a return to that.

I sense a crucible quest step here guys...

 

[Theorry]

Hit people with your old Horn in the Crucible.

 

[NullPointer]

Wouldn't be surprised if this DLC *is* the teaser for it.
