I dont understand this cause they havent abandoned any storylines and the connect between the stories is clear. People really need to read the lore more.

From some of the responses here from the "Loremasters" makes me laugh. I play a video game to be an actor in the story not an mere observer. If I wanted to read good sci-fi I sure as shit would not be going with Bungie's mediocre writing crew.

Except they aren't abandoning story lines. The Stranger was finished until the darkness arrived. I assume she is linked w/ our fight against the Darkness. Savathun has been building up. In no way has the story line been abandoned. Oryx had recent lore, possibly being resurrected. Siva also was never abandoned. Eramis I think is the name of the House of Devils Baronness probably bringing back the devil splicers. The Dreaming City is in a time loop, there is literally nothing we can do until Savathun makes her move there if she ever does. If you read the lore, you would know that. Shadowkeep continued the story line of the darkness quite significantly. We partially know what the darkness could be capable of. And we learned more than just about the darkness with shadowkeep. Literally everyone complaining about this stuff is being ignorant. And what sucks is you guys are the loudest voices. If you are going to complain about the story of the game how about looking into the lore and realizing that your complaints really are meaningless.

I personally don't mind the hopping around. I for one enjoy the large amount of variety and the concept of time off to revisit a story arc. Letting it progress in the background through the lore. It makes it feel less forced and far more natural. A. Stranger might get some love here shortly considering what we got in Warmind and the fact we now have had a direct encounter with a pyramid ship and we're messing with the Vex a ton. B. Crota was pretty much open and shut. Shadowkeep was Chapter 2 of the Moon story arc. C. Skolas was very much so wrapped up. All that came from that was more stuff with the Nine and so forth which has been and is continually expanded upon when it fits. D. The entire Taken King story arc has almost been wrapped up. We had Taken King which was Chapter 1, the April update which was Chapter 2 and then Forsaken which would be Chapter 3. We still have an obvious 4th Chapter and Im fine with that. Save it for a big DLC. Its a massive and complex story arc with easily a dozen of large moving parts. Give them to time to make it as good as they can make it. E. Rise of Iron was very much so open and closed and we can see this still in D2. The Cosmodrome is on quarantine now that we took care of the Siva threat and destroyed the replication complex. At the end of D1 we had broken the Fallen and they left. Now in D2 sure the House of Dusk has gone back and we have the whole thing with Mithrax that can be explored but that can wait a bit. As for the Siva arc there could be more but again I'd give that a back seat too for a while. Definitely not priority. F. Red War was finished. We won and took back the city, got our light, broke the Legion, and so forth. Very much closed especially considering how minimal the Red Legion has been until Season 9 and thats dealing with the Forest and Sundial. G. Curse of Osiris was semi completed but it seems like we're rounding it off here in entirety. We killed Panoptes and saved time. Stopped the Cabal from doing stuff, did the prophecies, and so forth. H. Warmind was semi completed as well but again it seems like we might be rounding it off next season. Now yes there's a lot that can be done with Rasputin in regards to well everything but I don't think Bungie wants to overuse Rasputin considering how they've treated him in both games. I. Forsaken is not done but I understand why. Like I said for Taken King this but a Chapter of the entire Taken War story arc. It changed the entire solar system. Its going to take time to wrap that up with the scale that this arc is on. Plus I highly doubt they'd want to spend several expansions in a row going on about the same exact thing. Players probably wouldn't like that either. J. Black Armory for the most part is done unless Bungie has something planned for Fallen syndicates. K. Joker's Wild was the first official Chapter in the Nine story arc, something thats been getting developed since D1. Give it time, they're a massive component in the entire foundation of Destiny and its apparent. Let Bungie work their magic with the Nine. As for the Drifter this is the one time I can agree they could deliver more for sure. L. Penumbra was the first official Chapter for Calus with the Y1 raids being build up. He seems like he's going to be a big deal in the near future with the main arc of the entire game. They're still building up other pieces for this so I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Calus or a catalyst for something involving him is missing from their plans right now. M. Shadowkeep like I said was the next Chapter in the Moon story arc. This time it had an even larger direct impact on the main overarching story. This was the first official pyramid ship encounter and just happened so take it easy. Its only been a few months. All in all Bungie's style of telling their stories while yes can be frustrating at times lends itself to a unique beauty many other games simply don't have. Bungie writes dynamically and really makes the world go through phases and changes in real time. They use the lore to continue supplementing everything. Lets be real. You can't fit everything on the screen in one DLC without overwhelming most players. Its better to give players time to process everything and move through the game then push the next bit out when it naturally fits.

I'm not defending BUNGiE when I say this: They lost Joe Staten. The lead author of Destiny's original universe. When they lost him, they lost their understanding of Destiny's everything. That's why it's all choppy. They're writing it as they go because they -blam!-ed up and pissed off the most integral members of the team.

Yep.. Gaurdian : We have to go to Mercury and we need to find Saint 14 ! Ghost/Bungie: But first you need to go to Mars, kill 1000 hive and collect 500 Hive essence. After that, go to the Crucible and kill 100 players with a fusion grenades. Then proceed to get 500 kills in Gambit with a primary Sidearm. After all that, Saint 14 comes to the tower and is pretty much just... " hey gaurdian, would you like fries with that ?" This is Bungie's ingame storytelling.

To be honest I haven’t got a clue what’s going on anymore, I just rock up at the tower, grab a gun and go and shoot stuff.

I’m mostly annoyed that we haven’t heard from Uldren in over a year. I’m fine with waiting for the rest.

Honestly yeah. Shadowkeep introduces the pyramid ships, season of dawn expands on shadowkeeps story by exactly 0%

It feels like watching nothing but filler episodes all while anticipating the big background story arc. We want depth

Bungie abandons storylines like America abandoned flint Michigan.

A lot of the stories have ended. They’re just so anticlimactic that no one remembers them.

What happened to the siding with the driftor/vanguard thing
