Destiny

Highlights:

• Emissary of the Nine frees herself from their control?
• Beginning of "The Fate Saga" which will span multiple years. Content announced through the end of 2027 at least.
• First expansion is "Edge of Fate" second is "Renegades"
• New guardian character Lodai seems to be important to the story.
• New location is Kepler, a large object in the Oort Cloud that is covered in dark matter.
• Guardians infuse their light and dark powers with dark mater to create new abilities.
• Showcase ability is Matterspark, which turns your guardian into a ball of Arc energy that functions identically to the Morph Ball in Metroid Prime.
• There are some attacks and abilities tied to Matterspark
• Some gameplay of manipulating the landscape to create paths for you to travel to as a Matterspark.
• Sounds like you'll need to go to specific points on the map to activate Matterspark.
• New enemies added to factions. We see some Jetpack Fallen called corsairs and some new suicide vex drones I didn't catch the name of.
• House of Exile Fallen are on Kepler, Vex are also on Kepler.
• World Tiers increase difficulty and open up new options for completing missions/objectives.
• There's a highly customizable difficulty setting for activities. TBH I couldn't really pay attention to this.
• Armor 3.0 allows stats to go over 100, energy all unlocked at start but can go above 10 slots, gear set bonuses (finally).
• Guns also have tiers up to 5 so far. Showing guns with EVERY perk as enhanced and up to 3 per column.
• Tier 5 weapons have special cosmetics.
• Firing range with summonable enemies is FINALLY added to the tower.
• New Portal screen that Replaces the Director, supposed to make it easier to get into content quicker.
• Can now hit the power cap entirely playing Crucible.
• Content roadmap shown. Two expansions per year. One Major update between Expansions? (I'll have to try and find this to confirm.)
• We are returning to the Plaguelands in this year's major update "Ash and Iron". Not clear if we're getting that level of update each time.
• New Raid on July 19th. No other details.
• No Land Beyond returns as "New Land Beyond". Available as a pre-order bonus now.
• Renegades is explicitly Star Wars themed. We get Han Solo's Blaster and a lightsaber.
• Additional Pre-Order bonuses include a Kylo Ren set for Warlocks, Darth Vader set for Titans, and General Grevious set for Hunters. Along with an, EoF Emote, Ghost, and Emblem.
• Rites of the Nine launches today and acts as the intro to Edge of Fate.

I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff I forgot to mention so I encourage everyone to watch the stream. I'll try to post more info as it becomes available.

Decided to make this community for the game I love to help see it grow here. I currently intend for this community to encompass all things Destiny, including Destiny 1 and 2, but we'll see how things go and adjust from there.

A few rules are located within the sidebar, as well as some community resources, creators, and other Lemmy communities.

Until an automated solution is found, weekly and daily reset information can be found here at D2 Checklist, also linked in the sidebar, unless myself or other members create reset posts, TWID posts, etc. Go share this community around and try to help grow it!

Feel free to make suggestions for the community here as well. All input is welcomed!

For new Lemmy users, here is a a quick guide to Lemmy. This guide is for lemmy.world, the instance we're located in, but the basics of how Lemmy works applies to any instance.
