A Route Forward- The Past. Please Read/Upvote if you agree!
Here’s my take on some things. Feel free to disagree.
I’ve spent a lot of time playing Destiny 2 as well as Destiny 1. Here are some key takeaways that I have having played both games a lot recently.
PvP:
-Destiny 1 maps were absolutely fantastic. Super creative, energetic. Forced you to play.
- Weapon balancing is off but it always is. I’d rather see old maps come back or some new ones. Maps add a lot of fun to pvp when done well. Why Alter of Flame and Eternity are used sooo heavily when the oldies exist is beyond me. Really just a bummer.
Strikes
-same issue as PvP. The new stuff just is not as good. Where are our Dreadnought strikes? The sunless cell, the shield brothers. These strikes are so creative and interesting! Fun to play. I miss Destiny being FUN TO PLAY. The Nessus strikes, battlegrounds… that awful Neomuna strike… come on guys. Either do better or give us some old ones that are fun!
Raids
-honestly, the raid game is pretty solid. Not gonna critique this too much.
The Tower
- I made a separate post about this. Before telling me that the wall tower is better, hear me out. It has been years since the red war ended. There is no sense in still being on the wall. Does not fit with the current story. Do you guys think we will return home after TFS? I sure hope so. Likely misplaced hope though.
Planets
- please just rid of EDZ and Nessus. Quit forcing players to play locations they hate. Let’s get Venus back. Let’s patrol the Dreadnought. Even the Plaguelands are more interesting than these current planets.
All in all, Destiny 2 has some good things going for it. However, the current content in the game needs help. Destiny 1 had content dialed in by Age of Triumph. We need this stuff back. If you’re getting ready to comment and defend the content in Destiny 2, ask yourself this- did you ever play D1 content? Do you actually enjoy this stuff more?
Would love to hear thoughts from all of you!

I agree with some and disagree on others, but overall I always feel like D1 is way better than D2 in content, seasons are to blame for this, they are a waste of time both for players and developers. One other thing about raids, the changes in old raids… some are interesting like the ones in vault of glass, some are terrible, like carrying the stupid light ball from person to person like in Crota, killing the feeling of the D1 raid that was more focused in killing and survival than in puzzles.

3 通の返信I actually like the EDZ Nessus they just lack purpose ATM rather than banish them to the vault, permanently I rather Bungie have a patrol location rotation, say every month to 2 months. Obviously they should have some locations locked like recent DLC locations (last 3 expansions from most recent release). And then scaling locations by size, for example they could have 1 XL location (EDZ, Nessus, Tangled Shore, Plaguelands), 2 L locations (Cosmodrome, Venus, Mars (Freehold), Luna, Io), 3 m (Throne World, Europa, Dreaming City, Neomuna, Mars (Hellas Basin)) and 1 s (Dreadnaught, Mercury, Titan, Leviathan) for a grand total of 10 locations at any given time.

3 通の返信EDZ and Nessus are two of the three best locations in D2. The moon is terrible. The moon in D1 was better. No fuzzy reskins of old enemies. Neomuna is godawful and only has one strike attached to it. Honestly, all locations should come back. They claimed the game was getting too big, but I have plenty of storage space.

I've never be forced to play the PvP since it has always been unenjoyable to me. But if you say this would make things better....sure. More maps are always good. [quote]Strikes -same issue as PvP.

But yeah, delete the battlegrounds and replace them with D1 or vaulted D2 strikes. [quote]Planets - please just rid of EDZ and Nessus. Quit forcing players to play locations they hate. Let’s get Venus back. Let’s patrol the Dreadnought. Even the Plaguelands are more interesting than these current planets.[/quote] You're the first and only person i've heard having an issue with EDZ and Nessus. Speak for yourself here. Overall this just sounds like you want to play destiny 1.

1 返信I'll get in on this. PvP: Not my main choice for PvP games, so I can't really opine. Sledgehammer Games got lazy and literally remade every original MW2 map for MWIII, and people ate it up, so I guess it's possible to please people with old stuff. Even if some of it was pretty terrible. You know, if Bungie wanted to remaster some more D1 maps. Strikes: I don't really see much difference in the strikes between D1 and D2, except D2 has all the Battlegrounds and stuff added to the playlist. I think going inside the Cabal tank and fighting Caitl's champion is every bit as interesting as Shield Brothers, even if it was already kind of done in Arms Dealer. Raids: I don't like having to use a meta to be efficient. One example is the sisters encounter in King's Fall. Is it rockets today or linears? I don't want every week to feel like my first run. The Tower: Why have run so far? Planets: Along with EDZ and Nessus, take the Moon and Cosmodrome. Remaster D1's Venus and Mars, D2's Mars, and give us 2 all new locations.

3 通の返信My thoughts on your post are that you're very accommodating, courteous, and well within reason. Perhaps if all feedback was given in this manner more changes for the positive would be made.

1 返信I agree and would add bring back all of the D1 strikes and D2 strikes that have been sunset. Forget about new pvp maps, just bring back the D1 maps!!! Throw a little touch up paint on them, good to go.

2 通の返信The maps for PvP are most definitely getting a little long in the tooth. There's quite a few of them but it does start to seem like we're playing the same ones, most likely because some of them have been in the game so long. I like Alter of Flame but Citadel after the way Disjunction was received was a bit of a head scratcher. Of the three ritual modes strikes seem to have gotten the most attention. All the strikes from at least D2 would be cool to have in the game though. It would be cool to have the old tower back if there's a reason to after final shape. Assuming we'll still be in the same place. If EDZ and Nessus go away hopefully they would be replaced by an equal amount of playspace. They are the two biggest destinations, or at least that's what it seems like. They're also all that really remains from the Red War and the beginning of D2. People might not mind as long as there were different places to go added to the game.
