I don't care about a gameplay reveal
[spoiler]For those who will actually read this i'll explain, otherwise there will be a tl:dr at the bottom. [/spoiler]
So we all know about the upcoming gameplay reveal on May 18th; I'm sure we are all very hyped and excited about this upcoming tidbit of the sequel to everyone's favorite scifi shooter. But it's not all good.
I'm gonna step in front of this hype train to hopefully get some people to ask the right questions of bungie; because honestly I feel we need to question this game or else we'll end up with a repeat of year 1. so these are just some things i'd like to suggest to the community to get them thinking.
1. Destiny has never had an issue with gameplay. The gameplay, be it guns, abilities, melee etc, have, for me at least, always been very solid. Perhaps destiny's best attribute. I don't need to be shown something I'm already fairly confident will be of pretty good quality.
2. Will weapons be balanced in pvp and pve independently? or will we have a repeat of the last couple of years?
3. Will characters be fleshed out this time around? or will we be expected to read grimoire cards?
4. Will we have in game lfg? or proper matchmaking systems in order to find groups for a primarily coop game?
5. 30 fps? 60 fps?
6. Content...content....content. Bungivision has said they have a plan to supply us with that steady drip of goodness. But what does that mean? will there actually be a steady stream of content; no not just content [b]quality[/b] content?
7. What kind of grind are we in for exactly?
8. Will microtransactions continue to encroach into the game ? could we be facing a call of duty situation?
9. Should we be expecting a demo or the beta/will the beta be indicative of the final product?
So I know we all can't wait for destiny to come out. and we're all very excited. But please just think about what theyre showing us; think about what you want or don't want. And be sure to question what's going on.
tl:dr we're all really hyped, but we need to ask the important questions. Will destiny 2 be a big improvement? or will it be the next call of duty? with some graphics updgrades, but another rehash of the same old stuff?

19 Repliesi don't get why people want pvp separated from pve. you can definitely achieve a balance if you try hard enough. one of the core beliefs for destiny is that a gun works the same way no matter where you use it. Touch of Malice excluded.
-
3 RepliesIve already decided no pre-orders on any game ever again and destiny two will be out for atleast a week so i can get a real overview of what games bungie is playing with us through their reveals and beta. Love destiny but hate bungie.
-
2 RepliesI think it will be....Destiny. But I do think there will be a yuge emphasis on quality pve. As much of an ass hat as Luke Smith has been...he can develop some great stuff.

You gotta purrrrdy mouth

Shut up and take my money

2 RepliesIm shocked the game is coming out in such a short amount of time. I know they have two other studios chipping in but I'm still nervous. It makes me less hyped because what I think destiny can become will need way more time. My guess is a game very similar to destiny 1 which is still ok.
-
Yea may 18th is a gameplay reveal but I'm sure they'll answer some of the questions (important topics) at e3 or shortly after.
-
Lets be honest it will be the same old same but with a lick of paint and extra microtransactions.
-
We don't know what gameplay changes might happen so for some seeing new gameplay can be helpful

Edited by Neeyhoy Menoy: 4/24/2017 3:46:43 PMI tell my friends on xbox the same thing, a cinematic trailer isn't going to cut it. Things I would like to see in D2 that will convince me to buy it are dedicated servers(both pvp and pve), 60 fps, ranked and social playlists, massive open world with 6 man fireteams, and seperated pvp from pve.

No one cares about your not caring about the gameplay reveal.

1 ReplyScrew your framerates, if 60 FPS happens, it happens, 30 FPS will always be fine on consoles otherwise play on PC if you want peak performance! PC will have Text Chat like any PC title would which is always the best form of LFG.

3 RepliesThat's all I want to see on the opening screens and box art :) Bungie/Activision should just sell Destiny for a .04% profit to a company that actually knows how to do open world.... Then again several different worlds the size of Bethesda game worlds would be nerve wracking lol. [quote]inb4 literal fanboys bitch about "that's not how contracts work" blahblahblah I'm jus sayin[/quote]

4 RepliesEdited by monkeydancer: 4/24/2017 11:02:34 AMBeta will be same as vanilla destiny I presume. Max lvl 7, stay in one area and tower/base and game is basically complete just a few tweaks to be made after beta. Then a open beta to see how many people the servers can handle, then servers crash and beta ends before they are running again. I would like them to address the exotic issue. They originally said we could only equip one exotic at a time so we weren't over powered but that to me makes no sense, I mean don't we want to be as powerful as we can to kill to buggers, and if you have been lucky enough to find an exotic for each slot then lucky you, it will just make me want to play more and harder to have awesome gear too. It's like bungie are sending us to war and saying "you can't use all this equipment as it's unfair to our enemies"

There had better be dedicated servers. Tired of getting DDOSED by cowards in trials

3 RepliesWhat hype train? Don't see anyone going nuts. Seems quite calm about D2 tbh.

10 RepliesI have said this since I started playing ffxiv... Every game that wants to do mmorpg needs to -blam!-ing take a leaf out of this book. It is by far the best game of its genre I've ever played (personal opinion). Its matchmaking is very well done, the story is long and extensive, the whole concept of glamour is amazing, and the grind is very much worth it in the end. Also the servers a magnificent

I would like to see gameplay as it would address some of my main concerns either directly or at least give reasonable hints towards: -Class Diversity: will each class be unique in both abilities and foundation? Will the weakness of one class like up with strengths of the others? Or will the classes again be the same base with different jumps and grenades that lead up to standalone super abilities? -Customization: will we be able to build our characters from the ground up based on our playstyle after selecting a class? Will our ability choices branch off to vastly different possibilities to better fit the roles we wish to operate? Are these choices permanent or able to change on the fly? Or will we operate in predefined bounds based on our super abilities? Gear/loot: in what form does loot drop? Does it support modification to make a weapon or armor piece operate in the way we personally see fit? Is high-end gear worth the grind to obtain? Do we build onto weapons and armor then choose if we wish to keep or replace them after obtaining different gear? Can we modify our appearance, or is it based solely on gear? Is based on attachment mods or pre-rolled perks? Leveling: is the game based on experience or time/levels played? Is loot determined by level or mission/game mode? How does leveling factor into upgrading your abilities? Does it? Is leveling based on progression or on the level of dropped gear? If dropped gear, how likely will you be locked out of high-end levels? Story/game modes: how do you progress in the game? Is story driven in a linear manor, or do you explore worlds and complete the story at your leisure? Can you explore worlds independently from the story? Are game modes tied to story progression and exploration, or independent lobbies? How many of these game modes are private, public, and matchmaking based? Is lfg available in-in-game, or are teams filled automatically? Can you control the size of lobbies and matchmaking preferences?

10. Dedicated servers 11. Diffeferent character subclasses (if not its the samw game right?) 12. How strong will our weapona feel

1 ReplyEdited by dnrobs: 4/24/2017 6:04:35 AMLook at the season pass,it costs £30. That's £15 each,you don't get much of a dlc for £15. Even tdb/how cost more two and a half years ago.
-
My biggest questions are? Is there an actual story this time? And are they going to allow Activision cut content from this story and create dlc for stuff that we originally paid for. And finally. Will we see weapons that aren't reskinned and perhaps a gunsmith that allows the user of forging our own guns.
-
I think im looking forward to what they can do without the old system limitations holding things back. I started off on 360 then moved over to xbone.. better believe ill be rocking that scorpio when it arrives.
-
I wanna see the gameplay. The current gameplay has some flaws and we have been playing it for 3 years. Changes are needed and welcome.
-
In regards to content for destiny 2 I think they're gonna have it just a bit easier to produce at least decent content on the regular considering they've got 2 other studios working with them at the same time for destiny 2 content. Whereas for these 3 years as far as I'm aware, if they wanted to create some new content on the side to tide us over until the next big thing, they needed to split their own team and have fewer people working on the main expansion.

7 RepliesI'm sorry but after playing the story with each character so three times it will fade into the darkness and the things in the light will be what you liked so it's a no brainer preorder day one for me !! I've spend £60 on games I have played for 10 hours 2200 into destiny and it's still draws me in each week,weather chasing exotics or completing quests
