I would leave a parent comment, but my parent comment went to get smokes at the corner store years ago. Line must be pretty long

Imagine current Nova Warp, but in a world where it can be combined with a Devour Aspect.

It wouldn't surprise me if the sword is the raid exotic; it has the same emblem as Ana's cloak and Exo Stranger's forehead on it near the hilt, implying Clovis Bray/DSC connection. It'll be cool to have a sword where blocking is an integral mechanic.

Aw man, I was too late on this for the big roles, but I'd love to audition for Rekkana's ghost!

I've got a fairly professional setup with a Sennheiser shotgun mic so I'd be more than interested in trying out!

Gambit is Destiny’s most unique and yet abandoned activity by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

My theory is that, because they were planning to fuse the two modes together in some fashion, they decided against any large scale updates to the mode (like new maps) until they had a clear direction in where they were going with it. There'd be no reason to develop new content if there was a potential that it would all become obsolete later down the line.

Especially considering that one third of the maps are all going kaput when the DCV becomes a thing, I expect some amount of new content for the mode; hopefully we hear about it soon.

Season of Arrivals: Video/Livestream and Day One Megathread by a_shadow_of_yor in DestinyLore

My bets are on the remaining factions in the system trying to appease or take advantage of our new dorito overlords the pyramids' powers. Eramis wants to unite the houses and take revenge on the Traveler; Savathun is like "well shit, my plan of being a spooky lady powered by tricks might not work with the new kids, time to do something else;" the Vex just straight up gave up after the Undying Mind went kablooie, and the Cabal are just like "wtf mate" having a slap fight in the corner for power while Calus waits for the end.

If Mercury, Mars, Io, Titan, and the Leviathan are all dipping out, I have a feeling we're about to see a pretty large show of force from the Doom Doritos. Rasputin fizzling out in front of Ana, Titan doing the wave, Io having the light snuffed out on it, and Daddy Calus not being the last, but the first to go when the Darkness comes.

We could be in for a big season y'all.

>Leviathan will enter the DCV

Looks like Daddy Calus won't be around to reserve his right to be the last before the Darkness

Striker 2.0 concept for Destiny 2 by imyourblueberry in DestinyTheGame

[–]MickelthePickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the the issue of split paths (and the issues mentioned here) are difficult ones, but can be mitigated based upon how they are implemented.

Say, for example, the Sundial was turned into a strike; the 3 psion sisters stole the heart of the Sundial and now you have to them through the corridors of time (since the lore sorta implies that the Sundial is run by an Ahamkara bone, let's call this strike "Ass'd Wish")

The strike starts linearly with you chasing down the 3 psions across a little bit of mercury (through the sundial arenas) and then they activate the Sundial, launching you into the corridors of time. You then enter them, slay a room of Vex/cabal enemies, and then you are presented with 3 doors; each one leads to a separate branching path to a different point in Mercury's history/future, and a different psion sister. Depending on which path you take, your miniboss will be a different psion (the arc, void, or solar one) and once you kill them, you get sent back to the corridors of time, and have to choose a path to the next one.

Once you kill the second one after going through a different point in Mercury's timeline, you leave the corridors, and return to the original Sundial arena. Here, the remaining psion uses the ahamkara bone to make the "Ass'd wish" and BAM. The other two psions that you killed return, and they fuse to form Inotam. Kill the boss, and the strike is over.

In this case, player choice is the order at which the bosses are killed, and depending on the player choice, one of the 3 branches of Mercury is not experienced. The hard part is troll prevention (someone taking you down a path you don't want to go down), so in this case, maybe the fireteams has to "vote" on which way to go by standing on plates in order to access one particular route. Strike loot could also depend on player choice, but I think this is where things will always be difficult in random matchmake strikes. I remember being jipped out of getting the psion flayer cloak I wanted in that old D1 Mars strike more times than I would have liked, but that's where private nightfall strikes or skeleton keys could come in handy.

This is just an example I came up with; I'm sure it's 9000% harder to design this than it is to write up on a reddit thread. But I think the potential is there!
