Very exciting stuff about Patrol, which is probably my most-played mode technically.

Yeah, I especially liked this part:

"The Dreadnaught has its secrets—you’ll need to return again and again to solve them all and acquire the rewards we created for doing so. There are hidden treasures and bosses waiting to be found, and it won’t be apparent how to access them the first time you go exploring. We’ve laid out a lot of breadcrumb trails though, as you fight your way through the ship. So follow the clues you’re given, face the challenges you can find, and earn that sweet loot!"

Yeah it looks cool and it'll probably be comperable in size to patrol spaces we have now, but the idea of guardians freely boarding and leaving a Hive Capital ship on a whim seems... far-fetched?

I too am very curious to see how they fit that in thematically...

The patrol probably gets unlocked in the middle or at the end of the campaign. Just like banishing crota's soul, there will be some sort of event like that at the end of the campaign. Once that's done, patrol becomes perpetual "cleanup" mode, as there's a (likely) immobile ship acting as a new moon to saturn that's still hive infested.

From the media we've seen, it looks like the Cabal have crashed their way into the Dreadnaught itself. Maybe we are piggybacking their back doors.

I imagine we'll have a mission or two hitting the Dreadnoughts AA or something.

Either that, or Oryx wants us here. I mean, if he wants to kill us, it'd probably be easier to do it with an army that can swarm and outmanuever one target. At least then he can find and confirm the kill a lot easier that way. Might also be a ritual/pride deal.

It'd be cool to have a harrowing landing sequence our first visit. I doubt it'll be cleanup until we complete the raid, which I don't think will be a part of the given story - Like PoE, VoG or CE before it. Because only so few people have the opportunity to raid anyways.

...they want their simple-geometric-shape starship back.

Jk, I love it to death. :P

Is the video a joke that I don't get?

I thought the same thing for the first thirty seconds when I saw it a few days ago, but I think it really depends on how you look at it. If you imagine that you're watching it on a VHS and the characters are 12 years old, it has more of a nostalgic tone. The bad effects and (relatively) low effort make it more endearing in a way.

Think about it less like it's a group of adults making a short film and more like a handful of neighborhood kids acting out a video game in the trees in their backyard.

I wouldn't have watched it if you hadn't posted. Turns out it was endearing :)

Given the difficulty of making a short film, I think you're being really disrespectful here. One of our own DBOers is in the film, and a good friend of several DBOers is the film creator. I'll admit, it's not a thing of beauty by box-office standards, but it's pretty impressive what he did with no budget, a little cleverness (the vault doors are drum cymbals), and just the sheer desire to do it.

Also, if you knew the guy making it, he's plenty capable of creating something more modern as that's what he does for a living. It obviously was an homage to an older cinematic style.

In the end, I think it's fine to not like the film, but wouldn't it be a lot more reasonable to say, "While I can see it took some work, I don't find it aesthetically appealing" rather than just lambasting it in it's entirety with no explanation as to why.

Obligatory challenge to make something better if you hate it so much sentence, though I've said my piece and have nothing to defend, just think it's worth showing a little class and decency about the whole thing and life in general.

I liked it a lot. Didn't have much to say in the thread other than that so I didn't say nothing. Glad hobo won! He's a pretty cool guy.
