I'm now in a time zone to play Destiny with y'all, but you've abandoned the game so fast I don't think I'll be continuing.
It seems the thrill (grind) of D1 has passed and most have moved on to other games.

I still play a pretty good amount on the nights I'm not working.
It's just a crap game, sadly. The story was really good the first time, but it's over quick and afterward we get the pile of trash that is 4v4 teamshot Trials, no-variety Crucible and standardized weapons that disincentivize grinding. They threw away so many of the improvements the Live Team made that made D1 great by the end of its life cycle.
I haven't touched it in awhile. Don't plan on getting the DLC. I learned after last time, and didn't buy the 90 dollar package and I am glad I did. Maybe it comes back better, but I'm not taking that chance. i will say I got my money's worth with the story, but there's nothing there to bring me back.Beau Holder said:

I don't play PS4 often period but I'm still enjoying it. I'm at 291 and still need to find the time to play through a raid & nightfall. I like hoping on for 30 minutes to do some random quest or whatnot but don't have to time or interest to play for hours on any game these days really. I'm also enjoying crucible much more than I thought I would.
Unfortunately the release date was awful timing for my interest. Over the summer or after football season I would have been playing significantly more. In addition my primary PS4 gaming partner had his house flooded by Harvey right before release so that decreased his play time to damn near nadda.
Personally I think live team will give bursts of life and business to the game over time. It really was released with a pretty small amount of end game options. Just one raid and a handful of strikes. For someone like me who doesn't play much time it works great but for people with more time & interest it runs out of material pretty quickly at this point.

this post on reddit made a very good case that they forked the code after the release of the TTK, and didn't look back. Bugs and gun stats that released with TTK (and changed by the Live Team) are still in D2.Beau Holder said:

Highlights:
The Live team is now in charge, while the core team works on expansions, so it'll be interesting to see what changes are made going forward.Quote:
Also, the PVP sandbox has some remnants of an older build of Destiny:Also there's some other weird things.
- High impact autos reigning supreme (Suros Regime, anyone?)
- Hand cannons having bloom (this was removed, or at least heavily mitigated)
- Pulse rifles suck except for the fastest firing ones (Praedyth's Time Piece was beast in vanilla D1)
- MIDA has High Caliber Rounds (it was removed in D1)
- High caliber rounds actually being obnoxious (it's effectiveness was nerfed in D1)
- Sniper rifles have "visual flinch" instead of actual flinch (fixed in D1)
- Shotguns can headshot in PVP (shotgun crit multiplier was removed in D1)
- Warlocks had extended melee range in the beta (this was removed before launch)
- Hunter tether not suppressing immediately (this was fixed in D1)
- Remember at the beginning of The Taken King the chests weren't granting planetary materials for the Touch of Malice? Kinda like what happens in patrol now.
- The unlimited super glitch was still working in the beta, literally the same method as how to activate it
- Also around the beginning of the Taken King, people did searches in the API and they found Cayde's Treasure Maps, the Dubious Volley (now Wardcliff Coil), exotic ships/sparrows, Adventures, the European Dead Zone...
It baffles my mind that the core team and live team are basically islands to each other. you'd think that they would have meetings and group sessions. Literally nothing the live team fixed or added to D1 is in D2 (except supremacy). No strike modifiers (other than the ****ty nightfall modifiers), armor ornaments, record books, private matches, gear kiosks, etc. On top of that, they made the vault worse than what launched with D1 in 2014.

This is probably my biggest complaint is that there seems to be no connection within bungie. Highly infuriating to see what's going on now vs what was going in D1 vinella being nearly identical.
That said I'm always down to do te nightfall and raid if folks get on. Also still do flash points.
Quick outline of what they went over on the Bungie stream today about the new content

Did anyone watch?!? The timeline thing is awesome!
Watching now. Osiris' introduction vid was badass.
I hope to be back soon. Been swamped with work and school and have very few nights that I can dedicate to long destiny sessions. I still need to complete the raid for the first time even though I am 300
Hey guys, Iron Banner is back tomorrow. I'll be on playing if anyone wants to run!

I'll probably jump in to play some of it
Work + timezones may make it more difficult to play during the week but I'm down to play with some folks over the long weekend coming up.

They just did another live stream for the new DLC coming up... and it was super uninspired
At one point they were talking about the public event and said "most rewarding public event yet", and the reward was 2 tokens and a blue item lol

The new strikes are just old missions? Is that correct?
I just ran about an hour of IB but should be on later tonight
The 2 new strikes are "story strikes" so you play them in the story and later they will be strikes available that will be scaled for 3 people
I tried to play my first Nightfall game last night (late to the party) and the computer didn't pair me with anyone else so I was in there solo and just jumped out. Doesn't it usually pair you with people? Or do you have to have a fireteam ready?
Nightfalls don't have matchmaking. So you'll have to bring 2 buddies or go the guided games route which will pair you with randoms.
How do you do that?
I believe you go to where you select the nightfall and there should be an orange symbol near it that says guided games. It's been awhile since I've tried but I think thats it.
Think this is an old image but might still work.

Man this place is dead considering there is a DLC next week lol
Yup, and with football season winding down, that's quite depressing.
Anyone want to sherpa a couple guys through the raid? >300 light level.
Odd that they are doing it in place of instead of in addition to. Makes me think that the stream includes something they know we wouldn't like. Loot boxes anyone?
I know destiny 1 was a huge disappointment at the same point in its lifecycle as we are with destiny 2, but man this game has been disappointing so far. Hopefully they kick it back into gear with the dlc like they did with d1.
I was really disappointed with all the different changes they made to several of the game's core elements, in my opinion. Not being able to access strikes except in a playlist, switching to 4 man PvP for EVERYTHING, doing ridiculous amounts of achievements for a reward package just to get the same gear for the upteenth time (and still not having a set of raid arms), or the final straw for me to wait until the DLC release was having a PRESTIGE RAID with only cosmetic changes to armor. Really, no light level increase? Why even do the raid anymore? That's the WHOLE POINT OF PRESTIGE RAIDS!!! Come on Bungie!
Sorry, I meant, working as intended!

Lol, the reward for doing the raid challenges is an emblem. That's right, complete some of the hardest content and receive a jpeg.
D2 fell victim to the same problems as the Division. Awesome campaign, ****ty endgame. Bungie went full Division, you never go full Division.
At least the emblems track raid completions.. oh.. wait
I'm still disappointed in the way they implemented iron banner (no 6 vs 6, no iron banner themed drops after matches, tons of duplicates) and I hate the earning of keys (that disappear at reset) during the raid to be used in the underbelly.
