Bungie showed that events are purely for money when they added event cards. $10 for the ability to spend the tickets you earn from the event challenges. And that is on top of the event armor sets. Nearly $50 for all of an event's new stuff
The Halloween event felt more themed to the holiday. And it was easy to farm engrams. This whole system with making cookies - you might get a gift in return, but probably not is too frustrating.
At this point, I don't even see what the point of giving feedback is. We're on year 5 of them completely ignoring all suggestions on how to improve seasonal events.
I’m a Developer and trust me if I were at Bungie right now I’d be looking to hop off this Sinking Ship. I’ve been through Redundancy and it sucks. I gave my Sweat and Tears for a Company a few Years ago only to be made Redundant because of lazy bad Managers. Learnt my Lesson with a Quickness.
I do wanna say one thing. Credit where Credit is Due, I totally agree with you man - Destiny 2 is a Phenomenal Game. No other Looter Shooter comes close to Destiny 2 when it comes to Gunplay and the Environment. Play/Try other Looter Shooters and you come back to Destiny 2 it feels like slipping into a pair of very Comfortable Shoes. Though their Management wants to Spend most of their Resources on Marathon. If it Succeeds they’re gonna be on Cloud 9. However if it tanks, boy oh boy that’d be a bad Day to be at Bungie lol
@@ameyajoshi742from the last update on marathon I remember they had people do like a test run of it not one person out of 100 said they’d play the game if it came out even if it was made free, so they have a lot to even convince people to touch the game and even then make it a long lasting game
I used to play Destiny 2 everyday, now I don't even play it. I have moved on to Division 2 now, however, I do miss Destiny 2 because of the gameplay. Next year is going to be rough as GTA 6 coming out as well, for me personally Division 2 new DLC coming out and now Destiny 2 has gone from a pre-order must to a possibly may be and slowly to let the reviews comes out
I’m going to say all around it’s bad for Bungie, I put 2200 hours into the game last year and I just don’t care anymore the bugs are out of hand and them fixing that event card that fast was the final straw.
you know what i think when it comes to no snowballs? when we had all those boosts from the revely event and people were flawlessing dungeons and raids with no effort, bungie decided never again will we give boost to any activity outside of vangaurd ops.
I stopped playing destiny after the final shape raid was completed and after seeing whats going on from an outside point of view i will not return even as a late D1 player and D2 veteran
Same. i did not do the raid but i didnt want to. I did enjoy final shape and there was some great weapons but there wasnt enough make me want to continue with my other 2 characters. forsaken was the best times of d2 imo but d2 could never beat taken king expansion imo.
Same here, didn't even bother with FS first hand, watched streamers instead. Was going to wait until FS when on sale, but by then I hadn't even logged in in weeks so I didn't bother and haven't played since still.
@@Travis_22 nah i wont be coming back last time i played i looked in orbit for 5 mins then got off and uninstalled i have no interest or hope left for the game
The First Deacendant Christmas event has been really good. They throw a ton of rewards at you and the grind isn’t too bad and the game is really starting to get fun a la warframe
Considering in first descendant you can pay your way through a good 85% of the games content. Only thing you cant is the crapy campaign which is just patrols and some random boss fight with a confusing cutscene. Like i dropped a fat stack and yea i enjoy the game but the fact i didnt have to do mucb at all in the way of grinding to get to that point is a issue and at this point the game is dry n stale to me since the meta hasnt changed much and the game still runs on the crapy do a few patrols and wham done. It gets really boring after spending hours doing the same borring missions for loot
I don't think any other company who wants to run a successful live service would shut down the pass of an event for a whole day risking breaking the whole thing because the players could get the subpar 10 dollar cosmetics for free. Not even activision.
@@alext9550 how can they get more money from someone who they ban? It isn't even a cheat Why do you think bungie didn't ban all the pale heart macroers?
@@alext9550 When Modern Warfare 2 remake released I installed, and pressed A at the title screen and got perma banned instantly. Im on series X and wouldn't know the first thing about cheating, My horrendous stats will reflect that haha....still banned lol. I was just going to play the campaign lmao!
Remember when they said “it’s to hard/time consuming to make armor set for the game. But yet we had how many eververse armor sets for this season alone ????…
That was taken out of context. What they specifically said was noone is using the ritual vendor armor so they didn't think it really mattered if that armor got vendor refreshes when we got new weapons. Its still a really stupid argument on their part because the reason people aren't using it is because 1. The stats roll piss poor (they can drop as low as 50s and have terrible stat splits) 2. we have plenty of ways to gun for artifice armor if you care about min/maxing & 3. They almost never make the ritual armor look really good compared to some of the raid, dungeon, or seasonal armor let alone eververse so people are rarely even picking it up to transmog so we have every reason to NOT use the vendor armor. Again still a bone headed take on bungies part but it was out of context nevertheless.
I started in season of the hunt Not once have i ever chosen to do dawning as it seemed... boring, u just got extra loot for playing, thats not fun just conveniant Amd my first ever dawning, ive earned 0 of the new weapons, the weapon grind sucked all seaosn and this hasnt helped The event card being fixed in an hour but not other bugs (yes i know its easy to fix it but still) Im not buying fuck all anymore Its honestly too far for me
Yeah anyone giving Bungie money after this year of final shape deserves to get screwed over. This was supposed to be a grand finale year and it's been a complete failure. if act 3 doesn't really come out the gate swinging Bungie will have to dream of even getting half the numbers of lightfall
The longer yall keep playing and letting them continue to pull the same bs every single time they will never learn. Move on there are other games out there to play. I loved Destiny and the world but bungie dont give a damn anymore. Its all about the money for them now.
Also the 48 million bungie promised an ex dev. Really shows you the high burn rate bungie has. Just throwing millions in bonus because why not 🤦🏻♂️ bungie was just throwing money away and are now suffering. Wonder how many bonuses they gave out with the Sony acquisition. Makes more sense now how easily they burned through that extra billion for “employee retention”.
@@kddatrapmane pretty sure the QA layoffs were from Pete… he has a lot of the blame. Also the money for “player retention” also Pete and high ups. Highly doubt a regular employee has access to that money 😂 the lawsuit that’s happening rn shows how bungie burned through the acquisition money. They just started giving out bonuses Willy Nilly. Microsoft called out bungies high burn rate. The only ones who are gonna have access to those finances are Pete and higher ups (aka investors). Not even game directors have that power, that’s why Chris Barrett (ex game dev) is suing bungie. Pete and investors ARE the ones to blame. The poor devs are working with little to nothing
I don’t even feel like giving any feedback for this game anymore because I really do believe they just don’t care, the only times Bungie ever cares if when we stop caring, when we stop playing, they don’t care about negativity, they only care about apathy.
I have been around since D1 (not bata, but for day 1), it was fun. It made me (a young person) want to be a game developer even more. But when d2 rolled around and it was still fun in some aspects. I was annoyed that the summer I spent learning every raid and grinding for exotics was wasted. Now, sure, it makes sense game play wise. But it was when the seasonal model came around (specific shadow keep), which is when things were going downhill. More pay to play aspects. Sure, there were cosmetics locked behind it, but when weapons with good rolls and exotics (and now exotic catalysts) were added that was when things started to get even worse. (Especially when fewer and less exotic items were coming out to chase) I remember going into the rise of iron and wanting to get my hands back on the gjallarhorn. I had to go into the Plague lands and do a patrol to start the quest. Or do bountys and turn them in to get an exotic one. Or even find a secret boss fight in the taken king to get a quest for 3, yes, 3 exotic weapons. Where. Did. That. Go?
I remember when Bungie used to get zero hate. Now they've just dropped the ball way too many times, and now there's no good gaming studios left in the gaming industry.
Check it out, we need to be vocal but not harass the devs. Yes all it sucks right now and the devs need to be able to listen because if we don’t listen to each other then it’s neglect and the game world isn’t built of the many but of the money and I’m sick of that.
The onslaught ‘shiny’ i didn’t even know this was a thing until I dropped one last week. First one on the clan to get one (clans 23 odd active players) crazy
At this point there is not much Bungie can do. Honestly, I'm not being funny. They need to restructure the bones of the game (PvE, PvP), otherwise nothing's gonna change. Either that or make a D3. D2's done for at this point.
When marathon flops Sony will pull the plug and shut down Bungie. They'll move the talented devs to their other studios but that's how it'll end for Bungie.
@@angelgustavoulloagalvez3366 Yeah, the day when it happens is going to be rough, it'll be just like when volition closed down and took the Saint's Row franchise to the grave with them.
Can you ruin something that was already a boring af snooze fest? Anyone loading Destiny up saying "omg i can't wait to play the DAWNING!!" I mean i get it but at the same time that event was a joke.
9:48 how about something simple like because it's winter time the stasis weapons/abilities all have a surge. All stasis weapons apply slow I mean if it's just for a week or 2 who cares if it's unbalanced it'll be fun for a week. They got to get out of the idea of creating power creep weapons just to get people to interact with an event.
When Bungie becomes the grinch. I was surprised the upgrade was temporary free. My friends told me when I was trying to do my solo build. I had to stop and quickly grab the free upgrade. They should have just let it be for free for everyone. Players would have been much more happier then right now.
This is one of my favorite games but they have become so controlling over there fans and money hungry. They will patch things that will give players a slight advantage or nerf guns and exotic armor and let’s not forget take away content that we bought smh yet people still play there game people just need to stand up and stop playing there game to keep them from controlling there community. I don’t know what happened to bungee but they are no where what they use to be 10 years ago when I feel in love with the game I have started to hate the game the last couple months I force myself to play no more joy anymore it’s sad to see what they have become. Shame they fired so many talented employees like they were nothing to them.
Why don’t game companies give out genuinely cool exclusive shit on Christmas, stuff like that would honestly speak volumes to people that they care about the community.
For reference I never would buy the Event Cards, it's just a bad value proposition. But knowing that I *could have* got it for free and now would have to pay knowing some other players got to keep it for free, makes me not want to even log in or care at all. I haven't played in months regardless, but I had thought about at least logging in to see the Dawning in action this year. Now, seeing yet another example of how Bungie can't spare a penny for player good will sucked out any interest I had, having way more fun with PoE2 and Slay the Spire lately anyway.
The card rewards are always trash anyway. $10 for an emote you'll never use after the event and a horribly gaudy shader and some ghost projections. The way bigger issue is how awful and unrewarding the event is and how they removed event weapons on top of making the grind longer
There are many creative elements that are missed opportunities. Like having snow rocket launcher that shoots snowballs, divinity or gernade launchers that shoot Christmas lights that explode….Christmas armor like Santa, reindeer, and etc. many creative outlets….its sad that they are giving up really!
Being a Destiny fan really does feel like being in a relationship where you keep holding out hope that this horrible person will change back into the good person they once were, not realizing that they'll never change back and you just have to leave this person because you'll just disapoint yourself again and again.
Haven't done a raid in a few months but ALL those activities have been dropping an annoying amount of snowballs. It would be better if you weren't fight snowballs to get an ADU battery. Sounds like you have one of those unique bugs that happens to players on occasion; I get one every other week these days. Dude in my clan did the wishender quest as soon as it was available back in the day and it bugged on him. He was finally able to complete the very last quest step and the beginning of revenant. This stuff ain't new but massively more wide spread
Guys I been playing destiny since it came out and I understand how chibi feels I could tell he's heart broken about these things it's in his tone of voice I feel the same like man bungi is doin bad man I wish they could actually see what there doing wrong man like d2 is a one of a kind man I can't play a game all the way when d2 is something I'm really good at like chibi I understand ur pain man I hope you see this bc right now I'm crying because destiny is going down a path that can't come back
Played since destiny 1 beta, and im completely gone from the game, ive uninstalled and now playing other games, its sad cos i want to love the game but i just cant
Feels great stepping away from this game a year ago. Playing Darktide and Marvel Rivals till MH my fav franchise MHWilds comes out. These events have been repitition for years. Never gonna change
I'm gonna keep playing for now... but what's worse is I don't get on nearly as much as I used to. Watching the friend group I'd play with fall apart. It's like a slow burn break up. You see it failing but there's nothing that can be done. 😅 I've barely done any of the dawning activity. The win was the event card being free for a brief moment.
I ran some Trials, ranked up two levels and did not get a single engram. An absolute disrespect of my time. They have taken away all agency in this season regarding weapons, whether crafting of focusing engrams. I really despise this game right now.
I get constant glitches…white screens, black screens-i hate how you got to get two ‘different’ things for the dawning, that either require lost sectors or public events…I always struggle with that part of the dawning :/. That and…i still got a ‘solstice’ bounty…that I hadn’t finished, that Eva constantly wants to bash my head in to fix-all while on the field, my silence and squall just..randomly decide to cancel out-i dont know whats going on anymore XD;
i feel you bro. I still love this game and i just want it to do well even after 10 years but they choose not to make it happen. It breaks the hearts of those who got nothin' but love for this game.
I love destiny 2 man and its so sad seeing it have fail after fail after the final shape TFS was so good They should have kept with that momentum I hope they pick back up
To me, I’m probably gonna just move on from Destiny 2 after Heresy cause Bungie can’t seem to just get it together. Like they seriously need a HUGE win to get players to start considering coming back but even then I feel like the damage is already done, it’s only a matter of time until Bungie pulls the plug. As much as I love Destiny and how much of my life has been spent on it, Bungie has truly lost their way and it’s going to take a miracle to bring them back. The best thing Bungie could do right now is delay Frontiers. First with that, bring more innovation. Secondly fix all the game breaking bugs. Thirdly, stop with the word salad and be upfront about things. And I can go on and on, but the point is that Bungie should delay frontiers and COOK like they did with Final Shape, I know Frontiers is giving out medium sized expansions, but at the same time they need to bring their A Game to start their new saga with potential.
In all honesty this event is Boring along with the rest It is literally the same event every year by now I thought players would be sick of going to the EDZ grinding every event we have.
The stupid thing is I was on during that first hour, I even looked at the crappy event card but didn’t realise it was free until I saw a video on it a few hours later 😅
Keep telling people to just quit because nothing will change at all as long as they're getting money. "No you're full of it, I don't quit because there's nothing out there like Destiny". They always say that and I always say yes there is, in fact there is better stuff than destiny out there. Good thing about it is it's not made by bungie so they actually listen to their community and give in return. Think of this when you have Gacha game devs especially ones like Hoyoverse giving in return and actually listening to the community you know you've messed up a creator and dev. Just saying. Sure they've had some hate in the past and negativity but at the end of the day they still give stuff in return. Bungie straight up fixed something that saves the player 10 dollars, not saying Hoyoverse wouldn't do that but they would give something in return as compensation once they fixed it, even to all players.
I’m glad you called out Bungie’s BS on “trying everything with Gambit”. I loved Gambit Prime, and seeing them act like they tried everything, when all they did was removed content still annoys me. Their disinterest was on full display with the so-called “Gambit Labs”, which they did once or twice, and never mentioned it again (though there were supposed to be more). And speaking of Crimson Days, the reason they gave for canning it was because it “missed the mark”… Seeing the state events (and D2 as a whole) is in now, that statement will forever be the joke that keeps giving.
I had to re-acquire the first quest to make cookies for zavala But then I could make the rest of the cookies, and I haven't had any more issues. I heard a lot of people apparently couldn't get any progress to unlock the weapon challenges But I was fortunate to not be one of them. Although I do have to wonder if gaining progress for those activities required you to have finished the zavala quest. My bigger complaints with the event is that it just feels like it takes way too long/ ability to acquire the dawning spirit currency is way too limited for how comparatively much things cost. It feels like it takes way longer to unlock anything than it did the Halloween event. During the Halloween event by contrast I had so many rolls I ended up deleting most of them but at the same time still got some good rolls, But after having already played and been grinding through several days, I have only unlocked the glaive. I honestly feel like they should decrease the cost of both unlocking the ability to focus/ the cost of focusing weapons because of how jank the system has been from the start and therefore delaying how much people are actually capable of unlocking.
How does someone screw up a supposed to be multi billion dollar franchise? Also if Bungie was smart, cough cough Pete Parsons... Bungie could of easily make the event card at least half off. But hey what the heck does the destiny community knows huh, Pete Parsons do you know that a nuttless monkey can do your job better than you... Just saying.
To me, this is the first time in destiny history where it feels truly hopeless. Destiny has always had its ups and downs, but after lightfall it felt like the game was dying, and then the layoffs and confirmation that there won’t be new expansions just put the nail in the coffin. Destiny has had a hard time with its new player experience for a long time, but even the dedicated players are leaving now…
I don't work a 9-5 and I missed it. Love this game but I hope they fix things it's basically the only game I play. I do COD and Marvel Rivals but nothing compares to this and that's probably part of the problem. Amazing game with a bunch of bugs. I still love it though.
For some reason i feel this dawning event feels more grinding then past events, now i struggle to get materials and essences to make cookies. I would grind dawning for some easy bright dust but now seems to tedious
i am fatigued on destiny 2 especially dungeons doing solo flawless was the last thing i enjoyed in destiny and now i am over it ever since duality on wards spending hours in a battle of attrition in dungeons is not fun anymore it is just just tiresome and it hurts because i love destiny i have put 10 k hours into this game and honestly i am just done and it hits me on a emotional and mental level to say that. i think destiny just needs to end at this point because it is not fun to play anymore and the devs have shown they dont care anymore.
The bad choices that destiny 2 makes, is what made me quit a couple years ago, the nickel and diming and rising prices and the huge amount of FOMO, I used to be a day one player, play and bought all the dlcs and even the seasons. But over time the passion imo just isn't there at least for me anyway. I miss the days of taken king and how every week was full of excitement and discovering cool secrets and lore and making our first exotic swords, now its "look what's at the Eververse" and "Look at this battlepass". Take me back to destiny 1 any day. But I get you, loved the video btw.
Im approaching one year of no longer playing Destiny 2 and have no regrets. Same thing as well, i dont mind people are enjoying Destiny 2. It just sucks so much more could be done yet its all being held back with two layoffs in one year and bad management. I made my own personal video of why I had quit. Many people think I would be back for the Final Shape. As much as it pains me, i didnt come back for the Final Shape. Many other friends also didnt as well. I was sick and tired of buying the Annual Pass basically signing Destiny 2 as a must play to get my moneys worth for the next year. Many of the monetization has gotten worse with the Event Pass, Dungeon Keys when these things almost free in the earlier days. Remember when Prophecy just came the launch of the Season? Despite what has happened, I hope the game does see changes for the people still playing Destiny 2.
the reason the snowballs are not in other activity's is because those activity's were not around when dawning was made and they dont want to spend money to actually make something new because they know youll still play it and spend money on the same shit they made years ago, what bungie does is copy and paste the code into the live game from the dawning event folder or if they are competent they made it a toggle.
The current state of destiny 2 and seasonal events in general kinda reinforces my belief that the team involved on Destiny 2 is just a skeleton crew at this point with just a few devs from the sandbox team and the narrative team left. I feel like most of the devs have been laid off or moved to marathon or other projects, cause the state of Destiny 2 is not good and I feel like if heresy and frontiers aren’t commercially successful then Sony might step in and we might see Bungie close doors Another thing is it’s not even every strike gets snowballs, battlegrounds gets them but birthplace of the vile doesn’t
About 100 runs on expert only 3 shinny I got 2 snipers 1 pulse rifle. I don't care about anything anymore I'm just trying to have fun nothing more and it's kinda hard these days with all the problems. The only thing keeps me playing the game is memories and my friends (my clan mates). I hate the game but I love to hate it, I'll keep playing it till the servers go off. Still hopeful that this game will change slowly.
I left. I can not go back to more of this. Even if - by some miracle if the stars align on a blood moon - they manage to make a comeback, I will still not return. The only way I could possibly return is if I see Pete Parsons removed, and the entire leadership of Bungie gutted, removed, and replaced with competent, transparent, and selfless leaders. If this is how things will continue to be, Marathon will not survive. And it won't be long before Sony decides Bungie is no longer profitable.
As much as I love the game I decided to step away and stop playing d2 til bungie got their shit together. We are so strong in the first place that fomo for "the new meta weapon" shouldnt be a problem. I'd rather just not play a game that clearly dgaf about the time and effort that people put in it. There are other games that are worth playing than this frustrating game.
Eververse really has killed the cosmetic side of destiny it started of with the prison of elders remake in destiny 1 where you could only buy or earn a couple of those loot boxes a week to eventually get the taken armor, Same with age of triumph and exotic ornaments. However, now you get a bright engram and have a very low chance to get what you want since every cosmetic comes from the eververse store, and they no longer do any challenge cosmetics like raid ornaments, like the age of triumph loot boxes, or the raid shaders like chatterwhite and glowhoo.
My quest is bugged. I have to quest actually, talking to Eva and giving the cookie to Zavala. I've done both but nothing happens. So I guess no event for me, nice.
Bro I spent so much time and money on destiny two and I have so much fun with it and then pantheon hit And then the fun level went from one hundred to a thousand but then pantheon ended And It went back to Well below a hundred like seventy. Pantheon was so damn good that it killed the base destiny 2 game for me.
The fact the player base knows what's wrong with destiny and Bungie is completely tone deaf to it and refuses to acknowledge any bit of criticism Raids are stale - Pantheon could have been such a cool mode to keep in the game and to rotate it every so often but nope gone never to be seen again PvP is in the worst state it's been in a long time and it's not getting better - I LOVE SBMM AND BEING FORCED TO CARRY Gambit is dead - BRING BACK PRIME AND THE ARMOR Strikes are strikes - BRING BACK DESTINY 1 MODIFIERS
Then the community manager makes a twitter post saying. "We have to earn your trust again." It's the same thing every year, they say they need to earn our trust, sell the next expansion, morale drops, they say they need to earn the communities trust, then the cycle continues. The cycle doesn't change. Remember what Vaas from Far Cry 3 said? "Do you know the definition of insanity? It's where you do the same thing over and over again and expect a different outcome." Destiny 2 has been like that for years. I moved away from the game after the Elden Ring DLC released this year. I moved onto single-player games. Bungie needs to give people a reason to stay invested in the game, but they aren't willing to make positive change, nor are they willing to take the risk.
The problem with these videos is no matter how much you love the game, no matter how much time you've put in, no matter how much passion you have for it, the execs love money more than they love making good games. It's the industry norm nowadays, unfortunate as it is. This coming from a guy with 300+ days on D1 and 150+ days on D2. We all remember Bungie from the Halo era, where they made the games that were the formative moments in our childhood, but all those people that made that game are gone, it's nothing more than a skinsuit now imitating the thing we once loved. Greed is the root of all evil, we were told it was Microsoft, then we were told it was Activision, and now the blame can't be pushed off anywhere else. They will milk this game until the utters are dry, then dissolve the studio like how Microsoft dissolved Ensemble Studios and move on to their next cash cow, and learn absolutely nothing from their failures. It's time for us all to move on and find new games, new companies to support and show Bungie in the only way we can, by voting with our time and money.
What’s actually surprising is that people will spend 1000 silver on the event card in the first place. The rewards are horrendous.
i wouldn't even call most of them ""rewards"
@@Vandal1985 Yep. Always been a scam imo
Seeing how sorry of a state d2 is in and then seeing netease use the destiny IP better than bungie is insane

its dead oh its dead

"Our" nahhhhhh haha
Sadly it feels this way
Bungie will continue to abuse you as long as they can
And the "there's no game like Destiny" argument is why it's so stagnant but no one seems to get the memo.
Until you're 90
Bungie will continue to abuse you as long as you let them* Fixed it for you
why i jumped ship. I got tired of the bs Bungie kept pulling.
@SilverRath21 didn't Aztec say something like that "there's no game like Destiny"? Unless it was something else
Destiny 2 isn't a game anymore, it's a warehouse that you walk through just to see which cosmetic you're going to buy or not..
That really feels like this more than ever now due to their being a 4x effort to the eververse store this episode.
Bungie showed that events are purely for money when they added event cards. $10 for the ability to spend the tickets you earn from the event challenges.
And that is on top of the event armor sets. Nearly $50 for all of an event's new stuff
The Halloween event felt more themed to the holiday. And it was easy to farm engrams. This whole system with making cookies - you might get a gift in return, but probably not is too frustrating.
At this point, I don't even see what the point of giving feedback is. We're on year 5 of them completely ignoring all suggestions on how to improve seasonal events.
It's gonna be worse when frontiers comes out and feels like this still.
I’m a Developer and trust me if I were at Bungie right now I’d be looking to hop off this Sinking Ship. I’ve been through Redundancy and it sucks. I gave my Sweat and Tears for a Company a few Years ago only to be made Redundant because of lazy bad Managers. Learnt my Lesson with a Quickness.

No other Looter Shooter comes close to Destiny 2 when it comes to Gunplay and the Environment.

Remember that back in the 30th Anniversary they celebrated by asking us our money.
@@Nailfutyeah but 30th anniversary was good
You gotta stop playing it to get change.... Vote with your playtime/wallet
I stopped playing destiny after the final shape raid was completed and after seeing whats going on from an outside point of view i will not return even as a late D1 player and D2 veteran
Same. i did not do the raid but i didnt want to. I did enjoy final shape and there was some great weapons but there wasnt enough make me want to continue with my other 2 characters. forsaken was the best times of d2 imo but d2 could never beat taken king expansion imo.
Same here, didn't even bother with FS first hand, watched streamers instead. Was going to wait until FS when on sale, but by then I hadn't even logged in in weeks so I didn't bother and haven't played since still.
Same..and I was a sucker who got the 100 dollar deluxe edition,made it to the first break in echoes and just...quit.
Haven't reinstalled yet.
See you later after reset😊
@@Travis_22 nah i wont be coming back last time i played i looked in orbit for 5 mins then got off and uninstalled i have no interest or hope left for the game
The First Deacendant Christmas event has been really good. They throw a ton of rewards at you and the grind isn’t too bad and the game is really starting to get fun a la warframe
Considering in first descendant you can pay your way through a good 85% of the games content. Only thing you cant is the crapy campaign which is just patrols and some random boss fight with a confusing cutscene. Like i dropped a fat stack and yea i enjoy the game but the fact i didnt have to do mucb at all in the way of grinding to get to that point is a issue and at this point the game is dry n stale to me since the meta hasnt changed much and the game still runs on the crapy do a few patrols and wham done. It gets really boring after spending hours doing the same borring missions for loot
I didn even know they had an event...is it still goin on?
They have to. The other parts of the game is literally the same boredom as onslaught grind
@@yol_n exactly the game is dry as f*ck. Like they need to do a revamp really fast like did they not understand why so many left in the beginning?
Some gacha games are more generous than Bungie lol.
I don't think any other company who wants to run a successful live service would shut down the pass of an event for a whole day risking breaking the whole thing because the players could get the subpar 10 dollar cosmetics for free.
Not even activision.
Activision actually would.
Oh please. Activision would have 100% done worse. Their glitch/exploit policy is auto-permaban and always has been
@@alext9550 how can they get more money from someone who they ban? It isn't even a cheat
Why do you think bungie didn't ban all the pale heart macroers?
@@alext9550 When Modern Warfare 2 remake released I installed, and pressed A at the title screen and got perma banned instantly. Im on series X and wouldn't know the first thing about cheating, My horrendous stats will reflect that haha....still banned lol. I was just going to play the campaign lmao!
Remember when they said “it’s to hard/time consuming to make armor set for the game. But yet we had how many eververse armor sets for this season alone ????…
OH! don't forget how we have strand and stasis armor sets in the files that was Data mined!
That was taken out of context. What they specifically said was noone is using the ritual vendor armor so they didn't think it really mattered if that armor got vendor refreshes when we got new weapons. Its still a really stupid argument on their part because the reason people aren't using it is because 1. The stats roll piss poor (they can drop as low as 50s and have terrible stat splits) 2. we have plenty of ways to gun for artifice armor if you care about min/maxing & 3. They almost never make the ritual armor look really good compared to some of the raid, dungeon, or seasonal armor let alone eververse so people are rarely even picking it up to transmog so we have every reason to NOT use the vendor armor. Again still a bone headed take on bungies part but it was out of context nevertheless.
They didn't say that. This was specifically about vendor armour as no one uses it (which is true) so they'd be wasting resources
They should give us old armor from raids at dares of eternity to give that game mode life and make new modes for it with different enemies.
I started in season of the hunt
Not once have i ever chosen to do dawning as it seemed... boring, u just got extra loot for playing, thats not fun just conveniant
Amd my first ever dawning, ive earned 0 of the new weapons, the weapon grind sucked all seaosn and this hasnt helped
The event card being fixed in an hour but not other bugs (yes i know its easy to fix it but still)
Im not buying fuck all anymore
Its honestly too far for me
Yeah anyone giving Bungie money after this year of final shape deserves to get screwed over. This was supposed to be a grand finale year and it's been a complete failure. if act 3 doesn't really come out the gate swinging Bungie will have to dream of even getting half the numbers of lightfall
The longer yall keep playing and letting them continue to pull the same bs every single time they will never learn. Move on there are other games out there to play. I loved Destiny and the world but bungie dont give a damn anymore. Its all about the money for them now.
My quest got resetted, my few momentos i got is missing.happened as soon as i chose a new character to pick up quest..
same thing happened to me if you try and pick up the quest accross multiple characters it will reset the progress
It happened to me earlier today without even touching multiple characters this week.
Yeh, I'm playing warframe now. And warframe 1999 just came out, so I don't even care about the dawning this year.
How far along are you? What story quest? 1999?
It hurts to see this happening, last year when my ps5 decided it was done, I had hope that destiny 2 could maintain itself, guess not
14:15 13k on steam its the lowest since 2019 (on steam, dont know how low it was to curse of osiris back in days)
Please, please, please think of Pete Parsons vintage car collection.
It's a cope to blame anyone but the game director and the people directly beneath them.
Yup, stop blaming Pete for everything that shit is getting old.
The devs need to take some responsibility too
Also the 48 million bungie promised an ex dev. Really shows you the high burn rate bungie has. Just throwing millions in bonus because why not 🤦🏻♂️ bungie was just throwing money away and are now suffering. Wonder how many bonuses they gave out with the Sony acquisition. Makes more sense now how easily they burned through that extra billion for “employee retention”.
@@kddatrapmane pretty sure the QA layoffs were from Pete… he has a lot of the blame. Also the money for “player retention” also Pete and high ups. Highly doubt a regular employee has access to that money 😂 the lawsuit that’s happening rn shows how bungie burned through the acquisition money. They just started giving out bonuses Willy Nilly. Microsoft called out bungies high burn rate. The only ones who are gonna have access to those finances are Pete and higher ups (aka investors). Not even game directors have that power, that’s why Chris Barrett (ex game dev) is suing bungie. Pete and investors ARE the ones to blame. The poor devs are working with little to nothing
I don’t even feel like giving any feedback for this game anymore because I really do believe they just don’t care, the only times Bungie ever cares if when we stop caring, when we stop playing, they don’t care about negativity, they only care about apathy.
I just want destiny 2 to get back to a point where i want to play the damn game
anyone who says destiny is like warframe and warframe like first desendant. are people who compare burgerking is same as mcdonald's
were not mad, were just disappointed. And have been for numerous years now.
I have been around since D1 (not bata, but for day 1), it was fun. It made me (a young person) want to be a game developer even more.
But when d2 rolled around and it was still fun in some aspects. I was annoyed that the summer I spent learning every raid and grinding for exotics was wasted. Now, sure, it makes sense game play wise. But it was when the seasonal model came around (specific shadow keep), which is when things were going downhill. More pay to play aspects. Sure, there were cosmetics locked behind it, but when weapons with good rolls and exotics (and now exotic catalysts) were added that was when things started to get even worse. (Especially when fewer and less exotic items were coming out to chase)
I remember going into the rise of iron and wanting to get my hands back on the gjallarhorn. I had to go into the Plague lands and do a patrol to start the quest. Or do bountys and turn them in to get an exotic one. Or even find a secret boss fight in the taken king to get a quest for 3, yes, 3 exotic weapons.
Where. Did. That. Go?
Pete Parson's car collection
@jasonmitchell6025 that would be a start.
I remember when Bungie used to get zero hate. Now they've just dropped the ball way too many times, and now there's no good gaming studios left in the gaming industry.
FromSoftware has entered the chat
Check it out, we need to be vocal but not harass the devs. Yes all it sucks right now and the devs need to be able to listen because if we don’t listen to each other then it’s neglect and the game world isn’t built of the many but of the money and I’m sick of that.
The onslaught ‘shiny’ i didn’t even know this was a thing until I dropped one last week. First one on the clan to get one (clans 23 odd active players) crazy
At this point there is not much Bungie can do. Honestly, I'm not being funny. They need to restructure the bones of the game (PvE, PvP), otherwise nothing's gonna change. Either that or make a D3. D2's done for at this point.
When marathon flops Sony will pull the plug and shut down Bungie. They'll move the talented devs to their other studios but that's how it'll end for Bungie.
@randomdontbanme3154 honestly that is something that could become a reality at this point.
@@angelgustavoulloagalvez3366 Yeah, the day when it happens is going to be rough, it'll be just like when volition closed down and took the Saint's Row franchise to the grave with them.
Can you ruin something that was already a boring af snooze fest? Anyone loading Destiny up saying "omg i can't wait to play the DAWNING!!"
I mean i get it but at the same time that event was a joke.
Oh christmas, the gift of giving $10 to bungie for a few cosmetics
Humor of all this is we the community expect Dumbgie to do better...we need to stop hurting ourselves with that big disappointment.
9:48 how about something simple like because it's winter time the stasis weapons/abilities all have a surge. All stasis weapons apply slow I mean if it's just for a week or 2 who cares if it's unbalanced it'll be fun for a week. They got to get out of the idea of creating power creep weapons just to get people to interact with an event.
Ngl, i forgot it was Dawning -
One step forward two back for them.
When Bungie becomes the grinch. I was surprised the upgrade was temporary free. My friends told me when I was trying to do my solo build. I had to stop and quickly grab the free upgrade. They should have just let it be for free for everyone. Players would have been much more happier then right now.
This is one of my favorite games but they have become so controlling over there fans and money hungry. They will patch things that will give players a slight advantage or nerf guns and exotic armor and let’s not forget take away content that we bought smh yet people still play there game people just need to stand up and stop playing there game to keep them from controlling there community. I don’t know what happened to bungee but they are no where what they use to be 10 years ago when I feel in love with the game I have started to hate the game the last couple months I force myself to play no more joy anymore it’s sad to see what they have become. Shame they fired so many talented employees like they were nothing to them.
Why don’t game companies give out genuinely cool exclusive shit on Christmas, stuff like that would honestly speak volumes to people that they care about the community.
For reference I never would buy the Event Cards, it's just a bad value proposition. But knowing that I *could have* got it for free and now would have to pay knowing some other players got to keep it for free, makes me not want to even log in or care at all. I haven't played in months regardless, but I had thought about at least logging in to see the Dawning in action this year. Now, seeing yet another example of how Bungie can't spare a penny for player good will sucked out any interest I had, having way more fun with PoE2 and Slay the Spire lately anyway.
The card rewards are always trash anyway. $10 for an emote you'll never use after the event and a horribly gaudy shader and some ghost projections. The way bigger issue is how awful and unrewarding the event is and how they removed event weapons on top of making the grind longer
event card is free !!
Bungie fixes in an hr
hunter tether still not working ... sorry but that doesn't pertain to silver
Maybe a fix in late January. What a joke of company.
Dude lets be honest they ruined every event they all the same
There are many creative elements that are missed opportunities. Like having snow rocket launcher that shoots snowballs, divinity or gernade launchers that shoot Christmas lights that explode….Christmas armor like Santa, reindeer, and etc. many creative outlets….its sad that they are giving up really!
The opening Dawning quest was completely restarted for me.
Being a Destiny fan really does feel like being in a relationship where you keep holding out hope that this horrible person will change back into the good person they once were, not realizing that they'll never change back and you just have to leave this person because you'll just disapoint yourself again and again.
And cheating on you with Marathon. They only want you around because you pay the bills.
Haven't done a raid in a few months but ALL those activities have been dropping an annoying amount of snowballs. It would be better if you weren't fight snowballs to get an ADU battery. Sounds like you have one of those unique bugs that happens to players on occasion; I get one every other week these days. Dude in my clan did the wishender quest as soon as it was available back in the day and it bugged on him. He was finally able to complete the very last quest step and the beginning of revenant. This stuff ain't new but massively more wide spread
I find doing pale heart pathfinders more entertaining than this.
Apathy. Let the game fall into obscurity
I left before final shape dropped and never came back. Looking at the sinking ship that is Destiny 2 now. I’m glad I got out when I did
Guys I been playing destiny since it came out and I understand how chibi feels I could tell he's heart broken about these things it's in his tone of voice I feel the same like man bungi is doin bad man I wish they could actually see what there doing wrong man like d2 is a one of a kind man I can't play a game all the way when d2 is something I'm really good at like chibi I understand ur pain man I hope you see this bc right now I'm crying because destiny is going down a path that can't come back
Played since destiny 1 beta, and im completely gone from the game, ive uninstalled and now playing other games, its sad cos i want to love the game but i just cant
Feels great stepping away from this game a year ago. Playing Darktide and Marvel Rivals till MH my fav franchise MHWilds comes out. These events have been repitition for years. Never gonna change
man they didn’t even make a trailer for this one lmao.
That's what drives me nuts with them and bugs. They don't give a shit about them unless they either make them money or bad publicity.
I'm gonna keep playing for now... but what's worse is I don't get on nearly as much as I used to. Watching the friend group I'd play with fall apart. It's like a slow burn break up. You see it failing but there's nothing that can be done. 😅 I've barely done any of the dawning activity. The win was the event card being free for a brief moment.
I ran some Trials, ranked up two levels and did not get a single engram. An absolute disrespect of my time. They have taken away all agency in this season regarding weapons, whether crafting of focusing engrams. I really despise this game right now.
I get constant glitches…white screens, black screens-i hate how you got to get two ‘different’ things for the dawning, that either require lost sectors or public events…I always struggle with that part of the dawning :/. That and…i still got a ‘solstice’ bounty…that I hadn’t finished, that Eva constantly wants to bash my head in to fix-all while on the field, my silence and squall just..randomly decide to cancel out-i dont know whats going on anymore XD;
i feel you bro. I still love this game and i just want it to do well even after 10 years but they choose not to make it happen. It breaks the hearts of those who got nothin' but love for this game.
Trying to get the season smg with unrelenting and jolting feedback(even without MW, mag or barrel I want) has felt literally impossible
I’ve already hit that apathy. Use to play everyday. Now I don’t even get on to check eververse
I love destiny 2 man and its so sad seeing it have fail after fail after the final shape
TFS was so good
They should have kept with that momentum
I hope they pick back up
To me, I’m probably gonna just move on from Destiny 2 after Heresy cause Bungie can’t seem to just get it together. Like they seriously need a HUGE win to get players to start considering coming back but even then I feel like the damage is already done, it’s only a matter of time until Bungie pulls the plug. As much as I love Destiny and how much of my life has been spent on it, Bungie has truly lost their way and it’s going to take a miracle to bring them back. The best thing Bungie could do right now is delay Frontiers. First with that, bring more innovation. Secondly fix all the game breaking bugs. Thirdly, stop with the word salad and be upfront about things. And I can go on and on, but the point is that Bungie should delay frontiers and COOK like they did with Final Shape, I know Frontiers is giving out medium sized expansions, but at the same time they need to bring their A Game to start their new saga with potential.
I can’t get Sharp Flavor ingredients. Tried heavy and special sword kills and also glaive kills and not a single one dropped.
In all honesty this event is Boring along with the rest It is literally the same event every year by now I thought players would be sick of going to the EDZ grinding every event we have.
The stupid thing is I was on during that first hour, I even looked at the crappy event card but didn’t realise it was free until I saw a video on it a few hours later 😅
Keep telling people to just quit because nothing will change at all as long as they're getting money.
"No you're full of it, I don't quit because there's nothing out there like Destiny". They always say that and I always say yes there is, in fact there is better stuff than destiny out there. Good thing about it is it's not made by bungie so they actually listen to their community and give in return. Think of this when you have Gacha game devs especially ones like Hoyoverse giving in return and actually listening to the community you know you've messed up a creator and dev. Just saying. Sure they've had some hate in the past and negativity but at the end of the day they still give stuff in return. Bungie straight up fixed something that saves the player 10 dollars, not saying Hoyoverse wouldn't do that but they would give something in return as compensation once they fixed it, even to all players.
I know some may say it's boring, but the best way to farm for The Dawning is to play The Blind Well. Which is my favorite activity to this day.
I’m glad you called out Bungie’s BS on “trying everything with Gambit”. I loved Gambit Prime, and seeing them act like they tried everything, when all they did was removed content still annoys me. Their disinterest was on full display with the so-called “Gambit Labs”, which they did once or twice, and never mentioned it again (though there were supposed to be more).
And speaking of Crimson Days, the reason they gave for canning it was because it “missed the mark”… Seeing the state events (and D2 as a whole) is in now, that statement will forever be the joke that keeps giving.
Kills me to see whats happing to my favorite game.
I had to re-acquire the first quest to make cookies for zavala But then I could make the rest of the cookies, and I haven't had any more issues. I heard a lot of people apparently couldn't get any progress to unlock the weapon challenges But I was fortunate to not be one of them. Although I do have to wonder if gaining progress for those activities required you to have finished the zavala quest.
My bigger complaints with the event is that it just feels like it takes way too long/ ability to acquire the dawning spirit currency is way too limited for how comparatively much things cost. It feels like it takes way longer to unlock anything than it did the Halloween event. During the Halloween event by contrast I had so many rolls I ended up deleting most of them but at the same time still got some good rolls, But after having already played and been grinding through several days, I have only unlocked the glaive. I honestly feel like they should decrease the cost of both unlocking the ability to focus/ the cost of focusing weapons because of how jank the system has been from the start and therefore delaying how much people are actually capable of unlocking.
How does someone screw up a supposed to be multi billion dollar franchise?
Also if Bungie was smart, cough cough Pete Parsons... Bungie could of easily make the event card at least half off. But hey what the heck does the destiny community knows huh, Pete Parsons do you know that a nuttless monkey can do your job better than you... Just saying.
To me, this is the first time in destiny history where it feels truly hopeless. Destiny has always had its ups and downs, but after lightfall it felt like the game was dying, and then the layoffs and confirmation that there won’t be new expansions just put the nail in the coffin. Destiny has had a hard time with its new player experience for a long time, but even the dedicated players are leaving now…
Left the game after finishing the final shape and farming for my class exotics, seeing how the game is going I feel relieved leaving the game then
I don't work a 9-5 and I missed it. Love this game but I hope they fix things it's basically the only game I play. I do COD and Marvel Rivals but nothing compares to this and that's probably part of the problem. Amazing game with a bunch of bugs. I still love it though.
For some reason i feel this dawning event feels more grinding then past events, now i struggle to get materials and essences to make cookies. I would grind dawning for some easy bright dust but now seems to tedious
I got the week of Xmas off and I cannot see myself grinding out the dawning, instead I'll be playing though AC the Ezio collection 🤙🏻
i am fatigued on destiny 2 especially dungeons doing solo flawless was the last thing i enjoyed in destiny and now i am over it ever since duality on wards spending hours in a battle of attrition in dungeons is not fun anymore it is just just tiresome and it hurts because i love destiny i have put 10 k hours into this game and honestly i am just done and it hits me on a emotional and mental level to say that. i think destiny just needs to end at this point because it is not fun to play anymore and the devs have shown they dont care anymore.
The bad choices that destiny 2 makes, is what made me quit a couple years ago, the nickel and diming and rising prices and the huge amount of FOMO, I used to be a day one player, play and bought all the dlcs and even the seasons. But over time the passion imo just isn't there at least for me anyway. I miss the days of taken king and how every week was full of excitement and discovering cool secrets and lore and making our first exotic swords, now its "look what's at the Eververse" and "Look at this battlepass". Take me back to destiny 1 any day. But I get you, loved the video btw.
Im approaching one year of no longer playing Destiny 2 and have no regrets. Same thing as well, i dont mind people are enjoying Destiny 2. It just sucks so much more could be done yet its all being held back with two layoffs in one year and bad management. I made my own personal video of why I had quit. Many people think I would be back for the Final Shape. As much as it pains me, i didnt come back for the Final Shape. Many other friends also didnt as well. I was sick and tired of buying the Annual Pass basically signing Destiny 2 as a must play to get my moneys worth for the next year. Many of the monetization has gotten worse with the Event Pass, Dungeon Keys when these things almost free in the earlier days. Remember when Prophecy just came the launch of the Season? Despite what has happened, I hope the game does see changes for the people still playing Destiny 2.
I never even knew that the event pass was free for a limited time. Now I wish that I never knew. 😂
the reason the snowballs are not in other activity's is because those activity's were not around when dawning was made and they dont want to spend money to actually make something new because they know youll still play it and spend money on the same shit they made years ago, what bungie does is copy and paste the code into the live game from the dawning event folder or if they are competent they made it a toggle.
The current state of destiny 2 and seasonal events in general kinda reinforces my belief that the team involved on Destiny 2 is just a skeleton crew at this point with just a few devs from the sandbox team and the narrative team left.
I feel like most of the devs have been laid off or moved to marathon or other projects, cause the state of Destiny 2 is not good and I feel like if heresy and frontiers aren’t commercially successful then Sony might step in and we might see Bungie close doors
Another thing is it’s not even every strike gets snowballs, battlegrounds gets them but birthplace of the vile doesn’t
About 100 runs on expert only 3 shinny I got 2 snipers 1 pulse rifle.
I don't care about anything anymore I'm just trying to have fun nothing more and it's kinda hard these days with all the problems.
The only thing keeps me playing the game is memories and my friends (my clan mates).
I hate the game but I love to hate it, I'll keep playing it till the servers go off.
Still hopeful that this game will change slowly.
I left. I can not go back to more of this. Even if - by some miracle if the stars align on a blood moon - they manage to make a comeback, I will still not return. The only way I could possibly return is if I see Pete Parsons removed, and the entire leadership of Bungie gutted, removed, and replaced with competent, transparent, and selfless leaders.
If this is how things will continue to be, Marathon will not survive. And it won't be long before Sony decides Bungie is no longer profitable.
As much as I love the game I decided to step away and stop playing d2 til bungie got their shit together. We are so strong in the first place that fomo for "the new meta weapon" shouldnt be a problem. I'd rather just not play a game that clearly dgaf about the time and effort that people put in it. There are other games that are worth playing than this frustrating game.
Eververse really has killed the cosmetic side of destiny it started of with the prison of elders remake in destiny 1 where you could only buy or earn a couple of those loot boxes a week to eventually get the taken armor, Same with age of triumph and exotic ornaments. However, now you get a bright engram and have a very low chance to get what you want since every cosmetic comes from the eververse store, and they no longer do any challenge cosmetics like raid ornaments, like the age of triumph loot boxes, or the raid shaders like chatterwhite and glowhoo.
These events are just a bunch of horseshit.
Ive gotten 3 masterworked guns from onslaught but each time its been liturgy
I can't grab the dawning quest, so it's still bugged.
My quest is bugged. I have to quest actually, talking to Eva and giving the cookie to Zavala. I've done both but nothing happens. So I guess no event for me, nice.
The remaining 2 people that work there can’t catch a break.
Bro I spent so much time and money on destiny two and I have so much fun with it and then pantheon hit And then the fun level went from one hundred to a thousand but then pantheon ended And It went back to Well below a hundred like seventy. Pantheon was so damn good that it killed the base destiny 2 game for me.
The fact the player base knows what's wrong with destiny and Bungie is completely tone deaf to it and refuses to acknowledge any bit of criticism
Raids are stale - Pantheon could have been such a cool mode to keep in the game and to rotate it every so often but nope gone never to be seen again
PvP is in the worst state it's been in a long time and it's not getting better - I LOVE SBMM AND BEING FORCED TO CARRY
Gambit is dead - BRING BACK PRIME AND THE ARMOR
Strikes are strikes - BRING BACK DESTINY 1 MODIFIERS
Then the community manager makes a twitter post saying. "We have to earn your trust again." It's the same thing every year, they say they need to earn our trust, sell the next expansion, morale drops, they say they need to earn the communities trust, then the cycle continues. The cycle doesn't change. Remember what Vaas from Far Cry 3 said? "Do you know the definition of insanity? It's where you do the same thing over and over again and expect a different outcome." Destiny 2 has been like that for years. I moved away from the game after the Elden Ring DLC released this year. I moved onto single-player games. Bungie needs to give people a reason to stay invested in the game, but they aren't willing to make positive change, nor are they willing to take the risk.
The problem with these videos is no matter how much you love the game, no matter how much time you've put in, no matter how much passion you have for it, the execs love money more than they love making good games. It's the industry norm nowadays, unfortunate as it is. This coming from a guy with 300+ days on D1 and 150+ days on D2. We all remember Bungie from the Halo era, where they made the games that were the formative moments in our childhood, but all those people that made that game are gone, it's nothing more than a skinsuit now imitating the thing we once loved. Greed is the root of all evil, we were told it was Microsoft, then we were told it was Activision, and now the blame can't be pushed off anywhere else. They will milk this game until the utters are dry, then dissolve the studio like how Microsoft dissolved Ensemble Studios and move on to their next cash cow, and learn absolutely nothing from their failures. It's time for us all to move on and find new games, new companies to support and show Bungie in the only way we can, by voting with our time and money.
