@PaulTassi Is the raid almost finished? That's what the community should be pushing for, not d3. One more DLC with just the raid please.

Someone suggested I track a lot of open questions about Destiny 2 end-of-service, and I figured I'd crowdsource for an article or video. So far have things like: - What happens to artifact rotation? - What happens with resetting transmog bounties? - What happens with balance patches? etc. Post below

@PaulTassi @MacticsG1 We were supposed to get a whole new row of perks with shadow and order. Usually we get a preview too, can you find out if we still getting those?

@MacticsG1 Oh I didn’t even think about the artifact

My #1 request for the final update of destiny is to put the artifact mods on an automated rotation that cycles through all old artifacts. Doing this would naturally refresh the meta and keep the game feeling a little more alive for those who decide to stick around a while.

@kjellaim @Destiny2Team @A_dmg04 @Cozmo23 Lol get fucked

Any chance I could get unbanned @Destiny2Team @A_dmg04 @Cozmo23 Kjell#4756 is my Bungie ID Since my ban was not because of cheating. I would like to enjoy the last Destiny 2 update on my account with my friends. Thanks.

@PaulTassi It's very sad to think they may have a lot of the raid finished and we will never see it

I don’t know how much work is left on Shattered Cycle, I don’t know how long it might have gotten delayed before this, but yes fundamentally setting this up with a “one last expansion” would have been less nauseating than how this is currently playing out

@NuCaloric Equilibrium was sick. The mechanics of the final boss fight are awesome, changing the boss dps time and threshold with your choices worked really well

Raids ending with a bang while Dungeons died as Star Wars doo-doo larp is actually so perfect I can't

@SteveSTechMan @pcgamer @Bungie This guy sniffs his own farts fs

@pcgamer We do. 100% but NOT by @Bungie. Their DEI woke BS is what killed destiny in the first place.

Our readers are clear: They want Destiny 3 pcgamer.com/games/fps/our-…

@S3Plan @thiccdotexe Facts. But OP is a troll that thinks the current bungie is woke and gay. Not someone who genuinely thinks OG bungie devs were better at any of that stuff

@thiccdotexe The raid and dungeon team is the best squad there has ever been. Destiny art direction and music is always on point. Gunplay is in the upper echelon of all FPS games on the market. Destiny has problems, but it has a lot of talented people building it.

Going against the grain: You don't want Destiny 3. Destiny 2 was in decline for a while. The story concluded; messy as it was. The Bungie that made Destiny no longer exists. Destiny 3 would only disappoint.

@thiccdotexe Salvation edge. Desert perpetual. Equilibrium. They been cookin

@Sir_Dammed All that text to tell people you sniff farts

Rock, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this because, frankly, it should've been your parents. While I'm certain they were just trying to protect you: it's not nice that they kept something like this hidden and allowed you to go through life unsure as to why you're "different" from the others. It needs to be said, Rock: You're retarded. With that out of the way, I feel compelled to inform you that it is possible to both 1. be critical of dodgy practices which plague video games, like power creep... and 2. be critical of dodgy practices which plague video games, like DEI. Anyways, don't worry because I plan to actually explain my position using argumentation, rather than just insulting you and trying to discredit what you're saying by undermining it. ← That's your wheelhouse. We prefer to say things that are backed by reason and logic. While I'm confident that you'll fittingly attempt to write this off as "too many words" or "me caring too much", I'm sorry but I feel it's important to support my arguments: DEI is a backwards, regressive practice that is tangibly hurting the gaming industry. It is also flagrantly racist: blindly assuming advantages and disadvantages on the basis of nothing more than a person's race, which is definitionally racial prejudice btw (racism)... but I digress. The problem with DEI is that it's antithetical to merit. Meritocracy and equity cannot exist simultaneously. Equity, in practice, is literally providing incentives for diversity, while providing disincentives for a lack of it. This all but forces employers to artificially inflate the number of "diverse" people working under them to meet unwritten quotas. As a result, the gaming industry is "cutting corners" and loosening their hiring standards in order to achieve these incentives. As a result, you're getting people who wouldn't know what a "good video game" looked like if it landed on their foreheads designing your products: people who are underqualified, out of touch, and simply not as skilled as the other guys. In the days of equality, we were strictly getting the absolute most qualified person for the job, *regardless* of traits like race/gender/sexual orientation. This is why video games were so fucking good and why the preferences of consumers were always the top priority of companies: the people working in the industry were gamers themselves and they knew what worked, and what mattered. Instead, we now have underqualified developers, not to mention time, budget and resources being spent on shit that frankly just doesn't fucking matter to the average player. Nobody gives three quarters of a fuck if a studio is "diverse" or not, so the fact that millions of dollars are being spent on this instead of the games themselves is fucking retarded. Nobody gives a fuck if a medium that is literally about fun and escapism is "inclusive," so the fact that millions of dollars are being spent on this is fucking retarded. Meanwhile, "sensitivity and inclusivity consultants" are now being hired who literally exist to scrutinize/politicize games... and their function is to suggest changes to things that could be deemed "offensive" or politically incorrect. As a result, you're getting games that are more watered down, sanitized, and soulless. This muddies the waters and makes fiction worse for literally everyone, even if some of you are too stupid to realize it. While no system is perfect, equality was the closest thing we ever had to a perfect system... and then "equity" (the E in DEI) came in like a freight train and took that away from us because identity obsessed progressive retards (you) were indoctrinated by political activists who desired to exploit tribalism for personal gain and votes. "but u can still have merit and diversify, that's the point of equity!" → The *point* of equity is irrelevant. What matters is what equity actually is/does, in practice. "but if 2 ppl are equally qualified, u just have 2 hire the more diverse one!" → This is also nonsense. It is incredibly rare to get two people of *identical* qualifications, experience, and intelligence. As a result, it is impossible to get perfect, 1:1 diversity in any scenario. Equity was literally designed to artificially increase diversity in the workforce, because hiring based purely on qualifications was skewing heavily in favor of *white male applicants.* That's it. That's the entire reason it exists. Progressives didn't like this and screamed "wacism," because they're retarded and don't understand things like demographics, and how/why a workplace in a country that is 68% white might have a lot more white employees than black ones... or how/why an industry that skews heavily male/is preferred by men would have more male employees than female ones. You're the tourist, Rock. We actually care about our hobbies and want to protect them from people like yourself. Sit down and shut up for once.

@GladiusMalus @ReaperknivesX Onyx is on the front of the ship!

@ReaperknivesX Well-Bitch or Well-Whore (It's always me), all the symbol call-outs, especially the non canon ones: "Uhh Dragon with a Spear through its Neck", "jebel barkal" or the discussion if Oryx is in the fronst or the back of Kingsfall final >.> (He spawns in the back btw)

I know other games probably have them, but what terms are Destiny specific, things you only hear a Destiny player say. “Blueberry” “Ad clear” “DPS rotation” “Jiggle peaking” “Ghost melee” “Div B*tch” Stuff like that. We need a D2 Dictionary.

@Digging4Freedom @TheARCcentral

@TheARCcentral I’m not paying $40 for “after 80 hours it starts to click, and you start to look past the dogshit menus, the migraine-inducing visuals, and the sweaty, adderall addicted, toxic rat community of try hards”. 👎

I’m an ARC page but game recognises game. It’s the best multiplayer game to come out this decade.

@gleebion @MallowTheQueen @murekkep144 True but d2 is only at this low point because a lack of content, properly managed d2 can easily do 100k upward to 300k. Marathon might be cheaper to make but the numbers are really bad for them too and they just launched

@invalid72846 @MallowTheQueen @murekkep144 11k players on D2 is far worse, than 10k on Marathon because of how expensive each genre is to make. Destiny takes far more resources to provide the content its gluttonous players want compared to Marathon. Marathon is a safer long term bet because the maintenance cost is lower.

Reminder that a large amount of Marathon hate came from people that thought if the game failed, Bungie would be forced to invest more in Destiny. The opposite was true btw. Marathon's success would've likely given Bungie the room and resources to try to turn D2 around

@Bugzvii I played it for maybe 10 hours on the free weekend. The obnoxious bright colors that covered half the map, the fast ttk, the slow progression, terrible UI, nobody in prox chat, it wasn't fun

My analysis is complete. Look at all these losers in the comment hating on a game they haven’t played more than a hour

@thedreadjesus @MallowTheQueen @murekkep144 If d2 made more money bungie leadership would have made better decisions? I don't see how that tracks. They probably lost money this past year but the last 10 years must have been profitable. D2 was their only game when Sony paid 3.6B, surely they were making good profits

@invalid72846 @MallowTheQueen @murekkep144 if d2 made enough money to justify its costs, we would not have seen the financial decision making horrors we've seen over the last 10 years unfortunately

@Bugzvii @DescenderWise Enjoy dire marsh but at night. Lmao

@DescenderWise Enjoy 2 major updates per year now

Play Marathon It’s fun

@Bugzvii Where's the community note on this?

@Geezaws2 This is so dumb. If marathon somehow turns it around then Sony starts investing in more extraction shooters or more into marathon not d3

Marathon did not kill Destiny. It seems to be the contrary. Marathon is the only thing that can save Destiny right now, and it might be the only thing that can save Bungie.

@thedreadjesus @MallowTheQueen @murekkep144 Bungie spent a lot of money on d2 but it also made them a lot of money. Marathon hasn't turned a profit yet.

@invalid72846 @MallowTheQueen @murekkep144 d2 was setting money on fire for the majority of its lifetime. fate saga was a bet that there were enough players to keep the lights on after TFS with a post-layoffs smaller team. there were not. no momentum, no destiny. marathon will be cheaper to maintain after more layoffs

@giancar73012035 Marathon fans who love destiny aren't going to care what someone says about their game on x, I personally cant wait for the memes dunking on marathon when we see the numbers.

Saying things like this just discourages people from playing the update. The idea is for all Bungie fans to support the update, not to start a factional war.

@isolatedrook We will see the same thing with Marathon in about a year. What will you do to save your garbage game?

I guess nothing brings the Destiny community together quite like the end of development. All of a sudden, everyone’s out here organizing synchronized login days and signing petitions to show support. Where was all of this when the game actually needed it?
