It's wild how intentionally they are shitting all over their players and the game. Solo strikes after a decade of feedback asking for them, ok, finally. Infinite and targetable pinnacles, man, that new seasonal power system makes this almost feel like a necessity, good that it's here, but all of the parts surrounding it just sound even more annoying than what we currently have. Everything else, 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 Fair and equitable start for everyone! Except it's literally not, and won't do a -blam!- thing about actually keeping things even in the community. It's a kick in the balls to the engaged, and the casual won't even notice. Same idea with guardian ranks which were already a dogshit system. Oh everyone is going to be level 2 now? -blam!- that -blam!-. "Hey hey hey the portal like bro dude the portal it's like uh a clearer and easier to engage with system. We went ahead and buried everything in even more tabs and menus, require you to add modifiers to get loot that will be worth a damn, oh and the modifiers? Don't worry, we heard your feedback loud and clear, y'all hated all the new ones we've brought out lately so to fix that we made EVEN MORE DOGSHIT ONES so you can play the most unfun version of Destiny EVER! I know that sounds awesome but it gets even better, we wasted our time and Sony's money, creating modifiers for our streamers that almost no one will use, but if you do you can pretend to be your favorite streamer who barely even registers on the charts! Wait, people still stream this game right? Where's Datto... Hey we heard your feedback about not wanting to have to play the campaign over on multiple characters and we've decided, you're right. You should have to play it so many more times than just 3! In your new favorite menu, The Portal™, we've set up the campaign and new destination to be an endgame pursuit so you can just run it again and again and again and again and again, so you can get some shitty loot that we'll make even shittier in 6 months! No longer do you have to do it 3 times, now you're gonna have to do it ad infinitum! Huge hobby game, big grinders only, up top no-lifers! Oh you didn't like that one? Oh uh... Ok... Rare miss for us, ok ok ok we gotchu hold up. When you get tired of doing the campaign over and over, you can uhhh... Do... Umm.. oh -blam!- I almost forgot you guys hated sunsetting right, all those amazing seasonal playlists that had almost no one running them but clueless first timers who didn't know any better, they, THEY can be our "new content" and like um it'll feel like new content because you can smear SO MANY dogshit modifiers all over them so you can get bare minimum loot. Huh? Huh?! Sounds amazing right?! High 5 team, we really nailed it with this one. Money please 🥺🫱 we really need it because we -blam!- up our other projects so bad. Whoo Destiny 2 though, wheeeeooooo!"

Season Of Apathy

What I loved(?) was if you play the missions you spend 20 minutes setting it up and then 10 minutes to run it. And those mod's they were all excited about!? SERIOUSLY?!?! [spoiler]Don't be top gun on your FT in fact it will be better to suck else you maybe Glassed!!![/spoiler] The good news is there's always D1 to jump back into. Well till they decide to delete every last bit of that data too! Better news - found new games

I think part of what bothers me in their presentations, is that they are just poorly made presentations. Sure, I can appreciate the developers doing a deep dive discussion, but it comes off as if they are really trying to stretch time I don’t know if they’re trying to replicate the casual vibe that warframe dev streams have - but that is for a fully free to play game. But destiny is produced by AAA Studios, so I expect a certain level of polish and professionalism in their presentations. I get that there’s a certain level of distain for “corporate speak“. It’s just I personally would prefer something like a ViDoc that gets straight to the point. Like, I have seen update presentations from mod teams working on fan projects have which came off as more professional than what I have seen with “edge of fate“. ———————————————————————————————————— [b][u]Edit[/u][/b]: I mention this, is because whether we like it or not appearances matter. ([i]In case that wasn’t obvious enough with all the fashion posts in the game community.[/i]) And you want a presentation that gives the appearance of [u]competence[/u] and [u]confidence[/u]. And having Devs fumble their words, lose track of the topic, just sitting there in the quiet doing demonstrations, and apparently arriving in pajamas — does [b]not[/b] give an impression of confidence nor does it hype up the player base. Which is pretty critical at this point considering we are 13 days away from launch of the start of a new saga.

"I'm just stunned at this point." I'm not because this has been their motto since Destiny 2 released, but it's more so now than it ever has been. This all comes down to you and your decisions on how much you are willing to deal with, because this "Bungie" will never change. No, I don't play the game anymore, why would I when you just proved nothing has changed in the last few years when it comes to trying to manipulate the entire player base.

Hey, they wouldn't want to over deliver now.

So all the other expansions where they basically throw the entire story in your face for the reveal....suddenly they can't show anything because "spoilers".

I actually laughed out loud when they said “we listen to feedback and monitor the data.”

Watching the stream, it was a drinking game, the amount of times they mentioned "content creators" or "influencers" the game is only catered for them. Meaning massive grind for content videos and then guide videos can be created for efficient grind. The game is not for the average gamer these days, only playing games as a job is Bungie's new philosophy.

Showing us Wrathborne hunts in a “new” expansion 🤦🏼‍♂️

[quote]Why are we spending money on EoF?[/quote] Anyone continuing to spend money on this garbage game gets no sympathy.

Agreed lol „grind it til you hate it“ 😂🤣

This will probably, more likely than not, be the first expansion I will pass on since D1. SUNSETTING IS NEVER A GOOD THING. also no mention of pvp at all? What a -blam!- joke. let’s make the most mid pve looking content and then completely ignore pvp

To each their own. But I don't want an item that's only effective for six months. Maybe there will be a "workaround," but still, it's like a disadvantage in general if one doesn't have current weapons and gear. Not with what's coming in two weeks...

Bungie thinking grind is content really has killed the game

Activision Blizzard and every Diablo game disagrees.
