Destiny 2 Coming to Battle.net

[Rosencrantz]

They are sort of ... sister companies? Under the same umbrella at least. I don't see it as a bad move, but I do hope if they keep expanding the list of Bnet supported games that they add a feature to hide the icons of games we don't play on the left bar.

[endersblade]

The question I want to know is, Does Destiny 2 include the content from Destiny 1 as far as PC players go? It makes no sense to start the second game if you can't even play the first.

[bowchikabow]

Am I the only concerned with how much they copied/plaguerized Ultron? lol

[Saverem]

What will 100% determine whether I buy/pre-order Destiny 2:

Whether or not I get a pet and/or mount in WoW for doing so.

[TriHard]

I was actually the most excited about this particular news compared to the rest they showed. So I am hyped about it, love that I can also keep in touch with Bnet friends while I play D2 when it finally arrives.

Great now DDOS bnet shuts down more games and picks up more people willing to try to do it.

It was stated that Bungie will be taking care of server support and costumer support for Destiny2

[Jueles]

Yay. Need more stuff to buy with wow gold. Please add electricity payments to battle.net balance as well guys, I'd pay them via wow gold too!

Brilliant idea! I would actually take the time and start farming for gold if it would pay my hydro bill (electricity).

Nope, atleast read the FAQ, Bungie are the ones hosting the servers. Blizzard is basicly just hosting the icon.

[Andonais]

Its smart the only alternative really is steam and this will maybe get people to check out OW or hearthstone.

[Wildmoon]

I mean it's a strange move that I am not sure what to feel. It will feel weird having non-blizzard game on the app though.

[Kapaya]

Best fucking news ever. Instantly stocked up on tokens for this!

[RealistKilla]

Here's the inside story ppl.

Destiny is actually very similar to Blizzards "titan" project. It's obvious to me that's the REAL reason blizzard fucking scrapped titan. They are both multiplayer first person shooter games in an open world. Basically an mmorpg. Activision came in and said 'hey we can't have you putting out competition for our mmorpgfps, scrap that massive project, make some silly battleground game like team fortress and we will cross Promote Destiny with you.' Just because your only hearing it now doesn't mean this deal was struck last week. These companies plan shit like this years and even decades in advance.

Apparently you don't understand how this'll increase load on B-Net authentication servers.

[deadman1]

ist clearly fucking activision who push blizard to put it on battlenet

they say they wuld not put other game on it, haha, more lies incoming;p

They don't own blizzard, it's a partnership the company is called "Activsion Blizzard"

- - - Updated - - -

This can only be good.

Much better than putting it on a cesspool of shit stores like Origin and Steam where social features are stuck in the 2000s.

Yet blizzard doesn't even let you appear offline ...

great move blizzard... shame that wow tokens have skyrocket again and are over 120k now

120k lol

207k currently in EU

[ls-]

Damn, that's actually great news for Blizzard...

People will be buying Destiny (and prob services for it) by paying w/ b.net balance which can be topped up by using WoW Tokens, so Bungie will be getting their share (game, service, etc price) and Blizz will be getting theirs (each WoW Token is $5 profit, even if redeemed $15 were spent on Bungie title), noice

[dejec1989]

Amazing news! I wouldn't trust anyone else for that. To put the game on the b.net platform means that Blizzard personally backs it, which to me is all I needed as proof of quality.

I think you are jumping the gun there, it just means that bungie is a part of activision and are using what is essentially an in house delivery system for destiny 2 as activision does not have one like Blizzard, Steam, EA ect.

[meumaxu]

there´s no wow tokens to buy on NA now lul

[Darkagial]

Nope, atleast read the FAQ, Bungie are the ones hosting the servers. Blizzard is basicly just hosting the icon.

"Blizzard’s servers will be used for features related to the Blizzard platform, such as login and social functionality." DDOS the login server and you affect Destiny 2.
