i am a bit hopefull while being fully shocked at the same time. good thing, they finally decided to listen to their audience and actually react to it so that the audience can see it.. (well at least what Bungie thinks are valid representatives for their audience ) BUT: after 3 years of "we are listening" they still are presenting dev ideas where those community "representatives" say unanimously "nah thanks thats not what we need".? really? after 3 years of really violent forced feedback from a very explicit community with now THREE community managers which only job it is to collect feedback, talk to the community and make the devs aware of the trends and likes and dislikes, they still come up with those ideas that are simply out of touch? how ? plus: how is it possible that Mtashed was able to create those waves with that comment? This should have been canon knowledge from the ceo to the janitor of the company.. this "apart from once there is no incentive to play any PvE activity since there is no desireable loot " - is the mantra for D2. speaking of Knowledge: i hope myelin had some influence over the narrative and story told in D2 (or better the lack thereof, narrative is NOT storytelling.. for narrative you have a description whats going on, for story you will have background and flashbacks.. basically everyloretab on one of the raid weapons should have had at least a stop motion scene in game at the apropriate time..so that you can a) experience the story and b.) get some anticipation for more.. imagine if we would have a DLC with all of calus journey and all of calus asassins in pictures and short cutscenes and then when it slowly comes to the nine, we get some teasers and some hints.not more.. the anticiaption would drive players into wamting more.. but i fear, what i have seen, the current story writers in Destiny do not even know the bqckground of the nine, calus, the reef, the darkness, or what everelse was createcomd in game.. i think all that backlore was lost when joe staten left the company.. and the new direction of turning brother vence into that claptrap fanboi and having seasoned and expectedly WISE characters battle each other like little girls on a playground in the comic is frightening.. cayde was fun in taken king because the situation was severe and everyone was focused and the exact opposite of lighthearted and funny.. turning everyone into wanting to make the audience laugh will have the Amy Schumer effect.. it just stops to be funny at some point..
