I wrote this about EoF on another thread in regards the to number of times Bungie has -blam!--d up over the years. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/265055410/0/0/1 [quote]The unmitigated cluster--blam!- that is EoF looms on the horizon like the crowning 💩 of all Bungie’s bungles. [u][b]EoF[/b][/u] :- IMHO the only good in the EoF release was the story and the armor changes. I hate Kepler, it’s a -blam!--ing rabbit warren with an uninspired palette and feels like a poor Destiny clone destination. I could go on about the Portal, but why bother. Suffice to say if you could point at one thing that ruins this game, it’s the Portaloo. Older raids and dungeons being left abandoned, (and dungeon lairs in the Portal are NOT the answer.)[/quote] I also wrote this post on the 10th July about Edge of Fate. I love being right, but hate that I was proved right in this instance. 😔 [quote]This is going to be a 💩show. Now as many people, who consistently defend Bungie and D2’s current trajectory, will tell you these numbers aren’t accurate, because of x, y and z. They are the only numbers we have for comparison. However they will be the most accurate they can be at 5:01pm UTC on Tuesday 15th July. [b][u]External Sights Emblem for preordering EoF.[/u][/b] 394629 https://emblem.report/3992231371 [b][u]Paracausal Path Emblem for preordering TFS.[/u][/b] https://emblem.report/54004492 1690278 So Edge of Fate has less than a quarter of the preorders that TFS had, and TFS was considered a failure. 394629/ 1690278 = 0.233 x 100 = [b]23.3%.[/b] Just so that’s -blam!--ing clear. 5 days out from the launch of their new 6 year saga, Bungie has managed to convince less than a quarter of those it convinced into preordering TFS, to preorder EoF. I wonder why that is?🤔🙃 I have a list. World Tiers Soft sunsetting of my weapons Seasonal sunsetting Bonus damage/resistance on [b]new[/b] gear Exotics being left behind it the new tier system Exotics being left behind in terms of whether they get the [b]new[/b] seasonal bonus or not. Increased grind for grind sakes, it’s been calculated at 90+ hours of targeted grind just to get Tier 5 gear to drop The Portal being too convoluted and text heavy for the sake of apparent versatility. Just make preset difficulties that we can swap out some modifiers. Or better yet, get rid of haste, oscillation and the other modifier that creates exploding ammo and engram drops and just add more Banes/ Champs to preset difficulties. The resetting to 10 Light Level, essentially locking us out from all the endgame content we have [b]already[/b] purchased, forcing us to engage with this new system even if we don’t buy the “DLC”. In my opinion this is the Diablo4-ification of the game. And I despise it. Destiny is not a true MMO, so why is Tyson Green and the rest of the management so enamoured in turning it into one? [/quote]
