I feel like that last truly great time in the game was Taken King, and to a lesser extent, Forsaken. Luke Smith did a great thing with Taken King, and the rest after that wasn’t very great. I feel like under the new direction of Joe Blackburn, things are finally turning around. I mean, we actually have story and lore of the universe in the game! I feel like that’s lame to say that considering it should be expected, but it seems like things are changing for the better. I hope I’m right in thinking that. So as a total lore nerd who LOVES that part of the writing, thanks Bungo. I’m hoping that my Voidwalker will be able to fully embody an eldritch master of explosions and black holes with void 3.0 lol. Thanks again! :)

I'm not completely sure but I think the Taken King expansion was the work of someone else not Luke Smith.

Edited by Kyuss: 1/24/2022 5:35:19 PMI like the work of Joe Blackburn, but regarding the thread's topic and the recent news about Bungie's work environment, remember that he is not Bungie's CEO or one of the other top management guys of the company. He is Destiny 2's game director.

Luke Smith was a detriment to the series even with Taken King. People romanticise TTK while conveniently forgetting all the crap that came with it, including proto-sunsetting, and how much work Blackburn had to do to unfuck everything. Blackburn has consistently been responsible for all of the healthiest periods of the Destiny franchise. Meanwhile Luke has presided over and been responsible for all of the worst design decisions to date. I agree things are getting better. Hopefully Witch Queen continues the trend, but at this point every major new release should be approached with trepidation. It only takes a few mistakes to turn this game back into a pile of garbage.

Ask you self this has the game got any better since taken king and rise of iron not really imo only thing that comes close was the forsaken with that you had season of opulence where you had me-blam!- and the black Armory which a lot of people liked and all that was done by activison with high noon studios. since they gone on there own season model is hurting the game no new pvp maps for a very long time no new gambit maps and rework i could go on and on .

Well-said. (And same. I’m totally looking forward to Eldritch Voidlord meta!)
