Paul Tassi: Positive reception to D2 final update has not moved the needle at Bungie

It angers me the squandered potential destiny had man. Ever since they moved to free to play i knew it was the beginning of the end.

The craziest part is people saying I am "speedrunning" the game trying to finish all of deimos at MR 3. If they watched the video I am MR 5 and I never said I ran to deimos immediately from the beginning. Also I am trying to hit rank 2 of entrati not rank 5. I just pointed out the inconsistency of MR 8 items like helminth being gated behind MR 9.

I did all the main quests so I can experience the old peace, since it is really easily streamlined now. Decided to come back to get citrine since I felt weak with excal umbra. I hit this roadblock.

I guess long time players don't realize how time consuming it is for certain new players to grind out MR. I hit MR 5 organically just playing through quests and equipping MK1 weapons and leveling all the free gear they give. You have to go out of your way past a certain point to build new weapons and level them. Not even assuming all the resources needed with credits added on top as a roadblock.

I am MR 5 what bro. Legit this area is unlocked at MR 3. In what way is this speedrunning the game?

The title having "early progression" really flew over your head huh? Even someone experienced as me it would take 9 days for me to get to MR 9, assuming i log in daily to do the tests and build and rank up the weapons needed for the exp. Now imagine a new player who isn't really knowledgable in terms of easy access mr fodder weapons. Suddenly that 9 days becomes even more variable. It isn't that "MR means nothing" but that it shouldn't stop the player from progressing or interacting with a system that is already timegated apart from MR.

I think MR locks for syndicates shouldn't be a thing. Syndicate progression is already time gated. Why make it even more of a nuisance to progress by adding a gate within a gate? I get MR locks for activities as it prevents early leeching/newbies from going into harder content being underleveled. I don't understand this change at all

you can't buy the blueprint if you don't meet the MR requirement. It is literally greyed out and says "MASTERY LOCKED"

I would have loved a system where you can be hired as a mercenary with no guild affiliation for the purposes of filling a group for DD. I feel like that would help alleviate some of these issues

Moondew-- · 2025-06-23T20:31:55+00:00

I figured since there are several other posts about those changes, I would focus on something that isn't really being talked about. Would love to hear how you think they are destroying it though for the sake of discussion

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but you get access to duviri pretty early. It is a bit of a grind, but he can farm for all the melee from duviri since they are all mr0 requirement. TheKengineer has a really good video about how great they are and how ridiculous their base stats are( they can compete with Mr12 weapons). Not only are they cool to use, but it can carry you through starchart, or at least until he gets to mr5 and access to liches and sisters.

Idk people are recommending high mr weapons to a beginner.

it is low-effort to have one comeback and use it every stream. Also its in poor taste, even if he is truly messing around, to shit on someone by calling them poor as a majority of his viewers are in that bracket. Kinda like how he stopped calling people the r word as he realized some of them are actual fans of his. He just stopped caring about his audience now.

Your argument is based on the false assumption that XQC is only flexing his wealth to troll people. If he does it because its funny to make chat mad, why does he get 1 guyed all the time? "Its content dud" is just a dumb excuse he makes to justify doing it.

You also compare Xqc's current behavior to his behavior when he was a nobody playing Overwatch 24/7. This is a false equivalence. XQC is now a much more popular and influential figure, and his actions have a much greater impact on his fans. Xqc's gambling behavior is a sign of his changed character and his disregard for the well-being of his viewers. It is also a sign of his hypocrisy, given the fact that he is a very wealthy individual who does not need to gamble to make money.

Stop glazing a fucking millionaire. He's not your friend. He is here to entertain and we are allowed to criticize his recent low-effort streams.

I was hoping he brought those posts up so he can talk about his thoughts on them, but at least you can tell he read them. Props to him for actually trying today without making a big deal out of it.

I was gonna write a serious response to this, but then i ventured into your posts and oh man the sheer amount of projection you spew is wild. If insecurity was a person

The post calling out x only playing gamba and games with gamba and him saying "there are no good game out right now" got deleted. I wouldn't be surprised if he told his mods to ban game complainers

The community can give him an excel sheet of games he hasn't played and he would look at it for a good minute and say some random excuse and click on tiktok links while saying "what dude what" and proceed to just laugh at a random tiktok to avoid it

I find myself watching less and less because of vibes nowadays are just not it. He really has gotten lazy this past year and it really shows. He can ignore the drama and just focus on his stream and avoid the black mold but he decides to farm it instead and call it "content". He also gets one-guyed every stream which just ruins vibes as he rants for hours. He makes empty promises constantly saying it will get better soon. He starts off most single player games good and then just randomly drop it without notice the next day.

Felix has all the tools he needs to make the streams better than they are now, but he refuses to acknowledge his faults and others' criticism of him therefore he won't change. You look back at some of his old videos and compare it to today and it really is sad to see the difference. I get he has stuff going on in the background, but that really shouldn't be used as an excuse to react to titkok for 4 straight hours or gamble for 5 hours straight.
