I just started playing again today after taking a couple months off. Man, I’m really enjoying it. For those of you like me that got burnt out. Take a break, play other games, then maybe try coming back later. I know this game (and bungie) have issues, but I forgot how much of the core game I still really enjoyed.
The Star Wars collab in a game like Destiny is the most excited I’ve seen people get over anything Star Wars related in years. Shows how far that franchise has fallen into apathy, just like Destiny.
Seeing a lot of folk complain about Oryx returning in some way and it’s shocking to me… we’ve had lore tidbits for YEARS suggesting Oryx isn’t completely gone. I get complaints about defeated enemies returning, but it’s not like this is an ass pull by any means, we really should’ve all known we’d cross paths with Oryx again.
I know it's not an ass pull, but I don't care...I wanted more about Xivu and Savathun. I love Oryx as a character but his time is done. I could really care less about him coming back. He died, let it be.
Big same! There are so many reasons why Oryx could be back in some form-my immediate thought being that he is the echo, similar to how the echoes in previous episodes being sentient memories of previous people (which is expanded upon in the lore cards)… And if he’s the echo, I could see the narrative following the thread of Oryx’s unclaimed title of “Taken King”, which Tolland has been warned us about since the Taken King expansion. 😂 We’ll have to see obviously, but I’m hella excited to see Oryx back, and how he’s going to react to the last decade’s worth of revelations and narrative happenings, considering he was one of the first baddies we fought, and he’s not seen any of the developments since… well, year 2 of Destiny
Savathun eyes (we killed a bunch of those in Arrivals) in the keyart. I feel like they'll be showing up, but Bungie wants to be coy about how and when.
I personally had a good experience with Rocket Money, but that isn't always the case. After having used it I discovered what their business model really is. They get people approved "easy" but they only hold onto your loan for 6 months. Those 6 months are when the most interest is paid in payments of loans, so they skim off those first 6 months of higher interest payments and then they sell your loan to any random company they can get the best deal from, making more quick money from your loan. You never know if the company you will end up at who holds your loan is any good or not. You might end up at a place that everything goes smoothly, or as some people have found you may end up at a place that has a difficulty payment system, or corrupt employees who break federal regulations and dont even care and charge you fake late fees and steal money from you. The way that works is they only allow mail in payments instead of online, and then when they get your check they dont process it and sit on it for a week and then claim it came in late. TLDR: So anyway, sorry for long post but that is Rocket Money's business model. Get people in easier to apply for loans, grab the first few months of higher interest payments, then make money by selling your loan to someone else.
I’ve used them for years they were a totally different company and all back then but rocket bought em out and honestly they just made it better helps you out a lot
Im not a huge lore person or a narrative nerd but it would be cool if we end up getting a taken subclass as the final darkness subclass. With Sloan showing us her new tricks, could be an intro to that for act 2 or 3.
I would LOVE this but unfortunately a sublass in their eyes requires an expansion so I dont see it happening. Im almost certain the “taken” abilities are gonna be entirely season tied. We technically already used taken energy in the final shape quests with mara if anyone remembers so it wouldn’t be hard implementing that and tying it to the seasonal activity
I know the fantasy for such a subclass would be to run into a room of enemies and just "take" everything, but that'd be so broken lol. I imagine if we ever got that ability, it'd be like the artifact from RoI, where we melee a single enemy and it turns into our ally for a limited time. But then there's the problem where certain activities that only progress after defeating all the ads would have to wait for that "ally" to disappear, so that would have to be fixed as well.
The boons system feels like how Risk Of Rain's Items work especially Corrupt Boons functioning like Lunar Items i.e. Glass Cannon functioning similar to Shaped Glass (Double Damage for the trade of your heath max health for those that dont play Risk Of Rain 2)
The old mod was called "Particle DEconstruction". Everyone keeps saying this is an old mod that came back, which just isnt true. This mod is completely different from the new "Particle REconstruction".
Yes. Particle Deconstruction was a stacking debuff while the new mod (particle reconstruction) looks to be a buff. I vastly prefer debuff perks but particle deconstruction could get up to a 40 % debuff at its max so I guess they didn’t want to give it back to us. Hopefully the other benefits of the new mod will help it or the damage buff will be above 25 percent but I kinda doubt it.
This game, at it’s core, is always battling between being MMO-like and also realizing that the majority of it’s players are interested in it as a Shooter first. It makes A lot of these types of design choices / seasons extremely polarizing.
Also remember for the healing aspect from the support frame, your also boosted 300hp so your health bar is representing much more health than you would normally have also making it seem like it’s healing even less on top of it being dialed back
If you're disappointed about Xivu not being in the spotlight this season, imagine how let down I was by the big failure to deliver on the threat that was Savathun's Song
As a note: I don’t think the strand auto is healing less, I think it’s healing at the same rate of 20-30 health per shot. However when shown in the activity they mention how there’s an extra 300 health and 75 shields. It’s the same rate but the health bar makes it look a lot less
Triton Vice with Vexcalibur on Prismatic is going to be so good as you can proc health regen on melee kills for you and nearby allies with a certain fragment and keep the Overshield continuously activated with very little ammo useage with the upcoming Vexcalibur and Glaive buffs.
I am so tired of old enemies coming back. Edit: I need people to understand. I don’t mean the factions or races.I mean the bosses that we fight over and over.
Agreed. As opposed to Warframe where you are always getting introduced to new enemies and factions or variations of already existing factions that add to their lore
Instead of a taken subclass, make “taking” an enemy a weapon perk with a hefty cooldown like brain rot in black ops. Enhancing the perk lowers the cooldown. Base will take the enemy (up to a base orange bar) after dealing fatal damage to said enemy. Maybe the taken had a little higher health pool but down little damage and takes a percentage of aggro. Just a thought After thinking about it, make it an exotic smg
Should be a pair of exotic gauntlets for each class. Melee kills or finishers on certain enemies Takes them for a period of time or until they die in combat. Kinda like that artifact from d1 that made enemies allies for a short time
@ I could get down with that. Maybe dealing damage charges the armors perk. I just like weapons more than armor but I’m a night hawk/ liar caliban user
If episodic armor is going to be really important I’m hoping there will be a way to get it with high stats. Cause shit dropping with 57 total stats is not worth whatever set bonus it gives IMO
Always wanted to see an X-wing as a jumpship in Destiny. Shame we didn’t get that. I don’t think Oryx is the big bad either. To me it seems like he’s just haunting the Dreadnaught and watching the chaos.
@@bradfortner8921I’d my rather they try something new and interesting rather than rehashing everything, even if it’s a miss I’d still have some sort of hope for the game and let’s not get it twisted nimbis was a hard miss. Honestly bungie is just cooked they can’t make new characters because they’re doubling down on no over delivery and are so creatively bankrupt they just bring the next corpse of a character out so the sunken cost people will praise them blindly on twitter
@ We’ve all seen the under-delivery presentation at this point. I see it as old news at this point. I’ll accept that they’re weak in new ideas, and likely poorly staffed. I don’t think they’re understaffed though. I think they were so bloated with PR personnel that a reorganization was necessary. That said, it’s time for the new folks to earn their spots. And while I’d love new content, part of me is content with something safe and reliable at this point.
@QuestionEverythingY That doesn’t work in this context though. People aren’t complaining because characters like Saint and Osiris are gay. They at least have some character identity beyond their relationship. People are leaving due to actual gameplay problems whether it be sandbox or unaddressed or simply executive decisions that are making folks lose faith
Funny how they tried to show off the new healing gun, but it just seemed very useless in the new activity with how little it actually heals. You're better off just putting on a better gun and using literally anything else for heals.
@@greenstar1378 Support frames have never been good and always been underwhelming. The fact they're making an activity where they're basically forcing their use to make them relevant is even more off putting.
In comment to the new story structure mentioned coming in Heresy. Why can't we just get more transparency? Months ago, when the first episode wrapped up and people were getting loud about how bad the story was. Why couldn't Bungie just come out and say to us "Hey! We know we aren't delivering right now. We are working on a project to make the third episode's story much more interactive. It's going to take us some time, bear with us." Rather than letting everyone just sit there, not knowing if the game is going to be worth playing in a few months. It's just annoying. Everything always needs to be a secret. I'm over it.
There is a perk already that also gives you (and your ally) restoration when you trigger a heal, so it might not be that, but the idea still is sound if that perk didn't exist
So we killed oryx in the real world.... killed him in his throne world.... prevented him from being resurrected as a light bearer.... and he's just back.... sure man
Bungie / DMG should've stated outright that they don't release exotics at the last season/episode of the year. Because in the past you didn't need to choose between exotic armor and aspects, during the Light 3.0 seasons we got HUGE reworks and also got new exotic armor. Plus they talked about reworking existing exotic armor, but that is just changing a number on a spreadsheet and isn't new content. There wasn't a choice in the past, and there shouldn't be now.
You forget. Bungie also said in a public Game Developers Convention that Bungie intentionally underdevelopes Destiny to keep player expectations low so they don't have to try to make quality every season. That is the choice. They chose this for us.
Meant "match quality every season" because they don't want to "burn out of ideas" or something. Which is concerning for a developer making a live service game. If you can't keep up with quality quantity and diversity, you shouldn't be making live service games.
@@tinystar3010they’re complete scumbags it’s crazy, anyone who isn’t a sunken cost, whale literally doesn’t matter to bungie because they aren’t just going to throw cash at bungie or even eat up any of the slop the whales will
That’s very disingenuous to say that reworks of exotics are just a number change. I agree it sucks to not have new exotic armor and we definitely should be getting both new aspects and exotics but we’ll have to see how the reworks feel and to see how different each exotic may feel but a lot of them are (maybe more or less this time) substantially different
@@tinystar3010also there’s been a lot of changes at Bungie in terms of who works there and who team leads and developers so this philosophy might not even hold weight anymore because that was such a old panel at this point lmfao
That's because it is always a horrible roll. Even more now that we cannot focus armour ... Bungie push these types of things but to run it we need to tank our builds to actually use the pieces.
@@TheChocoboKid oh wow, that roll being in your top 5 is definitely crazy to me then! especially when there are so many better options in terms of damage and ad clear.
I'm pretty excited for season 26, a few things that weren't said but... I think that Strand Sub-Machine gun exotic will be obtainable from searching out the Dreadnaught, in the beginning of the VOD you see a dude pick up an exotic item we haven't seen before. I bet we farm that activity to get the gun and it's catalysts.
I love this game with my life, it's been my favourite since I played they beta, they also just announced the Star Wars collab which is my favourite saga in all fiction, let's hope good things wait ahead
Maybe Barrow Dyad is actually the Exotic for the new Dungeon? Idk if we even know what the new Dungeons Exotic is yet. Also considering it might or might not be a precursor to Osteo and Osteo we got from Savathun’s Throne World. AND the new Dungeon is based in the Throne World could be it.
I hope the ship is a tie fighter, the sparrow is a speeder bike, the finsher is the sith choke and, the emote is the tusken raider celebration also i don't buy collab bundles for destiny but i will definitely this one!!!!!!
Barrow Dyad + peacekeepers Everyone acts like multiple weapon perks aren’t a thing when I can show you all how to be able to get triple perks in each column
ROGUELITE MENTIONED. 8:58 Btw the pro/con modifiers are pretty standard with pretty much every roguelike/roguelite (lunar items in Risk of Rain 2 immediately spring to mind) and in that game there are some items that are ridiculously strong despite their downsides
The problem for me at this point with destiny weapons is there all like even no gun really does any more damage overall than others. I no some people don’t like it but I’d like to have a weapon or event where the guns are just stupid powerful…Like when they had the gun glitch with crafted weapons that got super powerful was extremely fun and also was mentioned that during that time player base got big jump of players so lots of others liked it as well…
Warlock for once got a real spicy outfit! Also, I think dyad will become a weapon of sorrow once we get all the upgrades. They said sth in that vein, that the weapon has many secrets and that it is a precursor of a WOS. I think the catalyst will make it a WOS. at least I hope so, I love the necro-wos interactions to top it all off dyad is also not kinetic so it'll be easier to buildcraft around it.
Looking forward to the true finale of Light and Dark here. Hive always deliver. Really need a strong finish here to lead into Frontiers where I hope they truly shake it up.
Okay, I'm seeing some good things. I'm now curious about frontier, but I'm not pre-ordering anything till I have a good sense of what I'm getting with my money
Hey Cross, would you be willing to make a video talking about how badly they’re nerfing the class exotic glaives? I don’t know if you noticed when you were making your video about all the changes in Heresy, but they’re basically nerfing them by 50%, doubling the number of hits required to charge the special shots from 3 to 6. Even with the situational ability to charge them with melee hits, risking death for a slightly faster charge time compared to 6 shots, it’s still a pretty massive nerf that will cut the power of these glaives almost in half. The tiny compensation buffs they’re giving the glaives alongside these nerfs don’t even come close to making up for what they’re losing. Since Bungie only listens to RUclipsrs and streamers, it would mean a lot to the people who actually like these glaives if you could help draw attention to how badly they’re about to be gutted.
ORYX AGAIN?!!!!! How many times have we killed this boss. I’m really ready to get some completely new story beats. I might just skip this season honestly.
What would’ve been a great idea for Bungie to do is to have multiple perks elements on weapons Like for example volatile rounds explodes causes Threadling to spread out to seek opponents causing more volatile.
Cross you missed something! Techian Force was in the energy slot with a new icon so that means maybe some of the last wish weapons are also getting some updated rolls!
I felt the Sar Wars crossover is alright it has one major miss. The hunter should have been a mandalorian. Especially since they are given the hunter this new bounty targets system with the aspect and Lorenz driver could have gotten a new ornament to look like din djarin rifle.
Yeah, sorry DMG, but we were getting 3.0 Subclasses(9 Aspects) with 3 Exotics during Witch Queen’ seasons. The precedent that it can be done is there, bad excuse for not giving us new Exotic armor.

Reciprocity reminds me of the word reciprocate, so I imagine outgoing healing probably heals you as well.
There is a perk already that also gives you (and your ally) restoration when you trigger a heal, so it might not be that, but the idea still is sound if that perk didn't exist
@@nerdyspider1347 the perk also looks like tunnel vision so it might give you a bonus to A.D.S. on heal
(Just possibilities on what it reminds me of)
So we killed oryx in the real world.... killed him in his throne world.... prevented him from being resurrected as a light bearer.... and he's just back.... sure man
Bungie / DMG should've stated outright that they don't release exotics at the last season/episode of the year.
Because in the past you didn't need to choose between exotic armor and aspects, during the Light 3.0 seasons we got HUGE reworks and also got new exotic armor. Plus they talked about reworking existing exotic armor, but that is just changing a number on a spreadsheet and isn't new content.
There wasn't a choice in the past, and there shouldn't be now.
You forget. Bungie also said in a public Game Developers Convention that Bungie intentionally underdevelopes Destiny to keep player expectations low so they don't have to try to make quality every season. That is the choice. They chose this for us.
Meant "match quality every season" because they don't want to "burn out of ideas" or something. Which is concerning for a developer making a live service game. If you can't keep up with quality quantity and diversity, you shouldn't be making live service games.
@@tinystar3010they’re complete scumbags it’s crazy, anyone who isn’t a sunken cost, whale literally doesn’t matter to bungie because they aren’t just going to throw cash at bungie or even eat up any of the slop the whales will
That’s very disingenuous to say that reworks of exotics are just a number change. I agree it sucks to not have new exotic armor and we definitely should be getting both new aspects and exotics but we’ll have to see how the reworks feel and to see how different each exotic may feel but a lot of them are (maybe more or less this time) substantially different
@@tinystar3010also there’s been a lot of changes at Bungie in terms of who works there and who team leads and developers so this philosophy might not even hold weight anymore because that was such a old panel at this point lmfao
Imagine instead of empire inspired armor sets, we got clone wars armor sets i would lose it
Why wasn’t the warlock a Jedi? That would be the one purchase from destiny that wouldn’t immediately give me crazy buyers remorse.
@alexwilliamson9562 why wasn't the Hunter a mando?
2:27 taken warbeasts? Is that new???
Yes
I want to get a full team of 6 stormtroopers in a crucible game and make it our aim to miss every single shot
They ALWAYS emphasize seasonal armor and yet NO ONE uses it over artiface armor
That's because it is always a horrible roll. Even more now that we cannot focus armour ... Bungie push these types of things but to run it we need to tank our builds to actually use the pieces.
The missed opportunity of Bungie not giving Warlocks Jedi robes and Hunters Mandalorian armor. Geez man.
That's on disney
"Whispering Slab is back"
Me, who always has it appear in top used weapons every year review since it first dropped.
what’s the roll you use? I had one with sympathetic arsenal but it got power crept super hard lol
@@adhirg rangefinder
Opening shot
@@TheChocoboKid ah so you used it in PvP, right?
@adhirg i play more pve
@@TheChocoboKid oh wow, that roll being in your top 5 is definitely crazy to me then! especially when there are so many better options in terms of damage and ad clear.
I'm pretty excited for season 26, a few things that weren't said but... I think that Strand Sub-Machine gun exotic will be obtainable from searching out the Dreadnaught, in the beginning of the VOD you see a dude pick up an exotic item we haven't seen before. I bet we farm that activity to get the gun and it's catalysts.
I love this game with my life, it's been my favourite since I played they beta, they also just announced the Star Wars collab which is my favourite saga in all fiction, let's hope good things wait ahead
aka boons from Hades. y'all, just go play hades and dead cells and you'll get the idea.
I'll replay those over this episode because they're roguelites done right.
20:27 why did they change the name from deconstruction?
It's gonna be a nerfed version almost certainly
They reconstruct it to be worse
Maybe Barrow Dyad is actually the Exotic for the new Dungeon? Idk if we even know what the new Dungeons Exotic is yet. Also considering it might or might not be a precursor to Osteo and Osteo we got from Savathun’s Throne World. AND the new Dungeon is based in the Throne World could be it.
God, I barely touched D2 this season. There's been so many good games the past few months.
Gotta pay an extra 20 if you don't own the dungeon keys.
The dreadnought is the reason I fell in love with D1 so I’m pretty hyped for this
I'm just curious about how oryx would feel about being resurrected, since it goes against everything he believes in.
I hope the ship is a tie fighter, the sparrow is a speeder bike, the finsher is the sith choke and, the emote is the tusken raider celebration also i don't buy collab bundles for destiny but i will definitely this one!!!!!!
Barrow Dyad + peacekeepers
Everyone acts like multiple weapon perks aren’t a thing when I can show you all how to be able to get triple perks in each column
Barrow-Dyad + Peacekeepers on strand titan with Banner of war. Titans and warlocks are gonna be eating GOOD next week.
If Xivu Arath is in the next anuel expansion that'll be a huge W
Honestly taken being a summoner class would make me hype for the first time since 30th
So this activity is why combination blow kept getting tuned down. Sold cowl punch build would have trivialized this type of activity.
welcome to the club... they took my synthocep lunge range increase, only to give a nerfed version through the classitem to other classes..
They can tell me to wear as much of the seasonal armor as possible but the problem is the seasonal armor stats just suck
The weapons look sick, I can wait to see how they look with the trials momento
ROGUELITE MENTIONED. 8:58 Btw the pro/con modifiers are pretty standard with pretty much every roguelike/roguelite (lunar items in Risk of Rain 2 immediately spring to mind) and in that game there are some items that are ridiculously strong despite their downsides
Reciprocity I can almost guarantee heals you while it heals friends. As in, it reciprocates
The problem for me at this point with destiny weapons is there all like even no gun really does any more damage overall than others. I no some people don’t like it but I’d like to have a weapon or event where the guns are just stupid powerful…Like when they had the gun glitch with crafted weapons that got super powerful was extremely fun and also was mentioned that during that time player base got big jump of players so lots of others liked it as well…
I was already sold on the star wars armor immediately, but as soon as i saw the death star ghost shoots the laser was an insta doubled down
There was a perk in bf1 called reciprocity. It healed u whenever u healed an ally.
Welcome back Vex! We missed you!
I wish they showed off that exotic smg better. The guy wasn't even using it properly, its not a long distance weapon.
He missed everything bro 😭😭 didn’t even use the perk
Warlock for once got a real spicy outfit!
Also, I think dyad will become a weapon of sorrow once we get all the upgrades. They said sth in that vein, that the weapon has many secrets and that it is a precursor of a WOS. I think the catalyst will make it a WOS. at least I hope so, I love the necro-wos interactions to top it all off dyad is also not kinetic so it'll be easier to buildcraft around it.
A Taken subclass, might just get me back into Destiny tbh
There won't be one.
Never gonna happen, takes too much creativity which Bungie has in limited supply these days
Calling it now Randle the Vandal has the echo
I expect Xivu to get a brief appearance here (such as through the Dungeon) but then mainly featured in Behemoth.
Forget the Star Wars armor (as fun as it looks)! I want Bungie/MGM to give us Stargate armor! Titan Horus Guard, Warlock Wraith, and Hunter Airman!
Did they mention anything about the hacker and xim infestation?
Even with Star Wars collab it still isn't enough to bring me back to DEstiny since 2023
Looking forward to dusting off the Lumina/Boots of the Assembler build in the new activity. I will not allow any of my teammates to die.
Wish the Star Wars collab had a clone wars set
What I am curious about is if all or even some of the things from episodes will be sunset when heresy reaches its conclusion.
All of it.
Fitting we get a “somehow Palpatine returned” moment along with the StarWars collab
…Sloan……not Toland? I hate the narrative team so much
Looking forward to the true finale of Light and Dark here. Hive always deliver. Really need a strong finish here to lead into Frontiers where I hope they truly shake it up.
The main problem with oscillation was that it put all our ranged guns on one side and all our dangerous to use guns on the other side
I still see enriching power :( no crafting return. Better not be that over-bloated fucking tonic system again or I am 100% done.
Very big missed opportunity for Mandolorian Hunters and Jedi Warlocks 🤦♂️
Euphony with particle reconstruction is going to be crazy
Ngl. This season actually has me kinda hyped. Kinda a weird feeling to have again.
Do I get more vault space ?
Okay, I'm seeing some good things. I'm now curious about frontier, but I'm not pre-ordering anything till I have a good sense of what I'm getting with my money
Vex mytho is going to be amazing this season
19:35 Here me out, the perk reads specifically “special ammo” glaives. Could the dungeon exotic a heavy ammo glaive?
Hey Cross, would you be willing to make a video talking about how badly they’re nerfing the class exotic glaives? I don’t know if you noticed when you were making your video about all the changes in Heresy, but they’re basically nerfing them by 50%, doubling the number of hits required to charge the special shots from 3 to 6. Even with the situational ability to charge them with melee hits, risking death for a slightly faster charge time compared to 6 shots, it’s still a pretty massive nerf that will cut the power of these glaives almost in half. The tiny compensation buffs they’re giving the glaives alongside these nerfs don’t even come close to making up for what they’re losing.
Since Bungie only listens to RUclipsrs and streamers, it would mean a lot to the people who actually like these glaives if you could help draw attention to how badly they’re about to be gutted.
So are we repairing the Dreadnaught to leave the Sol System or not
ORYX AGAIN?!!!!! How many times have we killed this boss. I’m really ready to get some completely new story beats. I might just skip this season honestly.
I’ll be so hyped if it is a weapon of sorrow.
What would’ve been a great idea for Bungie to do is to have multiple perks elements on weapons Like for example volatile rounds explodes causes Threadling to spread out to seek opponents causing more volatile.
I think that SMG is a precursor to my beloved Touch
I wonder if the smg will have synergy with malfeasance or wither hoard
Cross you missed something! Techian Force was in the energy slot with a new icon so that means maybe some of the last wish weapons are also getting some updated rolls!
...HOLD UP.
Will our current rolls of the vault weapons be able to be enhanced just like the bento token weapons?
I felt the Sar Wars crossover is alright it has one major miss. The hunter should have been a mandalorian. Especially since they are given the hunter this new bounty targets system with the aspect and Lorenz driver could have gotten a new ornament to look like din djarin rifle.
Yeah, sorry DMG, but we were getting 3.0 Subclasses(9 Aspects) with 3 Exotics during Witch Queen’ seasons. The precedent that it can be done is there, bad excuse for not giving us new Exotic armor.
you are right at the end of the vid i never bought cosmetics in destiny but that storm trooper titan i need it🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stormtroopers and Titans - what a pair
