Bounties: they was an optional thing that just gave something extra to do and level up reward pass.
Vendor ranks: it added substance to them and was a decent way of getting glimoure and rarely god rolls.
Pathfinder: it added reasons to play content.
Every no longer pinnacle activity that had pinnacle removed after a year: ok since edge of fate its a moot point but still it's always been a pain point.
Destination adventures: they was fun and just needed a yearly reward refresh to keep them relevant.
Bungie you have the weird habit of removing good things and making older content irrelevant if you just simply kept some things in game the player count would be slightly better.
As gamers we want more choice not less and especially since the portal we've had less choice and less incentive to play older content.

1 ReplyD1 was amazing and died out same with d2 . What are people expecting that d2 will go on for another decade ?! Marathon just hit number one on the stream charts so looking good which is good for destiny franchise! Listening to the shrills have emotionally break downs is sad to see .

Is everyone so petty and stupid that they fail to recognize how if this franchise were such a terrible thing led by such a terrible studio, they wouldn't be here whining regularly about it a decade later? Consider that for a moment; people still here, and you know them because of the "DAY 1 D1 VET" nonsense they like to claim, ARE STILL HERE. Maybe things weren't as awful as those aforementioned idiots want to sell people on, huh?

3 RepliesDidn't they say they removed Pathfinder by accident and that they intended to keep it in, just that it would take some time to revert it? Did I misremember that or was it also when they acknowledged they would be reverting the color mute they did to the director?

1 ReplyVendor ranks and rank resets with the extra perks per column were something players were asking to be expanded to other vendors like banshee-44 ... and they remove it altogether ... insidious decision.

1 ReplyLegendary Lost Sectors with dedicated rewards. . A functional LFG. . Social spaces that had a reason to exist. You came to the tower to see Banshee, Zavala, Shaxx, the bounty board, ect and saw other players. The world felt populated and lived in instead of the solo focused experience that is the portal. . Rewarding seasonal events in existing public spaces. Warmind towers, escalation protocol, surges on different planets, all of these things gave us a reason to revisit the locations Bungie spent so much effort into building for the campaigns. Now the planets may as well be in the vault with Io, Titan, Mercury, and the Reef. . Shared public spaces. This is an MMO, yet we can't even see other players in the pale heart and newer spaces. . A complete story. You can go back and play ALL of D1. You'll go from the grave to the black heart, to Crota, to Oryx, to Siva and experience the ENTIRE D1 story. You can't do that in D2 because HALF of the needed storyline is vaulted. Why would new players care about Cayde? They've never seen him and they will never experience Foresaken. . These are the good things we had that Bungie took away.

What's crazy? There was actually a lost sector pathfinder that Bungie never implemented properly even when we had pathfinder https://imgur.com/4ZwyUyt

Community. Another thing we used to have. Communication between developer and community. Another thing we had.

Light Sabers, the coolest thing they ever added to the game! Too bad it came this late!
