So, as most of you know, we will have a paid expansion making its way into our games this fall. I'm opening this thread for the purpose of speculation towards what will be included in the expansion. It may also be used as a wish list of sorts. With E3 only slightly more than a month away, let the speculation begin!
[b][u]What we know:[/u][/b]
[b]-[/b]High Moon Studios was brought in to help with the design of a new area of Mars called "Pyramidion", as per Kotaku (who have been mostly spot on about Destiny for about a year now).
[b]-[/b]The Pyramidion area contains a new strike and a new raid.
[b]-[/b]The descriptions of the latest PS Exclusive armor speak heavily of Mars, the moving of its sands, and the revealing of "Vasconia", as well as mentions of the Jovian system and a debt we owe to the Queen.
So, unless I'm missing something, the only storyline that makes sense heading into this fall would be from the "Outbound Signal" mission on the Dreadnought, in which we reach the Bridge of the crashed Cabal ship right after they have successfully sent a distress call to the Empire. This leads me to believe that the expansion will [i]finally[/i] be Cabal-centric, and that the storyline will revolve around stopping the fleet arriving in our solar system just in time to prevent them from activating the Warmind Charlemagne after uncovering Pyramidion (what I believe is a working title for Vasconia, much like TTK was listed as "Comet"). There are plenty of hints to support this theory in game, and (I believe, but not 100% sure) that the massive drill inside the cave at Rubicon Wastes has been getting progressively deeper with each expansion(?). A Cabal themed expansion would also bring the game full circle from Vanilla focusing on the Vex, TDB on Hive, HoW on Fallen, and TTK on Taken.
What do you guys think? They know damn well that we want our Forge of Gods expansion. Good thing E3 is right around the corner.
[b]Edit:[/b] Corrected some spelling and grammatical mistakes, and also just realized Byf recently put out a video detailing nearly everything I mentioned. Here's the link. It's definitely worth 15 minutes of your time.

[b]Edit 2:[/b] JakuSlayer is just a troll who evidently has no life outside of his mother's basement. Disregard.
[b]Edit 3:[/b] Here are some concepts of Cabal themed armor I found.

1 ReplyWHY IS YOUR TITLE YELLING AT ME MAKE IT STOP I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU

I just want to se the warmind Charlamange. he needs to wake up, Rasputin can't keep him safe forever.
-
How about raid armor? Titans: Collosus inspired armor Tards: Psion inspired armor Warlocks: ?
-
2 strikes one ps4 only. 1 story mission One raid. No new areas. That's my prediction
-
Wasn't high moon also helping with destiny 2? Also poor high moon studio. They can never make their own games again. They are not slaves to bungie.

4 RepliesIf bungie were smart they would give free DLC. After all what is the point of micro transactions if you're still going to charge for dlc. That's just being cheap and pathetic.
-
2 RepliesIt'd be cool if psions took control of one of those Golden Age giant robots and that was the final raid boss.

3 RepliesEdited by NinjaMatic: 5/10/2016 12:30:35 PMOooh. I haven't speculated about Destiny in a long time! I'm in agreement with the masses that it pretty much has to be a Cabal expansion. I think we're due for a space turtle invasion. All of this talk about Pyramidion is exciting and has me flashing back to the concept art of the onyx pyramid ships rising through cloud over what could have been Mars. Who do they belong to? They don't fit the architecture of any of the enemies we've faced. But that brings me to another piece of dev art... the 5th enemy race... you know, the ones with the triangular ships on the yellow back ground? I operated under the assumption that the Taken were said 5th race, but they might not be. They were essentially an off shoot of the hive. How about the Jovians? They are a fifth race that has been exceedingly elusive. Xür shows up, is sketchy, and leaves. I wonder if the Jovians are somehow connected to Pyramidion. I'd like to delve into the 9 more as well. The 9 had ties to the reef. Perhaps settling our debt to the queen will involve the 9 somehow. And finally, I'd like to dig into the war minds a little more than Russian babble I don't understand. We've been fed teasers about Charlemagne for a long time now... I'd love to find him and move this plot point foreward a bit.... or at least hire a translator for Rasputin. What would I like to see next? 1. Dead orbit reports a massive Cabal fleet is inbound. 2. We realise we need help... Rasputin wakes up and contacts Charlemagne but something is keeping him from booting up so we have to go do it manually. 3. Upon arrival we find that we are finally at odds with the 9 who want to protect Charlemagne or keep it for themselves, or Charlemagne is one of the 9. The Jovians finally make an appearance and are affiliated with the 9 and arrive to secure the site. 4. We discover that Pyramidion was actually an Awoken City and the reason the reef has been their home is because the 9 have been extorting them... we can settle our debt by reclaiming Pyramidion for the Awoken. 5. Charlemagne comes online, activating his defences, and hopefully tells us a bit about the fall, the darkness, and the Exo. 6. The Cabal enter the solar system and head straight for Earth and Mars hot on the heels of evacuating Awoken and we clobber them forcing them to retreat beyond the cuiper belt. 7. With a massive fleet of Cabal war ships lurking in the solar system, and the impending threat of orbital bombardment from the Cabal fleet tossing meteors our way, we find an urgent need for a militarized fleet... and it just so happens Charlemagne and our new Besties, the Awoken, have one buried under the deserts of Mars. 8. Onyx Pyramid ships rise from the surface of Mars. Charlemagne's primary function was the production of weaponry and the machines of war. With the promise of a boon of golden age technology, a strong alliance with the Awoken, and the hopes of starting to reclaim our solar system the credits roll.... after 45 minutes of credits the Exo stranger is seen lurking like a champ and says something vague that implies she'll play a more prominent roll in Destiny 2, and that the Jovians are much bigger players than we ever realized.

2 RepliesRemember what happened when people got hyped about Destiny at the E3 before its release? Don't get too excited.

8 RepliesEdited by WulfPak666: 5/7/2016 1:45:46 PMWhen i hear Cabal raid, all i can think about is, 1. Centurion grenade launcher spam city 2. A raid boss version of Rockets Mc Dickface 3. Mudda Phukkin Phalanx insta kill shield 4. Psion, cross map Psi blasts.. How can you want a raid with all that?! Granted, a raid full of taken captains and taken phalanx would be just as ass.

3 RepliesImagine a Cabal themed raid centered around Charlegmagne, where groups have to perform specific tasks, like a section where one guardian would have to be operating a 'terminal' to input codes or whatever, whilst others fought off enemies, bodyguarded the first guardian and performed other duties.

1 ReplyJokes on you, we're going to fight Eris & Savathun in another hive expansion :) Maybe even Crotas brother

1 ReplyDon't the Cabal destroy planets and moons just for getting in their way?? I don't think we stand much of a chance smh.
-
1 ReplyI'm really gonna shit if for some reason there is no raid with this expansion. Remember HoW? The forums will burn, and run red with the blood of our enemies.

3 RepliesEdited by StephenBRZ: 5/8/2016 8:18:17 PMLet's hope we see some Europa too! :) If you look up the Infinite Lines cloak for hunters, it says something about a [u]frozen[/u] body. So I really hope Europa is part of it.

2 RepliesI'm more exited about the Cabal raid mechanics.

1 ReplyI'm fairly sure the massive shard of Vex technology visible in the background of Crossroads is Pyramidion.

5 RepliesEdited by A KOOL POP TART: 5/7/2016 2:32:55 PMIf its paid, I won't buy it because Destiny 2 will literally right be right around the corner by the time it comes out. The only thing that will get me to buy it is if they introduce a ton of PvE activities.

2 RepliesThis sounds awesome, but am I the only one that would love to see the cabal's fascination with the vex move to Mercury as well as on Mars? Never been to the lighthouse, so the only time I've ever explored anywhere there is during the Titan subclass quest!
-
Edited by Astartes Marine: 5/7/2016 1:39:39 PMAll I know is I want some Cabal weaponry. I know it's xenos tech but it's probably the closest thing to Bolters and Heavy Bolters that Destiny will ever have.

It is going to be a $49.99 15min strike a raid that will last 30min and every weapon armor from ttk will be in it just new paint oh and then the forums will light up with the nerffers and bungie will listen and there will be nerfs all around totally waiting for this expansion

2 RepliesEdited by netherslayer777: 5/7/2016 2:51:50 PMEverybody who doubts the legitimacy and content this update will bring misses a key point: Activision announced this alongside Destiny 2 in a shareholders meeting/in an announcement of their roadmap. As a company, you don't do this if the content is A.) not paid, B.) not dramatic. You especially don't bring it on the same level as Destiny 2 unless it is big.
