Suggestion to bring more players back to D2

Simplify the game. We convinced a friend to join D2. His career is with software / tech. He played one night WITH OUR GUIDANCE and felt it was too complicated. Things that we take for granted (easy) because we know the game - understanding armor, mods, weapons, weapon perks, etc were too complicated to understand (as a new player). I can’t imagine how he would feel if we weren’t helping. The game takes a major commitment to play (the grind). It is not casual player friendly. Battlefield and COD are simplified games. You log in. You play. Make fun of it if you want, but they are dominating the scene right now (PvP). Casual players are spending money buying and playing them. ALSO: former players would return if we could access and play the story modes that we paid for. I would love to campaign the storyline from start to finish again. Red war and beyond…

  • Bungie cannot help but make the game as complex as possible, as if the appeal was in being as hard to unwrap as a hermetically sealed clamshell package with about 3 security devices latched on it. I remember starting out in Shadowkeep and being fairly lost to Armor Stats, Weapon Rolls, and the gameplay in general but I couldn't even fathom starting now, I'd probably drop the game within an hour and get a refund. Not asking for "yellow paint" or annoying/persistent objective dialogue, just make it easier for new players to pick up any weapon and armor and not have to do calculus to figure out what their next steps are, as the bare minimum. It really doesn't need 12 modifiers engaged for us to feel anything while we parkour over 50 enemies in a cramped room. Will that be "boring" to some? Possibly, if you are a long time player, but difference is that they should be knowledgeable enough to take steps down to meet the challenge rather than newer players having to climb a massive mountain.
