[b]NOTICE:[/b] Once, I start saying "confirmed" throughout the list, it's all hypothetical. For example, if I say he "confirmed" this- I mean by his own word. Not by Bungie's word. He simply has a fair amount of credibility after hitting the nail right on the head for quite a couple features.
So, this guy spot-on predicted the starting plotline of Destiny 2 and the name of it's main enemy. In addition to this, he also predicted a couple other coincidences as well.
This leads us to consider the possibility of the entire post being true or at least having some truth to it.
For those who don't want to read through the entire discussion, I'll post important points he predicted.
➟ He predicted the Cabal Invasion, calling them the "redguard" which was a small difference.
You could brush off his calling them "redguard" as the base concept for "Red Legion", the confirmed name of the actual invaders of the tower.
➟ He predicted pets. Titans get a [b]Lynx type Creature[/b], Hunters get a[b] large slinking reptile [/b]and Warlocks get an [b]alien raven type flying creature[/b]. This is [i]very[/i] significant. The hats recently revealed by Gamestop showed a Lion-cat like creature, a Snake and a bird-like creature on each of them respectively. Keep in mind, this post was made in [b]February[/b].
➟ Ship fighting. The emblems, the beta and a couple other things have led us to believe that Ship Fighting is most likely going to be a feature. I won't say it's confirmed, but with the other things he got right and what we've seen so far, it's highly likely.
Now, everything after this is completley hypothetical. None of this has been confirmed, but all of this is/was supposedly going to be in D2 according to this employee. There's quite a lot of points to visit her, but I promise it's worth the read.
[spoiler]• New Enemy that has striking similarities to the flood. Body snatchers. They're called the Grundel and they use "Infested Rigs" which are basically scrapper hauling vehicles that are "half mad max" and "half cancerous growths".
• Siva comes back and you utilize it to revive a Russian Tank.
• Owning exotic weapons and armor pieces in D1 unlocks cosmetic features in D2.
• [b]Fallen is a playable race, "fallen-redeemed"[/b] - imagining Variks popping a defender bubble made me laugh quite a bit. Not sure how subclasses are going to work if this is true.
• Transmogrification is a feature.
• Each subzone on each planet is 4 times the size of every patrol Area of every D1 Map.
• Vehicles now have a hijack option similar to Halo.
• Light system more similar to Diablo 3's Paragon leveling system.
• Grimoire accessible in-game.
• PvP and PvE are separated, PvE versions of guns described as being "Borderlands-y"
• Full Gear Sets give set bonuses.
• [b]There will be an open-PvP area similar to the Divison's Dark Zone.[/b]
• Ship Fighting.
• There will be areas only reachable with certain mounts, for example a Manta Ray on Venus.
• Weapons will have purchasable mods instead of quasi talent trees, better mods will be locked behind some sort of "lockbox" system.
• Game has an option to go into 3rd person.
• [b]He admitted that they cut up D1 into expansion passes intentionally and they felt horrible about it. He said "Luckily, this won't be happening with Destiny 2" as a follow-up[/b].
• Exotics will be more rare, but some will behave more like the Iron Artifacts- altering your class abilities. Exotics already did this to a degree, but they want to impact your class more impact-fully than "bullets refilling a headshot" as he described.
• They're experimenting with a concept inspired by Left 4 Dead 2's ammunition crates. One example as "ammo consumables that give you one full clip of elemental damage bullets" - They wanted you to think "Should I use heavy synths for the boss or an elemental synth for the burn type?"
• There is an SMG Exotic that "shreds shields regardless of element." He also added on "it's nasty when paired with a high-powered shotgun. This implies that the SMG would most likely be a primary weapon, but what's also strange about this phrase is that I doubt he would describe a high-impact shotgun being "nasty" in PvE. This implies that we have [u]noticeably[/u] elemental shields in D2.
• They're adding Raid matchmaking, but only when it's not at the current "tier" as he described. They're going to be testing said matchmaking with a 'Paradox' VoG at launch. You'll apparently be interacting with Praedyth throughout the raid.
• Memory of Timur was confirmed to be a test for something.
• They tried wallrunning cuz Titanfall 2 made it fun but they said it was shit so they scrapped it. Same with Trading, the concept was considered but scrapped.
• There are a lot of new daily quests in the NPC hubs (Tower, Reef- etc. Areas like that) along with elements like [b]world bosses[/b] and [b]rare spawns with hunting bounties[/b].
• More bonuses for playing with friends. [b]In-Game clan system with clan chat and in-game clan events.[/b]
• No body modifications. Silhouette theory. Lots more intimate face modification.
• The Traveler uplifts a society to basically be a cannon fodder to give it time to run. Destiny 2 will not reveal why the Traveler is doing what its doing but it will show you what the Traveler is.
• Pvp is a rotating gamemode. You [b]cannot[/b] always go into PvP.[/spoiler]

So like 1/3 of this is true. I think that's a good ratio.

2 RepliesSo, after the gameplay reveal, when it became obvious that NONE of this clown's so-called "revelations" were anything other than an attention-seeker's bizarre fanfic... and as many pointed out, this was obvious IN ADVANCE... are you going to admit that you bamboozled yourself into giving him free publicity, and should have exercised a little critical thinking instead of swallowing this BS hook, line, and sinker?

Lol. No. It's a BS post. Sorry.

4 RepliesNot a Bungie employee. States clearly in the thread.

15 RepliesDestiny 1 was Beta, CONFIRMED.

3 RepliesStep one: Scream "reeeeeee" Step two: place greasy fingers on keyboard. Step three: Make a mary-sue version of destiny one, call it destiny two, and disappoint several people.

3 RepliesLook at the date this was posted on the other forums, February 2017. They talk about the lion, snake and bird. Now look at the game stop hays that were just leaked. Lion, snake, bird. I'm worried this is all largely true. That'd be so disappointing. Flying mounts, pet creatures, 20 year jump in storyline? Are you kidding me?
-
5 RepliesHonestly, the big red flag I see is the whole "Your guardian disappeared and you play as a rookie." story bit. That part doesn't make sense to me seeing as how we're going to be able to bring over our characters from D1. I'm gonna call BS on this thing.
-
I'm guessing there's maybe about 7.892% truth to all of that. But seriously, could you imagine if they did setup PvP like that?... Streamers, and Youtubers would be pissed. (As would I. That's my favorite thing to do in a FPS.) Bungie isn't going to just throw away all of that free advertisement, or cut it in half. Bungie may F it up when it comes to balance, and story, and stuff like that; but when it comes to the business aspect, you know they're pretty good at lining their pockets. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. If Bungie doesn't make money, we don't get anymore Destiny. I'm just saying, Bungie isn't going to do anything to get rid of free, constant advertisement.

Why the -blam!- would they make PVP a rotating gamemode?!

15 RepliesDo you know what substantiating means? Cuz this is not that.

Slap on all the toppings you want, Destiny is still going to go the route of CoD.

This is obviously BS. The "leaker" says that the vanguard leads will be killed, however all three are shown in the teaser trailer live and we'll after the tower is destroyed

2 RepliesEdited by bFLY: 5/15/2017 9:41:24 PMI will never understand why people can't just wait for official reveals. These are the same people that will be complaining about the reveal being boring because they knew everything days in advance lol. Or worse, people get hyped for things that are just speculation and turn out to not be true, thus leading to disappointment in the game before it even launches. I'm going in completely blind, I'll enjoy it a lot more that way.

1 ReplyI really want that 3rd person mode option.

Nothing has hinted at ships dear, the emblems have been associated with ours class for years. We aren't getting pets,

"They don't want to cut up destiny 2 into expansion passes like they did destiny 1". Meanwhile in the real world...

1 ReplyYou did read far enough to where he starts throwing racial slurs and when asked why he's not answering questions he replies "cause I don't work for bungie dumbass" right?

Edited by A KOOL POP TART: 5/16/2017 10:11:42 PMIf theory is true, we have to start over with a new character anyway. LOL

9 RepliesPlease i hope the "pet" thing is wrong. That would be the most idiotic thing to add to destiny. This is a fps, not a damn mmorpg. Keep that stuff out of this game. I'd love to see more CQB weapons like an SMG in this game though. The reveal is only days away so I'd take everything said about Destiny 2 before the actual reveal with a grain of salt.

Lol they will not make pvp rotating game mode.

4 RepliesI like the idea of a paragon leveling system. seems like that may have been the line that bungie was trying to go with when we had level and light, they just couldn't quite get it right..
