Destiny 2 Beyond Light Announced + 2021 / 2022 Expansions Revealed
- Thread starter Strakt
- Start date
would Forsaken be the new story content for Destiny 2 New Light then? I'm guessing it would be???
Bungie give and Bungie take. Thanks for giving us your money, now we will take all that content away from you and MAYBE bring it back. Fuck you Bungie. I'm gone.
This is an interesting way to look at it and something I just heard from a friend as well.
She watched the stream and said that it feels like Beyond Light will be a good time to jump in and that it won't feel as overwhelming as it would have.
Considering they're bringing back the Cosmodrome I wouldn't be surprised if they had new players just go through the Earth missions from D1. They mention the Cosmodrome won't be at D1 Parity at launch
Again, I played and finished every raid with randoms, so yes, they are playable with 'matchmaking'.
Yup, there is going to be an end date for current gen sooner than later.
Not at all the same come on. There is a level of curation to LFG that does not exist with matchmaking. Unless Bungie wanted to add a crap load of parameters to it to weed out things like subclass, light level, etc.
Not at all a one to one comparison
They are removing content that almost no one plays with the promise that they will cycle old stuff in and out.
Your response is toxic and childish.
That is just a "Frankenstein monster" version of a game. You have one zone from Vanilla D1. Two zones from Vanilla D2, the Forsaken and Shadowkeep expansions and now Beyond Light.Wowza 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????
The irony of this still being called Destiny 2 while having all content vanilla D2 removed is not lost on me.
I think this many years in addressing things like this is far overdue. I hope they do something! Luke just mentioned that they are reworking face customization right now so that's an example of that. Really hope they do that for LFG/matchmaking and other aspects of the game (elements on armors).
Campaigns are gone too. Say goodbye to Red War, Warmind and Curse of Osiris.
I'm pretty sure Luke just hinted that they might be dropping blues and greens this fall. Anyone else get that from the interview with Lupo?
Totally missed the face customization thing.
I don't want to change my faces but I hope it at least automatically fixes them. All my D1 characters were made ugly in D2.

I got the opposite. Why have rarity colors when after a certain point all you want is purples and gold's? Got to have a purpose to having rarity levels. I think they may reintroduce them but not with this expansion.
Yeah, I think long-time players are pretty blind to how it feels coming in fresh. All the weird quests and mechanics in the dreaming city, the regional things on Mars, even simply stuff like EP, it's just so much for new players to handle on top of the campaigns (which are not exactly straightforward to even begin), and fresh guardians have all of it in their quest logs shortly after they start the game. It feels so disjointed and sloppy, and there's just so much. The game badly needed to be streamlined.
There already is light level gating in the game for some activites, so I don't see a reason why it couldn't be gated to level/loadout.
You played it with people that put in effort to play, if they were matchmaking without restrictions than you would be in here complaining how bad of an experience it was and than what? like come on put some thought into your posts.
Other than Trials (raids), I'm not aware of any content that has been vaulted in Warframe, unless you're counting Prime variants.
Correct. They either will have a separate D2 story F2P game or just scrap it.
MM for high level content is something they've generally seemed to be really stubborn about, so I'm not too confident about it.
Guided Games was a pretty half-assed attempt, given their contemporaries in the MMO space have had this issue solved for literally years.
They're gone.
From their blog:
It's really hard to argue that those campaigns should be kept in the game if it comes at the cost of development of new content.
Hopefully they find a way to bring them back as tech gets better with the next gen consoles but I find it really hard to complain, given that statistic.
That is a massive undertaking when with LFG you just say "need Warlock with divinity; be 1010 or higher". In game LFG is far more agile than matchmaking. I'd rather have that.
They aren't 'random' if you've gone through the extra step of searching for them manually and cherrypicking the most viable option, that's just hilariously stupid to say that it's the same.
Surely you can realize there's a difference between finding a curated group with an advertised purpose and skill level yourself versus having no control whatsoever and ending up with 5 people with a racial slur for a clan name or whatever awful shitty people you could end up lobbying with.
Again, in game LFG is the answer, not matchmaking.
No, played with complete randoms, no curation, only req was the level of raid, first come, first serve, because I have a life I don't want to waste on looking for game hookups.
But I didn't: you've got a pulse? You're in. See above.
He said that wasn't a this year thing. Just a design problem that they were looking into.
Absolutely that is something that should be in the game and I really hope they finally put ingame lfg in.
Ok but again they put effort into it. Which is why an ingame lfg makes sense for raids but matchmaking without restrictions would be a pretty bad experience.
Interview mentioned they are revisiting the character creator. Dunno if that means letting players have a redo or not
Yes, I'm counting what has been vaulted as what has been vaulted. Warframe is a game about grinding and collecting. Cutting off objectively better versions of frames from players with a fomo system is not something I support.
I love how I post something like this for LFG yet 50% of the time I will STILL get either a warlock w/o Divinity or a Hunter/Titan asking if they can still join then cussing me out when I tell them no.
Yeah, it was Rise of Iron.
This is a good way to go about it. Current gen still getting over 2 years of support.
I'm gonna assume this is a fat meme because lmao I'll write a book as a response if it isntHand outs? You want fucking hand-outs? I've dedicated thousands of hours and 3 years of my life to this game and bounties, yet you want HAND OUTS????
C'mon!!!!
They are clearly setting up the story reasons with the Darkness moving in.
It sucks yes, but do you honestly expect a matchmaking system to be as tailored as a LFG request? There are so many variables to account for there is no way for a matchmaking system to appease everyone.
Got to max light level on release and got bored so left it. Now that it has a few expansions and more coming, I'd love to finally get back into it once I've finished a few games in the backlog.
Yeah seriously Europa better be fucking the size of all 5 of those combined. Not to mention better bring back all D1 content then.
But you also complained earlier about "the hours I wasted to play with randoms"... That's exactly why we don't want a completely random matchmaking experience, because it leads to exactly that, an immense waste of time. If you put more effort into the LFG process you wouldn't have wasted as much of your precious life's time, finding the right group is paramount.
