Why do you care how he spends his time off? Also getting 3 characters ready for the raid is going to take a long time.

I'm hoping to take a week off as well for launch. With Destiny 2 coming, then Cod WII, then Star Wars Battlefront 2, I want to get as ready as I can in Destiny 2. Also, super stoked to relive the beginning of a new Destiny game. That first week of it all being new to everyone is the best! Things aren't just about grinding for loot, it's about exploring, taking in the cool scenery and all that fun stuff.

Future War Cult chest armor (Hunter) was spotted.
So was a New Monarchy Hand Cannon.

This.
I want to collect every weapon and at least twice with different perks (PVE and PVP).
108 is fucking small.
Tower: The leaker on Reddit, who got a ton of stuff right, said that a second social space will open up after the campaign. I personally think this means you'll be able to visit the Tower again after you take the city back. But you can only access it after beating the campaign, which would be cool.
Reef and Iron Temple: They're likely still there but they won't be places you can visit in vanilla Destiny 2. However, Shinobi's original leak right here on GAF last September implied that they could eventually bring back areas from Destiny 1 later on.
I think Destiny 2 fixes the development tools and framework around the game, which will allow areas to carry forward into future full sequels like Destiny 2. So I personally believe we'll get back a bunch of areas in Destiny 1 later in Destiny 2's life -- but with more to do.

In case anyone was wondering, there's also an image of the sword / emote included with the collector's edition:
I was always planning on getting this version so I'm happy to see what extras come with it

I'm really hoping for a hoard-like mode. Got my pre-order in, got a solid week booked off from work at launch, and I can't wait!
I'm liking what we've been shown so far. It's Destiny, but improved Destiny. Can't wait to sink my teeth into the Beta.

For the love of God give me Destination Materials to farm!
Let my stockpiles grow to absurd amounts!
Wonder when they will take about which currencies are moving forward or how they're changing that system

While I think there will still be a limit to the Vault, my personal hope is that Destiny 2 introduces a revamped kiosk system.
Instead of multiple kiosks for different things (exotics weapons, exotic armor, holiday loot, emblems, ships, etc.), they will have a single kiosk (placed in multiple areas) that tracks all of that.
And not just all of what there were already kiosks for in Destiny 1 but it would track literally every piece of loot in the game, from the obvious exotic loot all the way down to green and grey common and uncommon loot.
It would let you grab something you previously had to delete whenever you want while also simultaneously acting as a catalog/checklist for completionists like myself.

Competitive players would love to jump into Private Matches ASAP as it would allow them to test weapons, abilities, etc.. to theorycraft what's going to be most effective. It also allows them to Practice and Scrimmage.
It hasn't officially been confirmed but there was a clip of a few Streamers/YT guys talking and one of them stated that Bungie staff had been discussing with someone else that there was not going to be any Private Matches at launch.
Omg
That's disappointing but if it's there by the December expansion, I won't be too upset. There should be plenty to do in the game.
It probably isn't many players that do private matches anyway.

I don't bother to have one kiosk for every type of item but I will love to have all weapons and gears in the collection (even the green ones).
Cross-save???

A small % of players so, again, probably not a priority.
Well if it's not in, then yeah, it's safe to assume Bungie doesn't see it as a priority. However, don't count out this particular small % of players because they're the ones who bring in consistent viewers once the raid content is chewed up and spit out (which doesn't ever take very long) and having that exposure keeps Destiny in the public zeitgeist between major content releases, and that's fairly important.

Do we know how much of the PC version Vicarious Visions is doing?
Nessus isn't made up, it's a real centaur planetoid!
Watch the Homecoming mission again. It shows off the improvements really well. Materials, particles, and post processing are much better.

I'm incredibly sad about shotguns being heavy weapons. I doubled Universal Remote + my FWC shotgun for like 8 months on my Hunter.
Trying not to be salty when pvp balance ruins my fun.

You get a lot more ammo for shotguns than the other types of power weapons. It seems like an interesting balance. I think they're more powerful than the were in D1 as well.

You know what I'm hoping they do different in Destiny 2? I want the story missions to be more cinematic.
I loved how you could replay a Halo campaign and it just felt like you were going through a long movie. Get comfortable, blast threw baddies and then the end of one level fades right into the next.
In Destiny, you had an obnoxious Ghost talking to you and then an obnoxious mission screen pops up and then you see your loot and then you're kicked to orbit and then you have to select your next mission. Everything was too "video gamey" and it made the lack of a story all the more apparent.
I doubt they're going to change their story format because the game is designed to have those bite sized missions and then send you back home to grab bounties and decrypt engrams, but I do hope they've reconsidered it for the sake of their story presentation. It really wont matter how good the story is if they show me a giant ass rewards screen after every mission.

They're using PBR (physically based rendering) on all of their materials as well.

In IGN's fireteam chat, Mark Noseworthy confirmed they've gone to a physically-based rendering system in Destiny 2.
Nobody seems to be talking about that, but it's a huge upgrade relative to the first game.

Thank you!
Story missions and strike look great, but this first look at mp is very disappointing. That map looks ripped straight out of cod - nothing but peaking around alleys and corners, almost no verticality playing to destinys movement. At least ttk looks better (who am I kidding, that's because they don't have the best rng guns)

Yea it's a really safe 3 lane, but at least we know it'll play fine and not shit like most of Destiny's maps were
Stupid question. The OP alludes to the answer, but I just want to make sure.
The guided games isn't just for solo players, correct? I play in a group of two or three people, so this feature is great for us as we haven't done a lot of the raids cuz we just haven't taken the time for LFG features. But all of the guided games messaging has been for "solo players" looking for a guide, and I want to make sure that it can work for small parties as well.

I'm actually not 100% sure. There's a lot of things we don't have great answers on, which is part of why I took so long to make this thread, hoping to get better answers.
First story mission they showed in the reveal was pretty damn cinematic IMO. The bit where Ikora showed up, nova bombed / hopped on the Cabal ship while the player was walking through Tower North was certainly a step forward with the immersion. So I actually have fairly high hopes for the campaign this time around.

Yes! Thank you nirolok for making this thread!!! A lot to read through.
I'm taking a week off (8/8-8/15) as well, hoping my friends do too. PTOs are given for a reason, and some of the most fun I've ever had's been discovering secrets with the community, exploring new terrains with friends and more in Destiny 1 at launch. I'm hoping to replicate that experience with the launch of Destiny 2, should be great and cheaper than a vacation.

During the reveal presentation, the presenter discussing Guided Games mentioned "One or two people looking for a group" so if we take this phrase at face value, it should be for at least 2 people to join a full group.

Aside from the NPCs being there in the fight as opposed to over the comms, it still looked like a Destiny mission, and then it went into a cutscene to take you to the next area.
Hoping they show more soon

Is the only beta info still that it'll be "this summer"? I'm hoping PC beta date is announced when the release date is confirmed.
In some of the EDZ footage it looked like a piece of The Traveler was there. Wonder if that was the piece broken off the bottom and we go there to get more Light.
Looks like it. Should be interesting to see where that goes with the Osiris DLC.
