So, user. Have you preordered destiny 2 yet?
People have been complaining it has only 5 strikes, but think about it seriously. If destiny follows their new philosophy of givving you alternate encounters with strikes, that's 2 versions of each strike, that makes 10 strikes. And with heroic strikes, that makes 20 strikes. And with nightfalls that makes a total of 30 strikes, and with a new prestige difficulty for nightfalls called prestige, that's like having 40 strikes in total.
That's 40 potential strikes you could be playing for countless hours of fun.
On top of that there are 17 story missions and they are REPLAYABLE, that's right user, you can play them again and again, making it basically an infinite number of story missions.
With that much content, how could you afford NOT to get Destiny 2?
So make sure you pre-order now a digital deluxe edition at gamestop for your bonus kill-tracker ghost, salute emote, and cold heart linear beam exotic rifle.
And pick up some poptarts for an exclusive Destiny 2 sparrow, and Destiny 2 marked cans of rockstar energy for a chance of getting UP TO THREE engrams a week. That's all the loot you'll ever need Guardian :) lolol right internet friendster? And you can even with a radical motocross motorcycle bike as a grand prize.

>Even mentioning DLC when the game isn't even out yet Pathetic. I'd expect no less from Bungie at this point
Liam Nelson
This better not be all the damn exotics in the base game
Elijah Johnson
game was supposed to launch with 10 strikes, there is no reason to be surprised if activision told them to take 5 and put them in dlcs. and the game was probably finished 6 months ago, giving them time to start working on the rest of the dlcs that should have been in the base game.
Jack Parker
Daily reminder you must go through the story mode first alone only upon completion can you go back with a fireteam and this is perfect! Bravo bungie don't listen to haters. No one wanted to experience the story with friends initially if you whine about this you are entitled.
Benjamin Wood
You'd think they'd double up on cabal strikes instead of vex or something
Also, are three of the four zones some form of temperate forest? D1 had more variety
Gavin Brown
Only definite that tells you is that you can replay missions once you've cleared the campaign. Literally says nothing about having to do it solo/not being able to group. Just wait a couple days and you'll no for certain, not worth the effort stressing over it until you know for certain.
Jackson James
6 strikes for playstation owners
Eli Scott
Wow it says there clear as day you can't do the missions with friends without completing them wow I mean i'm not mad Bungie is perfect but just wow.
>are three of the four zones some form of temperate forest? No? Nessus seems to be like a rainforest type area. EDZ seems to be mostly ruins of an old city. Titan is an ocean rig type of structure, and Io is a mountainous wetland type area.
I can't fucking wait for Destiny 2! It's gonna be SWEEEEEEEET!
Landon Adams
I just feel that with the exception of titan, these zones seem more homogenous than D1. Granted, we haven't seen a lot of io, but each of the zones in D1 was a very distinct environment.
Well I like playing with friends and that was the best part of Destiny 1 but on the flip side Bungie is infallible so looks like good news. I mean it must be right? It's Bungie.
Grayson Hughes
Io looks like its gonna turn out to be mostly vex geometric interor fuckery.
Levi Sanchez
Oy vey you can trust me Goyim! I have the star of David on my chest! Buy my processed sugar carb patties!
Jonathan Flores
i hope you at least get paid for samefagging this much. 3 unique users in the thread, one of them is me.

Refresh your page new friend it's more than 3.
Samuel James
Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars.
Jacob Diaz
fuck off nigga
Joseph Flores
>playing a strike on a higher difficulty counts as a whole new strike
Oliver Foster
Yeah duh totally bro. Its a different mode and you like totally play i differently its real radical dude, you should definitely preorder Destiny 2 Deluxe Edition and give it a try.
Logan Harris
So anyone else liking their Destiny preorder bonuses? I think they're great, you should definetly preorder guys!
Jose Hernandez
And Nessus, from what we've seen, already has a lot of that vex shit
Landon Morgan
Nobody forgot, discord just kills posting in threads so it's ignored
Josiah Morgan
oh ok
Oliver Cruz
Who's this Bonerlord faggot in the PS4 clan? He's more toxic than Matt.
Ryan Murphy
reminder till launch: >guide is missing Factions >guide is missing Faction Gear >4v4 all modes at launch >still nothing about dupes
aside from the strike count, faggy locking of gamemodes into separate matchmaking algorithms, hiding friends and clan members that are available online but on different regions, 4v4 all modes at launch, locking legendary armor sets into specific frames, weapon mods doing nothing on kinetics, around par amount of exotic armors and around par amount of exotic weapons, game will be OK at launch if they included Factions and all their gear
Hunter Roberts
That Rat King sidearm tho
Joseph Cruz
>$0.25 have been deposited into your account
David Bailey
discords are always better than threads so i welcome it as long as you ban the obvious niggers and discord stuff doesnt leak into threads desu
Juan Foster
If I get the deluxe edition that includes the Expansion, will the DLC be included up to Expansion 2 I suppose?
Robert Ramirez
No, they are not. And this isn't an argument about opinion. It's a fact. The whole point is anonymity which is not possible in a Discord. The thread is superior to the discord in every conceivable way. The only places a thread falls short is where a party chat comes in.
Nicholas Russell
end your life you fucking retard
Isaiah Powell
kek
Mason Williams
I preordered the Destiny™ 2 Collectors Edition as soon as it was available!
Caleb Rivera
>love the image of a titan >cant replicate it in other rpgs >no 4th sub class as kinetic suffering
Connor Rivera
How long until we have teams of 4 guardians all using rat king in pvp?
James Wright
you first you anti social fucking loser
ye i can understand that
i just like a constant vc for game discussion and raids
Justin Baker
>it will be viable since the maps are small
Kayden Watson
On PC, hand cannons were the meta and team shoting was very important. so if rat king is a good weapon even without the proximity buffs, I could actually see teams doing this
Isaac Roberts
Just need to be ready for the other team to spam supers.
Jack Edwards
...
Grayson Sanchez
And now you can see when opponents have super AND there are less supers per match. If all the maps are relatively small I actually see quad rat king being a thing
Discords create "in" crowds, which then divide general threads that are supposed to be used by a group of anonymous folk. Then if anything goes wrong between two or more people on the Discord, the general then gets poisoned by that shit because it's the only place people can post anonymously again, because they were retarded enough to throw away the anonymous factor by joining a Discord in the first place, so they come to the General to spread their shit and fuck up the General even further.
Discord was a mistake.
Robert Morgan
You could always see when enemies had super. It's just more visible now
Easton Stewart
The same applies to generals, really. Generals have been one of the worst things for Veeky Forums since it creates pocket microcommunities that see themselves as an exception to others, with minor e-celebs and the like. Then you get spergouts where people decide to trash the board or other generals.
Even on boards like /a/, people identfy each other in their notgenerals by posting style, filenames, etc.
Generals were a mistake, but here we are. Discord just further distills that.
Julian Allen
I can see the need for general though, especially with board thread limits. You have a game that has threads made, bumped to limit, then remade discussing the same content over and over. Sometimes its new, but for older games there is only so much to talk about, it chokes out other threads, sometimes before people get a chance to refresh the catalogue. In that regard, I can see the need for a separate board for generals, which is better than banning them outright.
Jackson Kelly
Hey guys e-celeb here
Dylan Cox
Yea, I don't disagree with them entirely. In some contexts, they can be handy and it's more of a problem with the userbase than the format itself. I'd love to talk about it more, but it's not really the time for it, and I have to make moves.
Colton Long
I'd be surprised if greens are rares actually drop up to that
Nicholas Garcia
I miss Dragon's Dogma General. =_( If any of you are here, I hope you are doing well and having fun you magnificent bastards.
Thomas Martin
While I'm normally not one to spoil myself with leaks and datamines I'm glad to see the third classes are in the base game (even though sunbreaker titans got a little tedious to fight in the crucible)
Logan Flores
CLANG
John Clark
>Who's this Bonerlord faggot in the PS4 clan? He's more toxic than Matt. Redpill me, he's in the PC clan, but hasn't said a word there.
Jaxson Martinez
I want to go full Space Deus Vult on the cabal. Its a small dream, but its my dream.
Dominic Wilson
increase clans to 150
William Miller
honestly, bringing back alliances would be better; have friend roster, clan roster, clan alliance roster and limit the amount of alliances you can make to 2 - 3 clans
Cameron Powell
Or let you be in multiple clans. Like, make one your primary clan where your deeds and accomplishments would increase only that clans rank, and make the others for grouping purposes only. Maybe give you the option to select different clans as the primary clan on each of your characters.
Nathan Lee
that's ok too
Anthony Edwards
>bought destiny 2 with paypal >check today it got refunded >0.01 in my paypal
Well lads. It was nice shit posting with you.
Kevin Bennett
>pyramideon was a cut taken king raid >now it's a strike
I'm mad as fuck
Ian Taylor
>5 strikes
James Long
That's not what this says. It's the same as Destiny 1 in this regard. 3 man fireteams for most pve activities, including campaign missions, unless the mission itself has a 1 player restriction.
Benjamin Sullivan
They put all of their chips in the EDZ, eh?
Wyatt Nguyen
The reason faction gear isn't listed is because it's just a reskin of the regular unbranded legendary end game gear. Same as Destiny 1. You level up the factions the same way as the overseers. Gain tokens or planetary mats, turn them in.
Mason Myers
I got the deluxe edition, FUCK IT I just want to be comfy!
Andrew Cook
Louisiana Pin dispatched when.
Tyler Campbell
Just started a sorc right now motherfucker
Dominic Diaz
Titan and Io are both tiny spaces about half the size of the the EDZ or Nessus.
Ryder King
Says who? Weren't all of the d1 locals roughly the same size, with the cosmodrome being the biggest
Michael Bell
Thank you for funding SpaceX
Ryder Martin
Honest question, is Destiny 2 worth buying? I never played the first one, but 2 being on PC has my attention.
I get that there were/are flaws, but is it at least fun to run around and shoot shit with friends?
Daniel Miller
Launches in a couple days on console, another month and a half for PC, so you have plenty of time to read reactions and make a decision.
Zachary Cruz
6 strikes with 2 variations each
I wonder what they mean by variation
Nathaniel Diaz
>2 variations each
Source or fuck off.
Bentley Ross
>another month and a half for PC That's what I get for not researching, I thought it was a same day launch. Thanks.
Jaxon Hughes
while activision and bungie developed/made the game they decided to outsource the peer to peer coding to another company, and are making other tweaks for PC, so that is for the delay. once its released though all future patches/dlc/expansions will release at the same time across all platforms.
Cameron Reed
Warlocks and Titans are friends, right?
We both hate useless hunters, right?
Also is there a version of this gif for each subclass?
Dominic Myers
>tfw need to wait till end of october m-master race...
Aiden Martinez
>you first you anti social fucking loser at least I'm not the retard who's into discordfaggotrie
>i just like a constant vc for game discussion and raids are you retarded or just pretending to be? discord is a cesspool full of degenerates who are attention whoring and try to create some drama look at wowg and other generals you fucking idiot
if you want to have a good discussion about the game talk in the fucking thread
Ayden Brown
We're going to be even bigger friends in 2. >Rally Barricade + Empowering Rift
Anthony Hill
In the guide book, it mentions some encounters will have different enemy types and explicitly uses the word "variation." So basically, on a vex strike, there might be fallen in one encounter, or in the hive strike, some of the crystals are in a different place
Nothing really significant changes
Elijah Roberts
>friends who played destiny 1 already called dibs on warlock and titan like they had in 1 >stuck with hunter if want a perfect circle at least i like revolvers
Jaxson Young
>rally barricade + healing + empowering rifts
Easton Smith
anyone got the hunter *autistic dodging* with titan and warlock shaking hands picture?

I wonder if the NS tree has a useful team perk other than Shadow Shot.
