With only 5 story missions, I hope they take longer than 5 minutes to complete.

You the real MVP

Nice post mate cheers
-
Ty for the detailed info!
-
I'm guessing that the long awaited crucible change will be punishing quitters.

What's the ROI launch date September?
-
Great post man! Will you be updating it with any new info on release? If so I'll add this to my favorites and follow it lol.
-
So if it's every class item except those from the raids, does the mean the original Iron Banner Hunter cloak will return?
-
Bump for later
-
Now THIS, I can fap to.
-
Great post! Definitely excited for RoI.
-
Thanks 👍🏼
-
!giveaway
-
only thing idont like is making the ib easier. cause the bounties are stupid easy already. whats next? just spawn in and get a completion? wtf? but the rest of this sounds solid. 5 story missions is a wee low..1 new strike sucks donkey balls....but if pvp comes with dedicated servers or private matches... both have been asked for the loudest so its gotta be one right of them right? either of those will be a godsend. welp.... excitement level just boosted a smidge

Bamp!!!!!

Edited by AmberDragon261: 8/2/2016 11:32:57 PMOne thing that I'm wondering about is if all the artifacts effect only you or your whole fireteam. I mean, imagine I have a 3 man fireteam. One guy has the Jolder artifact, the other has the negation of DoT artifact, and the last one has the increased super energy when around teamate artifact. Would those stack all together or not? Because I could see this as a way of giving more options to players.
-
Hey, when does the stream start?
-
What do you mean August 8th. Just saying
-
Thanks for this appreciate the effort in putting the info in one place. Still not getting ROI though. Will wait for reviews and gameplay videos first.
-
Bump. Ty for the summary.
-
Damn it. I wasn't that hyped for RoI. You sir just changed my mind. I really hope ALL of this is true. They have promised stuff like this before and we were burned in the end.
