Let me get this straight, in order to unlock the forge weapons you have to endlessly grind public events???

Indeed. The game is not what it used to be at all and as other have said.. This isn't three years ago.. Now there are other good games out there. I have been re-grinding Diablo 3 and Warframe and having more fun than I have with Destiny. Literally logged on just to buy the new OP gun from Xur and hopped off this weekend. Maybe did a public event or two --- but less than 30 minutes. This coming from a Day 1 D1 player who played for hours every weekend.... Now I could honestly care less about the game until Bungie changes. I bought the season pass like an idiot; so you guys can expect to see when the next 4 hour of content DLC comes out in a few months.


And honestly, if you like the idea of doing things in space and the grind for gear and items than yeah -- download Warframe. It takes a bit to get into but at least it is all free.

I'm the same as you. Had days and days of time in D1. Now I don't even play D2. Logged in just to get the gun fron Xur and logged off. I just play Warframe every day. That's a game going in the right direction.

And strikes and crucible and chest farming.
It's not as bad as the start of the sword quest in D1 but it takes a bit to do some of the guns.

What a lazy endgame for the DLC. Wow.

I can't decide if I'm angry or sad. Maybe both.


Bungie really screwed the pooch with D2 so far. How can you not have the D1 live team interacting regularly with the D2 dev team during development? There are some big management issues inside of Bungie.

so Prometheus lens is getting a massive nerf today. They posted yesterday that until they have time to do proper QA (um, why wasn't QA done before release!?!?) they are going to severely neuter it and make it worthless. They promise to buff it in Jan sometime

I'm convinced a lot of this had to do with the partnering of Activision. The end game and quite frankly the eververse and token system don't feel bungie to me at all.

That said, I've heard rumors that the dev team and the live team don't talk. Which would explain why we have so much of a difference in D1 to D2.

The fact that I can't get a raid ship, a raid sparrow, or a raid gear that does things for the raid seems a very silly.

In fact, I thought I was okay with the whole bright engram thing until the XP issue. I feel stupid for saying as long as I'm able to get it for free by playing the game and get a lot of XP for it I'm fine.

I expect things to be "stuck" until the big year 2 update like TTK expansion. The fact that I can't go back and play missions except for the 3 that Ikora has is silly.

The Dawning begins on Tuesday, December 19.

The Dawning ends on Tuesday, January 9.


So...Snowball fights, Mayhem, The ability to purchase every Dawning Eververse item for Bright Dust, and mini quests/grind for rewards


  • Snowball Fights - In the Tower and at the Farm, you can tag your friends for bragging rights. In Strikes, you can blast an enemy with a snowball to stun them and deal big damage.
  • Mayhem in the Cold - Mayhem is back, so your abilities recharge faster. Point values are cranked up enough to melt the ice. It's anarchyand it's awesome.
  • Milestones of Winter - Engage in Crucible Mayhem or become legend in Strikes and you'll be rewarded. Every week, complete a milestone for a Dawning engram. Get in the giving mood with new consumables that give rewards to everyone you're playing with. If there's a specific Dawning item that you have your heart set on, Tess will refresh her inventory each week, enabling you to use your Bright Dust reserves for your holiday shopping. On one week or another during the three-week event, you'll find every Dawning-themed exotic (ship, ghost, sparrow, emote) and every Dawning-themed legendary armor piece on her shelves.
  • Gifting and Receiving - Pick up a Dawning Gift Schematic from the Bazaar. Venture to other worlds and craft a unique gift for the vendors and agents you find in the Tower and beyond. Then, give the lucky recipient their gift and receive a gift in return. You can participate in the season of giving every day of the event.

    Of course all the special items from the dawning are going to be put in the Eververse, and not an actual vendor

    Man, it is getting more and more disappointing how much of the game is being put in Tess Eververse's hands.

    Like really, really disappointing.

    You aren't kidding. Don't get me wrong. I love the destiny universe and still hop on a quite a bit, but this game just isn't as robust as D1. What it did right in the story doesn't make up for the end game.

    One thing I am very pleased to see.
    (Next week, for free, on Bungie.net)



    Official Destiny Web Comic
    An Osiris and Ikora Origin Story
    Osiris was once the champion of the Last City. Vanguard Commander. Seeker of secrets and discoverer of wonders. And then everything changed. How did Osiris go from hero to traitor?

    I, like many others, have been really disappointed with how they've abandoned the lore in-game. This is clearly their answer to the "oh crap" moment they had after seeing the response to the DLC, but I really hope they take this moment to push for external content. Obviously an official Book of Sorrows or Grimoire collections would be great but I'd also love to see both canon and fan-fiction novels. Hopefully, they churn these out regularly (once a month or so depending on length), but no word if this is a one and done deal.

    I've been playing in short time increments lately, but not long enough to change my profile to show that I'm online. I start playing and within 20 minutes I'm ready to turn it off. That being said, I'll probably grind some heroic strikes this weekend for the forge materials and will raid if anyone is interested. Also I still need to complete the arms dealer part of the quest for the Legend of whatever shotgun and of course the stupid rat king timed challenge.

    This. Sadly. While we can talk about end game, progression, gear...yada yada...its comes down to this.

    Warframe has a STEEP learning curve. But once you get on top of it, its fantastic.

    Xur's actually in the hanger if you can't find him. He's got the fated engram and 3 of coin this week as well.

    The Fated Engram is one exotic you don't have but it's only one per ACCOUNT so pull it with a character your looking for gear

    So I'm excited about this, but I'm still a bit burned by bungie right now. I mean you have all of this right cool lore, and no substance to back it up with in game. Not only that, I'm counting down the days until Anthem comes out now. Bungie needs competition for this game to be relevant again.

    Also, why the heck can't I look at my guardian on bungie.net anymore?

    I really miss being able to just randomly check out my guardian on the app. Why, why was that something you needed to remove. That has been the theme of Destiny 2. "Why?" and "Why is this not in the game anymore"

    I was excited for Anthem until I realized it was EA making it, and it's probably going to be a giant microtransaction fest

    Instead of Activision its EA. Bungie/Bioware producing content and Activision/EA milking it for money.
