It's more then obvious you can't keep up with Activision contract and meet your player base expectations. Let me clarify this before gamers get ugly lol This kind of helps to understand what's actually going on https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2017/10/19/bungie-and-activisions-badly-scheduled-deal-is-what-hurt-destiny-2-the-most/#175e52e73467 IMO D1 had a foundation considering what took place before the game was released in 2014. We don't need to go all into that because most know what took place. This company had a chance... Of expanded on the existing content The loot in the loot system The progression Exotics etc Even though the game has it's issues a hell of a lot of gamers still wanted to play the game. A lot of that had to do with the incentive it had, that gave the motivation for a hell of a lot of gamers to run the repetitive content. That's because they knew they were going to get some form of reward that was worth the time on acquiring. Anyone can argue that just running the events are fun in D2 and I will agree to an extent. When you are not getting rewarded for your time spent in a game or constantly getting multiple duplicates of rewards that are so watered down, them rewards become pointless to run the events period, There is no arguing that. Games do not survive off of just running pointless events. Your player base plummeting You dropping the full price to $39 within the first month and now trying to play it off as if it's a holidays special. https://imgur.com/gallery/uro5J You hiding the actual player base knowing DT is counting both D1 and D2 You hiding like a child from your player base You having Deej say "endgame content is about friends" for the lack of effort of making a rewarding raid You having Luke smith say "it's a collectors game" Sorry, That was actually D1. There isn't diddly-squat in D2 that will replace... Icebreaker Ghorn Thorn LW Fatebringer Black hammer etc... Weapons that actually worked in this game. Making statements like "we heard you wanted a fire team to run lost sectors" These kind of statements coming from a AAA pretending they know their player base. You have no clue what your player base has been asking for because you ignore all the feedback Bungie. One of your biggest mistakes is letting Luke smith in front of a camera... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxOT2Tt1p8w# I could list a hell of a lot of links on how he actually embarrasses you as a AAA gaming company. I actually believe you are using him as the fall guy. [b]The directors statement that the only time it comes from the top on this forum is when your community is pissed off?[/b] Speaking of the directors statement. Are you guys even going to at least make some of them improvements before the expansion is released, or are the base game players screwed? Reddit is not happy with you, Hmm, of all places the devs play on. Imagine that... YouTubers stopped being your "free advertisement" IGN, love this saying [quote]That's it![/quote] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WqK9lBd8_k&feature=youtu.be Don't forget this, all the gamers that keep pushing the goal post for you. Not that it's helping you all that much. Hmm, who came up with "gamers wanted a fire team to run the lost sector's" You do realize a 5 year old can run them without any problems just for something to do because the rewards are pointless right? Trust me, I could go on and on, on how selfish you actually are yet gamers still stick around knowing the time and money they actually put into this game that is well more then enough on showing you their appreciation. Hmm, where is yours to the fans that made you who you are??? [spoiler]Gamers don't buy games like Destiny just to look at the scenery that outweighs this entire game that isn't being used to it's potential. It's the one thing out of this entire game that has always been empty. It's great that some of the planets/moons are bigger, but to leave them as empty and unrewarding as you have always left them. It's unjustifiable for the price tag you put on your game that you literally stripped to it's barebone and said here you go. The funny thing about all this, I'm just talking about PvE. Holy cow you screwed up big time on PvP trying to make a cheap knockoff Halo and thought using heavy ammo as your heavy weapon on the ground would help with your broken game mode?[/spoiler] Does anyone know exactly how much was actually removed from this entire game and everything that was removed from the app you could use in D1. Plus using this forum? If I actually posted everything that was removed, it would show the truth on how selfish this company actually is pushing out D2 like they did. [b]In fact, I don't know one single company in history that ripped out as much as you actually did Bungie.[/b] Yes, I get the whole profit thing, casual gamers etc. But it didn't mean they had to say we are changing the game loyal fans, but were not adding a hell of a lot of things you guys liked about D1. We are just adding the basic so deal with it. Well, look at this forum Bungie, this is how a lot of your loyal fans deal with it. Is this what you call respecting your player base? Is this how you show respect to your player base time spent in this game? Is this what you call a form of communication? Is D2 actually a well rewarding game that you said it was? [b]From where I stand, you blew off your most loyal fans for the sake of casual gamers and IMO you can't keep up with your own promises like more content when you haven't even finished the first expansion...[/b] [spoiler]I'm not just talking about the events either, I'm talking about the in-game loot system that is the worst you have put out yet that you think bringing "Jade rabbit" back is going to save you when gamers know it's going to be so watered down? Anyone with common sense knows your first DLC will be lacking in so many ways, and from what I understand you wont be adding any raids to either DLC. Maybe instead of dumping all of this on the live team in hopes to bail you out. Why don't you use your head when it's more like live team is actually making this game because the team that made this game before it released are so lost when it comes to rewarding the gamers for their time spent in this game. But I'm sure you have plans for crucible which is okay, but if the loot is anything like it is now. You might as well throw in the towel right after words.[/spoiler] [b]I kind of hope for your sake but more so for the player base sake, that you actually back up your own words for a change because If your first DLC is a flop, do you actually expect your player base to not keep Plummeting?[/b] Okay, I'm ready for the "clever remarks" Bungie fans lol Edit: Oh almost forgot, when are you guys going to fix this mess this forum is in as well?
