Say what you want but destiny 2 is a great game overall. I know we can give it slack and sure there are dry times but in all honesty its a really good game.
Destiny (1) has a special place in my heart but destiny 2 was the game that made me meet more people and have more fun together. In d1 i was usually alone because i was really shy then but now im good.
So now onto the topic at hand, ill split it to four topics, PvE, PvP, Raids and Trials.
PvE: in my opinion pve is at its best that it ever was, a good meta, ghally is fun, fusions are fun, good ad clear weapons and overall balanced (seasonal mods usually make the meta). The thing they could make better are strikes, the lack of drops/loot is kinda sad considering d1 had skeleton keys and strike weapons/armor. Now nightfalls are fun and have good loot, gm's in particular are my favorite end game activity so thats why i like them so much. The seasonal content is cool and lore goes with it so its fun. Overall PvE is at a good state and is being improved all the time.
PvP: i play this the most, whether it be 6's or trials, i play this a lot. There are tuneing to made and maps to be made/brought back, but one thing ive always accepted is that there will always be a 'meta', the best weapons to use in crucible. Thats how it is in all multiplayer fps games, they can nerf and buff but there will always be the 'meta'. Now if a gun can kill you from close, medium, far with 2 taps then its a problem (👀 dmt). But now even thats fixed and is still going to be very good. The problem i have is the lack of stuff to do/achieve in crucible, maybe ornaments to collect, exotic ghosts/sparrows/ships and in general crucible theamed weapons. I dont know how many have noticed but the ritual weapons are just rare/uncommon/legendary weapons with reskins, but they could make new looking weapons instead of reskins with new perks. So in general loot to collect, the pinnacle weapons were cool to get and took some time, which made them more rewarding, but some of them redifined the meta for a long time (👀mountaintop and recluse). But these weapons made a sense of achievement that gave us a feeling of proudness and like finally i have this weapon to shred in crucible with. But in general pvp is fun most of the time, but its really up to the players that use the meta constantly that annoy so many people.
Raids: they are fun with amazing loot and a fun time with the right raid team, in my opinion raids have always been fun, d1 and d2, not much to say apart from them being fun and cool with the right team. And to those lfg's that kicked me out before i got the loot, screw you!!!
Trials: perfect, dont touch it, add freelance to be permanent while there is the option to play with a team. Add labs once a month to make it intresting and its perfect, this is the trials people wanted. After daily reset on sunday flawless matchmaking goes on and people who are not that sweaty unlike me, can try and go flawless and have a fun time getting better and going flawless.
We all give bungie some slack but in the truth is that this is prob the most hours we spent on a game. I know i have over 4500+ hours which isnt even a lot compared to some people.
Thank you bungie and keep on doing better content. 👍

3 RepliesI agree,and don't listen to toxic people who play 4000 hours and say they hate the game,or keeps the destiny app installed to keep up on events but claim they quit What other developer puts out content every 3 months during a pandemic ,they don't have to do that,and they could just ignore community feedback but most of the time they react to it ,do they sometimes do the wrong thing like orbs,yes, but they try I play other games,but I always come back to D2,and I feel like I am apart of this journey called Destiny ,and I will be there at the end, hopefully

2 RepliesWow.... someone who is grateful and positive instead of complaining. Never thought I'd see that on forums.

For all the crap Bungie gets, this game is still incredibly good and is really one of a kind in terms of overall gameplay. Other games have tried to replace it and have failed to deliver. Does that mean the game is perfect? No. Does it mean Bungie does everything right? No. Is Destiny still an amazing game despite all of that? Absolutely.

It isn't a great game, it is just highly addictive for those who greatly fear missing out on something which makes them uncompetitive to others - in PvP or pve. Many, many people moan about the lack of content - the pve game is essentially shoot fallen, hive, vex and cabal on repeat. We don't need yet another 140 hand cannon. PvP is mostly moaning about servers and how obviously broken the new fragment/exotic is and how Bungie hates their class. Grind instead of an actual game. If you have a psyche which lends itself to this you'll be hooked. For those that don't - or wise up late - you'll wonder why anyone plays this when there are so many great games out there which don't involve you playing old content again and again until you have shot your 25 champions with a void weapon and got 100 solar melee kills, etc., in order to get the new thing which will then sit in your vault. Or be deleted, because you don't have any vault space. Each to their own, glad some people can actually still enjoy it. WhY aRe You CoMmEnTing ThEn? I'm commenting, despite not having 30th and not buying WC just to compare and contrast these fora pre and post launch. While waiting for a meeting so start. I've done some Dares to help my son who is grinding to to get the catalyst. Other than that, not played really in months. Not missed it at all. Alan Wake , Control and God of War are superb games; I would never have got the chance if I was playing D2 still. The impending server omnishambles and broken, untested 3.0 fragments and exotics is so predictable maybe this time Bungie will have done it right? After 7 years? The buffs announced will actually work on the weapons they are supposed to? Let's see.

67 RepliesYou may wanna replace "we" to "I", my man. I do like you naivety but it seems you do require a history lesson than anything else. Stay pure brother, I was once like you!

Yup. I appreciate all the lies, greed, reskins, inexplicable decisions, disdain for fans, and so on. Oh, wait, this is not the kind of appreciation you're looking for. My bad!

11 RepliesHow much does Bungie pay you to brown-nose :| FFS, you don't even try to be subtle.

1 ReplyIt is a great game. I’m so thankful to have the PvE team putting in serious work. The PvP team however is continuously dropping the ball and creating a horrible multiplayer experience. At this point why not bring in actual talent to run PvP?
-
Unlike these haters, I think you’re right! PvP is really nice, it only needs a tiny amount of work. Overall this game is perfect RN.

3 RepliesTrue, Destiny is so unique that it makes other games feel so plain.

Very well said. 😍
-
This is a solid critique, clearly admitting when D2 falls short but also appreciating when it has value. Take my not very valued upvote, you earned it.
-
I have no problem thanking the devs that do the actual work, especially knowing they have to put up with all the higher-ups BS.

6 RepliesWhat do you think you're doing?! This is the D2 forums! You need to act like it's the worst game ever made but play it every day!

3 RepliesI disagree about trials and pinnacle weapons. Pinnacle weapons were bad for the game, also there do need to be some cosmetic incentives for playing ranked, and the ranking system for comp needs an overhaul as well, in addition to how its matchmaking works. Trials needs to have an objective imo. It doesn’t have to necessarily end each round due to the objective, but it sucks having people just camping and peeking with special weapons for 2 minutes or so before the flag finally forces them to move. Also, the flawless pool just doesnt work. There has to be some sort of system there, but what they tried didn’t work. As far as freelance goes, I find that freelance is unfair for 2 player fireteams and just generally discourages playing with friends, out of fear that only sweaty players will be in the fireteam playlist. All this being said, I pretty much agree with every else you said.
