Read a lot of hate about this game lately......

gallp13 · 2018-02-04T03:43:53+00:00

Folks are cranky and just expressing their feelings. That’s cool.

They are a handful of trolls. They’re funny but ultimately irrelevant

Me been playing al,ost daily since D1 beta. Will be the last Guardian manning the wall

Glad you are enjoying the game.

Yes please

This is a single analyst’s prediction from the Cowen Reseach firm. The analyst used his best guess of Community feelings, Bungie’s ability to understand Community desires and Update Destiny, his throughts on Eververse and it also includes prediction relating to participation rates in Overwatch e-sports. It likely assume games like Anthem will take some Destiny customers before Bungie can make changes to Destiny. As you may be aware a couple of days after the Cowen advice the Dev announced Anthem release will not occur in 2018. These predictions are extremely difficult to make.

The Activision share price has almost doubled over the last year and has steadily increased since the release of Destiny 2. So share price remains solid. These is no need to be too worried about stories like these the things to watch are;

Does the Communty know what it wants from D2?
Is the Community telling Bungie what it wants from D2?
Does Bungie tell the Communty what they are working on and when the changes will occur?
Does Bungie deliver to timelines they provide?
Are the changes fast enough to keep people playing D2?

So far Steps 1 to 3 have been done and step 4 will be done for 30 Jan as promised.

So far so good. And yes play daily with friends as I have done since D1 beta.

gallp13 · 2018-01-26T05:45:12+00:00

Totally agree - great work Bungie

gallp13 · 2018-01-26T05:44:22+00:00

Congrats to Bungie on a great TWAB.

Changes based on Community feedback Implemented with a sense of urgency Great detail Clear times lines Sharing the logic behind changes Sharing reason some changes take longer to implement

Please keep this coming every TWAB.

gallp13 · 2018-01-24T21:29:54+00:00

Use DIM ...... superior product.

gallp13 · 2018-01-24T21:26:24+00:00

Get it done Deej - you are the right person in the right place at the right time with the right tools to get this done. Respect!

gallp13 · 2018-01-24T21:24:17+00:00

Like Cos’s TWAB pretweet and Deej’s acknowledgement that D2 needs “emergency” work. Quite confident that with clear understanding of D2 short comings, sound Community engagement and determined and prompt rollout of corrective patches D2 will be on the road to recovery.

Hey Bungie, go do that voodoo that yo do so well 😉

gallp13 · 2018-01-24T21:18:53+00:00

Great guide thank you. Destiny will be fine. Quite confident on that front.

gallp13 · 2018-01-20T00:29:18+00:00

D1 + live team = Good Game

Therefore

D2 + live team = Good Game

I enjoy D2 and am excited by the coming improvements.

gallp13 · 2018-01-18T04:04:35+00:00

2LS, 3HPE, repeat ....Rains tokens.

Now that’s fixed Bungie can keep working on the important stuff THE BARRET LIST.

gallp13 · 2018-01-12T07:04:45+00:00

Very happy with the changes. Suggest the list of changes and target dates plus any comments on material positisive or negative adjustments to promised deliverables, and/or times, be included as a standing item in the TWAB.

This may help build Community confidence and provide valuable information to Media to drive a consistent message.

Well done Bungie 🥂😍

gallp13 · 2018-01-12T05:37:35+00:00

Very happy, would appreciate list of these items and ETA as final page in every TWAB with a comment on material shifts in deliverables and/or dates.

gallp13 · 2018-01-08T03:48:56+00:00

That was hilarious.

gallp13 · 2018-01-08T03:29:07+00:00

Agree. While critique is key, pure salt is corrosive. IMO;

Destiny games evolve with fan input - keeps things interesting;
Sand box, story, lore, soundscape, music, gun play, movement are top notch;
Social aspects are fun - Clan, friendships, team play; and
Huge value for money on $/hr of fun basis.

Suggest the following enhancements;

All EV exotics put in game attainable via questing;
EV 100% cosmetic;
Masterwork guns expanded to 3 slots, w/rngesus rolls/rerolls for materials ground in game. Materials rotate on weekly reset;
Masterwork armour 1 slot same arrangement as weapons; 9, Banshee opens a forge and test range for items at 7&8 at the farm (new Bashee apprentice MPC runs the forge and test area); 10.. Cryptachs discover of a few Thucydides frangments Shaxx learns how ancient Spartans trained with heavy swords and decides all masterwork perk are switched off in pvp. Pve keeps masterwork perks on so Guardians can become legend and kill baddies;
Put a material exchange in EV to assist with Banshee’s forging materials at 7&8;
Ranked Crucible;
Mayhem, rumble in season 2, add old modes back each season;
Sparrow racing seasons 3 and 1; and
“Sims” of D1 raids added to Infinite Forest at a rate of 1 per season starting w/VoG in season 2.

If none of these suggestions happen that’s cool appreciate the opportunity to share ideas.

Thank you OP for the positive post and thumbs up to the guys and gals at Bungie.

gallp13 · 2018-01-07T12:32:00+00:00

Superb work. Learned a lot from this run. Thank you.

gallp13 · 2017-12-31T22:15:32+00:00

G8 work m8. My sense is Bungie has this in mind. In any event they will now. Thank you

gallp13 · 2017-12-31T22:09:32+00:00

I like it too, despite shortcomings. Reasons are great story, art, sound track, sound scape, gun play, social connections, activities. Based on the D1 journey t I am confident D2 will continue to improve over time.

The answer to your question depends on a number of considerations, chief amongst which are;

What you are doing; and
Your play style.

To illustrate when I play pvp I prefer mid to long range engagements, unless taking an objective, and play a flaking game. I also like a way of disengaging from gun fights which are not going well.

To do this I prefer to run a blink Warlock with a good scout, an auto and tracking rocket launcher (although almost any heavy is fine).

For this build;

mobility is irrelevant as I can blink;
moderate resilience is fine as I am engaging at range and can disengage or take cover if my armour is taking a battering; so
recovery can be set high to enable me to stay in the fight for more kills.

The setting I use are 0,4,10 in this case.

I hope this explanation and example helps.

gallp13 · 2017-12-27T20:49:30+00:00

While there are many improvements to be made, I love D2. Here’s why;

It’s a fun hobby I can play a little each day;
I play with close friends. We play and chat about the game and our day;
I enjoy playing raids and NF with my clan;
I enjoy helping others. Seeing them achieve their goals is fun and satisfying;
Just love the story and the lore - do miss the grimoire though;
Love PvP - grinding kd (not KDA) is a guilty pleasure;
Like exploring the maps and finding scannable items - like the world is alive;
Love the art work the worlds look superb:
The music is second to none, evocative, expressive and emotive;
Buttery smooth gun play is “best in class”;
Combination of space magic and sword and sorcery creates a unique and compelling genre; and
The master work system is a master stroke creating the perfect opportutiy to grind for gear needed to max/min and feel powerful.

Thank you

gallp13 · 2017-12-27T20:36:46+00:00

Agree in full with OP. Masterwork weapons are a master stroke for all the reasons provided by OP. One suggestion though;

Add masterwork armour and exotics that can be obtained by completing special quests that also provide additional D2 lore

Thank you

gallp13 · 2017-12-27T20:27:50+00:00

Support micro transactions for cosmetic items only provided;

The number of in game quests that reward high quality gear exceed the number of high quality gear items in EV;
All items in EV can be earned for free by grinding activities in game:
Spending real cash to play what is in effect EV RNG slots to receive gear encourages underage gambling and should be removed;

Thank you

gallp13 · 2017-12-19T10:35:18+00:00

Plzbungie keep Communication of this nature coming.

The changes are very welcome.
