Please people, 1v2 or 1vs multiple is not going to get fixed by adjusting the TTK. Adjusting the ttk is only going to promote camping. You will die from two bullets to the head and won't see where they came from. In the games current state, a person that is sitting and waiting will get the first shot off but because of the current TTK, one has a better chance of escaping or outgunning that person. The best alternative to this, is to add two tactical grenades, like flashbangs or smoke grenades, to the Guardians loadout. Anything that creates a diversion or affects opponents in non lethal ways will assist in this type of engagements. Just don't let the affect last too long. It will still allow hunters and warlocks to dodge and Titans can deploy their shields to avoid death.

Yes. A step in the right direction. But, more steps remain.

The best part about it is people know the direction of the game. If they aren't happy they can finally move on.

They addressed some concerns, and are making changes which is far better than the radio silence experienced up until this point. For me though I see no explanation as to how they are going to fulfill the power fantasy that kept D1 going strong for so long. As I said knowing changes are coming and the direction they're heading is a much better approach but I think this game has far more fundamental issues yet to be acknowledged.

"Pay to play that's the Bungie way" - Humpledine Cumbersnatch

Its a step in the right direction, although 3oC really. Why? Exotics drop from public events, seriously every scrub gets exotic anyways. Why increase exotics, how about decrease exotic drop chance by like 85%.

Destiny 2 is $26 on Amazon. And thats still $20 too much.

What does this blog they used to replace a live stream have in common with this article written in October? https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2017/10/27/destiny-2-is-getting-some-much-needed-changes-and-endgame-fixes/#6447b06e67a1 Since so many of you are voluntarily bending over without Vaseline lulz

Just read the blog post and it was not a step in the right direction; Luke Smith, Chris Barrett, and the Senior Management of Bungie SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!!!! Nothing in the updates addressed any issues from the community. What they did was pull some CRAP out of the closet they have been working on as an intended release on some future date and when the SHTF they quickly pushed it out like they have been "listening", BS!!!! Here is one thing Luke Smith could have directed his staff to do, "Hey everyone, crap has hit the fan and our community is leaving in droves. Effective immediately in PVP lets add the option for players to choose which game type they want to play, and lets add 6 v 6 back in. And Oh.... just to knock the ball out of the park lets add 12 v 12 in with faster Super Recharges on all game variants in PVP. And.... to hit another homer with the community lets put the weapon system back to D1. Primarys with and without Elemental Damage, move Sniper's back to Secondary's and the Rocket Launchers are SH*T, lets fix them as well. While I am at it make the Developers get rid of the tokens, the community HATES them. By the way the D2 Exotic's are crap lets fix them too." Did Luke direct any of the above, NOT! As a a Veteran Player who has been a consumer of Bungie games for the past 16 Years I am more than disappointed in the crap you have been promoting, developing and not listening to your real customers and the TONS of failures, lies and deceit. I will NOT buy another Bungie game! I am positive I am not the only one. I hope your bottom line will feel the salt! Only when your pay checks are effected (and I HOPE they are hit HARD) maybe, just maybe you will really listen to your consumer base. I am SOOO Happy IGN has told the ENTIRE World not to buy the Expansion! Future Edit: To ANY BDF (Bungie Defense Force) Member who decides to sling some mud, go right ahead my little snowflakes...... Make it snow.

I just love the multitude of comments where people are taking this new, rather short and bullet point info, and just continuing their hate focused crusade. If anyone needed any more evidence about how so many of the posters here are nothing but toxic, well... Here you go. The vendor changes are an extremely welcome respite for me, and the Masterwork quasi-random roll perks is something I think can be expanded on in the future if it does well. Sandbox buffs are still something that need to happen for a few weapon types, but I'll take what I can get and enjoy it! Unlike some people who will soon flock to calling me a Bungie fanboy/apologist, simply for being able to enjoy a game they apparently can't. >.> Edit: And let the hate flowww

Turn on Too and iron banner on d1 so we can play a real game.

I grind IB to get the full set and in season 2 we will be able to buy armor?

It is really sad to listen the podcast and read the blog entry. I see absolutely nothing that will make me want to return to Destiny. I really hoped Bungie will learn their mistakes so wecould find a reason to return. But it didn't happen. Blog entry proofs one thing : Luke Smith - Mark have absolutely no idea what community wants - needs. Destiny desperately needs to replace all these dudes that are so out of touch with their player base's needs. Below is a quote from Luke Smith's journalism days , we can see how lasyness and greed changed his opinions. [quote] “Polarizes fans?” you ask. “How so?” Simply put, Halo: Combat Evolved was a better designed, balanced, and tuned multiplayer experience than its sequel. The mass appeal of Halo 2 meant the game had to be designed with a little more flexibility for the consumer’s experience. After all, Bungie knew that a vast array of people would be buying the game, and it recognized the need to satisfy the full spectrum of their interest. That flexibility still offered solid gameplay, but also resulted in some serious changes to the fundamental design of Halo’s multiplayer experience. For a legion of Halo: CE fans that expected Halo 2 to be the second coming, Halo 2 was not. No one can argue that Bungie doesn’t make a good game engine, but some design choices in Halo 2 left much to be desired. It’ll be interesting to see how things change in its next title..[/quote]

So basically nothing? Just an easier way to acquire the gear that is in game and another Ornament system. We didn't stop playing because we couldn't get the gear, we stopped playing BECAUSE the gear that we could get was BORING. PvE will still be boring. PvP will still be boring. I guess Bungo did it again...
