Are many people here still actually playing this game, or is it mostly discussion of design flaws and speculation of what/how things could be fixed? Just curious since another community I looked at had most people going back to Destiny 1 and I was interested in seeing if people here have mostly given up on D2 as well?

I bought it when the first DLC came out (Dec 5) and I'm already bored of it. Got to like 309 on one character, never got to do any nightfalls or raids or anything because no one's playing.

I guess I'm back to my old routine of playing for about 15 hours every time a DLC comes out and that's about it.

I did the first raid only once because I found Calus to be really unfun. I still haven't gotten around to doing the raid lair. I'm enjoying the rest of the game still, though I'll be back to not caring about pvp with mayhem gone.

I'm in the same boat for the first two points, but as far as I'm concerned there's nothing else in the game to enjoy. Getting the present parts to unlock stuff was tedious as all hell, and nobody I know is playing the game anymore at all so I haven't run a strike or anything more than once, and probably never will at this rate.

I'd like to do the raid lair but so far I've been too lazy and preoccupied with the resurrected grind and other games to see if anyone's still doing sessions on discord.

Raid lair is much more crazy fun times, while being a bit more focused. It's basically a larger scale throne room fight with some added steps that don't require 100 different, potentially buggy things to go right every time.

It's from this DTR Podcast

Here's some text I stole from spergtown Reddit:

quote:

He also talked about how Eververse came to existence. He said:
What Bungie decided was we can't do this any more this is too hard for us to do (referring to releasing a DLC every few months) the tools that we're working with are really hard to deal with. it's hard for us to make this much content. it's just hard to make content in general. And they said we're going to do a smaller or drip feed of smaller stuff and we're going to put up the Eververse and make money that way, and Activision said okay. it was a part of their renegotiated deal and they got to a point where they didn't have to be cranking up so much content

Ahahaha gently caress everything. This makes Mass Effect Andromeda look good in contrast. :psyboom:

:stare:

Why do you do this bungie. You have greatness at your fingertips.

Maybe their development tools are just so poo poo and the code is such a mess that they physically can't make this better. But we all saw end of life D1 and it was pretty good.

I love how the kotaku guy keeps repeating how public companies aren’t bad for having to show consistent growth-growth over measuring periods.

It’s almost as if he keeps repeating it because that helps him accept it.

True. But the revelation that this was a bungie idea approved by Activision is new.

I think we all just kinda assumed this was Activision fuckery.

I thought they said, "Eververse will pay for more frequent content additions"?

This looks more like they said, "We'll do Eververse and fewer content additions"?

Yeah this is the point

They basically admit that eververse was an end not a means.

I mean this could be a crazy game of telephone so who knows what exactly went down but that’s the key takeaway from what new info we got from the interview.

if I remember rightly it was initially pitched as 'you can buy emotes and we'll use the money to fund a team to do live events.'

instead it somehow mutated into 'all the loot is in there and you fuckers are going to pay for luke smiths next chin.'

Shoulder charge and Skullfort is fun in PVE but if you go with the lightning punch one instead you're basically healing forever as long as there's something that isn't a knight, captain, or yellow bar to punch, and even then, just shoot your gun and then do it. You can punch so much it bugs out, forgets you're supposed to be able to immediately lightning punch again, then remembers the next time you hit the button and you keep healing. Combine with Crimson and anything out of punchrange is healing you anyway and if you run out of bullets, all of your punches reload Crimson. Between all that and the second grenade's cooldown nerf, I don't bother with that spec anymore.

e: Oh, also since it technically counts as punching every time you punch someone with the Fist of Havoc you heal too with the lightning punch and skullfort spec, and also each punch kill gives you time to punch something else too. It's super fun in PVE.

I run Nameless Midnight, Striker top tree, and Skullfort and everything explodes all the time.





To each their own of course, but IMO you're overthinking it.
