I’ve seen the final shape… it’s… the shape of the recycling bin icon

reupping since halo is so piss poor these days. just miss bungie lore tbh

Unfortunately destiny 2 is in the worst state it’s been maybe ever.

  • They soft sunset almost every activity by adding ilvls to gear, but only gear from the new expansion, so the entire ecosystem of doing old content has completely collapsed. There’s ten raids and only one of them gives you something worth using
  • They reintroduced legendary shards as “unstable cores” which reset every six months and then almost immediately rolled it back
  • They backtracked on crafting. Very little is craftable anymore.
  • Nobody I know is playing destiny anymore. I used to run a very active destiny clan! Steam CCU is down to 10k averages

In their quest to turn Destiny 2 into the perfect temporary treadmill, Bungie has managed to alienate literally everyone, even the die hards like me who stuck through some of the worst periods in the game’s history.

Plainly put, their investment/rewards design is worst-in-class. Sandbox and narrative is still killing it, but what’s the point of playing a game that so nakedly disrespects the time you invest in it? Literally every MMO on the planet, even the bad ones, handles this shit better

there’s both too much (loot grinding for loot i can’t keep up with) and too little (no more weekly story episodes i’d always log in for) in the show now, i’m very much waiting for a series of hammers to fall before i dip in again (and fucks alive do i have so many other things to do and play)

i’d have rather they spun final shape out for another year than do what they did instead
