this game feels like bungie is purposely pushing players away.
This version of destiny 2 is not on the right path. The game become to different from what made it really fun.
The forsaken era through witchqueen era was fun.
This new lightfall era and final shape era just isn't it.
The developers aren't gaining any new players or keeping old ones with these bad game design changes they've made.

2 отв.What is defined as the “right path”?

1 ответThey are keeping the hardcore players happy. Because thats all they really need to make enough money and keep this game barely a float. So if you ain’t hardcore and don’t enjoy the game try another game. Many of us have.

That's why final shape is overated too many puzzles people just want to shoot aliens. The whole final shape campaign is annoying puzzles in every mission. Modifiers are another extremely annoying feature. Oscillation to name one.

7 отв.The developers are doing the opposite of what the community is screaming. The fact is that like 75% of the community will never recommend this game to new players because of how they develop things.

Are you surprised? They moved the bulk of their workforce onto other projects and let the game become stagnant, and only diverted people back on to Destiny when it all started crashing around their ears. Then they ended up laying off a huge chunk of their people, leaving only the dregs to wheel around the withered corpse that is this game. They haven't improved on anything, least of all the writing, yet they keep offering less content for the same, or higher, price. The game isn't worth playing anymore. You should just move on like the majority of us have.

Or they are managed the way Concord was. Just lots of bad ideas, that pass for good ideas because of who has them. Maybe.

5 отв.You are absolutely correct. The game is in a death spiral with so many bad desion decisions and recycling of content. The convoluted tonic system design added to player confusion and frustration. The problems began with Lightfall. Enemy resilence was much too high. Even today it is still too great for a patrol area. Now the game is becoming too difficult and complex as if it is some type of RPG instead of a looter/shooter. Recently I skipped playing for a couple days. This was very unusual because I have played nearly every day since Y1 of D1, even from a hotel room during a long-distance move. I am nearly at the point where I am ready to say that it has been a fun 10 years, but it is time to say goodbye.

Agree 100%. I think saying it is repeat of dozens of other posts and may be beating a dead horse. I think the more players speak up the better.

1 ответCompletely agree! Every aspect of this game feels terrible right now. Activities aren’t rewarding enough, when the rewards even bother to drop (trials engrams, pinnacles not dropping or dropping dupes, pathfinder bugs). Lobby balancing is the worst it’s ever been. Melee and bullet whiffs are rampant. Tonics are dogshit. Seasonal content is boring as hell. Audio issues in game are everywhere. RNG seems heavily weighted for worse perks. Artifact sucks this season. They’re literally burning this pile of -blam!- to the ground.

1 ответI’ve been playing since October 2014. I stopped playing in April this year. There is absolutely nothing that Bungie could do at this point to make me come back. I never liked Destiny 2, but for some stupid reason, I forced myself through the first DLC’s and then that ridiculous season model. Just useless exotic after useless exotic, and re-skin guns and maps ran this way then that way. Basically, completely totally recycled content. Meanwhile, they weren’t doing any of this garbage in D1 before Eververse was a thing. Total greed. Completely sold out. They’re not just everything I hate about the gaming industry, they’re everything I hate about what’s going on in the world right now. I can’t see my avatar right now, but I’m pretty sure I’ve been saying it since 2016 and I stand by it obviously way more than I did then.

Изменено (Hyperstorm76): 10/22/2024 3:27:53 AMHere's the thing: the current material has probably been in development since before Lightfall's release (definitely before TFS) so we won't see course correction until the next season/episode. Probably later than that. Every form of long running media has its slumps and this is D2's, but there must be something we like about it if we are still playing it and taking about its future installments.

A Forum post is going to do well if it is BOLD, VAGUE, and NEGATIVE. Great work.

10 отв.There’s a lot of people playing lately. I don’t think they care about players that constantly complain about the game. They’ll never be pleased and always have an issue.
-
I gotta say this. It does not mean a PvP match is a nail biter just because everyone is standing around going crazy at the lack of shot registration. Also, doing that while the titans are swan punching all over the place does give the matches an eerie ballet like quality that it hasn't had since synchronized sliding was at its peak.

I dont know when bungie last made a game that was designed for a player to play. If you watch some of the old videos of staff in the early days, they are talking about design of the universe etc and nothing about how amazing the experience (gameplay) was going to be. Sadly they have been a bunch of navel gazers since around day 1 (not all but when you listen to senior people at the game yes) They made this game because for the developers it was exciting and fun to make it. The game always had potential bc the gunplay was fun, the story used to be somewhat interesting/mysterious and the people in the background made a good game despite the head honchos desire to sell the company/just make a beautiful world…

Exactly the reason why I didn’t buy this dlc

1 ответwhen new players are constantly told "Shut up Meg, Get good, or you're an entitled Karen" by most of the top 1% of players.

1 ответИзменено (TarloDenn): 10/20/2024 11:33:52 PMIf yer new, the game is a mess. It has convoluted systems that only reward long time players & the intro is just awful. It barely skims what can be done with builds & weapon/ability synergy. And TBF, I don't know how they fix this at this point. You're either in for the long haul or jus flirt with the free play. If you have friends who can guide you, you have a chance. If you jus stumble into the game alone, you're binned. It's a pity but after 10 years, could I jus walk into Warframe or WoW and have a clue? Nope. The game has bolted down to the hardcore. And I'm one of them. There is no way I could recommend this game to anyone at this point. It's too far gone. Ps Witch Queen was the peak. The story & especially Savathun was the high water mark. Sav was the best villain we ever faced. And the voice actor was foookin boss.. she jus owned that character.. I still go back jus to hear it.. Each & every bullet.. I keep & count them all.. Up there with Crotas speech in TTK..

Some developers really needed a reminder that "the rule of cool" is one of the most crucial things that give life to videogames, not the rule of "please give us money and hope we stick to our promises"
-
3 отв.We're in the Streamer Expansion era.
-
7 отв.They are looking for a NEW audience. This convoluted mess and focus on builds is all to attract players that aren't *destiny* players.
-
I enjoy criticizing bungie as much as the next guy but this post is extremely vague and useless.
-
I’ve kinda felt the same way. No way in hell are they going to get me play one of their get rich quick new games, especially if they’re “mOdErN”
-
I think it's just ego at this point, I don't think Bungie is doing anything with the express purpose of losing players. I believe that they think that whatever it is they are doing is [i]too big to fail[/i], they think that whatever they do will be successful because of the dedicated playerbase that they once had.

2 отв.D2 is literally Bungie's only source of income. What possible reason could they have for actively tanking their only source of income ?
