Honestly, the Destiny franchise is facedown drowning. Bungie may not be able to recover from this one. We've recovered from pretty bad spots before, but this would take an absolute miracle, and Bungie has damaged their relationship with its community and PR too badly for me to believe this is possible... Unless Bungie can implement changes like: - REMOVE the portal and hum life back into the world. - Make every accessible activity have purposeful/ desirable loot. Activities need to be replayable. - Reintroduce vaulted content so new players can actually follow a story. Maybe in world page add a light and darkness toggle so any changes do not have to be modified. Have the Y1-Y3 destinations and activities on light page and Y4-Y7 destinations and activities on the dark page. Y1/Y2 content wouldn't need to be as in depth as it was when it launched like doing public events and bounties between missions, etc. I would be fine without seasonal contents being reintroduced unless added as a rotator like exotic missions. If the leviathan and old vaulted locations can be replicated or redesigned into seasonal activities, then reintroducing/ replicating these locations and activities is achievable. - Allow all subclasses fall under just the prismatic subclass and just add a toggle to activate/deactivate prismatic and the mixing of abilities (this will allow for much more customization options while simplifying the subclass interactions). - The current tiering and stat reworks are good; although, god rolls are too easy to obtain, and certain perk combinations should be harder to get. - Ability spamming in the crucible is a nightmare... Set ability stats (super, grenade, melee, and class) to have no benefit above 100 (which allows abilities to be stronger pre-EoF, but wouldn't completely ruin PvP). - REMOVE PvP lobby balancing, reintroduce flawless in trials, allow legacy decoding for trials weapons, and return Iron Banner as a monthly activity. - Bring Pantheon back as a core activity and have a weekly or monthly rotation of encounters from all raids to keep it feel refreshed. Marathon so far isn't proving that it will carry Bungie very far, Destiny has proven even past its droughts that it can. Destiny 3 should be the priority even if it takes 3-6 years to develop. Personally, EoF and Renegades are not expansions that I care for in this game and would be fine seeing gone. Destiny needed to be in a healthier state before the launch of Marathon. If Marathon fails (which it is showing that can) the Destiny franchise has always been Bungie's "Ace". With these changes above, I could be content and happy playing Destiny 2 if I know something is in the works. What are your thoughts?
