6000 hours of gameplay Bungie...

[Warthain]

...and i've never felt so disrespected by a developer, gutting your game to the point of it making no sense story wise, gutting your game even though your costumers spent hundreds of whatever currency we are based on, you are selling us overpriced content and now you dare to gut dungeons from the core experience to sell them for more money, on top of the Eververse which is riddle more and more with cosmetics that should be earned in-game, while you dish out the worse skins i've ever seen in Destiny history, your skins cant even touch the quality of the first destiny.

You should be ashamed, FFXIV has a much older engine, its scale is greater than anything Bungie can pull out of it's ass, they didn't have nearly the budget you had while you were with Activision, and they definetely don't have the budget you currently have with your ever increasing monetization and still they don't dare remove content, you can't even afford to give us dedicated servers, all your money earned should be spent into destiny 2, instead you are funding other projects with the money we pay you, while bullying us into paying more and more for stuff that should be free or included in the expansions... this isn't a free to play game, this is a trial, who said it was right, 80% of your content is locked behind pay walls...

It's sad i was one of the most dedicated veterans, i spent so much money into this once great game, now just pile of trash, i was hoping for better days, but they will never come, you are just to greedy.
Activision was never the problem, it was all you, fanboys can lick your feet but i will never lower myself to defend a company that goes so low as you do, i will hurt you where it should, i will never play this game again, i will never put another dime into this trash which doesn't even afford to give us proper stable servers and proper anti-cheats...
I hope your greediness, was worth losing any moral ground you think you have, exploiting kids desire to play for money, addicting them to a game so you can abuse their lack of common sense, but me i'm not a kid, my wallet from now on stays locked out of your reach, you are soulless and disrepectful and i hope one day it comes to bite you in the ass...

Salutations to all guardians, but darkness has won...

They don't care about story, they care about repetitive content that is so boring that players feel encouraged to buy silver to buy the season levels and so on.

I prefer story over these stupid seasons to be honest.....it is why i bought Destiny 2....the story campaigns....that they thoroughly gutted....stupid morons.

The coming expansion is their last chance for me to be honest, if its just the same old crap....a cutscene and then do 'control' or 'elimination' type modes over and over again, the game will be dead to me.

I played several thousand hours since the release of the original Destiny 2.

It's indeed frustrating.

I think the monetization of those upcoming dungeons is simply not necessary. But it shows in which direction it goes. I wait and see what happens next year with The Witch Queen, then I will decide to continue or not.

I dunno, I played for over a thousand hours (started my Destiny adventure right before Warmind came out) and I moved the ♥♥♥♥ away from Destiny once the effects of the Activision split (Shadowkeep release) became clear because it was immediately obvious its only gonna go downhill from there. Funnily enough I've moved onto exactly FFXIV to fill the multiplayer game hole. Great game. And the sub isn't an issue for me, once Endwalker comes out I'll likely buy and subscribe.

Who are you and why should we care?

[Mister Wiggles]

How tf is FF a fair comparison to Destiny? They are literally in two different genres.

The story is better than its ever been and this year its been really good. If you were arguing with the structure then you'd have a fair point but you're not, you're saying that its been 'gutted'.

You're losing the tangled shore with Witch Queen but gaining a new, fresh area. I dont see the problem. If they removed the dreaming city as well then yeah that would suck but thats not the case, is it?

You've confessed to having a silly amount of play time from the game so you've had more than enough value from the product that you've purchased. However, this isnt an airport man, you don't have to announce your departure, more so you'll be back for Witch Queen and every content update after because you're invested. You just want to vent and you've gone about it all wrong.

Dear diary, today....

Also, saying this "You should be ashamed, FFXIV has a much older engine, its scale is greater than anything Bungie can pull out of it's ass, they didn't have nearly the budget you had while you were with Activision" is hilarious.

Cause yes, the Highest grossing and most successful Final Fantasy game in the entire franchise totally has a smaller budget then Bungie does for Destiny.

Absolutely HILARIOUS!

Because of threads like this, I need to buy more popcorn.

Dude, destiny 2 budget was 500mill just to launch the franchise, marketing, create the platform, tools and engine from which to launch several destiny games. Which means the game actually costed way more to develop than the intial 500mill.
FFXiV total budget was a whooping 400mill which is confirmed, and they actually have dedicated servers even though they had less money to work with.
Heavensward expansion costed a mere 17million to make, and we know forsaken for a fact costed a whole lot more to produce.
FFXiV never got the budget it deserve, until recently, because with the success of shadowbringers due to the migration of WoW players, Square Enix finally aknowledged the sucess of that MMO and decided to give them all budget they need to make the game the best its possible, that will not be shown in Endwalkers because they announced it when we already are near the release date for the expansion, but the bigger budget will definetely show in the expansions after it...

Funny that you state Destiny's Budget, something that has never been stated in any way as Bungie isn't a public company.

Not as funny as you saying FF14 has a small budget despite being the highest grossing game in the entire franchise.

That was absolutely HILARIOUS!

[R A Z E R]

I do agree however to a certain extent that destiny is a bit to monitized.

[jaded]

meh

[TTV.WishingForRivenTentacles]

They have added more story in the past year than in all of Destiny wtf are you talking about?

Your lack of research makes you ignorant not smart, ignorance my friend isn't bliss. Any small search in the internet into these two games budget will give you the data i just showed you, since you cant even do that much and prefer to remain high and mighty, ill leave you on that note, i'm not wasting my time on you since there is no information out there to back your claims... You can either keep on living on your dreamworld hoping not to wake up, or you can get back into the real world and accept facts.
