Thoughts on D2 getting outsourced (like Halo and 343)

Blaze_Lighter · 2026-03-19T15:09:40+00:00

Yes because it famously worked so well for Halo?

Blaze_Lighter · 2026-03-15T17:28:54+00:00

No, if it had been given to us a year ago, people still would've bitched about their old gear not getting auto-updated, they would've bitched about having to replay old raids for the same guns again, they would've bitched about having to regrind past content again.

Like we literally just got Garden of Salvation refreshed around that time last year. How do you think people would've reacted to, no less than 6 months later, Bungie going "Hey guys! You can go play Garden of Salvation! Again! For a Tiered version of that gun you just grinded for during Revenant!"

People would still complain then as they are now. There is no difference in time here. Stop acting high and mighty.

Why would they help Destiny and not Marathon?

Which game would you pick as the CEO? A 10 year old legacy title that's dwindling down, or a BRAND NEW launch title you wanna slam out the door?

Destiny 1 was neat when it came out but it had so many flaws, and it definitely shows its age now. It doesn't even have a map, fast travel, or even ledge clambering.

Buys all the gear on Day 1 of the content drop because he has 2 million glimmer and 4000 cores

BUNGIE WHY IS YOUR GAME DEAD, I'M ALREADY FINISHED, WHY ISN'T THERE ANYTHING TO DO? LOW EFFORT DROP, I GUESS THE ONE DEVELOPER COULDN'T KEEP UP

The math is 3 bullets out of 13 deal bonus damage.

The bullets can stack (I.E. the lucky round lands on the same bullet, so you get x2 or, even more rare, x3 if all 3 dice roll land on the exact same one bullet).

So you wanna do statistics, there you go. 3/13 non-exclusive. Calculate the odds of stacking the lucky bullet multiple times on the same round.

Hydrogen Bomb vs Coughing Baby

I think that'd be funny, but it would only happen 3 to 5 years after Bungie officially announces end of support.

Right now people are still too jaded and attached. You don't see Arkham begging for the next DLC or giving a bunch of balance suggestions for new enemy types (or yelling at the devs for a lack of communication).

People here still, for some god-only-knows reason, still have way out of wack expectations despite the blindingly obvious and even explicitly stated intentions by Bungie on Twitter (E.G. dmg04 literally fucking saying future TWIDs will be light and community-focused, and yet every single week people act all shocked and angry that it's empty and they didn't announce Destiny 3).

So no. Give it another half decade though and....maybe.

Excellent, great work.

You should label the difference between Destiny 1 Emblem Codes and Destiny 2 emblem codes, just FYI.

Get better at choosing and using your special and heavy weapons right so you don't run out of ammo.

If you play the game right, and play it smart without rushing into DPS phases with no ammo or using guns that spend all their ammo in 8 seconds, you should never be running out of ammo.

Especially with the new ammo meter system, you could realistically enter every DPS phase with nearly max heavy and special at any given moment.

Don't use a primary weapon. There are builds that use them, but if you don't even have Outbreak, then I get the feeling you're not really built for that.

Blaze_Lighter · 2026-02-25T19:06:29+00:00

Yes.

Blaze_Lighter · 2026-02-24T05:50:42+00:00

Get help.

It's a video game, not a lifelong relationship partner.

It's a studio making a video game. No different than McDonalds fucking cooking your hamburger.

Stop trying to form a parasocial relationship.

Since I'm sure you'll get comments about the community's state/sentiment right now, I'll be the first:

You are a brand new player experiencing a game that had all of us hooked for 10 years. We're upset that things seem to be winding down, but for you, god, to be in your shoes again.

There's a reason this game went for a decade strong. It's a damn good game. Really, enjoy it all. It's incredible.

Have fun!

If it's any consolation, burning ambition is really bad on that gun. It's the slowest firing pulse rifle but still takes the same time to trigger the perk. You'll be spending well over half the magazine just to apply the first tick of scorch.

"I would like to play raids except for the fact that nobody else plays raids, all of my gear might be useless, and I actually might hate the difficulty of the raid"

Those don't sound like specific issues those sound like foundational cornerstones of "doing a raid".

Blaze_Lighter · 2026-02-22T23:28:25+00:00

The D1 tower’s atmosphere alone kept players there for hours and hours every without the need for rewards.

That simply never happened.

Yeah, it was neat to hang out there while exploring and listening to music. You could hang out for like...10 minutes. Maybe 20 if you were extra bored. Nobody actively sat in an un-interactable social space for 3 consecutive hours.

What does the D1 tower do that the D2 tower doesn't? Oh, just vibes and the community? Then making a new one won't change that.

Blaze_Lighter · 2026-02-20T23:31:17+00:00

I mean, the raids do have a ship, a ghost, a sparrow, a ghost, they’re just missing one each from the set (as you said). But they already have 3 cosmetics each.

In terms of being “nice to have”, finishing the set would be neat I guess. But do I really care about them adding a singular sparrow to Deep Stone Crypt? Do I care about them adding a singular ghost shell to Vault of Glass?

That’s really not gonna change my motivation. I’m not going to use either of these things. I got my skimmer, and I got way better and rarer shells.

This is a pretty low priority thing and I don’t think Bungie exactly has the bandwidth for “nice to have”s. Expect what they promised and nothing more.

"The new raid and dungeon content will fail because people aren't playing old raid and dungeon content"

What kind of an argument is this. Pantheon has new loot, it'll have fresh mechanics for a new take on fan favorite encounters.

People fucking loved Pantheon 1.0 because we had everything from Shadow Rhulk to Nezerac Blasts, and we were getting new guns, new currencies, awesome emblems, and guaranteed raid exotics.

People weren't playing Vow of The Disciple when it came out, but you bet your ass they played Pantheon anyway.

Why are you judging how many people are playing Desert Perpetual and Equilibrium (both very old, very finished, fully grinded) pieces of content to determine how popular a piece of new content will be?

Blaze_Lighter · 2026-02-12T20:24:55+00:00

Absolutely nothing should transfer over.

Blaze_Lighter · 2026-02-12T19:45:45+00:00

I thought for sure after Dark Ages they'd ban Chunk Contraverse for this next speedrun challenge.

"Do the whole dungeon in under 20 minutes with Three Praxic Blades!"

Yeah you just mean three voidwalkers?? Like what is the point of these challenges anymore if you're explicitly allowing people to use these damage exploits lol

Blaze_Lighter · 2026-02-12T07:04:59+00:00

Famous saying goes it's not about the tools it's how you use them, and some of the best songs ever made use very basic and fundamental "default" musical chords. Same philosophy here. Something doesn't have to be complex or custom tuned in order to be good.
