But you keep comparing this to Vanilla D1 which is such a cop out. That's like comparing and iPhone that takes away most of the features from the previous iteration amd saying but it has more than the original iPhone and once iOS12 drops in year we can then start comparing it to the the last. You keep comparing this to vanilla Destiny, and until you get passed that, you're going to continually cape for this shell of game just to drop an I told you so in 2019 when the rest of the content gets dropped. I dont want to go through the same experience of waiting for 3 years to fill out content when they figured most of this shyt out a year ago. I don't get why this game gets this luxury when any other game or industry for the matter wouldn't.
These are things that were in the TTK that could've been built upon to add some depth to this game
- Strike Scoring with Leaderboards
- Heroic Mode Strikes
- Strike Specific Loot
- Raid Loot with Raid specific Perks
- Raid Challenges
- Ability to choose what game mode you want to play in PvP
What's the point of doing the raid more than once or twice? What's the point of strikes in their current state? What's the point of doing Trials?
The whole let's dikk tease about what's coming next instead of focusing on what we have now thing that was apparent in the story and in the gameplay and has really getting old at this point. Why not deliver a ground breaking experience to make the consumer demand more?
it's not a cop out and i dont play that 'i told you so' game....as for the comparison to the iphone, that's not a good comparison, and a hell of a reach to try to make a point....the only thing they have in common is that there is a new number after the last one, that's it....
you're comparing d2 to a fully loaded d1 game like they were gonna put all that content into just the base game...that's unrealistic....destiny is showing the mmo part with the continuous adding of content to the world that's been established....thinking d2 was gonna be different was just setting yourself up to be disappointed.....if you didnt want to go along with the journey, you shouldve just waited till they release the edition with all the dlc in it....since you didnt want to wait, you knew what you were getting into...
as for things from ttk that you think shouldve been in the game:
- i agree about strike scoring...
- heroic strikes will probably come along with the hard raid....
- i agree about strike loot...
- i agree about raid gear...will probably come with hard raid too...
- raid challenges didnt come until the hard raid version of a raid was released in d1, i expect the same for d2...
- taking away ability to choose goes against the obvious grand plan bungie/activision has for destiny...they said they were gonna make it more casual, and making it where people just have pick between 2 modes does that...also, it gets people in games a lot faster.....
the point of doing anything in the game more than once is the same as it was for d1: cause you enjoy the experience, are having fun, and want to...completion-ists will do things over and over to get every piece of gear, helpers will do things over and over to help people, trials players will do trials cause they like the experience, and the rest will cause they enjoy playing the game....the same as d1....
yet they did deliver a ground breaking experience to make people want more....they did that with d1, hence why people were wanting d2 so much....also, it shows how fast people play through any new content that's added to the game cause they play for hours upon hours, non-stop.....
i get it, you and others want all the shyt fully loaded d1 had, and more....i do too, but just like a lot of the complaints about what people want in the game, to expect that in the base game of d2 is unrealistic and comes off as entitled...prime ex: people are actually on bungie boards complaining about loot saying shyt like ' i only get 1-2 exotic engrams a day, that's wrong, i should get more'...what the fukk?!?!?!....yall remember from d1 how it was before 3 of coins when it came to exotics, maybe 1-2 per week or so, yet muthafukkas complaining they getting that a day now....
...bungie has given us a lot in the base d2 game..they made improvements, addressed a lot of shyt people complained about in d1, and still made the game fun as hell to play...you may not want to believe it, but they delivered....
you both have the same AVI
