destinytruthcast initial D2 thoughts from the reveal show floor w/ Mercules904 and AnonPig

So RedWingGirl1999 and I were at the D2 reveal Thursday representing bnet and we haven't had time to put together our full thoughts yet (we are recording a full episode later today), but I wanted to put this up first.
It's not a long episode and I wish I had more interviews, but I'm not really a reporter and kept forgetting I had the recorder in all the excitement of the day. It's still really cool to hear Mercules and AnonPig's first impressions after playing D2. Tried to interview Mesa Sean, but he was playing the strike and we didn't cross paths after. We also ran into Pherian and Stenbox after we left the event and had probably the best Destiny conversation ever and I didn't have my recorder.
It was really an incredible event and Bungie and Activision really went all out with it and were as gracious and accommodating as could be. I know there are a lot a different opinions on what D2 is, but I can tell you it is still very much Destiny and it is also very much a new game.
Over the course of our time there we were able to spend significant time talking Destiny 2 with Cozmo, DeeJ, Pete Parsons, Josh Hamrick, James Tsai, Say No To Rage, Mercules904, Handsomedragon, AnonPig, Pherian, Stenbox, Justin from the DadTales podcast and Justin Social from Activision as well as met many other awesome people from the community and Bungie.
We tried to get real insight into the game and represent bnet and our community here and I think we had an experience that was really unique and hopefully as cool to share with everyone as it was to experience. Anyway I hope you all enjoy this, for anyone who doesn't know them, Mercules904 (Mercules Massive Breakdowns) and AnonPig (DestinyLoreCast) are two really cool community members and it was really neat to get to interview them.

4 RepliesIt's funny how John W blamed PS4 Pro for not being able to play D2 on consoles at 60fps, when it's really Bungie's shit proprietary engine that doesn't work, and can't run correctly on the current gen. Most tvs can run at 120fps now, so 30fps is already substandard. In a year or 2 30fps will be sub-sub standard or possibly even obsolete. Too bad Bungie can't even get D2 to meet industry standards👎🏻

7 RepliesEdited by Spooky Explosion: 5/22/2017 4:25:59 PMActually quite interested in how they'll be making clans unique. If we can have custom tags or flags. Edit 1: I wonder if they'll design a rank structure too and give clan rewards for helping people through stuff.

3 RepliesEdited by Orpheus49: 5/21/2017 7:04:29 PMIt would have been great to get mesa on board. He had a lot to say about the pvp. Hes also a really cool dude. Theres a clear emphasis on pve. We can all see it. They are doing a phenominal job recreating the sandbox for more interesting strikes and raids. Which is awesome. Overall im really happy with the pve unveiling. I just wish i knew why they threw subclass customization out. Intrestingly enough. Your guests say this is now a crucible for the pvp players. When a lot of us around here are disappointed with their showing. Ill play the beta just to see what else i can say, but i know me and many others are very disappointed

2 RepliesListening to the vid as I drive from Baton Rouge to Dallas. Sols, I know you are under NDA so...juat say NDA if my questions cannot be disclosed. 1. Did Bungie elaborate on character Recustomization? 2. I remember them saying landing/going to a planet would be a longer term investment now. With outposts & etc being more crucial/integral. Did they say anything on that? Or are we once again back to 1 social space? 3. Will there be a mpre accessible/open version of Guided Games? (Aka: A real LFG that everyone can use. Not one that relies/depends/requires clans?) I am loving the focus on PVE though. They FINALLY made Zavala captivating. Ikora, Eris, Variks, & Zavala are top fav NPCs. Glad to see Zavala being displayed as the hero that he has always been.

1 ReplyEdited by TRDoug: 5/21/2017 6:51:11 PMVery excited to step into D2!! I'm glad that all the reviews coming from people who attended Thursday are saying it is very new but still feels like our home of destiny. I can honestly say I felt deep sorrow watching the missiles track into Zavala's ward of dawn! They did a fantastic job building our connections in order to instill a deep feeling of loss at the beginning of the red war........and I was only WATCHING the game play. Firing up the beta and launch in September is going to be quite the rollercoaster Bungie has had it's faults over the last three years but I'm so very excited to continue into the new year to come! PROPS TO BUNGIE! Keep it up sols and RWG!!!
