[b]Fellow Guardians,[/b]
I'm honestly baffled that Bungie still hasn’t addressed our concerns or given any real answers about the massive sunsetting of Destiny 2 content that's coming.
What we’re seeing looks like a complete failure in Bungie’s management. They laid off hundreds of developers, and many of the ones -blam!- were reassigned to work on Marathon.
It’s painfully clear that Bungie has little to show for the upcoming Edge of Fate (EoF) expansion—simply because there haven’t been enough developers focused on it full-time.
Instead, they’ve implemented what feels like a deliberately grind-heavy system—an "evil hamster wheel"—to keep us busy without offering meaningful content. No new raids, no dungeons, no new subclass. Just the bare minimum. We only have six armor sets, and the Rite of the Nine event? That feels like a joke.
Now, with Marathon reportedly delayed, it’s likely even more Destiny 2 developers will be shifted away to help with that project. That’s not good news for us.
Be cautious about the upcoming Star Wars expansion. It looks like a trap—designed to generate massive revenue with minimal actual content. One flashy weapon type, likely a lightsaber, will be the centerpiece, probably locked behind a dungeon and buried in another exhausting grind.
Let’s be honest—we saw the writing on the wall when The Final Shape launched and Luke Smith left. That was the beginning of the end for D2. We just love the game too much to admit it.
It pains me to say this, but I’ve uninstalled the game and canceled my pre-order. Until Sony fully steps in and breathes life back into the franchise, I don’t see anything to be excited about for the next 6 to 12 months.

Edited by ben: 6/22/2025 10:52:53 PMI have no idea where the mass hysteria that the game is becoming so grindy is coming from. it has never been easier to get geared as they have added a million avenues to get the gear you want with minimal RNG and time investment and I imagine this will continue in edge of fate. Armour will definitely be easier to get and less grindy compared to now because of the way it will roll. If you think the game is too grindy i recommend taking a deep look at what you spend time grinding for and if it is worth your time. 99% of the loot you get in this game is insta dismantle trash so I theorize that the people who think it is "too grindy" think so because they are chasing the turbo double enhanced crafted shiny adept version of every single weapon. Which you do not need to do, at all. There is no new subclass but a new artifact and the ability changes will shake up gameplay completely and the sandbox will be unrecognizable. All content in the game is filler slop except for raids and dungeons which they have confirmed are coming, not sure where you got the idea otherwise. Thanks for letting us all know you cancelled your preorder. Not sure why you bought it in the first place if you were going to be swayed away by a bunch of nothing complaints.
