When you have your own company you can tell all your customers how awful all your shit is, see how that works out for you.

Video games used to be made by gamers for gamers. Now they're made by corporations for consumers.

They’re busy serving their Chinese overlords with the new shitty IP

Yeah... I know you can't really compare the two, but I never realized how much it was lacking until I started playing Warzone not long ago. I wasn't even tired of Destiny, but downloaded Warzone just because it was free and ended up getting hooked. It has been a much more rewarding experience than playing Destiny lately. The major thing that makes it more fun for me is the weapon leveling system and customization. There's seemingly an endless amount of customizable options you can choose from and can truly play how you want to play. I think Destiny definitely needs something similar to that right now. Also, when they nerf things, the nerf isn't overboard and the weapon is still a good choice (in the case of the recent aug nerf). It also doesn't burn you as much, because although you had to level the weapon up to unlock your modifications for it, it didn't take the insane amount of time to earn like Destiny's weapons do. There's definitely none of this in Warzone: "We're nerfing other weapon types into the ground because we want you to be using auto rifles more often and you need to experiment trying out other weapons instead of the ones you worked hours and hours to earn. Basically, we're forcing you how to play". Basically, I believe that Bungie only changes things if and when they see fit, not because of how it affects the game. My point to prove that theory are the lunas and not forgotten nerfs. They let those guns remain as-is for months and months while people complained about them, which obviously means they thought those guns were fine as they were. Then, one day they nerfed them into the ground to apparently make room for new weapons they wanted to release, wiping away hours of work people spent trying to get those weapons. They were then affected again by the overall hand cannon nerf, further pushing down the value of even getting them. I think Bungie cares less about what the community actually enjoys and more about how they can coerce people to keep grinding and playing their game. There may be some flaws in things I said, but they only reflect my personal opinion and experiences from playing both games.

They need to make it possible to achieve mac power in anyway the player decides to enjoy the destiny experience, i don’t do raids, or gm nightfalls because I don’t see them as fun, i like trials and banner plus pvp but those events are power based and can’t achieve max because I’m not doing the things that I don’t find enjoyable. I think if destiny makes it that we can anyway we want to play and what activities we choose to achieve it. I think that would make the game enjoyable from raiders to sweat gods all the way to casual players having a more rewarding experience

[quote]Where are these unique reward structures, unique to each activity?[/quote] How do you get masterwork materials? EP gear? What does the chalice do? [quote]Where is the encouragement to play multiple activities?[/quote] How do you get 1K voices? Anarchy? Recluse? [quote]Where are immersive feedback loops, getting new gear to get new, more, and better gear?[/quote]This one is self-explanatory. I honestly can't believe you asked it. Stop holding others accountable for the things you're telling yourself.

The encouragement to play each activity is that you 100% have to if you wanna level up fast. If you wanna level up slow then stick to PVE or PvP.

Marketing jargon. I have a little saying for it. "There is no disappointment without expectation". Simply put, either set them extremely low, or don't have any expectations at all.

Could it be that this was and is all old Activisions crap ideas that Bungie just had to turn out as it was already made. Who knows maybe that's why they parted ways. A conflicting difference in game direction. Maybe we might see the old Bungie back with the injection of Chinese money. Or it may just fall deeper down the bottomless well. Only time will tell.

I think that new ip is taking priority because of their new Chinese overlords.

Did anyone see the thread that was on here about 2 weeks ago, the one with the female developer jumping down people's throats on Reddit/Twitter?? After I saw that, it really changed my perspective on this game. I know we are all human and deserve to be treated fairly. But to take the ribbing to the extreme like OP did? We get suspended accounts and bans for what we say. I wonder how they handled that? The thread was quickly locked and tucked away.

It's the Sean Murray method. Just make outrageous claims about your product without checking with your team if any of them will be in the final product.

Modern day snake oil salesmen.
