NEW RENEGADES DLC REVEAL! (Destiny 2 is SAVED!?) – Bungie Livestream Reaction
What is up, guys? It’s your boy Rick Gakis, and today Bungie has a major developer live stream unveiling upcoming content for Destiny 2. On the one hand, we have the official reveal of the Renegades expansion, the next major paid expansion coming in early December. But then we also have more information about the Ashen Iron major update coming out today for free. In fact, at the time you’re watching this video, it’s out right now. The community sentiment within Destiny 2 right now is not great. Is Bungie bringing the big guns? Can they unveil some really awesome community wanted features that have players excited again? Or is this going to be a flop? Well, here is my live reaction. [Music] All right, here we go, guys. Watching the brand new Bungie live stream. This is a lot of pressure on Bungie, right? There’s going to be quite an expectation from the community. The community sentiment right now is not the best. Something changed, boys. Here we go. We’re about to start DMG. And so, yeah, let’s take our first look at Renegades. Here we go on Mars. How I just jumped into that walker and I just the jungle, bro. ATSD go off or I’m probably calling it the wrong term, but there’s something really special here. Yep. The enemy enemy walker at is a walker from the cabalin. Multiple blasters I’m already seeing too. It’s about what you’re willing to risk. If you look at Star Wars and you look at that Starlock pit baby parallel that exists. So for instance, our dredgen, they’re are Sith. Pretty sy. Yeah. And then you’ve got the Baron Imperium and they are very very empire aesthetic on the Cabalion. Okay. So remember this is a a Destiny story with like a Star Wars coat of paint over it. There’s not going to be any Star Wars characters in this DLC. new faction. You’re going to choose the job. You’re going to choose which renegade abilities you’re going to take into those jobs. And then you’re going to drop into the action with your team. Smash up those objectives, get as many riches and treasures as you can, and then get out or die. Try to do that. We’re going to go extraction shooter. You’ll see Mars. Oh boy. With swamp set. Venus is coming back. Okay, so swamp area is Venus again. So, these are going to be things you can bring into these activities. Call in air strikes. Call in cabal drop pods. A playable mech. Playable walker. Oh, wow. Here. Okay, so here are all your abilities. Have a lot to play with here. I’m liking those menus. Could be annoying at the end of it, but we’ll see. About raw power. It’s about that walker looks sick. Working for these powerful syndicates and against them at different times. And all of this takes place at the heart of the criminal underworld in Tharsus outpost. Are those Vex wearing clothes talking, bro? Breakaway group of Vexar. So there’s like just going to have like Vex characters you can talk to now. That’s actually crazy. Okay. So it’s like you have to like align with the Vex guys, level them up, and then at the end you get like a exotic ornament or something like that to do a special job that’ll take you off planet to the dungeon. Interesting. Presumably you can like switch your alignments later on, but invasion. That’s right. Invasion is back. But this doesn’t work like it’s often has some initiative when invasion begins. This is more invader. Oh brother, I don’t know about this one. And what’s the right tool? We heard you liked Gambit or vehicle. Do I use a couple walkers? What? Invade. Call in a walker. Oh my god, dude. Dude, you thought you thought the guy invading with a sniper is bad enough. Now they’ve got a walker. That’s going to be I don’t know. How are they doing the lightsaber? I need to know. It was flying through the air just there. He caught it. Holy [ __ ] Even in the darkest corners of this world. So you can throw it as a throw ability. He 100% was flying through the air by itself. He caught it. Ranged lightsaber throw attack. Not just as ace, bro. That could be completely overpowered. Like that in a good way. future. Please let me see more lightsaber game. Okay, so lightsaber’s 100% confirmed playable. I just saw another one flying through the I swear to god, dude. Dude, please. A throwable lightsaber, dude. Please, man. That would be insane. The only thing now is you need to reflect bullets if you block and then it’s the ultimate. Yo, you get a you get an X-wing literally for free if you order the uh year of prophecy edition. So, I’m going to get this today. Maybe a little direction. That’s actually sick. I mean, I’m getting a little I’m I’m kind of soy jacking here, but like I mean, it is just a cosmetic for ordering the Omega edition. So, that Titan has the Mandalorian rifle. You guys see that? We want to address that. We want to make sure Destiny is social, fun, fun to play with friends while still maintaining, hey, as a solo player, you can absolutely hop in. Pretty concerning you tried to do that though, Bungie. That’s the problem. And feel rewarding like solo. Yeah. And we’ve already talked about So, we’re going to do some of that in ash and iron. Uh, one of the other Why would you Why would you have to reverse? You should never have to reverse because you never should have done it. And having them uh just more consistently award power deep. I’m liking what I’m hearing. Um, we’re also, this is a good It literally says faster power climb right up in the main text there. So, within these orders, um, not a mockup that you can do. And here we go. Here’s what they are. And then you these what’s really cool about these scarf rifle kills melee kills win a crucible match an exotic tier this is all about just creating like little moments of variety within the portal these different little there was definitely one like gold and then there was one like purple legendary interesting yeah so making that those older raids those older dungeons all that legacy content viable again a huge complaint is that it’s not in the portal it’s pointless it’s effectively sunset No more tiers don’t matter in the in the feature gear bonus. A tier two is going to give you the same bonus as a tier five for the for the damage bonus, right? Sunset featured gear score bonus. What does that mean? Before we get ahead of ourselves, like as a player and I they just getting rid of it for the vast majority of the experiences in the portal. We think that’s just too much complexity right now. Okay, so there’s still going to be damage bonus for featured weapons, damage resistance bonus for featured armor, but it will no longer affect your score in portal activities. I’m going to be honest, I’m liking all pretty much all of these changes. Or are they like live tweeting? Yeah, they’re tweeting a bunch of stuff here. Interesting. Interesting. Already we already saw this. Listen, this is going to be a hot take, dude. This might get me on trouble on Twitter, but for what you get for Ash and Iron, it actually looks pretty sick. Remember, everything in this trailer is free. So many people are hating on this because like there isn’t SA in the Plaglands, and I agree. It kind of takes away a bit of the the Plague Land specialty, but we’re like new activity, new exotic quest, multiple new exotics, tons of new legendary weapons, like new legendary weapons and refresh legendary uh weapons for free. Like when Bungie talked about these major updates, they said it was about the size of Into the Light. Dude, this is bigger than Into the Light, arguably. The content from that trailer is going live. Let’s talk about Ash and Iron. Um, we have a bunch of really cool stuff coming with a new So, I think it’s pretty good. This is the new activity. Um, that’s gonna be uh a start, but not upgrades. The nether like upgrades. Will a fully functional war set really expand her reach. Is this like another Nether style activity? Yep. Stick activate the explosions. Is that super cool or is it like just going to be worse than the mint that just blows up right away? I don’t know. We’ll have to wait and see. I’m It is exciting to see like an exotic rocket pulse though. Like Rocket Pulse. The mint has been insanely good. 100% uptime radiant and amplified buff in this activity. What the Did someone Did that guy just have the axe? Did that guy just have the axe? It’s on his back. The axe is on his back, bro. Dude, it’s it’s got to be an exotic weapon, then. You can’t stole a relic, dude. 100. That’s got to be an exotic weapon. You can’t put a relic on your back, dude. Uh, you know, way back with Rise of Iron, like as a player, Dude, I knew it. I Yeah, I knew it wasn’t a [ __ ] relic, dude. I knew it. New exotic axe. I got to eat this. New exotic axe 100% confirmed. Let’s go, dude. Oh my gosh, this thing looks sick, dude. Oh my god. Dude, that excited, man. New exotic axe, dude. Yeah, don’t get it till October. That’s kind of a buzz kill, not going to lie. I I honestly thought the new exotic like I thought you could be able to get this axe today, dude. This guy’s swanging so fast. Look at it. This guy’s going light speed. Oh my god, dude. Mro tool shotgun. I knew it. I called the shotgun too. Ma shotgun, baby. So like God, some guy on Twitter was arguing with me so much. He’s like, it’s a comp weapon, stupid. I’m like, it doesn’t mean it can’t have the Midas synergy perk. Here it is, dude. Discord trench. Mida synergy. Mida synergy. And then we have six player activity coming with festival lost. Hocus focusing is coming back. Hocus focusing. Okay. I’m very excited. Dude, festival sounds kind of much better. A six player activity, two new weapons compared to like the lost sectors. The new called arms event for the better part of a decade without a ghost, right? Doing it all on one life. Okay. Um, and he’ll be taking some muchdeserved RNR in the tower and being our liaison to the foundaries. We have to and much like the trial a universal helmet ornament that you are a top uh a top competitor in this and that’s kind of cool. I’m going to see this guy with a giant people have really wanted like cosmetics for gameplay related stuff for a long time. I’m see when I’m seeing gameplay. This is the plague lands. Like low drop chance from any of the events that we just cover. Bro, this is the freaking Cosmo. I’ve been there a million times. Hammer on getting those rolls. If you want to stick around, we’re going to be handing off the stream to Mactics, good friend. Uh he’s great at Destiny sometimes. Mactics, I do question. They must not see I’m live. All right. Wow. Okay. Quick summary. Quick summary. Um for Renegades definitely hitting on the Star Wars stuff. We’ve got the Cabal that look like the Empire. We’ve got what looks to be a ton of blasters. The blasters are not just cosmetic. There’s a new uh reloading system where you’re going to be overheating them. Like it’s a new overheat system instead of just traditionally magfed. The lightsaber, I think they did maybe purposely or accidentally confirm it’s an exotic. They mentioned it feels truly exotic, but it’s customizable. So you don’t just have the lightsaber and it’s the lightsaber. It’s like no, you can customize different parts that do different things. Will this be affecting gameplay? Will it be purely cosmetic? You know, changing the color? We’ll have to wait and see. But man, if it’s like affecting game like imagine if they did the erggo sum, but instead of getting 50 different versions of it, it was just you had one erggo sum that you could put different parts on and customize it with different frames and like they could do that with this lightsaber. That would be insane. The new activities look very cool. Having an invader, having a Gambit style invader, you know, Gambit is not a super, some people love it, but it’s not the community’s favorite activity. So, anything related to Gambit is going to be kind of crapped on. You can opt out, which gives me hope, but we’ll have to wait and see for that one. As for Ash and Iron, again, I just think like, dude, we have an exotic axe coming. We have another exotic rocket pulse rifle. We have tons of new weapons. We have new special weapons that work with the Mida and the Sturm. We have a new area. We have new activities. We have tons of new armor sets. We have Iron Banner coming back. Uh we have Festival of the Lost has a brand new activity, new weapons, new stuff. Like man, there there’s a decent amount of new content coming all for free. That’s the most important thing. Ash and Iron like that exotic axe you can get for free. If it was paid, I’d probably have more to criticize about it, but like for a free content edition, it seems pretty good. a lot of talk about changing changing the the power progression, changing the leveling system and and like you know right up at the top it says faster leveling like they want to have leveling faster. They want to it to feel smoother. They want the endgame to be involved. They want to bring back ritual stuff. Like a lot of the stuff the community asked for seems to be happening now. The problem is that dude they’re literally undoing nerfs they announced a week ago. We’re not nerfing strongholds. They did that next week. Get this nerd off my screen. Get this complete nerd off my screen. Okay, I love tactics. Um, lot of changes there. Uh, but again, my concern is like they’re undoing stuff. They literally just announced we are talking a week ago. So, who is making these decisions to do these nerfs that are just going to be reversed in a week? like like are they just like are they just flying by the seat of their pants randomly doing this stuff, right? Like that is the big concern. It it just seems like we’re doing we’re announcing stuff. We’re we’re undoing it. We’re nerfing. We’re unnerfing. We’re It’s like have a more cohesive vision. And if you are so unsure about these announced nerfs that with some community push back, you’re undoing them, stop doing them in the first place. And they kind of did say we’re putting the unessential uh changes on the back burner. Okay, cool. Definitely cool. Definitely fine. But again, it’s like um why are we doing this in the first place? That’s a big concern. I want a more cohesive vision. I’m okay with a nerf. Like if you have like we need to nerf this because this this and this and this is what we envision the meta to be. I actually prefer that more than like the wishy-washy like we’ll we’ll nerf this, never mind, we’ll nerf this, never mind, we’ll do this, never mind. Like why are you doing it in the first place? Have a cohesive vision of what you want things to be. But with that being said, again, a lot of stuff in Renegades looks extremely cool and I think Ashen Island has a bit more content and cool stuff than people were expecting. I mean, again, the fact that we’re getting this insane exotic axe, people thought it was going to be a relic and that you just pick up in the activity. That’s pretty sick. Hopefully, this activity plays well. We’re going to see. And now, guys, this is going on YouTube. So, that’s going to be it for the video. Hope you enjoyed and found this informative.
