I have about a thousand hours logged in D2, so I wanted to post some feedback on D2. Personnally I wouldn’t have logged 1,000 hours if I didn’t enjoy this game. I think it’s very well balanced, the worlds are beautiful, mechanically it performs great, and the gun feel is superb. I am excited for the changes coming in the new update, and am looking forward to the new DLC content. ——- My feedback is aimed at exotics and their acquisition. Exotics being the most powerful pieces of gear in the game I think they deserve some effort to acquire. Since we already have a large enough pool of established exotics, and Xur whom you can purchase exotics from my idea is very simple: Drop the exotic engram drop rate to be equivalent to that of the Challenger Ghost Shell, and add a lengthy and rigorous quest for every exotic in the game. Since exotics are being being improved, their power level and impact in the game are becoming more critical. Having a line of play to earn them from a given point on (Fall DLC) it would allow players to maintain their exotic collection (which is already very viable) and add the chase and quest for more power in the future. ———- If we implement quest lines (lengthy involved quest lines) for each new exotic (or returning) then we add reason to “grind out” activities in the game, and we can get that old D1 grind feel back. ———- I think since we already have an exotic pool, and some new additions to the pool coming in May we can look to the fall DLC as an implementation of new (lowered) drop rates for exotics, and the rigorous quest lines to achieve them without the aid of RNG. Supplemented with Xur, and his wares I think this system we could peak the interest of our old audience that enjoyed the RPG feel of questing out and earning their gear. ———— As far as the current system stands, it doesn’t preclude play lines to all players, but as the community has shown there are some areas of the game that don’t “feel rewarding”. ————- Again I’d like to reiterate that I enjoy this game, and spend the vast majority of it in pvp, but also in raids, worlds, and other contents equally. ————- I hope my feedback gets through and is helpful. Thanks again Bungie. You’ve caught a lot of flak over the past few months, but I’m still playing this game as much as I can, because so enjoy it. -a fellow Guardian
