Destiny 2 - Development Update 1-11-18

[b]From Game Director [url=https://twitter.com/cgbarrett]Christopher Barrett[/url]:[/b] [quote]Hey, everyone. At the end of last year, I made a promise that I would update you on our plans for Destiny 2. The team has been hard at work and we’re ready to share where we are headed. We used to wait to talk about game updates until we were certain we could meet our deadlines to avoid letting players down if we changed our plans. No longer. We’re not just listening, we are doing. Please keep in mind that the further out we make promises, the more they are subject to change. With that caveat, [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/46567]here are our plans.[/url][/quote]

    • I keep coming back to the forum to check on updates and fixes, but was this one really needed? Everyone think the loot is sub-par so token gain just end up being non-important. Did they do this now for future updated faction rallies or did they do this so that they don't end up being so lopsided? I'm confused on where Bungie's priority is and have little faith for Destiny's future..... Also forgot: #monsterhunterworld lol

      Thanks for the update dmg04. If bungie can kindly send us all a reminder in 3 years when the games actually finished and all the D1 features put back in, that would be great, ta. Also, if bungie can kindly let us know when D3 is coming out, so we can set a timer for 3 years after release for when that game is actually finished, that would be great too. Best regards, A fed up community. P.s. Don’t worry, we’re listening.

      • I don’t mean to keep pissing on the fire but the main issue with the game is it’s engine. You gave us a deteriorated and tired engine bungie. I think I speak for the community on this 1 issue. Once you announced Destiny 2, first thing I and many many others thought was “ new engine, new RNG system, 60FPS, the Destiny we where promised in 2013. Finally the game will be optimized around PS4 specs rather than PS3 “ But no. What we get is D1 reskinned and reworked. With much laziness spread all over it like the cinnamon butter at Texas road house on the bon bon breads. This has to stop guys. For real. Your careers are on the line here. We have been patient and complacent. Start giving us results and give it to us [b][i][u]NOW.[/u][/i][/b] not in 7 months. I mean, I’m not the one that will have to look for another job here. And talking to you Luke.. yes you, You better get your arse in gear man. Give all the smart remarks you want. I’m not the one who will be out of a job over pure stupidity and negligence. If D2 would have started with a brand new engine, 60FPS@ 1080P brand new weapons that EACH felt different and most sounded different, RNG system fixed, 4 man fire teams, 8 man raid teams, weekly missions added, loot caves, loot specific bosses and events, dedicated servers, and so much more. We would have been happy. But nope. Y’all dumbasses decided to re use D1’s, PS3 spec orientated engine lol 😂 Man. You guys are seriously hardheaded.

            So Bungie, you couldn't add all the content that you removed because it's "too hard to make content" before the game was released. But you stated before this... [quote]We created a system that will allow us to create content much easier[/quote] So, since your "expansion" is coming soon, this must mean it's only going to take you a very short time to add what you removed from the game to resell back to the gamers, but you couldn't add it to the base game? And you wonder why people call you out on your Hog Wash and talk all kinds about you. Oh! I get it. This is to try to make up for all the Lies you were caught in, but you were going to add this stuff to D2 anyways. So how does that work? Edit: [b](The quote below is a reply that is an issue with many gamers on this forum)[/b] It's sad how Bungie can easly string these gamers along knowing they are using the exact same cheap tactics they pulled in D1 vanilla. As I said before, back before D1 was released in 2014 Bungie had (some) Legit reasons on why the game was pushed out as an unfinished product. And now they are trying to play a game with the player base trying to use what happen with D1 all over again almost 4 years later. [quote]I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt for at least the tenth time here bungie.... make us proud[/quote] [b]My reply and I don't care how anyone takes it. It's what I believe and it shows how Greedy and Lazy this company actually is and how they are toying with the gamers.[/b] That's the problem here with a hell lot of gamers. Every time Bungie pulls their nonsense you will say the same thing to try justify you wanting to play the game "hoping" things will change knowing they wont. [b](Lying to one self is the worst thing anyone can do to themselves)[/b] You are not giving them the benefit of the doubt at all. You are hanging on to false hope and you know for a fact they are going to keep pulling the same nonsense and you will blow it off when they throw you a bone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTUQyEr-sg0 [b](Now, i'm not telling anyone to stop playing this game)[/b] All i'm saying is, if you want to lie to yourself that is your prerogative. But don't Lie and say they are "improving this game" to everyone else knowing what they pulled this last month or so. That is like an abusive relationship saying i'm giving you the umpteenth try and the one that is being abused is saying, they didn't mean to heart me, they just made a "mistake and will get better" even though they been abusive to me so many times. It's a rough way of putting it and I know some some might come on here and make a stupid reply off of this but it's the truth. Go ahead and keep abusing me is exactly what gamers are saying. Don't worry, I don't mind and I wont say anything at all. I'll just stay silent like I usually do. [b](Bungie planed all of this)[/b] they have the content already created that they will add that was removed from this game when it comes to the small petty things like ships, ghost, gear, weapons, shaders etc... (that was so easy to ad to end game content but they deliberately refused to so they could use it as bait later as they are doing right now) So knowing what they stated that they will add to D2 [b](all of that could of been added when the game was released)[/b] and that is a fact. The reason they didn't is because they don't have enough content as far as raids ect... Bungie is not offering nothing to this game knowing what they are adding was already in the game and gamers are acting like they are "improving things" is an illusion Bungie created and have been for the last couple years that gamers fall for every time. Cosmetics are [b](not)[/b] improving the game at all and that is a fact knowing the major lack of actual content like raids, or opening up areas to be patrolled. NO, they added a puny area to run around in and blocked everything else off with this puny expansion and tried to act as if they were actually oferring something to the gamers. It's just stringing you and other gamers along knowing this company could be [b](adding actual content)[/b] instead of just the petty stuff... Now, if Bungie added a raid Other events like POE or something like it A lot More events on the planets instead of the boring public events and lost sectors that a 5 your old can complete Actual quest and bounties like ROI has etc... I could believe they are trying to improve this game if they made that effort. But No, they are adding things that everyone had already and (you are saying thank you) for reselling back to me what was already in the game and it's the small petty stuff at that.

                      • PvP is extremely frustrating. The matchmaking constantly puts you against 4-man teams while playing solo, nearly every lobby has WiFi-warriors (or just players on poor connections) who sponge my bullets, or players from other continents that results in massive delays in hit registration etc... Yes the PvP can be boring and full of team shotting passive players, i can deal with that but the constant lag issues make the game unplayable. I have to leave 9/10 lobbies if i want to play a game where i’m not facing a 4-stack and/or lagging players. Fixing the matchmaking and improving the netcode should be a top priority, but instead you are going to spend resources on some emotewheel.....

You’re doing an epic job...... basically you’re bringing features from D1 back and bullshitting it to us as “improvements” ..... you guys really effed up with D2, but dragging this timeline until FALL?!?!? You guys are daft and won’t have any players left once you get Destiny 1.5 up and running......

                          • So this week you decide to throttle tokens from lost sectors so people won't get too many tokens per hour to spend on OLD loot?! Seriously Bungie how about you work on your "update" list instead of worrying about how many tokens people have.

                          • DESTINY 2 NEEDS D1 Import Destiny 1 complete story and raid into Destiny 2. Then make a way to replay the entire story not just 3 random missions. YOU WANT TO MAKE ALL YOUR GAMERs HAPPY, ITS SIMPLE INTEGRATE DESTINY ONE GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION INTO DESTINY 2! WE ALL WIN!! We the daily gamer who grind and find every fragment and secret exotic raid weapon that you created. I would even be willing to pay $20 buck more for the ADD-IN, 40-400 light clap would be the great place to start the first expansion for D2! MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND WE WILL FORGIVE YOU FOR NOT TRANSFERRING OUR WEAPONS THAT STILL WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT THE IRON TOWER! YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING BIG IF YOU EXPECT US TO PAY FOR THE THIRD EXPANSION COMING NEXT YEAR!! YOUR CHOICE!!

                            • I love the "scale is tipped to much towards everworse" line, yes because you designed it this way, this was just a way to see how far you could take things. And then you go "oh tess actualy seems to have alot of stuff in her inventory" what?! Did you guys keep adding stuff into her store and forget about the previous things you added? You're trying to make it out like it was a mistake and now you're insulting your customers by thinking we'll believe it.

                              So this game won't be finished until fall 2018? I would definately retract these notes and have this finished much ("sooner") than fall 2018, or you will have all these "fixes" and no players lol. At the current rate I think Destiny 2 has already met it's end. I would save all the "hardwork" that's gone in , and going into the game and just give up. It's over. You have ruined an absolutely amazing game and have turned it into some SHITHOLE game. Why do we always get destiny games from SHITHOLE developers. 😂

                            • If you weren't as lazy as you are, D2 should've been a great successor. You've gotten lazy because most of the minority that play D2 are just happy with and don't care about anything and will accept whatever happens like some misguided optimist. There's also another reason: the other side, the majority of players who choose to stay and see what happens want to be heard. But nobody's gonna listen if they shout like a deranged maniac and point fingers. There seriously needs to be a clear outline of the what needs to happen, in a respectable coherent manner. Even a live stream sit-down with the live team that gets players to come up and ask questions that are of real importance to everyone. None of that "we can't say or promise anything" or "we hear you" crap. Over the last few years, Bungie's promises have gradual meant nothing to anybody. We want full disclosure. [b][i]Nothing left out.[/i][/b] The [i]full[/i] truth in moving forward. That's what has to happen if D2 ever wants to pick itself up from the pig stie and walk on its own two feet.

                              A few thoughts and translations: Nothing definite. [i]Eververse We recognize that the scales are tipped too far towards Tess at the moment, and Eververse was never intended to be a substitute for end game content and rewards. So, we’ll be making three changes for upcoming Seasons:[/i] [b]We've been caught out. Sorry we were too dumb to see this coming.[/b] [i] We’re shifting the balance of new content in favor of activity rewards over Bright Engrams. This includes adding Ghosts, Sparrows, and ships (to date found only in Bright Engrams) to achievement reward pools.[/i] [b]So, You'll get sparrows and stuff [u]instead of[/u] armor guns class items that are useful to the game.[/b] [i] We'll provide a gameplay path to earn Bright Engrams and all contained rewards (including Event Engrams).[/i] [b]There's already a gameplay to earn Bright Engrams. We're just pretending this is a new idea.[/b] [i]We’ll give players more direct purchase options and make adjustments to Bright Engrams to allow players to get the items they want more often.[/i] [b]We're reducing the gambling, 'cos it looks like the Feds are interested, but we're jacking the prices up.[/b] [i]Completing Nightfall, Raid, and Crimson Days milestones during Crimson Days will reward you an exclusive Legendary Emote, Weapon Skin, and Exotic Sparrow, respectively.[/i] [b]We thought of giving guns and armor, but hey! Who would pass up a good fancy sparrow for a good gun? C'mon![/b] [i]We are still investigating changes to XP earn rates. Our goal with any updates to XP are transparency and consistent XP gain regardless of your preferred activity. Right now, it’s too slow in general and lopsided towards grinding specific activities (which is not a fun grind) [/i] [b]Apparently, what we thought would be fun, isn't considered fun by 99% of the players! We don't understand why players don't know what fun is. We do! Why can't they?[/b] [i]January 30 Update Masterwork Armor We are expanding the Masterwork system to include armor.[/i] [b]We know the Masterworks Weapon System is crap, annoying, and almost non-existent. We intend to extend that to Armor, so Armor Masterworks is crap, annoying and almost non-existent.[/b] [i] Raid Reward Rework We are updating Raid rewards to make them more unique and interesting. They will now feature mods with Raid-specific perks, and we are adjusting the rewards to ensure a Raid item drops from each major encounter. The Raid vendor will also directly sell Leviathan and Eater of Worlds armor and weapons for purchase with Raid tokens and Legendary Shards. We are also adding a new Ghost with Raid-specific perks that has a chance to drop from the Leviathan and Eater of Worlds final encounters. We intend to return to creating more Raid and other activity-unique rewards in the future.[/i] [b]We are very well aware that there is a higher percentage of players who don't / can't do the Raids. This was evident in D1 also. To address this discrepancy, we've decided to do nothing at all about it, but give a few ghost shells and other shit to those who do play the Raids.[/b] [i]Strike Scoring is coming to Nightfall and replacing the current time limit mechanic. [/i] [b]Yes, we know timed Nightfalls was a stupid idea, but to be fair, no one here at Bungie realized it was such a stupid idea. We thought it was just a bit dumb, not actually stupid.[/b] [i]Work is underway on a full rework of armor and weapon mods.[/i] [b]See above. Substitute "Mod" for "Timed Nightfall"[/b] [i]Crucible. We want to give players new reasons to play.[/i] [b]Naturally, Crucible will still be almost unplayable due "balance" but "balance is, we believe, and absolute essential part of the game, and the fact that many disagree is just too bad. All calls to separate PvP and PvE will continue to be ignored and unexplored.[/b] . I got tired of it around this point.

                            • As tripleWreck and others have said these changes are welcome but don't address the systemic problems Destiny 2 currently has. Your problems are loot and shooting. Loot is not fun and the ways to earn loot through tokens is boring and not fun. The shooting is not fun because you implemented a two Primary weapon system. The characters builds are not fun because you reduced the skill tree and gap. This development update doesn't address the loot or shooting. Masterworks are neat but boring; mods are interesting idea but boring.
