Hey all,
News about destiny 2 has fallen by the wayside. We are left with only rumours of it being pushed back to 2017. Seeing as we don't know a whole lot, I decided to make a list of things I wish we knew about destiny 2.
PvE:
Missions: story missions will be re worked into patrol. As you explore you will find areas that open up quest chains. Missions will still be replayable in the mission select (with higher difficulties)
Questing system: similar to TTK, there will be quest chains. Factions, vanguard, crucible, locations and other npcs will provide quest chains. All quest chains will have unique encounters and rewards.
Patrol: patrol will encompass more of the game. There will be more hidden items throughout the world, including 1 time chests, collectables, and unique creatures. Patrol will also have friendly npcs throughout who provide quests and objectives. Enemies scale more to level, and will include a max level option to keep it interesting.
Public events: public events will include an element that brings more players together. Starting with several areas that pull 2-3 players each and then a larger ending that brings all those players to tackle a much larger enemy. More warning will be given to players so they know where the action is. There are also smaller public events like the court of oryx.
Story: the game will have one, and more cinematics/character interactions
Fireteams: limit increased to 6 for most activities. Players will scale *down only* to party leader.
Endgame: nightfall, weekly, raid, dailies, new Poe, as well as weekly quest chains, speed run events and modified playlists.
Areas: several new areas will be added to the game. Expect area to be filled with more content similar to the dreadnaught. We will have access to old Chicago, eastern flood zone, European biosphere, the last city, new areas on moon, venus, Mars as well as mercury, Saturn, Jupiter moons, and Europa. There is also rumours of a secret area outside of our galaxy.
PvP
Game types: a lot more rotation has been added, swat mode (no shield radar or abilities), weapon modes (one weapon each week that is only available, example: everyone only has gjallarhorns), capture the flag, rush, etc...
Balance: gun balance will be separated from pve. Special weapons will be stronger but ammo harder to obtain and more limited.
Rewards: crucible will give rewards based on achievements/performance. Crucible will have weekly goals that give bigger rewards. Crucible rewards will be better for crucible.
Maps: there will be at least 10 maps with large and small variants of each. There will also be community created maps added free in the future.
Loot system
Weapons: adding more customization through scopes, barrels, stocks and grips. You can also find elemental orbs which add 1 of the 3 elements.
Armour: adding armour sets to the game. More than one set will be max level. You will be able to transmog armour.
Loot: loot will be more attached to quests giving specific rewards and less rng. Vanguard, crucible, factions, nightfall, raid and quests will each have unique weapons and armour sets.
Trading: you can now trade with players in your fireteam who are with you when you acquire some items. No auction house ever, no loot farming ever.
Matchmaking
Lfg: non traditional lfg that let's you find players who are looking for specific activities. A menu in game thats lets you select activities, difficulties, and checkpoints, or search through these players to invite and form a group. Accessible in activities when players leave.
Matchmaking: added to all modes as an option for a quick group.
Levelling
Subclasses: 3 new for each class
Light level: works similar to ttk
Vehicles
More have been added to game, in pvp and pve. Ships, tanks and sparrows will be acquired in game and usable in many activities.
Ghost: does more than open doors and tell you nothing. Can light up areas and enemies.
Enemies: a new race plus new enemies for each race. New vehicles for each race.
Silver has been removed from the game, sparrows, emotes and emblems are now found as secrets throughout patrol.
And just for shits, space battles!
Did I miss anything? I can edit it in.
