Seriously. There are EA levels of lunacy going on with this game. Complete disregard for nearly 4 years of feedback across multiple platforms. Either this guy is a complete tool who thinks he knows what we want better than we do, and simply cannot take ANY input from the people who buy the actual product. Or, someone behind the scenes has him by the nuts and is forcing him to make these INSANE decisions. (EDIT - I know I as a bit over zealous in th original post. But to clarify, this is NOT another "Fire Luke Smith!" post. After all the guy brought us VoG and TTK, so he isn't all bad. But I and many others feel that he just isn't fit for the big boy chair.) (EDIT #2 - THEY FRIGGED UP THE RAID! How do they manage to mess up the raid?! Its the crown Jewel of destiny, what the game has that truly makes it stand out. As you all probably know already the Prestige mode of the Leviathan has just been made available. With a higher recommended light level, a prerequisite of having beaten the normal raid and various tweeks upping complication it is the hardest end game activity in the game. And what do we get for completing the hardest endgame activity? TOKENS A SHADER AND AN EMBLEM! No new weapons, No new upgraded armor. Nothing! Its a cosmetic activity! You go through all that pain only to recieve either tokens for normal raid gear, or badly re skinned normal raid gear. Who's idea was this? The raid is something that is supposed to be highly challenging and equally rewarding. I feel like we are getting very close to having to say RIP Destiny, and it makes me sad.) ( EDIT #3 - Even with the Live team taking over and the launch of "Curse of Osiris", Destiny 2 is still struggling to keep its head above water. It now seems like Luke Smith is not to blame, but Bungie as a whole. Their complete disregard for their fan-base is digging them a hole that will be extremely tricky to crawl out of. Pile on the numerous lies, dupes and schemes they have pulled involving XP, loot, events and the Eververse and the future of this game is looking extremely grim. I believe it will take a miracle to save Destiny 2... The new DLC added almost nothing to the content of the game. Bringing to the table a few story missions, a handful of new items, and the worlds shortest raid. It feels like it should have been a free content update rather than a full blown DLC. Unsurprisingly "Curse of Osiris" added more content to the Eververse shop than anything else, probably THE most hated part of Destiny 2. But hey... At least we were brought the Be all, end all of public events. Sporting 3 minutes of activity, and the most rewarding loot drops we have ever seen! How will you use your two tokens and a blue?) (Edit #4 - It seems Bungie has finally seen the error of their ways. They are now attempting something that has never been tried in the history of gaming, they have resorted to listening to their fan-base to bring back much needed mechanics. I know, it sounds like a ludicrous idea, But hard times call for drastic measures. Bungie has released a roadmap detailing the games upcoming changes. You'd think that in the 4th year of the franchise we would be seeing new and exciting things to come. But you'd be wrong, in the 4th year of the franchise we are seeing a plan to implement previously existing and approved systems. Some that were in place since the launch of the first Destiny. We will also be seeing the removal of many systems that were never enjoyed or even requested. These changes will take nearly a year to implement and will most likely require the purchase of one or more DLCs. With any luck, by fall of 2018 we will be able to play the game we owned two years ago and finally be able to move forward with the franchise. But is it enough? The fanbase is already hemorrhaging bad, and even the dedicated Youtube and Twitch channels are dying off, just how many of us will be around to at last experience the true continuation of the first Destiny game?) (Edit #5 - Its so empty in here. Sadly, I truly believe that Destiny 2 has sealed its fate. I will always remember my first experience with Destiny, it was EASILY the most fun I've ever had on console. A high I've been chasing ever since, but it looks like Bungie may never deliver. People are leaving, streams are dead, updates have no hype... No one cares. This is the last update folks. It seems that the franchise has been destined to simply fade away by Bungie and Activision. I wish you all the best in your future games, and thank you for the upvotes. Stay strong, Guardians.)
