Nothing you do is going to matter if you don’t address the underlying issue. No game mode changes, no proximity buff, not even moving snipers and shotties to primary and giving them elemental damage with high-caliber ricochet explosive rounds that create an area of effect with masterwork range will help. Heck, you could give us all 900 rpm Black Spindles that fire Gally rounds, and the next day we’d be right back here complaining because the underlying problem is your network architecture, netcode, and almost complete lack of exploit detection. I mean, yeah, you enhanced the reporting mechanic, but we both know you can’t rely on people knowing the difference between a cheating and bad netcode. Well, we *could* know quite a bit more if we had been given PRIVATE MATCHES at the turn of the new year! D1 helped us overlook the natural imbalance these issues created, because everything else was fun. There’s some fun in D2, but it dies off quickly, because in the end we’re shooting at the same stuff and somehow the raid becomes more of a grind than a challenge, and, much like real schools, you don’t reward teachers to teach. Well, you might bend over for YouTubers and OpEds, but they aren’t in the trenches in numbers, are they? There was a precursor to the fall of subscriptions/followers, which led to lower users, and that’s where your real problem is. And now, everyone who’s left has been forced to segregate into a skills-based caste system, a trend that is reinforced by paid-carries and elitist LFG reqs. Fundamentally, all your challenges are related and all your solutions are sound, but only in isolation. The problem is they create disjoins among the application domains, which translate to immediate disjoins in the user-base. In that case, given finite resources, you can only do one of two things: create two high-level domains, PvE and PvP, to maintain the integrity of the edges in each; or overhaul the network structure, using PvP to relieve the strain on PvE edges. Otherwise, your current roadmap will only encourage further isolation, attrition and segregation among users. Finally, I realize some of your challenges may be due to an inherent downside of Agile. One thing I’ve noticed no one admit to about Agile is that it assumes you start with a viable release that meets the needs of your market, a minimum viable product, or the specs for one from stakeholders. You don’t have that. That is, if you’re going to revert from version N to version 0, then you need to confirm V0 specs with your stakeholders. You didn’t. You just descoped arbitrarily. So, if you don’t start with an MVP, while each sprint looks great on paper, you’re actually working against the grain, continuously sacrificing either technical debt, bug fixing or product enhancements, where the process of accomplishment actually works against you because you got the start of the process wrong. Agile doesn’t really allow a natural course correction. Planning A includes a retrospective that you never have time to implement, and if you use Jira, you’re in a workflow that forces you to show progress, so you Won’t Do or On Hold and toss it all in a Backlog that won’t become relevant as your product or codebase moves further and further from your stakeholders’ use cases.

All I want to know is did you guys put another throttle on crimson engrams or is my rng luck just horrible? I've played close to 100 matches between all 3 of my characters and have only received 1 crimson engam. Only other ones I have received are from when I leveled up

[b]WELL COZMO I WOULD ASK HOW YOU LIKE IT BUT YOU DON'T DESTINY (2)... LETS SEE 310 HUNTER LEVEL 25 290 TITAN LEVEL 20 206 WARLOCK LEVEL 20 THERE IS ONE THING THESE SO CALLED COMMUNITY MANAGERS HAVE IN COMMON NONE OF THEM PLAY... bye cozmo[/b]

Each match seems to simply be a fight over power ammo and spamming grenades. Very little gun play. Once you own the power zone the match turns quickly. Maybe do away with power ammo for this mode?

I like this event but it should have weapons and armor as rewards. I like the game mode, but the rewards are trash. All cosmetics. This is a first person shooter with an event that does not reward armor or guns? This is a shooter right? Can I shoot someone with a shader? Can I shoot someone with a sparrow or ghost shell or emote? The decision to remove random rolls should have been quickly followed with the decision to increase the sheer number of different weapons 100 fold. We went from millions of possible perk combinations to a sad few. The grind for gear is nonexistent and the gear you do get you don't even look at before you shard it. Still, these kind of events are a step in the right direction but the fact that this game mode will be gone next week leaving us with regular boring crucible is not good.

Guys are quitting because the connection is terrible. Rubber bullets everywhere. When will you guys do something about this. CBMM over skill always.

We hate teamshot... so you force us into 2v2 teamshot mode. We beg for MORE players in crucible... and you REDUCE the number of players in crucible. We hate things that don't require skill... so you make insane rift, shield, grenade spam mode. We hate your p2p networking which rewards laggy players... so you have the 2v2 get matchmade with people from opposite ends of the planet. What do I think of crimson days 2v2? What do you think burning to death would feel like?

It’s trash. Gives good amount of Engrams but I got put in legit 10 games in a row with 1-2 rounds complete and I had no partner
