You want destiny to survive and thrive then we need to expand player base The world runs on numbers now more players equals destiny staying on

Vanilla is not the answer. The planetary system was terrible, exotics were SUPER easy to get, lack of random rolls made getting the same weapon for the fifteenth time just boring. Crucible, while a nice change from D1 TTKS, got boring after a while, and having two primaries meant a ridiculous number of power weapons. EVERVERSE. IS. CANCEROUS. Destiny HAS NEVER been a pay to loot game. Cosmetics and shaders should be found in the world, not through a singular vendor. My idea of getting cool cosmetics in Destiny isn’t shopping. It’s going out and earning it. That kind of “ooh that’s a cool thing but I don’t want to earn it, I just want to buy it.” And if CATALYSTS start coming from EVERVERSE. Dude. You might as well just buy exotics from her. Get rid of Xur, he’s already useless, get rid of world drops, forget engrams, it’s not a shoot to loot anymore. It’s SHOPPING. Terrible ideas. That’s not being a casual player, that’s just lazy. The majority of players have left because of heavy basis on RNG, lack of actually cool, fun, repeatable content, and lack of badass loot. There’s already too much eververse, where they worry more about making new emotes than new strikes. They work harder to fix emotes missing from your collections than a bug with the Like a Diamond triumph for Scourge of the Past. I say the hell with Eververse, emotes, shaders and the like. If that’s what it takes to make a FUN game with COOL activities, then so be it. But the answer in not more vanilla and more Eververse.

What’s one of the most popular games out there atm fortnite they make a killing with skins etc and it’s super easy to pick up I’m not saying change everything but you have to understand destiny can’t survive on the hardcore like d1 did In this environment As much as you hate micro transactions (simple solution don’t buy them) and the dumbing down of SOME areas it’s a way to get back some lost player base As I said we keep the hardcore stuff for those that will always play but destiny needs players No players or not enough players it shuts down we don’t get destiny 3 etc There is a lot going on in destiny it’s in a good place content wise for most but it’s also big enough to cater to all players that’s the big thing here If you can suggest a better way to get back to over 1.5 million players please let me know cause everything so far is pushing people away Destiny could be the first AAA title to die due to frustration

If Bungie wants players back, they need to fix the broken metas in Crucible, they need to make RNG less frequently found, more quests, less mess. But the biggest thing is that if they had listened to the community they would have prevented all this. Instead they’ve done nothing but cause the frustration by not listening about things like masterwork cores and continually releasing piss poor activities and destinations like the infinite forest. Right here.

They need more guns to chase in all parts of the game they have the content but not enough good loot. This game needs RNG to survive the trouble is they have got the RNG in parts of the game where it shouldn't be, like for seals for example. They need a loot injection and a system like The Division where the milestones we do each week has a chance to drop any top gun because with random rolls you still won't get god rolls of all guns quick due to random rolls. This game has gone boring because it is split with stuff you have got & will never get they need to make doing things we have done 100+ times worth it.

Fortnite is a terrible game. If you look at the player population, the large majority is either pre teen, teenage casual party gamers, or adult sweats. It doesn’t have the dedication that Destiny does, and it’s a terrible base game. It literally offers the same things, over and over, drop into the same map and fight 99 other people. There PvE is in a paid beta. PAID. BETA. It’s popular off of bandwagoning and get old after a couple hours. Destiny has more intricacy to offer. And it used to be that most of the cosmetics were availible IN GAME. Why would I want a system like Fortnite where I HAVE TO BUY IT, if I have to option to just PLAY UNTIL I GET IT. It’s terrible, lazy logic and anyone who knows a good game understands that fortnite is terrible. Destiny used to be so good, but they’ve brought the content quality down and the eververse stock up. That’s the reason people are leaving Destiny. There is no way on earth they’re leaving because they wish they could just buy things. Smh.

seriously you dont have to buy anything to play fortnite its a choice YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY ANYTHING TO PLAY what did eververse stock up with more emotes???? yeah out of my way i need me them emotes look you just arnt getting my point on all this and you not giving me any answers to how we fix it

They implemented Ghost Projections. More inventory for the eververse engram that literally nobody cares about. They recycle legendary Sparrows with different names and don’t even bother changing the Shader. Look it up. They pad eververse as much as they can without pissing off even more players. And now you want them to sell CATALYSTS. Dude. That’s not a cosmetic even. That’s a part of GAMEPLAY.

again its a CHOICE it doesnt matter what they sell its a choice you dont have to buy it. you obviously hate micro transactions so this is gonna be pointless to try to explain it to you. so ive asked 3 times for you to give me solutions and you havnt so lets just stop now

If Bungie wants players back, they need to fix the broken metas in Crucible, they need to make RNG less frequently found, more quests, less mess.

Instead they’ve done nothing but cause the frustration by not listening about things like masterwork cores and continually releasing piss poor activities and destinations like the infinite forest. Third time’s the charm.

so your big fix for all this is to take away weapons from the crucible cause everyone uses them. the only thing you say that is good is the rng needs fixing. so what do we do about mastercores? look i mentioned that the loot pool is too shallow atm we need more not less. the more we have the better chance the meta dies

Masterwork cores should be for masterworking Weapons and Armor. Not infusing. You should be able to choose your masterwork on a weapon, whether you want range or stability or handling, just like Year 1. And armor archetype should be changed with masterworking. They got that right in y1, then threw it out. Shotguns were a meta problem in D1, so they nerfed the range and made better maps for sniping. Maps are far too small. Honestly I can’t see Crucible being fixed TBH. They refuse to nerf Luna’s Howl, which I’ve made an entire post about how it’s 230% damage increase perk is ridiculous. And now in D2 auto shotguns are EVERYWHERE, whereas in D1 it was fairly limited to things like the Fourth Horseman. Bungie -blam!-ed up big time with masterworking, they -blam!-ed up crucible to the point where I don’t even know if it’s fixable, and they’ve -blam!-ed up on the loot pool since the start of Year Two. The Edge Transit fiasco where it was the ONLY world drop Heavy Weapon was ridiculous. The amount of loot is terrible, so they Walk it behind RNG. They could take the time to bring Year 1 Weapons and Armor to year 2, but they don’t. Why? Because they evidently don’t care I guess? Your guess is as good as mine. These are all the issues that need to be fixed. I know you have more points in your original post, and I agree with some of them, but turning Destiny into Fortnite would be a death sentence because of the difference in the audience. So I guess forget Crucible. Cores need to be used for masterworking, masterworking needs to be more useful, loot needs to be more available through playtime and more unique.

i dont want to turn destiny into fortnite its just ideas if they wish to keep evervesre.

Which I say it’s gotta go. It really does if they want to keep Destiny alive. The amount of disrespect to the playerbase having Cayde’s/Andal Brasks Cloak availible for Hunters to wear but being sold in EVERVERSE was enraging. They’re going so far as to put armor sets that disappear after that season. If you got a bad roll, tough nuts, you’re never getting another one.
