Saw this live. Let me see if I can annotate for those that didn’t watch it.

Very Casual and Humorous talk. (Language Warning)

• Halo 2 Hype (Me too bro. Me too.)
  
• Luke Smith History.

Luke was first really noticed when he wrote a fairly harsh review about Halo 2 and its weapons balance.

[*]Frustration/Passion.
[*]Bungie does read (at one point) reviews. Personal Side note: Uh oh. :P
[*]"It's not Destiny until the party shows up".

Luke was talking about how even though he has been able to play the finished version of Destiny for a while now he doesn’t really even want to until everyone else can because to him Destiny is about playing with all of us.

[*]Surviving the Unwinnable War.
[*]Frustration/Passion again.

The Unwinnable War here is the war of content creation vs our faster consumption. How Bungie will never be able to make enough stuff to outpace how fast we can play it and how, in some ways, it is an Unwinnable War.

[*]How has Luke failed as a designer?

Luke talked a couple of things but his biggest personal screw up was where he personally keyed in the wrong value for one of the early Reach progression ranks. This made it so the first few ranks took a little bit more XP to reach but nothing too bad then which ever one he screwed up took like 10x the time to get to and then the progression went back to normal.

[*]Dick Walls.
[*]A wall of Dicks.

Talking about the jumping puzzle in the Dreadnaught where you get punished off the side by the “dicks.”

[*]Reach ranking system.
[*]NOPE!
[*]"Even the traveler isn't a Perfect Sphere"

Talking about how even though they have worked really hard on Destiny 2 there’s probably some flaw they haven’t noticed yet/

[*]Titan LIES! PURE LIES! IGNORE!

Heh. The interviewer asked something like: “Are Warlocks and Hunters just sidekicks for Titans, or did ya’ll put them in the game so as to better contrast how amazingly great Titans are?”

[*]Cool Shader Stuff!
[*]Magenta is the best color!

Luke is colorblind so he was calling the black shirt he wears “magenta” and was talking about how we’ll be able to apply different “magenta” shaders to each piece of armor.

[*]Grimoire cards.
[*]ILOVEBEES.

Luke loved i love bees and even went to the final meetup where they gave out the fan dvds.

[*]Coldheart & Ragashingo Take Note.

Is this the part where they talked about how every Exotic, Raid, and Trials weapon will have an in-game Lore tab that contains a Grimoire type story about that weapon? Mentioned that Raid weapons would fill in a bunch of backstory about the lead up to the Raid.

[*]Flawed Raiders.
[*]Dancing.
[*]"I'm the Captain now!"
[*]HOW DID THEY CHOOSE TO THE RAID DATE?!

Basically, chose it so that people would have two Update cycles to get ready. Didn’t really feel like he thought people would have to rush too hard to get leveled up, but it wasn’t really talked about much either.

[*]The goods.
[*]Nike cross promotion confirmed.
