A Smattering of Thoughts for a A Smattering of Thoughts (Destiny)

Hodgepodge. Jumble. Mishmash. You get the jig.

Wall of text? It's only 4,175 words. This... this is light reading. COME ON! Whatever! Fine. All the same, after reading this... I'm both flabbergasted and bemused. In part it's because of the ramble in the format, and in part because answers bring more questions.

Questions like;

• Why, or rather what, caused them to break their "encounter design philosophy"?
  
• How did that become a direction to take?
  
• Why did they think Whisper of the Worm wasn't going to end up just like Black Hammer?
  
• What exactly is the goal of the UI team?
  
• ...Way too many Planning and Foresight questions to list...

I... really... REALLY am being very measured and weighed with my words writing this up.
I'm withholding alot of thoughts... but I'm going to wait it out, and see what part two has in store.

• Supers and PVP in Destiny 2
  
• Armor, Stats, Mods, and Tradeoffs
  
• Powerful Sources, Prime Engrams and the World
  
• Damage numbers, damage stacking rules
  
• And more

I'll finish this by saying I SUPER appreciate the carte blanche honesty on display here. This is cool. This is really cool. But... it's a shame as well that these discussions can tend to be only one sided on the internet, sans the occasional exception. I can give all the thoughts I want, but at this point it feels more like throwing a message into a bottle. Bobbing on these digital seas.
