Bungie can also "reimagine" the last $30 I gave them, as payment for this new DLC.
-
It would be nice if there was a way to save threads like these without having to reply to them.
-
Thanks Toaster for the information..
-
Anybody else think that Titan helm looks just like the one from elder scrolls !?!?
-
I can't wait for the "Memory of Jolder + Shoulder Charge OP plz nerf" posts!
-
The memory of Similar says at the end that thorn is coming back. How real is this shit?
-
A bump and a thanks for the info. RoI drops on my birthday. Already took that day off of work. I WILL be ready to raid that Friday. :D
-
Toasters have the sexiest voices. <3
-
Bump for later
-
Since when is RoI year 3?
-
I'm so excited! I just hope somebody helps me get the Thorn and Khvostov quests done if their Fireteam related ( in Year 2, I've only gotten my Sleeper Stimulant quest done so far). Also, I love the fact that their bringing back The Devil's Lair and Abomination Heist, but where is The Nexus, it's now the only strike that hasn't been brought up to Year 3 values? Maybe Bungie will deploy a new Nexus in the future?
-
If that's all for crucible, I won't bother upgrading from the 360... well not for destiny anyway. I really expected custom games.
-
Bumped for after court
-
Not sure why people are so hyped about Thorn. Look what they did to sunsingers burn damage because of the moaning. Really think thorn will be the same....
-
Damn nice info. Can't wait for the exotic quests! Here we go month long time gated super fun quests! Get 5 headshots Wait for next week Get 5 bodyshots Wait for next week Get 2000 almost impossible to find farming materials ( given it takes you less than a week or else this step will take more than 1 week) Wait another week! Yay! For old time sake wait another week! Yay Spend 5 dollars with ever verse Wait another week, Done!

There's no hype train here I only see a butt hurt train
-
:Heavy breathing: O_O
-
And here i am, disapointed AF, because Y1 weapons and gear wont be able to reach max light... might get my vault clean now... sob.
-
did i saw a red engrams???????
-
i can't just pick one thing that i love about Rise of Iron! i Love all the features! New light lvl! New Strikes! New Gear! Exotic Kvostov! Spicers seem like a new challenge! A new Arena! Strike specific loot easier to get! Iron Banner bounties give you gear right away after completion! Easier to get to iron banner rank 5! I wonder what the long awaited feature is going to be. Before i typed this comment i saw another comment from someone else guessing its going to be private matches, i forgot about that, i guess it is a feature that many players want, i hope it is private matches!

[quote]Every Class Item ever seen is returning to circulation EXCEPT previous Raid Class Items and will change with shaders[/quote] Why not the raid class items? Why is bungie so adamant to not bring back anything raid related? Almost every other armor set that has been in the game since year 1 has had some form or another within faction vendors, but we can't get variations of some of the best looking gear in the game? Not even made strike specific or anything? I'm glad they're adding things like ornaments and letting us use [i]most[/i] of the class items in the game... But they really need to just bite the bullet already and add in vanity slots/transmog. I hate seeing great looking armor go to waste, especially where the last couple of raid sets are kind of meh... I hate that my favorite looking gear has to just collect dust in my vault forever.

Anyone else thinking custom games?
-
