Hardcore vs Casual, Is Bungie holding this game back knowing it can have more of a balance?

There are some that think Destiny is being created more for hardcore gamers and there is no changing their mind about. Nothing wrong with that, it's their opinion. Personally, I believe how things have been handled have to do more with trying to get players time spent in certain activities. The reason I say this is because most everything in this Destiny is not really a challenge, it's just extended grind time using bounties/quest and RNG with low drop rates with certain achievements. IMO the game is being held back knowing how easy it is to cater to both Casual/hardcore even though some think it's not. This is just a small list of things that can benefit both groups and I can make a Huge list that it wouldn't be that hard for Bungie to do to have more of a balance between both groups. It's just a matter of how willing Bungie is to put in that effort. [spoiler]Edit: Bungie can start the balance by adding a normal mode to all raids as D2 should have had when it released Crucible needs new maps that are 6v6 maps. 4v4 is 75% of the issue with PvP. Stop with the overdone mindless grind when it comes to quests just to get their quota for a players time spent in this game. Look for a happy medium, they have had 12 years of working on destiny to figure this out. Stop with the Obsession they have with exotic hand cannons because exotics themselves are not even close to being balanced when creating exotics. Update vendors giving them an inventory and not just use them as a bounty placeholder. Bring back factions because it doesn't take any company in this entire world over a year to figure out what to do with something so small. Update Blind Well giving it specific loot Update strikes giving it specific loot. Update EP making it relevant Add optional matchmaking to the Nightfall[/spoiler] Bungie, how about adding things that can benefit both groups like a normal raid mode like D1 had so it give more options for the player base to learn the raids, you can even add a 3rd mode making them more of a challenge for those that say they are a hardcore gamer. You have options and plenty of them, to say the least. Edit: Thank you for those that were respectful and had an open mind about the topic. Actually, a lot of you were, It's nice to see there are people that can look at the overall and have a decent conversation on this forum in spite of who agrees or disagrees 👍 People are allowed to have a different opinion, there is nothing wrong with that, what matters is how one presents themselves that will determine where any conversation will head.

  • [quote]Bungie can start the balance by adding a normal mode to raids as D2 should have had when it released.[/quote] All Destiny 2 Raids are “normal mode.” There’s no Prestige or challenge mode for anything except Leviathan. Raids are fine. [quote]Stop with the overdone mindless grind when it comes to quests just to get their quota for a players time spent in this game. Look for a happy medium, they have had 12 years of working on destiny to figure this out.[/quote] This I can agree with. The absolute madness of material chasing this season, slaving away every reset to do targeted bounties for Cores (COULD BE DROPS FROM PLAYLIST ACTIVITIES AND LEVELING UP) and I’m tired of exotic quests that don’t have any special qualities to them except the end reward. Truth was recycled beyond belief, Bad Juju was perfection. Bad Juju, Year 3 Gjallarhorn, etc. These are the role models. [quote]Stop with the Obsession they have with exotic hand cannons [/quote] Yes and no. I still want to see the First Curse. And the fact that we have 8 kinetic exotic hand cannons and 1 energy one is kind of dumb. Thorn should have been Void. Still want other Exotics of other weapon types (SOLAR BOW) [quote]because exotics themselves are not even close to being balanced when creating exotics.[/quote] Wut? [quote]Update vendors giving them an inventory and not just use them as a bounty placeholder.[/quote] PLEASE [quote]Bring back factions because it doesn't take any company in this entire world over a year to figure out what to do with something so small.[/quote] SRL TOO [quote]Update Blind Well giving it specific loot[/quote] Turn it into Dreaming City’s Menagerie. Gain consumables from Petra that you turn in at the Blind Well for specific weapons and rolls. Consumables cost Dark Shards And BARYON BOUGH [quote]Update strikes giving it specific loot.[/quote] Skeleton Keys. [quote]Update EP making it relevant[/quote] Considering the EP Armor appears in the Shadowkeep Vidoc it’s safe to assume at least the armor will be reworked. More weapons available in the loot pool would be nice though. [quote]Add optional matchmaking to the Nightfall[/quote] Maybe in D1. Not in D2. The way Nightfalls work now makes it more complicated than just adding matchmaking. In my opinion they should have just left Nightfalls the way they were in D1, timer and all.
