Bungie announces Destiny 2 Showcase for Aug 23: “Witness what’s next”

Milk · Jul 21, 2022

Damn, that's insane. We're only gonna be halfway through Year 5 at that point. Hype train's revving early this cycle.

There wasn't even supposed to be a Destiny 2.

What? That leaked Bungie-Activision contract from waaaaaay back pre-D1 had a roadmap for four Destiny games.

I wonder if witness gets wrecked in lightfall or they leave it for final shape.

I bet Lightfall will be avenger infinity war moment and final shape is endgame

Vimto · Jul 21, 2022

Hopefully next expansion will have lfg system in game. And how about loadouts? Pretty please

I KILL PXLS · Jul 21, 2022

Bummed I no longer follow the story because I'd love to get hyped about the end game that's coming up. Tried to get back in to the game a few times but just can't anymore. Definitely going to watch some Youtube story/cutscene roundups when it's all said and done though. Still love the lore.

More likely the guardians get wrecked in Lightfall and then the next year is spent trying to regroup for a retaliation. Based on the the way things were left at the end of The Witch Queen

we're almost certainly going to be spending some time tracking down Immaru so that we can resurrect Savathûn for help

You don't have the right to do that unless you reimburse me.

I mean, this is factually wrong.

Weaned myself off the game a few months ago but very tempted ot get back into it again.

It was rumored forever ago they would be bringing a new enemy faction but all rumors of that kind of just got quiet. Seems like they may have changed the lore to avoid having to create a race for them lol

Haha damn, well played Bungie if that's the case

But it doesn't fit their narrative, so...

Holy shit can we please have a Destiny 2 thread that doesn't just turn into the same fucking shit thread every single time

FFXIV is like half the size of Destiny file size lol

Ascenion said:
I think ESO is 120GB maybe a lil more

Shadowkeep in 2019 pushed D2 to 165GB.

https://gamerant.com/destiny-2-shadowkeep-file-size-download/

I can only imagine how big the game would be with Beyond Light and Witch Queen if no vaulting occurred. Probably an easy 200+ GB game. I utlimately wish there was a better soluition in place than the DCV but idk what that would look like.

So one of the things that leaked in the pastebin leak was in game LFG if I'm remembering correctly.

I think that's the Activision side of things. Bungie clearly wanted Destiny to be a platform SaaS title like other MMOs.

I don't get it. Are you saying that it's OK for companies to delete content that people have paid for?

I'm certainly not giving bungie any more money with the knowledge that they could just delete what I buy. Utterly unacceptable.

Whether or not we think it is "ok" has no bearing on the legality of it, and I can guarantee you that the TOS of those games covers Bungie in this case.

Last expansion campaign was really good. I hope they keep up that momentum for the next one.

TOS doesn't override consumer law/rights and has very little legal weight.

I'm going to jump back into this soon, I will consume the free to play content with a new character, buy the latest expansion, get through that and bam! I'm just as powerful as all those people that been playing for years :)

Might do the same tbh.

I absolutely cannot deal with the horrid mess that is my vault but a fresh char sounds nice.

that ain't an opinion

LightKiosk · Jul 21, 2022

Not an active player anymore but I always enjoy watching these reveal streams and their ViDocs for xpacs. Selfishly hoping that some xpacs get tossed our way on PS+ now that the acquisition has closed.

It feels as if Destiny has limitless potential for where they can take it, so dropping the 2 and just calling it Destiny going forward would make sense.

You didn't give an opinion. You asked a question you knew the answer to with the intent of trolling.

"People still play _____?" is never a valid question. You know the answer because you're literally posting in a thread about the game.

Nop I asked a serious question and you got defensive right away and insulting me, is this kinda behavior allowed in this site?

Actually Bungie was sold for $3 billion and is announcing a Showcase on the strength of nobody playing their game.

MidnightEquinox · Jul 21, 2022

Bungie must have the record for the company that most switched publishers ever.

Microsoft -> Activision -> Independent -> Sony now I think? was there anything else?

If Bungie wants to call themselves an MMO, they get to be treated and compared against other MMOs.

Aren't they still self-publishing their games under Sony?

Very unique acquisition terms tbh

I don't think SIE is going to be publishing their games under this new agreement. They are under Sony proper and will probably self publish I would guess.

Steal of the century on Sony's part honestly, they are always smart with their acquisitions.

A lot of people play with it every day. That's the PC statistic, but it's also popular on consoles.

I do hope that they wouldnt need to lock their quests in a vault now they have sony backing them

Isn't part of the reasons they do it is to keep the file size from getting out of control on console?

People who ask "People still play / watch / enjoy [thing]?" are never as funny or clever as they think they are. Just a tip.

I want to get back into Destiny but it's too much. I am ready for a clean break and jumping in point. Wonder when that'll come.

same, i love the moment to moment gunplay, the story, the raids, the dungeons...but i grew to hate the samey old grind every season to get higher power level in each slot, which took too much time for me. i stopped playing with season of arrivals because of that. 40-50 power level a season was too much for me. wish you could just jump into top end content every season without any grind at all, but i know a lot of people probably wouldn't like that.

Every time I wanna get into it again, I get annoyed by how much of the group content doesn't have matchmaking.

Or hell, with Legendary Lost Sectors they now force you to run difficult content solo.

I understand how easy it is to find a group with something like the Destiny 2 LFG Discord, but that doesn't really excuse the fact that there's no in-game solution to the problem.

I can't think of another MMO that's nearly as reliant on third-party apps as Destiny 2 is. I need a mobile app to manage my inventory and bounties. I need websites open to keep track of where Xur is and what I've already bought from him. I need to be in a Discord server in order to run group content.

Thats how it is now. Seasonal jump is only 10 power levels and the seasonal activity bumps your power if you are lower.
