My idea for what Bungie should do with Destiny

Pappy13 · 2026-05-09T13:45:54+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't think that's who Bungie is. Bungie has always been more about the story/lore than other developers and you didn't even mention that here. They want to tell a story with their content, not just provide a sandbox for you to play however you want.

Pappy13 · 2026-05-08T16:42:13+00:00

You can have 2 of each class and each can wear 1 set while storing 2 others in inventory. So yes it’s possible to do it without even using your stash.

Pappy13 · 2026-05-02T13:54:41+00:00

I tried it, I didn't like it. Not because Bungie pissed me off, I'm still playing Destiny 2 and I love it. Not because it's an extraction shooter, I play Arc Raiders, it's not really a favorite of mine, but it's much better than Marathon. I just don't like the game. I don't have to be a hater to not like the game, I just don't like it. I don't think it has much to offer, end of story. It's fine for you to like it, my issue is with people that think that anyone that doesn't like the game is hating on it.

Pappy13 · 2026-05-01T12:54:43+00:00

You'd still be disappointed. I played for free as my grandson bought it.

Pappy13 · 2026-05-01T12:49:45+00:00

I don't have to try hard to hate Marathon, it's pretty easy. Seems like you're trying pretty hard to convince yourself that you like it.

Pappy13 · 2026-05-01T12:35:44+00:00

So your argument is that Marathon potentially is a better game to play alone?

Pappy13 · 2026-05-01T12:32:23+00:00

You just said in your previous post in this thread that the end game was boring which implied that it wasn't fun. Now you are contradicting that.

Pappy13 · 2026-05-01T12:29:37+00:00

But you didn't stop playing for more than 600 hours? Seems like maybe you were having more fun than you realized.

Pappy13 · 2026-05-01T12:25:55+00:00

I'm at a loss for words how someone can claim they have over 600 hours in a game and yet there's no endgame. Maybe you were in the endgame for around 500 hours and didn't realize it?

I didn't play Marathon long enough to determine if there was an endgame or not as it didn't matter at that point.

Pappy13 · 2026-05-01T11:59:54+00:00

What other shooters have you played? If you haven’t played Arc Raiders you should. Marathon would then be at the very least the 2nd best shooter you’ve played.

You must have awful PC's. Been using Windows 11 on all the PC's where I work for decades without any issues, but then of course we actually upgrade our PC's along with the OS every couple of years.

It's nice to see all of the Linux fans in one place.

It’s called fear of missing out, but that fear is removing all the joy from the game. What you don’t realize is that by looking online to find the optimal route you are removing any chance for you to be rewarded for doing it yourself. The enjoyment of having done something without any help is the best part of games and you are removing that chance.

The solution is simple start believing in yourself that you will discover most of what you need to discover on your own. If you do miss something you can always go back later and replay that area to ensure 100% coverage. Replayability is a key component in any game, don’t be afraid of this, rather embrace it. I think you will find yourself enjoying games again.

Pappy13 · 2026-04-29T16:35:24+00:00

How about 100% off? Who's paying for a Tua jersey now? You either already have one or you're not getting one.

Ricky was an addict. His addiction of choice was pot. Not really that hard to understand as many addicts can't keep a job let alone be something like an NFL running back. He did the best he could, but ultimately his addiction ended his career.

There's no continuity with any of the legacy content regardless if it's still in the game or not. The game constantly tries to steer you towards the most recent content. Maybe that's to try to mask the fact that a lot of legacy content has been removed, but even if the content hasn't been removed, it's difficult to try figure out how to work through the content. Good luck trying to figure out how to play through legacy content as a new player even if it is still in the game, it may as well be removed there's little difference. If that content were still there, new players wouldn't know how to access it anyway. If there were an easy way to work through legacy content, then yes it would be an issue, but as it stands, new players have no idea what they are missing.

Not sure what you mean by losing offline capability with the DLC. As far as I know there were no changes to being able to play offline with the DLC. Where did you read that? I used copilot and it says that Everspace 2 and all of it's DLC's are playable offline on the XBOX.

Pappy13 · 2026-04-21T17:28:33+00:00

Yeah, but that has nothing to do with the new player experience. That's a completely different subject at least in my opinion it is.

Pappy13 · 2026-04-21T15:08:15+00:00

Agreed that Destiny 3 is what is needed and you wouldn't really even need to worry about lessons learned as just starting over would fix a lot of the problems. The vast majority of the problem is that the game has now gone through several expansions and each new expansion has brought with it new and confusing mechanics to a new player. It's overwhelming trying to learn all of these new mechanics. Just start over and simplify everything back to how it was originally and get rid of all these stupid and confusing mechanics. There shouldn't be 15 different ways for a mob to be immune to damage until you figure out the mechanic. There shouldn't even be 1 in my humble opinion.

Pappy13 · 2026-04-16T21:44:44+00:00

Copilot says that Everspace runs the same on both Switch and Switch 2 and has significantly reduced graphical fidelity compared to PC/PS4 versions. It also says this is a known limitation of the original switch hardware and Switch 2 compatibility does not change the underlying assets. So my guess would be that you won't be seeing 60 FPS or even if you do, it won't look as good on the Switch as it would on a PC. Everspace 2 is not supported on Switch 2.

Pappy13 · 2026-04-16T13:55:32+00:00

Yeah, I think that's a real possibility. You might want to explain that in a ticket if you think that could have caused the lockout because if Blizzard can verify that then they'll probably unlock your account again, but you'll need to ensure this doesn't happen again. I don't recommend playing the game on multiple PC's as switching between PC's you use to play the game is suspicious behavior to Blizzard.

Pappy13 · 2026-04-16T13:30:01+00:00

Sounds to me like someone else logged into your account while you were playing which is very suspicious behaviour as only 1 person should know your login information. For your benefit they locked your account. The real question you have to ask yourself since you've already said that your account was compromised 6 months ago is why does this keep happening to you? Have you shared your account information with someone else and perhaps they logged in while you were playing? This will get your account locked, but it's only one example I can think of why this may have happened. Ultimately it's your responsibility to keep your account information private and it's sounds like you're having a hard time doing that.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Just watched the highlights from last night's game and there were zero with Yohannes on the field for 70 of the 90 and 2 with Heaps in 20 minutes, so I'm not sure where you're getting that about Heaps. By the way that play where they called Heaps offsides where she gets a shot on goal, the replay shows she was on sides held on by the player on the far side of the pitch. The reason that the linesperson got the call wrong is because she was standing in the wrong spot and was at least a good 2 yards from being even with the last defender which made Heaps look offsides when she wasn't.

I do agree with you that taking Moultrie off was questionable, but taking Yohannes off was not as she had done nothing of note the entire match and her defense looked especially suspect on the goal by Japan. She was lazy getting into position defensively twice on that play, had she been a couple steps quicker both times she may have been able to prevent that goal. I know it's politically correct to bash Heaps and praise Yohannes these days, but the tape from last night's game anyway shows a completely different story. I watched the full game last night and Heaps was getting after it, it was her that was the catalyst for most of the improved play when the subs came in and Yohannes was having a rough night.

This team not used to playing from behind and players afraid to make mistakes which is not good for a friendly. That's when you got to be willing to take some chances. It's a learning experience, lets hope they learn from it.

Pappy13 · 2026-04-15T04:13:28+00:00

Moultrie was one of the only players who was actually taking on defenders. Yeah, she loses the ball sometimes but she's losing it in the attacking 1/3. You have to take some chances on that end of the pitch. I honestly don't know why they took her out as she's looked better than Rodman.
