[spoiler]I put a poll up not long ago to see who would be Lost Sols' replacement until he gets unbanned. After chatting a little bit with the man himself, I decided to take it upon myself to step into the shoes of a respected community member and try to fill the void. That's why I'm putting a recap up for you guys.[/spoiler]
As of writing this, the stream showcasing one of the new Strike Missions coming in Destiny: The Taken King, has just ended.
Honestly, I loved it. As short as the stream was, it was definitely very exciting to see what we're getting in just a few weeks.
I think it's safe to say that this Strike will be complete chaos when it becomes a Nightfall, there is Cabal and Taken enemies everywhere, a Goliath Tank in a medium-sized room, and two massive bosses with new interesting abilities.
We also caught a glimpse of the Arc Edge in action, it seemed to be working effectively.
New marks and weapons were dropping, as well as being displayed.
The most important part for me?
The bosses [b]aren't[/b] reskinned bullet sponges.
You heard me right, this may be the end of those pain in the ass bullet sponge bosses.
The new supers were showcased yet again, also showing that Titans can use their Hammer of Sol to grant themselves an overshield.
No new exotics were seen from what I remember, just legendaries.
I also noticed that there was a barrier above the boss arena, but instead of a static screen saying "Turn Back!" it now says "Returning To Your Allies!" with the countdown included, I'm happy about that.
They will no longer be known as "Death Barriers", but now they will be known as [i][b][ERROR: CLEVER PUN NOT FOUND][/b][/i] and that excites me.
I'll see if I can get Sols to send me a list of stuff he enjoyed or noticed and I will paste it on here when I can.
[b][u]TL;DR[/u][/b]
New weapons and armor were seen, the bosses aren't bullet sponges, no waves of enemies while Ghost scans things, great design and mechanics.
Great stream all around, good work Bungie.
I'm all hyped for the Court of Oryx stream now, and I'll update everyone when that happens.
The full stream can be found on Bungie's Twitch channel under 'Past Broadcasts' so if you want to watch it again, go ahead.
Until next time!

[spoiler]There is no way I could be Sols' replacement....
I'm horrible at this.[/spoiler]
EDIT:
So, how many more people are gonna bash me for picking up where someone left off?
EDIT 2:
Welcome back Sols!

Edited by Unforgiven: 8/27/2015 1:07:36 AMHey LOST Sols is actually back. And this post seemed biased. Very heavily fanboyish taste. The first boss was shoot the tires tank. Seemed to be that they wanted you to engage with bosses. But instead they put are skinned tank from the mars strike which everyone hated. The hand cannon he was using was a re-skin of the older hand cannons. The ghost voice is badly acted. Titan hammer looks decent. After that it looked like easy mode strike. Bosses seemed to be doing nothing but jumping around. Overall it was a 6/10. If this is all we have to expect from Destiny year 2. I guess cancelling the pre-order would not be such a bad idea.
