(Again: HoW = House of Wolves) Looks like @moreconsole is leading the charge: 1) Release date may be 05/19. If this is indeed the case: bros who are still catching up can take all the time you need, while people who have drained a lot of time in Destiny can start looking for other games to play. Because, let's face it, we are going to exhaust the content by March at the latest. (When HoW finally hits, we will have zillions of everything: glimmers, materials, coins, motes, whatever) 2) The DLC will bring a new storyline, new raid, three new Crucible maps, new strike, and tons of new gear; 3) New light level: 39

1) Zillions of everything... when you need gazillions. The RNGesus will accept nothing less.
2) I would also expect a few (2/3/4) new strikes (TDB gave us 2.. HoW should give us that much if not more) For PSN users though... XBox will have to wait until sept
3) A new light level of 39? That seems awful high. I'll give you 35... but unless everything gets bumped up a lot (VG max is 36, raid is 40, exotics 44?) 39 seems pretty high without literally, a ton of gear.

It's already February. If they don't mention HoW in this week's weekly update, I don't think that it will happen in early March. Otherwise the hype train should have started by now. I am not too concerned though because I have some games that I would like to play (so Destiny on hiatus could even be welcome), in priority order: 1) Halo MCC, especially after 343 can finally patch the matchmaking, party integration, hit registration for H2A, ranking, and playlists; 2) Borderlands The Handsome Collection (03/24 release); 3) CoD AW; 4) Evolve (02/09 release), if it is good, has a solid fan base, and I have friends to play with;

I really want to hit GTAV since I've barely played it on my PS4. I probably should play more CoD AW before the population starts to drop. It's hard though. Every time I play it I can't help thinking I'd rather be playing Titanfall...

A break would be nice.
I have been getting more into CoDAW lately and last weekend's Clan War turned out to be a very positive experience. We had a huge turnout and for the most part, solid connections. We have the clan stuff rolling in a big way right now (10 straight CW wins dating back to July of last year) and lots of new people coming in, and are blowing up Twitter (and the clan community) as a side bonus. All in all, even with AW's brutal learning curve, I'm trying to keep it in perspective. I'm trying to view it as a positive. A game that is hard to play, doesn't have to be viewed as a negative.

Nobody on the PS4 side care about "The Order 1886"?

I do. I thought it looked kinda interesting, but then saw video of players blowing enemies to pieces and decided I'm in. Sadly, I'm a little broke. Prolly gonna wait for it to get cheaper. I still have GTAV and Last of Us that I really want to play and CoD AW that I kinda don't... heh

I will continue to pray to the RNGesus with more sacrifices, so that when the HoW drops, the yellow bonbons and mats and coins and motes will fall like rain.
That, and I will probably make another character or two, so I can run more raids with more characters to be like you cool kidz

I just hope that I will get to run another raid before too long and maybe actually get some loot this time. ;3 Although I do feel an irrational sense of pride that I managed to run VoG and be so shat on by RNGesus that I got no items at all. lol Part of me feels like I really need to go back there because Destiny owes me a ballerhorn for that. heh Of course, that's not how probability works. ;p

God dammit DeeJ... how are we supposed to rumor mill if you start doing this.
Unless... you're doing reverse psychology

Who cares about the guns/armor? It's the same stuff as before, not interesting at all. All I care about is the release date...which he didn't touch upon at all.

Again Witty... that what they want you to think.
It's all revers psychology... a ruse wrapped in an trick placed in a snare.

The timing is also right on pace - The Dark Below came out 91 days after the game launch, and 3/10 is 91 days after that.

But just because it walks and talks like a duck, doesn't mean it's not a goose... This is all reminding me of the christmas gift that everyone thought Bungie was going to rain exotics upon everyone. I'm not holding my breath for anything specific now

We should have been tipped off by the Master Rahool Christmas card thing... That guy's a dickburger.

It was the whole: Bungie is giving us a little gift and by little, we mean the biggest and best guns weapons in the world plus triple vault space and no glimmer cap.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar Triple vault space...I can just imagine it now... (Existing vault items would of course be divided up between the three new character vaults by RNGesus)

In today's Bungie weekly update: "HoW will be released sometime in Q2 2015". So make other plans for March (like, doing taxes?) if you originally blocked this month for HoW action...

If every character had their own vault, there would be no way to move items between characters. Also, why don't you just create another character or two? All you need to do is play through the first story level, and you can use that to hold extra items. Consider it long term storage compared to the vault.

I'd like to see one vault shared across all 3 characters, and then a bank specific to each character. Many games do this and it works well.
