Reddit rumor: Destiny II: Forge of Hope, November 2017, [Kotaku & Bungie skeptical]

But can I change the way my guardian looks after I customize him/her? That's what people cared about when it came to making their own characters.

Pretty much lol.
I thought the whole problem with the original engine was that it took like 5-10 hours to open the maps to modify them. So any time they had to make a change it was like an overnight wait to see how your change actually looked in the game. That's why content additions were so slow because they were difficult to add.
I figured a new engine was a lock because the old one was such a mess.
Still not sure I believe this rumor, but I can't imagine them sticking with the old engine or a modification of it.

I don't have lots of hope for long term development games anymore. I mean look at FF XV, Destiny at launch, and some other long term projects that didn't live up to the hype. I'm not going to get hyped for this because the main thing in destiny that was really lacking was repetitive crap and the story was on cards.... Unless they radically change the story into something amazing and make better content like VoG I think I'm going to wait awhile to get hyped.
Edit: Maybe doing away with destiny 1 characters is a good idea. Just renew the story completely.

That's been a rumor for awhile now. Better get used to the idea or jump ship.
Sure for 500 silver you can re-customize your character.
A new engine sounds nice, but if it's the same "grind for 100 hours to get the one shot headshot gun" type of game count me out. Always despised how they CoDified Halo.
I understand that it has MMO elements, but the unlocks you get should be purely cosmetic. Grinding for a better gun just kills the idea of a skill based FPS.
No character transfer is a good sign of this happening. Fingers crossed.

If my character is being left behind them I'm jumping from PS Pro to Scorpio if there's a visible difference. I'd love it if they would add a Horde or "on-going war" mode where you can have a large number of characters trying to hold a position.

Starting fresh doesn't bother me, I just wish there was a bigger focus on story, an in game Grimoire where unlocking a bunch of cards could lead to a video piece about the lore just something with better direction.
Be interesting to see Bungie release a PC game after all they have said about focusing on console releases. Seeing as destiny 1 was 360 / ps3 + Xb1 / Ps4 maybe now they don't have to deal with old gen they can spare some resources.

Why are people surprised about this? I've put hundreds of hours into Destiny but I don't want to keep my old character throughout the whole thing. I want a fresh start.

I wonder if the content exclusivity will be like CoD (PS4, then Xbox/PC later) or more like the deal MS has with Division where the PC is not subject to the exclusivity and gets it day 1.

MS is basically PC, so I´d assume it does not work the other way around.
Don´t think anyone is expecting more.
My bet is that it's like Call of Duty.

I am really suprised by how many people in this thread give a shit about something as trivial as the subtitle.
I hope it's legit just so we have another credible insider.

would gladly chuck my destiny 1 characters in the trash if it means better stuff for destiny 2
Same. This will make or break Destiny 2 for me.

360, XB1, PS3, PC4 and PC was just too much to handle vor a developer who was used to working on only one platform.

They were already splitting resources between 360/PS3 and XB1/PS4. PC on top of all that might have spread them too thin.
Plus I'd say it still qualifies as "massively popular" even without the PC release.

Agreed. If they separate the PVE and PVP balance/weapons it will go a long way towards fixing a lot of my problems with the current game.
The COD numbers didn't look so good, so I wouldn't be surprised if one of the reason why Acty didn't put it on PC. Plus as Glam said it was too for one developer that only recently worked on one platform.
What about the switch
/s
LOL I'm not sure the Switch could even run the original Destiny let alone Destiny II
Releases in Q4 2017 and the FIRST expansion will be in Q3 2018? Wtf?
I believe they said that you would carry your character over in their 10 year plan, although like a lot of what they said about the game, a lot has changed.
How is this an issue ?
Destiny is an RPG and as such your damage will obviously depend on your level and guns and you obviously will have enemies that take more bullets than others. Just because it's a shooter doesn't mean it can't have the things prevalent in every other RPG.
And just how many PvE weapons can you recall that were rebalanced because of PvP?
But isn't it already as separate as it can be while using the same weapon/perks?
Everytime a patch is out you can easily see that they can balance a weapon for PvE and PvP separately because damage against guardians is different from damage against AI. It's specifically mentioned in the patch notes whether the nerf/buff was against Guardians or AI. Changes to how a weapon works for weapons like TLW are inconsequential since no one used it outside of PvP.
PC players have very different standards that console gamers with respect to MMO lite game. Plus Bungie was already supporting 4 platforms.
It's a marketing tactic to ensure to consumers that it's part of the same universe.
Also I totally called that characters wouldn't transfer. Let me try and dig up the post.

Press Sneak doesn't believe the rumor is legit.

Maybe there is going to be a ton more content in the initial release. Also this still means content patches in between are there.
and it's over.
No, they should jettison everything and not hamstring themselves trying to bring anything over. It's not like anyone's character is unique or interesting in D1 anyway. Everyone has the same weapons and items for the most part if you've put in the time. A lot of the weapon perks probably won't even repeat in 2 so they couldn't roll over most of the parts people might care about anyway.

I don't really care about the platform exclusivity stuff, so I would most likely get Destiny on the PC.
The only thing about Destiny that makes me hesitate to invest in its future sequel is that I didn't dedicate nearly enough time to the game to have a dedicated group of friends to run everything with. This became frustrating when trying to do Nighfalls and other grouped (non-raid) activities. I also hated being looked over for nightfall or raid groups because my exotic wasn't fully maxed out. I don't have the time to run three separate characters and replay the same missions 3 times over to max out a weapon in a day or two. I tried sacrificing my time for that at one point; it was fun, but I had to just stop. Hopefully Destiny 2 will be friendlier to people who don't run 2 to 3 characters and spend the majority of their free time playing it.
Edit: I also agree with the balancing PvE weapons around PvP. That was not, and will never be, a good idea.

I don't believe it. It sounds like a safe rumor though
Right, I can't believe Nintendo made a tablet console weaker than the Wii U, PS3, and 360
