So Bungie realized there are literally no players left and just NOW they are planning to make changes and "unvault campaigns and raids that never should have been vaulted in the first place"? Bit late, isn't it? Sorry if I'm being a bit sarcastic here but I'll believe it when I see it. Also they come across very smug, rehearsed and PR. Nothing…

This is why arguing numbers with someone who doesn't understand them is generally pointless. I don't know why I do it. And yet, I will try to educate you. I'm probably wasting my time. First, a few facts you need to learn to understand how the properly view and interpret the data. Steamcharts and other such player-count trackers are tracking Steam…

So, Bungie is now fixing # Destiny2 broken content. https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=asnrQ1UoBQM In any case, seems that someone when knock the leadership door and put the metrics (players) on their mouth. No players = no revenue. To me, this looks like a test to see if # Destiny3 would be a reality, or if # Marathon will take all resources. #…

Your leadership has been awful, there's a reason why after going independent from Microsoft you doubled down on shitty mtx practices, your studio has made a lot of terrible mistakes, it now seems like you lied in court because you said the vaulted destiny 2 content couldn't be returned (why you ever thought REMOVING CONTENT PEOPLE PAID FOR FROM…

Nah it's more them framing it like they are listening to the community when for the past 8 years we've been asking to get this content back culminating in around 2022 when they said it'll never come back since it would have to be completely remade. And now, after theyve ended development and marathon ended up as a flop it is suddenly possible?…

It’s getting a bit off topic but I just don’t understand why people think horizontal is any different from vertical. Farm/grind/clear/juml through hoops to get a gear piece to make the content you want to do easier <- this is both systems But horizontal comes with the impression that you better hold on to that old gear because it might be relevant…

How predictable after thinking they were just gonna move on and now need to fall back to what everyone wanted in the first place Will it be like old Destiny with all the bullshit or like new Destiny after it was abandoned “here’s all those changes y’all wanted for years” They are just lucky they didn’t do this Marathon shit with Destiny or they’d…
-
It’s honestly still hard. Because there’s the story they put in your face. Then there’s the lore tab that you have to read to get the rest of the story. Even with the campaigns restored, you really can’t get the whole story without reading a ton. For story and lore I would recommend getting what you can from the game and campaigns. And then…

You could tell me this is a satire/troll post and I would absolutely believe it. All the same shit they’ve been saying for 10+ years. Why would I ever believe them again? I played and loved Destiny for a long time but the game really sucked toward the end. It was always two steps forward multiple steps back. Fixing issues they created and then…

This looks like the most insincere video ever. I'm not saying they are insincere but damn this video does a great job making it look like it. It is so scripted, the dude on the right is so obviously reading a PR script from the teleprompter it hurt my teeth from cringing. it's as if he doesn't believe a word he is saying... Tip to the team: If you…

We’re so fucking back. Destiny 2 was dead, end of life update took place in June and it was supposed to be done. The amount of noise that was made to Sony since then has affected them. Vaulted content coming back isn’t the main thing to be hyped about. While fun and nostalgic, it’s more so that development is back on for Destiny. Who knows for the…
-
This is fantastic news for Destiny fans. Knowing that the Destiny universe lives on is the best news we could get All the effort put in to make Sony reverse the decision to just mercilessly kill the game finally paid off. I can't remember something like this ever happening before with another game I know people on this sub have strong opinions…

I want warframe to do good, but doing a proper raid is hard, and I’m not entirely sure Warframe could reach the same highs as Destiny raids. Destiny raids require a level of complexity that tend to really annoy people who are allergic to team work. My understanding is that most of Warframe is solo-able and it doesn’t really force teamwork and…

I'm guessing $1000 is an exaggeration but are you talking about all the DLCs from Forsaken and onwards? Or are you including the vaulted stuff as well? I see that all 9 DLCs you can get right now would cost $185 in total which I get is no small fee but on steam you can buy them all for half the price in a bundle which I think is a pretty good deal.
-
Instead of vertical progression where new content means greatly improving gear, gaining more levels and abilities, making previous content not worth doing. Horizontal progression means new content and new gear, but isn't supposed to improve your character drastically, you won't level up or gain new abilities, thus making all content still worth it.
-
What? They said it’s a decent first step. And then I commented on how everyone here is miserable. The overwhelming majority of you are just blindly hating. Don’t pull this mental gymnastics bullshit. My initial comment was flat out calling out people like you for being angry despite the promises made. You’re projecting so fucking hard. lol.
-
Looped seasons is exactly the concept Im talking about. Basically play through the whole story on a cycle, but keep DLCs up to player choice for what they want to grind/play with. This way they can play at their own pace if they want, or play along with the rest of the player base through the story if thats their preference.
-
All I want is a neat menu with all the raids and the option to use meta loadouts from that time period, so I can boot into one with my friends and play that content. I dont have the time to grind out power level and all the gear every update and my fondness memory of D2 was making it through the Leviathan with the boys.
-
not even if you go to the post it basically says that "marathon didnt hit the market by the genre limitations" (aka its an extraction shooter) "so we are going to expand meaningful ways to engage with the game how you want" they are basically saying they will add more pve stuff to it and maybe even make major changes.
-
Did people just post a comment without watching the video? They said they are bringing all content available back to destiny then straight up said they will make marathon destinesque so desinty players come play it. Nothing new for Destiny players here. The whole video could've been two words. Damage Control.
-
Okay? Good luck to you and organizim then cause it’s happening to this “revival” regardless of what you say. There’s literally no other reason why Bungie bounced back on their “no more updates” spiel if it wasn’t for the money. Be honest, we’re ALL side-eyeing Marathon and how it did.
-
While cool this isnt the first time Bungie has done this. So say they do make the right fixes, how long before bungie screws up again? I want bungie to succeed but unless I see a major shift in their company culture I cant see us not being right back here a year or two from now.
