Fucking community... 6v6 quickplay is going to be garbage. Unless they're making the maps larger, it's going to be a shit show.

[Kaslo]

New Annual Pass, with 3 DLCs after Forsaken?

Watched the video, was appeased.

Random weapon rolls = about fucking time.

I'm legitimately worried about PvP going forward.. If the crucible becomes a disaster, it will completely be due to Bungie bending to the whims of its community and ignoring their job as professional game designers..................

I hope all of that talk of Bows actually means that Machine Guns are being re-added.

Pulling information from ResetEra - https://www.resetera.com/threads/des...5pm-gmt.46929/

Destiny 2: Forsaken will be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, and on PC exclusively via Battle.net. Forsaken will be available individually for $39.99, as part of a Destiny 2 + Expansion Pass bundle for $69.99, and as part of a Destiny 2 – Digital Deluxe Edition featuring premium digital content for $79.99. Forsaken players on PlayStation will receive four timed exclusive items: a Strike, one gear set per class, a new jumpship, and an Exotic weapon. When Forsaken launches, all previous Destiny 2 exclusives will be released for all platforms.

Forsaken Content is FFXIV x WoW

Forsaken is Destiny 2.0 with it's own story, new maps/features plus end game content.
Expansion is new activities and further new end game content (patches like FFXIV's 4.X content).

This really feels like Bungie taking a lot of what has worked from WoW and throwing it into Destiny 2. I can only see this as being a net positive thing in the long run. WoW and Blizzard have in many ways set the standard for MMO-ish content, and it seems Destiny is trying to move heavily in that direction.

• Gambit is extremely similar to the new island expeditions from WoW
• Achievements/titles system from WoW
• Collections/set tracker from WoW
• Annual Pass (renamed/retooled subscription) from WoW

The only thing that is curious to me is the timing of Gambit considering that Island Expeditions is a brand new game-mode coming to WoW coming in August with the next expansion, and then Gambit is coming out a month later for Destiny 2 with the next expansion. The timing of these events is so close together, I can't help but wonder if there was some form of collaboration between the teams at Blizzard and Bungie on this new gamemode given that both are Activision/Battle.net

Re - Gambit:

One involves collecting 6,000 items without fighting a final boss, the other involves collecting 75 items and then fighting a final boss. Both are dependent on collecting x items to win the game over the opposing team, and both offer some hybrid form of PvP/PvE.

5 Renown Lost Sector clear grants 25 tokens.

EDIT: Reports of higher drops (this is just want I saw on Tea's stream)

4 Renown Lost Sector is 8 tokens.

Also: you need FULL faction gear (all 5 items) to get extra renown gain.

Also correcting, 5 Renown is 10 tokens, not 25 (it was 10 +15 for a milestone)

Heroic Strikes - 7 tokens

Which faction do I want? lv 25 Warlock Dead Orbit has some cool stuff but so does Future. I don't know what I'm doing just starting up warmind.

Choice really depends on what Masterwork Catalyst you want.

Dead Orbit - Graviton Lance
FWC - Sunshot
New Monarchy - Sweet Business
