1. Fornite developed the game engine that they work with. So they know it better than everyone else who uses it...and that engine is known for its "agility". OTOH, The Destiny engine is known for the exact opposite. That it is not at all agile...and is difficult and tedious to work with. 2. Fortnite is a game that is still in its pre-release phase, and doesn't have any PVE game play to have to account for. In fact, the only people who have access to the PVE side of the game right now are those people who (like me) bought one of the "Founder's" versions of the game. So Epic can do whatever they want with the BR side of the game. Whereas Bungie has to consider and test any changes they make for the impact they will have on PVE. 3. There are no free lunches. Just who gets stuck with the bill. IOW, every approach has its problems...and its a matter of what problems you want to put up with. While Epic's churning of the sandbox is seen as a positive in PVP games, it is considered a major negative in PVE games. In fact Epic is churning the sandbox with such frequency that its starting to annoy many PVP players. Because the changes are coming out with such speed----and probably so little quality or play testing----that they are starting to erode in-game performance. TLDR: Neither approach is ideal. Bungie---mainly because of their determination to keep a unified sandbox, and the technical challenges their game engine saddles them with---are too slow and ponderous in the changes they make. And the changes almost always piss off their PVE fanbase. Epic is becoming haphazard and arguably irresponsible with their pace of change. They are actually just churning the sandbox right now...and as a result many ongoing problems in the game (like glitchy shotgun damage) go unaddressed.

Do you even know how complex is a game like destiny? And how simple is a game like fortine that online has pvp? No maybe you dont

Reading responses, I understand that the nuts and bolts of the two games are pretty different. But what I think you can't deny, is that the frequency of the patches for FN make it fun and fresh and really keep the community on it's toes. Some don't work and the devs roll with that. That type of direction would have been much appreciated here. Try stuff, improve stuff, some won't work, keep it changing. Now we get one major update to the sandbox in over 6 months. That's not cutting it.

Fortnite is a much smaller game, and still in development...

Unbelievable that they've moved this post to feedback. This post is not feedback. I'm not providing bungie with any feedback at all, I'm asking a question about why it takes so long to apply simple updates. Please can you move this back to the Destiny 2 topic where I originally placed it?

It's cause fortnot has no real database, the list of guns us around 20 weapons, then another 10 special weapons. It also has very limited gameplay unlike d2. If bungie buffed scout rifles they have to balance it for multiple pvp and pve game modes, and multiple damage types. Fortnot down have that problem as a head shot does the same damages a footshot, and Jr only has 1 real game mode

Bungie logic is what will destroy this Destiny franchise long-term. They will come back with their "it's too hard to make content" excuse because the majority of their staff is working on the next cash grab Destiny 3 at the moment. So we're essentially stuck with a broken D2 game.

So what happened is that bungle has shifted its main development lemming power to crafting up destiny 3 and left a smaller team to deal with us in d2. Patches take longer, the talent is lesser quality so coding changes take more effort, creative and artistic teams are no longer deployed in d2 upkeep meaning less content, longer timelines for fixes, etc. Fortnite has dedicated teams that have no other projects. Much like war frame, developers are not contractually obligated to begin the next project once their game launches and they are able to spend more time and resources on making their title a better experience. This pattern will continue until the life cycle of bungles contract has expired, unfortunately the cash they are able to bring in with this style of management is likely to result in extensions or similar practices in the future so it's looking like nothing will change anytime soon

Because Lukes team is working on D3. The “Live team” is working on D2 at the moment which is a much smaller team headed by Chris. I think its ridiculous that Luke gets to ruin D2 and then jump right on D3 leaving a much smaller team to fix the game but what do I know.

The thing with fortnite (and yes btw I do play it) is that their updates try and hide the lack of content that the game actually holds. they are rushing out new things to try and keep players with the game and keep the hype going. we can all agree that, at the core and start, the BR part of fortnite is a copy of PUBG. Yes the game has branched off but it still remains a pretty low content game compared to Destiny 2 even at its current state. also their updates take up some serious room for the amount of content that it adds, many gigs for about 3 new weapons. Overall, Fortnite is a skeleton of a game that has skin thrown on top of it with a bunch of stuffing in the middle, most of the time people only play it because of the constant stream of content vomited out by Epic, instead of making the original PvE side of the game available to all and fully flushed out.

Who cares about fornite?
