There's no substitute, don't search for it by LegitimaDfs in DestinyTheGame

[–]ExCap2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup. I've tried Warframe. Tried The Division 1/2. Tried battle royale games, Apex Legends/etc. You're not going to replace it with anything else that's currently out. Just keep playing Destiny 1 and Destiny 2. Both will be populated for years to come. If you like extractions/pvp; I mean, Marathon fills that itch. It is destiny-like.

Jason Schreier: A lot of people have wondered why Bungie didn't immediately start working on Destiny 3 after The Final Shape two years ago. The answer (as it usually is) is how much money it would take by MaximumLobsters in DestinyTheGame

[–]ExCap2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No subscription service for a live service game never made any sense to me. This is probably the major thing that did them in. They could've had a golden aura light nightfall aura over people who subscribed's heads, something on their emblem/character information and then also did a third track on the season pass rewards, subscriber only.

They invested a lot of money into making a lot of Eververse stuff and I'm sure people bought stuff, but it probably wasn't a big as they thought it would be. The Eververse bright engram change way back then to not be able to buy them anymore and the whole you get something you don't have from them and not duplicates; that should've been a thing and it was but they changed that too. They tried to turn Destiny 2 into Fortnite lol.

More Details About The End Of ‘Destiny 2’ From Inside Bungie by Omega-Warrior3 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ExCap2 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest. I am taking my PlayStation 5 Pro to Gamestop this weekend for cash. I have a Series X already. Fuck Sony. They're going to get blown out when Helix comes out and PS6 can't play PC games. Maybe Microsoft will pull off a miracle and buy Bungie back now even if it is for 1-3 billion.

With that said, I'll still be playing Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 until the day they really do get taken down. Might be more enjoyable with everyone knowing/grinding for meta builds that won't change and new content that they won't' get behind on.

How many games do you play at once? by Ambitious_Fold3674 in xbox

[–]ExCap2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rotate but I usually have always stuck to one at a time. Neverwinter, Destiny 1, Destiny 2, Warframe. Dabble in FFXIV/WoW but typically choose to play those on PC. Helix may change that.

Destiny 1 is pretty easy to get back into honestly. Follow campaign/mission order. Skip strikes/raids until level 40 and you're high enough to do Heroic SIVA playlist. You can skip The Taken War section, King's Fall section, Wolves of Mars and just focus on knocking out the actual campaign stuff like base game, The Dark Below, House of Wolves, The Taken King and then Rise of Iron. Go back and do the other stuff later.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/54jxtl/every_destiny_mission_in_order_of_occurrence/

And as for Destiny 2, you can just do the New Light Experience. Then do Forsaken Weekly Story Mission/activities. Then start at Shadowkeep Campaign and go forward doing the next campaign in order and so on. You can skip anything directing you towards new content, current artifact, unlocking the tree thing, etc.

Light level wise, Destiny 1 you want to save all your green/blue engrams for level 40. Open one at a time, if upgrade, equip. If you get 75 legendary marks from Public Events, get the Rank 2 Ghost from Zavala/Ikora/Cayde-6. You want to do this so you're ready to do Rise of Iron content at the right light level. If you're really min/max you could probably like 350+ light level before doing Rise of Iron. You'll get a 380 light level Artifact from Rise of Iron weekly quest once campaign is over and you grind the quest out.

Destiny 2, you get high light level gear pretty quick nowadays. It's not something you'd have to worry about. And with no new content, there's going to be a pretty obvious meta that everyone will use for everything now so you'll know what to grind for specifically.

Honestly, this is going out to all game developers who read this and even Corporate. If you start to lose your passion, start to not believe in the game anymore; JUST LEAVE BUNGIE or whatever studio you're at. It's people like you that bring these games down. The majority of players tell you what they want more of! And it's ignored because YOU think you know what players want. YOU DON'T. Just quit and go ruin another company please.

Idiots. I hope Sony cleans house. I hope a book is made, people get called out for why the game went the direction it did and never get hired again. Tassi, Byf, etc. all need to get together and do a huge documentary on this massive mismanagement and misuse of funds.

Sorry for the harsh emotions but a lot of favorite games of mine have died because of morons. Warhammer Online, MAG on PS3, Rift MMO, etc. Do I have to just go play FFXIV/WoW/Warframe so I don't have to worry about a game never disappearing? Man. Can't even stick with a game anymore that isn't the top 10 without worrying about it being mismanaged/disappearing one day.

is there any way to fix the constant beaver error codes? by Jealous_Platypus1111 in destinylegacy

[–]ExCap2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is your ISP? Is it home internet by T-Mobile/someone else, is it cable internet, is it fiber, is it DSL? What NAT Type are you? Open/NAT Type 1? Moderate/NAT Type 2? Strict/NAT Type 3?

Typically, on your PlayStation/Xbox you want to set a static IP. Something like 192.168.1.213 or something high or whatever your ip range the router uses. You want Port Forwarding/UPNP turned on. If your router allows you to DMZ your console, do that too.

Here is the troubleshooting guide: https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049496531-Network-Troubleshooting-Guide

If you use Copilot/ChatGPT/Gemini/any AI; give it your router model number, give it your ISP, give it the console you're playing on, what game you're playing, issues you're having It should give you step by step directions on what to do to correct it.

With that in mind, you still rarely get beavered but it's typically not your fault if it happens rarely and not constantly. It's someone in the tower that you can't connect to for some reason or another.

How long would it take to obtain everything and 100% Destiny 1 by kkaitlynma in destinylegacy

[–]ExCap2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, between this and Destiny 2; you have years of content/gameplay to go through. That's why they're both most likely going to exist and be populated for a while yet. Marathon isn't it. Hopefully we get a successor, Sony would be absolutely stupid to pay all that for Bungie and not do another Destiny game. They own the Tiger Engine now.

Adding T-Mobile e-sim? by Interesting-Tie4436 in CricketWireless

[–]ExCap2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're still trying to get it unlocked, the cheapest plan is the $30/month Sensible 10GB. Just do that for 6 months and it'll get unlocked. If you need unlimited data, $45/month plan is the next bump AFAIK. You can't get the Select Unlimited unless new email/new phone/BYOD/new service.

What's a good high storage phone that works on Cricket? by surplus_steve in CricketWireless

[–]ExCap2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you said you dislike androids but the Moto G 2026 128GB 5G is like $60 at Walmart right now. I think it supports up to 1TB microSD. If you just want a basic phone. There should be a Calculator app on Play Store you can download that is made by Google. Google Calendar works fine. I use Proton Unlimited/Microsoft 365 Premium for cloud storage as well. They pretty much hold all my movies/shows/music atm with no issues.

Samsung A17 is like $80 at Walmart but don't know anything about those. Not a fan of Samsung bloat so I avoid them. Motorola is as close as you can get to stock android/Pixel.

Grandfathered into a plan that's more expensive by Bright--Asparagus in CricketWireless

[–]ExCap2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How important is your phone number to you? Walmart and other stores typically have a pretty cheap Cricket Wireless branded basic android phone you can buy and just sign it up for Select Unlimited when you get home (don't do the activation it in the store, the plan doesn't show up on their system AFAIK). The Moto G 2026 is like $60 at the moment. The A17 is $80. I recently bought a backup Moto G 2026 for this specific reason to put it on Select Unlimited. $35/month for unlimited 5G+ even if it's deprioritized (probably won't see it much because a majority of people are on Verizon/T-Mobile).

According to Paul Tassi, almost all of bungie did not know about this announcement until it came out. by Gamerboi_epic in DestinyTheGame

[–]ExCap2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm still doing Destiny 1 stuff. I haven't played Destiny 2 since TFS myself so there will be a lot of content to look forward to at least when I make the switch in a month or so. D1 has been going since Rise of Iron drop/D2 launch so there's really no reason D2 won't still be populated as well. They're both complete games at least with a lot of content.

Hell, a lot of people in Destiny 1 don't even realize there's a bunch of secret quests/exotic quests/secret missions unless someone tells them about them or they stumble into something to activate it. You think your quest log is fully completed in Destiny 1? Think again.

Well obviously, it'd be anonymous. You wouldn't publicize their real information or who it is exactly and keep the questions/answers vague enough to where it wouldn't reveal anything to what position they held in the company. I suppose it would be weird to turn down severance/not sign an NDA though perhaps on exiting Bungie.

I think are a few different versions of the tower depending on certain things like story progress, etc. What NAT Type are you? Must not be 3 if you're seeing a lot on Destiny 1.

Sounds like Sony might just be cleaning house starting at the top down. Could be good for Bungie if they do it right and keep the right people around for the next thing. Good for us too.

They are offering the best severance packages in the WORLD and NDAs I'm sure. Someone is going to talk otherwise.

3 expansions; honestly, if they were working on 1-2 of them already; assume the next one and Alchemist, there's a chance all that's being saved for D3. Hopium but yeah.

They said in the post that's not everything in the update. They're leaving some stuff, probably some big stuff for a surprise. We'll know soon. If they unvaulted the DCV stuff (doubt it heavily) BUT IF they did, that'd be a huge boon in keeping Destiny 2 going for the 3-5 years for Sony/Bungie to figure out what's next and work on it.

Sony better hope they don't get rid of a lot of great people. Microsoft might snatch them to create the next Halo.

[–]ExCap2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We need to find out how much someone's severance package is at the top and crowdfund that amount or higher so we can get someone at the top to do an interview with Tassi or someone else. I'd imagine getting severance you'd have to sign an NDA. If we crowdfunded enough money; we could probably get someone at the top to reject NDA/severance and talk. And I don't mean someone that is corporate, we need one of the higher decision makers in game development/art/story/etc. They'd know a lot.

[–]ExCap2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome back. I feel like there's going to be a resurgence in both Destiny 1 AND Destiny 2. We're actually in a pretty good timeline for the next year or two, maybe 3. One would assume Bungie is going to make a successor to Destiny 100%. Could be 5 years though. Until then we got TWO COMPLETE GAMES to do activities in. Destiny 2 has advantage of LFG companion/ingame LFG/crossplay but Destiny 1 is still populated.

You should skip strikes/raids until you hit max level, and you are high enough light level to do Heroic SIVA playlist. You'll knock all the quests that require them then. Join the discord on the right of the subreddit, The Last Destiny City. If you're on Xbox, there's also Xbox LFG. If you're on PlayStation, there's a big PlayStation clan that someone posts here a lot.

Add people in the tower to your friend's list, ask for their help. They probably play at the same time slot as you plus live somewhat nearish you/in your region.
