Can Destiny 2 Survive After Final Shape? ft. Byf

I have an idea for bungie just go back to making halo

I strongly believe that destiny will not survive after final shake if no new story/ exciting content comes out. The game needs to die and then a remake/remaster of D1 and D2 to come out a 10 years later in one game with everything.

Well you're right about one thing. Destiny isn't going to end after the final shape. But that does not mean that Bungie isn't going to pull a bungie and pawn it off on some other smaller Studio that is also owned by Sony so that they can focus all of their attention on marathon.

They spent 4 years with no sellers, and they can do it again.

Lots of people I know including myself aren't even buying Final Shape

Curious how youll follow this up considering the recent drama

Too late, that ship has left

I just want to know how much all this extra content is going to cost 🤦🏾‍♂️

I honestly think that they didnt advertise the 3rd dark subclass with final shape because they want to sell it with the "chapters" that will continue afterwards in order to keep players interest (and money) beyond the expansion.

Destiny failing is the only entertainment left once you accept that destiny and bungie don’t want to do better or be better . You can play other games and see what bungie fails at . The addicts and the content creators will keep the game alive . Because they either have no self control or can’t AFFORD to move on and try another game to make money from. It’s an L. And I’m sad that the game I put hrs in has been ruined by these people and bungie . I hope it fails . I hope bungie disappears into obscurity and that the employees find other work , preferably with people of a higher moral fiber and work pro consumer ethic .

You guys mentioned the 200 levels for the upcoming episode model. And as someone who plays a couple hours a day (i have a full time job) I easily get up to 160 seasonal rank or higher before the next season and that's with the seasonal model time frame we have now. If we have an extra month or so before a new episode I think active players will have no problem getting to rank 200 in my opinion.

It should not surprise anyone that now that the game is heading into a “wind down” phase they are just now actually putting some actual talent on the problem. I’m sure they look at PVP to carry the game past ending.

Just do away with Champs. That mechanic is getting tired

just say the reason there isnt as many devs working on destiny 2 it its because of Marathon

if anyone is familiar with call of duty zombies easter eggs, i really wish our raids were more structured like them like puzzles and hunts rather than just encounters. it might be a lil thing but a day one race "hunt" would be so much cooler to me. back in 2015 with call of duty black ops 3 the finale DLC map, revelations, came out. it took the entire community like a week just hunting for the next part or the next step and it was an amazing experience to be apart of and having this type of "hunt" rather than just an encounter that is so "hard" but in reality the enemies just one shot you and are complete tanks and people are stuck on a boss due to lack of damage. now these things are ok especially for things like day 1 raids but imagine a raid that is "hard" because the hunt is difficult, parts and things are hard to find, puzzles are hard to crack all while enemies are a lil hard. idk maybe im in the minority but more actual puzzle solving and less shooting at the red bars bc they have so much health.

As for me I skip past the story ,it's the gameplay that matters and as long as they keep it fun and an interesting I think the game will do just fine

The biggest problem with gambit is immune phases on boses it makes it pointless

I'm invested in the story so final shape will be my final purchase not buying the pass or seasons or whatever they are calling it

Tv shows and films used to be self contained and episodic stories. I miss this about TV. I’m weary of the never ending expanded universe bullshit.

Can we get bigger vaults? Or is it to costly? All these new guns and I cant keep everything

Byf is so intriguing. Love his mindset.

I want to love this game but the crap monetization and the fact they don't care about 90% of the game ruins expansions.

The world is 90% of the expansion but they are usually super easy and unrewarding, why not actually make a world every expansion with exploration and dynamic events like guild wars 2? Probably because that would take actual work and all they care about is rushing stuff out to make more money its sad, i hope they do something and surprise us with the new expansion but i have little to no hope in all honesty

I still think the next Destiny will be called "Destiny Universe".

Not unless they make massive changes to content drops. The drip fed seasons are bullshit.

Yes a new enemy faction is needed but hear me out . A new class !

I wish we could play in the dark age

The Warmind DLC type model is not just a “in the wild” idea. And just because Warmind didn’t work doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea. Warmind just wasn’t good. The seasonal model for narrative is watered down. They have to make stories fit into this “activity” BS. And now the seasonal activities are more complex. Complexity doesn’t mean good. I can’t stand the season pass thing in modern games. I don’t have time to play every game I want to play within 2 or 3 months to max a pass out. But it doesn’t matter because people still pay the $10 for the pass. It doesn’t matter if you keep playing. Plus the store have all the best stuff. So when you do finally get time to play you see the cool stuff in the store and then drop $20 to by some cool stuff. Then you play and realize you’re not making much progress on the pass because you don’t know the strat to use to work through the activities and then pinnacles so you just get bored and stop playing again cuz the 1 or 2 hours you can play in a week just isn’t enough to move the need on the pass. So yeah, I like the DLC model where I can play when I want and not have to divide my time between activities that don’t fit together to help you advance.

We're in the endgame now 😅

I’m just bored. Seasons become uninteresting very quickly for me, and Lightfall straight through season of the deep harmed my interest in the story considerably. The current season is good, but it just doesn’t feel like enough.

Just saying - if a D3 does come some day and it’s development cycle looks anything like D2 currently does, I won’t even download it. I’m just tired of the whole live service delivery model. I haven’t even gotten FS yet, and at this point I don’t even know if I will. Apathy levels are high.

Lbh if you play often you hit lvl 100 like 5-7 weeks in minimum

Everyone been gone from Destiny's for year's .

This is just a speculative theory but i think after the final shape and we get the 3rd darkness subclass they could start combining light and dark to create 3+ new abilities from light/dark combinations

Like we have the time of the world...

Strand isn’t even that good

Blackburn already stated, that they are not bringing back anymore old raids. Which, to me , is a stupid move. Nobody was asking for Crota, if anything TONS of people have been asking for wrath, but instead they hand over Crota.

Even if they DON’T give us another Darkness Subclass, they should at least add on to the Darkness subclasses we already have. Like we do for light subclasses. Instead of having just Silence and Squall, for hunter Stasis , add some other super to use. Like how in Solar subclass there is golden gun gun and blade barrage, have them do the same thing with stasis and strand

When i say i want to go back to the CoO and warmind days, its not because the content was good. It was just a better content release flow that respected player time. I preferred when destiny was really hot for a month or two and then cooled off for a few months to let me go play other games. With the constant content flow it feels like a full time job.

I hope not effing die already

Gimme a one off dlc where a random alien enemy enters our system and has absolutely no idea what they light is or who guardians are. They try to take over earth and take the light once they find out. Make them competent but overall guardians are just annoyed by them because saving the earth and light is just another tuesday

I lfg raids almost exclusively, the most common feel is that once d2 is done being supported a lot of people are finished with the franchise

If Bungie wants to enable 2/3rds of the playerbase to ignore light level entirely then player light levels should just be removed. Have activities scaled with the player or above the player and just remove the pretty golden number altogether.

Best D2 podcast hands down. Could listen to you guys talk about anything!!

I don’t understand the not-liking of slow DLC releases instead of high speed trains of seasons. With the slower rate I had time to complete everything. I can’t complete seasons (tiers yes, but not the weekly checklist things) because there’s too much to do in too little time. I liked the time up to Dark Below and after. I had fun replaying missions, really getting to know the story, giving myself challenges, having time to explore more. It was more RPG fun for me. I could go resource gathering and it wouldn’t pressure me to complete the other content within a timed window.

Today’s high paced “engagement” driven content is so full of immersion breaking checklisting that I would prefer Dark Below, Curse of Osiris, Warmind. I enjoyed all those very much.

Im expecting more like the seasonal model to basically transfer to these episodes but just in much less frequency. I honestly think this lasts maybe the 1st year then it goes away and the game dies.

The community would praise Bungie if they indeed delivered the last darkness subclass as a secret. I can already see all the hype videos when people discover this new power. It would go to show that Bungie can still surprise us.

Destiny is barely going to limp over the Final Shape launch date, it sure as hell isn't going to survive past it, the game is a mess, its buggy and constantly DDOS'd and its live service loop got old, keep playing if your addicted, I'm out.

Will it survive be on the final shape? laughable… ha it’s already dead.
go ahead try to login…

My question is: if the Witness has been there for so long, what's keeping it from enacting the Final Shape? I guess we'll have to wait for those answers.
