I dont know where the "we want more races of bad guys" thing comes from the game already suffers enough from a lack of focus with having 4 different alien races plotting to end all life as we know it.

A variety of interesting things to shoot is more important then story.

Bungie should to develop a social space where you can interact with the enemy types. Sit down at a table with a vex goblin, get a cup of tea and really get to know the guy, understand his backstory and motivations. Then in the future when you meet on the battlefield you have a real respect for where he's coming from. That's how you make an interesting enemy.

A Fallen Vandal reminisces about his goth and cyberpunk phases and what silly fads they were in retrospect. He then puts on his hat with gears glued to it and says he has to be going.

It's not the actual lore for Toland (yet) but according to one of the dialog variants for the broodhold strike it is canon that the Mindbender hosed the Brood Queen.

Toland befriended the Hive wizard boss from Crota's End and she screamed at him to death, his soul lived on though.

Shadowkeep gives us Spicy Hive?

D3 gives us the Darkness which are all the current enemies but in a smoky form (think Taken but all black instead of black and white, and all enemies can do the smoke teleport thing that Scorn do)

Here's my hot take: Destiny 2 is better than Destiny 1 now.

I think some stuff is better and some stuff is worse. Would anyone really consider PvP to be anywhere near as good as it was in D1? D1 definitely had much better map variety and content as well, but then again D2 PvP does seem to have more variety than I remember D1 having so who knows. Personally I just miss a lot of D1 maps :shobon:

I don't think many people are asking for more races? In my opinion the enemy variety (and AI) is already leagues ahead of other shooters. With D1 I hoped that they would increase the weapon variety since it was a bit stale for a space shooter at launch, and since then they've done a really good job of expanding the weapon pool with sidearms, swords, submachine guns, grenade launchers, bows, linear fusion rifles, trace rifles etc. and I'm excited to see what else is added to the series in the future. They showed some new melee finisher mechanic for Shadowkeep and I like the way that they slowly expand stuff like this.

Getting the "Respawning restricted" warning as a Vex goblin runs to a gatelord and starts beeping that you mistook his uncle Clyde's brain juice for milk and consumed him as part of a beverage.

What did we all use in the D1 days? Discord wasn't a thing but I remember that we'd just hop into chat somewhere and ask who was down for Trials/Nightfall/Raid and there was always people online so it only took a few minutes to have enough for a full team. Was it IRC? I remember going lighthouse in Trials with a couple goons and nobody using headsets, just typing the odd callout instead.

Just post in Discord because all the regulars look for raids that way.

Oh and posting a "hey I'd like to do a raid right the gently caress now for fun" works.
