What the gently caress does that mean?!

The Prestige changes are still in flux and they don't want to promise anything that ends up changing later.

They probably also want to retain the ability to hype and drop surprises, which I agree with.

My main thing is more incentives to play PVP. I only played D1 PVP for light upgrades, exotic quests, or record book stuff. The ornaments unlocked by achievements are cool but I think I'll need more than that.

No 6v6 is not a dealbreaker for me. I actually liked D1 Skirmish because it's less people to worry about. I guess it's maybe not good for "chill PVP with bros" but I don't think I've ever PVP'd in a chill manner anyway

I'm very interested to read the sandbox and weapon balance changes in next week's patch notes

That post shows they don’t get it...not even an acknowledgement that core gameplay issues exist. They think the only complaint is that there aren’t even carrots for the no life squad to chase.

Yeah i posted this in the PC thread but it bears repeating imho: they are going to make it not actively aggravating to play Destiny 2 but you are still very much playing Destiny 2.

Its in direct contradiction to the precis where they said they'd be more open. If you're happy with no actual info despite the immediate promise to do so then you deserve a dumb dead game

unless your core gameplay issues are 4v4 and primary/energy/heavy (and I know for a lot of people they are), everything else is pretty firmly in the "sandbox update" zone, we'll see what they do with the osiris patch

This is pretty much what Reddit and a lot of the Destiny youtubers have been crying about for weeks, so it makes sense that was their main takeaway.

I don't mind 4v4 for clash and supremacy but not for control

clash and supremacy more team focused because like 50% of games I play with pubbies consist of them wandering off 1 by 1 and dying (like in destiny 1) but now 50% of pubbies realise sticking reasonably close to someone and flanking enemies is a good strategy. it's nice in supremacy when you get someone that isn't all that good at pvp rushing in to grab the orbs you missed when you were on a rampage.

control is bad because the smaller maps means the whole loving team rushes from point to point and there aren't enough people to effectively guard two points and hold an advantage.

still, I like destiny 2 because i usually am in a party with one or two rl bros and we shoot aliens and sometimes other players and it's pretty chill.

I'm getting a good lol out of the Masterworks weapons making orbs on multikills. They're fuckin' doubling down on how badly they never want anyone to use their super in pvp. "Hey guys, we hear you don't like the cooldowns in PvE, so here's some extra orbs for you that you'll only see a time or two in PvP, rather than just fix the CD itself."

Wait, so they're keeping all the same lovely armor and guns in-game but just adding ornaments to it to make it look more shiney?

What the gently caress? Even Destiny 1 would completely wipe out all the old vendor gear/weapons and add new stuff every expansion.

I'm assuming they're going to define multikills as 3+ and not count doublekills, which do happen all the time. Be sure to remember that orbs don't generate much super energy.

TBQH, I prefer this since it means players coming into the game at a later date aren't shafted out of a look they might like, which was an issue in D1 until they brought back the old armor sets in those engrams you could buy with silver dust in Y3.

tokens are literally rep from d1 except you pick what character to turn in the rewards on and when to turn in the rewards and no one bitched about d1 rep, what people were complaining about was a blind reliance on RNG for guns and gear. and well

You’re absolutely right and tokens could be cool and good without all the rng as it is now, but now if you’re chasing a weapon you get to buy it whenever it’s the one weapon that shows up for the week :stoked:

imo that is a sufficient amount of carrots for me to chase while they hopefully work out the big poo poo. I understand Bungie's difficulty here. Being open and transparent sounds nice, but if they say "hey we're thinking about doing thing" then realize they can't or shouldn't do thing, then go "hey we're not gonna do thing anymore" people will bitch them out anyway, so.

Masterworks are neat and I'm extremely looking forward to the loving parade of orbs that'll happen in strikes and raids, :lol: if you're sad about the cooldown rates in PvP though, sorry!

Thank you for tuning in to my sa post about upcoming additions and updates to my posting, I have heard your feedback and promise to communicate in a more meaningful manner.

1. More giant dicks in my mouth
- details: in the future I will be putting dicks in my mouth that are larger than usual

2. Future posts will include fondling of balls

I'm the first to bitch when something Is poo poo so this is at least a leap in the right direction.

The token system was mind numbingly enraging to being able to buy what I want is cool and good.

Master whatever the gently caress weps are cool and good too.

I'm happy enough with the changes. Id like to see an increase in armor variants too to adjust from the mobility, recovery and resilience caps but that might come down the road.
