More vault space? Mmmkay
-
One thing you did miss The Year 3 - Thorn exotic weapon is making it's return!! between that and the Gjhorn, crucible is going to be a war zone!!
-
So once [i]RoI[/i] launches, all the Taken gubbins will stop? So I can patrol without having to move to another area when they invade?

Edited by Mistah Jay: 8/3/2016 1:24:24 PMThis community is filled with morons... Ttk hype: OMG LOOK AT ALL THIS STUFF! THEY ARE FIXING THE GAME FINALLY! two months after release: wheres all the shit you showed off? There is nothing to do now. Tldr this community is filled with gold fish who can't remember how bored they got so quickly with a bigger dlc the year before...
-
So basically they put a $30 price tag on the stuff we've been begging for for quite some time, took away most of the Iron Lagger buffs to rep gain to artificially increase gametime, made the enemies and their weapons far more annoying, adjusted strike rewards but again behind a $30 paywall, and a no brainer sh*t attempt at story and making it seem as if Saladin isn't the only Iron Lord left alive? Just as shoddy as Oryx and his Taken horde... though the book of sorrow was a good read, but too boring and detailed to be the work of the current Bunghole.
-
Doesn't really sound like it's worth $30...
-
Man, Bungie is stupid. Destiny is garbage. *pulls out wallet. Hands over $30*. I can't wait for Rise of Iron!!! Wait what... I took about an eight month break. I'm having fun again. I like the changes and I can't wait for the new content. Great work on the thread.
-
I'm glad banner is getting a revamp! Also I'm hoping there's more than 1 way to reach max light!
-
Hey here's a better idea for those who actually watch the streams and such, JUST WAIT UNTILL THE ACTUAL GAME COMES OUT, PLAY IT AND BE DONE! All this building up towards a game thats going to shatter expectations once again is utterly stupid and a pointless waist of time.... [spoiler]......yeah i need a snickers....[/spoiler]

Wow Bungie, a well deserved round of applause. The idea of the Memory artifacts has me really intrigued. The Skeleton Keys are a great idea. Thorn 3.0, yes please....and let's get real here for a moment: you bring back a gun despised by PvP Guardians (loved by me) and the Gjallarhorn...it isn't hard to piece together that the Icebreaker will be making its triumphant return. I'm really quite excited. I think I am just about sold on pre-ordering this expansion. One thing I'm looking forward to now is to see how you do with the story element. You've been slowly improving on that front and you can bet I will be here to critique it.
-
I don't really understand all the hate toward the new armor, I think most of it looks great! The Warlock raid gear looks... Interesting. It makes me think of evil futuristic samurai's. I guess I'm just excited to finally have a plethora of armor to wear. All year 2 gear + all this new stuff? Yes please!
-
Why change iron banner tempered buff?love about the idea for bounty give you weapons or armor but removing tempered buff???if they actually give you good reward for rank 5 package maybe it would be good to remove tempered buff....
-
Fingers crossed for the 16th being news of custom mm
-
MLG please...
-
-
So basically make the gear shittier and shittier looking each year? This is probably the worst looking gear of any game I've seen.
-
I don't have a lot of interest in destiny anymore. but thank you for the effort you put into this thread. I appreciate it
-
Im a mega-fan of destiny. I'm hyped for rise of iron. Let in the salt.
-
Oh my....this sounds amazing!! The exotic Khvostov is everything I could have asked for! And get ready for the return of thorn guardians!!! Can't wait to learn and see more.
-
how many destiny era players are coming back we got alpha beta day1 raiders of the lost vault christmas noobs puppies(HoW nickname not my fault now) taken tots jokers(april update) and no idc bout punctuation
-
Yay Thorn. Sike. Here comes more scrubs lol
-
- Every Class Item ever seen is returning to circulation EXCEPT previous Raid Class Items and will change with shaders Does this mean I can get vanilla IB gear. I've wanted them so bad, but I joined in TDB so I wasn't able to get them.

Bump comment lol
