Let me first state that this game is not perfect! But it is definitely not a trash game either :)
Being a HUGE D1 fan, i have had a lot of fun in D2. I have 200 hours at the moment, and i still return every week to complete some milestones and play raid with friends in the weekends.
(Yes i actually find the raid funny, not the best one they ever made, but definitely not the worst either! *cough* Crota *cough*)
[b]90% of posts on the forum right now:[/b]
[b]Bungie lied to us![/b]
- No? I have yet to see anything they promised pre-launch that has not been implemented. You might not like the actual implementation, but Bungie has not lied to you.
[b]Bungie stole my money![/b]
- Come on! Research what you buy before you buy it! Don't pre-order a game and then whine about pre-ordering it because you didn't like it. Just wait til after it is released and do some initial research before you buy. This is really your own fault!
[b]Bungie fix your game[/b]
- Bungie is not gonna throw away everything in their hands 2 months after launch and completely redesign a game that they just only published on all platforms. How can people seriously expect this?
[b]This game is shit / etc etc...[/b]
- How are you supposed to fix anything from posts like this? I am all for constructive criticism, but being a developer myself, i can tell you that nothing will ever get fixed based on posts like that.
[b]The devs does not listen to their community![/b]
- Bungie has already stated in a weekly update that they know people are complaining about lack of end game content, and they are looking into it. And the TwitchCon stream showed that the live team is working on all sorts of other fixes to address concerns. They might not answer every possible thread on the forum, but based on the quality of posts on this forum, it is quite understandable.
[b]Lack of content![/b]
- This is a brand new game? Did people expect this to have the same amount of content as D1 Y3, a game with 4 released expansion packs and 3 years of post-launch development?
[b]PVP is runied![/b]
- I like the new PVP alot more than in D1! But for those that dont, blame the people that flooded the forum in the D1 era with posts whining over Crucible being unbalanced! Stupid Bungie for listening to the community ;)
[b]D2 is dying! / Player base is disappearing[/b]
- I cant even count how many times i have read this in the D1 era without the game ever dying! And who expects a game to never loose player base with time? At some point you will always exhaust the content. This seems completely normal to me.
[b]My own suggestions for improvements:[/b]
[b]Strike specific loot [/b]- Gives a reason to play strikes in the endgame.
[b]Heroic lost sectors[/b] - Not sure how this would work :) But lost sectors are a very cool addition to the game, and a system that would make them relevant at end game would be cool. Maybe a weekly milestone for completing a hidden heroic lost sector?
[b]A more comprehensive mod system for weapons[/b] - Now that weapons have fixed rolls, i always thought it would be more of a "build your god roll" instead of RNG. Mods are really under-utilised for weapons. Much potential here for improvement.
[b]Iron banner rewards underwhelming[/b] - Seems like Bungie is already working on fixing this.
[b]Raid loot system underwhelming[/b] - Agreed, but i find the raid quite enjoyable anyway.
The world design of D2 and the way you interact with the world is 100x better than D1!
[b]Conclusion[/b]
If you really dont like the game then just move on. I have bought many games in the past that i regretted, but i dont spam the games forum with crap posts for weeks after finding out. I usually just find another game to play instead.
D2 is a very solid game in my opinion, i have had great fun with it. My average play time at this point has fallen (as is normal), but i still enjoy returning a couple of times a week with friends doing Nightfall, Raid and Crucible/Iron Banner. I am really looking forward to the next DLC and season 2 to see what Bungie comes up with. They have always done a great job with post-launch content.
[b]---- UPDATE ----[/b]
For all the people that still dont think Bungie listens to its community. Please read this: https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/46427 as stated in this post, it was reasonable to think Bungie would focus on releasing the game on all platforms before starting to redesign features :D

The forum is a tiny tiny bit of the population, most of them under 18. I don't blame bungie at all for ignoring this puberty fest.

2 RepliesPeople want Bungie to reply to their posts when they don't offer constructive criticism. People have no common sense.

The problem is, a hole, that we do love this game. We love it for what it should be. This week at Bungie only proves that we have a reason to bitch an complain. Eventually we'll get the game we payed for, eventuallly...

Hm, whatever you say.

Game is absolutely as bad as people make it out to be.

Dude.. You can try as hard as you want to make light of the situation.. but fact is, the game just really isn't that good.

Yes it is sheep. When the people you fly out to deepthraot your game hate on it. THERES A PROBLEM!!!

Yes it is

1 Replysadly destiny 2 is to easy. Everything from the story to end game is either just handed to you or it race to get through it. Not to mention the so called story makes no sense. What happened to all the weapons and armor I had on me before these events started? Also what happened to my ship. where did I get this crap ship I have. I like to take my time, but when the game itself creates the environment of everything is a speed run. that gets old very fast. even the heroic encounters are lackluster and rewards are total crap. adding a timer to nightfall just say we are to lazy to actually make nightfalls better. there was not allot wrong with nightfall in D1 in the first place. I can't stand PVP, but as in D1 I get more or less forced to play PVP , becausewhen your milestones are pvp based and even clan is pvp bases and you've done all other content several times you really have no choice. D2 pvp is boring and if I can go positive then either I am being put against the crappiest players of all time.

I enjoy the raid..so on weekends I log on and run it a couple times and maybe help a few people with their ratking quest and thats it. All done with lfg. I like the game for what it is. I don't compare it to d1. Not sure anything can compare to d1..

2 RepliesI agree with you. The thing is the flaws are really hard to overlook that is why the forums are so salty.

So glad somebody else feels this way

I agree, it’s worse.

2 RepliesSadly you writing what is honestly just another text wall doesn’t make what many players are feeling any different. The game was simply a let down. We all bought a really nice looking house from the outside great curb appeal then we went inside only to find out there were no walls floors or a ceiling. The house of cards fell apart the minute we opened the door.

2 RepliesIt's trash to what Destiny is. It's been dumbed down drastically. This should have been an expansion but they got greedy and thought, let's dumb this game down so we can sell this to everybody and their brother. In other words, they sold put and ripped out what made the game great.

Edited by Iccotak: 10/27/2017 2:05:01 AM[quote]Lack of content! - This is a brand new game? Did people expect this to have the same amount of content as D1 Y3, a game with 4 released expansion packs and 3 years of post-launch development?[/quote] Really? That excuse? Destiny 2 is not supposed to make the same mistakes as Destiny 1 especially considering how bad that launch was. It was not until Y3 that D1 was considered a whole game. I do not understand the defense "It'll get better" or "If just came out" or "Wait for DLC". There are tons of games that have lots of playable content available to keep a player busy before they even think about DLC. There was a time when updates weren't a thing, what you saw is what you got. Why are we excusing incomplete products? You know why games like Skyrim and Borderlands were such successes? Because they launched as whole products and you didn't need buy DLCs to make the game whole. There was so much content that DLCs weren't needed for a while. We got them because they added on to an already complete experience. All we want is what this Demo was promising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTfhrONAp-c At 2:00 we see the developer show off and promise huge open world spaces. They were making an Epic Large Shared World FPS RPG, That was "Ancient Fantasy" + "Hard Science Fiction". That is what it was initially advertised as and what Year 3 D1 was shaping up to be. [u]That is what We wanted.[/u] Destiny 2 was supposed to fix the mistakes of the past and is instead settling for a standard shooter with a focus on PvP.

I've seen a hundred of these improvement posts 1 month in. No changes, and a month later the toxicity built up. This company has lied blantantly before in d1 and now they are doing the same shit as d1. D1 endgame: - gear was rewarded, not handed out -the raid was an actual raid with actual bosses (when it was released) - raid gear meant something -you needed to do the raid to get end game gear -strikes and herioc strikes -pvp that was insividual skilled based -loot cave D2 emd game: -herioc events - a lazy raid -broken shitty team shoot pvp
