Looks similar to the exclusives from D1.
A dope exotic.
A strike.
A map.
and some armor (the psn armor was really low level if I recall though) these are legendary.
Hope they aren't 1+ year exclusives.. I imagine the shitstorm will be magnified this time around due to a lot of people wanting to go to PC.
lol implying that anything I said shows a lack of empathy? Give me a break. You're reaching. You still get the stupid gun if you play the game. If you don't want to pre-order, don't, and wait to get the weapon. If that's too outrageous for you, then you're something called.... throwing a fit, having a tantrum, making a mountain out of a molehill.. and there are really humans that are capable of being ok with not pre-ordering and also not having one specific weapon for 3 months. Believe it or not.

Honestly, I'd be against the idea of this being a pre-order exclusive if that term really meant anything. For digital games, you can "pre-order" up until the game is available to play. For physical games, it's either on the receipt and you can also "pre-order" up until the day the game is available, or.... It's in the box, and 99% of copies between launch and the date the exotic is readily available will include the code anyway.
Not saying it's the best practice, but it really doesn't exclude many people who plan to buy on or around launch.

This SEEMS disgusting but knowing Bungie this is a third tier exotic. Nothing they give away has ever been best in class let alone best in slot.

tl;dr
I was pointing out that you where making a huge presumption and generalization when trying to say that everyone who was complaining was probably just doing it to crap on the game. In other words you where being dismissive in order to protect the honor of something that you liked.
What I was saying is that it's possible to like something and still not be ok with certain aspects of it since you said that you would be surprised if this where the case. Never did I imply that there weren't people that are capable of being ok with pre ordering and being selfish when thinking of others. Obviously there are. This is called a "Screw you got mine" attitude. And I'm specifically talking about the people that are trying to defend the pre order exclusives who know very well that supporting this will just feed the cycle and continue the tradition of the screwing of those who don't sign up.

The sniper is another exotic or just a regular sniper ?
Exotic that changes elemental damage
They've said that was a mistake in D1 and a lot of players got to level 20 and quit playing the game without ever using an exotic. In D2, you're going to get at least some during the main playthrough of the game.

those armor sets are pretty sweet, especially the Titan's.
Warlock set is straight out of D1. Strong Y1 blue tier vibes in that design.
Coming to other platforms in one yea- I mean two- I mean never, because Bungie.
Hopefully there's something in there that no one will know is amazing until it's too late.
If Bungie has learned absolutely anything from D1 then no, there won't be. They really fucked themselves by designing that thing and were never able to come up with anything better or cooler.
Then morons brought it back...
Fucked themselves?
It was one of the most memorable elements of D1.
It's the stuff of legend now.
They wish they could replicate that kind of success.

Why? These are passionate developers talking up their game, they obviously have a love for the universe they've created. I love it when creators really enjoy what they do, you come across as a negative nancy looking for something to bitch about
Not sure. But if Xur sells a heavy and you don't think its worth wasting an exotic slot on, buy it anyway.

I don't think any new exotic won't be bought by everyone if available this time around.
In that sense they really hit the ball out of the field.
In sense that on day 1 game had weapon that was beginning and end of all weapons in the game which they could never one up / replace they really fucked up. In many ways Bungo blew all their design load (weapons, armor model, raids...) in Y1... hell in release content of Y1.
What in the world lmao
The Y1 arsenal was stupid powerful. Gallyhorn, fatebringer, visions, mythoclast (prenerf)
Hawkmoon, Thorn, Corrective Measure, Found Verdict...
It was just nuts how they packed Y1 release content with so many extremely powerful and well rounded weapons that Y1 DLC stuff felt (and was) super weak and blergh in comparison. I hope they learned from that and have mapped out better how they want our power creep to happen so we don't go backwards on it this time.
See my follow up, but they managed to design weapon that was too good at everything in everything and never were able to design something cooler / better.

So there's a new ice element, right? Right...
Bungie.net has a lot of stats for your career, even for D1.
Then there is several 3rd party sites for that stuff.

The Y1 exotics and raid weapons were all awesome. There were some cool ones after, but nothing that was ever as iconic or as fun to use as that batch (except the Swords). It's a shame a select few were "required" in the meta across PvE and PvP, but hopefully Bungie learned how to balance weapons and their encounters so they don't fall apart when you introduce powerful concepts.

I like the D2 Warlock helmets a lot more than the D1 ones in general.
Still after D2 beta I think best armor set for Warlock is VoG set. Curious to see if D2 end game has set to beat that.

That's really stupid, imo. These things need to be rare. Pvp became a huge problem with people all buying the last word from xur. It gave them a huge advantage. I want exotic questlines with lore that build super weapons. I dont want things handed to me.

The PS4 Exclusives were already shown at E3 in a trailer so it's not really something new or anything

Huh? Exotic quests lines means that everyone can get it, at anytime. Unlike Xur where it's only available in a very limited window. Which would make your problem of everyone having an OP gun even worse.
I actually don't really see this as a problem, I prefer it to a situation where there is one god weapon that is extremely rare and can only be obtained via RNG. Don't want a repeat of the Mythoclast pre-nerf situation where the very few players lucky enough to get it had a ridiculous advantage.

Obviously you have to do things to build the exotic and it isn't just handed to you right away. This is about becoming legend so I would suggest that Destiny makes exotics super rare through exploration and putting pieces together. I miss the days of the old puzzles like the halo 3 ring puzzle to get the skull, etc. You can argue a datamine of the game would ruin all that but I would still prefer it over doing meaningless strikes for strange coins.
The gun manufactures actually have history and stories behind them in Destiny. Despite Destiny 1 doing a poor job at telling these stories in game, Bungie is clearly passionate about making every feel as if they are part of the lore, rather than just, "Oh look, a gun."
So stuff like Outbreak Prime? Which was in the most recent expansion of D1.

At least the Warlock gear doesn't look very good to me. Wouldn't wear it even if it was on Xbox day one.
I'm more annoyed about a pvp map and strike I can't play for at least a year.

Really digging that sword. I think I'll keep my digital deluxe preorder, then.
Outbreak Prime sucks for most of the community. I don't know binary so there's no way I could properly contribute to the challenge. All the ARG type puzzles are like that. Cool when they happen but most of us just have to wait while other people piece it together then follow their solution.
Black Spindle was my favorite. It was a hidden mission that was difficult to complete and only available at certain times but the reward was exciting, powerful, and worth it.

I mean, yeah...but I swear....Destiny 1 was at its best when the community was actively trying to break the game...
Year 1 was damn close to magical...it was frustrating, horrible, and effing awesome all at the same time. Sure, I played year 2 and year 3, but it lacked the fever pitch of the G-horn chase, the fatebringer chase....pulling cords off crota, knocking templars off ledges...
Was awesome.
We will get a much more refined experience this go around, but year 1 was a wild ride.

Lol it's fine to take ideas from other games, I just hate how they present it as a "groundbreaking" gun.
