            - IB overhaul seems to be set for S15, which is when that armour would come out

        - Thorn-themed Armor set
        - D1 Weapons (Eyasluna, Matador, etc.)
    - Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack:
        - Release Date - 21st December 2021
        - New PvP mode (No Abilities, Weapons Only) called "Hardware"
        - 4 new PvP maps new to D2 (2 brand new, 2 from D1)
        - Prison of Elders is no longer planned, only content looks to be New Dungeon, 2 Secret Missions and the PvP content
        - Buyable pack between 15 and 16, Bungie want the Halo CE Magnum in this pack,
          Dungeon (unique exotic), Unvaulting D1 content, MANY exotic quests, weapons, armours celebrating Bungie,
          so Halo & Marathon tie-ins
        - New Weapons from past Bungie Games:
            - Sniper from Halo (Exotic Heavy)
            - Gravity Hammer from Halo (Exotic Heavy)
            - Battle Rifle from Halo (Legendary)
            - CE Magnum from Halo (Legendary)
            - Claymore from Myth (Not Sure)
            - GL from Paths and Darkness (Not sure)
            - Shotgun from Marathon (Not sure)
            - Halo weapons will have a new recoil frame, increasing their hipfire and in-air accuracy
            - Possible some weapons/gear from Oni as well
        - Private Bubble in "The Plains of the Nine" acting as a Scavenger Hunt for Strange Coins, when you've accumulated 23 you
          can go to Xur and buy Gjallarhorn(s)
        - Will ship with a full cosmetic spread i.e. Emblems, Shaders, Ghosts, Sparrows, Ships

        - Halo Themed Armour for each class:
            - Hunter: ODST
            - Titan: Reach Spartan
                - Master Chief was not the choice for the Titan armor set because it would be far too "on the nose" for a
                  crossover, Carter set is much more of a Sci-Fi mishmash
            - Warlock: The Arbiter
        - 2 Secret missions (both Halo themed)
        - 1 of the 2 seasonal teams working on the pack, apparently $75 value, gonna sell for about $20
        - Apparently gonna be a 30% off Eververse sale on around the time it drops
        - Slight chance of one of the secret missions featuring a 3 player vehicle, as [Bungie] were toying around with this concept
          in RnD earlier in the year but ran into netcode issues
    - Anti-Cheat:
        - Anticheat not next season but DEFINITELY this year
        - Anticheat is wanted by Q2 2021
        - Anticheat (BattleEye) April at the earliest, June at the latest

- WQ:
    - Release Date - 22nd February 2022
    - Early concepts for WQ armour (think trenchcoats/other western styles)
    - Theme: "southern gothic" and "detective"
        - Twin Peaks vibe
        - Internal tagline of "Survive the Truth"

    - MAJOR FUCKING WQ AND Y4 STORY SPOILERS SERIOUSLY DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT:
        - Savathun be rezzed by a Ghost (fulfilling that whole devotion/bravery/sacrifice thing).
            - [Bungie] didn't want her to "steal" the Light, so as to keep the Traveler and Black Fleet morally grey.
        - Will be revived in the Witch Queen (more on this in that section)

        - NEW HIVE CALLED LUCIENT LIEUTENANTS GET LIGHT ATTACKS AND ARE NOT FRIENDLIES.
            - Lucent Lieutenants have full subclasses e.g. Knights get Sentinel, so supressor nades, barricades, etc.
            - Hive having Ghosts will factor into gameplay
            - In addition to the Lieutenants and Ghost mechanic, they will have SIVA Splicer-esque quirks (think the no
              headshots thingy)

        - WQ Campaign:
            - Campaign will be 8 missions long, 5 will be of Presage quality or higher
            - 1st Mission overview:
                - You go to Mars, it's stuck in a past(grassy)/present/future(taken) rift
                - come up to the peak of a hill where you see the Dreadnaught for the first time
                - with Caiatl's Cabal Fleet fighting the Hive in the skybox (very Phobos mission-y)
                - Working with Ikora Rey, you launch yourself with a man-cannon onto the ship
                - this is where you fight a Hive Guardian for the first time
                - then you find the portal to Savathun's Throne World on board
                - you go through, find Savathun who sends you straight back to Mars
        - Savathun tricks us into giving her memories back to her using "Deep Sight", as when she was revived by her Ghost she
          lost them all
        - She tries to trick the Traveler into her Throne World, attempting to cut off the outside Universe from its Light using
          a "big bowl", said "bowl" is also where the Strike will be
        - After defeating Savathun in the Campaign, she tells you "The Witness is coming".
        - The Traveler then takes her body and her Ghost escapes.
        - The Witness reveals itself "I have seen enough, I am coming"
        - At the end of the campaign, the Pyramid ship will activate, starting the road to the Raid
    - Weapons are at their memory limit right now, solely due to masterworks genning orbs
        - so they are removing this aspect of masterworking for Witch Queen
        - gonna be making Armor mods that fulfil the same purpose (this means that un-mwed guns will be able to gen orbs)
        - 34 new weapons vs the 14 in Beyond Light
    - Exotic Armor (All will be changing but still have similar concepts):
        - Gauntlets like Nothing Manacles (from D1)
        - Boots like Radiant Dance Machines (from D1)
        - Gauntlets like No Backup Plans (from D1)
    - Destinations:
        - Nessus and EDZ are being vaulted
        - Revamped D1 Mars (corrupted by the Taken & Hive)
        - Savathun's Dreadnaught (integrated into Mars bubble)
        - Savathun's Throne World (2x the size of Oryx's Dreadnaught, 3 Lost Sectors)
    - General:
        - WQ will have same levels of secrets as Taken King Dreadnaught
        - New Ultimate Ornaments (think snazzier Exotic ornaments)
        - Forsaken goes F2P (to be vaulted with Lightfall)
        - Sparrow 2.0 planned but not final
        - New tincture-esque mechanic called "Deep Sight" learnt during the campaign used to root out Savathun's memories within
          her Throne World as well as tying into weapon crafting
        - New weapon type "Glaives" (will be the second 3rd person melee weapon type, have class-based mechanics and only
          available through weapon crafting)
        - Crafting system is to create + upgrade dual wielding weapons
        - 9 Player PvE "The Foothold" has been downgraded to 6 Player because matchmaking and PvE netcode for 9 Players is
          not not up to par
    - All future raids and dungeons to have Adept gear

    - WQ RAID SPOILERS:

        - WQ raid takes place on a broken down pyramid in Savathun's Throne World
        - Hive or Taken as main enemies
        - Final Boss will be Darkness-based (likely the "Envoy of The Witness")
        - Still being pushed as "the most ambitious raid yet"
    - 5th Element: Opposite system, "Vapour" Element, DoT type beat think Thorn
    - Savathun's Hive brood have a whiteish-grey colour palatte with a dark blue accent for the eyes (apparently very mothlike)
    - Strike modifiers could *potentially* return with Witch Queen
    - Plan in Discussions to Expand Savathun's Dreadnaught over the course of the year and have it up to the size of
      Oryx's Dreadnaught by the end of the year
    - D1 Tower makes its return at some point during Y5
    - "Sparrow 2.0" potentially for Witch Queen (whatever that means, I have no details yet)
    - Subclass 3.0
        - 1 Element per season
        - S16: Void
        - Includes reworks not just conversion
        - We would have all elements revamped by S18

        - Eliminating Power Levels
            - Power Play:
                - in S14, Power Level will only increase by 10 points
                    - This is only a temporary fix until "World without Power"
    - Studio is now openly discussing setting up a "Rituals Team" for Strikes, Crucible and Gambit to keep them updated throughout
      each year separate from the 2 rotating Seasonal Teams
    - Iron Banner Rework Approved Details:
        - Brand new armour set for each class, Hunter set is inspired by a yak
        - There will be 2 brand new IB weapons, a kinetic shotgun and a LMG.
        - Each season will get 2 new OR reissued weapons, with the 2 oldest getting removed
        - Aim is to reinvigorate interest in the iron banner playlist by overhauling loot structure and match rulesets.
        - Vendor will be overhauled to be like crucible/strikes, no more tokens
        - At the start of an IB week, all player rank with saladin will get reset and begin anew
        - Rank up by playing matches, earn +10% rank for each IB armour piece worn, up to 50% (you cannot use a general ornament
          on the armour, it must be ib armour or an ib ornament)
        - Any IB emblem will count as +10% so you can run an exotic armour piece
        - At Rank 6, you can reset your vendor rank to earn the emblem + shader, and earn better loot for each new level

        - 2 dailies and repeatables added, gives rank up progress
        - Iron banner matches will give iron engrams, or superior iron engrams, NO BLUES OR WORLD DROPS HALLELUYAH
        - Superior engrams give weapons with exclusive IB perks, and armour with high stats and 2 categories with 16+ stats.
        - New armour sets will have an IB mod socket with mods specifically for ib, granting anything from more super to weapon
          damage bonuses.
        - The match rulesets will be tuned so things like the hunt grants the team a weapon damage bonus, but the other team
          a super energy generation bonus.
              - It's meant to play like a custom version of mayhem so the matches are short, fun, and easy to engage with.
        - New title, IRON LORD. Guildable, and meant to be as hard as flawless/conqueror to earn.
        - Eververse IB stuff to act as a “tip jar” like the zero hour mission ornaments. Finishers, emotes, exotic ornaments, etc.
    - New Perks Throughout the Year:
        - Grenade Buckler: “Grenade kills reload this weapons magazine and grant bonus damage for a short duration”
        - Who’s Next?: “Reloading after a kill greatly increases target aquisition and ADS speed for a short duration”
    - New Title "Weapons Master":
        - Requires all weapon kill triumphs and is gildable
        - Not sure whether triumphs are retroactive or not (leaning yes)
