Yea, it seems really slow for them to add stuff, and, as has been the case with a lot recently, when they add something new they remove “just as much”.
And still so many great features from Destiny 1 that were already “working” are missing in action, like SRL, the “books” (sort of Triumph/collection thing…).
I suppose they fear that, if they keep all the old stuff in the game, the population will be too dilluted between everything, which other games have already solved through rotating “focus on this today or this week for extra reward” incentivisation, or even through Cross-play for non-competitive content, so instead of 50.000 PC players and 1m PS4/700k XB1 (or whatever) you’d have 2+m players all being matchmade together.
I am guessing next season we’ll see YET ANOTHER “Open world” event requiring a well coordinated team of players at high light level doing some “dunk and throw” event to summon some shit while fighting lots of mobs, all in a public zone where 2 guys will be doing something else, leaving the remaining 2-3 “3-man-fireteam slots” alone to handle it themselves.
Recall the Mars event required quite a few players to compete, but if 3 people joined the same zone, and they were in different fireteams, that zone would be “locked” and the only way to get more people was to either invite them through the ingame friends/clan list or go on discord or other third party apps to find players - because Matchmaking is bad.
@Telefrog This season I made it… Well, except for the event they unlocked 6 weeks before end of season, namely the Grandmaster Nightfalls, which to complete required me to be MAX Light level to even JOIN, and since I had not “grinded enough” (according to some) this season (Discounting the fact that a lot of my +light upgrades have been duplicates or for the same slot, rendering them USELESS for achieving max light level) I can not get this achievement, since I missed the first week of it.
(Event requires 6 GM Nightfalls completed in as many weeks, rotating 1 per week)
All the vaults and stuff they added this season will disappear once it ends, so all the work they made on making some nice (albeit not that large) areas will disappear, as well as whatever locations were included in the exotic weapon quests…
When I find myself thinking back at something that I liked in Destiny… I wonder “Was this in Destiny 2?”… and most of the time the answer was, NO, it was in Destiny 1. But at least now, with the removal of even more stuff in Destiny 2 as the season onslaught continues, perhaps I can remember things in Destiny 2 that they also removed. (oh yea, I already miss the timed nightfalls without all the shitty modifiers…).
