Probably an unrealistic expectation. Thia current TWAB is only seven days after the fan reaction to transmog in the last one, and is probably written up a day or so beforehand too.

The system as it is will have been finished, tested and implemented into the game by now, seeing as it goes live next week. It's probably been done for a while.

The system also isn't in the game yet, so they are likely going to wait and see, though once the Reddit hivemind get something in their bonnet they hammer it home relentlessly.

EDIT - The next season trailer was a bit underwhelming. Not much new info, as we knew about transmog and VOG beforehand, so that's 2/3s of what was in the trailer. It looks like might live or die on the strength of the activity, so hope as it's six man it's more Menagerie than something like the Infinite Forest.

I thought that they were going to be tying the seasons in a bit more too, but everything's still a little disparate for my liking.

EDIT THE SECOND - I thought Ikora still sounded like Gina Torres, and thought they mentioned her being back this season (it might have meant Ikora), but don't quote me on that. I'm pretty sure Torres did again message for the Warlocks for Guardian Games the other day as well.

Though looking online the common consensus seems to be that it's a recast.

They do do a good trailer, but my concerns are that Chosen focused on an interesting section of the lore: Caitl and the Cabal as a culture. You can't really do that with the Vex, so I'm hoping the majority of the storytelling is going to revolve around Mithrax, who is well overdue some extrapolation.

The new event looks interesting, and I love that they've put in stone the one Exotic/story mission per season after Harbinger and Presage. The seasonal armour also looks strawberry floating rad.

We'll see though. If they manage to break their one-good-season-one-bad-season run I'll be surprised.

Is Mithrax the friendly one from the Outbreak Prime mission?

Yup. His first appearance was even earlier than that, in base Destiny 2 I think?

New season dropped (after some technical issues yesterday!).

The intro mission is great, as usual, and the new tileset/look of the Vex stuff is very cool. Haven't had a chance to check out the new exotic Stasis pistol, but I am pretty narked they've moved the seasonal armour off the Season Pass itself and, apparently, tied it to the new seasonal event.

Once I'm done with some meetings this morning I'm going to check out ADA1 and her convoluted transmog.

Is there a season pass for this season? I couldnt find anything only a silver bundle... didnt have much chance to look into it more tbf, as the game was kicking me out all the time, maybe today its more stable.

Among the myriad issues yesterday, apparently Bungie briefly turned on crossplay, with some Xbox users being able to play with their PC counterparts.

As feared the transmog grind is strawberry floating crazy

You get 11 free transmogs this season, but to actually earn them going forward is surely unsustainable.

New seasonal activity is fine: it's gambit again with 6 people and some extra steps. I fear it's a little long to be fun going forward, I got a triumph for completing one in less than 12 minutes, but it looks nice and there are 3 different versions coming.

The exotic is...fine, I guess. A total novelty gun where you can charge up a freeze shot but otherwise it's pretty poor.

The seasonal armour is strawberry floating gorgeous though, and shaders not being usables anymore is great. Have a feeling this'll be an ok season from first impressions, but I've been wrong before.

Anna Bray
Cayde (briefly)
Ikora

Think that's it? I'd rather have new actors and more characters then vice versa. One actress they did get back this season (and whose voice is like pouring strawberry floating honey in your ears)...

I can't see Lance Reddick ever being replaced since he strawberry floating loves that role.

He wasn’t available for large periods of beyond light development which is why North/Ghost impersonate him in a key mission

:?

Not really replaced, is it though? From what I can recall, he recorded all his lines for Beyond Light but when they needed to record his last set the pandemic had hit and he didn't have a home setup. Which led to the Ghost impersonation.

Weridly enough, he was playing Gambit as the Drifter just a few days ago
