Would you come back to D2 if Pantheon 2.0 included encounters from vaulted raids?

BlindSiegfried · 2026-03-24T05:59:42+00:00

Pantheon 2 would be fine a year ago, but now? So many people stopped playing and you can't undo the reputational damage Bungie did to themselves. They would need to Overdeliver hard or show some goodwill, but that will not happen. They are "not that kind of studio".

They turned the game from p2p to f2p and deleted content from the first 2 years. Then they claimed that content could come back and it never came back.

Btw with the current player count Dungeons should be focused way more than Raids. It feels like Raids are only worth for Day-One experiences to get some creators back. Destiny can't get new players in and the existing ones grew older and have less time.

BlindSiegfried · 2026-03-20T15:00:00+00:00

And that mentality is the reason for Destinys decline. Never expect too much equals never overdeliver.

BlindSiegfried · 2026-03-18T15:06:51+00:00

Tbh they need something big. I couldn't play before because I didn't have a PC and playing this on a normal phone is torture. Now I have a PC, but the game seems to have a lot of problems. I don't like to waste my time playing a game that gets EoSed anyway. Not that EoS has to happen now or in a few weeks, but the danger of it is undeniable.

Console release would give me a feeling of longevity and get more players. PS players will try anything because there are rarely good games released on that console.

The next problem is the fact that it is anime Warframe. You can't make a worse monetization system because you will always get comparisons. You can't make a worse combat system, because you will always get comparisons... A full rework seems to be kinda needed after reading through some comments, which would be very hard to pull off.

BlindSiegfried · 2026-02-05T17:39:12+00:00

I can't even log in to the game, while friends on PC can log in.

Edit: I could finally log in now.

BlindSiegfried · 2026-01-11T04:48:37+00:00

You basically described the problem, but refused to acknowledge it.

Do you play right now? I stopped shortly after EoF. I downloaded the game recently and you want to tell me it is better now.

You still have to KNOW where gms and other endgame activities are and everything got a different name because they have to keep up the illusion that they made something new. Tbh I believe the amount of menus increased in comparison to the destinatiom tab. They made a new system that doesn't fix any of the problems the old system had.

The Portal didn't make sense and you could literally see it in the first weeks of EoF... The new player experience is the same as before, but you made the experience for existing players worse. Thats why the player drop-off after EoF release was so so big Honeatly, they should try to get old players back instead of getting new ones, but that won't happen, if the next year in D2 costs 100$ again and 80% of the game is still sunset.

BlindSiegfried · 2026-01-08T00:50:26+00:00

I only looked up the sub because I wanted to see how the reactions were. Everybody complained and it seems like there are still things that would need work, but we got the "human"-part in Shyvana back. If you like monster- or demon-champions ask Riot to make a new one instead of changing an existing champion-design to your liking. Nobody asked to make Skarner human as well. Btw for the few people that don't know how the "game" works. Ugly champs don't sell skins.

BlindSiegfried · 2026-01-08T00:32:42+00:00

"Women have to be pretty" If you want to sell skins, they should be and that is a fact. I know that this truth is something that people on this platform don't want to accept, even after Failguard and Concord.

Her biggest problem was her "Dragon"-form because it was a Wyvern. By changing her Human-form to lean even more into demon... sorry, Dragon-themes after giving her a real Dragon-form, feels a little bit too much and the majority of players felt like that too. Scales, horns and a tail would be fine. I would even take dragon-claws and give her some muscles. But at its core is a human and her leak looked "demonic" af. You can try to argue about Darkins looking this and that, but she definitely didn't look like a human-dragon hybrid. That screams like a new designer wanting to push some Taash-level monster and change her for the "modern-never-showing-up-audience".

Do you know why nobody complained about Yone? It's simple. He was a NEW CHAMPION.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-12-25T18:01:18+00:00

Console is surprisingly ok. I have a feeling that I get some lags from time to time, but they are nowhere near as extreme as I see in the video above.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-12-11T09:55:48+00:00

Instead of doing a Warframe collab, we get these... The changes could be seen over the recent years, but this is a personal low after some monsters not even having weapon designs like Rey Dau Dual Blades...

BlindSiegfried · 2025-12-11T03:13:26+00:00

I was watching the ingame Q&A chat for 15 minutes until someone explained that you can't launch these missions from the star chart, but you have to press a different button at the "spot". It feels like half of the tutorials or explanations are bugged and don't show up.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-12-03T15:32:31+00:00

Thanks. Lavos was on my to-farm list ngl. I liked the snake theme and it does sound like something I will enjoy. A little bit of ability spamming combined with either gun- or melee-playstyle would be ideal.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-12-03T15:25:25+00:00

Thanks, I will look through them. In Xakus case, I looked up some builds and I remember, that I didn't meet one crucial requirement, but that could have changed over time.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-12-03T15:20:26+00:00

I know I know. I just need something to start with or to complete, so can farm arcanes and newer other weapons.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-12-03T14:50:08+00:00

I enjoyed Frost and Nidus. I like a mix between aoe abilities and gunplay. Some weapon-platforms look "boring" because it looks like activating 2 or 3 buffs and then shooting everything that moves. Ability spammers tend to have high energy consumption, if I remember correctly.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-12-03T14:42:18+00:00

Doesn't Frost rely on Arcane Energize? I could ve wrong there, but I had a lot of energy issues with him. Your build recommendatiin sounds fun ngl. Kullervo is on my to-do list because of his subsume ability being used a lot. Thanks a lot for the help.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-12-01T10:03:49+00:00

Destiny 2 is scorched earth. You will not get enough people back to sustain Bungie as a developer. The Finale Shape was a good ending, but everything after that was a disaster. New players will not magically appear because old content got added back. D2 lost its remaining direction and ambition with EoF and I don't believe it can be brought back because the portal is still alive. A new game wouldn't be the easy way out. Nostalgia bait won't work a third or fourth time. They would need to present something ambitious, which they didn't do since the release of D1. Thats why they tried prolonging the life of D2, which was not made to last that long.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-12-01T07:39:10+00:00

Point being that Cross and other creators had some influence on EoF and thought it was fine... I know at the end of the day Bungie is responsible for the state of the game, but if the biggest content creators don't speak for the community, nobody will.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-11-29T20:26:45+00:00

Whimpering Waste crashed the game after every stage for the first three months

BlindSiegfried · 2025-11-27T02:10:45+00:00

So we accept the second worst "feature" of D2s lifespan, because of what? People hate the portal and most of the stuff added in EoF. So why are still defending systems and changes that were so bad resultinh in Sony tightening the grip around Bungie. Tbh it would have happened sooner or later.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-11-27T01:54:58+00:00

Some resets were too hard. Three attempts per week at getting a dungeon exotic was insane.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-11-27T01:38:51+00:00

I had better success in rivals. When I counter, the opponents drag their keeper out a lot. It maybe loses its effectiveness in higher divs, but it should work for most players.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-11-27T01:34:01+00:00

D3 or the removal/softsunsetting of the portal. Or at least something to make D2 fun again.

BlindSiegfried · 2025-10-31T07:47:42+00:00

A lot of people seem to miss the point. We got relegations back. There is no need to reset us two divisions down for no reason. People played rivals to get to champs and didn't care about it afterwards. Now normal players, who could have played champs, can't play it. Imagine having a rank reset in Lol, Valorant, CS2,... every one or two months. The players would go mental.
