When streamers cover other streamers discussing why a game like Destiny 2 is failing it's a bad sign. Stop focusing on other projects, stop focusing on the item mall, stop letting "tolerable" issues persist, and get it back on track. Bungie could be one of the best development studios, if the upper management would stop trying to get rich and start trying to enrich the product. Simply making a well made game with better quality control and removing the greed that has stalled progress could potentially overcome the huge drop in players. It's a "Now or Never" scenario facing the remaining crew at Bungie. I have little hope as it stands.
TLDR:
What do you think could save the game?
-
They dont care man, sorry
-
I honestly believe that bungie is doing the bare minimum so they can pocket the difference from being bought out by Sony. But to expect bungie to make the game good again, is unreasonable unfortunately

Even if we didn’t have all the bugs that we do now, I’d still not be playing. I truly don’t understand the logic of “drops exciting again because RNG.” You know what’s more exciting? Actually using something you wanted in endgame activities. Actually trying things out with builds. You know what’s more fun? Working towards something and making visible progress and then getting it.

[quote]What do you think could save the game?[/quote] During into the light the DEV team said they would make the game harder, "more Challenging". They succeeded. That first 3 quarters cost the company so much Money they had to lay people off. Bungie did not see the light then and persisted in their shenanigans. Sony took over and laid a bunch more people off. What would fix this? Maybe focus on the core game, the PVE side, making this FUN and engaging. Remove a bunch of grind, stop reworking old strikes to make them fit the "harder is better" mentality. Stop with the idiotic crap like the exotic class item mission. There is nothing to do in the new area. The devs who laugh and say they want players to think something is so hard that they will cry, should ALL be fired on the spot .
-
I don’t think it matters at this point, if I had to guess I’d say management is trying to burn the house down before Sony takes over and sends them packing.

DEI is the death of Bungie
-
What could save the game? A different developer.
-
I've seen this ... To many games to list. I just hope the potentially vast genre of sci-fi looter shhoters doesn't suffer overall because of the massive FUBAR Bungie has made of it's single product ... This does not bode well for the entire studio and all of it's staff, I think we as a community need to go over Pete's head and start directing our concerns to SONY® ...
-
Game is fine! I enjoy it everyday. Not sure what all the fuss is about.🤷♀️
-
As much as I love this franchise I don't see where they could go story wise. In general, Pete needs to get canned along with all of current upper management. Actively blocking devs from doing things the community wants or from pushing qol stuff is shooting them in the foot. Until upper management completely changes (or Sony fully and completely takes over) the game is finished.
-
I think the game is done regardless. I think saving the franchise could be possible with completely new leadership and release of d3. The company as it stands is incompetent though.
-
Too late, nothing will save Destiny now, greedy leaders, low level skill staff, headless chickens running round in circles clucking and -blam!-, blaming everything on everyone else but themselves .. Its akin to a huge turd stuck in the bend of the toilet, they keep flushing hoping to clear it instead of getting down and dirty to clear the blockage .. Sad and sorry end to a great company and franchise, all because of greedy poor quality leadership.

Edited by MrBJovi: 12/22/2024 7:48:41 AMDestiny frachise was fantastic whilst it lasted. It's almost certain 2025 will be its downfall as it's lost in sustainance, direction, and identity even since the talent left, streamers interrupted, and the finances were spent elsewhere. What did everyone expect....

Add boing boing with shaxx!!

Edited by Scorpion21: 12/22/2024 11:36:02 AMThey are to busy with how to make more money, rather then listening to the players. So this game is gone. Bungie do not real;lize this yet. They will, but it is to late . Many players are already left this game.
-
"Double down?" Um... no, no. Bungie needs to TRIPLE DOWN to have any chance.
-
It's probably too late, to be honest Can anyone trust these guys at this point to do the right thing? There's probably nothing they can do to bring all of those old players back, now.
-
TLDR answer? Nothing. You know why? Yes, partially cause Bungie can't solve their increasing technical issues anymore. And game on technical life support. But more so cause players can't live with what we have. What is a lot! Imho. KackisHD Dawning vid complaining about how bad dawning is cause the most "efficient" grind is/was farming Dul Incaru?! Wtf is wrong with this guy and others following the same BS? I am just playing the game, no dedicated farming, more than enough cookies and essence I could ever use/need, more weapon rolls I could take to my vault and title gilded. Of course anybody following a brainless grind cycle like streamer suggested will lead you to the impression the game is braindead. No, not the game but KackisHD and alike. Dawning in this case serving as an example. Long story short, either you enjoy whatever content for its intrinsic enjoyment it provides to/for you or you do not and see your sense in running mindless hamster wheels. This game is 10 years, 7 for me, and if you are done use your time for something else. Enjoy your time and Merry Christmas!

It needs a new studio and a 3
-
They need to narrow the focus of the grind. There are just way too many things that players feel they need to do each week. Simple case of too many options.
-
I don't think you guys understand. Majority of the staff got let go. This is the aftermath. Vote with your wallet. Don't buy next years expansion and boycott Marathon.
-
D2 should've even been made
-
At this point i just hope marathon fail miserably
-
We need more cosmetics as rewards. That and actual good content.
-
Why does it need "being saved"? It's a product, not Nemo.
