I had a curious thought today, and sorry if this has been discussed at length already. I think it’s great that bungie has outlined the road map, and I’ll honestly admit I’m someone who has lately dropped the game until some of those changes are made. Too many good things to play right now :)
What I’m curious about is that large portions of this roadmap seem geared towards player feedback, which is excellent. Any thoughts on what the original road map during this time may have been? Like, what features or updates had to be delayed to allow for the feedback based updates?
Edit: thanks for all of the discussion! This brought up a new thought for me. It seems like a trend in the pc community is to ‘pre-release’ a game, with the impression that it doesn’t have all of the features. For example, I think rust just came out of a 4 year alpha. Do members of the community feel like D2 was released incomplete, but feel jilted because we were being sold a ‘complete’ game? Or is it ok now for games to be released and built upon, say like over watch for instance

I was thinking the same. If they’re pushing sandbox changes back to May, they were never working on these changes before people were complaining about how boring the game is. That’s a problem.
-
I think this was the original Destiny 2 road map.

Great point!! They will either have a ton in the hopper for later since they had to back burner all of that for these changes, or it will be revealed that they had nothing confirming what a lot of people think already. Half baked game by a tired developer being squeezed by a greedy corporation.

-The removal of all vendors except eververse. -Every event is an eververse event. Crimson eververse, eververse rally, iron eververse, leviaverse raid lairs. -Quintuple the amount of XP needed for eveverse engrams. With every subsequent activity reducing XP gains by half until the engram is received. -paying a monthly subscription of 510 silver for online content to be unlocked. -Silver would only be available in lots of 500. - finally, replace tess' face with Luke smiths like this: [IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/vwqzo2.png[/IMG]

The original roadmap: January: More Eververse February: More Eververse March: More Eververse May: More Eververse They did not think farther than May.

Step one - make money Step two - hire hookers

Sell! Sell! Sell! Sell some more. More selling Xmas shutdown. Wooh bonus time!

Step 1 - steal underpants Step 2 - ???? Step 3 - profit

They didn't have a road map as they lost the only one they had... Luke tried to use it to find his way home one night...but he couldn't make any sense of it, so he threw it away.

if we werent all complaining about eververse here bungie would have made crimson days a MicroTransaction fest!
-
The only roadmap they made before this one was the first 4 weeks of D2. Faction rally. Xur. Iron banner.
-
Step one : discard all D1 feedback and improvements. Step two : await player feedback Step three : "we're listening" Step four : discard all feedback that doesn't involve how great Eververse is.
-
The "original" D2 roadmap was already laid out. 1) Create D2 so toddlers could understand it. 2) Center D2 around a MT system. 3) Make cosmetics the "endgame". 4) Expect D2 players to "throw money at the screen". 5) Profit.

There wasn't one. That's what is so funny with all of the fanboys defending bungie. They defend a company that was happy to sell them a total piece of crap and then praise them for fixing 10% of it. It's pathetic!!
-
They wanted PvP to go MLG it failed. End of story! PVE suffered as a result!
-
It said "turn next left". They turned right instead.

It was basically just nerf fusion rifles

Two points I'd like to make and I find both of them sad and indicative of the future of the gaming industry. The first being that Bungie's original roadmap could've been similar to what we saw in Destiny one's DLC, Expansion, and Timed Events. Although, in Destiny Two eververse would've been a core component in all of these - as we've seen in The Dawning and CoO already. I think these two items coupled with the many XP mishaps gave us a pretty good idea of their intentions and mindset of how they wanted to treat the franchise going forward. The second point, which you spoke of, is this 'build upon' or 'subscription based' development style that we see in games today is good and bad. I don't like the idea of releasing an incomplete game, but I do like the fact that they can fix it. Thankfully we still have Developers out there like Naughty Dog, CD Projekt Red, Nintendo, and Ninja Theory that are willing to step up to the plate and deliver a valuable complete player experience.

Bearbeitet von Ascent_Cobra: 2/20/2018 5:45:45 AMThe September 2017 roadmap, IMO, was this: 1) PVP = stream + player friendly, high twitch viewer base, possibly move into e-sports type settings with trials... if the success of the previously mentioned points was high enough. 2) Eververse. 3) Party over the sales numbers.

No they had no plan. Problem is that they went in a new direction that no one wanted them to take when they released D2. And they had no roadmap for the game itself which is very apparent. They were counting on it being perfect and riding it from expansion to expansion. But the people have spoken and are fed up because they wanted changes ever since the game has been released. Suddenly there is a roadmap and suddenly they are trying to be open. But it’s a little too late. Most die hard fans have moved on and they aren’t coming back. The remainder of loyalists either play or check the game and or forum hoping for changes.

Their roadmap is and always will be for now on only one word: profit
