Discuss all things Destiny 2.

It remains interesting to me how diverse the Destiny 2 player base is.

Or was, I guess. We've got PvPers and PvEers, and everything in between. We've got casuals and sweats, and everything in between. We've got elitists and the laid back, and everything in between. We've got collectors and the spartan, and everything in between. We've got puzzle platformers and fighters, and everything in between. We've got veterans and blueberries, and everything in between. And all of us are asking for different things. "There's too much loot!" "There's not too much loot enough!" "There's too much grinding!" "There's not enough grinding!" "The game is way too easy!" "The game is way too hard!" We see this somewhat in other games, Borderlands 4 comes to mind right now, there's been some discourse about whether Legendary (Exotic) drop rates are too low or just right in BL4, but it's nothing like what we see in Destiny 2. And, of course, objectivity is no help, because things like difficulty and "too much" or "too little" are largely subjective. There aren't that many objective things we can point to in D2; Unstable Cores being an absolute bear comes to mind, but there's not too much else (system-wise) we can all agree on. I'd hate to be the person at Bungie who's responsible for parsing community sentiment, it's like that Simpsons episode "So you want a grounded, off the wall comedy that deals with real life issues and has aliens." (This post is not in reference/response to anything, it's just me thinking out loud.)

  • My ideal option list… Login…first question - ‘How do you want to play?’ Choose: Easy Normal Hard Harder Hardest Explore - no enemy engagement…good for hunting collectibles Exotic rewards tied to fun quests Decent loot via PvP or PvE pathways Main ‘flex’ differentiation via emblems only Let players play how they want! 👈 FWIW: the current system ain’t working…just look at the declining numbers…and listen to the players tell it like it is via the forums…even the ‘chosen few’ - popular YouTubers and Twitchers are jumping ship…🧐 Even Sony must be raging at their very costly and ultra-expensive lemon acquisition! 🤬 Looking Ahead: There’s got to be some very serious and meaningful changes made to the current game, otherwise, it’s game over. 🫤 Maybe the new people can make it happen…maybe not?! I get - Rome wasn’t built in a day, and all that, but…the standard BHQ Radio Silence thing also needs to change! 👈👈👈 Arc Raiders is getting lots of attention; the bit that appeals to me is how many gamers join forces to defeat the common enemy. I haven’t played it yet, though I am looking into it… I wonder if that ‘player engagement’ mentioned above, and done Destiny style, could be the new twist / hook for Marathon? 🤔 That would work if done right, methinks!? That is all. Play Fair! Play Nice! Don’t Quit / Cheat. 👈 Ease Slings! 🖖👻
