Rant On the Topic of Fake DLC Leaks

<Now that Forsaken has been revealed and the "Summoning of the Nine" leak was proven false, like so many others before it... I'm taking the time to go on a sort of rant about these things. These fake leaks that spawn from people that are looking for a noice troll and those that believe them. Let me go back to the Warmind leaks, since those were recent and I remember each one clearly. [b]Gods of Mars 1:[/b] For a long time Warmind was under the name "Gods of Mars". This was after a supposed screenshot from a... I think PSN store. Point is, everyone believe it until Bungie flat-out said the title. [b]Heralds of Nezarec:[/b] The first major leak I can remember came early 2018 and was going to feature a new race, new location entirely, and about 10 campaign missions and 3 strikes. It was going to be about a crashed ship on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, for which we've seen concept art of. A ship would have crashed into the moon and release a new enemy race led by Nezarec. The new race would've simply been called Heralds. Rasputin would respond to the invading force with an army of Frames, which would become another enemy. Ana Bray would be our resident helper and track down the source of the Dark Incursion... which would have been buildup towards D3 when the Darkness arrives. The entire area would be called the Frigid Wastes and yeah that's about all that's worth mentioning. The immediate problem with this leak was that it was the wrong location. If we had confirmation or we had no idea that Warmind would be on Mars, this would've been a solid leak and very promising. Unfortunately, it was short-lived because everyone with a brain knew the DLC would be on Mars. [b]Gods of Mars 2:[/b] Bless the heart of those who believe this one would be a thing. This leak was about a place on Mars called the Frigid Wastes. Charlemagne (first problem) has awakened and imprisoned Rasputin. It was your job to work with Ana Bray to uncover the secrets of Clovis Bray while combating "Remnants" and freeing Rasputin. Big issue; Charlemagne is -blam!-ing dead. To be fair, so was Ana Bray, but I have a hard time believing cultists who don't even have the mental capacity to deal with their own Device, so she gets a pass. The only way Charlemagne could be alive is through the Nine. Consult the Grimoire Card and A Sudden Death's lore tab for more information. [b]Gods of Mars 3:[/b] This was the most realistic possibility out of every single leak, even the next one. This one was about Rasputin detecting an extrasolar threat (probably the Darkness tbh) and trying to destroy the Traveler. You would work with Ana Bray to shut him down or at least contain him. The DLC would include 2 new enemy factions, the Crow Splicers and Constructs. Constructs being the Frames that murdered the Iron Lords and Crow Splicers probably just being the HoD version of Devil Splicers. Easy reskins. It was simple, perfect for reskinning and pretty promising. I believed this one... er... parts of it. I wasn't too sure about the Splicer bit. I whole-heartedly believed that Rasputin would be the bad guy. It was -blam!-ing perfect. After Warmind, now he'll do -blam!-ing nothing and get absolutely destroyed when D3 rolls around. We get to see his character wasted after what was admittedly a decent speech. [b]The Fallen Warmind:[/b] A solid week before Warmind's title was revealed, I caught wind of this next leak being spread around. About Rasputin vanishing on Mars, preventing the rise of a corrupted Warmind, and exploring the Deep Stone Crypt. None of this came to fruition. The issue came with no enemy reveal. Also Warmind's title was revealed a week after, as mentioned earlier. [b]Summoning of the Nine:[/b] And we return to form with Nezarec. A name mentioned in a worthless Warlock exotic being taken to seriously. This is the "leak" that inspired me to do this meaningless post. To be fair, half of it seemed sound. It had the Awoken and Fallen, with the slight potential of Fallen allies, just as many had theorized. It was going to take place in the Reef, just like it was confirmed. The issues come with the Nine bit. While having the Nine themselves playing a part in the story isn't bad on its own, the rest come from the enemies. The Nastareth. The big issue with this name is that its a reference to ONE Grimoire Card. Not to mention, the name was uttered by a Taken beast... good buddy Sylok. Then we come to their leader, Nezarec. Before we go on, may I mention that Nezarec is a name from PRE-GOLDEN AGE TEXT? That means it's older than our contact with the Traveler. There's no way in actual hell the name should have any meaning besides the ramblings of ANOTHER cult. PLEASE STOP BELIEVING HIS NAME WILL BE RELEVANT IN D2. Also 10 story missions seem short for a major expansion. Even vanilla D2 had more missions than that. [b]Conclusions:[/b] With Forsaken now revealed and people finally believing everyone whose paid attention to the end credits scene, we've come to the final 2 releases. DLC4 and D3. Everyone with a brain knows that both of those belong to Savathun and the Darkness respectively. That being said. If you see a leak for DLC4 without the name Savathun in it, DO NOT BELIEVE IT. SERIOUSLY. If you see some stupid shit like "Nezarec's Coming" or departure of some bullshit like that, don't -blam!-ing believe it. If you even SEE the name Nezarec in a leak for DLC4, it's -blam!-ing fake. If you see the word "Nastareth" in a leak for DLC4, it's -blam!-ing fake. DLC4 is about Savathun and we're gonna go back to the moon-sized spaceship that is Oryx's Dreadnaught. Rant over.>

    This sounds like a bunch of made up garbage. Never heard of any of these so called leaks - and if they even exist, they were passed around in an exclusively small community of idiots, which even if you don't believe them, you seem to be a part of. Maybe stop talking to and watching media from retards? I also like how you're here telling us definitively what DLC 4 will be about - even though you're bitching about people with fake leaks. Apparently you know for a definitive fact DLC 4 is Savathun and the Dreadnaught - care to source that, or should I just write up an APA for "Your Ass" ? You're literally as bad as the people spreading fake shit. Log out and don't come back.

      I was really mad at all the leaks that included the Deep Stone Crypt. It’s not a -blam!-ing physical place. Exos fight huge armies of people they knew there. Do we just stumble in there and say hello? It’s in their -blam!-ing minds! Do these people know anything about the crypt other than the name? And when certain YouTubers started calling the MULTIPLE canons around Rasputin the Deep Stone Crypt I lost all hope.

    • So then what happens if the DLC has both Nezarec and Savathun in it? Checkmate, atheists. Mind blown.

        Don’t believe everything you read on the internet and be skeptical of everything. That’s my suggestion to everyone.

      • I feel like when the title of gods of mars was shown it was shown with curse of Osiris with it so I believe that the title was Gods of Mars because of the hive god Nokris and the worm god Xol. So I feel like bungie had enough time to change the title.

        • The actual dlc story is worse then most of these leaks and actually the actual story has more plot holes then some of them XD. Like zavala having a personality change about his idea of using Rasputin. Rasputin being on mars only was bull because we released him on the universe already in destiny 1 so he was not trapped or on mars only. Anna bray being alive for some reason. A worm god on mars for some reason and we kill it in your second encounter with it. Zavala waiting for you in the warmind some how some way when the door was locked and everything and despite zavala not wanting to do anything with Rasputin in the DLC. I have seen people say the warmind story was good...... and I always say ......”ummm..... how??? Why would you ever think that”

            You can't tell people not to believe stupid shit, then say what "dlc 4" is going to be, by saying stupid shit. They said the annual pass wouldn't be heavy on story content. Savathun won't be a part of any D2 DLC. If I had to guess, that's reserved for D3 or it's DLC.

              So...... what you're saying is: "Don't believe anything on the internet unless it originates from the documented primary source." I thought rational adults already did that?

              • See, this is not new to me at all. Playing World of Warcraft, you get expansion "leaks" all the time that turn out to be utter horseshit. WoW fans are insanely diligent in their digging and datamining, which means that is also a crowd of people out there just waiting to prank them with invented expansion leaks. You get people looking over trademark registrations and taking names from there and inventing entire expansions. Which leads us to the funniest one of all: See, a few years back, Activision Blizzard filed a trademark registration that people picked up on as being, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the next WoW expansion. People took a name and ran with it, speculating on every aspect of an expansion and how the name tied into it, going wild with ideas and shooting down anyone who thought that it wasn't going to be the next WoW expansion. It was not until Blizzard announced the next expansion was going to be called Warlords of Draenor that people started admitting they were wrong...and until this day, people still insist that one day this expansion will come. Oh, right, forgot to tell you what name was registered: [i]The Dark Below.[/i] Yeah, for some inscrutable reason, Activision Blizzard filed for that trademark for Bungie. Needless to say, to this day people insisting World of Warcraft: The Dark Below will happen crack me up.

                      Honestly the leak on 4chan about Septembers DLC sounded better than what got revealed I think the lesson here is if it sounds too good then its fake.

                      • I’ve never heard of any of these. Forums, YouTube or twitch. You’ve got to go to some dark corners to find falsified material. If it doesn’t come from Bungie, it is not a reliable source... of information.

                          • You really should take “leaks” with a grain of salt. Nearly every time it’ll turn out to be completely wrong or not the full picture. There’s no real point in ranting about it as the internet is the internet, you can’t control people who like to troll and spread the wrong information
