  • With all this new stuff, I'm excited as a Destiny player to see what Year 3 will hold for us. I understand Bungie not pulling the raid weapons and raid class items through (we all saw that one coming, they serve no purpose in the next expansion), and I'm not surprised they're bringing in more exotics. As a player, I have spent the last month and a half finishing out (ok, the term is grinding but still) the Moments of Triumph for Year 2 (and boy, oh boy, it was fun). I've got my loadout for Year 3 already completed, what with collecting my Iron Banana toys and my other Prison of Elders toys for the coming year. As a player, I'm kinda at that point where I'm bored and I've been playing Tom Clancy's The Division Underground DLC to pass the time while I wait for the Bungie gods to release their next big thing. On the matter of hype, Bungie has done nothing but show us what they're going to do with Destiny. We all remember when they hyped up the game and it came out looking like a literal pile of crap. No one liked it. However ever since April, I've seen nothing bad from them. They fixed up the game to a reasonable state, and it'll do till the RoI come out. I think their hype has been appropriately distributed and think they are not gonna bs us this time, but only time will tell...
