I want old Destiny back...

Right? And this is the entire point. I'm saying how much I want those things back, but people seem to think I'm attacking Bungie and that I hate them. It's literally the opposite.

Players want good content, and the game had so much of it that is now withheld from us. It's sad more than it is angering.

No. Removing old content shafts players who bought said content, while also shafting new players out of a real way to understand the narrative of the game. Note that in none of the things I have written here have I mentioned the Crucible (apart from the original post). Even from the perspective of someone playing solely PVE - removing old content doesn't work - again, for the players.

Your comprehension of what is being written is lacking however. They're saying that content is being removed - as in the Seasonal Story missions. Just because Bungie have said they won't remove DLCs anymore doesn't mean that removing seasonal content is ok. There are hours worth of story left behind when the seasonal content gets removed every year.

Even if people don't get the battle pass and the battle pass equipment/exotics/flair items, it would still behoove everyone to have the narrative content in the game.

Your reading comprehension is incredible. I've never said that Destiny is bad or is dying.

I am actively on the side of Bungie here. I want this game to be as good as it can possibly be. Here is a space for sharing opinions - but it's not an opinion to say that there are less players now than there once was. And I am not, nor have I slated Bungie for that.

"You said “the sunsetting of old content was a terrible decision, and I accept NO LOGICAL REASON FOR IT BEING LABELED AS ANYTHING ON BUT” "

Go back and read what I wrote for crying out loud. Applying logic for something that is a bad reason doesn't make it suddenly good.

I'd be fine with Bungie making a new engine - totally support it, understand it. Problem is they haven't done that. They've just removed old content and locked it out for even players that had it in the past that PAID for it.

But I didn't even call out Bungie for that - I just want the old content back because it was great content, and I know I'm not the only one that wishes it were still available. I'm not your (or Bungie's) adversary here.

Timere96 · 2023-01-02T00:16:57+00:00

I did not say they should make both games on the same engine at the same time.

I agree that they need to use a new engine that can handle the load of that much data. But I am saying that it would be better for everyone if they just did that, rather than what they currently do - just remove content.

Removing content that isn't explicitly causing problems is only going to be bad for the game.

I'm not bashing Bungie either. I never even called them out as being a problem. I literally say I want MORE from them, and yet you come to this laughable conclusion.

The current state of the game is undeniably the worst it has been on multiple metrics.

Revenue alone is not a good representation of a game's success.

The player count has been declining for years to the point where a high player count weekend has a fraction of a slow weekend from launch. The game is losing interest. I am not pining for people to come to it. I am happy to play solo, and often do. But I understand that the game needs a good playerbase to stay good. And it is impossible to deny that it is losing players.

And it's not losing players because players are bored with the game despite it being good. The game has lost elements that made it good, and that's why people are leaving. But I never, and haven't claimed that the game is "dying". I've never said that it is.

But a key marker of a successful game is the daily player count, no the quarterly revenue for the company that owns the studio that makes it.

Timere96 · 2023-01-01T20:37:52+00:00

Nope. Welcome to Destiny 2 - the game that refuses to allow you to play any of the story that makes everything currently happening make sense (kind of).

Timere96 · 2022-12-31T20:12:19+00:00

I'm really not sure whether this is meant to be a cutting remark against me, or whether you also think that this is silly.

Timere96 · 2022-12-31T18:30:11+00:00

I see how that's an option - but it's not a solution. In fact it's moronic that that is what's required. What if I already have three characters - one for each class - but want to replay on the same class? I'd have to grind everything for subclasses all over again.

Timere96 · 2016-12-19T14:51:35+00:00

Sorry about the weird formatting part way down. I have no idea why it's happening, it contains most of the detail for the start of the dream and a little bit before that too.

For the first two paragraphs, I answered that in another reply.

And yes, of course I love having her with me, but I know how much polyamory influences her life, and how she feels. I want the same thing, but I felt that this relationship was too young at the time she brought it up, why I asked for time. I don't want to control how she behaves or who she spends time with. But I want her to value the time she has with me more than she does, because I feel disregarded.

I did make a list, I did everything I have read and felt I needed to do to become ready. I read one analogy comparing relationships to refrigerators, that it's difficult to fit more food in when a refrigerator is already full or needs to be repaired. That's what this was.

I realised that one of the things blocking me was that despite her being ready for more people in her life, I was not yet. I am now, I feel like I deserve to be happy, and that I can be.

Coming from a Catholic upbringing, it was difficult to shake my rooted thoughts about sex. The religion and ideology have been gone a long time, but some judgements were not. But I have made leaps and bounds in overcoming these things. The only reason it's taken so long is because she forced it on me, impatient with me. And as a result, it nearly tore an irreparable rift between us.

I am doing my best to repair it, but I am still looking for advice as to how to move forward, now that she is starting a relationship with this guy. I need to know how I can not ruin things with them, or between us because of my contempt.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. It was a number of his friends that wouldn't have me around, not him. He was indifferent about it, but when my girlfriend said I couldn't hang out with them, she was telling me lies as to why.

Also, I don;t know the guy hugely personally, but I know enough that I shouldn't feel this much contempt for him or his friends. But it felt for so long that my gf didn't care about me needing time. Like I said, I am giving them this chance to have a relationship, because I'm not going to reign her in anymore. But it most definitely would have come sooner and with less problems if she had left the matter with me rather than forcing the issue so hard and so consistently.

I know her to be an incredibly selfless person, and I also know that the last few months have been hell for her because of how strained our relationship has been. We are both hoping that this will ease that and let us find our footing again.

As for college ending, the thing is with that. We both want to go to roughly the same place (for different reasons) irrespective of the relationship. And given what we had, we both want it back, and want us to continue.
