I mean, you guys don't have to completely remove Supremacy. Just make it so we can choose the Crucible mode we want to play.

I posted this in feedback, but it bears repeating. So, as always, this weeks TWAB has some good news, some bad news, and a bunch of fluff. And, as always, I'm going to focus on the bad first, then try to butter you back up with my appreciation of the good, and completely ignore the fluff. [b]Crucible Playlist Update[/b] These maps are not designed for 6v6, and the spawn system is awful. As much as I avoid PvP, you've made me even less interested in going in there now. Are you going to be: - Bringing in new or adjusting old maps to accommodate the extra 4 people per match? - Fix the spawn system to not be constantly dumping enemies behind us, while spawning us in front of already shooting opponents? The rest of this PvP stuff doesn't concern me. Although, for your first compliment of the day, good riddance to Supremacy. Oh and GG on making your ranked system, actually function like a ranked system. [b]Prestigious Affairs[/b] 400 Power increase. Are these items going to drop at 400? Or are we on another RNG treadmill for the next few weeks? [i]Curated weapon loadouts are based on weapon archetypes.[/i] I cannot believe you guys are moving forward with this trash after the flood of negative feedback you got when you brought it up months ago. It should be up to the player to create fun and interesting ways of interacting with the game. A forced loadout is NOT a fun way to be told how to play the game. If we choose to do so, great, that can be a lot of fun. Being forced to do so, is awful. I know you stated that mechanics will not be changed on prestige. I'm ok with that because I'm not a fan of the mechanics to begin with. But, will the enemies be receiving a power increase? Are they going to be bullet sponges like Levi Prestige? I sure as hell hope not. If we are having to use compromised loadouts, that just does not sound like a good time. Along the same lines, modifiers. Are you going to be adjusting them at all before they are implemented? I think it's funny that you called Prism a "fan favorite". The only reason anyone liked that was so they could wait and melt bosses with it (you know, feel powerful, not limited). In a raid, you aren't given that opportunity with the tight timing and mechanics. Thinking of Levi now, you state that these changes are not coming for Levi. But then at the end, you say the modified rewards will be coming to all prestige raid activities. Are we actually going to get 400 gear from Levi, with no modifications to its current difficulty and mechanics? Between these awful modifier and curated loadouts, and lack of drops in the the lairs (at least EoW, spire is much more rewarding) wouldn't it make more sense to run prestige Levi, delete character, burn through campaigns in a couple hours, re-equip old gear and jump back in prestige levi for multiple weekly chances at loot? Like... don't you see that when you make content not enjoyable, people will choose other methods of completing content? Think of your faction token farming woes. The event is not fun. People will grind it as fast as possible and get the f(_)ck out. Or they won't even play. People do not want to play in heavily moderated and directed ways. It's a game. We want to have fun. We want to feel powerful. We do NOT want to be limited. Also, will the exotic catalysts be anywhere near as rare as Strike catalysts? Finally, you say you're open to feedback on this. Well, you clearly didn't listen to our feedback the first time, so... If you are referring to the launch dates, fair enough. Personally I think with the amount of people that try for worlds first, they should be staggered in some fashion. One on tuesday, one on friday, something along those lines. I have no praise for you when it comes to these raid changes. Sorry guys, it's that bad. I can see no positive in it. [b]Costs and Collections[/b] Finally! Some good news! Almost everything in this section is great to hear. The one thing I'm concerned with is the power level issue. I understand the complications so feel I cannot complain too much. BUT. As with all things, when we get our characters to max, there is no point in getting lower powered gear. I can't tell you how disappointing it is getting exotic engrams at 375 when all my characters are 385, and all but 3 items in my inventory and vault are 385 as well. I do not want that situation again. When you get to cap, the game should recognize that in a more significant way than it currently does. Thank you for the clarification about deleting items. I'm off to delete a 100 or so things from my vault. Thank you for understanding that we don't want to grind for resources just to get items back from our collections. A small price makes sense so we don't break the economy, but anything more than what you get for dismantling will seem more and more taxing as time goes on. The rest of th[url=https://imgur.com/gallery/TrFMu]i[/url]s TWAB is fluff, and therefore shall be ignored. Thanks for the updates boys, keep them coming. More facts, less fluff.

Can we get any info on how are solo players going to be able to enjoy the Forsaken DLC? Are solo players going to feel like an important part of your community with Forsaken(just like in D1) or they are going to feel treated like crap, something that has been going on since D2 came out, specially after Warmind?

You're screwing over solo players yet again. Stop making us play the way you want. Locking progression behind the prestige raid lairs is pretty -blam!-ing lame. Why won't prestige Leviathan give 400 gear? They're gonna -blam!- up raids with stupid modifiers and locked loadouts. I can't wait for raids to become absolute AIDS with the annoying Prism modifier. Why does Bungie constantly change things for the worse? Stop catering to the 1% elitists, who want Destiny to be annoying, instead of fun.

So you are cutting off solo players completely???? Max light 400 only in raids!! Now this is bullshit.

I'm done! I have never been through a raid in d1 or d2 because it is a pain in the a** to get a team together and or set in orbit for an hour waiting for other people and then get kicked half way through for higher level players. That's fine! But now you're going to start locking stuff behind a raid! I will not buy in to part of a game. If that's going to be the trend I'll just stop playing right now !

So let me get this right , if I don’t raid I’m being locked out of reaching max lvl ? Bungie who the hell are you really listening to ? Because it’s certainly not ur player base Just when I was hoping September could be the turning point for destiny 2 , you pull this crap Sorry but if this is the way the September DLC Is going I won’t be spending my money on it . Give raiders exclusive weapons / gear. That’s fine but stopping players who have purchased ur DLC From reaching max lvl unless they raid is wrong

So your locking players out of loot if they dont do what you say like prestige raid that's just wrong .there should be other ways to get weapons at 400 lol not just the raid . You guys keep making bad choices .bungie should never lock players ok uth of content unless its DLC and stop people from leveling. But warmind practically stopped that with ep and the light level grind being so slow . No thanks ill due solstice but cant be bothered to run prestige raids .this is what happens when bungie listens to youtubers and twitch people and not the real fans and players base.

Faction Rally can kiss my backside - can't be bothered with endless grind of PubEvent/Lost Sector - all for some terrible ornaments and a catalyst for a weapon I never use Bring back the D1 format - with actual armour and weapons that allow a Guardian to change there style/ability/cooldown & removing Supremacy from Crucible ? Well Bungie, you gone and fvcked it up again I actually enjoy Supremacy (it creates movement around the map and opponents have to crawl out of their camps/ break away from the 8-legged race) Is there anyone at Bungie capable of common sense thinking?

How about changing faction rallies back to the way they were before where you could pick the faction you actually wanted instead of being forced into picking one faction for an entire account. Whoever thought up with this brilliant idea clearly did not take a look at the community as a whole. All it's done is taken away player choice which is the one thing you guys should be pushing towards is player choice and this is a step away from that. If you need ideas on how to fix faction rallies you can hit me up anytime.

You guys made this same mistake in D1, and then you finally got player progression right in Year 3. D2 literally should have been copy/paste of Year 3 D1. Stop catering to the elitist 1% that want the game to be annoying instead of fun.

Bungie this shit is -blam!-ing weak as hell. You need to realize that some players wont be able to do the prestige raid lairs because they are solo players. Please fix it to where everyone can get 400 not just the raiders.

This week at Bungie: Bungie doubles down on Fuking over the solo player.

I'm still not pre-ordering Forsaken.

What's the point of 400 this close to Forsaken ?

Seriously your locking catalysts and higher light level to raids only? Are you freaking kidding me. Do you guys seriously dont like learning from your mistakes huh? Thanks to you bungie, by releasing this crap game the way it is, and all the middle fingers you threw at your consumers, I lost most of my clan. And with these raid requirements in lfg I'll never be able to run these freaking lairs, thanks a bunch.
