Bungie needs to hire more MMO consultants before they make Destiny 2. They have to learn more about the structure of an actual "social game". You can't force people to be social and that's what they've tried to do. Even when they opened up fireteam chat in Strikes, no one used it. Social aspects of games like these are nice, but a lot of people, including myself like to play solo if none of my friend are on. I don't mind playing casually with randoms, but I don't want to talk to them... especially if they are 11 years old. A game like this should have offered something for everyone, but instead, it neglected everyone with less than 6 friends that could be on at the same time regularly. Raids should indeed contain exclusive loot that only players that do them can get, but they should not be a gate to be stuck behind for players that can't or don't want to do them. I get that Bungie was proud of their one good raid, and wanted everyone to play it, but they went about it the wrong way. Bungie was too proud of what they had made and didn't like the way people circumvented aspects of the game because they didn't want to do them. They didn't like how people favored other aspects of the game either. From the loot cave, to the nerf of auto-rifles, Bungie consistently George Lucas'ed their game. House of Wolves seemed to be a step in the right direction. Interesting story, better reward system, A horde mode they could have expanded on, no raid to get locked behind... all seemed to be going right... and now this. Once again Bungie wants you to play their game, the way they want you to play it... you don't know what is fun, Bungie knows better than you. You'll use the guns and armor they want you to use. Oh you finally just got Fatebringer? Too bad. Hey check out this new strike.... you'll only have to play Archon Priest 5 out of the next 7 Strikes in the rotation before you get to it in a more challenging setting. Btw, here is a new Raid, you kinda sorta have to play it to get to the max level again... you just don't know it yet because we might possibly be trying to trick non raid players into buying this expansion by getting rid of the light system... maybe in 2-3 more chapters we'll let them catch up again. They should have made the core PvE game all you needed to level to max. Public Events should have been stronger, and unsoloable. I'll give them this one though. It's clear the game was neutered by last gen... the 6 person instance limit is ridiculous. If they made Public Events challenging, they would be avoided because it would be impossible to find a full instance most the time. Strikes should have had a diverse reward system that was unique to each strike, thus making them more desirable to play. PvP should have an rewards exclusive to itself, instead of making PvE players play PvP for specific exotics. There should have been exotics/exotic bounties gained via playing PvP only, PvE only, and Raids only. Instead they tried to force each player to play every aspect of the game... that not how MMOs work. The PvPers, The PvErs, and the Raid/Dunegon runners are generally 3 separate hardcore communities, and then you have players that enjoy all aspects. Destiny isn't a true MMO, but it was sold like one, and attracted that type of player base. With almost 1400 hours into Guild Wars 2, I spent the first 1000 doing nothing but PvE. I didn't touch PvP for a whole year. When I played SWTOR, I played nothing but the story, no PvP, no flashpoints, nothing else... Neither one of those games seem to hold me back in accomplishing my goals like Destiny had for not doing ALL the content... I can only imagine how more dedicated players than myself must feel about the game that constantly changes to counteract the way they play.

https://www.vg247.com/2015/08/04/destiny-you-cant-upgrade-year-one-legendaries-in-the-taken-king/ Wow, its not a new game Bungie, its an expansion. The inconsistency is so jarring in this game... "hey lets finally make it reasonable for you to upgrade your old weapons"... "now we aren't going to let you upgrade your old weapons". Now nerfing gally, breaker, and black hammer makes zero sense, because they're going to be left behind... not to mention is makes Hawkmoon useless to XB1 players.

I justify my purchases on gw2 as a monthly fee they deserve... lmao

The Messenger is the best PvP gun in this game right now... its muzzle rise with headseaker makes it a 2 shot kill every time. Its as deadly at long range as shotgun is at close rage. Red Death is a close second. Suros is going to be beast again, but It will probably only be 2nd tier compared to pulse rifles... Red Death was complete garbage in the game's early life, and now its a powerhouse.... I expect people to cry about pulse rifles next and RD will go back to being as crappy as it was when it first came out... The messenger is a real issue however. I own it, and its deadly accurate. Now that Thorn and HC altogether have been nerfed, nothing can come close to it. It has no rival right now in PvP... meaning it will get nerfed sadly.... I'm all for listening to the community... but they aren't always right. Destiny is not an MMO... and even if it was.. the normal rules of an MMO don't apply when FPS is involved... when people love their weapons and you wreck them, you lose audience. Gally should have been nerfed sooo long ago... but Bungie waited way too long to do this and now there is going to be severe backlash. I had high hopes for them outside of Halo and I wish them the best... but they really dropped the ball in so many places with this game.... so many missed opportunities.

Autos getting a buff again. People will be crying about Suros and Hardlight once more. All the rage over gally is hysterical... but Thorn def needed a nerf.

The trailer is so misleading. It attempts to make it look like there is heavy friction between Morgan and Rick... but if you pay closer attention to it, every time there is "dialog" between them its apparent they are two difference scenes. And when Morgan says he knows how to stop rick, it's probably about something totally different... like a bad plan by Rick rather than trying to remove him from power. That being said, it looks like it's going to be a high suspense season. Generally these trailers only cover the first half up to the mid-season finale... and thats a lot of stuff that is going to go down until then.
