I have to be honest here and disagree that I think this is a step in the right Direction. I dont see anything here that the community has asked for. It makes zero improvements for the dedicated gamers. For example, we asked for ways to use Legendary Shards to help us gear at higher levels. What do we get? We get the facility to buy useless Legendary Engrams that will serve no purpose to aid progression, or purchase an exotic that we dont already own. Utterly pointless. Example two, we request that they allow weapons to drop with random stats and perks. What do we get? We get a Masterworks weapon that is exactly the same bar a kill count and a +10 to a random stat on the gun thats re-rollable. Where are the daily heroic stories? Where are the hidden ghosts? Where is the value in end game content? For god sake I play a single hour a week, get three pieces of powerful gear and then im done unless I chose to find a group to raid with. Nothing they are bringing makes me want to put more hours into the game, because at end game level its just time wasted. The power progression system needs to change, the gearing system needs to change, the repeatable content needs to change and more fun stuff needs to be added. The game has gone backwards in its content level, and whilst if you have never played D1 it appears fine, when you've been around D1 for many hours it makes D2 look terribly bleak. Unless Bungie actually decide to listen to what we are saying, there wont be movement in the right direction at all.

Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the staff at Bungie. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Luke Smith. From what I can gather, he commands the Developers from an Imperial Land Tank just outside of Bungie. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold. Edit: More strikes to come. And maybe a few raids :)

The right direction? There's not a single thing there that would make me come back. Nothing. Not a single issue was address except that they don't talk to us about shit. Get private matches? Woohoo for 5 minutes. Weapon stats? Who the fck cares? Emote wheel? Oh thank god that's there! 3 of coins 2.0? 3oC was the worst thing introduced for exotics. Made them cheap. More strike tokens? Oh yay 😒 Ornaments? That's a priority! Reasons to run the prestige raid? Shhhh we can't say that yet even though we said we don't communicate enough. We can spend shards for gear we want? So we can all run the same 4 weapons!!! 🤗 Where's the 6v6 mode with dedicated servers? Where's the raid perks? Why isn't endgame content the only way to max level? Can I even view challenges in the hud without having to wait for 10+ glimmer to disappear? Why can't I still arrange the vault how I want? Why is there only 50 shader spots but more than 50 shaders in the game? Why don't mods come with perks? Why does mobility and resilience still do sweet f all? Why after all this burning does bungie not give out this pathetically small dlc out for free?

Bungie is a gaggle of inveterate liars, utterly bereft of any ethical compass. You can't trust a goddamn thing any of them says or writes, so today's post is completely meaningless. I'll be kicking myself in the ass for some time to come for buying D2, but at least I had enough self-control to steer clear of the season pass.

My opinion is you can see they chose a direction but for many it wasn’t the right one. They have chosen to keep with the neutered balanced structure with boring weapons and a everyone wins mentality. With this decision they have moved further away from a loot shooter rpg where effort and accomplishments make you stronger in game and then others. Like I said in another post this is fine if this is the direction they want to head but if they keep down that train I guarantee many will bail either soon or after they play the content they purchased with D2 at launch. I got the season passes so I’ll play what I paid for but after that if they stay down this path I’ll be done.

Destiny isn't a -blam!-ing collection game! People don't play anymore because you sucked the fun out of becoming a space magic fueled killing machine, not because we don't have that last trash piece of armor you were never going to use. We want abilities we use more often, weapons that make us feel powerful, engrossing encounters that are fun to play over and over. Not "moments we can savor, " peas shooters, and literally jumping through hoops and calling it a raid. Cowards couldn't even show their faces.

That letter read like something I'd write a girlfriend after I majorly f'd up. It was pretty weird and out of place.

The thing you have to wonder is when was this written? I'm guessing around the beginning of October and it's just being released now

No kiosks No vault organization No raid specific perks No mention of rumble ( they will never implement 6v6) No strike specific loot No strike scoring system and medals No mention about how they will make lost sectors interesting No info about the sandbox tuning No mention about giving the ability to choose crucible game mode No adept weapons Even if we can choose what we want from the vendors there is no point in going back when you have the full set because these are static rolls. D1 we always had the chance of a good roll on palindrome but in d2 better devils will always have the same perks, the stats might change due to the new system but how much difference will that make? Skeptical about this one.

No it’s not. The entire damn thing is just about making loot easier to get. They didn’t address ANYTHING about giving us some sort of endgame or reason to keep playing.

Please people, 1v2 or 1vs multiple is not going to get fixed by adjusting the TTK. Adjusting the ttk is only going to promote camping. You will die from two bullets to the head and won't see where they came from. In the games current state, a person that is sitting and waiting will get the first shot off but because of the current TTK, one has a better chance of escaping or outgunning that person. The best alternative to this, is to add two tactical grenades, like flashbangs or smoke grenades, to the Guardians loadout. Anything that creates a diversion or affects opponents in non lethal ways will assist in this type of engagements. Just don't let the affect last too long. It will still allow hunters and warlocks to dodge and Titans can deploy their shields to avoid death.
