"wE'rE nOt nErFiNg AnYtHiNg"... Bungie said. "Some supers will break the game, and wE tHiNk ThAt'S AwEsOmE"... [b]BUNGIE SAID[/b]

Never gonna happen. The only things this nu-Bungie is good at is missing the point and failing while blaming players. This is not the Bungie that developed Halo or even D1.

The other stuff sounds good, but Nova Warp is good where it is, that super can kiss my hairy ass. On the other hand, Blade Barrage should have the old base knife damage upon impact returned to it but keep the friendly fire splash damage (that was a fair call), Sharts of Galanore should be restored to where it was before (nerfing that was just ret[i]ar[/i]ded and uncalled for), and Spectral Blades should be made to work the way Golden Gun does, where as long as you can get kills or cause damage with it, it will keep the super going, otherwise it will drain really fast. Also shoulder charge should only be a one hit kill at nearly point blank range as opposed to half way across the map, like it is now. Also, in competitive ranks should be locked once they are reached (no more falling below a rank from losses, that's just dumb), the only pinnacle hand cannon that should be able to be attained through competitive should be Not Forgotten, while Luna's Howl should be moved to Iron Banner and become a pinnacle weapon for that format (or something identical to Luna's Howl should be made for Iron Banner, maybe with a lengthy grind to upgrade it to an "improved" version of its self with stats identical to Not Forgotten). Of course Bungle (Bungle: to do clumsily and awkwardly; botch) is probably reading through all of these threads and posts and laughing their asses off because they have our money, but hey we can dream at least.

Agreed. I believe we also need some good QoL updates. I have some ideas for them here: [b][u]General[/u][/b] -Added quality of activity completion (completion speed, enemies killed, etc.) and gameplay variety as extra factors for RNG to make it less about grind and more about consistent gameplay and trying out more things than one -Added cross-play to all activities that can involve other players (Controller players will get improvements to aim assist and reduction of incoming flinch to balance Controller and KB+M) -Players now have a 12-hour timer after logging out of Destiny 2. The timer will prevent players from doing Strikes, Crucible, Raids, and Dungeons from another location until time is up (this is meant to reduce efficiency of paid carries) [b]Exotics[/b] -Powerful Rewards and Prime Engrams now have a doubled chance of dropping Exotics if collected at maximum Light Level (works for legacy players, too) -Further increased Exotic duplication protection -Fated Engrams can now drop Forsaken Exotics for players who own Forsaken -Getting duplicate Exotics gives the player 2 Enhancement Cores along with it) [b]Infusion[/b] -Players can now choose to infuse with Glimmer, Legendary Shards, and Planetary Materials, or [i]only[/i] Enhancement Cores -Using Enhancement Cores for infusion reduces Enhancement Core costs for your next masterwork by the amount you used [b]Enhancement Cores[/b] -Spider Bounties now drop 3 Enhancement Cores, rather than 1 [b]World Map[/b] -Players can now set a waypoint anywhere on the map (as long as it's not out of bounds) to make it easier to find your ideal location. You can also select your waypoint's colour, and set waypoints on Lost Sectors to make Wanted Bounties a bit easier -Entering or fast-traveling to an area while tracking a Wanted Bounty or Forge Saboteur Bounty will attempt to send you to a server where a Forge Saboteur or Prison Escapee is active (this may cause additional loading times) [b]Quest Steps[/b] -All quest steps that involve doing one thing over and over again will now be progression-based, allowing more ways to progress (Example: "Kill 100 Guardians with Precision Damage from a Hand Cannon" will become "Kill Guardians with Hand Cannons and Sidearms, but Precision Kills are worth more points), but the amount of time required to finish them will be increased to keep the climb substantial -Existing progression-based quest steps will have extra ways to progress to reduce repetition [b]Collections[/b] -Players can now recollect Year 2 Weapons and Armor from the Collections Tab, and you can choose what rolls you want on it based on unlocked rolls (Example for Weapons: If you got a Dust Rock Blues with Slideshot and Kill Clip, and another one with Outlaw and Rampage, you can choose to recollect it, select Outlaw or Slideshot as its first perk, and Threat Detector or Rampage as its second perk). Some perks can be used as either your first or second perk, so feel free to get creative [b]Year 1 Weapons and Armor[/b] -Year 1 Weapons will have a static first perk, but a random second perk -Year 1 Armor will have additional, randomized perk selections [b]PvP[/b] -Matchmaking will try to match you up with players within your region first to reduce internet workload -The host of a match will immediately be kicked if their connection drops to a rate where it can disconnect everybody else (to compensate for times when this is not in the player's control, quitter penalties and glory loss penalties will only trigger if this happens more than once) -Quickplay will now have SBMM, but SBMM will be a bit less strict than normal to make matchmaking take less time -If a player in your team leaves and you lose a match, your glory loss in Competitive will be cut in half -Glory win points will now scale with performance in matches (including KA/D Ratio) -If a solo player is matched with Fireteams of 3 or higher, they will be given a boost to accuracy, aim assist, and weapon stability -Matchmaking will attempt to put Fireteams with other Fireteams with around the same number of players. It will not be guaranteed, but it should give solo players an easier time avoiding them -Glory Rank no longer resets with Seasonal Updates, and cannot be reset at all (this is meant more as a way to separate skilled with less skilled than a fix, but it is still a fix) [b]Endgame Activities[/b] -Entering or fast-traveling to an area while tracking an Escalation Protocol node in the area you are going to will attempt to send you to a server where it is active, and you can set your ideal minimum player count (Up to 3) -Entering Blind Well while tracking it will attempt to send you to a server with at least 3 or more other players) [b]Console UI[/b] -Loading speeds for opening the UI, fast-traveling, entering activities, etc. will now be dependent on Hard Drive speed and Internet speed, rather than just Hard Drive speed (exclusive to console players). This should reduce loading times for players with a good setup

The fact that Bungie think that TWAB is still a legitimate way to communicate with this forum is a cameo of what is wrong with them at the moment as a dev.

They don’t care. There have been hot topics ranging for weeks on reddit and on here. They did not address any of them in the TWAB. Bungie is going to keep doing what they want to do. They are NOT listening. Doing the same thing over and over again is insanity. They need to stop nerfing things to the ground but they keep doing it.

Spot on. 10/10

People always chime in on the "I'm leaving destiny because..." threads with: "No one cares", "good", and similar replies. ...Well, at some point, people will have to start "caring" or this franchise will actually die. No game can bleed out it's player base for too long and expect to survive. Unless there are 40 or 50 of you guys spending thousands upon thousands of dollars at the local eververse each week and will continue to do so.

I find it very disappointing that the ppl i report for OBVIOUS ddosing (whole team kicked out of comp with a 1 min difference each, and their last 30 matches show it as well ) NEVER get banned, but as soon as a streamer gets hurt, they‘ll be banned in a matter of hours

This guy gets it

This is spot on. Their attitude now seems to be, "We're removing content you liked and replacing it with ... nothing." And it's obvious that they think they understand what the community wants better than the community does, that somehow what we want is "wrong," and only the wise lords at Bungie can show us the way. And you're right, they made two promises they've already blatantly broken: No more sweeping nerfs, and more frequent sandbox updates plus communication about those updates. Man ... this is all really discouraging and disheartening. I want this franchise to not just survive, but flourish, and right now it really feels like that's not gonna happen, at least not with the way they're running things now.

Had me until you said Nova warp nope down voting now

Damn, nicely said man! We could only wish. The faction rally section would be sooooo interesting. I really hope Bungie see this. One of my favorite posts since D1.

This. 100%. Throw in something about transferring all current game modes involving PvP to dedicated servers, and it's gold.

If only one section of this was in the actual twab I would play next season. This is spot on. The whole thing. I’m honestly at the point of not even caring about next season. Nice post thank you.

This was too long to read. So I didn’t
