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.

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
