When I read this originally, I thought this was for the beta but… oh
Could also just mean Trials so people don’t swap out exotics for Truth or whatever during heavy round? Wouldn’t be shocked since they’ll do whatever PvP players want and they’ve been asking for that.
yeah it does make a lot of sense for trials and when thinking about some other niche pvp cases in the previous game e.g using one weapon early game and switching to low-key top-tier tlaloc when you have super
for pve activities it seems like it’d be hard to implement?
Someday, I will get to do King’s Fall, haha.
i actually have thought this!
i am very curious and optimistic about the loadout lock situation, i think it could be a neat thing if they do it in the right places
More stuff out of IGN yesterday for Bungie Day:
Today’s crucible reveal shows blink is still in the game for at least warlocks.
Also nova bomb seems to move slower and explodes into axion bolts.
edit: the titan is using a primary weapon that is some kind of ramp-up machine gun? maybe there are some new primary weapon types too, that could be good for loadout diversity
they also make some tweaks to control, capture is faster begins immediately (no “neutralization” phase) and no longer a cap speed bonus for multiple people on one flag. the match begins with A and C capped to their respective teams.
titan looking good for PvP
sentinel titan super is the relic from vog, nice
i might actually play pvp this time, at least at the start before everyone’s figured out the best guns and whatnot
the only issue i foresee with crucible is power ammo only being given to the one person who grabs it. i can see certain people just memorizing the spawns and hogging it all for their team pretty easily, giving less-skilled players fewer opportunities to use (and become proficient with) power weapons in crucible. i hope that doesn’t turn out to be the case.
For the story fans:
did i ever tell you about the time ollie and i were in a patrol instance with that ‘my name is byf’ lad and we followed him around
a highlight of my destiny career
I dunno man, IrishWeedlord and Leslie Chambers were almost as high profile
goddamn i’d almost forgotten about Leslie Chambers.
fucking leslie chambers
ok so titans do get ward of dawn still as a super
if you hold the button down, you get ward of dawn, otherwise you get the shield which you can throw into enemies or charge into them with, that’s a pretty versatile super.
Having never played Destiny, will this be worth picking up on PC?
Really what I’m asking here is:
Are there going to be enough PC SBers to play this on weekends regularly?
Destiny 2 preload starts tomorrow on PS4, get your hard drive space cleared out 
Out of the usual PS4 gang, I think one or two said they were gonna check it out? Probably fine if you want to do some story co-op or whatever but insufficient for raiding unless you wanna use guided games.
The delayed launch on PC does have the unfortunate side effect that PS4 people are probably gonna be sick of it by the time it’s out
i’ll pick up the pc version, it does look really fucking good but i’m definitely playing on ps4 with the existing sb clan so i guess it depends on how burned out i am by pc launch
Count me in for PC but I don’t think I’ll have time to do raids outside of special occasions.
can someone explain the Leslie Chambers thing to me?
it’s okay if this outs me as a cultural dunce – i have never understood what makes this special
as stated i’ll be playing this on PC
Shortly following the release of The Taken King, we were one or two people short to do a raid and we jumped into Crucible. Someone noticed that one of the players had their full name as their handle, which is pretty rare. That person was LeslieChambers. They also happened to be carrying their team pretty hard.
