Destiny 2 Locked Old Content Behind New DLC
I want to start off with Destiny 2 because it is a very trendy topic and their subreddit has been up in flames for awhile now over some of the slimy moves Bungie has made. Now if you read the last OwnedCore report I wrote a piece on how Bungie got caught reducing your experience the more you played the game without really telling the player and kinda showing false numbers. Well this time they have gone even further off the deep end. I am talking content from the original game being locked out if you don't purchase the DLC.

If you haven't seen yet Bungie literally put a job post up on their website that said "Create sustainable player progression and chase through Destiny 2's Bright Engram". This is like seeing a WoW job listing that said "Create sustainable player progression and chase through the online mount/pet store". Once this his their Reddit it quickly rose to the top and Bungie took the whole listing down. Is it bad that none of this is surprising me anymore?
For all of you Destiny fans what do you think of Curse of Osiris?
Is all this backlash deserved?
Would you buy Destiny 3?
The Game Awards
The Game Awards! I know, most people don't take these very serious since there is so many but I figured maybe some people want to know if their favorite games won something! Oh and we got some sweet trailers and teasers that I will show here as well. I will link an IGN article at the bottom of this section if you want to look at all the winners and all the trailers since I won't include every single thing.
Game of the Year: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Best Independent Game: Cuphead
Best Strategy Game: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Best Sports/Racing Game: Forza Motorsport 7
Best Fighting Game: Injustice 2
Best RPG: Persona 5
Best eSports Game: Overwatch
Best eSports Player: Faker, from League of Legends
Best eSports Team: Cloud 9
Some personal thoughts on these awards. I think a lot of these were spot on until we got into the eSport section. I keep up with a good amount of eSports and Cloud 9 is not doing well in most major games if any. Faker is a superstar eSport player so that is totally cool that he won but how in gods name did Overwatch win best eSport game when the Overwatch League hit preseason like a week ago? Not to mention how its being streamed on MLG.TV and not Twitch with the viewer count hidden. Lets be real, nobody is watching the Overwatch League right? Its like Quake on crack.

WoW's Mythic Race

On the US release the top guild in NA "Limit" cleared a whopping 9 of 11 bosses day one and that followed swiftly in EU with Method clearing the same but faster. It almost seemed like Blizzard made a mistake with tuning until we realized the last two bosses were not going to be a pushover. Currently there are only 5 guilds on the last boss and a ton more at 9/11. I cant help but raise the question of "were the first 9 just too easy?" Well before we can say "yes" I guess we have to look at the facts of high end raiding right now. These top end guilds are not new to these bosses because they are on PTR. I am not sure how many were on PTR but I can almost say with confidence the first 9 were. But this is not new, Blizzard has been allowing guilds to test the raids for bugs and tuning issues on the PTR for awhile now. So we can either have untested and probably more buggy/exploitable raids or we can let these guilds basically run/master them before they are even out.

- Xavius in EN died one day after release by Exorsus for World First.
- Gul'dan in Nighthold died 11 days after release by Exorsus for World First
- Kil'Jaeden in ToS died 11 days after release by Method for World First
Do you guys think Blizzard should make the bosses a bit harder for the first couple weeks to prolong the Mythic Race?
Is the Mythic Race being shorter better for the game?
Do you even care about anything I am saying right now?
Sco the GM and main tank of Method posted this on Twitter that seemed fitting for this article
On a side note. Pre-orders coming soon for BFA?

Community Interview
Interviewed the Legendary member Laykith about the WoW Mythic Race
Q: How long have you been raiding at a mythic / high end level?
A: For about a year and a half now. Started raiding on Warmanes Lordaeron server, came back to retail in Nighthold, and started mythic right away
Q: Awesome. What are your thoughts on Antorus, The Burning Throne so far?
A: I really love the raid, muuuch better than Tomb. There is not a boss atm which I don't like, yes, even Eonar.
Q: Have you been keeping up with the mythic race?
A: Yeah, I have to. Need to study bosses before i get to them. Can always prevent wipes
Q: Does your guild require having a geared alt to do Heroic Splits with ?
A: No but most have alts so we can split. Optional tho
Q:How many splits do you tend to run? Just two?
A: Yeah just 2
Q: Do you think heroic splits enhance the Mythic race or diminish its value?
A: It changes loads of things. We're almost 3/11m now and our main issue has been dps. With splits gear is higher and from the looks of it. Will make first 5 bosses up to Imonar ezpz
Q: With Limit, Method, and Exorsus going 9/11 in the first 24 hours of release. Do we point the finger at Blizzard for undertuning these bosses or is it ridiculous of us to expect them to tune a boss based on that many splits from top guilds?
A: I think that its a combination of splits + ptr testing. I would say bosses after Imonar were probably under tuned. The bosses are much better than ToS since there are less bullshit overlaps (Mistress, Fallen espc). The downside of the rng overlaps are ofc that its easier to outplay the mechanics. Only real RNG overlap in heroic was Coven. So yeah you can outplay Antorus bosses.
Q: So do you think the days of long mythic races are over with all of the Legion bosses being killed within the first two weeks? If so is it better that the race is shorter from a spectator POV?
A; I don't think the race will be over this or next week. Argus looks insanely overtuned based on that chinese guilds stream. Sco said it was over tuned as well.
Q: Do you expect a nerf incoming for Argus before its killed?
A: I do, but I hope there won't be any. I'd like it if gear was the nerf. Boss looks fine.
Q: If you had to pick a guild to get the World First who would you put your $ on?
A: I think its gonna be method once again, their roster is stronger than ever. But I hope for Exorsus to take this one with 10 ret paladins
Q: lmao is that actually the strat they are using?!
A: its not confirmed but ppl on reddit / mmochamp noticed that most 2nd alt was ret paladin. Seems like they're gearing ret alts. Might have just been that ppl got lucky with bonus rolls. But i really hope we see a heavy wheelchair roster.
