Final Shape: Prismatic Subclasses. 2 Exotics at once. New enemy types. They actually cooked.

second okay uh uh uh here what's going

on here class abilities from different

damage types oh my God bro that gives

you infinite sustain radiant devour

Amplified it's like the PVP team makes

like a little bit of progress and then

the PVE team is like about that bro it's

just like you gave them what with huh

it's the taken k items allow you to

steal perks from other Exotics and

combine two perks together into one

single exotic the bir that come on them

are actually random rolles one thing

that is going to be fun is to chase

these bks and the fact that it's random

rolles you're going to want to keep

looking for the right one for your

builds

oh

that's like three different wall effects

at once yeah we kind of got a vioc for

this I was not

anticipating receiving something like

this I was much more of the opinion that

we were going to do the same thing that

we've been doing for the past 3 weeks

which is bunch of devs sitting in their

Studio playing the game talking about

this talking about that and uh instead

we got like a full vioc showing three

very key features I would say coming to

final shape now if you are a veteran of

the game you're probably looking down

here and noticing that this seems wrong

Bungie is introducing Prismatic which is

a new subass that's going to allow you

to combine light and dark powers from

all the different sub classes I believe

they said that you're only going to be

able to do specific sub classes like

this is uh Hunter for now so Hunters can

do solar Strand and stasis does that

apply to all all characters no I think

warlock could do maybe warlock couldn't

do void I was seeing them with devour oh

no but this dude has a uh has a void

grenade so I know they say I know they

mention it somewhere in here let's see

if we can find it BS both light and dark

together

Hunter combo Titan hunters get this Fire

and Ice combo Strand and Arc Strand and

Arc for Titan the Warlock stasis and

void together stasis and void okay so

it's just for the grenade that you get

when you activate Transcendence which is

this meter below the super meter uh

everything else seems like it is

completely flexible yeah that's just the

grenade just the grenade but I would say

that that's probably the main feature of

this whole multiclassing thing is that

you are going to be able to combine

different parts of different subclasses

into some big Mega subass Prismatic

subass class I've been pretty vocal

about my concern for power creep and uh

Bungie was just like

LOL we're going to blast through that

power creep ceiling and go even further

Beyond they said there's a Dev Insight

blog post tomorrow as well what we're

looking at here is just the ability to

combine a whole lot of different things

all at once they did say that this was

an advanced level of subclass

customization I know there was a lot of

questions of like dude Prismatic is

literally in the game

why would people choose to do literally

anything else you guys got to remember

that there's a lot of casuals who play

this game and there are a lot of people

who are overwhelmed even by the options

that we have right now so I don't think

everyone is just going to be using this

if they don't know how to use it to

their full abilities they're probably

going to be pretty overwhelmed it is an

advanced level thing I'm sure there's

going to be plenty of tutorials and

builds of like you should combine this

with this so you can do this but I

absolutely think there will still be

people using just solo mono elements of

sub classes because either that's just

what they like doing um or they just do

not want to be overwhelmed I'm a very

big proponent of if your build is too

complex and there's too many timers to

maintain to the point where it's not fun

I don't know how good of a build it is

and this absolutely feels like it could

drift into that territory where there's

just so many things to micromanage and

it becomes not fun for certain players

and you also still have a lot of subass

synergy with a single element and all

that kind of stuff so I absolutely think

people will still be playing with solo

sub or mono subass elements and types

and all that kind of stuff a lot of this

is taking place within areas of the

final shape I mean I guess it's a

Nightfall but like it's all it also

looks like a new area like I don't

remember that environment at all so I

feel like there might be some

speculation that you can only do this

within the pale heart of the Trap but I

don't think they mentioned anything

explicitly about that and they did say

that there were going to be some

limitations to this kind of a Loadout I

would think it would be pretty insane if

they limited it just to pale heart of

the traveler they show PVP gameplay one

of the screens I don't know if that's

kind oh they did show PVP okay so yeah

that's uh that's another thing is uh

just like when PVP was like starting to

get some Rhythm back Bungie's like hey

by the way we're doing this now and uh

so pvpers that's going to be that's

going to be a little interesting to see

I mean I guess if we're still within the

bounds of like Checkmate and all that

kind of stuff and those rules like

there's only so much build crafting you

can do in PvP but like they talked about

warlock lightning surge being able to be

used like three times in a row so like

that could just go Absolut like people

are going to find absolutely broken

things and they did say it was a new

subass technically even though it's like

combining all of the ones that we have

right now they I think they also said

that there's going to be more fragment

slots I I think they said more aspect

slots as well just like you're going to

get more options mainly because you you

need a little bit more flexibility when

you're working with all of these

different elements so you are going to

have more things available to you I

think that was about it in terms of the

multi subclassing the next thing on the

list is the Exotic class item Bungie is

introducing an exotic class item in

final shape where you are going to get

two armor perks from Exotics that might

be from a class that is not your own you

are going to be able to get exotic perks

from other classes on this item it will

roll two this randomly rolled perk will

only be active while a prismatic subass

is equipped key note but you are going

to be able to get potentially I think

they said randomly rolled exotic class

items that come with different intrinsic

exotic perks on them they can be from

any class so there's going to be a lot

of hunting to see what you can double up

on in terms of Exotics in order to make

a build go even more insane hopefully

you can change how it looks I don't see

why you would not be able to change it I

mean maybe they just leave it like that

but I I assume you will be able to

customize its appearance cuz I feel like

that'd be weird if you couldn't although

I know it's like I know it's an

exotic I know it's like a true exotic

but because of the nature of it I think

you would be able to to switch it like

this is a Titan Mark with a fitan aspect

this is like Bungie's way of sort of

allowing people to have two Exotics

equipped at the same time I'm guessing

the reason we can't just physically

equip two Exotics at the same time is

because I'm I'm going to guess like it's

a like an engineering issue where that

is like so caked and built into the game

at this point that like trying to rip

that out is just like a massive massive

pain in the so instead they're just like

dude just make it some perks bro and I

think this is also more interesting

because it adds a Pursuit element right

and you can do you can do any exotic

perk which is like how do they even

balance this there be so many strange

interactions this will bring up I think

that's kind of the point like this is

basically Bungie just being like e it

dude we ball and just just we like we

were already at an 11 and now we're

going to like a 14 and it is not the

entire perk yes cuz this is aidian it

just has weapons ready very quickly but

aidian

themselves I will get you the exact

definition weapons ready and reload very

quickly provides a small benefit to

Airborne effess stat of all weapons so

it's not the entire thing at least maybe

not on every single you know intrinsic

I'm sure there's going to be some

intrinsics where it is the whole thing

there's going to be some where it's not

the whole thing so it it it does seem to

like take two probably pretty

significant parts of two different

Exotics and throws them onto a class

item so part of your pursuit in final

shape is going to be hunting down the

perfect class item to go with your

Prismatic subass to entire Exotics

wholesale would be more oper says Cosmo

BNG thank you for the Intel Cosmo thank

you for the clarity so like half power

of two Exotics versus full power of one

uh that would be my interpretation yeah

I think that's a that's a easy uh way of

explaining it yeah and also because it's

an exotic class item I you're not going

to be able to equip any other Exotics on

your character so it' be very

interesting to see what sort of perk

combinations people come up with there's

no way they didn't QA test every

possible role I would be very surprised

if they were able to test every single

possible role that's that's what that's

what we do there's no way to account for

all that and I'm sure some combinations

are going to pop up and you know bunge

will see that and be like oh okay we got

to dial that back or maybe there are

some combinations that just cannot roll

with each other they could have thought

of a couple things that was like okay

look this perk and this perk together

that is going to be a problem so I would

anticipate Bungie keeping an eye on game

breaking perk combinations and being

like yeah these two cannot exist

together am I sure you can't put on a

regular exotic as well I'm pretty

confident in saying that because this

class item is going to be exotic so you

would need to be able to equip two

Exotics at the same time which is imposs

so I'd be very surprised if you could

equip two Exotics you couldn't D1 yeah

but that was a different thing that's a

completely different thing you know what

the class exotic class item did in D1 it

gave you 10% more XP okay that's not

even on the same universe okay don't try

and don't bring D1 into this okay the

next thing is a new enemy race called

The Dread I believe they are called

several different enemies we have uh the

Grim husk Weaver attend

uh the Grim is a flying bat creature not

that this is the husk husk is like a

melee dude and when you kill them they

spawn like a a not it's not exactly a

moth but it is like similar to a moth in

that it'll come chase you down um oh

yeah these little dudes have Strand and

stasis Powers one of their strand Powers

is uh being able to launch you forward

like boom like that so they can kind of

jostle you around tendons which

they Scion

adjacent there you go that's that strand

power we was just talking about sorry

this is also playing in 1.5x

speed so there you go there's an example

of uh the husk getting

killed and a little dude popping

out it's more of a suck rather than a p

fair enough yeah so yeah new

Enemy new enemy race there's the

Grim is a flying creature with a gun and

again the the vioc SL reveal has a lot

more of the specifics in here if you

really do want to get specifics they did

say that they only come out if you kill

it the wrong way true true true true

someone mentioned the uh the buff UI we

have this over here it does seem like

you can only have four things still so I

would love to see like an option to be

able to see more but they did adjust

where Buffs are on your screen it's a

little more Central on the left and

there was also a debuff marker on the

right side here uh because the what is

it the rims can scream and so now your

debuffs are on the right so at least now

they're not stacking so now at least all

of your Buffs are going to be shown

they're not going to be interwoven with

with debuffs so that's some progress

yeah and there was something here as

well in the bottom left above your uh

like ammo and and ability why there was

also something at the top of the screen

uh for a different piece of gam play

yeah see here's your debuffs down here

here's your Buffs over here so there is

more information being able to be shown

on the screen which is good sorry I know

the bit rate is really scuffed right now

cuz this a recording of the uh of the

stream and uh there's there's a a lot of

things happening so uh not really going

to talk too much specifically on like

the locations and the gameplay like

areas of where we are in the campaign

cuz you know that's that's stuff to

experience when we actually uh when we

actually play it I just want to kind of

go over the big three um but it does

look pretty sweet there is also tangle

cooldown being shown over here maybe

this is like a different build there's a

stasis Shard that just popped up on the

right I'm looking

reconstruction it's triggered down here

as well so they are putting information

in different parts of the screen would

the split Buffs and debuffs only apply

to the new subass no I think that's a

global UI Global UI change little work

in progress of uh what this UI is going

to look like I guess we'll conclude this

with like Luke Smith actually making an

appearance for the first time in a

little while talking about giving some

very vague like it's not the end of

Destiny Destiny 2 and Beyond it's not

the end of Destiny

[Music]

2 I don't think he's been working on the

game in a very long time I don't know

what he's been doing but it's it's nice

to see him still around you know I just

don't know what he's been doing because

he hasn't been working on the game

because he passed off uh he passed off

game director quite a long time ago yeah

and he's looking good so I'm going to

let I'm let just some of this gameplay

go while we kind of talk opinions I

think this is the most I've actually

reacted to Something in like a really

long time Bungie does really seem like

they are pulling out all the stops for

this one and yeah you know usually

whenever I watch you know a lot of these

vs or any of this new marketing it's

like I know the bungee marketing machine

go Burr right they are good at a trailer

they're good at marketing they're good

at all that kind of stuff but this was

the first time in in quite a long time

where I was like oh my God they're

actually like doing some Stu they're

actually trying to cook and I think

that's been the reaction from pretty

much everybody is like wow they're

really trying to go nuts here so

multiclassing looks super cool combined

with the Exotic class item I am a little

concerned maybe about like you know I

like this is this has potential to be

incredibly incredibly strong and I've

been saying for quite a while we are

very very strong as is but at the very

least it will be really really fun to

mess with all of these different

elements together the Prismatic subass

making build crafting a a little more

interesting than it is right now because

I feel like we've you know we we know

what aspects are good we know what

fragments are good we know what builds

are good but this is going to give so

much room to explore that space in a way

that we haven't really gotten in a while

I would say outside of subclass 3.0 when

they first came out and I mean this is

also fulfilling the fantasy that I feel

like I get asked about every week which

is like if you could have two Exotics at

the same time what would you if you

could combine two sub classes what would

you like bungees just like here you go

you can do that now now you can do it so

in terms of gameplay like it's looking

really sweet

I don't know how the campaign's going to

go they gave a little bit of a trailer

teaser at the

end and uh it all looks very good and

I'm anticipating that the gameplay of

final shape will be on par with witch

Queen and will be on par with lightfall

like I think in terms of gameplay both

of those were were pretty darn close and

from what we've seen the environments

look pretty sweet gameplay looks neat I

don't know I'm pretty I'm pretty stoked

I feel bad for the casuals though this

is going to be so complicated it is

definitely going to be a bit complicated

for sure but I still think there is fun

to be had even if it is going to be a

bit complicated after the third into the

light stream I was kind of like dude

things are kind of looking up and then

this was the the most I've had a

reaction to like anything in a long time

I don't know I'm I'm

pretty I'm pretty stoked now you know

I'm pretty stoked like things things for

for this looking pretty good after final

shape we'll see where we're at you know

Luke said at the beginning of this vioc

like stay tuned we'll let you know what

we're cooking pretty soon here maybe we

have to wait until some sort of an

August showcase like we've had in over

the past few years I don't know at the

very least final shape itself is looking

to be pretty exciting I think you know

it's it's fun to be excited cuz I feel

like historically or at least over the

past like 3 or four years it's kind of

be like yeah okay new season all right

that looks cool but like if I react to

something a man with the emotional

bandwidth of of this range if you get me

to react to something I feel like you're

kind of cooking something up and I

haven't really read too much public

sentiment I haven't gone on Reddit I

haven't really gone on Twitter my I know

my tweet's doing really well like if my

tweet's doing really well like something

is something Good's happening 6,000

likes yeah I don't hit I don't hit over

5,000 very often so like sentiment

really up which is great I think people

people are really stoked I think

Bungie's cooking right now and uh I'm

pretty excited to like mess around with

the stuff because it was just so

unexpected you know like usually you

mention a new subass or something you

hear about it 6 months in advance so to

hear something like this so close to the

launch and have it be so unexpected just

added to the surpris I think that's why

I was so surprised is because they just

they don't do this they don't do this

very often right they don't tell us

about new giant features two months in

advance they usually tell us six months

in advance and we know what to expect so

I think the

unexpectedness is also what is driving a

lot of the excitement no one saw this

coming no one at all saw this coming I

didn't see this coming you didn't see

this coming we don't know what they have

done with their delay with their extra

time I feel like this is something that

needs considerably more time than 3

months like think dude Onslaught they

said they were working on for months

there's no way they turn around

Prismatic in three months this has to be

something months and months potentially

years in the works saw a poas that said

a Dev told him what else could they do

with their time with the

delay dude I mean to to have to come up

with this from scratch and have it in

this state

for a vok type thing in three months

just seems insane to me I'm sure they

they polished it quite a lot during this

time but to to start it up from scratch

and get it to the state in three months

seems insane am I worried about high-end

content being challenging enough bung is

only going to make things so hard right

they're they're never going to make

things that are like so hard for the top

1% of players they're never going to do

that so I've I've kind of just like not

really put too much into that anymore

I've kind of given up on the whole like

Bungie should make everything in the

game super hard for me mentality just

because it's it's never going to be like

that and it hasn't been so I think the

game will stay

appropriately difficult for the widest

amount of people
