[thorn plank]

didnt have that either lmao

[odd fox]

LOL

Its okay

We are here now

[thorn plank]

But i remember the odd time here or there, walking home from school, and my friend would just chat my ear off about Destiny lmao

He even showed me Stormtrance when Taken King came out

I thought it was so cool

[lean belfry]

Wish someone gaslit me into d2 when it was fresh

[thorn plank]

I cant post screenshots in this chat, otherwise id show my receipt from 2017 lmao

[lean belfry]

Back then thought "ew futuristic"

[vale arrow]

Do you guys think solar titan new shield break aspect will be like unbreakable where you turn your grenade into a shield, or do you think it’ll be a class ability ability.

[thorn plank]

Honestly

What really put me off was the news that "bungie doesnt have a 10 year plan" and my whole personality was being contrarian for the sake of it

[lean belfry]

Its gonna be the shieldbashing skeleton as aspect

[thorn plank]

So i was Anti-bungie no matter how cool i thought it was

[lean belfry]

I didn't look at studios before tbh, started D2 cause of a collab that never happened

[thorn plank]

Im also upset the Arknights collab never happened

[lean belfry]

and one of my fav artists back then making really cool destiny art

[lean belfry]

Ong, til thursday was still on copium that it just needs a right moment

[balmy field]

thank god

[lean belfry]

a logical story intersection

[thorn plank]

tbh

[willow gulch]

I miss the Red War

[thorn plank]

i would have preferred an arknights collab over fucking star wars

[willow gulch]

I loved the campaign

[manic yoke]

what about curse of osiris greatest expansion ever 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️

[willow gulch]

it was meh

[manic yoke]

best expansion ever made you mean

[shadow inlet]

A little less than meh

[thorn plank]

I get we're all grieving

But please dont lie to yourself like that

[naive yarrow]

Ngl I’m really thinking SRL will be a lot of fun

[manic yoke]

curse of osiris is better than the taken king this is definitely not cope

[willow gulch]

Btw I joined during shadowkeep
I had to start out without the tutorial quest that is in the game rn

[thorn plank]

I was moreso talking to stunna lol

[uncut seal]

I hope they make all the rotating store exotic ornaments available for purchase

[willow gulch]

oh
sry then

[thorn plank]

All good

[uncut seal]

So many skins I'm missing out on

[manic yoke]

you know I’m right bronado

[lean belfry]

I hope we get the legendary gun ornaments, for example gnawing hunger

[thorn plank]

If Curse of Osiris was good, then Shadowkeep was the pinnacle of the franchise

[manic yoke]

you’re god damn right it was

[lean belfry]

Chat

do i get acrius or anarchy next

[thorn plank]

Acrius

[subtle rune]

Damn something sus is happening at my work place.

first 2 staff on over 1 month leave

My team colleague resigning today

And just announced a sudden departure of admin asssitant

[thorn plank]

I wanna see some goofy stuff come out in the next while

[balmy field]

bro works at bungie

[subtle rune]

[wraith ginkgo]

do you work in healthcare

or a hospital perchance

[scarlet fiber]

I love this game but eventually I jump back into pvp and I get frustrated lmao

[lean belfry]

Every time i turn back to pvp cause i got a cool roll i get reminded why i hate the crucible

[scarlet fiber]

I just need to avoid pvp and ill be a happy camper

[tropic spindle]

Crucible was better in D1. It was toned down, less BS

[lean belfry]

Id love to run more ftf dungeons but the problem is that people only want to run two dungeons ever

[lofty minnow]

pretty inevitable for a game that's been up for nearly a decade honestly

[balmy field]

depends on when you played it

[onyx sinew]

june 9th

[balmy field]

late d1 was dogshit unplayable

the current state of it is also dogshit unplayable

[near tinsel]

where do i find raids?

[lean belfry]

Some dude was flabbergasted cause he asked me why i run spire with hin and i said for the love of the game 😭

[balmy field]

current d2 is better than current d1 by far

[lean belfry]

Voltshot long arm trust

[tropic spindle]

Well there were some times.

Everyone remembers thorn and Hawkmoon destroying lobbies

[lean belfry]

I just hope they cycle out some proph loot, the current table kinda sucks

[lean belfry]

makes me think of thorn catalyst release

[devout trellis]

i thought proph just got a refresh

[formal topaz]

no

[balmy field]

it didnt

[formal topaz]

it got a refresh about

2 years ago

[tropic spindle]

Wish there was a proper armour set for Shattered Throne

[balmy field]

three weapons got updated for rite of the nine

but those weapons were not added to the dungeon itself

:)

[onyx sinew]

there should be this time

[devout trellis]

o thats poop

[formal topaz]

its still reverie dawn

[lean belfry]

Season of wish was the refresh of proph

Benching the sniper and sidearm was an L decision

[devout trellis]

you update pit before you update proph

[formal topaz]

both were butt

im glad theyre gone

[tropic spindle]

New pit armour would be a welcome addition

[sour prawn]

destiny 1 on ps5 feels like 17 fps not 30

[formal topaz]

in your dreams

[lean belfry]

For another pulse rifle, the smg is kinda rad at least

[tropic spindle]

Sadly true

[balmy field]

it should be 30 on ps5

[sour prawn]

FEELS like

[balmy field]

unlike what people say it does not run at 60 on current gen, it just feels smoother than ps4 bc it dipped below 30 all the time lmao

[lean belfry]

they want to tier destination guns but imagine also the armor

[formal topaz]

armor is getting tiered too

[lean belfry]

Ayo fr? Thought just dunegon and raid

[formal topaz]

destination armor too iirc

[lean belfry]

Would make me actually play destinations

[formal topaz]

yeah they are

first ascent armor might actually be worth the grind now??

[lean belfry]

Praying t5 ornaments wont be red 🙏 or the option that the default look is auto equipped on all guns

again, can't stand all the same color loot

[tropic spindle]

Any idea what's happening with previous season ornaments? They still going to try milk us of money and put them in EV?

[dawn meadow]

Chat

[lean belfry]

Prob go into random bd store rotation

[lean belfry]

Veno

[dawn meadow]

How we doin

[lean belfry]

Exist

[sour prawn]

Exits

[dawn meadow]

Im so bored rn

[simple junco]

I say for the final Update Make the Last City The D1 City

[near tinsel]

why dont i have dungeon key if i linked epic games account that has that dungeon key

?

[dawn meadow]

Hows d1 so far

[near tinsel]

bruh

apparently free expansions

that they gave away

didnt have dungeon ke ys

[simple junco]

Mhm

[near tinsel]

man

[cerulean imp]

Tier 5 the call and no hesitation

Some of my fav weapons

[near tinsel]

i rly gotta drop 20 dollars to get cowboy stuff

💔

[waxen sail]

how come we never got any other races except the hive wielding light

unless you count ghaul having the light for a solid 5 seconds before melting

[sour prawn]

i want a donut now

[waxen sail]

I want to see a dreg hit me with a super

[dawn meadow]

What kind tho

[dawn meadow]

But why

[sour prawn]

that wasnt nice of you mixi

[waxen sail]

funny and awesome

[sour prawn]

vanilla cream filled or chocolate or something

[dawn meadow]

Shit might as well

[sour prawn]

literally going to go to the store rn

[waxen sail]

I had this tasty mango donut a couple days ago

[dawn meadow]

Lmao, is it a known one or just a local one

[dawn meadow]

Never had that

[waxen sail]

also downloading destiny again after well over a year, seems like a fantastic time to return

[dawn meadow]

Most of my adventures were just either glazed or chocolate

[dawn meadow]

I mean yeah EoS is around the corner

[waxen sail]

Now that theyre ending development they should really just add the old content back

[sour prawn]

wdyem

[strong flume]

Agreed

[sour prawn]

everything is local in europe

[strong flume]

I want to relive the old days

[dawn meadow]

Like krispy Kreme or Dunkin for example

[tepid oyster]

https://thegamepost.com/former-bungie-dev-players-original-iteration-destiny-2-lightfall-glorious-cut/

as I suspected large portions of lightfall were cut and the version we got was a jumbled mess that was nothing more than a bridge between Witch Queen and The Final Shape

Which would explain why nothing happened for most of the expansion

[sour prawn]

ew? NA slop

[dawn meadow]

My fault, lemme the donuts when you get them then

[simple junco]

What would bros super be?

[dawn meadow]

Im fasting so thats gonna be torture for me but so worth it

[waxen sail]

I wouldnt even mind a seperate game just called like Destiny 2: Legacy Version where its Red war up till forsaken

if they cant add it to the current version

[tepid oyster]

D1 classic then an expansion for D1 classic that adds the red war as an expansion would be cool with me

[dawn meadow]

Keep in mind that adding old content back means they’re remaking dlc sized content, which means that they would literally have to work extra for no gain

[tepid oyster]

Since Rise of Iron was originally supposed to be a portion of D2 and the red war was supposed to be the final D1 expansion

And the reason that was cut is because the red war didn’t work well with the D1 source code

[waxen sail]

Yeah thats why I said just make it a seperate title thats based off the old code, rather than having to reprogram anything

isnt that why they couldnt add them back, because d2 itself was updated quite a lot

so theyd have to rewrite all the old content

[dawn meadow]

They don’t have old code anymore iirc

[waxen sail]

golden gun

[simple junco]

Ace of spades was so huge in my hands in d1 lol now its been downsized

[subtle rune]

I work at a Law firm as a paralegal

[simple junco]

With the Eagle helm exotic? Lol

[tepid oyster]

The issue is that even if Bungie has access to the game files for the red war and forsaken still it won’t work with the current D2 source code

[subtle rune]

It's just so nonsense right now

[tepid oyster]

And would have to be entirely reworked

That’s the more likely explanation

[waxen sail]

still sucks that Ive lost around £100 worth of content

[subtle rune]

[quaint garnet]

is The First Descendant worth checking out if i want somthing like D2?

[waxen sail]

D2, Curse of osiris, warmind and forsaken all just deleted because why not

[quaint garnet]

dont like warframe cuz story makes no senese and hate the fact that i get a new gun/frame and it feelsl ike shit until i mod it

[onyx sinew]

no

[simple junco]

Wish i preordered forsaken, now im constantly checking Eververse

[waxen sail]

whatd you get for the preorder of forsaken?

I think the only DLC I preorded was shadowkeep

with the deluxe edition

[charred axle]

tbh i think the game would collapse id they didn´t, they had to drop destiny 3 back then but yeah it still sucks

[waxen sail]

oh the red and black ace of spades

[tepid oyster]

Bungie wanted to do D3 rights after TFS

It was Sony who is the reason why D3 won’t happen not Bungie

[waxen sail]

Honestly I hope we see D3 revealed like 5 years down the line

[dusk rose]

wouldve been the best time for it imo

cuts eof and renegades off

[waxen sail]

They basically ended the story of D2 with the final shape, that should have been the end other than minor content updates and start work on D3

[simple junco]

Caydes duds, a ship, caydes ghost shell, ace skin and the speed vehicle

[waxen sail]

it would have actually felt like an ending rather than "okay D2 is dead now, no plans for D3. cya"

[cerulean imp]

Maybe development would be announced in 5 years

I really doubt they’ll start any plans for d3 while marathon is their focus

[charred axle]

imagine they announce marathon 2 or some shi

[tepid oyster]

This lol we might get an announcement in a few years but I seriously doubt Bungie will be making it

And if they are they’ll be a co studio with a larger studio working on the game

[cerulean imp]

It deadass would just be so fuckin expensive

[simple junco]

I would like my d2 content to be ported to d3 after getting my ace catalyst and gun

[cerulean imp]

And incredibly risky since you can’t tell how many would buy d3

[waxen sail]

I mean if marathon dies I wouldnt be surprised if sony just shuts down bungie

I dont think they have anything going on atm

[near tinsel]

why are they shutting d2 down anyays

[onyx sinew]

they arent

[subtle rune]

It's not shutting down

[near tinsel]

i mean

stopping

[onyx sinew]

servers will still be up

[near tinsel]

things

[subtle rune]

Please read the twid again, I beg you

[cerulean imp]

Not shutting down. Focus on marathon + it probably wasn’t making nearly enough money to be worth it

[near tinsel]

servers will work ik but they wont update it anymore

oh ok

what even is marathon

wait

[tepid oyster]

Because Bungie lost Sony a ton of money and now Bungie is downsizing and the Destiny team will be laid off

[waxen sail]

my friends trying to get me to go back to D1 with him

[simple junco]

Bruh read the article

[tepid oyster]

Because of the sheer magnitude of bungie’s failure or more accurately

Parsons failure

[onyx sinew]

we dont have any official confirmation of anyone being laid off

[simple junco]

[waxen sail]

didnt he buy an expensive ass car during the huge layoffs

[cerulean imp]

Yeah, we can only wait and see

[near tinsel]

oh its a shittty extraction shooter

too bad

[tepid oyster]

But the source claiming the team will be laid off has been right almost every time he’s leaked info

[onyx sinew]

he sold bungie to sony for way more than its worth and fired a bunch of people after showing them his car collection

[simple junco]

Im spending the most money for the Final Update

[tepid oyster]

So I’m more inclined to believe that

[waxen sail]

D2 was the first game I was properly into

I played D1 but I was a drooling baby on my dads xbox and just played prison of elders 24/7

[cerulean imp]

I wouldn’t say it’s shitty

[waxen sail]

and this one mission on the moon where you jump down a pit and kill a huge horde of thralls

[cerulean imp]

It’s a very well made game it’s just a niche genre that not many like

[near tinsel]

idk, i hate extraction shooters besides tarkov

cause everything else sucked that i played

[royal granite]

Destiny > Marathon

[tepid oyster]

For a D3 Bungie would have to hire dozens of new people to the team assuming the downsize actually happens and spend 100’s of millions of dollars between active development and talent scouting

Which is why I think Sony won’t be making that gamble anytime soon

[pallid blade]

Ts isnt even worth comparing

[near tinsel]

didnt bungie also make halo

[waxen sail]

if sony can invest a couple hundred million into concord to shut it down a week later

[near tinsel]

what happened to this company bruh

[pallid blade]

Old bungie did

[waxen sail]

the older halos yeah

[onyx sinew]

marathon isnt supposed to replace d2 and they arent even comparable

[charred axle]

pete parsons

[waxen sail]

extraction shooters dont interest me at all so Ill just never play marathon

[cerulean imp]

Technically yeah. But I doubt many people at Bungie now worked on halo

[waxen sail]

I played tarkov a bit and didnt like it

[tepid oyster]

Marathon should have had a PvE mode and not just been an extraction shooter tbh. It’s now forced to compete in a very niche market

Against games like arc raiders and Tarkov

[cerulean imp]

It’s getting a PvE mode

[quaint garnet]

depends on what people consider extraction shooters tbh. like is Helldivers a extraction shooter cuz you do extract at the end. same with Far Far West and DRG Rogue Core

[near tinsel]

whats the point of extraction shooter if its pve

imagine playing pve battle royale

[fresh scroll]

I’m fairly certain I saw a whole post recently where this guy at Bungie named tons of names of “OG” employees who were still there

[onyx sinew]

arc raiders plays exactly like marathon but people who play marathon dont team

[waxen sail]

Pretty much just play dead by daylight now, I seem to have an attraction to terrible games

[cerulean imp]

Really? That’s surprising mb

[onyx sinew]

there was yes

something about how old bungie blah blah

[fresh scroll]

Obviously the company would have changed a lot over the years but there are still many from the Halo days still

[near tinsel]

extraction shooter is where you go into raid with your gear and you loose it if you die, and you keep what you find

[onyx sinew]

and they said "oh let me tell etc etc"

[cerulean imp]

My fault

[near tinsel]

not just extracting in the end

cause payday has extraction too

[tepid oyster]

In the case of marathon it would have appealed to a broader audience if the game had content outside of the extraction shooter subgenre and the extraction shooter portion of the game was just its own “mode” of play

[near tinsel]

they shouldnt have made extraction shooter at all

tbf

ppl who play extraction shooters play them for (from what i saw) gritty vibe and eastern europe depression

thats why tarkov is only actual extraction shooter

that is still played

arc raider died like

3 months

into realise

[subtle rune]

Turn destiny raids into extraction raids.

Don't finish the entire run, you lose your equipped gear.

[near tinsel]

extraction shooter is very niche spin off of very niche genre on its own

[onyx sinew]

arc raiders still gets 100k players on steam

[near tinsel]

peak

[cerulean imp]

Would prevent people from leaving

[near tinsel]

idk i js noticed ppl dont talk abt it anymore

[subtle rune]

Exactly good.

Even casuals would finally fix up and learn!

[cerulean imp]

Would the fireteam leader still be able to kick people

[waxen sail]

all your god rolls down the toilet

[waxen sail]

votekick system idk

[quaint garnet]

thats what Far Far West is then and its doing pretty dang well for a PVE co op extraction shooter

[onyx sinew]

because nothings happening with it

[subtle rune]

He will lose his equipped gear if he does that

[near tinsel]

no i js said like i dont see the point

[onyx sinew]

thats not what Far Far West is

[near tinsel]

extraction shooter is meant to make you fight other ppl

[onyx sinew]

its like helldivers but a roguelike

[near tinsel]

thats what genre is at its core

competing with ai and real ppl at once

[tepid oyster]

A game like borderlands 2 but as a full fledged MMO would be my forever game

[near tinsel]

agreed

but bl2

3 sucked ass

lowk

[waxen sail]

a game like borderlands but its well written and funny

[near tinsel]

against

[waxen sail]

[near tinsel]

again

bl

2

[cerulean imp]

God these damage numbers are so depressing for me

[tepid oyster]

Oh I agree I hated 3 mainly because of the writing though

[quaint garnet]

why does it have to be PVP tho??? what about Escape from Duckov another amazing extraction shooter that is purly PVE

[tepid oyster]

Greasy Randy needs to stop inserting himself into Gearbox constantly

[cerulean imp]

I miss my millions

[near tinsel]

why does battle royale need to be pvp?

[quaint garnet]

thank god im not the only one that thinks BL4 shouldve been live service game

[near tinsel]

in its core its about competing with others

you can play against ai but like

idk

i dont see the appeal

[quaint garnet]

extraction shooters are not BR tho

[near tinsel]

its like playing

single player

unturned

i js dont see the point

but each to their own

[waxen sail]

I feel like purely PvE gets boring after a while

[near tinsel]

that

imo extraction shooter is about other ppl

those are

social ga mes

at their core

[waxen sail]

its why destiny worked so well with the crucible, its a PvE game at heart but you had a really fun pvp option

[near tinsel]

same as rust and unturned

[tepid oyster]

I tried playing arc raiders like a looter shooter and got bored after a month

[quaint garnet]

maybe cuz right now PVP games are not in the best state lol. PVE is where its at atm

[tepid oyster]

I see why that game was morphed into an extraction shooter

Without those mechanics it wouldn’t have been fun

[onyx sinew]

if i played arc raiders i would hunt other players

[subtle rune]

My boy lucky10p thinks he is zavala rallying and hyping troops against the witness (in this case Sony) with his petition.

[mossy grotto]

Is destiny dying i havent played since like… the final shape

[quaint garnet]

yet the majority of D2 was for its PVE lol plus look at all these pvp games coming out and dying right off the bat like come on

[tepid oyster]

The game lost a ton of players (including me) in the months after TFS sadly

And the lack of sales for edge of fate and renegades

Meow or less sealed Destiny as a franchises fate

[near tinsel]

cause 100th team shooter is also ass

[tepid oyster]

In the eyes of Sony

[near tinsel]

pvp isnt what makes game great, pve isnt what makes game great

i like alot of pve games

but

some games js need

pvp

to be fun

imagine tarkov without pvp

thats js

not it

[quaint garnet]

litterly escape from duckov dude

[near tinsel]

these days game are just ass

in general

games*

it isnt abt pvp or pve its about devs being greedy assholes

[tepid oyster]

Destiny when it came out back in 2014 caught my attention because of the games seamless transitions between PvE and PvP no game at the time even came close to handling it as well as Destiny did

Even though vanilla destiny lacked content

It was that seamless transitions between the 2 that made me stick around

[quaint garnet]

halo?

[near tinsel]

only good games these days are indie cause its actual passion

not js money

[tepid oyster]

Halo wasn’t an online only game like Destiny though

That’s not the best comparison

I should have clarified online games lol

[echo spade]

Honestly there's no alternative to destiny which is such a shame, cause competitiveness is good for consumer

[quaint garnet]

still lots of mmos then

wow, gw2, ffxiv etc

[near tinsel]

i would play

ff14

[mossy grotto]

Ahhh makes sense honestly when tfs came out and was done i was like ok haha i no longer feel the obligation to play every dlc i was buying the 100$ thing every year

[near tinsel]

if it dint cost

15 dollars a month

or something

[deep maple]

can bungie revert the CR nerf on special GLs

[tepid oyster]

I met my ex on FFXIV and I can tell you after sucking 200 hours into that game it’s nothing like Destiny lol

[quaint garnet]

yep i agree which is why im a fan of Guild Wars 2 then

[tepid oyster]

It’s an actual MMO Destiny isn’t

It has MMO elements for sure but not a full MMO

[quaint garnet]

people say D2 is a mmo lite

oh what about DIvison

dark zone was popping in Div 1

[tepid oyster]

Division is the closest comparison to destiny imo

[near tinsel]

tom clancy's the divison?

never played it

[worthy trellis]

the movement is so less fun

[echo spade]

I always view it as fps looter shooter that takes the best elements of an mmo

[near tinsel]

it is

[tepid oyster]

Comparing Warframe and Destiny is like comparing Yugioh to Magic but comparing Destiny to the Division is like comparing a Buick to a Cadillac

IMO

[near tinsel]

yugioh is better imo

i dont like how resources work in magic

[quaint garnet]

what sucks is that im sure a lot of D2 players like myself just cant go to Warfame for multiple reasons.

[near tinsel]

i wont ever go to wf

cause my ex played it

a nd it reminds me of her

[cerulean imp]

All I can pray for is good balance changes for the end

[clear mist]

Vexcalibur gotta be the best looking exotic

Weapon matter of fact

[near tinsel]

and i love her way too much to remind mysel fof her every time i turn on the pc

cant let go (geometry dash reference)

[fierce hamlet]

Personally I just don’t think it looks good and I don’t like the player being a character instead of making your own

[cerulean imp]

Surely they revert the stasis nerf

[tepid oyster]

I’m going back to Warframe as we speak but it’s not like a full replacement. I have as many memories on Warframe as I do Destiny so I’m in the minority here since most people on this server either hate Warframe or already jumped ship

[worthy trellis]

i tried warframe and i just didnt like any of it at all, it seems nowhere near similar

[steady ledge]

the warframe and destiny comparison is incredibly surface level they're very different games

[fierce hamlet]

Do yall know why I’m getting the same trials games over and over I prob played the same group 8 times in a row yesterday then I’d get a new group and play them 8 times

[tepid oyster]

Like comparing yugioh and magic

[half minnow]

HELLO JAIMSES

[deep maple]

thorn and malfeasance:

[steady ledge]

hey sam

[steady ledge]

low pop moment

[fierce hamlet]

Yeah but surely there’s more than 2 teams

we played for hourssss

[clear mist]

Thorn is hella chopped bro there’s like 900 other guns with that hive looking aesthetic

Aesthetic

[deep maple]

asthmatic

[tepid oyster]

Warframe and D2 both have some really good SP content but Destiny has a superior endgame

[hybrid zealot]

In terms of itemization and looter shooter aspect div2 is similar (and i would argue superior) to destiny 2

But the gameplay aspect is where it cant match destiny 2

[fierce hamlet]

Touch of malice>

[steady ledge]

i've got like 800 hours in warframe, its fun for what it is but every time i see the destiny comparison i roll my eyes

[quaint garnet]

i tried going back but the story doesnt make any sense at all to me ( in fact lightfall is better tbh ). also i just really hate the idea of grinding and building these weapons/ frames just for them to STILL be shit until you mod them. D2 a new extoic feels powerful the moment you pick it up and i just dont get that feeling in WF

[clear mist]

Mb bro read it again 😭🤣

[deep maple]

bro thinks thorn can breathe

[tepid oyster]

Hard disagree the new war had a superior story to lightfall but TFS kind of takes the cake in that contest

[void summit]

I just wanna let you guys know that GTA 6 was supposed to release today. Ok have a good day

[deep maple]

it ain’t Good Advice

[clear mist]

What?

[deep maple]

exotic from D1

it was basically whisper as a LMG

[tepid oyster]

That gun had so much potential lol

And Bungie just let it out to dry before it was good

[deep maple]

average D1 exotic that didn’t release broken

[tepid oyster]

They did the same thing with Pocket Infinity though that gun went from OP in PvP to going full reta**

[deep maple]

bring back Pocket Infinity to D2 🗣️

i want my full auto fusion

[clear mist]

Nah whisper of the worm looks good with that dragon thing at the front

Looks like one of the legendary golden weapons from ninjago

[quaint garnet]

oh yeah tru NEW WAR was AMAZING buttt then right after that i played Angels of the Zariman and was confused af as to what the hell is going on. After that Jade Quest AMAZING then i played Whispers in the Walls and again confused af to what is going on and then i just NOPED out

[clear mist]

forgot what they were called

[steady ledge]

yeah warframe isn't really a story game until you start hitting post new war stuff. even new war itself has a lot of narrative holes

[summer vault]

Is this where all the goobers are at?

[steady ledge]

always.

[deep maple]

most of the content in D2 is pretty repetitive ngl

WARFRAME***

big typo

[steady ledge]

people who complain about asset reuse in d2 would EXPLODE if they played warframe

the very concept of tilesets...

[deep maple]

A.) Run around the map and kill all the enemies and get to the end of the stage
B.) Survival

[quaint garnet]

you say that but then look at games like Warframe which is just wayyyyyyyy more grindy come on

[subtle rune]

Destiny 3 opening mission will have the presage garbage section rehashed.

[waxen sail]

man im light level 10

[deep maple]

i meant warframe

[onyx sinew]

some thing for d2 though, d2 is a looter shooter youre supposed to farm activities

[deep maple]

atleast with D2 there’s plenty of repetition

warframe just feels the same grind

[onyx sinew]

true

warframe is afk xp farm

[tepid oyster]

Warframe is way grindier indeed but D2’s grind is also generally more fun

[summer vault]

Don't all live service games reuse assets to some extent?

[steady ledge]

what if the thrallway was the whole game

[deep maple]

it’s endgame is just how high ur damage numbers can get and fashionframe

[quaint garnet]

yes but D2 nailed in how long you have to farm to get stuff where Warframe has wayyyyy to long even doing daily caps on stuff to keep you playing.

[steady ledge]

yes, which is why the criticism of it is silly

[deep maple]

warframe is just onslaught and thrallway

[fleet furnace]

i've never minded asset reuse tbh (i'm a yakuza fan)

[tepid oyster]

Ehh at least Warframe has really good cosmetics lol. I mean sure it costs money but otherwise ya warframe’s endgame is just the infinity grind for better gear and higher damage numbers

[deep maple]

why is your game reusing angry bird assets

[summer vault]

You know what, they should remake assets for every single dreg so they can all be unique, clearly.

[fierce hamlet]

I am not that mad about reusing assets it’s way better than something like World of Warcraft has done and has made all their new assets just worse quality

[deep maple]

i used to play warframe before destiny came out

but felt it got boring fast

[fleet furnace]

i didn't even know they did that

[near tinsel]

isnt d1 older than history itself

[subtle rune]

Halo remake remake uses infinite assets does it not?

[tepid oyster]

Destiny has done way worse shit than reusing assets lol like on disk DLC. Re using assets is not as bad as people make it out to be usually

[near tinsel]

during ancient times of pharaohs they played d1

[deep maple]

they used the theme in the pirate game

[waxen sail]

now that sunsetting isnt a thing anymore is there any static roled weapons worth pulling out the collections

[summer vault]

Y'all calling it ancient when WOW is still around

[steady ledge]

warframe is imo best played on and off, if you play nothing but warframe you'll run out of things to do fast

[deep maple]

do you think the pharaohs used self-rezz

[deep maple]

humble runescape:

[tepid oyster]

I completely agree I go back to the game for about 100-200 hours every 2 years and have a lot of fun every time

[steady ledge]

arent there mmos that predate wow, even

[near tinsel]

pharaoh ran warlock build clearly

[fierce hamlet]

Yeah most games will make “newer” assets but they will just be a block of nothing no cool details to them kinda like all the suros weapons they r so boring

[steady ledge]

im not a big mmorpg guy

[manic yoke]

cleopatra was tearing up year 1 d1 with mythoclast

[summer vault]

yep

[near tinsel]

not big ones

[summer vault]

Runescape as someone earlier said

[deep maple]

do you think the ancient pharaohs participated in laser tag?

[near tinsel]

WoW is first big mmo

runescape was

its own thing

it had niche community same as now

[deep maple]

how did wizard101 last longer than our games

gta 5 came out before D1

[fierce hamlet]

I mean there were definitely other mmos but none touched wow in numbers

[near tinsel]

wiat

what

no

[deep maple]

2013

D1 came out 2014

[near tinsel]

what the fuck

d1 is 2014

??

[deep maple]

yea

[near tinsel]

it feels so long ago

that it came out

bruh

[manic yoke]

bc it is lol

[near tinsel]

no like

you dont understand

i played 1

d1

when i was a kid

1st year primary school

[deep maple]

GTA 5 - 2013
D1 - 2014
D2 - 2017
GTA 6 - 2026???

[near tinsel]

im going to college

this year

and d2 js got done for

[storm bane]

177 days until gta 6

[near tinsel]

it feels so long

[manic yoke]

dayum I think I was 9 when it came out

[near tinsel]

from when i started playing d1

[near tinsel]

i was 7

[deep maple]

I was 12 when D1 came out, i’m 24 now 😭

[near tinsel]

js got first pc from my brother

who went to live on his own

and he had d1

so i played it alot

cause i didnt wanna bothe rh im to install me shit

[storm bane]

I started in April 2015 good god

[near tinsel]

i js started playing d2 tho

[deep maple]

i started when TTK came out

[near tinsel]

i mean i played for some time durin gbeyond light but

i gave up

[manic yoke]

legendary time to start

[storm bane]

GTA 6 was SUPPOSED to release today

[manic yoke]

maaan gta 6 gonna flop

I can feel it

[dawn meadow]

Holy old

[summer vault]

There's no way it flops

[near tinsel]

brother

everyone and their grandma

will buy t

even those who cant run it

cause atp it isnt a game

everyone will larp gta

[manic yoke]

yeah I’m buying that shit too but I feel like it gonna flop

[summer vault]

It's like a minions movie.

I'm not saying that in terms of quality, but its going to sell like hotcakes on name recognition alone.

[near tinsel]

but it will die out fast

cause

nobody actually cares

abt gta

lol

its gun and ball gamers that play it and that sit

we can all agree gta aint allat since after san andreas

[devout glen]

“Nobody actually cares”
And you’re talking about GTA

[summer vault]

People are coming out with the weirdest takes

[devout glen]

Mediocre bait

[near tinsel]

no no

like

i said it wrong

[manic yoke]

son

[summer vault]

yeah, these are some stinky takes

[near tinsel]

gta is like cod

[summer vault]

How

[devout glen]

Disgustingly mediocre bait

[near tinsel]

in terms of everyone plays it but nobody actually cares abt it

[manic yoke]

man wtf u saying 😂

[devout glen]

Cook it a bit longer

[torn plaza]

m hungry

[near tinsel]

cod sucks shit since who knows how long and everyone buys it for some space reasons

which i dont have explanation for

it exists on name alone

and that sit

games aint allat

[summer vault]

Yeah no, I don't even like GTA and can see these are just horrendously out of touch takes.

[near tinsel]

imo its same with gta

each to their own

[torn plaza]

gonna have cereal

cheerios

[near tinsel]

gl

[deep maple]

i’m older than cloud striders

[deep maple]

[near tinsel]

anyone wanna play destiny 2

[turbid pond]

I need help picking out my weapons cuz I started literally 3 days ago

[wintry silo]

So I got my titan and warlock where everything is working, the builds feel great... but what is with hunter? It just feels so lackluster in comparison

[turbid pond]

I'm hunter

[wintry silo]

oh no lol

[turbid pond]

?

[near tinsel]

same

coolest class

[turbid pond]

It's just none of my weapons suit it

[wintry silo]

I agree, but unless I am missing something, it just seems way outclassed right now

[near tinsel]

idk

im new

to d2

at least

[turbid pond]

I'm r5 and it seems pretty powerful for the fact of movement and avoiding

Prob doesn't have the highest DPS

@near tinsel what's ur rank?

[near tinsel]

uhh

2?

idk if thats the rank lowk

[turbid pond]

Yea

[near tinsel]

i talked to the tree once

and started glowing

[turbid pond]

U wanna team

[near tinsel]

sure

leme finish studying

and we can play

[formal kite]

You should probably see a doctor about that.

[turbid pond]

Alr

[near tinsel]

did alr cause apparently gun jammed isnt valid excuse for being late to the class the other day

🤷

[near tinsel]

hit you up in like 15 mins

add me on steam

[turbid pond]

Alr

[turbid pond]

Gothu

I'm new to PC but I wouldnt say I'm bad

[subtle rune]

Where meme God at

Him and his bad takes

[formal cipher]

So d2 will be kept up like d1 is

[subtle rune]

Yes

[charred axle]

yeah

[dense lodge]

The only way I see this petition thing and player spike thing working is if that player spike is consistent for the forseeable future to atleast resemble triple the player count of what we have now. A big spike and a big decline won't look good.

[near tinsel]

@turbid pondlets go

you wanna vc?

[dense lodge]

Imma get my math teacher to get on on June 9th. He played D2 alot back in the day

[turbid pond]

Yea call me

[near tinsel]

called you

i hav elke 5 hours on d2 so like

dont judge

i hav eno idea what shappening

ahaha

[normal frigate]

Do blind raids with him

Let him figure stuff out

[turbid pond]

I don't see it

[near tinsel]

man i want witch dlc

but idh money

for it

[manic yoke]

tell ur math teacher to 1v1 me

[near tinsel]

i wanna do cowboy dungeon

:(

[stoic stag]

that one doesnt give the dungeon

[near tinsel]

free dlcs that you got on epic didnt igve you dungeon keys

[normal frigate]

It will be like 2-5 euros

[stoic stag]

the dungeon key for witch queen does

[near tinsel]

yeah and ineed 20 dollars

for that

[formal cipher]

Honestly they should've released the ash and order then alchemist let the reaction to those be a barometer on if the support for D2 would be pulled

[storm bane]

D2 the collection will have the dungeon keys I’m pretty sure

[near tinsel]

how much will that cost

[storm bane]

Don’t know yet

[near tinsel]

whats the difference between raid and a dungeon btw

[near tinsel]

can i somehow get that for less than 20 dollars?

[dawn meadow]

raid is a 6 man dungeon

dungeon is a 3 man dungeon

[near tinsel]

ookay

[fresh scroll]

That’s just not how it would work though

[normal frigate]

Unless you are very very sigma

[dawn meadow]

Unless you're in ron

Its a 1 man dungeon

[normal frigate]

Or that

[near tinsel]

dungeon keys cost 20 bu cks right?

[normal frigate]

I saw someone solo queens walk

[near tinsel]

2k silver

[normal frigate]

With a glitch

[dense lodge]

What?

[normal frigate]

There will surely be a deal including it

[dense lodge]

Fuh naw🥀

[normal frigate]

Do raids with him without telling him the mechanics

[dense lodge]

Wait for the collection on june 9th

Hum?

Him

[formal cipher]

It would atleast give them a better idea if they flopped then sorry we tried instead of automatically throwing stuff at marathon which is worse off than d2 was

[dense lodge]

Fuh naw

He aint dumb bro🥀

[manic yoke]

put him into master SE solo flawless

[dense lodge]

Why afe you telling me this

What even is SE

[storm bane]

Salvation’s Edge

[manic yoke]

He needs the experience right

nice easy activities

[dense lodge]

Ah ok

He played D2 during like the witch queen

I think he'll be ok

[manic yoke]

he is absolutely ready for solo flawless salvations edge

[dense lodge]

?

[dense lodge]

No he is not bro

[thorn plank]

Freehold??? Valus Taur'uc??????

[dense lodge]

"Solo flawless" sooooon😭😭😭😭

[maiden meadow]

Marathon is now going to be their main source of income for the foreseeable future. Not throwing money at it would just make Bungie suffer more, which in turn would starting axing chances of any Destiny 3.

[manic yoke]

He’s got this in tha bag have some faith in tha big math teacha yo

[dense lodge]

The only way I see this petition thing and player spike thing working is if that player spike is consistent for the forseeable future to atleast resemble triple the player count of what we have now. A big spike and a big decline won't look good.

[manic yoke]

kiss the money goodbye

[dense lodge]

I do but a solo flawless raid gng🥀😭

[maiden meadow]

Won't matter either way

If the player count somehow manages to break the all-time peak of like 3.5 million (spoiler, it won't) then maybe the petition and idea stands a better chance.

[dense lodge]

I think it will leave the Destiny franchise open for consideration.

[maiden meadow]

There was already going to be a spike in count anyway due to them finally adding new content after months

[dense lodge]

If they can show a consistent 50k mininum player count which is more than triple what we have now according to Steam DB I think we will be fine

[maiden meadow]

There probably already is a consistent 50k minimum

If not higher

Across all platforms

[dense lodge]

On steam I've only seen like 10k tho

[maiden meadow]

And?

We're also talking about Sony who can most certainly internally track player counts on their platform

[dense lodge]

Yeah I gueds

[maiden meadow]

They're not just going to solely rely on whatever the fuck Steam Charts says

[dense lodge]

Ik

But still

[sinful terrace]

I mean destiny has been more of a console game no?

[dense lodge]

How else am I supposed to track em

[maiden meadow]

Don't

[dark dirge]

Has been

[hybrid zealot]

Yeah, bungie didnt even develop the pc side of things iirc, that was the activision support studios doing

[maiden meadow]

Not once have I only considered playing a game off player counts

[sinful terrace]

The only games I’d consider high player count as a requirement are like

Cod games

[unborn oar]

Management killed Destiny

[sinful terrace]

But they’re dogshit now so

[unborn oar]

Wtf

Why did that just load lmao

I sent that at like 4 hours ago

[dense lodge]

I dont think i've implied that I do. I was talking abt in regards to Sony

[dense lodge]

What loaded?

[dense lodge]

This?

[unborn oar]

Yeah

[maiden meadow]

The execs do need to whine over numbers, because that's all they're good for

[clear mist]

Are all the exotic missions in pinnacle ops portal section

Or is there more

I wanna get them done by today

[maiden meadow]

Two of them aren't: Operation: Seraph's Shield for Revision Zero and Zero Hour for Outbreak Perfected. Those two are only in the Legends node. The rest are in the portal.

And, technically, Fire & Ice for the Praxic Blade is in a different section of the portal and Dual Destiny for the class items is in the Pale Heart.

[vivid spade]

What’s y’all’s biggest cope for the June 9th patch based on what we’ve been told about it so far

Mine is that the sandbox will be reeled back into a more reasonable space that isn’t just buddy spam and mint/parasite lol

[maiden meadow]

The return of the only good gamemode ever: Fishing

[formal cipher]

So what do they do if marathon goes belly up

[vivid spade]

“if”

[maiden meadow]

Switch to one of their incubation projects or just fold as a company

[vivid spade]

Imagine a reality where they’re looking at their incubation projects and they’re like “We gotta just pick one of these and get started on making it before we go under”
And they pick some shit that isn’t Destiny lol

[azure thunder]

I want to like marathon. But it’s not going to make the cut.

The pve content coming was, clearly thrown together and wasn’t planned. It’s going to be very bare bones, the game director was so against it even, but has to do it due to low player count and PlayStation strong arming them.

The live service space is so much more competitive and crowded, compared to something like 2014 when Destiny launched.

[hard pulsar]

because marathon is not and shouldn't be a pve game

[onyx sinew]

extraction shooters have no danger otherwise

[formal kite]

Been five days and we're still talking about this.

[sinful terrace]

Pve only in extraction shooters is fine as long as the loot you get from it is 75% less quality and quantity

[clear mist]

I done all the ones in the legends

[maiden meadow]

Red, they're going to be on this for a while

[vivid spade]

There still isn’t a game that fills the void of Destiny and there isn’t really anyone who can do it but Bungie at this point in time

[maiden meadow]

The middle one between Whisper and Zero Hour rotates every week on Tuesday at 1700 UTC.

[hard pulsar]

tbh i haven't played any other extraction shooters but marathon feels like its entirely built around the pvp

[vivid spade]

Live service may be crowded but if there’s a niche to be filled it’s Destiny-like gameplay

You’re not gonna get a Destiny experience out of Warframe or Division

[hard pulsar]

we will be talking about this until june 9

[formal cipher]

Bit extreme when they still got destiny they can salvage and work on while making a D3 and atleast give some small content drops heck let byf write the stories

[hard pulsar]

and probably later

[sinful terrace]

The little amount I played of marathon, I felt a lot more threatened by the ai enemies than players but that was only cause it was the free weekend they did before release

[formal cipher]

Destiny is one of a kind

[hard pulsar]

"let byf write the stories" 😭

[sinful crag]

GUYS D3 IS HAPPENING

[hard pulsar]

it does for like

the first 10 hours or so

[onyx sinew]

not*

[azure thunder]

Tarkov has pve, and it’s way more hardcore than marathon.

One of Marathon’s biggest issue is it launched with just one singular game mode for a big budget aaa game. It’s like when halo infinite launched and was missing forge and so many key game modes.

[hard pulsar]

and then the bots start fulfilling their intended purpose of being a nuisance that drains your resources and makes noise

[sinful crag]

is*

[ripe sparrow]

In ur dreams yes

[sinful crag]

huffing on that hopium

[hard pulsar]

its an extraction shooter not cod or halo

it doesnt need "game modes"

[onyx sinew]

go play fortnite if you want gamemodes

[formal kite]

Fortnite battlepass

[ripe sparrow]

Roblox even better, they even recreated Vault of Glass

[hard pulsar]

they set out to do something very specific and did it very well

[fresh kraken]

Cough

[onyx sinew]

as if VoG is a good thing

[azure thunder]

It clearly did and does. Marathon isn’t a small budget game from a small studio

[formal kite]

[azure thunder]

It’s not hunt showdown

[maiden meadow]

That last would be a terrible idea. Bungie is still worth at least like 2 billion or something so they're not going to sink in a few seconds after end of service. But they're also not going to hold out for a long time if Marathon is their only thing. So they hope that their incubation projects succeed and if they do well, then maybe they'll get the money needed. But that still requires actually supporting them instead of just choosing not to out of stubbornness because whatever they're doing isn't Destiny for the first time in a decade.

[ripe sparrow]

On Roblox is crazy actually

[onyx sinew]

byf just reads lore books

[hard pulsar]

right back- no, left- no right front, left back right front

[azure thunder]

Anyone saying marathon is fine, and no pve is the same nonsense we saw with Xdefiant.

[maiden meadow]

Who?

[azure thunder]

You need casual players for a big budget aaa live service game.

[vivid spade]

I feel like the main issue I have with Marathon is the predictability of the gameplay loop. In my mind, the hallmark of an extraction shooter is the tension, and I can’t be tense if I know that everyone in the map has the exact same goal every game

[hard pulsar]

but they don't

[ripe sparrow]

I hate people that use these types of callouts, just say 1,2..6 easy

123 back 456 front simple

[maiden meadow]

casuals

[hard pulsar]

there's contracts, keys, events, wardens

[maiden meadow]

I use the Fibonacci sequence

[formal cipher]

We got really creative like continents as the locations worked out

[ripe sparrow]

Someone once got lost in words and said front back 😭

[hard pulsar]

is that where oryx spawns 😭

[vivid spade]

All of those things come secondary to killing everyone else in the map first so someone else doesn’t kill you while you’re trying to do what you actually came there to do.

If you play the game trying to ignore the BR phase you’re gambling with the lobby RNG

[ripe sparrow]

😭 😭

[vivid spade]

Like if I wanna open pinwheel red room I’m not even going to attempt it unless I already know I killed 2 of the 3 teams on the map

[worthy trellis]

what if the june 9th update does crazy good? will they just leave it dead even if its their top performing game? doesnt make sense to me 😭

[hard pulsar]

thats a you problem tbh

[wintry silo]

holy shit they buffed my bb darci so hard hell yea

[maiden meadow]

It's not going to break any kind of playercount records

[clear mist]

BROTHER WHAT IS THIS PARKOUR

[ripe sparrow]

They will rewrite The Final Shape and make The Witness win

[vivid spade]

How is that a me problem that’s objectively the more consistent way to play the game lol you’re delusional

[clear mist]

I USED ALL 3 revives on this parkour

[maiden meadow]

Jump good

[hybrid zealot]

how about anteriodextral/anteriocentral/anteriosinistral and posterodextral/posterocentral/posterosinistral

[azure thunder]

The sponsored kit modes are half baked too.

It’s apex legends at home, and warzone lite. But those games actually do what they are supposed to well, and people actually play them.

[ripe sparrow]

Lemme guess Warlock jump?

[worthy trellis]

well def not launch but if it performed really well i dont see why they would stand by on pulling the plug on a moneymaker

[maiden meadow]

Too coordinated. That's why Fibonacci works: 1 1 2 3 5 8...

[clear mist]

Nah hunter put I have stick drift and it’s in this thin platform

I’m fighting my stick drift

Whilst tryna parkour

[formal kite]

Remember when we didn't have stick drift?

[maiden meadow]

June 9 is also a free update. They're not making any money off of it.

[formal kite]

What happened to us?

[runic ravine]

yo anyone want to run crucible

[vivid spade]

“I’m just gonna load in outpost and go get all red keys and beeline pinwheel to fight everyone at the same time instead of hunting people down first so that I don’t get ganked 3 times in a row”

[runic ravine]

i got a tm8

[azure thunder]

They don’t know what they are doing with marathon, if they did it wouldn’t be sitting at like 11,000 peak daily users just two months after release.

[fresh scroll]

[maiden meadow]

In fact, they're going to be making less money because they're putting everything on sale

[formal kite]

Someone isn't confident in Eververse sales.

[worthy trellis]

you dont think the bundle will attract a worthwhile amount of purchases?

[sinful terrace]

Skyrim reference

[formal kite]

Also the season pass.

[azure thunder]

Even Warframe when it struggled early on back in 2014-2015 had higher numbers than that.

[hard pulsar]

clearly they don't know what they're doing

[maiden meadow]

Yeah bro, I forgot to account for all the Bright Dust we can now purchase for real money

[hard pulsar]

they've only listened to everything the community had to say

[maiden meadow]

I don't even think the entire lifespan of Eververse has outsold any expansion

[onyx sinew]

everything will be available in EV remember

[sinful terrace]

There’s a 50/50 chance

It might or it might not

[maiden meadow]

Is that an exaggeration?

[onyx sinew]

no

go read twid

unless im misremembering but im pretty sure thats what they said

[zenith isle]

alr guys what we gonna play after this

[hard pulsar]

now that destiny is gone can we have "twab" back but for marathon

[maiden meadow]

ew

[high cloud]

how are the d3 copers doing today

[maiden meadow]

Hit 2011 mobile video game DragonVale

[zenith isle]

I started metro 2033 last night

I am in da tunnels

[azure thunder]

I’ve been playing Re Requiem and RE4 remake

[balmy field]

man i've been in a coma for ten years im so looking forward to playing destiny again

[ripe sparrow]

Fine they already announced that Xivu Arath is coming soon and also prepare for The Traveler, it is once again going to be hunted

[azure thunder]

It’s cool to see single player games having a renaissance. And new live service games absolutely flop and or struggle. Like marathon.

[high cloud]

what

[zenith isle]

guh

[ripe sparrow]

Yeah its cool, also new raids are yet to be announced for Destiny 3 but still we will never ever get it, its kinda over

[azure thunder]

PlayStation “learned” the hard way, you just can’t magically make Fortnite, apex, gta online type games like it’s nothing.

[high cloud]

no end to the larp

me when i make things up

[zenith isle]

They’re acting like concord never happened lmao

[ripe sparrow]

Nah bro its insane how I managed to ragebait someone this easily

😭

[clear mist]

For this much anger this heliostat mission has caused me

It best give me a exotic that makes me a hive god

[azure thunder]

The Jim Ryan/Herman Hullust live service push has been one of the biggest disasters ever. It’s like Disney Star Wars, but even worse lol.

[fresh kraken]

Heloooooouuuu

[fresh scroll]

I’m pretty sure Wolfsbane is actually supposed to be a strong exotic

[azure thunder]

But the sad part is, they didn’t make any of the games people actually wanted. Like Destiny 3, last of us factions online, socom reboot etc

[zenith isle]

Guys question: can I still call myself a destiny fan, even though I never bought the last 2 expansions bc I heard they were mid?

[azure thunder]

Imagine getting Destiny 3 or a socom game to be an alternative to rainbow six siege. Instead of concord or fair games

[clear mist]

If u heard renegades is mid it’s just those guys who hate Star Wars in destiny 2

[mellow aspen]

be real

[zenith isle]

dude I’m so real

[torn plaza]

I haven’t played since heresy but I feel like beyond objective game design stuff like the portal a lot of the complaints are just people being nerds

[azure thunder]

It’s funny how Luke smith was crying about Destiny EOS. When he was one of the biggest reasons for the game’s decline, and so much content is lost to the ether.

[maiden meadow]

Pete Parsons did far more damage than Luke Smith

[azure thunder]

F that dude. The DCV was and still is the biggest black mark on Destiny ever. It made sure new and returning players couldn’t jump in properly, and the game couldn’t cycle in new fans.

and gave the game the negative stigma of “isn’t destiny that game that took away content people paid for?”

[stoic stag]

the DCV was unavoidable

it was unacceptable, and deeply upsetting

[zenith isle]

like thanos

[stoic stag]

but unavoidable

[maiden meadow]

Hi Uke! 👋

[stoic stag]

hello squid!

[azure thunder]

It’s called making D3 instead of trying to make Destiny into apex legends and a forever game.

[mellow aspen]

weren’t the 2 options delay BL another 3-6 months

or vault content

[zenith isle]

New server profile who dis

[torn plaza]

Are people really still bringing up Luke

[mellow aspen]

and one of those was simply more cost effective

yeah

[azure thunder]

They tried to milk destiny 2 forever and it clearly bit them in the ass

[torn plaza]

Is that a bit or what

[mellow aspen]

lul

[stoic stag]

..what?

[torn plaza]

Why

[stoic stag]

id recommend you read up on the DCV

[torn plaza]

[mellow aspen]

cuz Luke smith killed bungie in 2026

[torn plaza]

Nah totally bungie did it on purpose to spite me specifically

[stoic stag]

this is beyond my scope to explain as you appear to fundamentally misunderstand several things.

[azure thunder]

Ff14, wow, and eso never deleted content

[torn plaza]

There was no physical reason for the DCV to exist mmhm yeah

[azure thunder]

And guess what those games are still running

[stoic stag]

ok yeah so you definitely did not understand

[azure thunder]

Unavoidable pfft lol

[stoic stag]

go read up on it, then come back

[zenith isle]

idek what the dcv is

[torn plaza]

Did they have that content all developed by different studios and therefore did not own any of the code for it

[stoic stag]

its beyond my scope to explain because im stupid

[torn plaza]

Cause like

[dawn meadow]

Waltzie

[hard pulsar]

yes and they deleted all those files permanently

[dawn meadow]

How we doin

What do you think of my cat

[hard pulsar]

did you not see the red war lawsuit

[torn plaza]

Is that your cat

[stoic stag]

during BL a portion of the game was "vaulted"

[dawn meadow]

Yes!

[torn plaza]

That is a cool cat

[zenith isle]

ahhhh that

[dawn meadow]

Thank you <3

[stoic stag]

due to the engine needing to be updated and some stuff reworked

[ripe sparrow]

“Deleted”

[stoic stag]

and recoding everything would take a lot of manpower, money, and time that wasnt an acceptable delay

[torn plaza]

I enjoy these talks veno

[stoic stag]

iirc some stuff vaulted isnt deleted? but most is yes

[vivid spade]

Yeah it was unavoidable because Bungie didn’t build their game to support 10 years of content and they expected to move onto a new game by then

[torn plaza]

Unlike the talks I have with that uke guy

[ripe sparrow]

90% of the important stuff were deleted

[stoic stag]

i get that a lot

[stoic stag]

ye

[torn plaza]

Oh god here comes jongo

[onyx sinew]

they said in the lawsuit that they have everything, they just cant do anything with it because its outdated code

[stoic stag]

it was initially intentionally built to fail long term by Activision

[torn plaza]

Hide your non meta options

[maiden meadow]

No one is going to be able to Toy Story 2 the Forsaken to Red War content

[hard pulsar]

nothing was deleted

its just not possible to use it in the current engine

[zenith isle]

[torn plaza]

I’m tired

Someone say something funny

[azure thunder]

Somehow activison wanting destiny to make a new game every few years, was the right call. But nope the apologists still defend Bungie for the DCV. As the titanic is sinking and the band is still playing.

[stoic stag]

im getting conflicting information but my head hurts too much

[ripe sparrow]

Its Bungie, they could just be lying for the lawsuit

[zenith isle]

gunga

[azure thunder]

You still have this dude saying it was “unavoidable” lol

[stoic stag]

im sorry to have agitated you

this was not the intention.

[hard pulsar]

"its bungie so clearly the most logical option is wrong and theyre lying"

[ripe sparrow]

Outdated code is a good “i can escape from the situation” auh

[maiden meadow]

Mr. DCV expert, Mr. DCV expert! Why did they do this again?

[torn plaza]

It’s not defending it’s just people who keep literally spreading misinformation about it

[vivid spade]

Their move if they were absolute set to remove content for beyond light should’ve been a temporary one, and eventually everything would be built into one cohesive experience

I have no idea how they managed to make money for the last 6 years removing 4 seasons worth on content every expansion that they spent who knows how much developing

[torn plaza]

It’s so annoying

[azure thunder]

Like they couldn’t just have made Destiny 3 earlier. Instead of all these failed projects, and milking Destiny 2

[torn plaza]

I literally just don’t care about it

[opaque sundial]

other mmos like world of warcraft and phantasy star online 2 have no problems with continuing for 10+ years

[torn plaza]

Am I supposed to be upset I can’t fight the rifleman anymore

I hate that guy

[clear mist]

Is it the sword master set that looks like a ninja

[torn plaza]

He’s ugly

[stoic stag]

hey now, im ugly too, do you hate me too?

[azure thunder]

But yeah the “DCV was totally necessary” as games even older than Destiny are still running and are successful

[torn plaza]

Yeah but for different reasons

[azure thunder]

Like Warframe

[opaque sundial]

if it were an available option it would absolutely have been preferable for everything to have been in one game

[stoic stag]

alright alright i take back my statement, i said im sorry

[torn plaza]

Who gives a toot tbh

[stoic stag]

i genuinely did not mean to make you angry

[hybrid zealot]

did you forget the travesty that was d2y1 tho

[ripe sparrow]

It was the file size man

[torn plaza]

As everyone knows everyone was super happy about D2 not carrying over any inventories

[hybrid zealot]

at the exact time it happened, it was necessary

[hard pulsar]

that wasnt an argument they used it literally hurt their case

[ripe sparrow]

Destiny 2 with 200 giga the players wouldve gone crazy over it

[torn plaza]

Remind me again the length of time that happened between D2 release and beyond light

[stoic stag]

aw

i mean fair

[maiden meadow]

Poor fools never do their research 😔

[stoic stag]

but aw
