is there another content drop happening pre TFS or this was it?

Destiny 2: Into the Light content update (whatever it is, I don't think much about it has been revealed yet?) in April, and some new PvP maps in May are what's left, I think.

I like that we're still waiting on that last radio message for the season to find out if Crow died on his way back to his home planet or not

The last radio message and the epilogue mission, which we know is called "Closer to the Heart" after the triumph prematurely unhid itself

It crashes *other* people? This explains a lot lol

Also I love people still not somehow knowing that for proper rewards (platinum) you gotta actually kill the champs in nightfalls. Did a nightfall where someone despawned champs as much as they could and then complained about not getting the NF weapon in firetean chat lol

There’s also netlimiters and lag switchers. They will report you for a bad connection and get you suspended from PVP. Great design there.

Because it's developed by Bungie and feels amazing when it's going right.

I mean, there's a difference between having fun with and taking it seriously.

I just kind of want to shitpost and be like "lmao might as well be competitive slot machine" but for serious, I just don't really have a lot of respect for a game labeling itself as "competitive" or placing prestige in pvp modes where players can come in with big power deltas or there's tons of loot/build nonsense.

Like consider something like Halo or Counterstrike, where just about anything you need to be on equal competitive footing is instantly at your finger tips. I don't doubt pros can get to the lighthouse on a fresh account in short order, or get their in blues or whatever, but I still don't respect the game pretending it's a "competitive" game mode.

"Man is the animal that thinks something is wrong."
Bungie knows exactly the kind of support and infrastructure a competitive PvP game needs - they’ve demonstrated that with what little they have announced of Marathon so far - and they’ve never even pretended any of it is coming to Destiny.

Isn't "competitive" what they were aiming at on Destiny 2's release, and that's not what Destiny fans wanted and it never had a comp scene so they walked it all back?

A little of that and a little of retooling everything to favor the competitive players, except they also hated and didn't ask for the changes and in at least one alpha told them this sucks

Bungie didn't listen and so Year 1 began

They didn't have private matches until like forsaken I think? I vaguely remember something about people trying to do a tournament before that, and the amount of network glitching and fuckery was astronomical just to get it so the two teams would match.

the first year of d1 crucible was the most fun I ever had in destiny

there were vehicles and stuff. big maps. early trials. it was weird and varied and lots of fun. crucible was the best way to gear up for vault of glass because it didn't involve running the same strike one hundred times

The more focused on being competitive a game gets the less it appeals to anyone who isn't interested in competitive gaming. And for Destiny, that's a lot of people. I'm obviously not against balancing and all that, but I just don't think Destiny is ever getting the comp gamer demographic like Counterstrike or whatever. I like playing Crucible. I *was* enjoying solo Trials. If PvP in this game became "practice and git gud or die instantly" then I'm simply not gonna play it again because I have much better things to spend my time on.

I think the funniest thing is how many "buffs" they're giving us which are just nerfs being walked back from back when. The real dream is to completely decouple PvP and PvE, so PvE can have much more silly abilities and things to do while ramping up the difficulty for bonkers levels of fun, while PvP can have the hardware mode or whatever, but realistically that's never going to happen. But nothing sucks more than your favourite exotic or ability being nerfed because of a mode you never even play, regardless of which mode you play.
