Yep. Pretty much new season means new poo poo from vendors.


Random rolls will be cool.

Slot changes could be... a problem if they're thinking of.moving the current shotguns and fusions or whatever into the energy slot.

Good luck balancing acrius in the current environment.

They would probably pull the entire teams working on Comet and D3 to fix an issue that fun as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, tuned in to a KingGothalian stream earlier where he was talking about the upcoming event where he and a bunch of community members have been invited to Bungie to tell them how to fix their game and he said one of the points he and the others intend to make is that they need to greatly expand the live team supporting D2 otherwise D3 will be dead on arrival because everyone will know what's up and won't waste their time with it. I can totally see Bungie getting D2 into a good state after a few years and having a decent amount of content only to wipe the slate completely clean and gently caress it all up again.

Literally says "Mod Changes are being incorporated into our new plan for Weapon Randomization." like they've been pushed back into the bigger plan for weapons. Which I'm glad for cause just changing the mod system is by no means enough. I don't think any of what they've said is enough tbh.

It would probably be a decent compromise on fixed v. random rolls to make the gun good but also a blank slate to make even better with good mods so you can still get that good gun as a baseline but you can get RNG mods to make it even better and have those "emotional moments" or whatever. There's a lot you could do with that rather than just Masterworks making you shoot effectively slightly further. "Oh sweet I got the SIVA Particle Disruptor mod and now my AR has the SIVA splash damage effect!" and so on.

Public play gets all the maps. Private matches require DLC ownership.

quote:

Season Three marks the beginning of a new plan for how we deliver Crucible content. For every player of Destiny 2, we’ll be releasing all of the new Crucible Maps being developed for Warmind into matchmaking. The same goes for the maps we released with Curse of Osiris. To keep the community in the Crucible unified, everyone will see new arenas in matchmade playlists like Quickplay, Competitive, Trials of the Nine, Iron Banner, as well as the new weekly rotators that include Rumble and Mayhem. That means more opponents for everyone. With the arrival of Private Matches, players will need to purchase each Expansion to have exclusive access to play those Crucible maps with other players in a private match. This plan goes into effect on May 8 with the beginning of Season Three.

There is currently 2 streams for quick play etc.

Osiris quickplay and quicklplay. One has the new maps the other has the vanilla maps + 2.

So the player base gets split.

Now everyone gets new maps expansion or no and theres no separate option.

Its a legit good change. All games should do this.

Never make people pay for maps. Because its a loving map. And it splits your player base. Which makes your game die. And then people don't play and wont spend money.

Yeah, a lot of shooters this generation have started ending this practice and it's pretty awesome. I think COD and BF are the only major franchises that still do it now that Destiny's backing off?

I'm gonna go ahead and guess someone finally got kicked out of development meetings.

4 years for "listen to what the players are telling you" to become something that's done in the Bungie offices.

At least this is better than what we got toward the end of d1

Y'know what game did this? TITANFALL 2. gently caress EA FOR SENDING TITANFALL 2 OUT TO DIE, I WILL LITERALLY NEVER STOP POSTING ABOUT THIS.

Also, Mass Effect 3. Mass Effect 3's multiplayer was the most nonsensically great thing.

I never minded paying for map packs. Still don't, honestly. Like, I will legit pay $20 for 4 new maps IF it's a game I'm having fun in. But I started drawing the line in MW3 because that's when Infinity Ward started to release 3 new maps and a re-skinned old map. At the risk of sounding like an entitled gamer, I feel like old content should always be free.

When Black Ops 2 started selling bacon camo, I think that's when I first became aware of dlc as cash grabs.
