Haven't forgotten about this. GPU prices are fluctuating a lot and Nvidia have dropped a 1070ti onto the market. I did a quick build and compared it with some custom PC builders in the UK and it's amazing what you can get built for a similar price. I may ask you some questions this week so I can be as useful as possible. No laptops allowed though. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Deej has confirmed there won't be a Festival of the Lost for the first time in any Destiny year. I'm not bothered about it, it was only a few masks for fun and what they seem to be working on for Season 2 (The Dawning) looks promising as we'll have new armour and guns for the first time in regular dropped content. This game will turn around and I think it's naive to blow the game off this early.

We managed to nail the Prestige nightfall on our second attempt. Ot was really fun tbh, modifiers are pretty good ones. @Amnotright, @Diddums and myself found the beams of light took the most time away, mistiming jumps and wiping back to the start of the beams. 18 seconds left on the clock. Pulse grenades were a godsend. Also took @LordBaguette through a nightfall before reset day.

Okay. So some decent news to come but If i'm honest, most people I see here may not think its great news because its not coming quickly and there wasn't mention of endgame content. They'll get hammered to bring Ice Hockey to the tower and not releasing new missions. Summary Torch has been passed from team who made Destiny 2 to the team that is maintaining it aka the Live Team. Live Team's goals: New reasons to keep playing New pursuites, rituals, and challenges. And more.. Examples: Iron Banner, Faction Rally's, etc. Expansion 1 - Winter 2017 aka Osiris DLC Destiny 2 year 1: 4 seasons total. All About Seasons Seasons have themes associated with them. They take feedback from the community for adding and adjusting things such as new emotes, rewards, etc. Season Goals: More predictable time tables (what to expect and when) Destiny 2 year 1: 4 seasons Make big changes to the game Sandbox tuning, new features, more content Big patches to change the meta, etc. Meant so you don't feel like you have to play Destiny ALL the time but instead can take at your pace and show up for important events. Season 2: When: Winter 2017 The Dawning will make a return shortly after the launch of Season 2. Ice Hockey will be enabled You can have snowball fights, plus other Easter Eggs Event affects will be throughout the world, not just the social space. Armor, Weapons, Shaders, and possibly emotes will come Iron Banner - What Bungie Learned: 1,500 YEARS worth of time played between all guardians. Learned how we interacted with the loot system. There will be changes to loot such as letting us direct purchase guns using tokens and legendary shards. The token economy is not always the best way for everything. For Season 2, there will be an ornaments slot requiring an objective to unlock to show that you completed a limited event objective. Such as winning 10 IB matches, Flawless in Trials of The Nine, etc Heard community feedback of wanting rewards more meaningful. One more Iron Banner in Season 1. Some new gear Perks and stats will be updated. There will be a matching energy and kinetic weapon so you can have one of each. Trials of The Nine There will be ornaments as well, not shown yet but "They look really cool" Updated weapons, both visual look and perks Faction Rally Data was tallied cross-platform. One more in Season 1 Screenshot For Season 2 there will be changes to promote playing with a fireteam more vs just solo. Meaning "I'm going to solo farm this as it's more efficient" won't always be the thing. This does NOT mean a nerf to solo, but rather a buff to fireteam aspects so that you can play with your friends instead of splitting off doing your own individual thing. Season 2 Facton Rally Faction Rally Armor can be earned by just playing and repping your faction. Dead Orbit NM FWC Weapons Clarion Call: When: Before end of Season 1 What: Double XP while playing activities with your Fireteam Pilot: Clan collaboration required Screenshot Bright Engrams All the emotes, and other rewards from it will be updated and changed Certain rewards from Bright Engrams will be retired making them limited/exclusive and not able to collect anymore, but if you already have it them you can keep it. New Mic Drop emote (thanks /u/Mblim771_Kyle) Fun Fact: Bungie has a recording studio that they record the emotes. New transmat effects will be available Exotic Ships Season 1 Season 2 - The Dawning Season 2 Example 1 Season 2 Example 2 Exotic Sparrows Season 1 Season 2 Example 1 Season 2 Example 2 Ghosts Example 1 Example 2 - Rotating the ghost causes a solar system effect to rotate behind it Example 3 Example 4 - Dawning Exclusive Shaders Shaders stay season over season (Unless Bungie adjusts down the line, no plays at the moment) They heard our feedback over deleting shaders in mass - On the to do list, no promises. Armor Changes in bright engrams when season changes New armor with new seasons Crucible Maps When certain rituals complete special maps goes live to entire circulation - Example Such as the Trials of Nine map (Eternity), Raid themed map (Emperor's Respite), Shores of Time (Destiny 1) themed map (Distant Shore), etc. Sandbox Tuning What is the sandbox? The playable space. Diagnosing the Meta - Data view They have data on basically everything you do such as most played subclass, weapon, what bullets fired from what weapon, usage of basically everything in game. They are always collecting, analysing, and using the data. With seasons they hope to make more ongoing adjustments to allow the meta to constantly adjust and not be stale. Clans Clans have a max level so that smaller clans have a chance vs only larger more active clans to dominate. Keeps everything on a more fair level. Clan rank resets at Season 2, as well as all season changes New perks to earn, targeted at what the game goals are (based on the Season themes) Clan rewards You can change the staff/bar in the middle based on clan rewards from seasons. Clan engram updates Make sure loot pool updates More Info Bungie will be at Paris Games Week next week https://Twitch.tv/Bungie will be going live soonTM with more info
