Destiny 2 (PC and other things)

[Kalyx triaD]

Here is a compilation of everything we know about Destiny 2. If I missed anything, please tell me along with the source you confirmed this from so that I can add it to the list. If you want me to give you the source for anything listed here, let me know and I will provide. Game: --Xbox One and PS4 editions of the game to release September 8, 2017. --PC edition of the game to release at a later date. --PC edition is releasing at a later date to make the game feel designed for PC as well to not be "just a port." --Xbox One and PS4 editions are capped at 30 FPS (Xbox Scorpio TBD) --PC will run an uncapped framerate. --Beta dates expected to be revealed at E3 (Will Update) --Season Pass available for preorder, with the first expansion to be related to Osiris and the second to be related to Rasputin. --Destiny 2 will run a Dedicated Servers/P2P hybrid. --Vanilla max level will be level 20 and max light is unknown. --You will be able to travel from place to place in your director without needing to go to orbit. Gameplay: --Gunplay and UI to remain the same as Destiny 1, with a few minor changes. --Subclass perk trees have been simplified to two paths to choose from. These paths require an item to unlock. --Each class has a class ability, with Hunters having a Shadestep 2.0, Warlocks having a placeable rift that heals or gives you bonus damage (think a current Ward of Dawn without the bubble, just effects), and Titans having a placeable barrier. --Each class ability has different upgrades. --The following subclasses are being improved, but are more or less the same as D1 subclasses: Gunslinger, Nightstalker, Voidwalker, Stormcaller, Striker and Sunbreaker. --The following subclasses are being replaced: Sunsinger, Defender and Bladedancer. --Dawnblade is the new Warlock solar subclass, which gives you the ability to fly and chuck flaming swords. (Gameplay already available) --Sentinel is the new Titan void subclass, which gives you a shield that you can throw, hit stuff with and use to defend. Think the Aegis from Vault of Glass that you can throw and doesn’t have a “defense buble.” (Gameplay at E3) --Arcstrider is the new Hunter arc subclass, which is basically a MUCH more agile Bladedancer with a pole instead of a blade. It has been said by Bungie that this subclass makes good use of the Hunter’s dodge ability. --Titans and Warlocks can no longer Titan or Warlock skate. --Driveable tanks are seen in the trailer. --Iron Banner and Trials of the Nine (Same as Trials of Osiris) are game modes as they are now. Gunplay: --Light Machine Guns are not in Destiny 2. SMG’s and Grenade Launchers are now present in Destiny 2. --The weapons system is being reworked. Instead of Primary, Secondary and Heavy Weapons, we now have Kinetic, Energy and Power Weapons. --Kinetic Weapons are non-elemental weapons that include Hand Cannons, Auto Rifles, Pulse Rifles, Scout Rifles, SMG’s and Sidearms. --Energy Weapons are elemental weapons that include Hand Cannons, Auto Rifles, Pulse Rifles, Scout Rifles, SMG’s and Sidearms. --Power Weapons are elemental or non-elemental weapons that include Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, Fusion Rifles, Rocket Launchers and Grenade Launchers. --Bosses and higher health enemies are being adjusted to compensate for these changes. --Enemy Guardians in PVP now require a few more shots from each Kinetic or Energy weapon to kill. --Melee’s now three-shot in PVP. --Sticky Grenades no longer one-shot in PVP. --Power Ammo spawns more frequently in PVP, but only the person who picks it up gets the ammo. --In the Crucible, Power Weapons will deal more damage to a super of the same element (Ex: Solar Weapon does more damage to Gunslinger). --All supers are now a two-shot kill from other supers. --Swords are also confirmed to be in Destiny 2. Armor: --Intellect, Discipline and Strength values are no longer on armor and no longer affect cooldown time for abilities. --Armor, Recovery and Agility are no longer customizable through subclass perk nodes, but through armor. --From what we have seen, Hunter armor is more agility focused, Warlock armor is more recovery focused, and Titan armor is more armor focused. --Artifacts are no longer in the game, but have been replaced by Clan Banners. --We have yet to see what Clan Banners do. Exotics: --We have seen four confirmed exotic weapons as of now: Dubious Volley (Exotic Rocket Launcher), Riskrunner (Exotic SMG), Sweet Business (Exotic Auto Rifle) and Sunshot (Exotic Hand Cannon). --Bungie has stated that the rarity of exotics will be in the middle of Year One and Year Three. Story: --The vanilla story will have more cutscenes than Destiny and all of the expansions did combined. --We will lose our powers, but regain the via a shard of the Traveler in the European Dead Zone. --Current planets include Earth, Nessus, Io and Titan. --As of now, we will be seeing the Cabal, Vex, SIVA Fallen and Hive in vanilla Destiny 2. --The first mission is not Homecoming, as shown in the gameplay reveal. There will be a tutorial mission beforehand. --One social space is confirmed as of now, which is the Farm. More, perhaps? Crucible: --New and improved UI that shows who on both teams has a super. --The game calls out when and where power ammo is picked up, and by whom. --The game tells when somebody uses a super. --Kinetic and Energy weapons take a few more shots to kill than current Primaries and Sidearms. --Not too much has changed otherwise that we now of right now.
