It helps too Brooks that you're new to Destiny. Most of us have been following this up and down trend for years now. Personally, I've not yet uninstalled but I have no desire to play the game in it's current state. There is no doubting the gameplay is second to none however the entire point of the game for me is moot. Growing in power means nothing, new weapons are pointless - I've been using the same weapons for years now. Weapon investment needs to be a thing again. They had this idea more or less nailed in Destiny year 1 with weapons growing more powerful and unlocking upgrades as you used them. 

... I'd half a mind to go into a lot of detail there, like I've done before but you now what I can't be arsed. I don't think this game really deserves it any more. The community has been giving feedback for years and yet here we are, again, treading old ground. 

Destiny, and the team at large really need to put to action the sentiments present in Luke Smith's recent Director's Cut - sooner rather than later.

Bung are now set to nerf reload perks because [answers on a fucking postcard].

Well, no one is. And making the best perks less attractive isn't going to help. Other choices aren't viable because of the wider game design.

It's like the sniper nerf the other week - hmm, lots of people using snipes, must be overtuned? Nope, all your endgame content encounter design basically only happens/works at long range, duhhhh.

To make playing the encounter in spite of these structural realities possible, you have to massively buff the equipment that doesn't fit the prescription. They aren't doing this, so wtf.

I mean they mention Drop Mag having no major downsides except the fact you can't reload half a mag without wasting half a mag. I can only imagine they mean "in PvP" where primary ammo isn't a consideration.

New season due in a day and fuck all in the way of pre-release material. I genuinely appreciate this.

Nevertheless

Someone mentioned something beautiful area recently the most beautiful, can’t remember who it was, where was it again?

Yep! Which expansion is that in?

I’ve not played ANY of the DLC.

Forsaken

Edit fluff

Christ they're getting rid of all of them??? Cosmodrome actually might be enough to drag me back to this again, but I doubt it'll be for long if we're still murdering the same old enemies...

Wait they're doing what?

Savathun's Song, gone.  The fucking Whisper Mission!  No way they're gonna delete that, right?

The Destiny Content Vault:

"Content that goes into the Destiny Content Vault may return in the future, altered (if necessary) to fit the new state of the universe. Furthermore, we consider all Destiny 1 and 2 destinations and activities part of the new DCV and we’re going to be pulling from that archive – revisiting some of the most interesting places in Destiny’s history – from now onwards. It’s why the original Destiny 1 Raid – the Vault of Glass – will be returning to Destiny 2 in Year 4."

I'm just going to ignore all that shit for a couple days but losing level design is a big fucking no-no for me.

From what I took from it, it means that in a year, they might decide to bin off Nessus, and re-introduce Mars, and bin the Dreaming City, but bring back something of comparable size like the Leviathan.  

So nothing's going "forever," but it won't be accessible, it won't be updated, and it won't influence the live game.
