Destiny

This should be a gift link.

Not surprising at all when you plan to stop supporting one of the two live games you’re making.

After several rounds of mass layoffs I hope Bungie leadership never gets work again.

Saw this coming when Bungie announced Marathon right after Lightfall all but killed Destiny 2. It was clear at that moment they were sick of working on Destiny and all the talent had moved to Marathon.

This is just kind of insulting after they repeatedly tried to reassure players that D2 was continuing and that new content was coming only to put everything in Marathon and realize they were sick of Destiny.

By all accounts Marathon is a good game, but I don't see it carrying Bungie while they make something new. It's player counts aren't that high and Sony just had to write off a monetary loss on purchasing Bungie.

Think it would be a good idea to keep this community active enough, not sure how difficult that would be to implement though.

Man anyone else just super tired of locked loadouts? Every.single.activity...

Looks cool but IDK if it's enough to bring me back to D2.

Pros:

• I dig the look of the syndicates. Vex wearing clothes is funny.
• The Star Wars stuff is less overwhelming than I thought it would be.
• Customizable lightsabers
• They put Helldivers in Destiny
• Back to Mars

Cons:

• It's more Destiny with slightly different activities and set dressing.

Pinning this thread for the next few weeks for Edge of Fate discussion. Spoilers are allowed here so browse at your own risk.

I haven't been keeping up with pre-release Edge of Fate stuff but Datto and other content creators went to a preview event recently and just posted their videos yesterday. Here's a few from Datto that explain some of the stuff changing and what's new in Edge of Fate.

Edge of Fate Exotic Weapons

Meta stuff is fine but I enjoy creative and unique rolls and loadouts in this game. Find anything that floats yer boat? Show us what you got.

I’ve been busy with life so haven’t been able to play or farm as much as I’d like. Hopefully I can next week and when all three dungeons become available.

Posting this to show how much Star Wars they're trying to cram into this.

Highlights:

• Emissary of the Nine frees herself from their control?
• Beginning of "The Fate Saga" which will span multiple years. Content announced through the end of 2027 at least.
• First expansion is "Edge of Fate" second is "Renegades"
• New guardian character Lodai seems to be important to the story.
• New location is Kepler, a large object in the Oort Cloud that is covered in dark matter.
• Guardians infuse their light and dark powers with dark mater to create new abilities.
• Showcase ability is Matterspark, which turns your guardian into a ball of Arc energy that functions identically to the Morph Ball in Metroid Prime.
• There are some attacks and abilities tied to Matterspark
• Some gameplay of manipulating the landscape to create paths for you to travel to as a Matterspark.
• Sounds like you'll need to go to specific points on the map to activate Matterspark.
• New enemies added to factions. We see some Jetpack Fallen called corsairs and some new suicide vex drones I didn't catch the name of.
• House of Exile Fallen are on Kepler, Vex are also on Kepler.
• World Tiers increase difficulty and open up new options for completing missions/objectives.
• There's a highly customizable difficulty setting for activities. TBH I couldn't really pay attention to this.
• Armor 3.0 allows stats to go over 100, energy all unlocked at start but can go above 10 slots, gear set bonuses (finally).
• Guns also have tiers up to 5 so far. Showing guns with EVERY perk as enhanced and up to 3 per column.
• Tier 5 weapons have special cosmetics.
• Firing range with summonable enemies is FINALLY added to the tower.
• New Portal screen that Replaces the Director, supposed to make it easier to get into content quicker.
• Can now hit the power cap entirely playing Crucible.
• Content roadmap shown. Two expansions per year. One Major update between Expansions? (I'll have to try and find this to confirm.)
• We are returning to the Plaguelands in this year's major update "Ash and Iron". Not clear if we're getting that level of update each time.
• New Raid on July 19th. No other details.
• No Land Beyond returns as "New Land Beyond". Available as a pre-order bonus now.
• Renegades is explicitly Star Wars themed. We get Han Solo's Blaster and a lightsaber.
• Additional Pre-Order bonuses include a Kylo Ren set for Warlocks, Darth Vader set for Titans, and General Grevious set for Hunters. Along with an, EoF Emote, Ghost, and Emblem.
• Rites of the Nine launches today and acts as the intro to Edge of Fate.

I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff I forgot to mention so I encourage everyone to watch the stream. I'll try to post more info as it becomes available.
