I was really into sunsetting. I thought it would be good for the game. But I didn’t expect it to be done the way it is being done. First, armor shouldn’t have been part of sunsetting at all. It takes a large amount of time to get god roll armor sets and sunsetting armor does nothing for the game. I was okay with sunsetting world drop weapons, but was expecting them to be replaced with new stuff. Instead its replaced with the same old stuff that we’ve already had, and we are tasked with re-grinding those weapons out again. It has only been the recent TWAB that they announced re-issued weapons returning that will have new perk pools. THIS ( IMO) is a good example of weapons being re-issued in a sunsetting system, but it does nothing if the devs haven’t added new weapons to the game to replace the large amount of weapons being taken out. Since there’s hardly any new gear, even re-issuing weapons seems insulting. The pinnacle weapons that were over powered put more people into the pro sunsetting pool. But the Devs are not replacing the gear with new gear like in previous sunsetting examples, and the gear that is new is super safe. We don’t get anything to replace those super powerful weapons like recluse and mountain top.
IMO, I think the devs should just sunset super powerful pinnacle weapons annually, and just make an awesome pinnacle weapon for each activity with each expansion. Make pinnacle weapons no so grind-y. And revert all sunsetting to armor and world drop weapons.
The sad thing is that sunsetting and Stasis in PvP are combined and causing lots of players to leave the franchise. This will be on the scale of when D2 first launched (regardless to the heaps of negative feedback from the community Bungie stuck with duel primary system, static rolls on gear, and 4v4 PvP. It took them a year to eat crow and go back to the systems that were already working properly) unless the dev implement fixes to these systems.
Stop fixing stuff that ain't broke.

From my point of view, season 13 in addition to the season of the chosen one is also where Bungie is going to play it in every way, one thing is the forum and another very different social networks, twitter for example is sounding very strong. Now, for what 6 elements of eververso are worth, we can buy outriders, many are recommending it but it is also that it comes out on what can be called a critical date and it is in April, if there is nothing transcendent this season 13 ... ..this time we are going to see a lot of people leave, that game has many incentives, also there are more games this year. So I can say that your publication is correct, I really do not think they are aware of the extent of anger of many people in this game, in the end there will not be even hackers because ... why am I going to strive in something that I know I'm going to lose?. have the feeling of finding something great but that we are going to lose in a few months ..... that they no longer have my money.

1 RespuestaThat comparison is actually spot on. In the first year of D2 loot didn't matter because of static rolls. Now loot doesn't matter because of an expiration date.
-
14 RespuestasI hate to say this, but a mass exodus is the only thing that Bungie will listen too.
-
2 RespuestasThe game is free to access now. So even if it is awful, it will have players. And a lot of them.

5 RespuestasSmellygreen out here sucking farts in this comment section. Never seen someone so delusional

58 RespuestasNope. This is more like the Eververse Riot three years ago. You have a angry minority of players who are so mad that they drowning out discussion of anything else and sucking up all the oxygen in the room. An angry minority that refuses to hear that the majority of the player base isn’t with them because their voice is being artificially amplified in an echo chamber. Nearly a million players logged in to play yesterday. That is [i]ahead[/i] of the typical end-of-season average. So there is no exodus from the game. Just a struggle for control of it and the factions who feel they are losing are mad and trying to pressure Bungie into changing their vision of the game.

11 RespuestasI've been following the trend here. And for the first time Kelly Green is right. Bungie will not revert or reverse their stance on this. Bungie made their bed and they are sleeping on it. I don't like what they did to this game. But no matter how loud we shout, they will not change. Kelly Green is correct. We should leave. Quit the game. If you can't, then stay. But if you can quit, then quit the game. They will not change. You can shout. Or you can shout and quit. If not, then keep playing. But you'll be disappointed. I chose to quit.

According to destiny tracker, you are right. However it’s a long time that this franchise lost 90% of their players. Management has just became expert at improving the yield on cash cowing on this very small segment. And Activision were the devil.
-
Let’s give them a mass exodus!!!!
-
Editado por WTDR_Zeus: 1/19/2021 12:17:50 AMI’ll hop on for Crucible and gambit when I feel like it, but I’m done with the 4+ hours everyday I’ve done for the past 6 years. Edit: aside from Revoker, none of my favorite weapon loadouts in PvP were meta, but now I can only run them in normal crucible. I’ve found myself not even running Banner because I don’t want to use current power weapons.

When does the boycott start????
-
7 RespuestasYeah but you guys keep playing.....
-
I moved back to h5 for a balanced, competitive shooter. No regrets. Invited some sweaty friends to tag along. Three of us don't even come back for trials anymore, one of us plays for trials. Aside the five of us, my friends list has been emptying itself of the word "destiny" lately. But really, I think the exodus will be when infinite drops. All of the old halo kids (most destiny vets) will rotate out to check it out and if it's good, they'll stay.

17 RespuestasI truly believe bungie wants to destroy this game.

Historically, the mass exodus is always followed by a huge uptick in the fall..... [spoiler]I’m not holding my breathe[/spoiler]

Remember Luke Smith is a writer or at best a one-hit wonder, not an accomplished game dev. This is what happens when you make an actual armchair dev your lead.

8 RespuestasIts already happening while we speak. I have 2 players online out of 476 on a sunday while most are at home because of covid....

67 Respuestas"I was really into Sunsetting" Stopped reading right there because you are part of the problem. Sure, you regret it now and hopefully you will never again support such a stupid concept. But like everything else, you made this bed and if I had my way you would be forever forced to play this game for 16 hours a day as punishment.
-
People talk about all the numbers of players still playing Destiny 2. Always remember, numbers can be faked! It's called cooking the books and it's illegal! Yet businesses do it all the time. If there isn't a mass exodus going on now, there soon may be.

4 RespuestasI may sit next season out

My bungie account got sunsetted
-
4 RespuestasSecond lowest playerbase since May 2020. Lost 47% of peak playerbase since November 2020. Yeah it's nose diving badly.
-
4 RespuestasAnother clown regretting something that was obvious from the start. Thanks for the post Luke Smith
-
62 RespuestasWe were down to 100k players in Y1, we are current around a million daily players with a month left until the next content drop. We are nowhere near Y1 numbers, we haven’t even dropped below last seasons numbers.
-
Maybe if this was D1 where you had 5 vendors who's stock was refreshed often, the new DLC came with a decent amount of loot you could get away with it. With D2, we have 2 vendors who's loot hasbt been refreshed in forever it seems like and miniscule loot drops with each DLC. We seen the trend and knew what was going to happen. They'd sunset gear and then add it back as new loot to make their seasons seeem like they have more than they do. I called it and so far I've been dead on.
-
For what it’s worth I enjoyed what little I was able to play y1. Even that right now is preferable to this current state.
