If everything is overpowered, then nothing can be overpowered. I've been trying to tell ppl that since i started goin on the forums.
-
I can only refer back to Hafl-Life 2 where at the end of the game you are ripping things off walls... Overpowered is a fun place to end up...
-
I refer to Titanfall 2. In that game, the lowest time to kill is literally like 0.8 seconds lol
-
Never played it. Destiny is a power fantasy, not a good idea taking away the power.
-
Precisely. Titanfall was kinda the same way (12/10 would recommend if the game didn't die)
-
I just recently found out that Destiny 1 had 25 Million people who bought it. That's 25 Million people owned D1 8 Million+ owned D2 Currently 1 Million people are playing D2 Those numbers are telling us something and it's not great.
-
That is how we get power creep
-
Power Creep is Awesome...

Edited by Dredgen Hatter-3: 7/20/2019 9:45:40 PMNope. Makes things too easy. Leads to boring stuff. There are multiple papers out there on the psychological reasons on why this type of stuff leads to boredom, but I won't go into it
-
Yeah, who wants to kill something in 2 shots, when you can do it in 6 shots... You know this game is a power fantasy right? Not a lack of power fantasy.
-
There's a limit. There's power fantasy, then there's God mode. When one reaches God mode, you essentially can't die. Everything is extremely easy to kill. At first, this seems amazing. You're bulldozing everything, you feel the power! And then...you stop. What more is there that can challenge you? What can stop you? What requires some effort and skill on your part? While we try to deny it, we are ultimately motivated by aspects like that. Those things that are slightly more challenging, things that are bigger than us, maybe even stronger than us. It pushes us to grow, become better, become stronger , more skilled. If we reach a cap, why keep going if we're already stronger than everything? God mode will lead to faster boredom. There is no denying that.

Edited by SwankyButters: 7/20/2019 10:02:36 PMThat limit has killed this game. The easy solution you ADD harder enemies in new raids and adventures, it's that simple... EVERYONE should be able to go into the first raid and crush it. THAT is the power fantasy.

Edited by Dredgen Hatter-3: 7/20/2019 10:01:37 PMFor you maybe, but for us who have been here since d1, it has not. Rather, it pushes us to challenge there harder things. To wield new things, to try new tactics. It is why we're still here. You may choose to fight this, but you cannot deny it. We ultimately like a challenge, but still like to feel powerful. Why do you think there's so many of us still here, my friend?
-
I have been here since D1, night one D1 actually. There aren't that many left my friend. I know you think a million players is a lot but it's not considering it had 10 million at some point. Again, the power fantasy has ways to keep the game interesting as I said, by adding harder raids, harder quests, etc but that being able to go in an destroy the old monsters with ease, THAT is the power fantasy people play games for.

Right, but to what end? Power creep ultimately caused issues with reckoning. They were forced to overtune it....because we are too powerful. That power creep ultimately led to a mode that is impossible without the right builds. It ruined it . As for the amount of people playing, a million is actually a very good number. D2 has been going for almost 2 years now, and it still has this size of a following. That's insane, especially for a shooter-type game. Games like cod? Falloff hard within a year. Too much power. But games like monster Hunter? Dark souls? Last much longer and have almost as large a following. Only games that compete for this amount of years would be wow, final fantasy xiv (which, I recommend 100%. Shadowbringers is hands down the best expansion I've ever played. It's worthy of it's own ff title). Ff I think is pushing ..14 m? (Happy coincidence.) I'm happy to agree to disagree my friend. I'm of the stance that power creep, while fun, will ultimately lead to the deterioration of a game faster than challenge.

Right now Destiny is 24th most popular game... Now while that is not terrible, it's not good either. Some of the games beating it are so old and you wonder how are people still playing said game, like Minecraft from 2009, Grand Theft Auto V from 2013, League of Legends from 2009, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim from 2011, Call Of Duty: Black Ops II from 2012 and Roblox from 2006 and I'm not even sure for the hell that is... My point is, Destiny was going to be huge and it just never was. They made a lot of mistakes along the way and it seems that are still making them. What they need to do is BEG Joe Staten and Marty O' to come back and fix it. I don't see this game ever getting out of the muck otherwise.
-
I'm not sure it's necessary for them to come back, I say let's see how this next year goes, with destiny embracing the MMO ways.
-
We'll see... or I should say... you'll see... I'll most likely not be gone by then.
-
Power creep isn't a good thing... But in this case primaries are in a good spot, scouts need a buff
-
No, it's good with everything, you buff one thing and then you buff something else to get it close to the other buff and you keep going that way till D3 comes out and they take everything away from you anyway.
