Going from 3 raids and 3 dungeons per year down to 1 each sounds not good.

No? We're going from 1 raid, 2 dungeons (sold separately), and a reprised raid to 1 raid, 1 dungeon (included), and a new pantheon challenge.

Buddy bungie can’t reprise raids forever. We never got 3 new raids a year. We got a new raid with each main expansion and 1 reprised raid at about the halfway point. We also only got 2 dungeons in the year of the current expansion. So, 1 new raid, 2 new dungeons, and 1 reprised raid.

Here's what I thought... I don't know how people feel about Encore, I dig it... That's the idea. The Raid will evolve in the 2nd & 4th update. The Dungeon will evolve in the 4th update and/or offer a yearly pantheon "like" activity. Dungeons are getting adept loot (implied) and a larger loot pool. I'm optimistic. I want to know what that rogue-like mechanic is... this bodes well for new mechanics ensuring they'll get the resources they need to launch in a strong state.

Edited by Spicy Water: 9/25/2024 6:52:45 PMMany people still consider Taken King and (for some reason) Rise of Iron to be the pinnacles of the series and they only had the one raid each. And while we never had a three raid/dungeon year like you said, base D2 had a raid plus two raid lairs, and even I quit for a while back then. Lightfall had a new and reprised raid each plus two dungeons, and that is the only other time in this game where I stopped playing for months. Pretty sure I’m not the only one, people were very vocal about how dogass those releases/expansions were. Hell, the only period of D1 to feature two raids was year one, and people were VERY vocal about how dogass that was. Then we only got one raid a year and people started loving it! Given all that, I don’t think “number of raids/dungeons” is a good indicator of how good the game is over a given period.

quality> quantity, the thing players have asked for years

Honestly I don’t mind there only being one raid as long as they keep the game fresh in other ways, but 1 less dungeon per year does kinda sting
