Yeah, everything in the videos looks kind of... unadorned. Maybe because it's natural to compare it to the ornate Destiny 1 endgame stuff, but lots of the guns look smooth and boxy as well as the armor stuff already noted. Maybe everyone's playing with blues?

Hunter had capes, hoodies. Has hunter you can look like a prince or hobo cyber rogue. Titans have.. that rear end towell you loot from year 1 raid.

My other post is dumb, so I will add some nuance.

You can look awesome with a Titan, but most of the time (leveling, with random gear) you look like a clown. And the gear that make you look may have bad stats more often than not.

I think I was more excited for "Destiny 2: pretty much just Destiny 1 with maybe a few fixes" than what we actually got yesterday.

Titans are ugly, don't like the new subclasses changes, took away skating, nerfed lightning grenades, 4 v 4 pvp, new weapon categorizing etc it's all kinda disappointing isn't it

The 4v4 change reads to me that Bungie really wants the crucible to play more like Halo and to have more of an emphasis on making Destiny esports compatible (lol).

I like it all because it's new and wildly different while still being unmistakably DESTINY. We will have to learn everything again while still being able to use the past as reference, which makes it less a different thing than it is but an overhaul.

Idk, I confess to making a conscious choice to be anywhere from copacetic to happy about D2 and its specifics by force of will, but I genuinely feel like they're finally capable of delivering the game they wanted three years ago and that's more reason to exert trust than to doubt for what's being left behind.

Agreed, all the people who got to play said the gun feel was the same which is the most important thing for me. The PVE stuff seems to be greatly improved, especially with the story. The in game lfg seems cool too, I normally raid with goons but finding six people can be a pain in the rear end at times. The changes to pvp will cause salt but everything in pvp causes salt so whatever.

I think he meant a clause in one of the leaked Activision contracts approving a project that had something to do with the Marathon IP. I don't think there have been any public announcements ever traced back to that.

This is about PC, but it sounds like tick rate and netcode (still) aren’t a major priority from my pessimistic reading.
An even more categorical answer:

quote:

IGN: "Crucible tech, specifically Trials of Osiris, you guys know that is one of your premier multiplayer modes. Are we getting dedicated servers?"

Mark Noseworthy: "We are not getting dedicated servers."

IGN: "RIP the dream. Why?"

*long pause of silence*

Luke Smith: "It's just not an investment that we made for Destiny 2, like the uh... I understand there's certainly a desire for it. You know, the smaller team format, although it's one person bigger in the Trials case for sure here, in the smaller team format in general it's easier for us to find tighter matches. And we're also going to rechange the parameters for matchmaking, to refocus on connection quality instead of like Trials win matching. WE're gonna like change the, we're going to change a bunch of parameters to focus on giving people a better network experience."

Yeah there's definitely an esports angle here, which makes sense given they weren't trying for that the first go round and still somehow managed to loving trip over their own feet into a game that the community was dying to make competitive. The acquiescence to private matches was the first evidence of that.

I'm not really sure how this is compatible with their p2p setup but I'm expecting some additional announcements on ladders and seasons.

Bungie going after esports again seems like a bad idea as it was a giant tire fire when they attempted it in Halo.. it basically chased off everyone who played the game for fun because there was no way to escape the competitive setup.
