A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

Did you see the screenshot of the Jagme?

All the screenshots I saw only had the power slot highlighted with a power ammo brick, so I'm not sure if it's weapon or slot specific, or if they've discussed how ammo works if it's weapon specific.

Was excited about the annual pass and what Bungie showed off today until I saw the $70 price tag for the new content. Yikes.

With the way Items are framed, I think items will now go in any slot but the slots are controlled by the kind of brick you use to fill it.

It might be that putting a shotgun in the kinetic will make kinetic bricks rarer.

Here's to the new us.
Any of the annual pass content won't be released till a few months after Forsaken so that'll be plenty of time to decide whether or not you like D2 now and want to spend 30 more bucks.

The Foresaken expansion coming out in September is $40, the other expansions coming out next year cost extra. Hence the annual pass that includes them. Anyone who thinks they won't be required is being dense as gently caress.

The problem is that at $40 it's going to be only 75% of the quality of D2, which was $60, and thus even worse

If you consider it to be $70 then it is actually 16.7% more content than Destiny 2 the $60 product, but the content was bad and so it is 16.7% more bad

The people being dense are the ones who are saying you have to drop $70 up front.

In September they're selling the meat and potatoes for $40. If after a couple of months you want to keep up with their seasonal end game content, it's $30.

$70 dollars for a year's worth of video game playing. Welcome to Activision.

if they're like any other company, the "small" packages will cost more as a non-season pass, so if you do it your way you're going to be paying even more

for a grand total of 8 hours of content in a game people still attempt to call an MMO

30 dollars is the cost of the non-forsaken content, which we have literally zero idea about beyond the fact 'it will exist', what it's called, and that it will cost 30 dollars.

if you start selling magazine subscriptions now maybe you'll scrounge up 30 dollars by winter, the first time ownership of the season pass will matter.

This is literally how the Destiny payment model has worked since the first game how are people still shocked by this.

Like, I remember pre-release people explaining that it wasn't a monthly subscription but you had to buy the DLCs to keep up. Were people expecting WoW-style content patches or something?

PlayStation 4 exclusives for Forsaken are kinda sorta out:

quote:

At launch, PlayStation® gamers will get access to the following timed exclusive content*: a strike, one gear set per class, a new ship and an exotic weapon. At Destiny 2: Forsaken’s launch, the previously released Destiny 2 launch timed exclusives will be made available for all platforms.

*Timed exclusives until at least Fall 2019

Oh and it was announced that all previous exclusive launch DLC would be made available to all platforms too when Foreskin comes out.

I've heard two separate mentions that weapons will use their intended ammo. Hopefully not the case because that would be stupid.
