This is a very well made thread, have a star.
-
When Xbox has the ability to pre-order Rise of Iron through the console store, we will still get the Iron Gjallarhorn and Gjallarwing?
-
Memory of Radegast only challenge in Crotas end anyone?
-
Edited by Ahhsenberg: 8/3/2016 3:59:15 PMMeh. Most of the content will be revamped strikes for me. The few story missions won't last all that long and Crucible will be the same old shit(even with custom games it won't add anything without friends). The new power boosters/modifiers won't really add too much besides more annoying setups in Crucible. The new CoO thing will probably be used as much as CoO - rarely. So... it really comes down to exploring the new areas and doing whatever measly things to get new/brought forward loot to re-rank up for the Raid. As for the new Raid, if it's anything like the current one, I won't even bother doing it as it's boring(the horrid LFG community is bad enough). Personally, the $30 will probably be worth it, but it won't last too long after the campaign when I get my class balanced out(Faction stuff). I wish Destiny pumped out a steady flow of new stories(not just a minute cutscene at the start of the DLC) for us to play through instead of the repetitive events. But, I guess Destiny is just a grinding game for loot. Oh well. Guess I'll have to read the collectible lore on a website sometime.

Looks like they're finally slowing down with the production of new content and have started focusing on spending more time to make higher quality content as opposed to rushing out crappy content every few months. I hope rise of iron truly lives up to the hype.
-
Okay i may sound like an idiot but every post says that supremacy resembles Kill from COD. What the heck is "Kill"?
-
So pumped for this
-
That new Crucible feature better be custom games, where we can set our own detailed parameters for a match...
-
"- Gjallarhorn, Thorn, and Khvostov confirmed to be obtained in Year 3 through quests." [b]here comes another year of thorn infested noobs.[/b] - "One more major change coming to Crucible when Rise of Iron launches", but no details yet. (NEWS ON THIS EXPECTED AUGUST 16TH)" [b]praying for the ability to create your own server and set your own rules![/b] "- New Crucible Game Mode called "Supremacy" resembles CoD Kill Confirmed with extremely short respawn times" [b] Imagine if one of the iron banner months has this game mode lol[/b]

Toaster, yet again.........[spoiler]FOR THE WIN!!!!! ;-)[/spoiler]
-
Will there be new Grimoire cards??
-
is tyra karn, eva levante in disguise?!
-
How did you get this info?
-
Imagine all the nerf posts this will create. And all the changes for the first weapons update afterwards haha
-
Hey toaster, didn't they say we could change weapons skins or am I fantasizing?
-
Edited by deutschrider: 8/3/2016 2:36:00 PMI'll be interested to see if Memory of Felwinter stacks on top of perks that already grant an extra grenade or melee, a la gift of the sun, armamentarium, young ahamkara's spine, etc. I remember thinking Starfire Protocol would've been cool if it allowed an extra fusion on top of gift of the sun, but it didn't :( . It'd be pretty nasty to have three of something
-
EXOTIC KHVOSTOV‽
-
Nice post Toast...😏
-
Take a look at my new topic and bump please, I think it is something we need in Destiny with the introduction of ANOTHER social space. [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/210312600?sort=0&page=0]Social Space Transfer[/url]

Edited by Numero 7: 8/3/2016 2:43:48 PMExcellent post 👍
-
Hyped for 20 september but man i also gotta focus on school x)
-
I can't wait to get memory of Felwinter on my Bladedancer. Double flux nades, double escape artist for invis, shadowjack for more invis, and stalker for even more invis. Combine this with max agility and throw on the stat boost and I'll be the fastest guardian to ever grace the world of Destiny.
-
Out of all that, surprisingly, I'm excited for the artifact effects the most :o Some sound mint af.
-
Those artifacts are going to be game changing. Depending on a few though idk. ~the turning enemies into allies is for 30 seconds and is limited to "low power minions." If this means only on red healthed enemies it's going to be over looked easily. ~highlighting enemies with full super/low health. If this highlights people In a similar way to hunters do with keen scout but for all allies it will be good. If it's only for you it's going to be overlooked. ~near by allies recharge super fast. Seems like it's going to be OP as heck or underwhelming. ~rids you of your super, gain an additional nade and melee, massive stat boost, orbs recharge nades and melee. Probably going to be the most used one. If the stat boosts are not +3 or more to your armor, str, recovery it might not be worth running. At the same time this might start letting people survive golden gun again. I hope not. ~the no sprint delay is nice and all. But I don't see this being hugely beneficial for anyone unless you shotgun rush/main the universal remote. Really this should probably just be applied to the whole game. As for exotics I'm willing to bet every single new exotic armor we get is going to be the cut exotic armor that didn't make it into the taken king like it would've. i'd be really surprised if we had any actual new exotic armors. Hopefully sunsingers get buffed since an artifact directly counters them. we don't need sunsingers to be even worse. Lastly for iron lord armor I hope none of the pieces are locked behind beating hard mode once. At least the armor is unlocked account wide.
-
So do class items still have light?
-
I've been on the fence for a while with Rise of Iron, but this post turned it up to 11. If it's all official, I think I'll fork over the $30.
