To be fair, I left to help out a friend. Which, in hindsight, was stupid.

Quoted: Quoted: Are you in the Xbox clan or PC clan? Because the answer is yes to both. PC I assume. That's what I play on. ETA - Found it. IM me your discord info and I'll send you an invite. |

If any of you have a moment, please comment on this thread. Destiny is looking into making the game compatible with Linux. This would finally make this game playable on Steam Deck without having your account banned. Even if you don't game on Linux, please comment.

Is there an Xbox discord, or a general arfcom discord channel for D2?

So next Saturday I have the house to myself for a good portion of the day, starting in the morning. I would love to do a Raid or Dungeon. Last Raid I did was Leviathan, when it first came out. Currently a 1579 light Titan. Would love to join a group who is willing to teach/be patient.
Heck, would love to go through a GM Nightfall/Master Ketchcrash too. Anyone up to the challenge? |

Bumping this to keep it from falling into the archives. We're just over a month out from Lightfall.
I have not played any this season. I haven't logged in since like October. I'm feeling kinda blase about Destiny these days. I won't say I'm done with the game, I preordered Lightfall, but at this point I don't know how much more I'm really gonna play. |

I'm in a rut as well. Approaching 4 months without playing which I think is my longest drought ever (maybe Curse of Osiris takes the cake). The current formula isn't working for me with the boring seasonal activity flavor, reskinned or bringing weapons back (seriously Ikelos 3.0?), grind for GM's etc. I played a lot of PVP but with SBMM and super cheap shit it just got awful. I've hopped off the treadmill. Haven't even pre-ordered Lightfall yet. I'll see how that goes before jumping back in.

I checked out the loot for this season and that kinda sealed the deal for me.
Most of the Ikelos weapons and Seraph weapons have returned...again. Rose is a thing now I guess. But I already have several well rolled hand cannons for PVP, I don't need another one. The Trials hand cannon as well, another reskin, another 140, pass. Disparity, the pulse rifle, is Go Figure/Blast Furnace from Forsaken and Black Armory. Destiny has always been about more of the same since day one, barring a few big DLCs like Taken King and Forsaken. I was okay with that for a long time, but it doesn't really trip my trigger anymore. ETA - Also, what was up with the API being broken for like two months? Wtf? I wouldn't even want to play this game without DIM. I see it's back up now but damn. |

Pour one out for Commander Zavala. Lance Reddick passed away today.

Does anyone else in the ARFCOM clan like raiding? I have 2-3 friends in the clan who I play with and we could use 2-3 more for raids to avoid having to use LFG.
Im Silver ww on D2 as well |

I just picked this back up and started playing again. I'm on Xbox and have the Lightfall expansion. I am totally lost on all of the new crafting stuff and million subclasses. Anyways, would love to join up with some of you. My xbox gamertag is drewptwo as well so feel free to shoot me an invite there or provide discord details.
Edit: I found the arfcom clan and sent a request (I think it is the right one). Also if there is a Discord mu UN is Drewptwo#9369 |

Quoted: Just out of curiosity when was the last time you played? Also you have been accepted. View Quote Appreciate it. I played the bejeesus out of destiny one and played solid with the release of destiny 2. Got into it for a konth or so when they changed the format with expansions but didn't have anyone to play with so it wore off quickly. |

Not sure how many xbox players are here anymore...
This season frankly is kind of dead, especially for long time players. Frankly Lightfall was a bit of a dud as a whole. Witch Queen was ok for a while but got boring quick. Shit I haven't even done a raid in a month...there was a time I would have been shivering from withdrawal after a week. Anyway - if there's not a whole lot of response, that's probably why...a lot of long time players are away from the game for a while until Bungie sorts some shit out. |

Well, Bungie just done fucked up. Fired a huge chunk of the company including all of their QA team, Michael Salvatori and the other head of music, and some of every other team including art, sound, design, etc. Final Shape is now June 24 at minimum, Marathon is sometime 2025.
Apparently they're something like -47% under projected profit on Lightfall. Then again, Steam can't hit 35k concurrent players right now. |

View Quote Not surprising...they've been phoning it in the last couple of years if I'm honest. Since 2020/covid, really...they made it pretty clear that they were an "equity/diversity" jobs project and showcased that with every public opportunity, and I'm pretty sure what just happened to them is what happens when you hire people based on "equity" and "diversity" (and I ain't talking about ethnicity) vs hiring people based on skill level. I think I've got maybe 2 hours of playtime in the last month? Probably less, actually. It's just not really fun anymore. Now there's this fucked up "card deck" bullshit, Bungie's solution to difficulty levels has been "just add more champions and strip 30 light levels away from everyone", etc etc etc - rather than puzzles/mechanics, secrets, stuff like that. I could go on a 3 page rant about all their fuckups starting with the dungeon they turned into a raid and then acted surprised when no one likes it as a raid, the dungeon they created that has raid-like boss health pools and then wonder why no one likes it as a dungeon, the fact that basically all the seasons in the last year or two have been utterly identical with regards to the gameplay loop of "do pointless activity that doesn't reward any decent loot, get a piece of lore, see a stupid cutscene, bounce between 3 or 4 vendors to see their cutscenes even though they were ALL IN THE SAME FUCKING ROOM during one of the cutscenes earlier, follow linear straight forward story path with zero twists or turns, end with upbeat yet ambiguous final mission" Meh. They've had years to dig out of this and they didn't, they were too busy making pride emblems. They've earned it at this point. A shame, and I hope The Final Shape is a dramatic reversal for them, but...we'll see. |

I haven't played since April 30. Destiny at its core is the same fucking thing over and over, and for the longest I was okay with that because everything else around the same old shit was pretty good. The crucible was fun, the weapons were cool, exotics were unique, the art and music is always bangin', etc.
I think I finally got tired of doing the same thing over and over though. I also think that Bungie doesn't really know what they want this game to be or what it really is. I think the ten year plan for Destiny was a little optimistic, to me it feels like the game ran out of gas at the 7-8 year mark which is understandable I think. Coming up with new stuff isn't easy. I don't really know what to think or say about the layoffs at Bungie. If what they're saying is true, about the layoffs being due to underwhelming preorders of the Final Shape and low player population, um, man, I dunno. I'm the world's biggest proponent about not preordering shit, that we as a community need to stop encouraging these half baked releases so many developers and publishers are all about these days. That said, and I don't know who all got laid off at Bungie, but I can't believe that the dudes that got the axe for the most part were directly responsible for the current state of the game and the lack of interest in the Final Shape. Reading on Twitter it seems like a lot of lower level guys, like art direction people, animation, music and QA staff were laid off. Like most of these corporate af things, shot callers well above the grunts were the ones that made the decisions that led them to this point, and I'd bet dollars to donuts most of those managers and directors are probably gonna survive this. The way Bungie did this is kinda cringy too, they laid most of those guys off on 30 Oct., which means they get like one day of health insurance coverage before going on Cobra on 1 Nov., they also relinquished Sony stock options they had by being terminated. Not sure how I feel about the whole situation tbh. I'll just say that I think I've got everything I really wanted out of Destiny at this point. I wasn't super interested in the Final Shape before all of this but I was gonna play it since I'm vested in the series and wanted to see the conclusion. Now, my limited interest is gone. I'm good. |

The games got really stale. They did away with the ludicrous level grind every 3 months and replaced it with a delta mechanic that put everything "end game" on level with stuff in The Division for the same shit rewards. Not having to make an arbitrary level go up with RNG drops every season put the lack of actually FUN and engaging content on blast.
When the videos for the upcoming seasonal stuff turns into a "troon of the season" display ( best part of the past few videos have been the freak show they parade out) and a couple of nerds that haven't seen sunlight in the past decade pontificating about how wonderful their math skills are.. that's not good. And the CEO comes out after WQ telling the company that they need to under deliver more.. LOL. They cut 10% which isn't IMO enough. Sony should have went in and fired everyone and everyTHING from the get go and had a team that could come in and run/maintain things while new talent was hired. I'm sure the 3 week long weapon glitch and DDOS attack they sat on their hands for went over well with Sony and tptb too. |

I feel for the people who got the rug pulled out on them. For my part as a solo player and just from the content burn out I play my 8 weeks of seasonal story and I set it down until next season. At this point I wanna see how it ends so I'm sure I'll pick up final shape when they get around to releasing it.
My friend was groaning about how long the next season was going to be and I said. Why? A season is only 8 weeks |
