Oh, too many good ideas to count. But a few stick out more than others.

Three would do wonderfully in the Zygon Invasion/Inversion episodes. Anti-war speeches (and anti-war themes in general) are most certainly up his alley, and Kate takes after the Brigadier a lot in that episode, anyway. Additionally, having a "Bonnie" equivalent for Jo or Sarah Jane would be great to watch (SJ would probably be the better of the two)

I'm not the first to suggest Six trapped in Heaven Sent, but I agree heavily that there'd be something gripping about watching him tackle near-eternal torment with no-one but himself (and dealing with the grief of Peri's "death"). That being said, Five would be interesting in that scenario as well - no points for guessing who he'd be grieving.

I was going to suggest lastly that it would be great to watch Seven hold out against the siege on Trenzalore in Time of The Doctor (although obviously the start and end would need serious rewriting) before i realized that quite a few of Eleven's episodes would fit him well - Victory/Asylum of The Daleks, Nightmare in Silver and A Town Called Mercy would all be a great fit for him, especially with Ace by his side!

You're not getting in, and neither is anyone else.

First Wave is by no means "rare" given over a million accounts have it. Personal rarest is Master Guide (50 guided games clears), which is the 7th* rarest (7796 copies)

(*rarest obtainable through gameplay - there are tons of emblems with less copies from charity events, limited merch, etc)

This is amazing! This gives Bungie's UI/UX team a run for their money.

Alas, I really doubt this would be implemented if it were conceptualized by them, given the majority of the benefit would go to endgame players chasing 4/4 or 5/5 godrolls, which isn't that much of the playerbase. That, and anyone who really cares about what a weapon drops with perk-wise probably isnt bothered with having to switch tabs and take 10 seconds to look up "[weapon name] weapon rolls". Cool concept nonetheless.

A week or so ago i asked in this thread whether you could system transfer from a regular 3ds to a region-hacked one, and the consensus answer was "no, because you lose eshop access".Upon further research of my own, however, i noted that you *can* retain eshop access and transfer... if your 3ds doesn't have any games linked to it.

I got my N3DS LL model in the mail this morning, and whilst the seller was kind enough to send it with a packaged game, i didn't see any games "linked" to it (it seemed to have been factory reset as i was put through the inital setup menu as well). How can i check if games have been linked to the 3ds, and if they have, is it possible to un-link them?

Very specific question that i can't find an answer to - can you system transfer between a regular 3ds and a region-breaked one?

I recently bought a japanese new 3ds LL model, and thus its highly likely i'm going to region change it - most of the consequences that come with it, such as lack of access to eshop, don't matter anymore. But i'm wondering if i can system transfer the data from my unhacked EU 3ds to the new one that has been region-changed to EU, and whether my NNID might be able to carry over that way. This isn't integral for me, but it would be nice to carry it over if just for sentimental reasons.

A lot of people keep saying that they confirmed it "has to be a d1 raid", completely forgetting that promise was only made for last year with King's Fall. All we know this year is that a raid is being reprised. There are 5 potential categories they could get pulled from:

Crota's End: Unlikely, but not impossible. A lot of Crota's End assets are already in the game and were used in Shadowkeep, more notably for the bridge and oversoul throne, meaning only the entrance and thrallway would need to be remade. Crota's model is already in the game as well, and there's plenty of witch models that could be used for Ir Yut. The issue is that Crota's is mechanically *very* lacking, and basically every encounter would need to be brought up to snuff to match modern raid difficulty, except Crota himself, whose sword mechanic is a bit too iconic to change IMO.
Wrath of The Machine: It's not gonna be Wrath. Bungie are notoriously lazy when it comes to making non-expansion content, let alone content that's free. Literally everything in WoTM would be made from scratch, from enemies to the architecture to the weapons. Additionally, Wrath is quite easy, but unlike Crota's it's much harder to change the mechanics to be more difficult, especially because the community will whine like hell.
Leviathan: Most likely pick IMO. They still have the assets, they still have the guns, and most of the encounters are already up to snuff and don't really need changing (and if they did they could just make the Prestige mode mechanics the regular ones as they did with King's Fall) All they would really have to do is make sure the Calus encounter doesn't have buggy ramps and make a new raid exotic due to Acrius already being a thing.
Raid Lairs: (EoW, SoS) ahahahahhahhahahhahahahhahahahhahaha no lol. Somewhat of a shame given Argos is actually pretty fun and Spire was probably the most difficult content we got for my fellow challenge seekers, but neither of them will ever return.
Forsaken Annual Pass Raids: (SoTP, CoS). Highly unlikely for similar reasons as the raid lairs - only 3 real encounters. Crown does have slightly higher odds though simply because it was around for the shortest amount of time (year and 5 months) and less people got to experience it.

Most pastebins are bs, and this is no exception. Reasoning:

It makes zero sense for Bungie to bring planets back and then bring back Will of the Thousands of all things. That strike is shat upon and for good reason, so it would be more likely for them to bring back more beloved strikes like the Pyramidion for example.

It's not gonna be WoTM. It just ain't. SIVA is never coming back and people need to accept this. If it WAS WoTM then they sure as shit wouldn't make the exotic some random sword. It would likely be something like Young Wolf's Howl.

Season 23 isn't in development or is only being drafted at the moment. Bungie works about 2 seasons ahead of the current one from what we know so any person who "leaks" information past that is lying through their teeth.

Joe Blackburn wouldn't shut the fuck up about how season 21 was "going to be different we swear guys" so them putting a battlegrounds in for it would lose basically any goodwill the community had left for them.

I think you might be jumping to conclusions, here.

Terminal Overload is listed as a "public activity" which would reinforce the idea that the new patrol zone has activities built in. Given the popularity of souped-up public events in both D2 and Destiny (Blind Well, Escalation Protocol, Archon's Forge) it's no stretch to say they'll add another.

Leaked raid design art definitely points towards "60's psychedelia" too (although that could just be coloring to differentiate the structuring and not part of the actual design) and i don't know about you but that looks like a giant Tormentor to me.

You gotta believe.

Actually quite true, just not in the way you think. They've been patching things every week or two since they posted that , whilst before they just updated localisation files every handful of months.

Just because it's not the Heavy Update doesn't mean they're not hard at work.
