As someone who has well documented his observation that Dawnblade was/is crap, this above .gif gives cause for me to... I don't know. But it's good. And I like it, so we'll see I suppose. All in all,I'm really looking forward to this update. Shame there is no update for UI/Vault stuffs too, but I guess that would make this update too perfect.

(And also heres my opportunity for a shameless Fireteam Builder plug! Yay!)

You might not have realized that your event conflicts with a popular event that's been up for weeks. Not trying to discourage you. Just saying.

Keep in mind that that popular event is for an event that won't launch until next week. Chickens assumed IB would drop with the update, but according to Bungie's Schedule, this isn't the case. Still, Insane is looking for two folks to go through campaign, and the existing event is PvP-focused.

I like a lot of what they're saying/showing. The fact that they're balancing "up" instead of down (not that this is always the best way to go, but I think in D2's case it makes sense). The increased speed sounds great, too. Should help make the game feel snappier and more exciting.

The increased super power and recharge speed has me worried about the PvP side. I thought D1's crucible was a bit of a trainwreck due to all the super spam, and I'm not crazy about seeing D2 return to that. But maybe the increased mobility will help counter them better. Should be great for PvE too.

Heavy and special ammo kept supers in check for Destiny I think. But that was when we had two slots capable of shutting down a super in one shot.

I'm okay with this. We now have 1 slot that shuts down supers in 1 shot and 1 slot that shuts down supers if you have 2 people and suck :-)

Mind you, guns are going to be much less effective now against supers cause good luck hitting them at this speed. However, it will be easier to run away maybe?

I don't think my KD is going to go up. I was one of those rare people who liked how D2 encouraged team work.

I agree. I just hope this pacifies those lone rangers who don't like how D2 plays (teamwork) but still makes teamwork a fundamental element to this game. We shall find out.

[Edit] I don't want this to sound like I'm bashing on you lone rangers. I just still have PTSD from ungodly players who will just steam roll our team solo by quick scoping snipers or something while their team mates emote teabag my dead body. I'm really happy D2 is the way it is because I am primarily a team player and not a lone ranger.
