- Destiny 2 will launch Episode 2 Act 2 next week and Prison of Elders is finally coming back, albeit in a very warped form. It looks cool.

My favorite part was when they said the new seasonal weapons looked like the tangled shore weapons, this is a reference to the fact that majority of the weapons are reskinned Tangled Shore weapons.
At least someone let them use different models for reskins this year (Beyond Light, Season of the Hunt)
A staple of destiny
Remodel* reskin would be changing the colors and nothing else. Still annoying but it’s one step above reskin
While destiny rising gets brand new fallen weapon models
I like the part where the new exotic shotgun is just a reskin of season of the plunder weapons.
Them changing the story to be not time gated revealed how "much" content we were truly getting
The Skolas fight was dope when he didn't get nuked in five seconds by solar burn + Gjallarhorn + weapons of light + heavy ammo synth
I remember the Strat of immediately rushing him with all this lolol
The problem with the new prison of the elders is the guns just don’t peak my interest. Which is pretty much the case for the whole game now.
pique* your interest
Something like Prison of Elsers returning deserves an entire loot pool. We're getting 2 weapons...........2, and they are lackluster at that. This was a HUGE mistake to bring this back with zero incentive to play it. Everyone already has the rolls of the weapons they want(most of them sucked as well) so what's the point of this existing now?
Take a break, if you're still playing. I haven't played since halfway through Episode 1, but this revamped Prison of Elders + Coil hybrid seems fun to try. Loot is whatever because I already have the guns I like.
I mean I have all pretty much the same or similar guns already there’s no reason to chase full vault of god rolls. . I haven’t played for 3 months. And I don’t plan on starting anytime soon. 10 years is enough. Bungie just turned m off snd continues to do so. I was hoping for a new game. Bungie has not been innovating it’s pretty stale
@@SmilingImp This is the second time in as many days that I've seen someone misuse 'peak' instead of pique. Damn near as bad as 'walla' instead of voila. People need to read more.
There is a gm/hard mode version of this called Contest of the Elders, they even said it on accident in the stream.
They were playing that mode on stream, it was not on accident lol
SYLOK THE DEFILED
Best part fr
THIRSTS for your light 😏 🥵🥴😩😤
honestly, I don't care about the loot and neither should you. We should care about how fun it is. As long as we get an ascendant shard or two it's more than enough
seriously, how many times have y'all stayed up late on private matches for fun? if we keep treating destiny like a 9-5 of course everything sucks. i had fun with onslaught, i loved grinding my face into the dirt on pantheon despite already having every exotic, i still remember helping friends do the legendary witch queen campaign months after i had. What did i gain from any of it? some glimmer. Would i do it again? no doubt.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
The game is pathetic
Dog really must love bait and switch came running right in when she heard that 😂
Very good points about agency over duration. Having fixed time windows and fixed rewards can start to feel like labor. I'm pumped
Paul with the first live stream coverage
I still follow destiny news but man quitting it has been so refreshing. I don't intend to come back.
I didn’t play for a few months or the last few acts / seasons or whatever they call them and I could only stomach a few hrs before I was drained of the same same boredom all
Over again. The game has zero innovation and is just so shallow. I’ll give D3 a try but for me D2 is dead
@paul-tassi would you play Destiny 2 if it were to come out today?
"Put Noah on all the streams!"
Plz don't jinx us... watch there be an announcement that Noah's leaving Bungie in the coming months... 😩
I hope this actually sticks around. Compared to the seasons, the only episodic content that is comparable to seasonal arena slop #41 is probably breach executable from echoes
Blanka cosmetics on a green arc melee build is gonna SLAP
So stoked to play this, I wish the loot was better but the activity itself looks great.
The lack of new loot is what’s ultimately gonna stop me from grinding the activity hardcore. Hopefully they keep it around and keep adding loot as time goes by
Yes they need to bring back red border seasonal weapons. I literally have no reason to play the seasonal activity now.
To fix potions and tonics, try deleting the hunters journal quest. It broke my festival of the lost engrams on my titan character. Deleting that quest fixed him.
He also had broken tonics, i havemt checked but it might be fixed now after deleting that quest.
Sad that I completely fell off this game but nothing Paul has been talking about has my excited to come back.
the coil coming back in frontiers?
I'm just so drained of destiny 2, I hate the new weapons and grinding for them
Then don't. Play something else, nothing, whatever.. just take a break. You won't miss anything, it's fine.
Then don't, simple. Why is this concept hard, for most it seems anyway, to grasp? I would never play something I don't enjoy. That being said, I'm still very much enjoying it. TETO.
There are so many other better games, so stop playing that recycled trash
If only there were literally thousands of other games you could play instead....
I agree that 50 waves of onslaught is a big time plus is the loot isn’t good to grind for is a bigger reason not to play it.
Paul's UA-cam Subscriber Count is like a Reprisal of Destiny's Forever 29. Forever 98k
It was 98.6k a few weeks ago. I guess he can only shill so much before people’s pattern detection software starts to go off and they jump ship. He’s a clown
No Dregs promise 😔
Im just happy for a Coil type activity, that was amazing
Give us new shit Bungie
What comes after episodes?!?
Is there really going to be no live/ongoing/seasonal type content?
There will be 2 medium dlcs per year that have new campaigns and locations, and then mid dlcs free updates that are basically your seasonal updates
Yup, big thumbs up to Noah and an even bigger thumbs up to his suggestion of a "That Guy" title.
This is fire!
Don't get me wrong, I hope it's a good activity. The loot chase this season though just isn't there. If they had some reprised prison of elders loot plus Dreg's Promise and some unique loot with this. It would be pretty hyped. More seasonal weapons that have just been kind of lame thus far though isn't doing it for me
Was the 2030 power level guns a placeholder or are they actually raising the power level again
That’s just a dev build thing. They had that with Echoes too
I'm still of the opinion that seasonal weapons should be craftable, but raid and dungeon weapons shouldn't be. Doing it the way they have been has almost killed my drive to chase both.
I think crafting a gun should come later after regular farming has been available for a while. Knowing a gun is craftable right out of the bat makes the random rolls basically pointless to me. I also think random rolls should take priority over crafted rolls, like moving enhanced perks from crafted to random rolls, something like that.
I agree about craftable seasonal and non-craftable RAD weapons. But also, I think they should make random drops of craftable weapons enhanceable, same way as non-craftable weapons are. I’m super surprised they haven’t already done that when they made random drops enhanceable.
Assuming if they want us to chase seasonals for the foreseeable future, they should make the reprisals craftable.
@@sauceinmyface9302 Funny. Almost like random rolls on gear is a highly artificial way to get players "hunting" and "chasing" loot, and the loot is ACTUALLY not that interesting.
Even funnier, when I watch people play Destiny, they get some gun they were after, going through these stages of 1) immediate excitement seeing the gun drop, 2) then a sudden half-second halt of the excitement as they hit their menu button, 3) a brief scramble to the area where that loot would appear in their inventory and finding it to cursor over it to CHECK THE PERKS, followed by 4) overwhelming disappointment that the perks weren't what they wanted, and they have to do whatever they did to get one of those items to drop again.
Pretty depressing loop to keep coming back for, I'd rather a checklist of materials and just HAVE a good gun. But I guess I'm just weird or whatever.
Raid and dungeon should be craftable because they are without a doubt the worst ways to farm.
Eevee appears
My Gyrfalcons and Gifted Conviction builds are salivating over the reprised Gridskipper and the new SMG with jolting feedback
sylok is backkkk
There's absolutely zero point of this coming back without actual loot. 2 single new weapons, and lackluster looking ones at that. Something like Prison of Elders coming back deserves an entirely new loot pool. We already have all the rolls of the Episode weapons(they mostly suck anyway) anyway, so this is a completely pointless return.
As a fan of the AO/KT Multimach, I'm definitely chasing the AO/Jolting SMG.
Although, here's a crazy thought: what if it's fun to play? And worth playing for that reason?
Besides finishing tonics easier now we can have a common source for the ingredients needed from the prison if you still need to, I see no point in playing anything nothing in Act 2 peaks no interest, all I really say was Bungie telling me to go buy silver put no and grind for PVP stuff from act 2 but no ugh
This looks super lackluster. The activity could be cool, but there is not loot from it. They introduced a total of two new weapons that both look pretty bad in PVE.
This season has the worst loot pool, terrible artifact, and one of the worst gameplay loops we've had in years. Its just horrible.
Beard's looking good Paul! Sort of excited for the new exotic but as you say, it looked quite weird from the footage they showed. As someone who never experienced Prison of Elders (outside of the strike version in D2, I'm looking forward to the new version
Paul, love the beard ✊️
10 waves always! PLEASE
potions are doodoo
I feel like the only people arguing against crafting are the no life players who want to gatekeep the absolute best roles and almost put them behind a pay wall of several hours of gameplay a day, like do you not want to play other games too?
This season I cut down my time A LOT because they removed crafting. Done wasting my time on RNG. Im investing my time into other games and projects now because i have enough to get by any form of content
@eldeliciosomagnifico6503 that's exactly it, the reward system sucks, if you spend an hour of your day in content that isn't fun, and you don't get a worthwhile reward then you'll feel like you wasted your time, with crafting at least you know you're always getting closer to a red border
honestly, they could've just made you need 10 red borders or something like that instead of just yk, ruining it for everyone
crafting is objectively a good thing, if you don't like crafting then just don't craft the weapons, there's only like a 0.5% difference anyways
@Golet234-2 it's forced engagement is what it is, especially after it came out they were weighting perks, my time is worth more than that, you could spend all season playing and never get the roll you want, it's just bad game design in a game that literally is a looter shooter
100% meh
Prison of yawners
10 year player here. Too little too late. I guess The Ship of Theseus applies to the Bungie we know now. They had so much time to do this or scrap gambit and focus on other things like PvP maps or new player experience. Also please stop simping for Kotaku its not a good look.
Man wants them to remove a whole game mode when there’s already barely anything to do, troglodyte opinion
So boring recycled already paid content!!
Dont do this to yourself Paul.
ZYLOK!
Where is Paul spending an extra twenty minutes in the new onslaught? I feel like it's ~1 minute per wave, ~1.5 minutes for the barons and like 2 minutes for each boss. I agree a 50 minute run takes too long, but a 70 minute run sounds miserable for low level players.
I just watched your starfield review from last year and now you look at least 5 years older
Weight gain and a beard will do that to you lol
What a bizarre comment to make
Despise tonic
This changes everything!
Hey everyone look, it’s Paul the Destiny Shill. This game is such a hollow void echo chamber of zero substance
Yawn. So little value-added.
Why say anything at all, ‘cept to gain some attention on Tassi’s back, hope for some Thumbs Up yer butt?
Tassi teabag you in Crucible?
He writes plenty on other topics, maybe your playlist biases need a refresh : he shows up in your scroll for your damn history, goofball.
@ I just like to see which simps crawl out of the wood work to swing off his nuts and defend him. Found one ☝️
@@jonathanedwardgibsoncause it’s enjoyable to watch low IQ clowns like you shill for a guy who shills. Shillception🤯
358 views in 4 minutes, paul fell off
Which one is bungie going with for the new content?
-Perk weighting
-Experience Throttling
-Random Player Bans
-Employee Firings
-Financing Pete’s new car of the month
Woot, first comment
Gamers do not trust gaming journalists anymore. You guys have lost all credibility and gamers listen to people like @legacykillaHD or @endymiontv or @LukeStephensTV. After Dragon Age and the obvious lies told by "legacy media", ya credibility is zero. Keep shilling for access!!
Tassi is a massive Destiny boot licking shill
