Maybe I'm misrembering, but SK had like 400k logged in on release and I didn't have to wait nearly as long to get into the game.

Yeah pretty much every prediction and/or fear I had is 100% true. Stasis is Solar, mechanically, no Crucible maps, no new Y1-3 exotic catalysts, etc

Wish I'd been wrong about more but the new planet sure is pretty. Hope the raid is fun!

They should have just released it in September. No new Crucible maps or Y1-3 catalysts is disappointing.

There was a time when Destiny wasn’t about bounties. It was about milestones

Supposedly D1 style weekly bounties are coming next season. Why they couldn't come this season with the delay I have no idea. Small indie dev and all.

In general if you're pissing off the people who take the game the most seriously, you did a good thing.

I don't know why Gladd or Gothalion care about Stasis in PVP. They play PVE 99% of the time anyway.

My biggest complaint with Stasis right now is breaking yourself out of it is assigned to your class ability key and not interact. Mashing V is kinda awkward.

Those Sabotage missions sure love making you do Empire Hunts repeatedly. It definitely feels like there’s some content padding there. At the same time I think making quests for each upgrade is a good idea.

I hope there will be a way to farm Stars in Shadow at some point. It can get up to 101 range and it can get Feeding Frenzy or Outlaw, and Kill Clip. Dragonfly would be nice for PVE, too.

SBMM doesn't give you balanced games, it produces a 50% win rate over your career. This generally results in getting vigorously poo poo on for a few games to get you to 49.9% (because it feels like rank decay is slower than rank ups) then allowing you a completely dominating victory.

It gets more complex when you go in as a fireteam, it feels like it fixates on finding opponents based on the rating of your most skilled party member.

(yes all of this is anecdotal and not backed by science, no one knows how bungie calculates SBMM. but if you watch elo ratings on destinytracker you can get a feel for what's going on)

Team balancing is still questionable at best. I see this with streamers of this game and COD (especially MW2019). Whenever they solo queue, 4-5 of their teammates are negative bottom feeders and the enemy team gets the good players instead of shuffling people around.

So Coriolis Force is currently bugged so Fusion Scavenger gives it eight rounds per brick. Too bad it’s not very good in PVP. You have to get in shotgun range to reliably one shot people. It’s great for PVE, though. I have it with One For All and it takes down groups of enemies with ease.

So if you combine Sturm and Drang with the damage boost from freezing someone, Sturm will one-shot you with a headshot in PVP.

This seasonal event is really underwhelming. You would think the seasonal event tied to the release of a major expansion would be something fun like Vex Invasion or the Menagerie.

I’m thinking Stasis Titans are the best considering their super will always find a wall to slam you into for the one shot. This works against other supers, too. I’m just basing this on my experience in Mayhem. Blade Barrage with Shards still annihilates everything, though.

I made a mistake earlier. I was talking about Vex Offensive, the horde mode seasonal activity. Vex Invasions were just random patrol event. Those were kinda annoying if you got an empty instance.

Sundial was a good activity, too, especially the harder version that came out near the end of the season.

i did get 3 whole lure charges out of it, i guess. i think im a bit undergeared, i dunno, im 1226 power and its a 1220 recommended but my weapons seemed to do absolutely nothing against any enemy. we kept getting hosed up by hydras because there is just no way to burn them down, they were even worse than champions

Did you and your pubbies not have any champion mods? Also the Hydra during the boss fight is a bullet sponge for some reason. Its usually not dead until near the end of the fight.
