Management and streamers mostly it seems.

Considering they put contest on dungeons and doing races for them... streamers. Destiny is and will never be a genuinely challenging game. They cheapen the experience of the shooter by introducing power deficits making your guns weaker and taking longer to kill making the experience a drag and certain perks basically useless mostly kill based ones like Rampage, but what has happened since then? People now just rely on ability spam to do most of the work for them instead of the weapons. The enemies aren't unique enough in attack patterns or abilities to truly make destiny an action shooter that has any depth its mostly just throw everything you have until the enemy infront of you is dead. Raising the health and damage doesn't suddenly make a dreg or a vandal or a hive knight suddenly an interesting enemy they will still do the same things that 90% of the enemies in this game do... Shoot, throw grenade and side dodge. Bungie has powercrept survivability and healing to account for the ridiculous power deficits that you are pretty much under some form of healing 70% of the time in combat(making healing almost mandatory in most high end content especially solo). Its only since about Lightfall that players are actually able to play more aggressively in GMs(because of resilience DR and healing effects) without having to rely on just sitting at the back and plinking because thats what happens when the game is "too difficult" it becomes a crap combat experience where people opt for cheeses and plinking than engaging with the game in good faith because why would they? As for boss health in dungeons specifically its getting too high to engage your average player that is just jumping into Destiny 2. Dungeons should be a sort of point between a strike and a raid, and by that I mean raid like mechanics with strike level difficulty meaning you should be able to reliably complete it in a reasonable amount of time with relatively nooby gear. They are not raids and do not need to scale to that level. The game needs more variation through modifiers that positively engage the player in combat that makes the flow change in fun ways and not boring ways like Counterfeit where you stop to shoot a bunch of ammo bricks or be cautious around them as if that is engaging you in a meaningful way other than slowing you down. The only interesting idea Bungie have had in the last year for the combat flow is the enemy affix banes and that is it.

Suits and streamers. I’m confident the devs know they put stuff in the game that doesn’t resonate with the average guardian.

The streamers that bungie flew over to bungie hq for input on the final shape before release

Since into the light with the everything has to be "more Challenging" attitude, they game has been this way and will be this way until there is a major shift at the top of the company. Just saying they are not listening to the average player, have not and will not be listening to us until the proverbial fat lady sings.

It always been streamers. :/ Almost every nerf to guns or skills it's because,and i quote: "Makes the game too easy"

I don’t even think they are listening to streamers. I think they are just doing what they want

Money

it's pretty obvious they only listen to their analytics teams this is now the C team 9-5'ers looking for short term bonuses and their next job, long term health of the IP is not their concern. Extracting maximum money from the 'consumer blob' is of utmost importance. they have no internal goal of 'entertain our players', just 'engagement'

They will listen to your wallet

They don't hear us..

Streamers.. One group that dictates and exposes glitches and suggests nerfs One group that hypes lackluster content and combos for different builds. They ( bungie ) have a huge PR campaign going, and people seemingly don't believe a billion dollar industry would never invest in that. P.S.. they also have a group on the forums.. Why wouldn't any company this big allocate resources on PR. ?

There were so many amazing games I ignored while feeding all my time into Destiny 2. I even ran 2 other accounts to enjoy the good stuff again. But I've been going back into other games the last few months and I'm enjoying it far more than what they've turned this game into. I miss what it used to be, even though that could have even been a lot better. It would take a major revamp for me to come back at this point, they seem to keep pushing even harder on what I didn't like.

brother you use blue guns, double primaries, no add clear perks, swords, and machine guns. you arent ever going to do damage to bosses or add clear in anything other than patrols not called neomuna.
