ALL HAIL CHRISTOPHER BARRETT, SAVIOUR OF DESTINY 2
*AND HIS TEAM
So everyone remember Chris? That emo dude with nice shoes from House of Wolves and then Rise of Iron. Well, basically, in my opinion, he was one of the developers that started to make D1 a better game. House of Wolves was (again in my opinion) the start of the turning point for the fundamental changes D1 would go through, for the better. Sir Barrett blesses us once again. All hail the king.
New systems and rewards to give our most engaged players additional, optional pursuits.
Better incentives for players who complete challenging Prestige activities.
Better rewards and replay value for strikes, adventures, and Lost Sectors.
Private matches for the competitive community (we are targeting early 2018).
Crucible tuning like adjusted Supremacy scoring and better spawning rules.
Better incentives for completing Crucible matches (and penalties for quitting competitive games).
Continued improvements to Iron Banner and Faction Rallies, including uniqueness of rewards.
Changes to make the mod economy more interesting and impactful.
Ongoing improvements to Exotics, including adjustments to reduce instances of duplication.
New ways to spend surplus currency and materials (looking at you Legendary Shards).
An emote interface that allows players to equip Salty, Spicy Ramen, Six Shooter, and Flip Out all at the same time.
There's more we're working on. We'll talk again soon.

If you could reduce the exotic drop rate of engrams and put some armour perks as well please

2 RepliesThe best thing about HoW is how all gear was allowed to be relevant due to an 'end game' drop in Etheric Light, that gave everyone a reason to keep playing past the end of the content to level up all their stuff. I just wish they never scrapped that system a few months later for the new light level system in TTK, that we still have now, I can't stand it. And obviously RoI was great when it started out. If Chris had a major role in the direction of these updates (his title suggests he did) then I'd be more than happy for him to be the big boss man that pulls all the strings, he seems to understand what people enjoy about Destiny, and Luke could be a design lead for raids, because he's damn good at that.

Lets add getting rid of static rolls for Legendary weapons to the list.
-
Ctrl C... Ctrl V. Look guys it's gonna all be better soon!!!! It's all very vague.. Let's hope it's for real and not just them fluffing this game up.
-
Great news but like D1 I have leveled all up to 305 depending on loadout.....grown bored and have taken a step away again and will wait because when I came back to D1 after Rise of Iron I did have a blast....so I look forward to returning when they get this work done.
-
Honesty CJ is one of the few people who really has a good head on his shoulders when it comes to understanding what the players want and need to hear, I like him
-
He can't save this garbage game now!!!!!!!
-
So the bottom line is, the game was released 6 months early. Awesome.
-
tbh all this should of been in the game from the start , most players are now 305 or very near it , i realised on day 1 that all the tokens you get will become pretty pointless as you rank up. theres no point doing strikes or raids , theres no strike guns no grind to get the god roll guns or gear the rewards from doing strikes is woeful there just not worth doing. "what makes my 10th better devils better than my first one , this is a question we are looking at" - luke smith , this is a question that shouldnt of come up in the first place , "we have ideas that might not make it into the finished game"- again luke smith , so you have had 3 yrs and all you have done is copy and paste and its still not finished ?. i have done a few strikes and as i said there not worth doing theres no reward other than a few tokens that are now useless the same applies to the nightfall as for the raids well the guys i game with have all but stopped playing the game , after you have dome reset day its not worth playing. exotics are falling like rain i get 2 or 3 a day on each class just by doing public events or crucible and why are we getting old guns from D1 ? , im waiting for the gally and icebreaker to return under the heading of "you the fans asked for them and here we are giving them to you see we heard you arnt we good". i feel that all the updates are to little to late , it feels like everything they learned in D1 has been thrown out of the window and the game was rushed out to avoid handing the company to activision and has had very little play testing if any at all or all the problems would of been noticed earlier , either that or they were ignored in the rush to get the game out under the heading of we will stick a plaster on it later. the guns are reskins the gun sounds are copy and paste exotics copy and paste for every new exotic added they brought back 2 from D1. theres a lot of questions about D2 that shouldnt need to be asked after 3 years and 1000 ppl working on it , and i dont think it will bring back the players the game has lost.

These changes would have made the game so much better if the game launched with them, but later is better than never so I’ll take it

2 RepliesAnd how long before he doesn't deliver everything that everyone wants right when they want it, and these forums are polluted with posts demanding that he be demoted, fired, and/or burned at the stake? I am delighted with the news that Bungie is addressing player concerns. Can we try being nice to them now? And maybe even trying to be patient while the game evolves?
-
Destiny 2 is already pretty fun (imo, at least for me) and within however long it takes to release all of that, it’ll become a lot more fun.
-
Add an overhaul to the PvP meta and I would go from happy to blown out of the water with this update.
-
- Please fix the Ammo issue in Crucible (Power ammo for 1 guardian is dumb). Maybe separate Rockets and Swords form Grenade launchers, Fusion, Snipers, and Shottys. - Please fix the flinch for snipers. - Bring back NLB and TLW. - Bring back ALL the crucible AND Strike Maps (The tower got destroyed but the planets we used to go to didn't). - Bring back 3v3 and 6V6 matches (skirmish, Rumble ...)

Unless it NEW loot and take out the fixed specs on guns and armor and let us customize like the old days then nah...bc once u get something in d2...everyone has it so no improving our way to get stuff easier is just lame
-
Bungie: We need to come up with a plan to get the playerbase interested in the game. We're getting to many hate videos, and threads and it will burn our reputation. Let's finally give them back the core we took away in the first place. 👌 This is how Bungie gets its playerbase to come back. Wouldn't be surprise if you guys get dissapointed again. 😂😂 Destiny players are so naive.
-
1 ReplySee folks, some of the concerns you have raised are being addressed. The one I am most interested in is the replay value of strikes, etc. Yay. I think they can get some of this done before the year is out and the rest early early Q1 2018. But Im sure this band of debbie downers will find new stuff to gripe about.
-
4 RepliesBungie is listening to these forums, that list didn't form itself! Mr. Barrett definitely seems to know what he's doing, let's just hope this will reduce a lot of the salty banter on the forums for the next few weeks... Bungie finally showed they care about most of the things us Guardians are complaining about.
-
Nice to know :)
-
This looks very promising and addresses a lot of the complaints. Now that the live team are taking care of D2, can we ask that when the rest of Bungie start working on D3 they take notice of everything the live team are doing this time and maybe include the best parts in the base game next time ?
-
3 RepliesTranslation for the non stupid: 1. We're recalling the team that un-f@=*ed D1 after we let LS loose on it. Hopefully they can un-f@=* this new mess in the same way. 2. Our plan is to basically forward port all of D1 into D2 including exotics and yes that means gally! Though well pull that grenade pin when times are darkest. 3. Don't worry LS is back making smaller DLC like taken king where he doesn't have control over actual game systems.

So there's...hope? *Raises arms, single tear*

4 RepliesI can't believe people still swallow this pr garbage and wag their tails haha
-
4 RepliesI don't know. HoW was when I realised Destiny was moving toward becoming a PvP-centric shooter. I still very much resent the nerfing of Hand Cannons and Black Hammer.
-
4 RepliesAnd still not a word about how little your power level actually means.
