Destiny 2 [PS4/XBONE/PC] (Sept. 6, 2017)

[Cail]

Preorders get it on release, available for everyone on Dec 5 (people are already theorizing this is the date of the first DLC).

That site's update was in fact related to Coldheart. It's a trace rifle created by Omolon. This is a new archetype, currently only occupied by Coldheart. It shoots a beam that does more damage the longer it is fired, but becomes harder to hold steady the longer it is activated.

Looked like a halo sentinel beam

Set things to transfer to a D2 clan -- looks like the change happens on August 23. Anyone who is only part of the group and not a member of the clan will be removed (guessing this means the people who joined the group but didn't designate it as their clan).

We currently have 130 group members and 77 clan members. If you want to be part of the BG clan in D2, I'd recommend checking to make sure you're part of the clan to be safe. If we hit 100 clan members, I'll go through and start looking for people to kick based on last play-time -- might need to eventually create a second BG clan and set up an alliance, although they haven't detailed anything about allegiances yet..

Just like the XIV BG clan.

Also, there's reportedly another preorder bonus:

[Cail]

Are all these pre-order bonuses regardless of where you ore-order? Cuz there's also the other pre order stuff that was already announced

[6souls]

Wait.. the D1 Hunter's wave is a pre-order bonus?

[Serra]

What other preorder stuff has been announced? There's the stuff with the collector's editions, but I don't think there were any in-game items announced yet.

I'm no PC expert, but those recommended specs seem pretty low to me. If I have a 1070 and an i7700 I should be able to run the game at nearly max right?

[Serra]

I believe today is the last update from that site. They did a Q&A -- some questions were a waste, some were somewhat insightful.
Characters are mute, no multi-passenger vehicles, and in addition to the beta being and old build and not being current, since the feedback from the beta they're increasing super regeneration.

[Salodin]

So is this going to be a thing on PC? Or is this just a fad that'll pass in two months...I'm interested in an open beta, but idk about paying the full price to try it out.

[Serra]

Open beta is free -- and you only get one extra day for preordering. Presumably the content is going to be the same, so it'll be pretty limited, but it will give you a good taste of the gameplay. Wit the game coming out on console prior to the PC release, that'll give you a better idea of if the content is worth your time and money investment

Let me preface by saying I don't want to misrepresent -- from what I understand, there is a large PC population interested in D2, but I don't know how much of that is current Destiny players looking to switch, new players looking to come aboard, or current players who will temporarily play.

[Obsidian]

I have a feeling the first week is going to make or break the game on PC. If their PvP networking model doesn't work flawlessly (odds are slim that it will) I think it'll be dead on arrival. PC players like their dedicated servers, for good reason.

[6souls]

For Honor is finally releasing dedicated servers because Ubi finally figured out it's the correct answer to their problems.
