With over 2000hrs and over 500 total raid completions on d1 alone i played the d2 preorder beta in hopes i would see the spark d1 was losing and find a reason to go all in again.
4 hours into the beta, i grabbed my receipt went to gamestop and demanded a refund. My exact reasoning was as follows.
"They dumbed everything down to resell us d1 through future dlc's and updates. That's all d2 is, the price of the next 3 years of updates at the cost of a full triple a title with half the content and none of the power fantasy of its predecessor".
I'm no psychic but i am observant..
Everything from how weapon tunning was nerfs and buffs isntead of a consitent flow of competitive content, to the false promises of removing perks to retool them for balance to be re-added for better balance.
From the proven lies about how legacy consoles were holding d1 back only after making legacy consoles obsolete, we got no better graphics, no extra vault space, no more frequent drops of new content, nothing, just obsolete consoles and discs.
The way d.o.t. was handled and the artifact that was made irrelevant months before its release cause of the nerfs that neutered that mechanic...
The fact pvpers call t.t.k the greatest dlc of d1 while easily forgetting t.t.k. introduced bloom to handcannons making them useless for nearly the entirety of the rest of d1's relevance.
The fact t.t.k removed elemental primaries to:
A: increase time played
B: increase variety
Then t.t.k. released tons of reskins and raid weapons almost no one wanted and all previous raids and strikes after t.t.k were speed ran. Strikes under 3 mintues and some pve endgame content took just 6 minutes.
Bungie has lied to this community time and time again and i barely scratched the surface.
No one listened to me in d1 or when d2 beta was coming out so now I've unequivocally been proven right and am the self proclaimed "oracle of bungie", i ask a simple request.
Voice your opinions.... The nearly 80% majority opinion that destiny is a shameless cash grab and no one game should ever place at risk the future of gaming itself.
Voice that opinion by using the only language companies understand or respect. Money.
#REFUNDDESTINY.
Unless you really think it's just a coincidence that bungie only decided to be productive after their cash cow tess was trending as the games most well known villain.
Make gaming great again
#REFUNDDESTINY
TL;DR?: It took me 4 hours to see what 80% of this games community took 4 months to see. Open your eyes FASTER!

I had hope. Most of us had enough fun and even most of the reviewers were happy early on. It took awhile to really sink in what was happening as you had to play for awhile before the glaring problems and exploits were obvious to everyone. This was the last straw for me personally. . Bungies long term plan, in black and white, END GAME MONETIZATION SCAM that negatively affects EVERYONE and THE ENTIRE GAME.

1 RespuestaEditado por toughonstains632: 1/21/2018 7:21:03 PMI hear ya man. I saw the game starting to slide downhill at TTK, and I spent most of my time trying to adapt to PvP, but at least then the game still had enough solid hooks to keep me going. It wasn't until the year 2 april update with POE re-releasing and being the easiest content patch to date, that I started to get alarmed. By the time Destiny 2 was announced and Bungie went against what the community wanted every single patch after the Y2 April update, I knew it wasn't going to be great. To what degree? I didnt know. What I do know is that as much as I want Destiny to not suck, that I've been more excited for Borderlands 3 since Destiny 2 was announced. I'm looking forward to that game.

3 RespuestasI agree that senior game play designer Jon Weisnewski made terrible choices. What was even his thought process? Has anyone seen his twitter? He still thinks everything is fine with D2.

3 RespuestasWhen I played the Beta I was completely underwhelmed. I had serious doubts about the game and I became hesitant to pre-order. Unfortunately I listened to the players that said, "Relax, it's only the Beta" and the ever popular, "It's an old build. They are just testing the servers....". Yeah. I played it for about 5 weeks before I gave up. This was a $20 game masquerading as a full fledged $60 "AAA" Title. I haven't felt this let down since I paid $60 for the first incarnation of Star Wars Battlefront for the PS4.

14 RespuestasIt took everyone on the forum to see your post has no upvotes. It's in the negatives. Lol. Run away child. No one wants to hear you

6 RespuestasWoah you’re so cool (not really). Have a cookie 🍪 and be on your way child.

22 RespuestasSo you created an account to post in the forums not connected to your D2 account Pretending you did what you said. You see the thing is if you never played the full release then you wouldn't know how the game actually turned out. Your massive ridiculous wall of text ACTUALLY has many many clues that you have and probably still play D2. But you think you can be toxic in a new way to feel special. 10 out 10 for effort but 0 out of 10 for accomplishment I am afraid buddy. BUT let's say you are being truthful... then you've proven that it really does take a very special type of loser to play a beta. Never play a full game and then over 4 months later make a post about a game they really shouldn't give a -blam!- about. So 10 out of 10 for being a very special type of loser. You see you lose in every way. Bye bye and muted for being a toxic poster.

1 RespuestaI agree this game needs fixing, but we’ll never get an accurate, overall opinion on this game. The only opinions you hear are the negative ones from the vocal part of the community, which is a minority when related to the whole community. Like I said, the game needs fixing, it does, but clearly this is where the game is. I think bungie has noticed the feedback so if they’re gonna do anything to fix it, they already have it planned. All these posts are, to me, pointless, bandwagon talk.

1 RespuestaTL:DR suumary - Op attempts to prove how intelligent they are, but all their arguments are invalid as they preordered a video game. Intelligent consumers do not preorder video games. Also, it took them four hours to figure out things it took most four minutes.
