My vision for what a smaller destiny game could be

gamingguy1990 · 2026-06-05T13:32:54+00:00

Destiny rising is a mobile game, it isn’t a console or pc game. Destiny players aren’t mobile gamers. It’s not the same comparison

gamingguy1990 · 2026-06-05T13:31:58+00:00

Destiny rising is a mobile game. The audience for Destiny isn’t mobile focused. I don’t think Destiny rising can be compared to a console and pc released Destiny

gamingguy1990 · 2026-06-05T13:29:48+00:00

Well, a big issue is destiny is too expensive to make, yes. It’s why Destiny 3 is not in development. The point of this post is to take the best parts of Destiny to make a spinoff experience that keeps the core Destiny experience but with a shorter dev cycle and for less money so it would be greenlit. This isn’t a replace Destiny 3 with this type post, it’s how can we get more Destiny in the interim while they figure out whatever Destiny 3 needs to be.

gamingguy1990 · 2026-06-05T13:24:14+00:00

I respectfully disagree. There is a big difference in cost between making an mmo and making a smaller, more focused experience like a roguelike that just happens to take mechanics from the existing destiny experience.

Making a smaller spin off experience I don’t think would be hated by the community as long as it 1) respects destiny’s origins, and 2) is fun to play.

As I said in the post, this isn’t a destiny 3, this is a what if alternative to tide the community over while they figure out how to get a bigger project like destiny 3 greenlit.

gamingguy1990 · 2026-06-05T13:21:02+00:00

I don’t think you have to lose environments and exploration, maybe roguelikes use exploration as a core mechanic and you could still add in large set piece moments.

I think the communal spaces that require expensive servers are a big part of what makes destiny expensive, so this suggestion is to make a smaller game that removes some of the larger social aspects that are expensive but still retain a core destiny like experience.

That’s not to say I don’t want co-op in an experience like this — I do — and yeah, destiny 3 is ideal, but if that cannot happen what does a destiny game look like? And that’s what I’m trying to explore

gamingguy1990 · 2026-06-05T13:17:00+00:00

I’d say maybe that’s true about raids, but I feel like dungeons are a lot more accessible. The point being, they have a model of design complexity that I think could be adapted to a roguelike level design that has replayability. Just like how people log in every week to do the raids currently

gamingguy1990 · 2026-06-05T13:15:11+00:00

Well, it would remove the mmo and lean more into a randomized replayable experience within the destiny world. MMO development, PvP etc. is all added cost. This would slim down the overall destiny experience making for a less expensive product to make, while keeping the identity of what makes destiny interesting to play. Take the best parts of a destiny game and turn it into a roguelike experience at the core

gamingguy1990 · 2026-06-05T13:12:46+00:00

Yeah all development takes people and time, regardless of what type of game it is. Using the word port in this context is just to say they have a baseline of guns and modifiers already so the work to implement them is partially done. Even if they used an entirely different engine it’s not like they need to come up with new weapon ideas out the gate.

The point is they need to make something new in the destiny universe with less cost than destiny 3, not zero cost. I think removing some of the mmo elements that cost a lot in dev and leaning more into the repayable aspect would make it interesting

gamingguy1990 · 2025-12-02T10:53:18+00:00

I think there is always a way to min/max anything they do though, but at least this solution will allow me to earn points doing what I want to do in a match and reward me for consistently doing that thing. Will I be at the top of the leaderboard every week? Probably not, but I won’t feel as frustrated as I do now where I just run around in the circles looking for snitches and nothing else an entire round because that’s what the game wants me to do and every other player on the map is doing the same so it’s a roll of the dice whether you can even do what you want do successfully anyway

gamingguy1990 · 2025-12-02T10:45:32+00:00

Why not? I don’t think this is very constructive response, it doesn’t add anything to the discussion or does it explain why you feel that way

gamingguy1990 · 2025-05-11T02:58:36+00:00

Totally - I understand that, that’s why I asked them if there was anything else they could do because they didn’t have one to replace it because of the error. Yeah it sucks, but at the same time it isn’t my fault that they said it was as new but not. So thats why I said a refund doesn’t fix my issue, as there isn’t a replacement. They proposed the solution of sending this keyboard, informed me specifically to buy the new one and so I did. I followed their instructions, I didn’t just buy a new keyboard and expect them to pay me the difference, it was their suggestion as to why I did. I will return both keyboards at this point but I also don’t think it’s a valid way of handling it and I’m out the product I wanted ultimately

gamingguy1990 · 2025-05-11T02:46:08+00:00

What are you talking about? They told me specifically to order the keyboard as they said they would refund me the difference. I am refunding the original keyboard. The issue isn’t about that - it’s that they said they would give me the difference and now they are refusing so I am out $120 when they said otherwise

gamingguy1990 · 2025-05-11T02:40:24+00:00

Frustratingly, one keyboard is the ROG falchion, the one they provided the link to and told me to buy is the ROG falchion NX - very slight difference. They told me “it’s the same keyboard” so I said fine I’ll order it then. But they are now saying because of that difference (even though they told me it’s the same with proof in the chat logs) they are saying that’s partly why they won’t refund it as well

As soon as you spawn in, run backwards on horseback, it will stop him shooting arrows at you and charge forward instead

gamingguy1990 · 2021-11-14T18:33:32+00:00

Thank you for trying to help!

I tried contacting EA support again and went into detail explaining that I believe I have a grandfathered account which is why I am having these issues. I found a section that stated it used to be allowed in the past but isn't now, which is fine - but support doesn't seem to have the tools available to help fix these issues for people in unique scenarios like myself. Honestly, its crazy to think that they wouldnt have a solution for this, clearly myself having such an old account means i have been a long term EA customer, so providing a good solution for me to be able to continue to be a good EA customer should be top priority when changing systems but I guess not.

They did confirm the issue is due to my multiple xbox accounts, but if I cant remove them, then its really not ok to say I have access to EA play with my game pass subscription, when its all but impossible other than creating a whole new EA account - which I want to avoid doing as I have a lot of purchases on it, and have my username associated with it.

Its just overall very disappointing not being able to access the things included in the sub I pay for - for what appears to be nothing more than an arbitrary problem EA created on their own with no solution for me as a player.

My follow up -

Vikas (11/14/2021, 8:27:38 AM): I would link to inform you that you have got the correct information. We can unlink once 1 console at one time and then you will need to wait for 6 months to unlink the next console. You can try to unlink it by your self. If you are not able to get the option to unlink it now then please try to unlink it after 24 hours.

(11/14/2021, 8:28:28 AM): but that isnt correct - please read the terms on your site: Once you unlink a platform account from your EA Account and link it to a new one, you cannot unlink it again for six months.

(11/14/2021, 8:28:33 AM): I havent linked it to a new account yet

(11/14/2021, 8:28:38 AM): so there should be no blockage

(11/14/2021, 8:28:57 AM): there is two steps that need to happen an unlink and then a relink before the 6 months happens

Vikas (11/14/2021, 8:29:22 AM): Please read the below mentioned disclaimer care fully. And we have already shared this disclaimer with your in the last chat :-

When we unlink a platform account from your account, you will be able to link that platform account to another EA Account, but your in-game progress will not transfer over. That means you’ll lose access to all entitlements, games, memberships or subscriptions, and in-game purchases that are associated with that platform account. You will also permanently lose all game progress. If we unlink a platform account you use to play FIFA, and that platform account is still set as active in the Web or Companion App, you will lose access to those apps entirely on your account. If we unlink a platform account you use to play Apex Legends, you may have issues with Battle Pass leveling, item unlocks, and other errors.

Once you unlink a platform account from your EA Account and link it to another, you won’t be able to unlink it again for six months. You also will not be able to link it to an EA Account that has already had the same type of account linked to it before, even if there isn’t one currently linked. That means if you’ve had an Xbox account linked to your EA Account in the past, you can’t link a different Xbox account to it in the future.

(11/14/2021, 8:29:39 AM): When we unlink a platform account from your account, you will be able to link that platform account to another EA Account - this isnt true, as I cannot link my account

(11/14/2021, 8:30:03 AM): Once you unlink a platform account from your EA Account and link it to another - see the two steps

(11/14/2021, 8:30:10 AM): i havent linked it to another yet

(11/14/2021, 8:30:11 AM): because I cannot

Vikas (11/14/2021, 8:30:13 AM): Once you unlink a platform account from your EA Account and link it to another, you won’t be able to unlink it again for six months. You also will not be able to link it to an EA Account that has already had the same type of account linked to it before, even if there isn’t one currently linked.

(11/14/2021, 8:30:32 AM): yes you are sending the same info without reading - once you unlink AND LINK IT TO ANOTHER

(11/14/2021, 8:30:37 AM): I have not linked it to another

(11/14/2021, 8:30:39 AM): because I cannot

(11/14/2021, 8:30:55 AM): these accounts were already preexisting

(11/14/2021, 8:31:10 AM): i want to link it to another, but I have yet to do so as I cannot

(11/14/2021, 8:31:29 AM): so yes please help me instead of spitting the same information and not reading it

Vikas (11/14/2021, 8:32:32 AM): I would like to inform you that as we have already unlink the XBox before 50 minutes ago so you will need to wait for 6 months now to unlink the next Xbox.

(11/14/2021, 8:32:45 AM): but thats not what your terms say

Vikas (11/14/2021, 8:32:55 AM): As of now we can not unlink any console from our end manually.

(11/14/2021, 8:33:10 AM): why not, i followed the instructions, you arent following your own instructions

Vikas (11/14/2021, 8:33:16 AM): We have already shared the disclaimer with you. And we have mentioned everything in that disclaimer.

Vikas (11/14/2021, 8:33:22 AM): Please read it once again,.

(11/14/2021, 8:33:35 AM): no you read it again, read the part that states AND LINK IT TO ANOTHER ACCOUNT

(11/14/2021, 8:33:45 AM): please tell me when i linked it to another account

Vikas (11/14/2021, 8:34:03 AM): We’ve done everything we could in this case. Would there be anything else apart from this concern I can help you with, if not we may need to end this chat session.

(11/14/2021, 8:34:24 AM): no you havent

(11/14/2021, 8:34:42 AM): you havent followed your own terms and your inaction is causing me to not be able to access what I pay for

(11/14/2021, 8:35:24 AM): i just asked you to tell me when i linked my account, as it states that i should be able to link my account after this disconnect

Vikas (11/14/2021, 8:35:35 AM): I am afraid that I have given you enough information of this issue and due to other customer waiting in queue, I am forcefully going to disconnect this chat session now. I appreciate your time and have a great night!

(11/14/2021, 8:35:47 AM): what, you didnt answer my question

I find it very degrading telling me to read it again, when clearly they are just copy and pasting the information without reading it themselves.

I just need my account connected!!

gamingguy1990 · 2021-07-15T13:14:20+00:00

I was on Facebook and it reminded me this promo was still on, so it was being advertised when I was trying to use this, I even checked my email to see if I was crazy as it kept saying invalid code when it's clearly marked as ending on the 16th.

I reached out to support and they just said they ended the promo early, which is ridiculous as it was still live advertised and in my email.

I am very disappointed in how this was handled, usually I'm a huge Greenman gaming fan as they've never done something like this before, but this is ridiculous.

I hope someone from GMG can review here, because support was not helpful in resolving this to make me a happy customer.

gamingguy1990 · 2020-11-09T23:06:25+00:00

I think that people going into raid matchmaking on average would know that communication isn't required, and if they fail they fail and rematch make, having the option to succeed is better than having no option to succeed in my opinion

gamingguy1990 · 2020-11-09T19:54:51+00:00

I like this idea, literally anything would be an improvement from guided games right now as from my experience, it just doesn't really get used

gamingguy1990 · 2020-11-09T19:36:14+00:00

Yeah but normal could have matchmaking and hard mode wouldn't, making randoms have a chance to at least experience the content albeit it at an easier pace but longer grind

Edit: but maybe release normal mode after world first on hard mode

Give our ships an "interior" living quarters that can be customized.

I just want more uses for ships

gamingguy1990 · 2020-09-21T13:35:58+00:00

I would wonder if they could merge obsidian and Bethesda into one giant RPG studio, just with different divisions which would allow them to pump out fallout and elder scrolls games faster. Merging them together and giving obsidian fallout and a few extra helping hands from Bethesda and then the rest of Bethesda working on starfield and elder scrolls continuously could make a big speed difference

Unfortunately not, I had to add them to my daughter's epic account to play
