Answer? No.
But the fact that you are even having to ask that question means that Bungie is losing the thread (again) of what kind of game Destiny is.
The overwhelming majority of the player base, plays this game as a LOOT game. In loot games, THE WHOLE POINT is that the game gets EASIER as you grow more powerful. That boost in power is the reward for all the grinding and build-crafting. It's not a bug...its a feature.
But Bungie doesn't have the resources to support a true end-game loot grind. So they try to cover it up by playing hide-and-seek with progression.....
...and try create and MMO-style end game (level up to gear up). But without the story elements OR loot system depth to support that kind of end game.
So the result is this HIGHLY repetitive end-game where 90% of the game becomes irrelevant...and you run around in a very small circle of activities that are progression relevant for most of the year. One that is more about randomly rewarding you tiny bits of progression, rather than powerful loot
So it is slowly burning out the player base.

Level up itself is a lie when enemies scale to match your power level even if you increase it beyond recommended PL Not to mention the loot being bland other than some legendary and exotic. I can't tell the difference between suros and omolon other than their casing or recently added origin trait compared to borderlands where every manufacturer has unique traits and perks

The result of pve and pvp sharing the same sandbox.

Spot on as usual when it comes to this aspect of the game.

Very good comment, kellygreen45.

This person does like to present opinions as facts.

[quote]This person does like to present opinions as facts.[/quote] You are not wrong, they are always very argumentative defending themselves and do not listen to anything that disputes what they’re saying. A persons opinion is a fact to them. There wouldn’t be any point in believing in that opinion if you weren’t convinced it was true. That being said, that person is a not worth listening to. Not because of their opinions, because they are a total arsehole

1. It’s rude to discuss someone in the third person. It’s called “triangulation” and it’s an immature way to handle conflict. 2. The OP asked for opinions, and I gave him mine, and the rationale behind why my opinion is what it is. 3. Some of you can’t tell the difference between an opinion expressed with confidence (because it’s a well-informed opinion) versus an opinion offered as fact. What you’re seeing is an informed opinion given confidently. Because it’s backed with knowledge and decades of experience. Have a nice day.

Bungie doesn't have resources? Didn't they just get bought for quite a lot of cash? Haven't they been hiring like crazy recently? Another great take bought to you by Kelly.

IMO It's not about the resources, it about management. Bungie as a developer is a mess and it literally shows through their development. They have been all over the place since Activision left that there is no consistency that the game will never have an identity, let alone a secure direction. -
True. Bungie cracked making world leading shooter mechanics, but still haven't really been able to identify what type of game Destiny is. I'd love to sit through some of their management meetings, they must be a mess of conflicting ideas & visions.
-
Because they refuse to play by the rules of loot games and keep thinking they can just do whatever they want. While they keep ignoring the negative feedback it keeps generating.

I troll Bungie a lot, but they should have their act together or at least close to it by now knowing it's been 30 years they have been in business. -
[quote]Bungie doesn't have resources? Didn't they just get bought for quite a lot of cash? Haven't they been hiring like crazy recently? Another great take bought to you by Kelly.[/quote] Yes they were bought out. If you sell your house do you then invest your own money you made from the sale of the house back into that house you don't own anymore?

What does that have to do with Sony buying Bungie?

[quote]What does that have to do with Sony buying Bungie?[/quote] You tell us, You asked the questions in your reply to Kelly in a way that implied bungie has extra resources due to being sold to Sony.

It's ok if you can't answer my question. But please just say that in the future, thanks, Chumley.

[quote]It's ok if you can't answer my question. But please just say that in the future, thanks, Chumley.[/quote] Ironical. I answered you question. Yes they were sold. Then asked you a question you failed to answer. You say what does that have to do the sale? You implied the sale indicates that they now have extra resources. No it doesn't and bungie being sold to Sony means nothing in the context of what Kelly said. Nice way to look foolish but a real thumbs up for the repeated foolish posts to really hammer the stupidity home.👍

Which is why I muted this person.

Edited by Saint: 5/12/2022 2:00:43 PMNo, because I kept showing you how wrong you are. You didn't like it and had a tantrum.
-
And how do you know it means that?

Very excellent way to put it!

Good post 👍

Bingo!
