Being 100% honest with you? Bungie is in a "Comfort Zone". While many people will see the game as a downgrade and avoid it, they have the guaranteed public wich will go as far as buying shit if Bungie decides to pack it and sell. Worse, these people refuse to see that the game is a downgrade and attack anyone that disagrees with them.

Anything that was fun was taken away. Like Thorn day one Thorn was just beast and should have had a whole class of burn weapons made from it.

They've made d2 just so sloooooowww... Everything about the game looks good but the cool downs on everything from supers and grenades to reloading.. BUT THE MAIN SHIT IS 2 -blam!-ING PRIMARY WEAPONS IS A LOAD OF DONKEY CRAP.. I only use the kinetic when I have no ammo left. Also why do I keep running out of ammo in this game. It's just so stupid how much has changed yet stayed the same. 1 more thing that Annoys the shit outta me is when shoulder barging or striking someone with the shield or the flaming hammer seems to do alot more damage to me than the opponent.

😂 I really don't think you know what core mechanics are. 😂 In large, the "core" mechanics are there, and improved in my opinion. Take the weapon system for example. While a lot of people enjoyed the original Destiny weapon layout, it was very lacking. What I feel, people liked about it was the fact that you could dish out a lot of damage with a rocket launcher and a sniper. Was it fact though? Maybe. The new weapon system allows for great verity on the battlefield. Allow me to explain. In the original Destiny you had a primary, a special, and a heavy. Ok, we all are aware of this I know, but look at the layout. To make things simple, we will use vanilla Destiny. Your primary was great for all around, but you had Auto rifles, pulse rifles, scout rifles, and hand cannons. The only weapons that were truly great all around were pulse rifles and auto rifles. Bungie for some reason hated the fact that more people like auto rifles, and in turn nerfed them into the ground. So pulse rifles were the go to gun for a wide range of combat. Now you have your special, in which are elemental. You have your shotgun, fusion rifle, and a sniper. The thing with these weapons are, they are highly situational. You have to be right on top of something with a shotgun to kill it. Snipers aren't much better, where you have to be nearly out of combat for it to be really viable. Not really, but yea. Fusion rifles, the new space shotgun! Great at all ranges but a pain to shoot! I think I made my point with that last one. The bigger point though, is that all these weapons are VERY situational. Just agree for now... 😜 Now into heavy! Rocket launchers and machine guns, the other back up weapon. Like why? You can choose from insta mash or gradual disintegration! Gotta take on a boss? Then use Gjallarhorn! It didn't matter what it was, Gjallarhorn could **** it up. It was almost pointless to chose anything else. What was the point? Oh right! Another back up because the special weapons are highly situational. So your ideal build became pulse rifle, fusion rifle, Gjallarhorn. That's partly what Bungie had done. If it was going to be a really long range battle, which very few were or needed to be. You would swap out your fusion for a sniper. If you were going to be in the frey a lot or a Titan in crucible, then you used a shotgun. But now! All those primary types have purpose! Now your battle superiority can span close range to mid range, mid range to long range, or even be any mixture of what ever you desire. You have a kinetic weapon to deal with the common folk, and an energy weapon to deal with those pesky shields in any shape and flavor you like! Lastly, you now have ALL situational weapons in the last slot. Need to deal with baddies with a lot of health close up, use a shot gun! What about far away, use a sniper! What about dealing with the occasional horde, use a grenade launcher or rocket launcher! So, do you get it now? Why it had to change? I'm sure you still may not like it, but everything is better for it. Battle is so much funner now! Is funner a word? It is now! That my friend is a core mechanic, whether you get loot from a specific game mode is not. Core mechanics change the entire dynamic of the game. Bungie can easily add the option for players to select game modes or give players very special loot. My goal here was to learn people some stuff... 😂 I hope I was successful in that. I wanted to give people a perspective that was different then what they may have been accustom to, and explain the difference in mechanics and how they effect us as players. Sure, I have my bias as do you, but if we can identify that and come to understand that we are all different and like different things. We, perhaps, can come to some middle ground. Enjoy! 😁

Look at all the people that give their “reasoning” against your points. I honestly wonder if they’re children(I hope) or just... [i]special[/i].

Veteran here. Not complaining...

People are complaining because people like to complain. End of story. This game could be hand picked from the gods and people would still find something to whine about. The majority of us are enjoying it for what it is, not nitpicking every fine detail and demanding a game that is tailored to our needs.

I'm a beta player and the only thing I have against this game so far is the flawless carries. Yes I know there is no way to prevent it but it still grinds my gears as a filthy casual pvper that I get tromped every other match by a group of 2-3 flawless guys carrying one scrub.

I completely agree with you. There's [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPC9k5Bxnxc]this video[/url] I just saw yesterday that really nails it perfectly. Yes, it's almost 55 minutes but believe me, it's time well spent.

it's really annoying. also, what's this half measure matchmaking shit? this guided games thing is so stupid, just open up the matchmaking fully. why does it have to be 2 clan members I have to match with? it's so assinine to me. just make it matchmaking like any regular strike
