Well then. Can't disagree.
Nah, its just been speculated that this is the video that Bungie plans to release for gamescon.
Edit: sorry for double post.

********* With expansions. Crucial detail there.
Vanilla Destiny was a really well playing husk of a game. You gotta get House of Wolves and especially The Taken King to tap into the good stuff.
There's a map that flashes briefly it seems to be a zoomed in area of the EDZ.
In that zoomed in area there are 6 adventures and 12(!) lost sectors.
HOLY CRAP
good shit......I love stuff like this, even if it is marked. The adventure stuff I'm excited too, maybe this is where they will tell the backstory of the planet, how things got to the way they were and more.
So fucking excited
Why does it bother you that people want a mirror to already leaked footage? Everyone is quite calm.

You guys are crazy with the "i hope there's a grind" talk. Spending thousands of hours on a game grinding for stuff (which I have on Destiny) is not something I want to repeat so easily. The game should be more accessible for everyone, not just for the hardcore.
Sidenote, so glad they got rid of random perks on guns. Grinding for good rolls on guns was the absolute worst.

I think they're phrasing it wrong. More like "I hope there's enough content to feel fulfilling playing it for even half the time I spent on Destiny 1".
Thanks for the clarification! Just curious, since this post was made a loooong time ago, do you keep a bookmark on those thing?
For anyone looking for the video, I updated the link on the first post since people uploaded the video on vid.me: https://vid.me/Qd3EM
Edit: Beaten!

I think Bungie is getting a 15 minute slot with Blizzard tomorrow at gamescon.

I respect what you are saying but couldn't disagree more. That grind is what kept me playing Destiny every day. But it wasn't the grind for levels or light but for gear. I stopped playing once destiny became about the best rolls rather than the gun itself.
So I want the grind but not for numbers. I want loot.
When most people talk about the grind in Destiny, they're referring to reaching max light.
The "grind" to get cool gear and weapons isn't going away.
Another leaked video of a public event

nice to see that exotic rewards are part of the loot table for public events now. I wonder what a "bright" engram can be

Jesus that was one ugly looking hand cannon.
Exotics from public events is just silly. I hope the drop rate is extremely low.
imagine if this was posted in October 2014

Better than no exotics lol
On a more serious note, I'd think its only one exotic per week
I don't, I hope drop rate is decent.

The embargo for Destiny 2 previews is gonna be lifted for this Thursday at 5 PM CEST
So if you want to stay spoiler-free, its better off to not read/watch the previews.

Nah, it just popped into my head when I read your post. I couldn't remember what thread it was posted in, but it was easy to track down thanks to "NDAs" being a rare keyword as far as EviLore's posts are concerned (two results).

Looks like more destiny which is fine by me.
I did notice the ships just magically warp in on the public events . I much prefer d1 version where they would fly in and unload .

Very excited about this footage.
A few bits of speculation that I've gleamed from the footage:
- Each planet having it's own reputation sort of makes it so every planet has it's own loot table. You can go to the EDZ and do activities there to get gear from that loot table and so on, so I think you'll definitely see people grouping for the Flashpoint, but also just to farm activities on a set planet if the gear is highly sought out.
- Tons of Lost Sectors on the map, hopefully they all have something interesting going on.
- Vehicles galore. I really hope the controls for the Pike and the Interceptor are a bit tighter, because I love the idea of having them around so they can participate in the open world battles.
- High Value Targets are integrated more seamlessly into the encounters, which is cool. They are definitely the definition of mini-boss, they don't really seem to have much going on, but I love the idea of them meshing with the content and making it more interesting and more rewarding.
- Adventures really seem like the old story missions and DLC missions from Destiny 1. You're going around scanning things, fighting waves of enemies. If that's the case, what can we expect from the Campaign? I'm hoping it's on another level higher than that, and the Adventures are kind of the replayable story element. Also the adventures granted an "Upgrade Point", I wonder what those are used for!
- This is also without seeing the additional stuff when the destination is the Flashpoint for the week, and Cayde's treasure maps in play as well.
I'm really looking forward to this part of Destiny. It looks like it's actually made a step forward and actually evolved. I hope they follow through with that.

I'm like 75% sure that Upgrade Points are used for unlocking subclass perks.
If that's the case, in my opinion that is way better than Destiny 1's exp system for unlocking the nodes. Took forever, delayed you from getting the perks you want and getting into the action more.
This is way more direct. If I want the Shield Bash perk for my Sentinel, I should be able to get right in there.
Like I said, I'm not a hundred percent sure. But it's the most reasonable explanation so far. I have no idea if perk unlocks have to happen in a succession or whether you can pick and choose from all of them. The beta build showcased that PvE and PvP "groupings" are separate, so you might be able to prioritize whichever you want at first.
Don't quote me on any of that. The game is less than two weeks away (nnnnnggh), we'll see soon enough. Or some more preview videos will pop up, showing the character menu and subclass leveling.
Obtaining exotics in Destiny 1 was already too easy and boring grind, why to make it any harder and more interesting? I hoped they would tie all exotics to some quest (lines) and bigger events, something they talked about few times back in during D1 days.
With Bungie the problem always lies with what is not announced. The game will come with systems to artificially extend the life of the game by slowing down players. And we will hate these parts. We love the grind, but we hate when we feel we are forced to walk when we want to run.
Press preview build. The video is from a Polish (?) site that accidentally (or not?) put it up too early. Previews are now trickling in, expect many more videos in the coming days.
I refused to watch any of the mirrors, Bold is going in blind here on out and can't bloody wait.
I put D1 down a week ago, despite only finishing 3/4 raids and never having done trials. In the mean time, other games such as Warframe and Doom have been great void-filllers, but Destiny 2 is the main event and it will be big.

With the amount of content D2 looks to have, that little bit of exclusive stuff means so much less this time around. In a content-starved game it seemed like a huge loss, but hopefully it won't feel anything like the same kind of unfair situation this go.
