I'm gonna get ahead of the curve here and just claim that any additional Destiny content was in the base game but cut. Including Destiny 2. There. I win. I'm the craziest conspiracy nut of all.

That's a wizard.

So you're arguing that a pre-release wizard design is Oryx? Wow.

Still baffles me that most primary weapons weren't what they are now (Scout Rifles used to be Pulse Rifles, Auto Rifles used to be Scout Rifles, etc), and the upgrade system/skill tree advancement was totally different. That, and Thunderlord got completely overhauled, flavor text and all (the flavor text now is cooler, but still). I think people don't realize that if you bought Destiny (and subsequent DLC) in the first year, you essentially payed for a year of early access to the game; I do agree that the real Destiny releases this September. While I'm personally fine with that (since I do actually enjoy the game), it's sh*tty that they had to cut the game's "original" content into DLCs. That said, I'll play devils advocate and say that if Destiny had actually truly waited until [i]this[/i] September to release instead of last year, it probably wouldn't have sold as well; starting this August, it's basically non-stop, pre-established AAA titles being released until the holiday is over. Activision [i]probably[/i] knew this ahead of time (from my understanding gaming companies have a basic understanding of when other studios are dropping their games, often a couple years ahead of time) and pushed to get it released [i]last[/i] year, when nothing big was really coming out to truly maximize sales (If I were Acti-Bungie, I wouldn't wanna drop an entirely new IP a month before Halo 5, either). And (unfortunately) in order to do that, some base content had to get changed to DLC. Of course, [i]that doesn't make it right[/i]. But it happened, and it's in the past; no use crying over spilled milk now. The only thing we can do is hope the next two DLCs after TTK (if the Comet leak was accurate, which it's turning out to be, we still have two DLCs before Destiny 2) aren't as lackluster as TDB or HoW. Though Bungie has been a tad slow on fixing a few things (sometimes important things), for the most part they have listened to the community and actually have improved the quality of Destiny over the last year. Here's to hoping they keep listening and continue to improve upon their game, [i]and[/i] their own mistakes. Only time will tell.

I know right? They're just like the government. -blam!-ing cutting out content. There's a perfect house right here and I can't live in it?

Wizard = Oryx Got it!

The game couldn't have come out a year ago if they put all of that in it for one release. And looking at the video it's clearly an early version of a Wizard. It's definitely not Oryx. The ridges of the head are the same W shape as any other wizard, not like Oryx's big long one. That's also a cape, not moth wings and to reiterate what others have said, Oryx has bat wings, not moth wings. If anything they modeled Oryx to be a bigger more badass upgrade of a wizard afterwords.

You do realize that's a wizard not Oryx right? Like you're smart enough to be able to tell the difference? The most obvious is it doesn't have legs.

It doesn't matter. It's their game. They did all the work on it. If they choose to break it into dlcs it's their choice. Your choice is whether or not you enjoy it enough to buy those dlcs.
