Destiny 2 previews, a lot gameplay videos from European Dead Zone patrol
- Thread starter Tovarisc
- Start date
Bungie won't even admit they exist so I wouldn't expect to hear anything. Hopefully people leak dump everything soon.
I feel stuck as Hunter because the other classes' jumps feel fucking terrible and Bungie insists on cramming bad filler platforming into every mission.
Why would I want a surprise on something a company is asking me to pay for? Who the fuck buys a surprise car or surprise clothing? At least provide a list of the features and such I'm getting for my money.

Gunslinger is capable of producing like 8 orbs, what are you talking about with equal footing? lol

Awesome. Great news that they're coming back. Potential for a fourth with DLC as well now. God damn, I can't wait to jump into this.
Hunters felt incredibly dry in the beta whereas the other two classes had more interesting skills. A lot of people also thought they felt underpowered. It was a thing, people wrote about it.
Personally, I don't care how many orbs I produce if it's boring to play.

If the Gulch doesn't look like Bloodgulch, I will be sad.

I was always hyped for the PC version because 60fps, FOV and all that, but I think I'm finally hyped for D2 content.
While it does look like more of the same Destiny and still very familiar mechanics and gameplay, it seems way more fleshed out now. The wait for Oct 24 will be tough. I'm pretty sure I'll know the entire game by the time I can get my hands on it

I'm weak
Good catch! Glad to see that these classes are returning.
Eh, I enjoy instant reloads, faster reloads with CoW, throwing knives, and trip mines over a wall that will go down in seconds in PVE and a well that requires you to stand directly in a small spot. Different strokes I suppose...
The orb generation should have squelched the chatter about them being worthless compared to the other two classes though.
Yup. Hunter master class continues.

I wouldn't really be willing to buy the game after Destiny 1, if I was just asked to go in blind and hope to see some nice surprises after I bought the game
I get that it's probably a lot different for people who loved Destiny 1 though, but yeah, that really ain't me
In the official trailer, the EDZ NPC guy says at one point, "I see you brought some friends..."
Acknowledging that we're part of a team is something I've wanted to see in Destiny for a while. All of the dialogue in strikes and missions praise us in the singular, never referencing the team that is working together. I hope that's something addressed more holistically in D2's dialogue.
(I'm playing Fallout 4 now, which is really good about adding lots of little situational asides when you are with a companion.)

This was the type of stuff I wanted in the first game. Going to make the entire game experience a lot better. Excited.
The preview that was posted early yesterday showed the player collecting materials from the environment, but I haven't watched any of the new ones yet.
Edit: the EDZ really looks huge on the basis of the trailer, map and yesterday's preview vid, especially factoring in the lost sectors. Really wide spectrum of environments in it.

Bungie flat out gave away the hint regarding additional sub classes in one of their interviews. Plus they have been mostly semi-silent about it, esseintially giving it all away that it was mostly confirmed.
That would have been enough to justify the purchase on top with all the content they have already announced for Destiny 2.
This is just a classic case of folks ruining shit up. Sucks for people intending to go dark for this game as well. You can add me to that list.
It is what it is, but it would have been nice had it stayed as a surprise given all the assurance that has already been given by Bungie.

If you wanted to go in dark I don't understand why you're clicking on threads to do with Destiny 2 previews, especially ones focused around people playing new content.
Bungie's assurances mean nothing though. I'm pretty spoiler averse, but I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect people to not discuss gameplay features in a preview thread unless they're some truly earth-shaking stuff. The story and all other stuff like that has been basically kept under wraps.
Thrilled Nightstalker is back. I hope it's an interesting pair of perk sets akin to the D2 Voidwalker and its health regen chains. The hunter class stuff so far has been impressively lacking in imagination.
This really didn't spoil much, and I'm not going to have less of an experience when I play because of it. I prefer to know more information going in so I'm aware of all the mechanics.

Nice. The website has updated but the clan system seems a bit broken at the moment?

Fuck! I can't wait!
Bungie tweeted they are looking into issues with site.
Yeah, the beta is gonna be very important for me to decide if I'm gonna wait the PC version or not.
Awesome!!!! My clan is set up and ready to roll.

Do we know how many patrols are in this? Is it just EDZ?

Is this map size surpposed to impressive?
I keep trying to reign in the hype, telling myself that it's more of the same, but D2 looks fantastic. The minute refinements are exactly the kinds of things I was hoping for, but with more of that great Destiny gameplay. Glad I've got some things to keep me busy for 2 weeks, because I am excited.
Earth, Io, Nessus and Titan are known, possible they have kept location or two hidden.

Ok. This is such a huge improvement from the customary system they had in place in D1.
The good thing also, is that they can even add more & improve clan rewards over time to keep giving people incentive to stay with their clan of choice. Huge plus if Bungie thinks outside the box and adds timed clan content on Destiny 2 events.
I'm 100% in with this.
I'd wager it's just certain ones. There's a cryptarch at the Farm also.
