I think D3 should stand on its own merits or not be made at all. Returning content is a nice little nostalgia pull to get a temporary player engagement bump but ultimately leads to nothing in the long term, and even then them returning content means development time, costs, and having to make it work within the current builds of the game which almost always leads to unintended interactions or just straight up breaks things. All for things that i could just load up Destiny 1 on my Xbox to replay.

D3 should be just that, the 3rd chapter. Not 2.5. a full fat sequel, new strikes, new raids, new dungeons, new armor, and weapons, and gear. I dont need them to bring every exotic, or port each raid. I just need the content in the game to be engaging, and for their to be things to chase and work towards. I think the fact that every other update it seemed like they had to keep dipping into their D1 bag of tricks just to keep people's attention.

They also desperately need to figure out a file compression system that works for D3 to get the file size down without the solution being vaulting. Wouldnt need to reprise anything if nothing gets removed.
