One can hope.

I was about to play again and get the new stuff for cheap, but I then found out old content was removed and seeing this new boring content didnt make me wanna play. Destiny 2 is gone it seems. Ive played since the beginning of 1 and I probably wont ever return. Wish bungie would listen and stop money grabbing. Ill probably end up back on warframe. Better content and its free.

@ I’ve been playing Warframe nonstop lately, that’s what made me want to try destiny again. Haven’t played Warframe since 2017 so I decided to try again recently and I love it now.

to clarify what i mean by "truly seasonal", these will be free updates for all players to enjoy aside from im assuming the battle pass, all of the actual CONTENT will be free for all players to enjoy

They're continuing season in Frontiers. The structure of seasons is what's supposed to change.

Just because the end result is a 7 min video doesn't mean I didn't painstakingly edit to make sure it's the best it can be. I actually made many versions of this video before I landed on this one. I can explain my position on seasons in 3/4 sentences. So I can definitely get my point across in 7 mins. I don't aim to waste people's time but rather to critique and question how Destiny is made. Constructive criticism if you will. The title of the video alone may do that. Either way, no video I make is low effort. Except maybe shorts.

@ ya but my point is the truth doesn’t matter, I’m sure it’s not crap but if I’m scrolling and see only 7 mins you’re not making any unique points or backing them up, there simply isn’t enough time, the video shows low engagement and I never watched it so it was more of a consumer telling a creator why I chose not to watch the video. If your video was an hour and 20 mins I would personally have more faith and actually click on it to see what you have to say 7 mins feels like a waste of 7 mins

so if he starts yapping for 3 mins with stuff that adds no value to his point would you be satisfied? what a pointless comment

I don't think I've seen those clips, lol.

Him and Khonshu.

@ khonshu made him do it😂

True

What are you even talking about? People LOVED Rise of Iron. Curse of Osiris was hated because of its extreme lack of content and people feeling mislead.

@ People did NOT love Rise of Iron, people loved Wrath of the Machine. I remember very well all the complaining about how short the campaign was, how Siva enemies were just reskinned fallen, and the play space was reskinned, and the activity had little replayability. People memory hole their initial reaction because the gamers love nostalgia

@ I remember Curse of Osiris too. Sentiment around feeling misled came from everyone thinking this was going to be the update Bungie fixed vanilla loadout and brought back random rolls. Neither Bungie had committed to fixing before the next expansion

100% agree on the story missions except I would disagree on the seasonal activities to a degree. people play the campaign once then never again. thats not to say that campaigns cant be fun WQ, Final shape, hell even lightfall had enjoyable gameplay, but after the first playthrough it was just as boring as the least interesting piece of content. imo, the absolute best thing bungie can do is put a ton of effort into raids/dungeons and like 2 really amazing seasonal activities a year. cut out all the random story garbage that nobody cares about in the long run, and make the gameplay loop of a season genuinely fun instead of focused around a story.

So you want to go back to Curse of Osiris and Warmind era Destiny?

@purewhiteloverbizarrejelly Unironically yes. The issues with those dlcs wasn't really themselves, but the state of the base game

@ “Two Tokens and a Blue”. Yes, neither update addresses vanilla D2’s structural issues, but even then players were upset with the narrative, underwhelming activities, lack of replayability and reward incentives. There is no golden era of Destiny.

Glad it did, that's my goal. It might not be the right move right now. Or even in the future. But still fun to theorize better structures, as the current structure obviously isn't perfect. And the one I propose isn't perfect either, however it could be nice to switch up the predictability of the cycle. We'll see how everything shakes out.

Reskin weapons aren't a big deal if the content is good. At least for me.

@ meh same old kinda activity but after playin this game for 10 years I can’t with the same looking guns anymore lol

I didn't say subpar content. It's just consistently the same content that doesn't improve. Maybe that's changing soon. Also, Justin Truman (a Bungie exec) talks about everything I mentioned in the video at the GDC conference in Tizzles video. So there's plenty of info to back some of this stuff up. Everything was said before the decrease in workforce. And can be looked upon now as (potentially) the cause of it.

As he already pointed out, Justin Truman openly talked at the GDC on stage about the studio philosophy of avoiding over delivering content. And in regards to how the studio is struggling financially, they could survive as countless AAA studios do with large gaps of time between releases. However, once again Bungie's issue is one created by poor management and leadership. At a recent investor call, Sony Interactive Entertainment chairman Hiroki Totoki mentioned that while Bungie's creativity and knowledge of live services are impressive, there is a need for more accountability regarding development budgets and timelines. Basically, the studio can neither manage their time nor money well.

The base enjoyment has always been there. But consistently bad optics and in-game changes that destroy player sentiment drive people away. Always will come back. I will always critique this game in the hopes it can reach its full potential.

The layoffs definitely were a setback (especially the QA side). Some employees are working on other projects, so that's why I don't expect sweeping changes immediately. Hopefully, sooner rather than later.

You do you boo.

I'm just tryna Renew my Grasp, if you know what I mean.

For some people, it's easier to switch. I get it. But honestly, same. Playing other genres is a nice breath of fresh air. And there are so many games to play that are as good, if not better than D2 overall. Regardless, I'll always play new D2 stuff for that looter shooter itch.

A ra ca ca ca ca ca ca ow!

New strikes are cool, but some form of new event to actually get people excited. And provide positive word of mouth would go a long way. Obviously, bringing back each destination is not feasible from a tech standpoint/storage. But they could bring back one, or the campaigns/raids. Even that would smooth things over. A la Age of Triumphs from D1. Reusing assets is a good idea, like the Dreaming City in Season of The Wish. UI is a big undertaking, and they have some stuff in the works for Frontiers. But the updates I'd like to see are more QoL stuff. Not the most important, but wouldn't hurt. Lastly, there are plenty of capable devs at Bungie.

@DylonSan I'm not saying new events would be cool, I'm saying the dev team has already said they're not doing SRL. I'm also saying that anytime they reuse assets player complain about it. Honestly, I'm surprised that the new exotic mission isn't getting any slack for being a rework of the mission of getting into the dreaming city mission. I think there's a disconnect between what the player would like to see and what the devs can do. I also said that it was an industry issue, not just a bungie issue about the devs. Have you noticed it's been taking longer and longer for bugs to get fixed? How long was it for them to fix void hunter super in the dungeon? Or how long has it taken to fix bugs on certain exotics? I'm just saying theirs been a drop in quality this year. But again, that could be said for the industry as a whole. I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just stating my observation and the info I gathered

I didn't even realize I turned bro into a unicorn, thanks for watching all the way through!

Mothman lives on in all of us! Enjoy.

Enjoy!

Hunter.

The game is not dead…12K players is not dead. So much people are use to 200k-300k players on a game, but that’s not realistic! 12k is what destiny 2 is at right now. + there’s no telling how much people are playing on console. No one‘s going to be waiting an hour to get into a PVP match. If you are, that is just your Internet.

Bungie has been slowly fixing issues in Destiny 2 with each content release, their QOL updates have actually gone mostly unnoticed because the PR has been so bad (their own fault). RoI was a good DLC, not great. And I said it was a rung, or two, below TTK in terms of overall content. Perhaps generous, but I associate RoI with Age of Triumph. That's just me. D1 had its fair share of issues, aside from frame rates. The Story initially was horrible, that and the forever 29 grind from VoG was horrendous. A problem they didn't fix for a time. The problem there is that the time it would take to fully update everything is too much in comparison to adding new content to D2. And if they didn't shift the Meta everyone would still be running Mountain top, Recluse, and Anarchy. Finally, yes this is my input it's a YT video not a Reddit post. And an opinion can't be wrong, just different. Doesn't matter what we think anyway, it's fun to discuss. But ultimately, Bungie will do what's best for the game (Financially), which is adding content to D2. Content, old and new.

@@DylonSan I can get behind that. But the only solution isn't perpetually shifting the meta, completely controlling what weapons everyone is using. You pegged the correct weapons, Mountaintop, Recluse and Anarchy, but that issue existed because they stopped working on balancing, and began just continually changing the meta. Still say that is the easy and lazy way, but that's just my opinion. Those 3 weapons, not exotics, but just legendary weapons, were some of the most OP things to ever exist in the game. All one had to do to resolve that is tune each of them down a bit in some manner that brought them back into realm of other weapons. They were hard to earn, so you leave them a bit hot, but not as hot as exotics. Instead, they killed exotics so hard that in any given season, you have a handful of usable exotics at best. My vault is stocked with exotics, many that I worked hard for, that are completely useless and have been for years. Then they spit in our faces. You worked your ass off for the Whisper and the Outbreak Perfected, and then again even harder for the catalysts. Now they reintroduce the missions so you can do it again (ugh!) to get even better versions of the same weapons? Newer player don't mind, cause they weren't here. But OG players are pissed. I know this because I hear it all over Discord and game chat. Perhaps you're correct and Bungie is slowly fixing their way through the tons of issues, bugs and glitches scattered throughout the game. It's kind of a little too late. They spent so long under bad leadership with the attitude 'don't fix, just add. More, more, more." They could spend the next two years just trying to fix all the glitches and never get it done. But, I wish them luck. I wish those that truly love the Destiny universe luck, that Bungie doesn't make things worse.

Eyoo

That's what I say every Wednesday night to my keyboard
