Plus something to keep in mind. If it's in the Blizzard eco-system... maybe those tokens you can buy with WoW Gold will work for Destiny micro-transactions!
With out being on Battle.net, I wonder if they'll do the same promotions through WoW that they did for Diablo 3? Such as getting the game free or at a discount for doing a full year sub, etc? Would be one way to broaden the playerbase.
I figure it might actually help with the community. Stuff gets overshadowed by whatever is the new hotness on Steam. On B.Net you know it will always just be an inch away from every Overwatch, WoW, Hearthstone and HotS player's eye.

So from a leak thread I was reading that got everything else right it looks like the three base classes are unchanged from voidwalker, striker and gunslinger but the subclasses have been completely redone
if they learned their lesson from hiring Dinklage and Nighy the first time around then no it wont be.
Cumberbatch is one of the few dudes that can do the VO stuff.
What was wrong with Nighy's performance?
its not about their performances, its about being able to them to come back on the schedule and budget that Bungie has. there's a reason the Speaker was silent for about 2 years after launch. a reason why your Ghost didn't speak at all between vanilla and TTK(and its not cause Dinklage gave a poor performance). Bungie went for big names and it bit them in the ass.
Gina Torres and Lance Reddick aren't on that same level so getting them back isn't as daunting a task. Fillion you could argue would be a tougher job, especially while Castle was running, but he loves this shit and i'm sure he made all the time he could for it*.
of course there's the chance that Gaul gets killed at the end of the base campaign like every other villain we've had, but i'm holding out hope he'll be a looming threat for a while yet.
*though i still believe that Shiro only exists cause Fillion wasn't available.
Guys... guys. Just be super happy it's not on the Windows Store.
Why? At least that is just a storefront. Being on Battlenet or whatever blizzard is calling it these days means that it is going to have a lot of account and probably login server type integration. I highly doubt it's just going to be dropped in the app and be completely separate.

But those have always been subclasses... base classes were Warlock, Titan, Hunter

yeah, the elements are still the same, Void, Solar and Arc but these are all new sub-classes. or at least heavily reworked variants.
EDIT: also we saw Void Titan, Solar Warlock and Arc Hunter, so even the sub-classes Beezel listed are wrong for what we were shown.

Honestly the only thing in-game I can really notice is that I can chat with folks that are playing other Blizzard games or other servers in WoW that are on my friends list. My Battle.Net account isn't linked to Facebook or Twitter or any of that other fluff.
I am probably going to skip the Beta this time around. I overdosed on pre-release content for Destiny 1 (played Alph and Beta, went to a onsite testing event at Bungie) , and since there was a content problem, that really sucked some of the fun out of the early game. Not going to make that mistake again.
I think my 2 favorite announcements were the Clan improvements, and being able to port directly to a new planet.
Clan UI has a 'Season 1' header in there, so i guess rewards will be based on timed events and things will reset every couple of months. hopefully some unique content added each season.
So is it like...2 primary slots and a third slot and it seems like some kind of utility power?
Speaking of, I think they named grenade launchers when they were listing power weapon types, so I think that means that big gatling gun can be your primary.
Trying to wrap my head around gun perks too, though I suppose we'll find out more once the content creators start releasing their own gameplay impressions later on this week.

Looks like a mixture of primaries and secondaries now can fill either your kinetic slot or elemental slot (Saw pulse, auto, sidearm etc in both of those) and some weapons types (which appear to always be elemental) are now in the new heavy/power slot. Saw grenade launcher, LMG and rocket launcher in that so far. At least that I caught.

they said snipers, fusions and grenade launchers. so power weapons may be a combo of special and heavy. wonder if shotguns will be in that group of moved over with kinetic and other(what ever it was).

I'm hearing heavy machine guns are out in favor of the grenade launcher and another weapon type they're not talking about yet but dunno how true that is.

That would be amazing!

It gets DDOS'd all the fucking time.
If any game goes down they tend to all go down.
Plus the circus of tie ins they're going to shove down D2 and all the Blizzard games.
Hated the PS4 exclusives? Well buckle the fuck up.

I would be extremely surprised if it wasn't.

it kinda makes sense. it is Activision-Blizzard after all. sure they generally operate as separate entities, but they are still partnered.

So if there's anyone still on the PS4 side... prepare thyselves for crucible action.
It's super weird that fusions and snipers are now heavy weapons.

Its how they were designed in the early stages of Destiny 1 as well.

I don't really understand the hate in here

Tasty notice: Weapons both say "Weapon Mod Not Applied" so ya know, implications there.
Also character had no artifact slot but did have a locked slot below the class item slot.
