So the only gear worth grinding is the Iron lords gear and the ToO gear...... everything else look like crap.
-
That pvp map reminds me of some of the halo reach pvp maps anybody else?
-
Thanks for the waterfall of information. I'm super hyped now. Sounds like it's gonna be good
-
So Bungie is finally doing what people wanted since beginning of Year 1. Had they done it sooner they would have more people buying.
-
This is exactly what I needed.
-
Thanks for this post!!!
-

Edited by NastyNati0527: 8/3/2016 5:06:40 PMWish they would of added new enemies on top of the new SIVA dregs, vandals, shanks and captains, like a SIVA Grunt or SIVA Assault Grunt or something newer than just same old enemies with a newer look. Still pretty pumped up though.
-
Nice thread! Very detailed and informative. I am sad to see the dreaded return of Thorn. Wonder if they'll be buffing it hence the introduction of that artifact that lessens DOT? I know that'd make a lot of those year 1 players happy that used it. Personally, I wish they would have brought back Icebreaker instead but I guess we can't have everything. Everything else looks pretty cool though! Can't wait to see what they're releasing for PVP. August 16th huh? Would just make my year if it was private matches.
-
Last Exit map sounds fun. Can't wait! ...Seriously give it to me NOW.
-
Finally, more cut content from vanilla will be released
-
Thank you for a post that is actually informative! Keep it up 😃
-
i thought rise of iron was gonna be called "ascent of metal" [spoiler]my status explains everything[/spoiler]
-
Oh my God!! Secret area!!! ^_^ My wish was answered!! This is a gift for me because I love secrets in Destiny!! Thank you, Bungie! Thank you so much! :)))

Edited by Barrierr-: 8/3/2016 3:12:27 PMIf only my friends still played :(

Edited by Peacecraft: 8/3/2016 2:29:00 PMMemory of Felwinter was absolutely designed for Sunsingers, Tlaloc and Alchemist Rainment. Lose Fireborn. Permanent Overflow, double grenade, double flame shield, stat boost, and orbs of light gain made and melee energy, along with your alchemist Rainment perk? Fuarrrk yissss.

Exotic Kovosthov looks op as shit

[quote] - "One more major change coming to Crucible when Rise of Iron launches", but no details yet. (NEWS ON THIS EXPECTED AUGUST 16TH) [spoiler]"Long-awaited feature our community has been clamoring for"[/spoiler] [/quote] Im not gonna hold my breathe cause i wasnt even expecting it until D2 but... PLEASE BE CUSTOM GAMES!!!

Edited by VisualAMP: 8/3/2016 3:12:50 PMThere are a few things I would like to see. I will make a list. Bring back Randal the Vandal, give him Siva tech, and make him hardcore, and angry. Being back elemental primaries Bring back reforging Make a new meta of weapons, something that is alien to what we know as a primary weapon, special weapon, or heavy. Stop nerfing the game.... With the loss of shot package on my felwinters lie, I feel that a nerf is used instead of creativity to bring the other weapons to par or better. A removal of a perk should be blasphemy. I want my Dinkle bot back! Bring option to make different ghost voices. [b][u]Odd notes from pictures.[/u][/b] The trials gear looks hot. The Siva tech armor looks very blocky. Looks like a step backward from the conception art. I guess we will find out once obtained
-
Everything sounds very appealing. Thus might be a shot in the arm the game needs right now.
-
Damn it Toaster! Now I have to ask off from work...
-
Very nice!!! ...and VoG and Crota? What about them?
-
I presume the year 2 PS specific content will be released onto XBOX too?
-
This is a very well made thread, have a star.
