The position Destiny 2 is in right now.

I’m a massive fan of the destiny universe. It definitely interesting to look at the lore etc. I started playing just before RoI came out. Was definitely a casual least to say back then. Met some really interesting people along the way from d1/d2 and we are still good friends today. They started to teach me the raids in d1 are least to say they are a lot of fun once you get the hang of them. Definitely have some very fond memories! So fast forward to d2. Yes definitely a rocky start but I’m not going to get into that as about nearly everyone has at this point. So the clan and I went back to d1 to just beast raids out when we could all get on. Season 3 for d2 was probably when we all started taking more interested. You had whisper mission(definitely one of the coolest thing bungie have done for a while by this point). So we started to take the raids more seriously and I started to try getting better at crucible. So we all pretty much changed over to d2 by this point as forsaken wasn’t to far off. So we played a lot to get the best of gear/weapons we could. Since they had brought back random rolls. We enjoyed playing at least. It wasn’t the d2 we where wanting but it was definitely a start of bungie trying to fix the game they had released back in 2017. Now we can’t even be bother really playing at all. Yes we still all when we can. Playing different things now. We still do raids and try and attempt to play crucible. And funny enough we still go back to d1 now and then just to do the raids for fun. To enjoy the game we all loved playing. So what can Bungie maybe change/improve! Raids. . Improving the raid loot amount you get. I definitely feel at the moment raids aren’t rewarding enough. From d1 you would get a weapon/armour per encounter (from memory after age of triumph) you would get. It’s definitely lacking at the moment. This is definitely a change that bungie should consider . Make the ads slightly more aggressive/health buff. I don’t know about how everyone else feels about this but to me ads don’t really seem to be that aggressive. I’m not saying they should change them to being extremely aggressive, but at the moment it’s definitely making encounters easier. . Making raids lairs into dungeons I’m not gonna lie here. I think the raid lairs aren’t really a raid to be honest. I would much prefer to see dungeons replaced raids lairs. Let’s take Levi for instance. Maybe having the mains raid for every big dlc drop then having small dungeons like EoW or SotP change to dungeons. . Making raid themed loot. This is definitely what made d1 raids so interesting was having the themed loot. Like WotM and KF. Definitely absolutely awesome looking armour and weapons. GoS definitely attempt to do this (even though it was copped for eververse). I feel like this needs to be addressed in having unique armour to everything else. .Raid weapons having there own unique perks This I would like to see in raids at some point. Let’s take WotM for instance. Even though the weapons where re-skins they definitely make really interesting perks. I wouldn’t mind seeing fixed rolls on raid weapons again either. . Being able to 3 man a raid the whole way through. I’m not sure how everyone else would feel about this but I would definitely like to see again. Yes, you can’t 3 man some encounters but a lot of the raids you do need at least 5 people. I feel that’s everything covered on what could improve on raids. Crucible. I know crucible just had a improvement just back in Shadowkeep but in all fairness. Nothing really feels that much different. . Special ammo talk. I’m not amazing at crucible but I do know how to play pvp. I feel like people are using shotguns/fusions way to much at this point and I feel like it is ruining pvp. I would much prefer to see special ammo boxes agains as I feel it would balance out pvp. Nearly every game you join someone is always crutching with either a shotgun or a fusion and it definitely is ruining the experience. I’m not gonna lie I do use fusions and shotguns as well but I’m only using them as it’s nearly impossible to snipe. This definitely should be changed at this point as it’s getting pretty boring. . Skbm To me skbm seems to be a bit you win some or loose some. But it really seems to be you really crush the enemy team of you really get crushed. I know every game isn’t going to be a breeze but maybe this could maybe improve by having different mode for players who want to play hard. .strikes Strikes are ok. They definitely could be better but I haven’t done strikes in a while. .Add more nightfall unique weapons/armour I would definitely like to see unique armour added to nightfalls again like d1 did. This isn’t the easy subject to touch on but would be cool to see more added. This is everything I could think of that could definitely improve/change in destiny 2 right now. I don’t want to be that guy who just complains about everything and hates bungie to death. I want to see bungie do well. Yes, they do make some interesting decisions sometimes what we all don’t agree on. I hope someone from bungie does read this! But I’m seriously starting to lose interest and faith in the bungie. Upvotes would be much appreciated!

  • I don't really like the raid lair to dungeon idea. That sounds like something thought up by people who can't reliably get a raid team. Let's be honest. Pit of Heresy is terrible. I know everyone eants new content to be awesome but even after my first eun I couldn't stand the idea of running it 3x a week. All you see on lfg is posts for people desperate for a boss checkpoint. I know it's the only pinnacle deop but if the activity were actually fun more people would run it in full. Shattered Throne was great. I love that dungeon.

    • Straight up, I don't think Bungie is going to invest much in raids going forward. Unless they can figure out how to get more than 5% of the community involved, it's a wasted endeavor in the long run.

      • Psst... let me tell you a little secret about Bungie..... They don't care. If they did, they wouldn't have pulled the crud they're pulling at the start of Shadowkeep. Armor 2.0 concept is great, but the design and execution is a mess, which negates the concept idea. Removing relevant content. Now punishes players that aren't playing weekly multiple days per week. There is no way to catch up on current events. Instead they should have removed older content like Adventures and story missions from y1. Crucible completely being neglected. It's very much part of the game. It needs to be treated like so. No trials and a after thought Iron Banner is ridiculous. They couldn't even give us any new gear in year 3. Iron Banner bow anyone? And finally, no Factions. They screwed up Faction so bad in y1 that they cant even bring it back in its simplest form and give us faction vendors to pledge to and rank up like we did in d1. I would gladly dump all of the planetary vendors just so I could have FWC, DO and NM armor, weapons and ships. And then get a refresh of new looking gear once a year.

        • I agree with a few points, however allowing raids to be 3 manned is a bad idea.

          • Destiny pvp has never been that great except before the beginning of the massive nerfs. So that means the first year was the best. After that everything was frustrating because nothing was consistent. This game has way too many issues that cause random bullets to not register. Dying because your opponent is better than you is fine. But dying because a couple of well aimed shots just didn't hit is ridiculously annoying. Imo that crap hinders the player from actually getting better. When I go months without playing and I see other people play it makes me want to play. But 4 or 5 matches in I remember why I stopped playing.

              There is raid themed loot. The stuff you get on Levi and EOW (and spire) work on every Levi raid, including crown of sorrows. GoS drops loot with a mod slot for stuff like enhanced relay defender which gives you perks in the raid exactly like WotM. Last Wish works with all reverie dawn gear as it takes place in the dreaming city. I carry a set of each armor at all times in case I raid. I think scourge is the only one without armor that gives you perks while playing scourge tbh. As a point of reference, I like that you can't 3 man raids anymore. You can play and enjoy every other part of this game solo, down to the triumphs for solo completing pit of heresy and shattered throne. It's nice that raids grew up to be actually difficult activities that requires full team cohesion. There is no reason to even allow fireteams of 6 if there ar enk activities designed for full fireteams of 6. Tbh, I did Crota 3 or 4 times and couldn't tell you a thing about it because my sherpas basically told me to shut up and stuck me in a corner while they did it. I did every D1 raid at least once and only really enjoyed WotM and Kingsfall because I was actually necessary and useful. I wouldn't have 80 raid completions in D2 if I were just sitting against a wall while 3 other people did all the work. I enjoy the challenge and it feels good getting guardians through these difficult events. Plus, the egotism of the D1 raiding community was obnoxious. I never felt like I did a Crota raid and the people I did it with made sure I knew they carried me through even though I was ready and willing to learn. It wasn't until D2 where I found my enjoyment in raiding because nobody could carry me anymore and I actually got to learn this stuff (which I now actively teach to other guardians). There are still some diet bags, but by and large, there's a lot more opportunity now to [i]play[/i] a raid than in D1 where most sherpas just sat noobs in a corner and bragged about all the completion carries they had. Ugh. Some of your other points are quite valid, though, and your post is good overall. Upvote from me.

              • TL;DR raid loot sucks, needs a hard mode once again Crucible still offers a worse pvp experience then free shooters

              • I wish these Manifestos were smaller. . . It’s not like I’m bored on a plane, or in a line at Starbucks.
