    They will carry over. No official confirmation if the size will stay the same or increase. I'd be happy if they simply considered affiliated clans as one clan.

    Nice one.

    I decided to leave Destiny alone to finish some backlog before Destiny 2.
    Have purchased a 2nd Ps4 for my son and will be pre-ordering a digital copy.

    I'ts not time to shard it yet
    Just relax, take it slowly
    You're still young that's your fault
    There's so much you have to know
    Find a Gjallarhorn, break it down
    If you want you can infuse
    Look at me I'm just 380 but I'm happy

    I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
    To be calm when you've found raiding going on
    But take your time, try lfg
    Why, think of all the loot you've got
    For you will still be here Tuesday
    But challenge mode may not

    etc.

    **** Dumb question of the day! **** Does the beta simply download for me when the time comes to play it, or do I have to go and collect and redeem some beta access code? I preordered from the store.

    If you preordered on the store then the beta will be available to download when it appears in store.

    Was just thinking there - in D2, Gaul takes away our light - to reintroduce us to the fear of death. We will get our light and respawn ability back fairly sharpish but when we beat him in the story/raid it will mostly be down to us having our light and being able to reanimate after death - proving that Gaul is right; we are nothing without our light. Because of that, they should make the flawless raider achievement a massive deal (assuming Gaul is part of the first raid) and award us something in game for it - maybe a specific (but not OP) exotic weapon or piece of armour - as a tribute to us beating gaul without dying.

    I tried - but my comfort zone is hard to get out of.

    Really need to get to finishing Mass Effect.

    Tried playing CoD:IW and just couldn't get in to it - just the campaign mode, can't get used to dying so much (cause I suck!)

    Have a few other games to play but just zoning out and playing some PvP in the hour or so I have before bed most nights now just sits right.

    Was going to get Darkest Dungeons but it looks sh1t.#fishing

    I think I am near the end of the main story - its all the traveling to different planets to do some 30 second cut scene to finish off a side quest is putting me off completing it. I can't see myself doing a fresh playthrough so I want to get as much of the game done as possible (I played the original trilogy through 5 time I think) as I just don't like the open world for repetition. I preferred the linear story beats with choices rather than what Andromeda (and Dragon Age Inquisition) brought.

    I'd like to see Destiny become more dynamic.

    Not just the same enemies appearing at the exact same places and time constantly. Also vary the paths to the objective. The odd time throw a spanner in the works sending Guardians down a treacherous path where might be ambushed.

    Payday 2 is a great example of this. It helps repetitive missions not feel as repetitive.

    The latest in worrying destiny 2 talk....

    1. Luke Smith reckons The Stranger's story arc was nicely wrapped up in Destiny 1 - doesn't understand why people still talk about her, and ask about her.

    They explained absolutely nothing about her, cause they didn't have the time apparently, but he things her giving you a gun was all the closure we needed. With Grimoire disappearing, and a shift to in game story telling, comments like that worry me. If they think that story is done... what kind of story are we in for in D2?

    2. Destiny 2 will have no "Rumble" and, at launch, while it will have Competitive and Social play lists there isn't (apparently) a ranking component to that - though they did say they will speak more on the differences between them at a later date. Along with lowering the player count in PVP and not giving us private matches either - I really have to wonder what the hell they are playing at with PvP. A load of odd, and/or poor, decisions

    I imagine a lot of it is to do with EA pushing for a release and the time constraints. Presumably if you left Bungie to their own devices we'd get an awesome game, with a shed load of content and a legible story by around 2026.
    Launch day titles often leave a lot to be desired. 4 in PvP is the most worrying thing for me at this point but time will tell.

    Activision, not EA - and they have already been given an extra year to get this game ready so I just can't take evil overlord time constraints as a reasonable excuse.

    Pretty sure you could ship Rumble with minus effort. Genuinely requires no additional elements, just set a score and add all of the maps to rotation. Wouldn't be surprised if they're holding it back to later add it to the game as 'new content'.

    No private matches? Was that confirmed? Seems a really odd move and doesn't add up after all the shouts for it from the community.

    I guess it's technically better than having stuff in the game at launch, making it obsolete then adding it back in again.

    I guess they are afraid people will find some way to abuse private matches (drops? quests? bounties?) and they want to keep everyone on an "even keel" in terms of activites you can load into.

    Yep - confirmed it won't be in the game at launch but it is "part of the roadmap".

    Hoping when they do bring them they don't just give us the D1 private matchmaking. If they are holding off they can't give us the same stuff again - they need to give us proper custom matches rather than private - then I would see it as a fair trade off.

    I can only think they want PvP to take place on their terms, in their modes, at the start of the game so that they can get a proper picture of how everything is working.

    Yeah this time around I'd like full options to limit loadouts and gear, that would be awesome.

    All of this

    Sure wasn't TripleWreck working up there for a few months to try ensure PvP didn't have a broken Meta at launch?

    I read that PC Gamer interview last night with luke smith,definitely some worrying comments when it comes to the destiny 1 story.

    Makes me wonder for other story arcs,his comments came accross as dismissive of the story questions. As if whats happened up till now doesnt really matter.
