Actually not sure what you're requesting. Stop making fun of SJWs, the act of which is associated with needless misogyny and intolerance, or KEEP making fun of SJWs, who are associated with needless misandry and intolerance.

Either way, meh.

Me too but I don't expect that to be available at a reasonable price till Des2ny.

There's no way this expansion is the same size as TTK. Not that there's anything wrong with that... I'm really happy with how it's looking so far. But with only 1 new strike, RoI will certainly be smaller in scale than TTK. Sounds larger than TDB or HoW, though... $30 seems like the right price to me :)

Why does it having only one strike mean it's smaller than TTK? While the replayability of strikes is good, they rarely represent all that much new content or space, and almost zero story. There are a hand full of strikes I'd trade for a story mission, raid area, or social space without a second thought.

I agree. It seems to me that new strikes result in the smallest amount of mileage gained for work put in compared to raids, social spaces, and pvp maps. Most strike playstyles are completely randomly assigned, so other than that first time through, the strike isn't really going to be seen much, and unless it has amazing special best in slot drops, it won't be intentionally played much either (though it will be farmed in the most exploitative way possible).

My point was not that the strikes themselves make up a substantial part of any expansion, but that the number of strikes included in each expansion seems to correlate to the overall size of the expansion. At least that has been the case so far. Smaller expansions get fewer strikes, larger get more.

Maybe this is all that area they pointed to in the early early demo. You know when they said we could go to all that stuff... out there. :)

a new section of the cosmodrome Earth.

FTFY

IIRC I heard something about them being "attached to the cosmodrome," yet with a new landing location.

Cosmodrome =/= Earth. Cosmodrome is one destination (read: landing/playspace) on Earth. This new stuff is another.

One new strike, but some remixed ones as well. Comparing this to TTK with a checklist of what that had isn't really how it should be. The Plaguelands space sounds like it will be much larger and have more to do than the Dreadnaught, plus we get a whole new social space that likely comes with its own questlines and features.

It sounded to me like the Plaguelands weren't an entirely new destination, but rather a new section of the cosmodrome. IIRC I heard something about them being "attached to the cosmodrome," yet with a new landing location. Either way we'll see and I'm tempering my expectations.

I very much got the impression that the new spaces will serve as expansions of the Cosmodrome, rather than a full-sized patrol space.

So, I just went back and re-listened to the section where they're talking about the new areas. Here's what Christopher Barrett said,

A place called the plaguelands, which is a new zone which is off [of/from?] the cosmodrome inside old russia...

There's also Felwinter Peak as you may know the name Felwinter from Felwinter's Lie...

And then the wall which is where players first began their journey, long ago, when they first began destiny.  You'll get to go back, it's changed... it's changed significantly, you'll get to run inside the wall, on top of the wall... beyond the wall.

I really like most of the Titan armors. That IB set of arms has the stretchy bit on the shoulders so I can hold a pack of cigs for a post crucible smoke.

Normal Gyllenhaal is available to everyone. Irrelevant skin is preoder bonus.

Notice the video doesn't talk about how you get the regular Gjallahorn, only the Iron Gjallahorn, so the fine print makes sense in the context that it is talking about the Iron Gjallahorn.

I always wondered then why they didn't have more cosmetic options for gear. Like, maybe your Mythoclast is a different color if you get it during flawless raider or something. Or maybe your glowhoo is a different color if you slay Crota in less than 20 minutes. That seems in the spirit of what they have always talked about with regards to gear telling a story.

I have those stories. I talk about Christhecrappy's Gyllenhaal, Bluerunner's Fatebringer, my Light Beware, all the time. My light beware came from the loot cave. Then I tell a story about the loot cave. You know what makes stories boring as fuck? When everyone has the same story.

"I got my SGA from opening crates on Mars."
"Me too."
