Developer update feedback

Appreciate the heads up and time for this considering recent events. There are some hype stuff in there that look good. However, there are two instances that are concerning. First, "These specialists provide us with the kind of perspective you can only get from dedicated players." If these are the same players you listened to for these past seasons or for vespers, stop. They are asking for the wrong stuff imo. This will lead to my next point. Vespers contest was fun, but the dungeon itself, like Salvations, seems to be designed for the contest experience only. Not the replayability of the activity. The increase to time required for activities is not being adequately rewarded. I do not want to spend an hour in a dungeon for armor only. Loot structure needs to be updated. So if I choose to spend time on destiny, it's rewarded. Crafting did this for me, at least. It was an eventual goal I could go into something, knowing my time would be rewarded. The loud minority seems to be against this, so whatever. Giving people more loot has to be on the table. The game is rapidly losing players very simply because difficulty increases with no incentive to actually do those newer difficult things.

  • I deleted my discord account this morning since I only used it for D2. I’m gradually reducing my playing time. It doesn’t keep me interested anymore. The Dawning event bugs and their “give them the same loot” just doesn’t captivate me anymore. I am not buying Frontiers when it releases. If it gets deeply discounted later which I’m sure it will then I’d probably pick it up and dabble in it a bit but my hours upon hours of dedicated playing time is over. Most people I used to play with do not play it anymore.

    Yep the game simply isn’t rewarding enough for the playtime it requires. I’m considering putting in for this job because I’ve been playing this game since D1 day one with the exception of a few months during Warmind because of college. I have virtually every PvE seal that’s come out. Although I don’t love PvP, I am not bad at it. I’ve seen every state this game has been in. I’m reading here, Reddit, Twitter, etc. I have concerns and reasonable suggestions for them. But I also have praises for the things this game does well. I feel like I’ll never be heard unless I try to put in for this lol the only thing is I already work full time. But if I could do even part time remote, that would be amazing.

      The streamers are moving on to other games so Bungie are doubling down on keeping them interested. Now they are actually hiring them. Lets not ask the players what they want, say in a survey on our very own website, nah .. lets just get more of the people who got us here in. That'll work. Frontiers is a hard pass for me. The state of the game in all aspects means its time to move on. They were telling us that Episodes were this big new way of story telling when it was just four months of relationship therapy, busy work, and talking to people at a screen that are literally standing five feet away. I have zero faith in anything Bungie is working on. The Dawning, the same event they have run for years, was bugged. And it has you going to Nessus to give Failsafe a cookie when she has been in the Helm for months. Couldn't even be bothered up dating it. Everything about this game is either falling apart, a tedious unrewarding shambles, or both. Too many great games out there to waste further time on Destiny. It's had its day but Bungie are more interested in making that 763rd emote they can hawk to the terminally gullible for £8 than update Dares of Eternity to make it worthwhile. Cyberpunk 2077 just got a 2.2 update that added lots of features the players wanted, they didn't have to hire streamers or have "summits" to do that. CDPR just listened. Thats the problem with Destiny. Bungie do not, and never will, listen. And there is no point in supporting a game where you time and presence is not valued.

        It felt kind of tone deaf to me. The revenant weapon chase is boring without the option to craft them. The community is way too evenly split on this “issue” to have removed it from seasonal weapons. Drops aren’t suddenly exciting now “because RNG” and a large enough portion of the player base isn’t happy about removing crafting from the seasonal weapons. Yet all we heard in this update was “weapon crafting removed the joy of the random drop” which utterly misses the point for like half the players base considering the constant discussion surrounding crafting. It’s exhausting at this point. That they don’t understand or refuse to acknowledge that crafting and RNG can coexist for the same weapons is kind of just insulting at this point. It’s SUCH an easy fix.

          Player feedback was very clear we wanted weapon crafting, and instead of making Weapons craftable they double down on no crafting. Really shows they are listening to streamers and ignoring the rest of us. I hate contest dungeon runs. After how vespers final boss phase was during contest I am skipping this next contest dungeon run. It’s even stupider that they time gate normal mode. I’m sure someone will say but it’s only for couple hours and only 2 days of the year. Bro it’s a dungeon not a raid nuff said.

        • At this point I'm convinced that Bungie Crit Failed and learned every wrong lesson from Into the Light I'm just not confident the Tyson Green team are going to take the game in a good direction

          • Because D2 is coming to a close ! Why put money , effort into something that is going away . Everyone who started d2 is gone . Time to accept because there isn’t much happening with d2.

            • Without dedicated servers on the 10th anniversary this game will just die. Cant alienate half the plaerbase and there is to few "new" players to scam
