  • I clicked on your post to post something along the lines of destiny killed destiny. I now can see I'm not the only one who can see the truth.

  • Like the ppl that still actually believe this game would survive w/o it’s novelty PvP. It’s not that PvP is so good. It’s the sheet speed in which players burn through PvE content for the first month then they’re literally left with nothing to do for the rest of the season. Some of us find PvP fun and ENTERTAINING. But it still needs a lot of work. Truth is this game would die off if either side were to go. Daily Reminder: DISABLE ARTIFACT AND Damage mods(High Energy Fire) in PvP!!!

  • This is the first year I'm not pre-ordering. I've played since D1. Got bored with the grind this year and went back to Anthem for a bit. Came back and have been playing a bit of D2 lately. When BL drops I'm going to wait and check it out. Will I order it? Probably. Am I a fanboi? No. There's just not much out that interests me. Anthem 2.0? Who knows when that is coming. World War Z is dead in the water. I will likely order Cyberpunk. Otherwise, that's all I got. No other releases have caught my eye, so paying $60-$70 bucks for something to pick away at for a few months is worth it for me. I could care less how the company is doing or where the game is going, in all honesty. It's just something to do.

    Just because Anthem sucked and everyone stopped playing it, doesn't mean you are right. Cause Anthem everyone got bored of in a matter of days. But people have claimed MANY games would kill Destiny. Anthem, Borderlands 3, Division, Cyberpunk, and many more. But everyone is right. Not in the terms that ONE game released and killed Destiny. But all of the games that people claimed was gonna kill Destiny, technically is killing Destiny. Cause reality is, 21 million players have been tracked, as bought Destiny 2 and played it. But I have watched Destiny Tracker everyday for over 2 years now, and not one single day has this game had 1.2 million logins as a maximum in a single day. So YES. Anthem, Division, Overwatch, Borderlands 3, Red Dead 2, Gears 5, GTA, ALL games killed Destiny. Cause 1 in 21 players who used to play, still do. And 20 in 21 players, have quit, have valid reasons they had enough, and hate Bungie and refuse to comeback. Destiny is the ONE game out, that over 95% of people have quit, and refuse to play ever again for many different reasons, that they all now HATE Destiny and Bungie. Other games, people got bored of, and stopped playing, but could be offered things to play again. Destiny on the other hand. Doesn't matter the DLCs or what is being offered. 20 in 21 people will not come back cause they actually have resentments against Bungie for Bungie's actions, and they are voicing them while playing whatever games they play now. Hense why there has been ZERO increase in players even though Bungie fuqin just made D2, Forsaken, and Shadowkeep, free on gamepass, and Beyond Light will be free! Bungie giving everything for free has caused zero increase in logins, cause so many people quit and convinced their friends that Destiny and Bungie is so awful, that it isn't even worth playing for free. Not only in over 2 years has 1.2 million logins been not possible, if you were me and watched Destiny Tracker everyday for this specific reason, you too would have watched Destiny dying. When Bungie pisses off the community with shit that's huge, like Sunsetting that made many quit. The numbers actually reflect such Bungie dumb ideas and when they disrespect the community, and logins trend downwards further and further. At this point. It is not mathematically possible for Bungie to pay their 750 employees salaries with their less than 1 million player base. Sure, the yearly DLC, is around $40-$60 each fall. But that's less than $60 million in sales a year, to pay 750 employes over $70 million dollars of salaries AT LOWEST. Bungie is bleeding money for 2 years now, that's why they scrapped their work on Destiny 3. They annouced 3 years of DLCs on this game instead to milk us for 20% the amount of content of a sequel at the same price as a fuqin sequel. They can't even afford to make a Destiny 3 anymore cause of how they can't do anything at this point to get the logins they need to see profits. So why not give us a small planet, 1 strike, no new PVP maps, call it a DLC, charge $60, instead of making a brand new game from scratch, and in 3 years when they got the little money they could from 3 more DLCs into D2, they will annouce their intentions to give up on Destiny alltogether. Everyone at this point should realize, this game is 3 years old. Bungie should have released Destiny 3 1 year ago already. They now are choosing to not even make a Destiny 3, and going to add a little bit over 3 years to this game. We should all be able to accept the fact that they aren't going to release a Destiny 3 in 3 years. They can't make a sequel cause it costs more than their sales, and them putting everything for free for Xbox players is a clear message that they know they can't even sell Beyond Light at full price to everyone, so they are taking significantly less from a subscription revenue.

            Honestly. No, the people on the far hardcore side and people on the far casual side killed the game. They made raids have a million tasks and they ruined how leveling works in Destiny 2. To touch on a part of the game, Destiny 1 raid appeal was how simple raids were on the surface but had a lot of potential mastery. Raids now are no longer a low requirement entry in part by the community, but also because of systems like revive tokens and mechanics that insta wipe teams for only having 1-2 people mess up

            • More gamer hyperbole. Anyone who thinks that a game that is pulling a million players per day is delusional. Any if Bioware is making the changes they are talking about on their blog for Anthem Next/Anthem 2.0... then Amthem could still wind up formidable competition for Destiny. EA Play is merging with Xbox’s Ultimate Game Pass, so the overhauled Anthem will be available at no charge for subscribers. And the game play hooked a LOT of people, despite the games rocky launch. I was the games broken loot system and Bioware pulling the plug on support for 1.0 in favor of the overhaul that did Anthem 1.0 in. But I believe Bioware made the smart call in opting for a rebuild of the RPG systems rather than an patching a fatally flawed foundation.

            • I remember seeing people state on here "Bungie killed Destiny" countless times before and yet here we are, the game still not dead. It's doing just fine for a 7 year old ip. Are we going to agree with all development decisions? Nope. Does the game still have a large player base? Yep. Is the game profitable for the company? Yes. Is the game still enjoyable for the overwhelming majority of players? Yes. Is it just the whiners on here constantly spewing negativity? Yes. So we carry on as normal then.

                  • STATUS REPORT! - Healthy Playerbase - Decent Reviews - New Content En Route - Developer Not Wasting Time on Guns we Won't Use Looks pretty good to me. Excited to see how Beyond Light turns out. New subclasses look sick af.

                    • For me I had hoped it would've killed Destiny. I think for most though, the ones who knew that Bungie were becoming Scumgie, they wanted Anthem to challenge Bungie. Make them feel the healthy pressure that game developers need to feel in order to compete with one another and produce quality products for us gamers.

                          Only a co-op style game with same or better quality gunplay can even begin to compete. Anything like that out or on the way?

                        • Ummm i think, I may be wrong, but there is still a very large active destiny playerbase . The day I load into the tower and there isn't a single soul there, then I'd think the game was dead. Destiny is still alive and kicking

                            You have three pinnacle level characters & played six hours ago. Edit: make that 22 minutes ago. Dude is literally still playing the "dead" game after saying it's dead.
