They should go back to rolls for weapons woth different stats.

Agreed. I probably spent 100-200 hours alone chasing certain weapon rolls in D1.

The only thing that has me interested about future improvements is the ranked PvP. But I feel like it’s gonna be a year until that is added and even then i’m Sure it will be fricked up.

I was such a fanboy during Destiny 1. I would've followed that game into hell.

Bought D2 with the highest of hopes and excitement.

Havent played it in at least 3 months. Couldn't be less interested in returning.

I think for a lot of us, we were hopeful for a big improvement but would have been happy for a prettier version of Destiny 1. And they couldn't even pull that off.

Random rolls added a lot of grind time to D1 for sure. Everything felt so much more powerful as well. You felt like you were there to conquer the galaxy. D2 makes you feel like a regular ol dude with a pair of springy boots.

Yep. They took out the space magic of a game based around space magic. They made stuff like the firefly perk completely useless in D2. It does nothing (outside of the sunshot pistol). The guns are all bland and boring.

I got in to D1 after the taken king and enjoyed it immensly. Im hoping that after some later expansions D2 will get the same way, but ill wait for the reports to come in

D1 had a ton of issues before TTK. The issue with D1 was more of just lack on content (though some mechanic issues and loot issues). D2's biggest issue is there is nothing to strive for once you do a strike/mission or anything. Once you get a particular gun, no matter what you do you'll only ever get that exact same gun again.

If y’all can live without the PvP, y’all should try Warframe. This damn game sucked me in recently and I don’t see myself quitting anytime soon. Insane amounts of customization, and the core gameplay loop is extremely fun.

E: it’s also f2p, and you can legitimately play it that way (but I will definitely be spending some money at some point cause the devs deserve it)

I haven't played in two months

Ii don’t play destiny but I thought the general consensus was that the first one sucked and the 2nd was awesome? My roommate has been playing the shite out of 2. I’ve watched him a few times and it looks fun as hell

Not at all.

People did shite on D1 when it first came out. Because it had a lot of things a more casual player would hate.
Short Single player
Non existent story
Grind
Skill Gap in PVP
Best content was gated.
Crazy hype. People like to hate on hyped games.
But the game was really fun for those who liked it and highly addictive. The Taken King also fixed the majority of the problems. And added some, but I won't get into that.

D2 has a major issue in that they catered everything around the casual gamer.
No need to grind loot
No need to grind high light for any reason (PvP or PVE)
Weapons were really dumbed down, especially exotics.
PVP time to kill increased so high that team shooting is a must.
No worthwhile rewards for doing endgame content.
But they did improve the story and the campaign
(Note I have not touched it in 3 months so no idea what has changed.)

I will say this, I did not think D2 was shite, I enjoyed the heck out of it but there is nothing to do once you beat the campaign. Doesn't have the hook from before. But by catering to casuals they killed off the hardcore fans which is what keeps the game popular. Screw up on their part to sale as many copies as they could.

I haven't played in about 2 months. Fortnite has became my addiction.

I was a huge D1 fan, and have been playing D2 consistently up until a few weeks ago and just kinda lost interest. Kinda depressing.
