I still need to get the weapon. Haven't played Destiny since a little bit on Tuesday though. I know its not widespread, but enough people have had their last played character deleted that I don't wish to risk it. Mainly because it seems to happen when people get error coded when logging in, and every time I log in and select a character before I even get to orbit I get "contacting Destiny servers." The odds are low, sure. But I just don't want to take the chance. That's pretty scary. I saw that, too. I've sent my three characters and farmed GM Insight a few times and other than that I'm basically just leisurely getting ready for next season. Bounties are set to go and I'm not spending any more resources like resonance or anything else, either. I hope you can get that bow and its catalyst. Until they nerf it, it's pretty friggin' impressive. What are they going to do for the people missing their characters?

This is exactly right.
Destiny 2 is one of a number of MMO ish games running on these ancient game engines and it's not tenable. This game engine goes back to friggin' Halo for cripes sake. They are overdue to move on to a "Destiny 3" on a new game engine and I fear the chickens are coming home to roost. Adding MORE content with Lightfall? Good luck.

Continuing Destiny 2 was just another boneheaded decision Bungie made after splitting with Activision.
Everyone knows the engine has been crap for a long time. They've stated before that Destiny 2 wasn't built to last as a never-ending game.
Personally, I was bummed when they announced D2 was going to keep going and going and going.
And especially now. I loathe what the game has become. I've said it before, and I'll say it a million more times, the game has become a chore. Gameplay is fun, of course, but everything else is annoying to me.
I look at all the useless junk that has been added to the game and it makes me not care anymore. Triumphs and seals being a big example of that, and it's going to get worse with guardian ranks. The collections tab another thing, especially since you can't pull most of it back out. If I can't achieve 100%, I no longer care. FOMO doesn't work on me, because it only serves to make me care even less about current stuff because of stuff I already missed.
I favor hard resets from time to time. D2 has been out since 2017, it's a completely different game than D2 was. If I want to revisit D1, I can. D2 is gone and yet we're still playing D2.
Now if they wanted to make a Destiny game that went on for 10 years or so, fine, but it should be built from the ground up to support that. Not a game that gets gutted to warp to the new design. Nothing gets taken out, nothing is unattainable.

100 percent. I still get what I want from it but that shift is undeniable.
I'm waiting for this Sony money train to start showing up along with some checks and balances. I watched the way Guerilla Games was handled as a second party royalty with their Horizon Zero series. That's what needs to happen with Bungie because we have said this before and I'll say it again: I've eaten a lot of crow about feeling good about Bungie leaving Activision. I wish they had stayed.

www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/bringing_challenge_backLMAO this company has completely lost it. I don't know which inclusion team the people who thought any of this belongs to, but they are retarded. This is ass. I expect it'll be walked back before next season, but that they even think it's a good thing or even remotely close to what the community wants is absurd. It's literally the opposite of what people have been asking for.

Between that and how much I've been enjoying RDR2, I now regret buying Lightfall.

Same.
This will probably be the last expansion I buy for this game.
I have no doubts that they'll end up walking back these changes, but it shouldn't even need to come to that.

We have done this dance with Bungie before. I still wonder what planet they live on with some of these decisions. They do this and they walk it back, rinse and repeat. I don't get it.
I'll get what I want out of Lightfall same as what's come before but maybe this should be the last year and then shut it down. Sony had supposedly bought Bungie, right? Let's start seeing it. I certainly trust Sony's influence after how I've seen them handle second parties like Guerrila Games with the Horizon games and some other examples I could come up with.
Bungie was better under Activision.

I am a little more looking forward to it again, but I can definitely see myself being more hesitant in the future. Pretty sure I never finished any of the season stories, and only completed Witch Queen on my Titan.
