If core activities are going to be part of the seasonal gameplay loop....

....then strikes desperately need an overhaul. I remember you guys talking about an “evolving” world and yet we are stuck in the past killing a boss from 4 years ago in a mission with dialogue from a dead main character. There are so few strikes now, I think they need to be changed into something more random that can be used to keep things current and set up whatever is coming next story wise. They could be a series of randomized objectives and random even no named bosses that could appear in one of several different locations. All themed to whatever planet it takes place on. This would make the path to and boss a different combination from strike to strike, and the entire planet could be utilized instead of just having these areas that are not used or even closed off when not in a specific mission.

  • Yeah I was sitting one evening looking at Destiny 2 in my game library thinking "I could grind for the Antiope-D reskin today, who knows might be fun." Then I remembered I need to play Strikes/Gambit/Crucible that I just was not in the mood for. Ehh Fallout New Vegas it was.

    It's actually awful. I dont want to hate it..but I hate it. [i]dialogue from a dead character[/i] W. T. F. This 'expansion' is a [b]perfect[/b] example of why people, including me, rag on Bungo so much. GREAT story setup....falls flat on its face...and it's back to strikes, gambit, crucible, with pvp freeze helplessness and less content than before the 'expansion' dropped. Oh yeah, and Gambit on Titan. [b][i][u]PLS BUNGO FFS[/u][/i][/b]

    • We NEED better repeatable content. Something akin to prison of elders or menagerie. Preferably menagerie because it involved mechanics rather than just killing stuff.

      • I’m never doing endgame again there’s no point since they will sunset everything again so grinding anything now is pointless So I’ll just use my sunset gear and bungie can take their endgame trash and go blam off

        • Hey, remember how they gave us a neat new strike that wasn't just a recycled story mission last year? And then Sunset it?

        • Does anybody remember the first Dawning event in D2? Remember the snowballs? Remember how those were everywhere on the planets and even in strikes? Remember how powerful and fun they were? Remember?...

            • “ look at our massive world and beautiful sandbox!!” “But there’s nothing here to do...?” Says the community “Naaah it’ll be fine look at our sandbox and stop asking questions!” Says bungie I feel like this is the loop we live in

              • Be very careful what you ask for. You type "...strikes desperately need an overhaul." Bungo hears "remove all strikes except Exodus Crash (and add 3x health / 3x immunity phases) and more EV crap please" or somesuch.

                • I've said it before and I'll say it again - Seasons should focus on adding Strikes & Dungeons with Story & Loot

                  • We need a return of strike scoring in regular strikes, and we need strike exclusive loot. But not just any strike exclusive loot, meaningful loot. Not just weapons and armor. We need guns with unique perk combinations that can only roll on specific strike exclusive loot, such as Wellspring and Demolitionist on the same gun. The strike specific armor should be modelled after the boss-faction that drops it, as well as rolling with specific high stats in one category, encouraging players to farm X strike for discipline rolls, or Y strike for Resilience rolls, etc. Furthermore, some strikes should drop armor and weapon mods that can't be found elsewhere. Lastly, we need a return of the skeleton key system, with higher point values at the end of playlist strikes translating to higher drop chances at skeleton keys. I'd say about a 100% chance every 100k points, so 80% chance at 80k, or 100% chance for one key and a 30% chance for a second key at 130k. Zavala needs to sell ghost shell mods that increase the chances of skeleton keys dropping, with higher tiers of the mod being sold only to higher vanguard rank players.

                      Day 3 I was out of things to do besides farm light level. DAY -blam!-ING 3. Week 2 we have wrathborn hunts which are just green spit covered enemies that drop crap which require us to farm the shit we've done for 4 damn years to participate in the 5 minute long hunt. At least it's not another horde mode, but it's easily the least interesting seasonal content we've gotten. I don't care WHAT the context of the story is, I want to do shit not watch shit. Where are the powerful weapons? Where is some actual good looking armor? Where is the content week 2 into a 40$ expansion? Was I just spoiled by forsaken and my expectations for something they charged the same price for was too high? Why did the season before this one offer better gear when NOW is when sunsetting is putting a metal string between my balls (ok that's nasty). Why can't I even access the rest of the europa weapons to farm them like I actually wanted to? I wanted cloudstrike and yet 2 weeks in there's still no access point for it. Why is the amount of new gear so small that 80% of my gear is just stuff I was using years ago but with a different stamp, WASN'T THAT THEIR REASONING FOR SUNSETTING IN THE FIRST PLACE? I LIKED the initial burst of content and I really enjoy having a new subclass but...this is just disappointing so far otherwise. I'm so bored I decided to play the mass effect 3 multiplayer after not playing it for years because there was nothing to do in destiny (and since it was recently added to the gamepass). I even took a decently long break from playing destiny during the 2 month delay and I still feel exhausted and worn out. I WANT to play it but I just cannot play that same shit anymore as content.

                      • This whole thing is sad. When eververse was first introduced they fooled you guys into thinking it would help fund the game, yet the content keeps getting thinner while eververse gets thicker.

                      • So, I am out of commission to play this game, and I checked in the forums to see how much fun people were having. I was shocked to learn the there are barely any updates or improvements to the core activities. No new loot, armor etc. Armor vendors having same shaded armor also shocked me greatly. I have never been so shocked at such lack of added content in any MMO type game ever. usually expansions. have generous amount of new stuff. Maybe its good i cannot play this game now. Hopefully more content will arrive

                      • They really need to add new strikes desperately. And new loot. And more of it but not too much. I also think something that would really help is adding variants like how the April update for TK added all those Taken strike variants. It'd be a simple way to help freshen up existing content as well and make the strike experience more interesting. There's plenty they can do, just need to get creative and actually give a damn about strikes lol

                        • Removing strikes as part of sunsetting was a stupid idea. It's basically Y1 all over again.

                          • Specific Strike loot, NEW specific crucible loot, NEW gambit gear, it’s honestly annoying they f*cked this up.

                          • At this point, Bungo should just copy and paste what makes D1 strikes great and just put it in D2. That includes Rift and Combined Arms in a weekly rotation of course.

                          • They also talked about adept strike loot over the summer but haven't said a word on it more recently. I figured they would have unveiled them with the adept trials weapons.

                            • They could have made almost every mission from Beyond Light into a strike. boggles my mind that they took one step forward and a flight of stairs back.

                              @Bungie Playing tired, stale 3 year old (currently in their 4th year) strikes, 4x Gambit maps & similarly stale Crucible maps (inc broken Stasis) as ‘seasonal content’ Isn’t what I fvckin’ signed up for! (Isn’t the point of Beyond Light that it offers [b]NEW[/b] content?) Where’s the unique content, where’s the 6 person matchmade events & locked fireteam pinnacle drive (Sundial did this perfectly) Bungie mentioned that this years seasons weren’t going away ...well that’s correct, because there’s fvck all to take away No wonder you had nothing to show in the ViDoc Even the ‘Hunts’ are just extended bounties (requiring [b]even more[/b] core games) & ‘same shit, different day’ hamster grind! Damn, you’ve even fvcked up the powerful/pinnacle gear rewards (currently bugged - no sight of a solution) Bland. Boring. [b]BLight[/b]: [i]verb[/i], to have a severely detrimental effect Seems the name fits perfectly

                                It would be cool if every strike had strike specific weapons/armor to grind for... Grasp of Malok is calling. Y’all went through the trouble of bringing the Omnigul strike back but not the weapon that made grinding the strike kinda worth it?
