It’s been an honor, Guardians
Well guys it looks like it could actually happen.
We’ve reached a point where we are lower than CoO levels in terms of Population.
A population point that the current Studio head, Justin Truman, stated that D2 was about 5 weeks from shutting down back in CoO.
It looks like CrossPlay is the only thing keeping the game running along with the much expanded Everworse store.
And yet we have heard nothing from Tyson Green, no State of the Game blog, no Roadmap, vague and tone deaf TWAB after TWAB whilst this game continues to get worse every week.
Many of us told you how bad the DLC EoF looked and how poorly the ideas of the Portal, World Tiers, the excessive grind etc would be received.
But oh no, Bungie knew best.
Let’s face it, you’ve only ever produced your best work when another company has held your feet to the fire and made you cook.
I hope Sony do exactly that and burn those Bungie tootsies good until you metaphorically squeal.
Although this time I think you’ve burnt too many of your loyal player base over the years, with this rollercoaster ride of a game, to pull off another phoenix from the flames act.
Just in case it is the end, it’s been real.
Thank you to everyone I’ve played with on here over the years, but a big thank you to my current clan and my old ones and my good friends.
You know who you are.

For some reason, I installed D2 on my console yesterday and updated all the DIM and D2 apps with the hope of reigniting the flame with new content. The last time I played was almost a year ago (or something like that) when the HELM crashed on a planet. It took me one mission to feel the disappointment of this game, but even then, I managed to finish the mission and head back to the tower. As a 2015 D1 player, like many others, I can not enjoy this new content that feels stale on day 1. The community is gone. Most of my friends quit this game and haven't been online for a year. The clan I was part of had 500 active players, and now it is just 2 players looking for players on lfg. Raids are still a lfg mess. Given the small community, it's a pointless activity to get a group of people who will want to bash out complex mechanics for fun. D2 is not a Mario game, which is played by people for fun. And if you have 6 people who have an IQ above Mario Kart racing game, then there are more fun activities to do than this dull game. As much as I love my favourite D2 content creators, I feel like their influence is also partly to blame for the downfall of this game. This is quite visible now. Everything's a grind fest or build fest or a "play with my stream" fest. All of this caters to content creators viewer count. I appreciate why Sony will be interested in this number for some KPI, but that's not useful for an average gamer. Lots of mixed videos on the state of game vs. build vs. play with my stream just sums up the game. Maybe D2 is a game that should be enjoyed with a good community. But, Bungie, being Bungo, made no efforts to make one. Compare this to Warframe or D&D community, which carries the game through ups and downs. I bet even Forza or GTR community is better 🤷 I have the annual pass and next expansion bundle, but I uninstalled and moved back to Cyberpunk, BF, Skate, and various other games for casual/average gamers. Even playing Doom, Gears, and Civilization feels better than this. Bungie is what Nokia was. They lost it by being arrogant and ignorant.

They have repeatedly refused to listen to the community, things like power grind have been hated for years but they introduce the worst one ever. They have stuck their head in the sand and refused to listen or do anything to save the game. The way they have fixed issuse in the past how how hard is it to increase drops or drop difficutly in ops? And really if they say it is too hard how about you fix your code so you can do on the fly changes as need when you introduce stupid crap?

Everything is going according to plan.

4 RepliesMan D2 content creators are being blessed with the story of their life. Endless drama about the state of the game, every one of them speculating about what Bungie should do when most of them main life experience is sit in a bedroom playing video games in front of a camera. Watched Aztecross yesterday, justifying his “experience” as having been consulted on every D2 extensions. But surprisingly the bad one are not on him, but because Bungie did not listen. They are entertaining I give them that, but that’s about it.

10 RepliesSomething that I haven’t seen many people consider when talking about player population… How many players does Bungie need? During CoO, the whole studio was working on D2. They even had outside studio assistance. They needed a high population to justify the cost of making the game. Right now, most of the studio is focussed on Marathon. A much smaller team is working on D2 and they have no outside studio assistance (as far as I’m aware). So maybe a smaller population is expected and accounted for.

1 ReplyCoO was close to shutting the studio down cause they had more people working on the game and no other projects in development. A lot less of a worry now.

Being silent can be an answer too. Generally, I wouldn't be surprised if they shut Destiny 2 down. Maybe it goes on... but it will never be like it was. Edit: I'm at the point where I really don't care anymore. The only thing that keeps me connected is the people from my clan. But for them I just need Discord and no Destiny 2.

3 RepliesYou can't help but feel a little bad for Justin. Pete drove this franchise into the ground and instead of staying to face the consequences of his actions, he cashed out leaving everyone else on a collision course with an iceberg.

Same to you Guardian, Godspeed on your future endeavors I think this is the real end, there isn't anything in place to save it this time, we all know how easily Sony would rather scrap and forget failed projects instead of investing more to salvage them, the writing is on the wall -
