Bump comment lol

So if there's a quest for thorn, does that mean there will be more lore coming for the dwindler's ridge saga? I thought a writer was quoted saying that story was complete (heard via DGS). Sorry if repost.
-
If I secure the area can I keep the sweaty players out? :/
-
Now its even harder for me to decide if I should pick up destiny when I get my ps4.
-
I hoped they'd bring back the shadow of veils, but I never in my wildest dreams thought they might bring back alll Y1 vendor class items. AOS#Cryptid, here I come!!!
-
Any word on if those artifacts are class specific? And if so which class does each one go to?
-
still no fcking solar Thunderlord
-
Can anyone give me a rundown of what's been happening in the wonderful world of destiny. It's been a while since I've been here.

With all this new stuff, I'm excited as a Destiny player to see what Year 3 will hold for us. I understand Bungie not pulling the raid weapons and raid class items through (we all saw that one coming, they serve no purpose in the next expansion), and I'm not surprised they're bringing in more exotics. As a player, I have spent the last month and a half finishing out (ok, the term is grinding but still) the Moments of Triumph for Year 2 (and boy, oh boy, it was fun). I've got my loadout for Year 3 already completed, what with collecting my Iron Banana toys and my other Prison of Elders toys for the coming year. As a player, I'm kinda at that point where I'm bored and I've been playing Tom Clancy's The Division Underground DLC to pass the time while I wait for the Bungie gods to release their next big thing. On the matter of hype, Bungie has done nothing but show us what they're going to do with Destiny. We all remember when they hyped up the game and it came out looking like a literal pile of crap. No one liked it. However ever since April, I've seen nothing bad from them. They fixed up the game to a reasonable state, and it'll do till the RoI come out. I think their hype has been appropriately distributed and think they are not gonna bs us this time, but only time will tell...

Those IB changes are dumb as all hell if they don't boost rep gains in general to make up for all the rep loss. The emblems, shaders, and class items have boosted rep gain since vanilla.
-
While it is only a short ways away, remember that anything can change. They can choose to remove or add anything. Go ahead and get excited, but don't take any information as a guarantee of what's to come.

The VoG cloak is the best one and isn't comming back :(
-
Custom Matches to be confirmed on August 16th?!
-
Bump for later
-
You can tell by the weapons that legacy consoles aren't involved in this.
-
Bump.
-
ALL ABOARD HE MOTHER -blam!-ING HYPE TRAIN
-
As if wire rifle isn't OP enough...
-
ALL ABOARD THE HYPETRAIN! :D
-
at this rate the news on the 16th is more then likely going to be the tipping point for me on if I will be continuing destiny. TTK left me with a very bad taste in my mouth and bungie lost more faith from me in one year then I thought a company other then konami was capable of pulling off. with the coming changes though they might be trying to fix things finally. listing the future events so early was a big and welcome surprise but they also spent over 2 min. of their last stream showing off a pre-order sparrow that the fans made ages ago like it was the next best thing since the invention of the wheel.
-
Sitting here neither cynical or hyped...just interested to see something else in the world of Destiny... Detractors callin everyone names about being excited for this DLC will more than likely buy it, and the hype mongers attacking the critics will hate the content 3 months post release. Maybe we could all just take the info with a pinch of salt and chill?

This actually seems pretty cool
