"Right as the beta started, I entered the menu screen only to deal with error messages a couple of times before it let me choose my character and begin playing. Changes were visible right from the start — I chose my character from the white colored menu, unlike the menu screen from Destiny 1. Right after, I was introduced to Destiny 2 with a cut scene showing the Red Legion, a faction of the Cabal, attack the Last City and take away the traveler’s light. With the tower being destroyed, we lose our previous weapon, forcing us to use new guns and armor starting at level 20.
Bungie confirmed Destiny 2's Crota's End Master difficulty, Checkmate Control, and increased drop rate for Essences of the Oversoul have all been delayed to Thursday. - IS
With the release of Season of the Witch, Bungie has added a tribute to the late developer who worked on both the original Destiny and Destiny 2 — Cory Barron.
This looks fun. On Tuesday, August 22, Bungie will host their annual Destiny 2 Showcase to share more details on the upcoming The Final Shape expansion, Season 22, the next reprised raid, and more. The pre-show begins at 8 AM PT on Tuesday, August 22, while the main Showcase will start at 9 AM PT.
I am always dubious of hoe legit those are as they are either paid or are often mugging for the camera so people include them in things..
I jumped in for a few hours to grind last month, but the micros are getting heavy. The excuse is that it's F2P, but It's not really a F2P game, it's more like a long demo.
to be honest the silver ecosystem exists on its own. You don't need to spend a cent in this game aside from buying the expansions. There is nothing of actual value obtained from silver. Cosmetic stuff, which is nothing new.
It isn't a F2P game it's like a long demo because 90% of the new expansions are blocked. Might as well have kept the old model. They call it F2P to give them an excuse to be obnoxious with pushing the micros.
"Just because " it's cosmetic doesn't make it not annoying and cheap looking and on top of that they are asking me to buy expansions. The only way I would pay for any of that is so I don't have to see the stupid adverts for digital products. It's a shame because I enjoy the grind in this game but I can only do it for so long before it grinds on me.
@anast - well buying expansions is nothing new for games like this. Destiny 1 had expansions as well.
Best thing is the comment section for the video. The video is typical Bungie marketing bs showing off their streamers with the nice touch of highlighting everything they stripped from Destiny 2 over the years.
Cool I stopped playing Destiny 2 after I finished the last big DlC . I will comeback bu not t until the Final Shape DlC releases in the late fall early winter.
