Maybe they are going to increase rewards based on the efficiency of raid completion instead. Definitely not. There would be no sherpa-ing, the community would be toxic. Even if they were just cosmetic? I always thought the no revive mechanic was a bit dubious because it meant Warlocks defaulted to Sunsinger. I'm sure there will be ways of forcing players to "git gud" without resorting to no revives. Bungie has enough fans of Dark Souls and WoW to use mechanics from those games or something. |

Losing power ammo on death would actually be a pretty decent penalty if you ask me. You can still support your team with your subclass skills, and can still do add patrol etc.

Well, I have no qualms if there are cosmetics for truly special players. We can have enough decent cosmetic items for other stuff. I liked what I saw in the Age of Triumph book but I guess other people will want stuff that aren't really designed with them in mind. |

I've never had a problem with it. I like how a normal mode had the timer but hard mode didn't. It forced me to git gewd and not have my handheld. Maybe they are going to increase rewards based on the efficiency of raid completion instead. It'll be interesting to see |

Bungie PC lead already confirmed that recoil is present on PC but is adjusted from console values. This is also fairly obvious to anyone that's watched any PC gameplay. Noseworthy comes of as kind of an idiot in that interview which isn't exactly a good sign.

Yeaq... Noseworthy just released a tweet clarifying that "It's still there; but heavily modified from console."

Why though? Because there is no aim assist?
Good move on the earlier release date. Makes me confident they are thinking about "everything".

www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/45983Bungie revealed how in D2, they are going to recognize those who did accomplished things in D12 (spoiler: emblems) They also give dates about the "last chance to do ______" IB & ToO will be back in some "beautiful (lol) and unexpected ways" Xur will be returning EDIT: OMG... I forgot the best news of all for XBoxers.... you'll finally get the Destiny 1 PS4 exclusives you've been dying to get your hands on so you can be cool like us PS4ers... Yep... you'll get it... in October. You know... after D2 has launched. Woot woot?

I hope they blow up Destiny 1 on launch day. Like, if you log in you just see a huge explosion and all of your character data is wiped.

Destiny 1 should have a final mission where you try... and fail... to defend the tower...

Don't delete it right away or at least until a few days after play D2... you lose any character progress/recognition that D2 would grant you. Just like if you did a whole bunch of achievements on a character, then deleted it... you lose the achievementss. |

Noseworthy comes of as kind of an idiot in that interview which isn't exactly a good sign. Nothing that dude said made any sense. And as someone who played console Destiny with a mouse... I mean the recoil mechanics felt fine. Usually when they decide to change recoil between PC and console versions it's the console version that gets lowered recoil anyway. |

I am D2 pre-paid, so I'm Beta ready, cucks. |

I'm going to predict that Destiny 2's character creator is exactly the same as Destiny 1.

If I can't set my gender fluids to "tranny surprise" in D2 character creator there will be rainbow hell to pay.

Yeah, not right away, although some of that stuff must be server side. Doubt it; I've pugged with many a player who lost many an accomplishment because of a deleted character. I'm keeping D1 on my hd until a few weeks after D2. If I can't set my gender fluids to "tranny surprise" in D2 character creator there will be rainbow hell to pay. The availability of the Exo Titan has been there since... beta, no? Hence the peekaboo games you all play with Hunters and the Titan Butttowels. Furthermore, I am just happy that now my characters are finally able to identify as my RL gender: Apache Attack HelicopterOn a serious note... does anyone know if we can recreate characters? Can I remake my 3 warlocks into each of the classes, or do I have to delete them? |

No I mean that Destiny 1 should have a big blowout final mission where you live out the failed defense of the tower. It would be an epic way to celebrate D1 as well as a great way to market D2 directly to all the D1 players, possibly even hinting at some of the things coming in D2. Players could even unlock a reward to be received in D2 by completing it. Perhaps in D2 there could be a memorial to the battle with a digital list of all the names of the guardians that tried to defend the tower.
It doesn't really matter that D1 will still be playable. It's not like everything in the game remains chronological anyway. How many times can you kill the same boss? How many times can you find the Warmind? How many times does the Stranger not have time to explain why she doesn't have time to explain? It doesn't matter.
Personally I see failing to create an epic final battle as a massive missed opportunity, but whatever... I'm used to that from Bungie by now... Personally I'm more curious about Anthem than D2 at this point, but I'll wait and see on both points. To be honest I'm not super tempted to get either just because I don't really need a massive time sink, grindfest of a game in my life... I don't have the free time to devote to it, and I certainly don't want to be locked into buying the DLC or being left behind. The dollars per hours of enjoyment works out great if you have tons of time to play it, but if you don't then the value evaporates right before your eyes and you're stuck with 1 game to play for years instead of 2 or 3. *shrug* For me shorter, and more varied games have a much better value. If I had more free time I'd be more into it, though. I did enjoy Destiny until they priced me out.

You will have to import them, move funky veteran stuff into a safe place if we don't have kiosks, and then delete any characters you wish to remake. Apparently the character transfer is automatic. I have no idea if social spaces will have the option to wear helmets or not. |

I know the character transfer is automatic, but I'm wondering if there still is a class creator? I guess we'll find out later. But honestly, it really isn't anything if I have 3 warlocks again

I doubt there would not be a class creator. And it will probably be the same one from Destiny 1.

I read this article on Reddit that said that Destiny 2 will have a feature on the pre-built create a class, as well as audio settings, that allow you to 'set' what gender you identify as, sexuality, as well as what pronouns you would like to be identified with. Your robot will now use context sensitive pronouns when referring to you. Even a class that allows more politically correct neutral pronouns like zei, zir and hir. So rather than your robot saying "I have notified him", it would say "I have notified ze". This way one doesn't improperly identify their gender through outfits alone. For example, I could like put down Cisgendered, heteronormative privledged white male, pronouns he and him for myself. I guess this will be pretty cool, although I'm not sure if it's really a selling point. It does nothing for me. I suppose some people, Touch Football fans like Marcopolo, I would imagine he will get in this quite a bit.
