I still want a raid CP where instead of a bossfight we have to fight 6 souped-up hive guardians, who put down a rally banner on the opposite side of the map when you do

This sounds like a pretty fun take on a Horde Mode PvE activity, to be honest. I�m all for it!

I'm still fairly surprised we haven't seen a Dares of Eternity type activity where there's two groups of Guardians 'competing' with each other in two parallel PvE arenas, where stuff they do on one side affects the other.

... wait that's just Gambit with the serial numbers filed off isn't it.

Frankly, I kind of wish that Bungie would rework Gambit into something other than what it currently is now. It�s pretty obvious that the Gambit as it exists in it�s current incarnation doesn�t exactly engage the player community.

Yeah, the Taken Phalanxes have pretty much taken the number one Kill ASAP spot that was reserved for Taken Captains in Destiny 1.

Maybe a stupid question but if I were to reinstall Destiny 2 on my PS5 and connect my account to Bungie, same as my Steam account where I have all my bought Destiny expansions, I will still have to repurchase everything again for the PS5, right?

yes.

you will be able to use gear though- ie. you get an exotic from paid content on pc, you can use it on console

but if you want to access the activities, you need to rebuy.

I forget how stasis works.

Stasis is A-OK, from what I�ve seen this far. I take it that it would be too easy that everything would be included if I straight up buy Lightfall?

Uh what, they�re sisters

Also, Ana�s dating some scientist in the Last City named Camrin. There�s a bunch of lore entries about it, and this season had a post-Heist voice exchange about Elsie wanting to meet her

Bungie even has a comic about them on the webpage, IIRC.

Not gonna lie, I was low key hoping that Bungie would unveil all the vaulted planets after the fight in the raid with the planetarium

Yeah, I�m basically running with two secondaries when I play in any Lightfall related content nowadays since primaries feel like they hit like a wet noodle.

I do not believe we should be making content that only people who play Destiny for a living will ever be able to do because it goes away before most players can accumulate the skill and the gear needed to do it, which is why my suggested solution is to either make contest mode more difficult but permanent, or just make Master mode into contest mode.

Hard agree to this statement.

Maybe in their next game Bungie can branch out and add in some MMO-like staples. Like:

Fishing minigames
Pointlessly decorating your player apartment that nobody ever visits but you
An actual barber

I�d legit love it if Bungie were to give us a goddamn barber and a private space where all our trophies hang on display, similar to the one we had on the Leviathan in one of the earlier seasons.

It just seems like an extra step before �another red border gun drops� with a functional outcome that is identical to �another red border drops� except it cost development time & energy.

I still consider the fact that Bungie shunting off a majority of the worldbuilding into ingame lore books to be one of the bigger wastes of the setting.

Yeah, I feel that Bungie are a bit too triggerhappy with killing off characters but I guess they want to clear the cast roster before whatever the hell they are planning for after the Final Shape.

I'm gonna be honest with y'all, I'm just about out of steam on Destiny in general. About the only thing I've got in mind about it anymore is seeing what their plans are for the Mask of the Quiet One in the upcoming TWID. If it's not getting something that tickles my fancy, I'm probably just going to stop playing. This season has basically been a love letter to me because Sloane and Drifter are by far my favorite characters, and I've just... checked out completely. Haven't even cared to knock out Dredgen⁸ or whatever I'm up to now.

Yeah, this is pretty much my feeling as well, which is a shame but the last year I feel that Bungie themselves have kind of checked out on Destiny.

Man, the Destiny background setting is just wasted by Bungie, it�s such a drat shame since so much of it is far cooler and/or interesting than what they tend to focus on.

I'm thinking of getting back into this game just to beat the main campaigns. I started witch queen but I am lost with how to just follow the campaign. Is there a guide or recommendation on what to play to get the story. I am a Day 1 D1 player.

One of the things I�ll never be able to understand is how badly that Bungie has made the entire newbie Destiny experience by removing entire campaigns and the plot leading up to where we are now. I still wish that they would have invested into a linear campaign that incorporated the more important missions from at least the Red War campaign.

Honestly, Bungie should have just made the old expansions free, considering how close the Final Shape is.

Yeah Bungie said they still make a not insubstantial amount of money off the old games at some point recently, so I'm not expecting anything to change on that front. Makes no sense as a consumer, but oh well.

You�d think that if the expansions are still making money for Bungie they�d invest some extra effort into improve the first timer gamers experience but apparently the current situation is considered good enough.
