Wait, is ROI considered year 3?.. Are we going to have to delete everything we worked for in year 2, again?!
-
Ok, seriously, when is xbox gonna be able to pre-order???
-
So, in short.... Everything you've seen and done in this game plus a raid .
-
So with legacy consoles being left behind, does that mean we might be seeing 60 fps in the near future? Just curious if anyone has heard of any rumors on the subject.
-
The warlock iron lord armor is everything I ever wanted out of this game.
-
Are the Taken still around in this? It'd be kinda odd if they were just...gone.
-
Silimar's artifact needs something added to it. Only reducing DoT places you at a severe disadvantage in comparison to what the other artifacts offer.
-
I'm gonna cry when bungie tells us the long awaited crucible update is full CBMM and isn't custom games
-
That hunter Trials gear though, looks siiick. Probably the best looking gear I've seen in the game thus far for any class, period.
-
Long awaited???? Aww they're finally getting rid of salvage since most scrubs brains are too underdeveloped to comprehend the mechanics? Yay?
-
I doubt the long awaited Crucible feature will be Custom Games but I certainly hope it is. It will probably just be the datamined mode, Armament.
-
I just hope the raid isn't another Super Mario POS like the current one.
-
TBH I fell like this dlc is going to be very short, and most likely it's going to be the last one until destiny 2

Edited by Brains: 8/4/2016 5:11:22 PMDon't get me wrong, I'm excited for RoI, and will enjoy playing it i'm sure. I am a bit concerned though that beyond a bit of SIVA-fication and weather effects, we will still be mostly playing through existing environments. So far I have seen a number of the missions / quests just using existing pve or PvP spaces. Yes there are new places too, I just hope they've done enough to make everything feel fresh. I don't mind using existing assets, but it needs to feel relevant, not lazy. And yes, I have the iPad edition of the article so have read and watched all the content released so far. And what I've seen looks great, i just hope they have kept some juicy stuff back ... Also, if be amazed (pleasantly!) if the community's requested PvP addition is dedicated servers. It is conceivably private matches, which would be nice (but don't expect them to count towards grimoire), but would fit with possibly aiming to get D2 into a competitive arena. My bet, however, is map voting. I can't see it being as 'big' as even private matches (which could only work for 3v3 Max).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bungie just ruined destiny!!!!! [spoiler]warlocks are getting exotic boots! :([/spoiler]

Thanks for all the info!
-
Bump for later

You win the forums.
-
When a post has more comments than Cozmo's post.
-
But the burning question is will we get more vault space?
-
Op. Don't know if you have seen it , but when they show off the splicer walker they are on the skyshock crucible map.
-
The titan raid armor may look like it was made out of legos but holy moly that hunter raid armor is sexy af. If anyone has a flexible schedule and is willing to help me out in completing the raid when it releases that would be amazing.
-
Even if you were to say a new raid is only worth $10 (I happen to think it's worth $20), Rise of Iron is still great value considering your other $20 is getting you: A new social space New Patrol node New Arena At the very least 5 new gear sets New story missions Two new weapons foundries (w/their gear) Exotic weapon skins Armor skins Vendor restock 50 Light increase New exotics Returning Y1 exotics Returning Y1 class items New Crucible maps New Crucible mode And anything I'm forgetting. That's way more than what we got for $20 with TDB or HoW.

Seems like this content will get dry faster than ttk. Don't overhype this.
