I've given up on Destiny. At least for now. Maybe I'll play again sometime down the road, but for now, meh. Who cares. I'm sick of Bungo's bizarre handling of the community. Silence, followed by obscurity, followed by more slience, with a dash of code language thrown in for good measure. Nothing substantive. No meat. No there there. Crimson Douchebags, who cares. I really couldn't give a flying damn about this event. It's actually insulting that this all they have to offer, this far down the road. Why wasn't there a TTK part two in the pipeline? I would have expected that by now there would have already been a follow-on DLC with a new raid and some new strikes by now. But nope. Nothin. Same old shit. And I guess I've come to the point where I just don't really care anymore.

  • I haven't played since October, maybe early November I believe. It's -blam!-ing great. The reason there's no dlc, or TTK part 2 (if people remember the weekly updates, they'll remember deej saying TTK was just the first part, or something like that) is because they realized they have about a year to release Destiny 2. Seriously. All the DLC up to this point has been worked on just after the release of the previous one. Yes they had the most of ground work done (it was all content that was supposed to be in vanilla), but still needed finishing. There is no way was these incompetent idiots could dish out 2 more DLC's and a sequel lol. It's sad though how much bad decision making has come from these people.

  • The problem goes way back to before launch. Bungie went into a massive internal upheaval before year 1 launch, the evidence of that has been extensively shown for a long time now. Destiny was forced to undergo radical changes less than a year before release, and we are still feeling the effects of that. It's painfully obvious that the plan they were working on back in the Halo ODST days got scrapped at some point. The problem is that they were essentially forced into a development cycle that they are far too small to handle. The leaked roadmap showed that it was supposed to be a sustained release schedule of the level we saw in year 1. The expectations they set in year 1 were far too high for what their actual capabilities were, and it ended up a recipe for disappointment. Somewhere along the line both Bungie and Activision had to face the reality that they had designed themselves into a corner. After TDB it was pretty obvious that they could not keep going at that pace without releasing a half baked buggy mess. Even before that, there were plenty of videos showing most of the DLC 1 and 2 areas were already in the game, some even had placeholder spawns, and they still struggled for time. The way it feels to me right now is that after TTK dropped they probably had another internal conflict about whether to develop more expansions or go straight for Destiny 2. The fact that we have heard absolutely nothing about this on official channels makes me feel that they have no idea wtf to do, and its hurting them every day. Bungie devs are some of the best, most talented people that have ever built console games, but the organization supporting them is a decaying husk. The best thing they could do at this point is just admit that the entire situation is FUBAR and rebuild Bungie, as an organization, from the ground up. Even the best devs in the world can't make a good game if they don't know what the hell they are supposed to be building in the first place.
