High expectations for the TWAB today...

We know it, Bungie knows it, we all know it. Though realistically, we were distinctly told that we should not expect too much. After all, the developer team only recently came back from vacation. Things don't just get fixed on a dime...we all understand that. But what I do expect is to have most of our concerns to be addressed, especially since our community manager has had the brunt force of our feedback (constructive or not) for nearly over a month now. If certain things fail to be mentioned, then that would be a clear failure on the communication between the developers and the community manager, or at the very least, complete and utter ignorance that confirms that Bungie outright recuses to listen. These are not exactly demands or pinning blame, but rather just me worrying about the backlash that will occur if Bungie manages to get this wrong. High hopes boys, high hopes.

    Here is what to expect in this TWaB, posted by dmg04: https://twitter.com/A_dmg04/status/1349781005377306626?s=19 [quote]We have four TWABs between now and S13. Setting expectations for today: - Crucible and Gambit Vendor Updates, specifically the ways in which you earn reputation - Reissued rewards for Moon/Dreaming City - Tuning for Shatterdive/Fissures - Future goals for Stasis balance in PvP Separately, the team is in active discussions on PVP but won't have plans to talk about this week. We will share more in the future. Many thanks to all who've been sounding off with feedback. As always, keep it coming.[/quote] Edit: TWaB here https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/50006

        • -Make the last 2 years' expansions not worth doing long enough for us to dismantle all the useless gear. -"Re-issue" it so we have to grind it out all over again. -Call it content. -Profit.

          • [i]...we all know what exactly?[/i] What do you expect to see from/in a [b]twab[/b]? The game is over. They couldn't just pull the plug- [i]so,[/i] they're allowing us to grind out three final dlcs. As a destination Europa is their best yet. I love it. There seems to be quite a bit to do... (It's nonsensical of course), counter-intuitive, better [b][u]watch[/u][/b] a streamer, or YouTuber, or [b][u]read[/u][/b] an article because the spectacle that is Destiny is anything but the game. The game is broken on delivery. Fixed on the fly. The game is boring and worn-out. All these years. Let it sink in, years. The game has devolved. Specific unique loot? Bounty fatigue? Why we are doing what we are doing? The xp grind should be cut in half. Balance: class and light v dark. (The Darkness). Seasonal content. Seperating PvP/pve sandboxes. Don't even get me started on PvP. No maps in forever. No modes in forever. Your hunt is for a blanket wrapped around a gun? Iron banner is the best non-event event! New armour? New weapons? New storyline? Nope. Just another mindless npc met along the way to Oz. Destiny is a lot like me actually, awesome potential but a failure ultimately that never learned to walk so it understood how and why to run. I'm currently pretty pleased, my favourite game has 1 viable destination... Yay. The twab ain't changing that... If you are not happy with Destiny, the twab isn't going to change that either. If you're looking for a smidge of empathy, a distortion of the facts, fake promises, a help desk update and a larger than usual movie section... Then you've every right to get your hopes up!

              • I expect NOTHING. No mention of Sunsetting. They're hiring more to add loot which means they're simply even more committed to the cancer of the game. It also means they're taking in enough $$$$$$k to not give a shz what their customers have been saying this while time. PvP? They'll be no mention of Shotguns destroying all playability, now the no.1 most used weapon. They'll be no mention of new maps at all. No mention of significant changes to Stasis beyond planned for buff to beyond OP then gradually nerf it. No mention of separate adjustment for PvP and PvE. No mention AT ALL of how having no SBMM has single handedly DESTROYED matchmaking. How it RUINED IB - a perpetual mercy rule PvP game. ... I expect some bs lore, guardians, over talking with CUSTOMERS over their long standing CONCERNS. I expect mention only of everything we already know. Partnership over cheating. Funding for more Sunsetting. And Happy 2021.

                • I don’t have a lot of faith in this group. Time and time again they get it wrong. PVP is the worst it has ever been and the game itself is meh. We work hard grinding but for what? Why are we doing all of this? I don’t think they know what they are doing.

                  Seriously, this has been a thing all through the life of Destiny 2, why build up your hopes, I couldn't give a flying f*ck what they say in TWABs, we have the last couple of years to look at and see what's coming, just enjoy the core gun play, which is what I do, and just hope some one some where might wake up and realise that the game needs major changes, in its design and personnel. Beyond Light should've been enough of a wake up call for all of us. Quick edit: Do you really think giving us the chance to grind for weapons you sun setted is some how a good thing? It just shows how far off the mark you lot really are, seriously what is this, knee jerk game design? It's turning into the gaming equivalent of an infinite number of monkeys with type writers giving us the works of Shakespeare, except the chances of the monkeys delivering Shakespeare is way higher than your chance of giving us a decent game. It beggars belief, I can just see you all patting each other on the back saying "good job".

                  Looks like they might reissue moon and DC weapons at some point basically telling you to go regrind the same stuff you dismantled due to sunsetting because reasons.

                  • DMG already tweeted basically saying to lower our expectations. If they got any lower I think I’d quit playing all together.

[/quote] Lol no its going to be the same shit different day. They want people to buy their [b]next[/b] dlc. And people will. They don't really care about the game like players do. Look at all your sunset gear...do you think they care even a little about players and the gameplay? or do they just want to sell you their next dlc?

                      • We might learn when Iron Banner is coming back... All jokes aside, as super infuriating as crucible has been lately, I’m hoping there is some sort of light.

                          • Why? It always has been like this, they only talking that they listen and will improve, the unlucky part they talking about it since I started with D2 (New Light), for some vets probably even longer.

They’ll talk about the high celebrant tease at Hawkmoon in 2 weeks, give us a pin for not storming the Capitol Building, say we’re listening and <3 Cozmo

                                BS things don't get fixed on a dime 😂 If it effects Bungie's wallet they're on it like flies on... If it's things like Gambit that has had issues since the day it released like motes dropping in this map, being unable to collect them, it's, will get to it when we feel like it. Edit: [Quote]But what I do expect is to have most of our concerns to be addressed, especially since our community manager has had the brunt force of our feedback (constructive or not) for nearly over a month now.[/quote] Yeah, acknowledging that there's issues and actually doing something about it are 2 totally separate things that will happen. Sorry, not sorry. Bungie talks way too much just to sound good, but when it comes to their actions it clearly shows otherwise. Edit: 1. Also, it's pretty damn bad when the player base knows what a TWAB is all about way before it is even posted 🤦‍♂️

                                    DMG on Twitter 30 minutes ago. We have four TWABs between now and S13. Setting expectations for today: - Crucible and Gambit Vendor Updates, specifically the ways in which you earn reputation - Reissued rewards for Moon/Dreaming City - Tuning for Shatterdive/Fissures - Future goals for Stasis balance in PvP Separately, the team is in active discussions on PVP but won't have plans to talk about this week. We will share more in the future. Many thanks to all who've been sounding off with feedback. As always, keep it coming.
