How the gently caress did they design an in-game mechanic that is the perfect setting for a random level generator AND THEN NOT IMPLEMENT A RANDOM LEVEL GENERATOR!?!?!?!?!

We can’t release more than one new gun with fixed perks and that’s just a reskin of an existing model every month, we are Bungie.

My dumb gay baby dream is, Infinite Forest as a selectable locale on the map, but it opens up another map- D1 world map, and the excuse for all the poo poo existing simultaneously is "lol it's a simulation." Just copy and paste D1 in and blamo, mofos hype.

Just boot up D1 as soon as you enter the infinite forest, or just spitballing here, as soon as you turn on your console.

FOREST because there's so much stuff to do, you'll lose yourself.

INFINITE because it's infinitely better than D2.

You guys be nice. Everyone who works at Bungie quit and Destiny 2 is being entirely handled by 10 very stressed out over-worked interns who sleep on cots in the break room. We need to give them our support.

Its so dumb. This wasn't an issue even in vanilla D1 because of random rolls.

So we have to wait a month to get one or two new guns added into the game... which are just reskins and most of them are outclassed by existing weapons.

Its just the dumbest poo poo ever. What are they even thinking.

So this faction rally is built around what? 1 lovely side arm and whatever the winners weapon is? They loving kidding?

I wonder how much of Destiny's fuckups can be traced back to not having a decent database engineer person.

The problem with adding vault space and new guns and other poo poo was apparently all database issues similar in insanity to Sony in regards to how it's been over a decade and you still can't change a PSN name. No new season 2 guns? No mass shader deletion? No additions to shader/inventory/bank slots? No ability to modify your character's hair/eye color/whatever?

"No, don't gently caress with anything or add any new poo poo as there's a high chance it will completely gently caress everything"

They probably should rewrite large parts of the game that are the problem (pay the technical debt). But doing so is a thankless job that require a special type of person and a special type of boss. Even if they have the right developers, they may lack the right boss. Is essentially debt, like a country debt, generally the person creating debt is everyone friend and anyone trying to fix debt end stepping on too many toes.

When we first got a vault space upgrade (remember how EVERYTHING was on one small page?) they said it was because they found a way of freeing up some RAM - presumably with the old consoles being the bottleneck. Don't really know how that relates to ~databases~

Find a teammate and follow them around, ganging up on you is how enemies are seeming unstoppable.

Make sure you're using an effective gun, there's a fairly short list of ones considered good for PVP and the ones that aren't will feel like shooting nerf darts.

Christopher Barrett: Our new goals for weapon rewards in Faction Rallies should have been broadcast before it returned. I think we could have avoided lots of confusion for players. The Development update was our priority.

Ah yes, the noble goal of having no clue what to do about the CoO/No-CoO player base split and making 15 new weapons last 3 months.

Destiny 3:

You start the game in a infinite green field with a green sky, your character is kind of like the minecraft character, but made of cartoon board.


Steve Jobs appears from a corner. "I am not the real Steve Jobs, I am a copy of steve jobs that the vex did, but I am enough like steve jobs I am a danger to the vex".

The rest of the game is a long escort quest where we help Steve Jobs cross the vex network (a serie of empty rooms) while he stop from time to time to tell about his philosophy and why minimalism is such a good thing.
