The article, the comments, all of it. I have put zero time into this event. I won’t buy Forsaken on day one. I absolutely am waiting for the reviews. And holy cow, I hope Forsaken ends up being good. If this thing fails, bury Destiny.

The thing that I find amusing is that you will probably hit 400 in less than 30 minutes while playing Forsaken for the first time, since the cap is 600. So the only reason to do it is if you somehow LIKE the grind. I might play through the remixed campaign missions, but the armor will stay green.

Bingo. I’ve had a fun enough time doing Crucible and Raids on occasion. Not even at 370 light. I want New Spindle, but I can wait until later. We already rock the Raid mechanics without it, gun would just be gravy at this point. Not wasting time on this weak event (clarification edit: Solstice), and didn’t need the article I linked to to make that choice. Such a focus on this thread on shaders. Shaders could be the straw that broke the camel’s back for people. Easier to dismiss anger than get where it’s coming from, though. D2 wastes a ton of player time by design. Oh and before the accusations come out, nope, I’m not mad in the slightest. You don’t see me grinding away and wasting my time. I got fooled enough in D1 and just long enough after D2 launch to learn from it. Doesn’t mean others out there, be it here at DBO or around the internet or not posting at all anywhere (or playing anymore as a result of all of this) aren’t upset or concerned.

Next game in a new IP please.

You mean the one they are developing with the financial backing of a company that generally makes shitty free to play online games? A company that runs portals devoted to monetization? Sounds good, sign me up!

Man, I didn’t know that. I was hoping for a more back to basics thing from Bungie. Trying to make games that have a soul. Crucible is relatively soulless, but I have fun with it. I enjoy the Leviathan, and I really really like Eater of Worlds. But Destiny 2 may as well be more of D1 at this point. In so many bad ways. Especially with respect to our time. I hope that a company and its backing for Bungie won’t lead to the stuff you’re implying.
