This week we discuss the Destiny 2 Exotic Armor Changes coming in update 1.2.1.

We recap the Iron Banner emote controversy and talk about the first 6v6 event of Warmind. Anthem E3 2018 has been confirmed, we'll discuss what we want to see from it and hopefully get some more (less scripted) Anthem gameplay. Thanks for listening to this week’s show.

This week we discuss the updated Road Map for Destiny 2 in 2018. A new summer event is coming to Destiny 2 plus prestige mode for both Eater of Worlds & Spire of Stars Raid Lairs. The TWAB gives a review of the investment economy in Warmind currently with some changes coming to Escalation Protocol item drop rates. E3 2018 is right around the corner, we'll review the games and content we hope to see there. The Black Ops 4 reveal event happened this last week, and in Warframe news Devstream 111 occurred. We are now just a little over a month away from Tennocon 2018. Thanks for listening to this week’s show.

This week we look at Destiny 2 Warming 1 week later, is Destiny back on track after the latest expansion?

We'll also talk briefly about Elder Scrolls Online & its Summerset Expansion at the end of the program. Thanks for listening to this week’s show.

This week we talk about the Warmind reveal stream trailer with the new game mode Escalation Protocol. This new game mode in Destiny 2 could have a ton of potential if done correctly. We then recap the Bungie Community Summit, what are the impressions we are hearing from the folks that got to spend the weekend at Bungie sharing feedback on the state of Destiny 2. We close the show with a recap of the Kulve Taroth event in Monster Hunter World. Thanks for listening to this week’s show.

This week we talk about Destiny 2 Warmind Expansion as we now have the official release date of May 8. Rumors are flying about a new potential horde mode maybe akin to the Prison of Elders but hopefully much more robust and improved. Then we recap Warframe devstream 109 as it brought with it a new game mode Sanctuary Onslaught and a new warframe Khora. Finally we round the show out talking about Borderlands 3 release date windows according to Take Two investor earnings calls. Thanks for listening to this week’s show

Today we discuss the upcoming Destiny 2 community summit in which many community members and influencers will spend time at Bungie HQ to talk about the future of Destiny 2. Expansion 2 has been teased now twice online with Chris Barrett being at the center of each of these peaks under the curtain. We'll also review the Bungie Bounty Q&A stream as well as answers the devs gave. World of Warcraft Battle For Azeroth releases August 14 2018 and we are excited! Plus the Spring Blossom festival is now live in Monster Hunter World for the next week. Don't miss out! Thanks for listening to this week’s show

Activision Blizzard Stock (ATVI) has dropped 11% since March 12 over investors growing concern that the massive popularity of Fortnite will pull players away from Activision Blizzard games. We discuss how agile developers like Epic Games are paving the way forward for more fast-paced, innovative, update philosophies that are surpassing the competition at every corner. Bungie’s slow paced update schedule is showing its age and become antiquated in 2018. The old style of development with major updates once every 6 months are just not cutting it anymore as younger studios are taking the market by storm. We will also cover our feedback of update 1.1.4 in regards to both PvE and PvP. Thanks for listening

This week the Destiny 2 Go Fast Update is live with Patch 1.1.4. Bungie is also looking for a contract position that sounds like an endgame tester. Could this position be for The Taken Queen launch this fall/winter? Sea Of Thieves is out and we’ve had some hands on time with the game. It makes for a great initial 5 hour experience but feels like a very unfinished & shallow game past that point. Is the new games as a service model taking over the investment game genre? We’ll also briefly talk about Monster Hunter World & the new Deviljho patch feedback, plus Monster Hunter World is the best selling game in February for both consoles making it the best selling game of 2018 so far. Thanks for listening.

This week we cover the final faction rally of season 2 in Destiny 2. We then chat about Warframe's 5 year anniversary with free goodies for players to collect before March 26. The Division 2 was officially announced and we have some thoughts on the press release. Monster Hunter World is receiving a giant free title update in the next few days that looks awesome, and Battlefront 2 is bringing microtransactions back to the game. Thanks for listening!

This week its all about update 1.1.4 Preview, no more radar in trials and competitive moving forward. Buffs are coming to most weapons across the sandbox along with big movement speed changes across the board as well. Is this enough though to bring back lapsed players? Bungie has a tough road ahead between now and Expansion two. Thanks for listening to this week’s show.

This week we go over more details of update 1.1.4 arriving in a few weeks. This update will bring sandbox tuning, rotational PvP playlists, and more. Iron Banner 6v6 will be introduced shortly after, which will be Control but with some game tuning adjustments with 6v6 in mind. Will 6v6 be chaotic on some of the smaller maps, and will the sandbox changes address the communities concerns with the TTK of Destiny 2 PvP? Nightfall scoring has been launched and of course cheese was discovered and utilized.  Thanks for listening to this week’s show.

This week we cover the new Nightfall Scoring Emblem system with Auras, score thresholds, emblem variants, and more! Mods 2.0 has been delayed beyond Expansion 2 unfortunately but there are some elements moving up in the development timeline such as Rumble. Rumble will be returning to Destiny late March but as a weekly rotational playlist. The Destiny community is left in an odd spot as Bungie shifts large scale improvements further back on the timeline. On the one hand we want to see these features implemented in an effective way, but on the other hand player's patience has run dry. Thanks for listening and have a great week guardians.

Should Destiny 2 have been a sequel? For months the community has been discussing the concept of Destiny  1 vs Destiny 2. This week we cover the february faction rally, the main changes coming to the event, new weapons and more. We'll also dive into a readers question that digs deep into the idea of the consequences of a sequel, and the expectations associated with them. Thanks for listening and have a great week guardians.

This week we break down the new Nightfall Scoring system coming to Destiny 2, complete with challenge modifier cards, new timing mechanics, emblems, auras, and more. We will also go into detail with curated raids explained. This new high end raid activity will each week bring forth a curated prestige mode raid with load out restrictions, modifiers, and tweaks to make the experience fresh more challenging and to keep players raiding. Whether it is a Raid Liar, the Leviathan Raid, or new raids this new activity sounds like a great idea. We’ll cover Crimson Days and the new crimson days rewards plus how they are earned. Finally we’ll close with the Activision Blizzard Q4 Investor earnings call which gave a lot more insight into the state of Destiny 2 than what listeners expected. Thanks for listening.

Mods 2.0 has been pushed back until May, as has the start of Season 3. We can assume as well that DLC 2 will be releasing in May alongside the launch of Season 3. Timelines are the focus of the discussion as the pace of Destiny 2 renovations are quite slow unfortunately. Prestige Eater of Worlds will also release in May which begs the question, did the second Raid Lair get delayed to sometime this summer? The ball is in Bungie’s court, hopefully they can find some ways to score soon.

This week we talk about the epic raid reward updates coming this week plus the new masterworks armor system. Honestly this is the best TWAB of Destiny 2. If Bungie can keep supplying updates and transparency like what was seen in this week’s blog post then the ship can be turned around for Destiny 2. Iron Banner returns this week with positive changes to the reward economy. The raid reward overhaul details not only positive changes but a fantastic long term pursuit for raiders to engage with the Leviathan and Eater of Worlds every single week. Bungie addresses the shader issue head on and concedes the point that the community wants unlimited use shaders back. Bungie talks about exploring methods in which we can achieve a better state of shaders, either with the return of unlimited use, or a kiosk that will help with the mass delete issues present currently. Anthem has been pushed back to 2019 in an attempt to polish the game further, and a CNBC article on Destiny 2 urges vigilance from investors in regards to

This week we recap the Faction Rally from this last week, token farming lockouts had a negative impact on the event in tandem with a new exotic ghost shell being sold for almost 3,000 silver dust from reverse that helped increase drop chances of faction consumables. Mods 2.0 is supposedly releasing in February, what could the system bring to the table and will it be a step back in the right direction? Thanks for listening!
