Hidden Guardians Podcast

We go over our thoughts about the Bungie Showcase from August 24th & chat up all the stuff we loved about it, the new goodies coming in Witch Queen & the 30th Anniversary celebration, plus what we hope is to come after that! Also Vengz returns from his hiatus, as does the recording issues making Outrider drop the occasional syllable (I tried to fix in post as best as possible). Shenanigans are abound in episode 43! Hope you enjoy!

What can we say? After three weeks of covering the sandbox changes coming to season 15, we're excited. This weapon sandbox information has just sent our hype levels through the roof! We stay pretty calm talking about them but we are just so happy to see this meta shift when Season of the Lost starts on August 24, 2021. We also begin with addressing the leaked info that has been spread around social media & our sympathies go out to Bungie & their team for having their work laid bare well before it was set to appear. Regardless, the HGP crew can't wait for the season to kick off & our excitement has never been higher. Enjoy!

The final steps to Season 15 of Destiny 2 are almost upon us but first we need to we need to chat about the upcoming Armor changes, the changes to movement and controller sensitivity, plus mod additions and changes (alas poor Warmind cell mods, you were too spicy). Bacon & Outrider break it all down for you in our usual manner. But first, we find out about Bacon's new favorite sport: Disc Golf. I have no idea either. Enjoy!

Bacon & Outrider chat up all the upcoming ability changes that will be coming in Season 15 starting August 24th, 2021. Overall, we're excited to get our hands on these changes to try them out. Also we discuss the PVP related Twitter thread that Joe Blackburn, the Asst. Game Director for Destiny 2, wrote & what it means for PVP in the future of the game starting with Season 15. And finally there are some minor audio hiccups that we couldn't clean up in post because it's not HGP without something going sideways! Hope you enjoy!

Outrider & Bacon chat about the upcoming Season 15 crossplay arrival & go over all the info found in the TWAB about what to expect. Yes we are genuinely excited for crossplay but have some reservations that should disappear as more info comes out. Also we chat about Master VoG's loot lock out change & Outrider discusses his experiences in Master VoG to date & is hopeful for the future of Master difficulties over all. Hope you enjoy!

*Note: per Community Manager A_DMG (Dylan) on Twitter, you will still only have one chance per character per week at the Vex Mythoclast not 2 per character if you do it on Normal & then Master. This came out after the recording of the show.*

Outrider & Bacon, with special guest & friend of the show Bam, take time away from criticisms about Destiny & focus on talking about the things we actually love about this game. Outrider leads this discussion over a variety of topics & we still don't cover the entire list of things to talk about. I guess this means we like this franchise then, right? Give a listen & tell us what you love about the game or about Bungie! 

Bam can be found streaming at twitch.tv/jedipolaris23

Outrider & Bacon hold down the fort this week as Vengz is on a hiatus for awhile & they chat up the good, the bad, and cursed changes coming to ritual reputation and Grand Master Nightfall content in Season 15. We also throw out some wishes for things we'd like to see happen in season 15 in general as we are just mere weeks away from its launch. But like all wishes, we're afraid that the monkey paw will curl another finger if they come to fruition. Hope you enjoy!

We discuss the upcoming changes & things to do coming in the July 6 patch. As always there are some minor tangents from the topic as well as a bit of hopeful thinking for things to come! Enjoy!

Edit: VoG has 5 challenges not 6 as Outrider says. Apologies for the error on that. 

This week Outrider & Vengz talk about the returning Lunar & Dreaming City weapons which will arrive on July 6th and the new perk each can potentially roll with. We also catch up with the seasonal story as it is reaching the conclusion, plus Outrider talks about his first Grandmaster Nightfall experience with The Glassway offering up the pain. Hope you enjoy!

The gang chats about the games announced at Summer Games Fest & E3 2021 that have peaked our interests. There were a lot of good to downright great things announced & we're here to share our hype & what was the games that we can't wait to get our grubby gamer hands on in the near future! Enjoy!
