Bungie announces Destiny 2 Showcase for Aug 23: “Witness what’s next”

Destiny is a strange beast :D you can´t even play the normal campaign anymore if you bought the game at launch for 60$
But yeah, most old campaigns are removed from the game, not that the story missions were anything too amazing and you couldn´t find players for old raids etc. anyways anymore.
That's because this showcase is more than likely to be about Lightfall. I expect confirmation on the TWAB.
They've been officially a part of Sony for like 3 weeks Im not sure why people are expecting whatever they announce to be impacted at all by that fact.
Yes, but WQ was also announced in August and was originally due to be released the same year. So it's strange that now they are showing the new DLC in August again. Maybe they're so far ahead with Lightfall development that we'll get it this year?
Of course it's probably coming in early 2023, it's just weird.
I tried to jump back into Destiny 2 about 18 months ago and just had no fucking idea what was happening and gave up.
I played a shitload of D1 but D2 at this point is just so overly massive and they locked so much content I didn't play away I feel like I'll never catch up on the story.

Oh yeah now that you mention it, I totally forgot that August stream had it for that same year
Yeah but it was revealed at the start of last season. We still got two more seasons in Year 5.
I tried to hop in this year and I was just so lost - felt like I had to do a lot of busywork to even get my bearings.
If they do, it will be in a blog post. The game doesn't and won't revolve around Sony at all, even with the acquisition.
They will probably talk about the closure of the deal in today's TWAB.
What's wrong with the engine really? Always ran super well on my machine and the game never stopped being beautiful.
Specifically, they told us about Beyond Light in Aug 2020 and then at the same time revealed The Witch Queen and Lightfall. August 2021 when they talked more about TWC they also revealed that they "decided" to expand on more time by adding The Final Shape.
I'm still semi-convinced that TFS will basically bring back all existing Destiny stuff form both games and stick it into one package as a single full game, while also leaving behind the previous gen consoles (it'll be 2024 by then, at least).
Most being 2. The Red War and Forsaken. I don't know that we'd call COO and Warmind real campaigns, but I mean... those and Red War are all year 1, so... We still have Shadowkeep, Beyond Light and The Witch Queen. And parts of Forsaken are still around, at least.
IIRC it's still based on the old engine they did for Halo Reach, and was just expanded upon and iterated and bolted to, etc etc to where it became a detriment to work on. They started reworking it a ton as well as their tooling, so we can get more stuff faster and better patched.

I disagree that it looks even slightly dated. But I either way don't expect any core changes like that til whatever is beyond The Final Shape
On the outset, nothing really. It's showing it's age visually in some spots (draw distance and textures if you really look) but nothing too crazy.
Internally for Bungies development? Tons and tons of issues that they've constantly had to fix in order to sustain the game as long as they have.
Curse of Osiris and Warmind are gone too, and you could make an argument for every seasonal dungeon/activity as being paid content that´s not accessible anymore. But Destiny is a live game you gotta play when the content is new, just gotta accept that :D
Hard disagree. It's got a breath of fresh air with the new consoles. 4K/60 is magnificent.
yeah enginewise it´s ok now with currentgen consoles and pc. Only inventory and vault should be faster and allow loadouts, there seems to still be some memory handling issues with animations loading slow etc.
Makes me curious about the story of the next two seasons. Hoping to see things start escalating to the Witness's arrival.
Yeah, I honestly wouldn't expect to see the effects of Sony's resources until after the Final Shape expansion.

Yeah, but it was the day the 4th Beyond Light season launched. This is one the day the 3rd Witch Queen season launches. It's very strange. They can't have a tie-in from the DLC with the season reveal because there's still one more season to go and they have been doing that for the past 2 DLCs.
My interest for Destiny died when the decided not to make a D3.
The game has become so convoluted and needs a complete reboot.

TBH, I quickly edited my post to add COO and Warmind after I remembered that, oh yeah, those existed (and despite liking Warmind!). Definitely not counting the seasonal stuff because those come and go regularly.
If they can get on PS+ no problem now being part of PlayStation, they will bring attention to it the best they can. Its all about expanding their playerbase through every avenue.
yeah, would still be cool to have a "Legacy Archive" of all old seasonal stuff even if you just want to run them for fun or with friends.
What? First time I hear about subclasses not even being available for some people. Are you sure you're not mistaken with the updates they've done for Void and Solar so far? The subclasses are still there, just different. And some things need to be unlocked by talking to Ikora.
I do think a D3 will come down the line. Or a rebranding to just Destiny. At least one can hope
I thought that was with the D1 engine, but I kinda lost track. Given the quality of the PC port with D2 I figured the engine troubles were over.
Yes please.
But I'd jump on a Destiny refresh of some kind in a heartbeat.
I wonder if it's more than just Lightfall potentially not getting delayed but having the reveal come two seasons before launch is interesting. The past two expansion reveals were followed up by a season that had a very consequential reveal that led directly into the expansion.
Doubt it. They said with the Witch Queen delay that they have always wanted to move from releases in the Fall/End of the year period.
They update the engine with Beyond Light (hence part of the vaulting and subsequent unvaulting) to get them through the Final Shape.
I mean yeah it runs well now. But you have literally no idea what's happening behind the scenes with content creation. This is from back during the Destiny 1 days.
The Messy, True Story Behind The Making Of Destiny
In the summer of 2013, months before they were supposed to ship their next video game, the game developers at Bungie went into panic mode.

Its still the same engine. Obviously its improved and Bungie has made strides to make the engine better, more specifically during the Beyond light era. But there is still lingering technical debt thats not going to make certain things possible because its the same engine and Destiny 2 was never intended to last this long.
Earlier than I expected
Yeah I really just want a proper destiny 3 or something. This game feels old even on PC
It does not need a complete reboot. They did that with Destiny 2 and it was a mistake.
The game does need a better way to welcome new players. This is generally a problem with any long-running MMO though and it's not an easy thing to fix.

Void Subclass Missing. :: Destiny 2 General Discussions
Returning player here, haven't played in a few years and now my Void subclass is literally gone. No quests, can't aquire it again at Ikora, nothing. Quick google searches seem to answer it being a bug WHICH IS OVER 2 MONTHS OLD. How is Bungie too stupid to fix such a major issue for so long...
Seems like it may be fixed though, as i could at least choose the Void subclass on the Destiny 2 Companion app now. I guess it should be there when next i start playing again.
