Alright to be honest I've been thinking about a calm and collected way to state my concerns and I think I finally figured it out and mainly there are only a few of them but they're fairly large concerns for a game on the scale of Destiny.
Lack of build variety: I find that in Destiny part of the beauty of the game is being able to choose between perks to make them have synergies with each other. Destiny 2 is effectively killing this with what currently looks forcing us to run 1 of 2 sets of predetermined perks. That's a step backwards in any world just because you go from giving us free reign of our subclass to forcing us to choose how we want to play. What happened to play your way?
Weapon Slots: This is a personal gripe with the way the weapon system has been reconfigured in D2. What is the point of the energy weapon outside of killing supers faster in crucible or using them in possible burn modifiers if those come back. I understand how shields in Destiny work for enemies in PvE but let's be honest it's not like an explosive rounds scout or a grenade of any element exactly had a problem tearing through any shield regardless of elemental weakness. What was the point of basically giving us 2 primaries, removing machine guns, and making shotguns and fusion rifles and snipers the same slot as rocket launchers and grenade launchers? In my opinion this was a small step backwards.
Catering to PvP: I'm sorry ahead of time because this isn't going to make me any friends but it needs to be said. I heavily agree with Datto on this topic. The lack of ability cooldowns, the lack of good weapons in the secondary slot, and my previous complaint of lacking subclass customization. They all feel like they were meant to cater towards PvP. It feels like instead of figuring out a way to balance PvP they just said "gently caress it" and just tried to balance everything around PvP. That's not good game design. This isn't overwatch, CoD, or titanfall. You have PvE content that noone complained about ability spam in. Did Warpriest, Vosik, Golgoroth, and Templar all go to the Bungie forums and cry about snipers being OP and needing to be heavy weapon? No, but crucible players have bitched about getting their heads taken off when they brainlessly walk around a corner that's clearly a sniper lane. Did strike bosses, PoE bosses, and story bosses go to the forums and complain about shotguns shredding their health too fast? No, but crucible players have bitched about them since day 1 being too good with the only acceptable complaint was felwinters lie because when it was introduced nothing except another felwinters could compete with it in the special slot. That changed in HoW however. All your changes to abilities and weapons were based around PvP which isn't the focus of Destiny. Huge step backwards.
I hope this post doesn't just get downvoted into oblivion, but it's my feelings on the current state of how Destiny 2 is looking and honestly I don't even know if it's a worthy sequel at this point. The PvE better be amazing with these new changes because if this game has the same PvP focus it feels like Destiny had since HoW dropped I don't think it's going to last.

You know that street game where the guy puts a shell under a cup, and then rapidly shuffles up the 3 cups, and you have to correctly pick which cup it's under?

Basically that, and after you guess correctly three times in a row, you shoot a big spider robot while he wiggles!

and on top of this one of the other cups has to run and press a button before the guess happens

The thing is, as soon as you get all the patterns down it's totally trivial. I'm not bragging or joking when I say I think we have the thing on Farm already, but it just took a ton of effort to get there.

So the challenge comes from spending 2 hours doing that, instead of being good at shootmans. Not my idea section but whatever.

Someone in our group said the dogs should have an aura like the stealth Crota level from RoI. That would be nice but it might have trivialized it. I'm not sure how they make this section not a slog to figure out/quick breeze to farm and into something fun.


We congealed the same way with baths and getting our rotations timed and establishjng/protecting DPS, but I'd be excited to just play that section again for fun.

ABGD and I raid together and this is totally true. Once we figured out there are only so many spawn orders for the glowy plant things it instantly clicked.

like, the oryx raid was a slog, the strats were pretty drat complex and by the time challenges were a think we were clearing it in, no exaggeration, 45 minutes

I wouldn’t give a gently caress about cosmetic items being microtransactions if they weren’t 90% Of the loot in the game

Like I can’t even comprehend having every single permutation of every single gun in destiny 1. In destiny 2 it took like 4 weeks because they removed random perks.

The game went from being “space wizard Barbie meets borderlands or diablo” to “a treyarch call of duty but in space”

Like there is a regression in virtually every single aspect of the game and it’s become completely and totally clear that Bungie doesn’t know what made destiny 1 fun or good. This was pretty obvious with the state of pvp balance towards the end of d1 but at least then the excuse was “well they’re working on destiny 2”
