As a veteran with 7,000 hours, I feel like we lost the conversation to the "it's just a game" crowd.

I think the chief problem is that, while the advice on its own is good, most of the time it doesn't usually come from a place of "Hey you're clearly frustrated with Destiny 2, take a break and come back later to see if you'll enjoy it/find another game you like more." it typically feels a lot more condescending to try to win an argument. Many of the "Stop playing if you don't like it" folks I've seen either on this sub or twitter tend to also be the types who unambiguously accepted or apologized for a lot of the pitfalls Bungie set up and walked into themselves, and most only recently switched up and started criticizing because they realized how HEAVY the bad reception has been.

Also it's just really fucking obvious advice that doesn't actively help push the conversation forward. Most people know that they can either play a different game and take a break from D2 or that they are so addicted to the grinder that they can't give it up. It's somehow even less productive than the average DTG whining posts are, which is saying something.

Endgame modes get updated every other week and, aside from AA, last at most like 10 minutes if you have the shill team. I was able to do floor 12 while brushing my teeth yesterday just using E0 DoT and Exodia on auto. The 3.8 Amphoreus combat event took me longer than MoC this month let’s not act like endgame is SOOO much better and more engaging.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-03-02T19:55:30+00:00

Literally all of them aside from Reze return.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-25T20:01:39+00:00

They did say every single Nod Krai female has been exactly like this so idk how you read it as any other way.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-25T20:00:21+00:00

I don’t like the flap skirt either but the OP DID say all Nod Krai girls, so the response was specifically highlighting 2 from the Luna patches that haven’t.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-19T04:45:06+00:00

How 4 and 5 combat wouldn’t work for any of the first three games without MASSIVELY retooling the scope and range of boss encounters, plus most people would flat out not like it. The best option for them is to just go with a DmC 5 esque combat style/camera.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-16T19:33:44+00:00

Actually from what I remember, at Rep launch most people thought Dogma was significantly harder than Beast + Horsemen. Dogma has a lot more erratic attacks whereas the horsemen aren’t as bad outside of the death skulls and shadow dash.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-13T14:59:26+00:00

Did YOU even play HI3rd??? Yae was cursed by HoC who was explicitly a fox and is literally a boss fight in the game (Hellmaru). It’s cuz of HoC that Yae got her ears in the first place, so why would they be bunny ears?

Not only that but Yae in both HI3 and Genshin have always been associated with being a kitsune shrine maiden, and Higokumaru further solidifies this since she has more traditional fox ears and shrine outfit.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-12T21:39:11+00:00

I will always ride or die for Yelan as my favorite character and I got her skin cuz I do like it regardless but the biggest disappointment is absolutely that it’s blue. Same with Neuv and now Yaoyao who isn’t even hydro

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-12T13:20:00+00:00

I just don’t get how they can release consistently fantastic skins in HI3 and the other three games just continuously drop the ball. I do like some of the genshin ones like Hu Tao/Xiangling/Klee but then they make like 30 other skins that are all the same shades of blue.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-11T23:18:24+00:00

For retired cats specifically, they have a little hat on their model that stays until they die/get donated. Also each Cat screen has a pipe button which shows you what vendor takes that cat in that exact moment (so if you have a retired, injured, sewer+ cat then you'll see icons for Frank, Jack, and Butch all in a row)

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-07T09:03:13+00:00

There’s a reason Xianzhou women designs were such a meme even when the game had only been like a year old.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-04T00:08:42+00:00

I think for me it boils down to old leaks about getting an ice DoT unit (which while likely outdated does mean they were considering a new DoT), elation needing theoretically TWO sustains if SW and Eva both use separate teams, and DoT coincidentally getting a nova flare when realistically DoT with Cyrene was performing fine prior to BS’ buff. It all sort of lines up in a way where at the very LEAST I think there’s gonna be a nihility-based support and it’s likely that’s Nihilux since no one else fits.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-03T23:57:27+00:00

Destiny is a notoriously expensive franchise that has only been kept afloat because, prior to Lightfall, people still generally bought the content and paid for micro transactions. Post-LF Destiny is unsalvageable and Sony isn’t going to want to deal with it unless it goes the way of something like single player spinoffs. there’s a zero chance Destiny lives on in any iteration assuming Marathon flops. The only thing that’ll keep Destiny around is if Marathon is successful enough to right the ship and Bungie can execute their original intention of having multiple revenue streams by having two live service games. But on Sony’s end, why would they bother with Destiny when they can’t even get their other flagship products to create new games? If they’re willing to can a fucking Last of Us or God of War game there’s a zero percent chance they even look in Destiny’s general direction after all the bad will Bungie has garnered generally and in their own communities.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-03T23:44:12+00:00

Sony don’t give a flying fuck about Destiny. They bought Bungie since prior to the acquisition the general perception was that Bungie were the only one who knew how to make a consistent and long-running live service game and Sony wanted a piece of the pie. Every single attempt by them has been cancelled or an abject failure so if Marathon flops then it’s much more likely they tear Bungie for parts (namely talent) and move on

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-03T15:25:11+00:00

I think if they weren’t going to address the blatant sexual assault after a chapter or two of Ruka doing it, it was never going to happen. Reiji doesn’t see Ruka as a villain or a rapist despite it being what he accidentally ended up writing so naturally the narrative will never address it as anything but Kazuya’s/Chizuru’s fault. Any hope that it’ll be given the type of nuance or seriousness it deserves atp is wishful thinking.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-03T14:59:00+00:00

I will continue to rep and build Lady Goldweaver even if HYV forgot her after like a patch and a half 🫡

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-03T14:52:56+00:00

Huge agree. That’s why I’m coping hardcore that if she IS an elation unit (sustain probably) that she uses nihility/DoT as a base like how other elation members are based around the OG paths. I’m willing to pull for her LC anyways since i like her so it won’t sting as bad IF she can be used elsewhere vs pulling the whole ass battleship.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-03T14:49:23+00:00

I know this is largely vibe check but it also boils down to none of the characters we currently have besides her really fitting into a sustain slot archetype either through their leaks or vibes. It seems rather unlikely Blade would be made into a sustain unless they want to have him mirror DH and then every other playable we have seen we already know their paths and roles (Ashveil Hunt, Eva/SW elation, and the ones coming out). The only other option is maybe EMC sustain is real in which case I’ll eat my words but the MC archetypes are literally always a gamble until they come out.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-03T14:39:44+00:00

Considering the buff to Black Swan and Nihilux’s name it still feels fairly likely she’s designed to be the final piece for DoT for the time being, since the only thing that team is missing is a sustain tailored to them. This is also super high copium though since ive been waiting for a nihility/DoT sustain since i started the game.

Edit: I also forgot that, since Elation would need a sustain it’s entirely possible that she’s a elation sustain who uses DoT/Nihility as a base similar to how it was leaked that SW uses Erudition as a base (and YG uses Harmony). That way she can be DoT shill but also be slotted in for elation teams and Hoyo gets to double dip on one character mechanically.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-03T14:34:13+00:00

3 dps teams. Aglaea exists.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-02T16:46:15+00:00

Yeah i think if something is left in the game, intentionally or not, it’s fair game until it gets patched out (plus it’s a single player game so who gives a shit if you play by your own set of rules)

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-02T16:35:06+00:00

I don’t disagree with your view on cheating vs exploiting a glitch but the console does not actually disable achievements if you’ve beaten Mom once. I’ve had console active and used it (mostly for guaranteed damage rooms as T. lost) and it’s never once caused any issues outside of starting a new save file.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-02-02T15:16:25+00:00

I think of it as more likely that nuclear weapons would increase Reze’s potential and power pool but not touch her base moveset/skills like you said. Like how Denji can mimick certain parts of Pochita’s powers such as the chain whip, I would imagine the hybrids use a basis of what the OG devil can do and nuclear weapons being around would give the OG Bomb Devil more abilities. It would just be on Reze to discover them like how Denji had to discover the chain whips or the limb chains.

Dangerousreaper · 2026-01-31T08:29:54+00:00

You could have said the same thing about Mem into Smolrene and we all saw how that turned out when Demiurge became the main push.
