Lets compare the state of the game to a cookie.
The fan base asked for a larger and longer lasting cookie at which point Bungie decided to take this cookie and feed it to us bit by bit while ensuring that it's stale and takes forever to chew. We are expected to believe that each piece of Cookie is special but it's only ever a minor tweak on their already existing recipe of Grind, Hype and Reworked Horde modes that never compare to how amazing Prison of Elders use to be. I've stayed with the franchise because of the nostalgia left from D1, and because every once in a while Bungie bakes a cookie that's at least edible. At this point though D2s grind is ridiculous and the seasonal activities all feel like reworks of things they've already tried. And this cookie, if not eaten by the end of the season is thrown out and replaced with yet another recipe that only has minor tweaks and restarts the chewing process of this hard stale cookie all over again.
We don't want your stale hard to chew cookie.
We want Curry, some thing spiceful and full of life. We want narratives that feel connected and that have proper endings, we want new interesting content that surprises us and innovates the way we play, we want some thing to breath new life back into this franchise. The next Big DLC needs to blow our minds or you will loose mass qaunties of players and you might never get us back. Make the game feel like fresh spicy Curry not an old stale cookie that feels like work just to chew.
You've so much Lore to build good narratives upon, so much potential in terms of level design or new types of enemies. If only you would try harder. There is so much you could do with the Drifter and the Vanguard, I wouldn't mind a faction war similar to WoW. Gambit is a good base to build similar PvEvP content upon. We need things like more adventures on every location, ally npcs wandering the patrol zones that give out the patrols instead of batons, make the world feel more immersive and lived in, we need more Strikes and a large scale vendor refresh that updates every vendors inventory and makes each of them feel relevant.
Destiny 2 is capable of being much more than a stale cookie that no one wants to chew, it could be a flavorful Curry with Lamb and Naan.
Now I'm hungry Darn it all. (begrudgingly chews her cookie.)

Edited by LordCastle: 4/17/2020 6:46:41 PMWhy does D2 have to be a flavorful curry with lamb and naan. Why not a well done steak with mashed potatoes and corn. 🤤

Dip the cookie in the milk
-
There’s no reason to grind anymore once you hit 1025. The GM NF is capped at 1025 so no need to go higher.
-
Exact same game.. 3 times . In D1 atleast the loot could be different . D2 is a dumpster fire

Have you seen Luke Smith? Have you seen the Cookie Monster? In the same room together? Coincidence? You decide

Edited by MONKEYGOTRABIES: 4/19/2020 11:42:29 AMHate to break it to you, but that's not a stale cookie, it's flat, sun-dried dog diarrhea. It's a frequent misconception.
-
It's why I'm playing much better games right now and enjoying watching D2 burn as it should've long before now.

[quote]We don't want your stale hard to chew cookie.[/quote] Then you get nothing. Because that's what we got BEFORE Seasons started. We got an expansion in the fall...and then basically nothing (except Trials, Iron Banner, and Holiday events) for the rest of the year. Once again---like everyone who complains about Seasons----you're acting as if Seasons REPLACED DLC. It didn't. The only time we got DLCs like Warmind or Curse of Osiris...was in the years Bungie was dropping a $60 full game on us. Bungie doesn't have the ability to make both an expansion AND DLC in the same year. So its either Seasonal content.....or content drought. Those are the options.

Dip it in milk, it helps. As for Destiny, well, dip it in gasoline I guess
-
Sylok! ...the Defiled
-
I wouldn't even call it a grind because usually a grind has a worthwhile reward. While this is just wasted time for nothing of real value in the game.
-
Wait a minute [spoiler]is the cookie chocolate chip? Because I'll still eat it [/spoiler]
-
They should bring back prison of elders, sure they will get berated for recycling content but at least it's good content.
-
-
More like a stale oatmeal cookie
-
Just had curry for breakfast... This lockdown isn't doing my diet any favors.
-
Yeah, but sometimes they add some wierd platforming puzzle crap, like look under the barrel, all 5 people turn in the magic ring, unlock the door and THEN get the cookie. Not good Bungie, not good.
-
I think it's more like the piece of beef in the Chinese food that you chew on for over a minute and begin questioning its origin.

-
Also new bounties are not new activities either bungie. Neither are new difficulties. Making something harder, is not making it new Additional/different enemies to an old map whilst novel is also not new. And nothing is still fun after the 500th time in a week.
-
Idk what cookie you have been eating but I sure as hell don’t want to eat a spicy cookie lol. I get what you are saying though and I totally agree, I just had to laugh a bit with the comparisons
-
Honestly what harm comes from giving more loot more often. Far better for people to leave the game fulfilled than disappointed.
-
Grind is what you fill your game with when it doesn't have substance. You can't even play the story without grinding in between missions. Let alone replaying the story without sacrificing a goat.
-
I was with you UNITILL you said "build on Gambit", that's where I stopped. Gambit is Cancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
