Heaven forbid they do what literally every other MMO with expansions has done since the dawn of time.

Game’s been F2P for a year, with all Y1 campaigns free. If “some people” haven’t played it by now, I think Bungie’s safe in assuming they weren’t going to anyway.

Because the MCC isn’t an MMO, and Destiny 2 is not as neatly sectioned off as other MMO’s. Strike matchmaking would need to take into account whether or not you can be matched into Forsaken Strikes and/or Shadowkeep Strikes and/or Beyond Light Strikes and/or Warmind Strikes and/or Curse of Osiris Strikes, for example.…

Forsaken, Shadowkeep, and Beyond Light campaigns, raids, locations, and activities are all still in the game, along with the EDZ and Nessus. Still plenty of PvE stuff to do. They’re cycling out the Y1/Y2 stuff that nobody was playing and was sucking up space.

Agreed. I try every new big update hoping this time it will be different, but it never is. I’ll try this one too, and will probably be disappointed again. Hope I’m wrong.

Agreed. It’s really not up for debate that they lied. They did. I will praise them to the moon and back for how they’ve continued to support the game with so much free content; it’s definitely the model for how developers should treat their games long term. That doesn’t mean we should forget how bad their launch was.

Desktop. Even when I was a console-only gamer I was as close to the screen as I could get, so the move to desktop was pretty natural. 

I played it much longer than 5 minutes. I simply assumed that anyone reading this comment would not want to spend several hours playing an MMO just to see what I was talking about.

I haven’t played any of the expansions, so maybe it got better, but at the start? Horrendously bland. Go back and watch the intro missions, where bland plastic dolls ride a wagon through boring terrain, get assaulted by more bland plastic dolls, then eventually arrive at a city that thinks simply making their…

I wish I saw some IX in there, but I didn’t. None of the whimsy, none of the visual style, no distinct characters or locations... bland bland bland. Much like XII and XIV.

I didn’t even know this was a thing. I always thought it was “So long, big Bowser!”

The seasons won’t be generating it constantly - they’ve already said going forward that seasonal activities and content will stick around for the entire year.

Deleted stuff doesn’t come back. Vaulted stuff will. Yeah, that is a big difference.

It sounds like they also never trapped themselves with a garbage engine. There have been horror stories about how awful it is trying to make simple updates to Destiny 2, even something as simple as moving assets around a patrol map. On top of that, the game was never designed to last more than three years, and now…

I agree that it’s necessary to strip out the dead weight, but from an outside perspective, “Bungie removes tons of content from their game” is absolutely a bad PR move. The Destiny subreddit has been nothing but people saying “Wait, why is all this stuff disappearing? Is Bungie deleting half their game? Can I sue them…

I think Procedural Generation plays a bigger part than you’re giving it credit for. Missions in Warframe vs. Strikes/Dungeons/Raids in Destiny 2... procedural generation vs. each of Destiny’s being handcrafted is going to be a huge difference.

I play Destiny pretty much every day. I know what’s coming.

They’re not deleting anything, and Destiny is orders of magnitude larger than Warframe.

Yep. Same people who brought us Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate’s Booty.

“When I get grabbed—which happens to me a lot, because karma, I guess—I just laugh it off and get back in the game. I hope those I’ve grabbed do the same, or at least get a funny Twitch clip out of it.”
