Ok fine whatever my point is if I actually want to do them all then I get to hold six primary weapons instead of nine and when it's barfing blues at me that's sort of a pain if I want to actually play around with my purps. Meanwhile there was just a menu for quests in Destiny 1. "Constantly throw the quests in the trash until you want to do it" isn't a great solution to that!

I can only assume that when they deleted the old bounty code it broke the quest system and screen and then someone decided to rip all that out too rather than fix it. Add it to the list of stuff they had finally gotten working in D1 and then threw out for a ground-up redesign for no reason, I guess.

Again i'm just pulling raw conjecture out of my rear end, but I suspect that they started D2 with the intent of reworking everything from the ground up. Intending to have a nice, clean engine and toolset instead of the cobbled-together mess they ended up with by the end of Y3. Then the mid development reboot happened and they had to cobble together something to get it out the door, which is why it's missing so many of D1's features.

Their working pipeline is probably more like this:

- People working on Destiny 3
- People working on DLC4
- People working on DLC3
- People working on Eververse
- 1 guy for live maintenance, this guy take frequent days of.

If you zoom on one of these pipelines:

- People working on DLC4:
* Some unfinished ideas, some cool, some fun
* Some cool maps, some dumb, some cool
* A large backlog of changes to merge with the DLC4 version, growing each day
* Weapons that only have art, not stats or code attached

Then they do poo poo like take some from "the future" and adding to the present. Like how IO was supposed to be a Mars area, but have ended has a new planet in the released version. Maybe the playable part of IO was part of DLC#2, but they took it to make the release version look bigger.

Then you have the tools that are horrible and need a lot of massaging and secret chanting to convince to the the right thing.

I still like what Bungie create, I will probably buy DLC#3 whatever it ends including.

The massive pile-up of ships getting endlessly hammered by the tide would be great to use, too. It's a pity that the bobbing ground effect is onlytured in the first two minutes of the intro stage.

There would probably be issues if there was anything other than static scenery and the first-person camera on that ground, Naughty Dog had to do a ton of work for playable dynamic environments in the Uncharted games. Wonder if you'd see any weirdness in co-op.

I'm surprised they haven't tacked-on more D1 content to DLC to pad it out and make it feel more worthwhile. CoO would have been a great excuse to bring back Venus and all the Venus PvP maps, for example, and if the next DLC focuses on Rasputin why not bring back the Cosmodrome and PvP maps from that location as well? Seems like an effortless way to really boost the content in the game, especially if they're already recycling old exotics anyways, why not bring more old content back as well?

And work.. as D2 illustrates is not what Bungie is here to do.

Also again i ask how many new exotics were in CoO. And i mean weapons or armor that werent rehashes. 5? 6? Looootta effort there.

Best thing they can do at this point is save most of the changes to drop along side Expansion 2 and recognize that they're going to be getting it from the back for the next few months.

I'm shocked they didn't use that infinite forest as an in-game excuse to re-use D1 content.

They'd have to integrate that into the D2 content pipeline, redo the majority of the art assets including the terrain geometry, and then actually design new content + script it. And if scripting is like D1, I pity the content team for having to deal with these tools.

I doubt Bungie's art team would accept straight porting things over anyway.

i was gunna say cant they just copy and paste over some stages but then i realized in destiny 1 it took like 9 hours to move a bush so we'd probably be waiting for the heat death of the universe just to port in that first rise of iron stage

Bungie mentioned in their nonapology yesterday that they were genuinely shocked by the poor CoO reception and dlc 2 is delayed so that they can incorporate the feedback. This wasn't laziness or rushed timelines, they just had no clue what makes for worthwhile content and they already planned to give you an identical second helping.
