Going down? Sure. It's in the last year of it's life span. lol
Is it anywhere close to being dead? Not really. SRL will come back and the player base will jump up again. That'll be followed by a spring update that will bring players back as well.
I'm not too worried and there's no game out there like Destiny so I'll keep playing as long as its fun for me.

No I mean way down. Further than it should go. The playerbase has dropped drastically. Not only that, but I doubt srl will bring many back considering the bad reception it had the first time. Maybe the spring update will do something, but if its like the april update its not going to be enough to bring people who quit back for very long.
-
Bad reception? This community LOVED SRL...Not sure what bad reception you saw, but everything I've seen was people asking for it to remain in the game. Do you have any sources that show this drastic drop? I mean I'm still not worried about it either way. Game's not dead and I still enjoy. Couldn't care less about anyone else to be completely honest. lol
-
No srl was horrible.
-
Wasn't my cup of tea either. Played like 3 games. There's just been a LOT of people on here recently saying how great it was and that it's the only reason they'll come back to Destiny.
-
Well the twitch numbers, which was a huge thing for destiny have dropped drastically since release, im pretty sure its not even top 10 on any console anymore. As for srl, I used to frequent these forums, and when srl was out I saw so many posts on how bad the physics or map selection were for srl, and tons of comments agreeing with them.

Well, people have been whining about it to come back and then there's been plenty of people saying they're quitting and will come back when SRL is here. I'm sure there were those that hated it when it was out. These people flip like pancakes. As for twitch numbers, there's plenty that can effect that, like the streamers not playing it, which is what I have been seeing. It certainly isn't in the spotlight as much as it used to be, but it's no dead. It's just winding down. It's the last year of the game. Then D2 will sell like wildfire.
-
Im not doubting that destiny 2 will sell, but its definitely not going to sell nearly as much as 1 did due to the initial false advertising 1 had, and the fact that 1 got poor reception from a lot of people, including the majority of big reviewers. Who knows though, maybe bungie will pull off something unexpected and great with 2. Respawn managed to do it, maybe bungie can too.
-
I'd be willing to put a lot of money on D2 outselling Destiny.
-
So many people were dissapointed in vanilla i dont think they will fool as many people a second time but they will retain their dedicated base. I still rememeber the first year of #destiny. Its really tame now considering only the dedicated are the ones left
-
Really? Even if you like the game thats just unrealistic. With the burn a ton of people had from the release, to the review scores, to just the amount of people who have quit, theres no way its going to sell as much. To be completely honest, the main reason destiny sold so much was just the hype of the advertising (which had false things in it) and the fact that it was bungie.
-
We'll see. It'll outsell it. Watch.
-
You haven't given me a reason why it might do that though. Pretty much all the evidence we have points to it not selling as much. Of course anything can happen, but its not likely that d2 will outsell d1

1. It's a game being built for the new consoles. It'll be beautiful. 2. It's a chance for them to right some wrongs from Destiny. I highly doubt they ignore those things. 3. Never underestimate consumerism. People are dumb. They'll see its pretty and has crazy vault space or something and they'll be enticed. It's really that easy for some people. 4. It's marketing campaign will likely be along the lines of CoD or BF. It'll be big. I don't have stats to tell you it'll sell just like you don't have anything pointing to it now. I just have a feeling and faith in the company. I think it's going to be a very good game, and I think it'll outsell D1. Easily.

While 3 and 4 are likely true, the 1st reason really doesnt mean much because other franchises with more well received games will be doing the same thing, and while 2 will happen for some, for many others there is probably no going back to destiny unless some things are drastically changed. Im one of those people. If they learned how to make an actual good loot system and made an actual good story (which they have been on the right track for), and also fix the multitude of server issues and balancing, id be happy to come back.
