Rise of Iron - Expansion

Wolfpack rounds seems like an apt perk for an Iron banner based weapon.

Yeah, but if it is a Y2 version, they really need to adjust something, as they don't want a repeat of the original Y1 version, as it was slightly game breaking, as Mitch says. If they don't remove the wolfpack rounds perk, then reduce the number of rounds, or don't have them tracking, so the main rocket tracks the target but not the wolfpack rounds.

They made it a point to highlight that it's back. I'd be surprised if it was just a Y1 reskin. Why go to all the trouble? It'll be a Y2 lvl version, though I'd guess without the Wolfpack rounds, or at the very least nowhere near as many, and/or as powerful. I doubt it will be the same God Weapon it was in Y1, it'll just be another viable option.

Every other pre-order pack has given you weapons that were useless within 2 hours.

I'd imagine it will perform exactly the same as the G-Horn but will be a different skin (kind of like the sword from the Introduce a friend quest).

I mean if you already have a Year 1 G-Horn, when this pack comes out, you will (assuming nothing changes from a QoL perspective) be able to just walk over to the Kiosk and Buy the newest (Year 3?) version anyhow.

I don't see this being the end of the world. I would imagine 90% of players who like Destiny will pre-order the DLC anyway based on the The Taken Kings success (content, review and depth of hours gameplay wise) so everyone will have one.

Sure, maybe we'll find out in like 7 hours anyhow with a bit of luck

It's not a real penis though it's a statue. How can it be NSFW?!

Tone the damage down slightly on the main Rocket and a good bit on the Wolfpack Rounds and leave everything else as is.

I think at the very least you'll get it at a crappy LL and need to infuse it, it's also possible you'll have to buy it from a vendor like the other pre-order weapon packs. Either way, there's no way in hell it's just a re-skinned Y1 weapon imo but I think it will be heavily nerfed compared to the original.

Ah yeah, I can't imagine many, if any, from here NOT pre-ordering, regardless of any sort of bonuses.

As soon as that pre-order button goes live, I'm pushing it.

It wouldn't surprise me if year that Iron Gjallahorn is just a skin for the exotic and it stays at Year 1 light levels or something.

Meaning it's not a "Pay-to-win" type thing. Anyway that's what I would hope. That it's merely a skin

Imagine it was just a skin the Reddit rage would be of Ragnarok proportions.

Datto would probably turn into a black hole live on twitch - "I'm not angry just disappointed"

If you look back at the image wex posted, it states that you'll need to complete a mission in order to attain the weapon. This point's to it being a Y2/3 version, though it may not be an Exotic.

I'd be more excited to see Reddit in Full melt down than I would be to claim my medium-powered silver rocket launcher :pac:

Anyway, I'm just waxing lyrical. Generally all Pre-order and Exclusive stuff (Red Bull Introduce a Friend) has been functionally "meh".

I mean if I remember correctly the Red Bull Sparrow as like 5% better than most sparrows, so that helped in SRL. But that was it

And that anger being fueled even more by Broman explaining why it's not a bad thing that it's just a re-skin either.

Out of interest can you mark spoilers and NSFW tags on mobile, never could figure that bit out.

Generic Dreadhead

Anyway

I hope the new Raid is good and the new Social Space is nice.

I was thinking last night, that if they are leaving last gen behind, it will be so we can possibly have the following:

• More than 12 players in Crucible at once
• The new Plaguelands area is a seamlessly integrated large open world space without the need to go into "loading areas"
• More Vault space
• Better character UI and inventory and more control options maybe (Hold Down on the D pad to consume heavy synth etc)
• Wanting to kind of "Trial run" the "new engine" so that if they intend to use is for a Full Destiny 2, that the whole thing won't go tits up
• More Variks
• Less bugs (sound cut out due to particle effects etc)

After makes a video asking if he should be angry or happy.

I like his fact based stuff.
But man his opinion pieces he's got less of a spine than a snake lol,
Was watching a twitch stream with him and the guy from planet destiny before and he changed stance on an argument 3 times based of twitch chat

From the video it looks like the riad is gonna be up against a gigantic Robot/Ship type thing with a tonne of guns

You can but you have to type out the code so it's a pain. A spoiler would be

Jon Snow is Keyser Soze [ /spoiler] (without the spaces inside the brackets) and linking an image as NSFW would be NSFW[ /URL] (again without the spaces).

Did Last Gen hold back Private Matches from Destiny cause of techy reasons?

I'm not saying that they did.

I'm just asking questions

The new enemy race looks like fallen on stilts, I appreciate the new area wont be just a rehash of the cosmodrome but it will no doubt still have the same vibe to it really wish we could have gotten some new planets. In any case, ill wait till the twitch stream (assuming they show some in game stuff) to board the hype train.

I'd take private games over any new maps, there are 26 already...

Clan 1 v Clan 2 v Clan 3
Clan only Rumble

Think of all the spreadsheets and tables we could create to keep track of who are the Top Guns in each clan and from there a Monthly Rumble between each clans top 2 for the prized postion of Alpha Gun.

Doubt there will be any more subclasses or many weapons, I'm sure that's all being saved for D2...

I has wolves painted on the side.

I mean that counts as Lore in the game at this stage :P

I hope there are no more classes / subclasses. 9 is enough. More would just be a balancing and exploit prevention issue.

They brought back the Gjallarhron . Maybe we will see Ice Breaker, and the Vex come back.

The expansion looks interesting, and a new raid will be welcome. Wonder will it be as big as the Taken King.

I have a strange feeling the raid itself will be bigger than TTK

Leaks indicate a 14 gb size download so smaller than ttk.

But who knows what elements they will be able to reuse from what's there already etc so. It's all speculation

Well isnt this suppose to be what was been built around the time of HoW? If so a large portion of it is already installed on our systems

In one of Kotaku's articles they say that the new raid was built from scratch and not the HoW one.

Well if Jason Schreier says it, i'm inclined to believe it

As an Xbox user looking forward aswell to finally getting some of the TTK ps exclusive stuff, echo chamber strike/armour. Wonder if the latest stuff will still be locked, like the zen menteor (if its a year wait for that sure we'll be almost in Destiny 2).

Hoping aswell ROI is still considered year 2, hate to have to give up my red spectre
