More Destiny 2 Progression Complaints

It may be time to consider upsetting users a feature in Destiny 2, as Bungie has once again ticked off players of the shooter sequel with a drop rate adjustment (thanks VG247). An update to this hotfix note acknowledges that in cutting off a progression exploit, they have throttled token drop rates across the board, grinding players' grind to a halt. Word is, "Right now if a player opens more than 2 Chests in a 10 minute period they will not receive additional rewards from Lost Sector chests for 10 minutes. This does not prevent players from completing milestones related to Lost Sector chests." Bungie game director Christopher Barrett explains in a tweet that this was a miscalculation that they will be revisiting:
You shouldn’t, I agree. The timer was meant to fix an exploit but it is way too penalizing right now. It’s being adjusted in the next patch but we likely need to adjust it further.

Bungie, Dice, Blizzard: it's sad when once great developers have become junkies on the corporate teat.

Please, people. Stop giving BUNGIE money. Please, I beg you, you must find the strength to boycott.

Why do people act surprised now? Any remotely informed gamer knew what was coming with the companies involved and their track record. It was clear as day from the start that this would become a boring, shitty grindfest with monetization out da azz.

What the fuck did you guys expect? Buying Destiny 2 and complaining about monetization is like going to a rock concert and complaining about loud music. It's retarded. You got what you signed up for. Now deal with it. It was your own poor choice to buy this piece of shit and it's not like no one warned you.

There were a few stragglers that took a couple weeks longer, but all my Destiny gaming crew dropped this game right around the xpac release.

It was fun while it lasted. The nitpickers are putting the final stake in the heart, this tactics by bungie almost seem trivial, and not even generating them even additional revenue so I don' under stand the motivation for it.

Yeah the group I was playing with have moved on sadly.

So that means I get like 1-2 powerful engram drops per weekly reset per character. Not really worth it any more.

Speaking of online shooters, has anyone else gone back to The Division on PC? I'd like to play some of the team based objectives at some point but none of my personal friends are on the game.

The Division had a pretty massive update not to long ago. Some fun stuff but still more of the same.

There's no excuse. I understand they are giving an excuse, but understand that this excuse is what's called "bullshit", and the person is called a "bullshitter". I'm sure we've all met a bullshitter in our life.

When I make a game, I create a simulation that runs through the entire game and tells me how fast a player can progress.

It's really that simple.

I stopped playing this one after 2 weeks into the game. Aside from the desire to make people repeat the same stupid maps and missions, is the internal comms for the game.

What a bunch of jack asses to create a game that demands multiplayer teamup to progress, and then not provide any in game tools for a clan to communicate with each other. you have to go to the bungie website. They are going out of there way to slow down progress so people will continue to play. I pick the F**K You option, and i stopped all together.
They've got your money already though.

Gee, if there was only some simple way of fixing all these Destiny 2 issues, such as MAKING IT A GAME INSTEAD OF A GIANT FUCKING CASH SUCKING MACHINE.

Who the hell uses in-game chat for anything on PC? Teamspeak, Skype, Vent, Mumble, or now Discord... No offense, but your clan needs to get its shit together.

One thing I cannot understand. It is so unreal to me that if God came down to tell me, in my face, he exists... the following Destiny 2 fact still trumps that:

WHY is nobody complaining about an utter LACK of an LFG system?!

I couldn't get a Leviathan raid group together for the life of me, because I have only 2 Online Friends. I paid 40 bucks for a vanilla game I couldn't play the full content of, for the only reason of me being an adult who put zero effort in befriending people I don't know.

Fuck Destiny. Fuck Bungie. And fuck the weirdest community on Earth: Gamers.

Normally I'd play devil's advocate and say that any change an owner of an online property like Destiny makes is going to be vilified by a vocal minority but in this case nah, not going to do it. Everything Bungie does or is made to do by the vile Activision overlords is done soley to maximize profits at the eververse with its predatory, exploitative, unregulated gambling mechanic loot box economy. So ya know, FUCK 'em. Fuck em right up their cynical greedy soulless corporate asshole. Without lube. With a dildo made of acid and fire.

This one is fucking stupid and I'm not sure why they implemented it in the first place.

It's not hard to come up with mathematically structured, fair rules ahead of time without having to go live with them, so I dunno WTF they are doing over there.

It's like no one discusses what to do until after some random code guy just implements it first ..??... then react to how to fix the 'mistake' ?
