I am sure they will give D1 players a starting reward in D2 . . . a free shader

I laughed but you're probably right.

A XP booster, exclusive founders sparrow and ghost along with a materials boost and free weapons that will be outdated as soon as you level up.

Which they give PC players for free as a 'Sorry we missed you in D1.' present

Seriously though I hope they announce dedicated servers for PvP in D2.

That's a long way to write "Spaz"

That would be lovely, but won't hold my breath

I just hope they decide to open a couple of more datacenters out of Nevada to improve connection but can't see that happening, they specifically chose Nevada due to its prime location, no extreme weather events are expected in the desert.

Prime location to what? Area 51? Seriously the world is centred around SW Sydney!

I guess with PC's entering the scene the chances of dedi servers are high and we'll most likely get a 60fps title. The more I think about it, the more I'm becoming OK with them starting fresh, D1 was an experiment and it turned out to be a huge success for Bungie and Activision so this next one should be great especially without last gen holding them back.

New character might get me back in, I feel like I have let my current one slide so much I can never catch up.

Easy fix Ant. Set up a time and a couple of us will help you fly through the missions you have. You will rank up quick smart. Also being close to Spaz's awesome Titan generally makes most people a little more awesome themselves. It's a perk I have

and all silent agreements/exit clauses with Microsoft will have expired.

I am sure Bungie have seen the impact Blizzard and OW have had in the PC competitive scene in just a few months and want to break into that space and the $$. I hope they can combine a good PvE MMO-FPS with a proper competitive PvP platform for tournis. Hard to do, but D1 was a good attempt given all the restrictions.

Quote

According to Bungie, sequels “represent the start of a new adventure for every player,” which means there needs to be new worlds and stories to tell.

This also means new loot, powers and the like will be acquired. Because of this, power, possessions, Eververse-related items and currency won’t carry over from Destiny into Destiny 2.

However, the studio plans to preserve character personalization of player Guardians. This means class, race, gender, face, hair, and marking selections for characters which have completed the Black Garden story mission and are at level 20 and above will carry over into Destiny 2.

They are going to change it to a point and click adventure...

In other words, other than that above image, not a lot of official information out there.

Destiny could never be a point and click adventure, it would need an actual story for that

Apparently we'll be coming across some little towns when we're deployed and able to pick up quests while we're out instead of having to return to the Tower all the time.

All rumours though.

What the hell will all those folks in the tower do if we never have to visit them

They'd just need to stick vaults in these towns too!

Gotta love Nathan Fillion / Cayde haha.. looking forward to seeing what they can do with D2, regardless of Destiny's failings, easily one of my all time favourite games and I'll be in for D2 for sure.

Bring back the dinklebot!

My main wish for d2, is just for there to be a lot more to do, and i'd really like a crafting system.

Pass on the dinklebot... he was so boring.

If this trailer is anything to go by, the character development and focus on individual stories is going to be a big focus by Bungie. Looking forward to the reveal on Friday morning.

And when you say 'focus on stores' you mean 'pay to play' and 'pay for everything' ....................
