    When they introduced Stasis they changed the Subclass selector to have spots for three subclasses on each side of the larger center icon which had your current subclass (And the current subclass was greyed out in the smaller boxes on whichever side). When Lightfall came out the subclass selector was changed again to have one diamond with four smaller boxes inside, representing the unused subclasses, and your current subclass in the larger center diamond. This seemed obvious to me that they changed their mind on having a 6th subclass (Any time soon).

Money isn’t the problem it’s pure manpower. And unless bungie wants to devote most the studio to Destiny which they aren’t. Where not going back to that.

It's just some notable locations have grown in this malleable landscape. There will be plenty of new assets they showed other locations that are completely new and hinted at more. It's also 6 months away still, they will still be working on more content for it.

    I'm shocked at how boring this presentation was., especially with the context of what it represents, and how excited bungie employees seemed for it in the lead up. Lightfall had a better showcase even, and we know how that turned out. I needed them to really bring the heat to get me on board with purchasing and they didn't, so at this point post Lightfall I'm done. If it comes out and gets good buzz I'll maybe check it out but there was nothing to draw me in. I will say I'm glad they're going more quality than quantity with seasons.

Only reason I think that is because they are basically mini tormentors and just seem very lack luster add on. Same with the supers, it feels like they tacked on new enemies and supers simply because it wasn’t there before and they knew there would be major backlash if those things were absent. Not saying that these things being added are bad, it just has a slight sour taste to it all in my opinion.

I should have expected that there wouldn't be a new subclass, its a bummer because that leak with red looked so real and then the announcement of 3 supers got exciting.
