Ah, bootlickers out in full force I see. You don't give brownie points for features that should've been in the game at launch/"improving" systems that even looked bad.on -blam!-ing paper. They stripped most of this shit from D1 and didn't replace it with anything meaningful at the launch of D2. So at best they've overcome their three-year collective stroke recovery, and at worst this good cop bad cop routine was intentional. STOP GIVING THEM PARTICIPATION TROPHIES.

I have deboarded the hate train, and am now hesitantly optimistic. Seriously, other players, that list is addressing almost literally EVERY DAMN THING you, me and every other guardian has been in a frothy rage over since the end of week 2. Give the guy a chance to see what he brings to the party.....we can always lynch him later 😈

Six months from now when the game is still this bad this post will be such a bad memory.

Y'all are awfully quick to kiss this dudes a**. Details might warrant that but there weren't any.

This will all be available when yr 3 dlc becomes available...

The answer to why D2 was released in its current format could be answered from Bungie's TWAB. To quote their TWAB... "Right now at Bungie, we’ve passed the development torch from the people that made Destiny 2 to the people who will sustain it"

This is just a few things that should already be in the game. Nothing to cheer about to be honest. Probably have to pay for this update too.

Perhaps a bit premature. Regardless of who is running the ship, it's probably going to take a year to get it to a state most of us are looking for and/or expecting.

TWAB was a decent read - But realistically idk of they can deliver all that in any sort of timeframe that isn't over 6 - 8 months away. Are they talking about stuff to add in 2018 for the next Expansion ? Cause I don't see this stuff happening anytime soon. That is a lot of new programing and new assets. I am glad to see them actually say something and I hope I am 100% wrong. We will have to see if this new "engine" they have been touting is actually going to help them produce new stuff and program new stuff into the game faster or easier for them to keep up a consistent amount of content.

All of this means nothing. All the live team did in D1 was keep the player base hanging on with re-skinned content, holiday BS, and the promise of D2. Look what we got. Like sure, Bungie I'll pull down my pants and bend over for you again, even though last time I did it you lied and it didn't end good for me. I'll trust you this time. All of these "improvements" to come are so vague they could mean anything. New systems and rewards to give our most engaged players additional, optional pursuits. (This could just mean higher drop rate of purple or exotic engrams engrams. That is a change to the system and rewards) Better incentives for players who complete challenging Prestige activities. (This too could just mean something like a guaranteed exotic.) Better rewards and replay value for strikes, adventures, and Lost Sectors. (Like it sounds, just higher drop rates for stuff in the game 95% of the player base already has) Private matches for the competitive community (we are targeting early 2018). (Cool so anywhere from 3 to 6 months. So why wasn't this in the game already? Why wasn't so much that was obviously so good about D1 in the game already? D2 was suppose to be the culmination of everything learned the past 3 years) I can go on and on.

The first step to fixing a problem is to acknowledge it. The community has been very vocal about the issues and I am sure that the guys playing this knowing anyway so it is a step in the right direction that they are talking about the key issues. Given the game is not very old and PC is only just out, I would have been surprised if they had come out any quicker on this give some of the issues were clearly design choices that fell flat. On the flip side, those people that say 'D2 was already in development when TTK came out' seem to forget that D2 was delayed for a year and was directed by the same dude that did TTK. Some if the improvements that were made with TTK should definitely have been in this game from release, not added in later on when a massive chunk of the player base has moved on after a second disappointing release. Those people may never come back now. There are some fundamental issues with this game and there aren't many more than those mentioned by Chris in the TWAB. A lot of those should come with free game updates (replayability improvements, private matches, going back to choosing of game modes etc) and some should come with paid DLC (story content, new modes of play, new guns etc). I have paid for the expansion passes so I will play that when it is out, however right now the content is largely done and I have no reason to replay it. If I hadn't already paid then there is a good chance I wouldn't bother to pick up the new stuff. That, to me, is the biggest challenge Bungie have. And no... random rolls isn't the way to fix it.
