Destiny streamer KingGothalion was inspecting the possible contents of Bright Engrams, which can be purchased for Silver, Destiny's real-money currency, at microtransactions store Eververse.

The possible contents of Bright Engrams include the following:

>Ability cooldown armour mods: "Chance to contain an armour mod that decreases the cooldown of one Arc, Solar, or Void subclass ability." Can affect Super, grenade, or melee abilities.
>Character stats armour mods: "Chance to contain an armour mod that slightly enhances a character stat." Can affect resilience (increases shield HP), mobility (increases movement speed), or recovery (shields regenerate faster).
>Weapon stats armour mods: "Chance to contain an armour mod that slightly enhances the weapon stats of an equipped Primary, Energy, or Power weapon." Can affect handling (equip speed), stability (recoil strength), and reload speed (obvious).
>Elemental weapon mods: "Chance to contain a weapon mod that changes the element of an Energy or Power weapon."

>thinking destiny 2 could be any good
Why is there a 2 anyway, the first one is an MMO, just update that one. Obviously this was going to be a cash grab since they aren't interested in investing in their first title.

Games like EVE and Path of Exile understand how to appeal to their niche by updating their games and saying they're going to stick with their initial investment

A game like destiny 2 was going to suck anyway, the first one was mediocre at best.

The stupid thing is, I know people are gonna spend $40 to get an armor mod that gives them +1 second to all void grenade charge speeds and then get mad because it's not as broken as they thought it would be.

I never played any destiny stuff if that has some sort of impact

Better implies that raid gear or trials gear will not immediately make this garbage irrelevant. I guarantee most people will actually rather have the cosmetics, and the armor mods are gonna be filler like chroma.

There will be sixteen story campaign missions (in addition to the Prologue which was available in the beta tests). Once you’re done with those missions, they can be replayed at will by talking to Ikora. This will unlock the ability to accumulate Tokens and Reputation with her to get equipment that includes the best weapons and armor available prior to Ghaul’s invasion.

>Adventures, one of the new side activities introduced in Destiny 2, will have twenty-nine missions scattered across all the playable spaces. These can be found in Public Sectors and are also replayable; their duration usually ranges from one to two hours at maximum.

Each of the four regions (Titan, Saturn’s Moon; Io, Jupiter’s Moon; Nessus and the European Dead Zone on Earth) has a World Quest where you’ll need to explore the region and complete several side-missions to unlock a vendor’s rewards. These can only be completed once.

>Finally, there are five Strikes available to all platforms as well as another one that is temporarily exclusive to PlayStation 4 due to Activision’s agreement with Sony; this will launch next year on PC and Xbox One.

Destiny 2 also has additional activities that haven’t been numbered in the guide, such as the Lost Sectors, Patrols, Public Events, Challenges, Chest/Treasure Hunts. However, the guide does list the Crucible PvP maps available at launch: there are eight of these, though only six are available in the Competitive playlist for now.
>Legion’s Gulch (European Dead Zone, Earth – Quick Play only)
>Endless Vale (Arcadian Valley, Nessus – Quick Play only)
>The Dead Cliffs (European Dead Zone, Earth)
>The Fortress (European Dead Zone, Earth)
>Midtown (The Last City, Earth)
>Vostok (Felwinter Peak, Earth)
>Altar of Flame (Caloris Basin, Mercury)
>Javelin-4 (Warsat Launch Facility, Io)

Yes, people will be this stupid. Glad I won't be one of them and will still dunk on the lot of them in the crucible.

>>389371657

When the shop opened in Destiny 1 they gave every player free silver, enough to buy an emote of their choosing. As far as I know that was the only instance of anyone getting silver outside of paying for it.

i was thinking that im surprised that destiny 2 doesn't have lootboxes but of course it does, AAA gaming never lets me down

>They didn't even read the article.

>"Besides these weapon and armour mods, Bright Engram contents are comparable to Eververse stock from the original game: they're either purely cosmetic, or armour with stats so low it needs infusion to make it worthwhile, meaning it needs a loot drop from normal gameplay. Cosmetics have been hugely expanded, however: new items include transmat effects and Exotic sparrows, ships, and emotes."

>>389372235
The first Destiny had lootboxes m8. All they gave that was worth a shit was dank memes in the for of emotes. I promise you that the shit they give out will be almost worthless outside of taunting lads in the crucible

WELL DONE BLIZZARD

Wel done and fuck you kindly. The triple A industry has been on a roll. Transforming Shadow of mordor in a P2W and using a dead man to shill out preorder deals, Bethesda and the creation club fuckery, gearbox corrupting We Happy few, Activison turning an beloved 10 year old game into micro transition ridden mess and now this.

Fuck em.

Why is Activision the only one who gets away with Season Passes and microtransactions for content that you can not directly get with in-game currency?

EA has resorted to free DLC with their mcirotransactions, fighting games offer season passes constantly but some let you earn the characters and dont fuck you over with costumes and skins since you buy them directly, and even Ubisoft may have season passes and microtransactions but at least they let you buy what you want directly using the in-game currency if you dont want to fork over real money

You could get silver in destiny 1 from dismantling the weekly challenge reward stuff.
I'm going to assume that they'll reuse that mechanic for destiny 2

In Destiny 1. No.
Allegedly you can earn silver in this game by leveling up your character.
A random amount is in bright engrams, which you get by leveling up.
