It often feels like like content or at least weapon quests etc are thrown at us in times of community displeasure, with no actual longer term plan. They said ages back that they realized we wanted more so they gave us more power, more speed etc..remember the go fast update. And when you consider there's supposed to be a 10 yr plan in someones files, its hard to understand why things are always so.
The lastest round of announced nerfs, while seemingly sensible given Bungie's explanation, just makes me feel this all the more. Why give us Whisper, without looking forward and thinking how is this going to affect things in 6 months. And then to have them say after the activsion split that they were trying to decide on a Bungie only way forward...maybe should have thought that through before split, because i cant believe in the corporate world activison just decide to ditch the game one day and did so the same afternoon. Everything they have done in D2 has ended up feeling almost haphazard given how they usually undo whatever they did at a later date.
Given how Outbreak is already one phasing bosses without the catalyst, its would appear to be a pretty safe assumption that it will nerfed too with 6 months if not come september. Its not that i would want them too, but its hard to not acknowledge how strong it is out the gate. So given all that has happened...

[quote]And when you consider there's supposed to be a 10 yr plan in someones files, its hard to understand why things are always so.[/quote] I think whatever structured, long-term plan there was for this game went out the window back in 2013 when Bungie execs vetoed Joe Staten's supercut for the Destiny 1 campaign. Then Bungie found themselves with a story they couldn't use....while having millions of dollars worth of in-game assets they had to find a way to preserve and use. So they cobbled together the release version of Destiny 1 in a year. Bungie has been in REACTION mode ever since. With Luke Smith being put in-charge of the entire franchise, I think we're seeing the first time in 6 years where this company is finally stepping back and trying to find a cohesive vision of the game for everyone to rally around.
