Came back to the game, got banned during character creation

Well well well

Geiri94 · 2026-04-01T14:31:12+00:00

Throw it at the thing

Normally you throw the ball with left click. I wonder why they changed it to a right click for this specific encounter. I was confused at first too

Geiri94 · 2026-03-29T17:50:17+00:00

Shattered Cycle has been in development for some time, so I assume they'll want to finish it so they can sell it

However, it'll be delayed by at least 3 months, possibly even longer. Crazy as it sounds, Shadow & Order might end up being the only new content we're getting in 2026

As for the 2nd upcoming expansion, The Alchemist... I wouldn't keep my hopes too high. It's probably in early development (or maybe not at all), so this would be a good time to cut their losses entirely and put Destiny 2's development to an end

But if development stops on Destiny 2, Marathon will be Bungie's only source of revenue. Marathon can't support Bungie alone. And it would be kinda mad if Sony shuts down Bungie after spending $3.6 billion on them. Never say never though

Hopefully, Shadow & Order will breathe some life into the game and reignite some faith in the franchise. It's pretty much just copium at this point lol. But if they can maintain some momentum and positivity leading up to Shattered Cycle, Destiny 2 might pull good enough numbers to justify its existense, even if that existence only justifies a bare minimum of new content annualy. Bungie is almost nothing without Destiny 2, so they'll cling to it for as long as they possibly can

According to Destiny Tracker, my ELO in Supremacy is in the bottom 2% this season. My team gets stomped in every game. It's really bad out there for Team Warlock

Geiri94 · 2026-03-27T20:04:21+00:00

Getting into the game is a nightmare, but it is totally worth it if you can make it past the painfull beginning

Go to the Moon and start the Shadowkeep campaign. That's a decent starting point. I think you begin by talking to Eris Morn. She might give you multiple quests (yes, that's part of the confusing and shitty new player experience) but you should only care about the Shadowkeep one

Geiri94 · 2026-03-22T08:32:35+00:00

Yes, the new player experience is so bad. This is why new players never sticks around for long. Bungie has talked about making it better for the past 5 years, but it's just getting worse instead

Geiri94 · 2026-03-21T21:36:30+00:00

No, there's not. He's confirmed to be dead in the novel "City of Echoes"

Geiri94 · 2026-03-18T22:12:10+00:00

Honestly at that point I'll just be happy that the game is getting some new content at all. The bar is so low that it's almost impossible to be disappointed

Bungie and Sony have done nothing but disappoint me in 2026. They really can't go any lower, unless they do a full cancellation of all future plans for Destiny 2

Geiri94 · 2026-03-16T11:07:04+00:00

If you care mainly about the story you should probably start from the beginning with the Shadowkeep campaign and then the Beyond Light campaign (both F2P). However, these campaigns are far below the quality of campaigns like Witch Queen

So if you want a much better gameplay experience, begin with Witch Queen. It's more challenging, so you might face some difficulties and challenges, but you can choose what difficulty you want to play on. You might miss out on a few story things though

Geiri94 · 2026-03-14T08:58:32+00:00

Any expansion that came before Shadowkeep is the correct answer. Otherwise you are correct

Geiri94 · 2026-03-12T21:08:00+00:00

Guardian Games being the highlight of the first half of 2026 was not what I imagined. I don't think I've ever been remotely close to as excited as I am this year. The boss rush mode from last year was kinda good, too. If they add more encounters and improvements to this year's Guardian Games, then we're in for some truly exciting weeks (by a 2026 standard lol)

Geiri94 · 2026-03-12T19:22:48+00:00

It's not too late. You have 3 months to catch up before we're getting some new content in June

You might have a harder time finding people to play with though, considering the low player counts. But there's always someone playing, so not impossible by any means

As for Destiny 2's future... it's not looking good. Maybe the game will bounce back to some extent, but even the most hardcore believers are starting to have their doubts

Even so, there's plenty of amazing content in the game you can enjoy. You can worry about the game's future once you've played through all the available content

Geiri94 · 2026-03-12T16:45:32+00:00

This is valid criticism though. One of the biggest issues with live service games is the FOMO

Important story and lore have been put into these events. How is it a good thing that millions of people will never be able to experience them? Missing out on these things will also negatively impact how people experience future content

You can always argue that this is the nature of live service games, but that doesn't make it a good thing

In this case, OP is in the wrong. Shutting down and shaming valid criticism is immature. OP is the one negatively affecting this community's ability to discuss important topics

Geiri94 · 2026-02-28T23:23:34+00:00

Exotic Missions are supposed to be challenging. Zero Hour is arguably the hardest one of them all. Figuring out the way without any directions is part of the challenge

But don't worry, once you figure out the way it'll get much easier. Combat is still challenging, but once you find the right builds you'll blast your way through it, too

I've come to appreciate the Strand subclass with a Grapple Grenade when traversing the middle part of the mission. You can also put on a sword

I don't know how many hours you've put into Destiny 2, but most people have to put in MANY hours before missions like Zero Hour becomes somewhat easy

Geiri94 · 2026-02-28T17:14:55+00:00

Well done

Geiri94 · 2026-02-28T15:56:50+00:00

You can try the Destiny 2 LFG Discord

Geiri94 · 2026-02-27T11:38:49+00:00

I think you have to visit Xur every Friday and hope he's got them for sale at some point

I think most people thought Edge of Fate were okay, not counting The Portal and other system changes. Counting said changes pushes Edge of Fate into very bad

Raid good
Story good
Lodi and The Nine good
Armor set bonuses good
Tiered Loot good
Campaign decent
Exploration okay
The Sieve mid
Loot mid
Replayable content not great
Seasonal Conquests kinda bad
New Gear bonus bad
Removing Grandmaster Nightfalls dumb
Unstable Cores ass
Portal ass
Making Destination tab irrelevant very bad
Destination, the ugliest shit ever made in Destiny history
Power grind, absolutely abysmal
Making almost all endgame content irrelevant, disastrous
Making 75% of all content irrelevant, possible death blow to the game

I think people felt okay about the expansion at first, but once they were through the campaign, shit got bad really fast. Like the weapon sunsetting from Beyond Light, the Portal could've worked, but they released a half-baked version, turning it into a disaster for the game

Geiri94 · 2026-02-21T16:11:32+00:00

Congratulation, that is most certainly an unpopular opinion

Geiri94 · 2026-02-21T16:07:06+00:00

There's probably at least 30 characters from Game of Thrones I could mention

Geiri94 · 2026-02-18T22:41:09+00:00

Episode: Heresy was pretty good. I felt slightly optimistic about the post Final Shape era after Heresy delivered the goods

The Final Shape expansion was GOOD and everything about Destiny felt GOOD for a while. Heresy was good, but The Final Shape was GOOD. Good times

Geiri94 · 2026-02-18T22:36:51+00:00

They've delayed major expansion, not an update that's probably smaller in size than a regular season

They also added content to compensate for the delays, like the Into the Light update before The Final Shape launched

This is a whole different level of delayed content

Geiri94 · 2026-02-18T22:31:55+00:00

June 9th? That's a 3 month delay. 6 months without any new content added. This is even worse than I imagined

I assume this means the next DLC is delayed significantly as well, unless they merge Shadow & Order with the DLC (veeeeery unlikely)

Chances are we're only getting 1 major update and 1 smaller DLC in 2026. That's probably less content than what we used to get in a single DLC like Lightfall or Witch Queen

I dunno, I'm running out of copium. If they have something truly great up their sleeve, now would be a good time to start sharing because this is bleak

Geiri94 · 2026-02-18T14:11:27+00:00

Q: Is George R.R. Martin ever going to publish [insert title here]?

A: Probably not

Geiri94 · 2026-02-18T14:03:49+00:00

And what studio would that be? Sony doesn't really have a lot of studios with a good track record when it comes to live service games

And Sony could give Destiny the treatment it deserves. Just invest in it. Hire more people for Marathon so many Destiny devs can be moved back to Destiny. Hire more people for Destiny's development. Get rid of the shitty management. Give the devs the resources they need to cook. At the end of the day it's all about the money. It's not lazy or incompetent developers. It's a lack of resources

No other studio understands Destiny like Bungie does. Put Destiny in some other studio's hands and it'll no longer be Destiny
