This is a wild ass strategy. As someone who's mostly just a Destiny tourist, though, I think it's pretty cool. I can play my 20-30 hours every few months and have fun new skyboxes and locations to gawk at.

Destiny 2 Beyond Light Announced + 2021 / 2022 Expansions Revealed
- Thread starter Strakt
- Start date
To make room for new shitWowza that's 2/3's of the game gone good one.
and they don't want the cosmodrome to be back in it's full potential? Like what the fuck did you just remove 5 locations for????
Everything looked pretty good to me as a longtime but off-and-on player (I totally skipped the most recent season).
When does Arrivals start, is it up right now?

Given next-gen hardware (or modern PC hardware) I don't think the loadtimes should be an issue, but you'll always be waiting for matchmaking to happen. So a completely 'load/wait'-free Destiny will probably not happen.
I'm not sure I like the idea of removing older content. File size doesn't matter to me on PC, but I get the patching issues. I guess ideally I would have preferred the game be split up into parts, with the option to have all content or only relevant content.
This has all been just announced so it's hard to know how it will play out, but this just creates more FOMO for players. I still haven't finished all the Leviathan stuff yet, so now I feel time pressure to do so. Someone will inevitably say I've had more than enough time to play it, but I'm a New Light player and it's been difficult just keeping up with this game as is.
I also don't trust Bungie not to mess this up. Everything in the game is so tied together, I have no idea how removing older locations is going to effect the game as a whole. Won't they have to waste time shuffling around content tied to those locations? Don't you go to those areas in the campaigns? I guess those are removed as well now? It's a lot to think about...

I don't think it's something they would mention now if it's not happening this year.
I think it could happen with The Witch Queen, given that will be the first expansion that launches when next gen consoles are out.
While I don't like the idea of losing that content, it also isn't "content" to the vast majority of players at this point. No one is really going to Titan or Mercury for anything. The only thing it impacts for content people play now are the strikes. That sucks, absolutely, but they explained their reasoning and it's hard to argue.
Exactly! If they started over people could still go back. To catch up if they wanted to. A sequel actually answers their struggles even better...
It's a pretty hard sell, I can't name another game that has done something like this. All the leviathan raids, all the strikes of those locations, it's a pretty huge loss of content.
It's just another obscure system layer being placed upon the player. Bungie likes to make these complex complicated systems that flummox their user base-and then stubbornly stand by those systems. We still have different element gear which is something no one likes but exists just because it's easier for Bungie to make content that people can't build optimized load outs for. Again-these needlessly complex systems and decisions are for Bungie's benefit. Not ours.
They just said on Dr. Lupo stream it will eventually be crossplay with all platforms.
Stupid question, do they plan on updating the graphics and all? Or the same engin up until 2022?
You wouldn't see this shit if Bungie had stayed with Activision, they have no trouble expanding Modern Warfare with 100GB weekly patches. /s
This will bite them in the ass one a competent dev teams decides to do something similar on next gen consoles.
This looks like an overdesigned stupid weapon from a generic JRPG. Love it.
Mystical pizza slicer when, Bungie?
There's no sense in any of it. Finished all raids up to Forsaken. The hours I wasted on LFG to still play with 5 complete strangers, no thank you.
With how strong aim assist Bungie loves in their games I wouldn't be shocked if padders absolutely shit on KBM players in D2 PvP.
Nope. This is how it should be.
And eventually, they'll drop current gen support.
Except it won't. This is similar to comments that are like the destiny killer is game x or game y and they come and go.
Why would they? at this point its world of warcraft Halo and thats how it should be.
Destiny is Destiny, simple as that, they made a huge mistake with D2 in the first place.
That all looked amazing. Vaulting stuff is needed, the games way too bloated and with no D3 coming, they can't just keep adding new stuff. The file size alone would take up half your hard drive. Can't wait to give some of the old D1 raids/strikes a go, so many great memories with those.
What I hate is the idea of "you'll hate playing with randoms."
That's what LFG is. And sometimes it fucking sucks.
But hey, that's how it is.
Have they said anything about FOMO? If i don't play for a few months and miss out on tons of shit when i later return, i have zero reason to boot the game up.
EDIT:
Guess that answers it.

-"Hey guys we know we fucked up with the FOMO, our bad we'll fix this"
-"Hey guys you better get everything you want from vanilla + season pass like the whisper cuz its cycling out"

There is tons of sense to it, matchmaking the raids would make it unbearable. Dungeons should have matchmaking but raids no. Ingame LFG would be good for raids though.
how will the retiring of content effect single player campaign stuff?
If I'm a new Destiny 2 player and I jump in, in September with the new expansion will I be able to play the campaign that launched with destiny 2 in 2017 or is that out the window???

If they did shit on KBM more people would be using controller on PC already. That same aim assist is there if you use that. It's actually is already a problem with 1 gun but that's all I can think of. Referring to the Last word hip fire with controller to be clear.
Not many of those teams around. Anyone that can deliver Bungie like gunplay already has a massive game on the market. That said, I welcome any such games.
