Ironically, all of the things we're getting in Monument of Triumph are all things that could have saved the game if they did it sooner
Updated patrol destinations and loot, revitalizing Gambit (somewhat), the sandbox changes ( including the Nightstalker melee and ability reworks, and the remaining 4th aspects for the Light subclasses), integrating the Portal into the Director, and so on. All of these things, we kept asking for, for months and years, and only now are they doing it, for one big last hurrah. This game could have been saved if they had listened to us, and implemented all of this sooner.

I do think the Fate Saga was interesting premise. But I do agree it could have been stopped at the Final Shape and then develop D3 with the fate saga or what not. There are so many stories that are left untold, like Xivu Arath and the Nine amongst others. The issue with the EoF was clearly the -blam!- changes especially with the Portal. It’s white clear developers were held back and unable to cook with how this new and final update is gonna be.

That [b][i]and[/i][/b] not blowing a ton of cash “incubating” a bunch of projects that never became games.

Can you please add a way to focus at zavala to get the edge of fate armor sets like bushido or smoke jump and weapons from then cuz there not in the pool and plenty of people missed out on getting the good stuff hahah then everything your adding on June 9th will b perfect

Edited by Dredgen_D3?: 5/31/2026 2:42:34 PMThese things definitely would’ve been nice sooner sure, but like others are saying a few small additions and QoL improvements isn’t it. None of those really matters without meaningful content. Without new content I see most players coming back on June 9TH and being bored after a day or two and leaving again.

Edited by Northern: 5/31/2026 6:37:00 AMI highly doubt some quality of life improvements would've have been enough to turn around Destinys fortunes. A large, stellar, dlc would have pulled back significant player numbers. Unfortunately, Bungie no longer has enough developers, or money, to make big expansions. The studio appears to be stuck in a death spiral.

3 RepliesMoney is what would have saved the game. Not making the players entertained for awhile.

I completely disagree what would save the game before the announcement of the destiny 2 Live service shut down would be to have more content, and the return of seasonal content additional new rewards throughout Crucible and PVE on a seasonal basis. People like yourself or players like yourself don't get it that this is supposed to be a looter shooter the idea is to play the game, and get rewards the idea is not to play the game for cosmetics. Like myself I played since 2014 I love harder content, but when the rewards are worth my time. Ex I'm not going to sit there, and play stupid power Deltas or artificial difficulties for Cosmetics nobody's going to do that because it's not worth your time to put that much effort into nothing. I told the community for at least 3 years that this is what was going to happen decrease Rewards decreased content more emphasis on making the game harder that the game would be shut down because the player numbers were below average because of it. The community's response for feedback like that for myself, and from other players they told players to go play something else, and look what happened those people are more responsible than Bungie because they're the ones who told people to shut it.

2 RepliesAllegedly, they lost between 70 and 90% with EoF so I speculate that if THIS had been the state of EoF, they may have halved that number. That said, I still say they should have taken a break from D2 after TFS.
-
Destiny 2 ended with "us" killing the Witness. The story was over and most casuals had no reason for playing anymore.
-
1 ReplyI don't know where you got this weird idea from but none of the things present in the upcoming updates would have saved Destiny 2. A few quality of life updates is not going to bring back hundreds of thousands of players and also incentivise spending money.
-
No, because this is only a few of the many things that need fixing.
-
Morpheus voice: What if I told you…they didn’t want the game to be saved.

Such an amazing update!.. its like destiny 2.5 honestly.. Wow

2 RepliesWoulda coulda shoulda . It's academic. You battled Savathun, Crota and the Witness . You saw armadas burning off the shores of Orion. You became legend, an ender of gods. Glorious times but it is done. To everything there is a season.

It would have to be WAY sooner. I’m talking LIGHTFALL sooner. -
1 ReplyBecause they wanted to stretch it out, and monetize it. This is the way.

4 RepliesI disagree. while everyone would have been happy right out the gate, with no new actual content it would have been less than a week before the speedrunners were complaining again. LOL
-
Agreed. Destiny has always lacked replayability on the PVE side, and this update helps alleviate that by making more actitivies relevant. It also balances much of the PVE and PVP sandboxes, so now players are not as incentivised to be "most optimal" and can focus on other things. Also, it gives access to new loadputs in both PVE and PVP, further improving the variety and replayability. It helps new and returning players "catch up" to old ones by allowing focus-farmable gear.
-
If I’m being honest a break and a D3 a few years from now will kill it. Everyone will be lining up. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. This might be the best thing for a D3 plus they might be able to turn marathon around. I hope for bungie and the employees they can.
-
Bungie please, rework the exotic class armor, add more exotics combinations, its the end, give us new exotic combinations.
-
I have to disagree too. Not sure if the game can be saved. Rebooting with a new game(D3) is the money grab. This game is a looter shooter though I wish it was an mmo. They never should have said one destiny forever. It should always be a new game every 2 to 3 years. It should always have quality of life updates, new engine, dedicated servers(at least for pushing out competition pvp). Even refresh on new ghost/characters. Move to the future. What happens now… 100 years from now. Not to mention they missed on so many things such as the armor system. I spend more time deleting armor than playing sometimes.

1 ReplyYou say it. These kind of updates are the one's that made Destiny Destiny. Im happy that we get this update now and it keeps me playing for awhile, but at the same time i am so sad that its the end. Damn.
-
While Im happy with the update that's about to happen regarding loot refreshes. I havent seen anything as to weather or not there will be anything new like missions or stories to do. Regardless it will be fun for at least the next few weeks. Lets hope that Destiny's numbers are 5 times higher than Maracraps are. That will be a good FU to Sony and Bungie.
-
2 RepliesThat which you make mention of would have definitely improved the game. However, if the plan was ever to continue D2 properly, full expansions would have been required. Instead Bungo opted for "smaller dlcs" which didn't go down well with the vast majority of the playerbase. Many viewed that decision as the jump off point. Only the clown show that is Marathon prevented Bungie killing the game off post TFS.

9 RepliesEdited by THA_3rd_GUY: 5/29/2026 2:54:33 PMWould it have? Aside from Distortions and SRL, we've seen very little in terms of actual content. While these are nice QOL updates, none of it matters if there's no new content. It's a nice send-off for sure, but how enticing will it be if all we have to engage with is harder patrol areas and only five racing tracks?

1 ReplyIf this was done even a year after final shape, it would have been insane but they chose to do the portal
