I wonder if there are any balance changes to make crucible less strawberry floated.
Although I don't think anything short of removing shotguns and homing grenades would make it fun.

No PvP changes, ha. Guess theyve given up.

I've been using trespasser in pvp and been smashing shotgun rushers from just outside their range. Also coming off quite favorable against pulse rifle users. Give it a try!

Not sure what to make of the update. There's so many different boxes now (OK 3) containing different items/rewards - and they change how you earn them - and then different stuff needs different stuff (e.g. Ornaments).
Not sure I understand the purpose of the new book - beyond drip feeding content and providing rewards for doing the new stuff a certain number of times - or old stuff in new ways (e.g. Elite Bounties). The MoT and RoI books were nice measures of progress across an expansion - this feels a little "we added a sliver of new content - grind it lots for a record!"
SRL is also a bit weird...so it has a LL now...but you need to infuse it to keep you end of match rewards (which drop on your LL) decent...so you basically need pieces ready to infuse into racing gear....which you can't get from racing (in gear...you could it wearing normal armor). Some might have a set of gear ready to infuse - but I didn't so have to hunt down a set so I can infuse
Loved SRL last year as an alternate LL up content - but not sure I'll find it as appealing to grind out similar/lower LL gear.

I have a few weeks off work as of this Friday, so I might pick up the expansion and try this out again.

Not really arsed about SRL (didn't bother with it at all last year) and strawberry float them for just making the Icebreaker a random drop from a bounty for an activity that requires matchmaking rather than having it as a quest reward like the Gally, but I'll be giving the re-jigged strikes a try. Always nice when they actually add PvE content for free for a change rather than those shitty PvP events.
The relic in the Nexus strike surely means they'll be upping the Vault of Glass light level in the next big update. That and Crota's End is really all they have left.

Last night, I tried a new strike (A Shadow Thief), but it wasn't right as there was no SIVA enemies around.
I will give it another attempt tonight.

If you know how the physics work you can do really well.
I won most of my races last year.
Just use your side boosts for cornering, always do tricks in the air and never miss a gate.

Just hurry up and announce Destiny 2 already.
No idea what long term players are even still doing in the game.

Game is running on fumes.
I'd expect Destiny 2 to be September-ish next year but I wouldn't put it past them to delay it given what's happened previously. The game was originally meant to be out months ago.

Finally got my main to LL 400 and I'm a baw hair away from getting my alts there too. After that and finishing the Raid on hard, I think I'm done with the game. I loved my 900 hours
playing it though.

Surely they will really struggle to keep people playing if they delay Destiny 2 again as they can't be putting any effort at all into new content for Destiny.
I watched the new version of the Omnigal strike and it's barely any different with just a few new enemies so not exactly going to keep people interested for long. They have to get 2 out next year or they will lose a lot of players.

The new Omnigul strike is a clusterfuck at the end.you have to go into the actual room to start the fight and the doors lock behind you so you can't hide in that little area outside. Omnigul disappears and you have to clear waves of enemies to make her reappear again. The Nexus strike is ok and I really like the new Taniks one (you have to destroy SIVA clusters to bring his shield down)
