If they ever do a D3 or a Destiny rewrite in the future I want them to go back to their previous artwork design from D1 it had alot darker tone to it and you felt the weight that they was in a apocalyptic world a Dark Sci-fi fantasy while D2 just feels just feels like a Sci-fi Fantasy

The problem is Bungie as a team has alienated a large portion of the players. From not fixing bugs to cheap AI written storytelling. D3 would have worked. Now I struggle to see the talent with creative drive to give us a coherent and enjoyable story and more importantly improvements to gameplay. Keep telling myself it has to improve. Paid in full for season. But my hope is quickly turning bitter.

Amen. This reset nonsense is just that. They said we aren't getting D3. So when the rest of the community wants to wake up and say what they would like to see in D2, maybe we can come up with interesting stuff we'd like to see.

Do you even know what you’re saying “Stick with Destiny 2” We’ve been fed the same boring events since launch (Well no, they’ve actually gotten much worse) The same guns based off of green and blue weapons for years now with perks that barely changed/do anything Armor sets that are absolutely horrible looking, few examples are the seasonal sets and the new raid set (yikes) Having seals instead of rewards that benefit your gameplay The worst and I mean the absolute worst “cash shop” I’ve seen , how can a company with so many employees and such budgets design SUCH UGLY ornaments. I know everything is a taste but bungie has no taste, D1 had cool armor sets and D2 is what I feel like and has been just trying random -blam!- out to see if it scores. Also endless waves of sparrows noone gives a -blam!- about. The only thing worthwhile are the weapon ornaments but those aren’t special either as they release for bright dust a few weeks later The same strikes for years ; we have a so called endgame and it’s gm’s, master raids and expert versions of things. This is no endgame, it’s the same -blam!- but slightly harder with guaranteed adept loot. Adept loot that besides the name offers almost nothing extra compared to normal loot. Which brings me to my next point The whole game is about achievements, bragging. Its not about collecting cool guns from a real endgame grind, no, this is a dad rifle simulator with the HEAVIEST aim assist of any shooter on the market. You think its honorable to have went flawless so many times on roller with a stacked team and meta loadout? Bros be hitting headshots while aiming 2 meters next to heads. Or that you learned the mechanics to a raid which takes about 30 minutes and can now run said raid? People here think that’s so special. There is 0 skill involved in the actual gunplay. There is nothing hard about Destiny 2, it’s all a big checklist to mark off that costs huge amounts of time. Then the guns, or again, while they’re mostly based off of green guns they also do the exact same damage green guns do. Except for exotics they do 40% more… to redbars!!! Innovation!!!! I could go on and on, but this whole game looks and feels so good while everything above just ruins it completely. It’s as if they went to Bungie *puts on tinfoil hat* and said “guys, this stuff is too good, make it so that its a huge meaningless unrewarding grind. Let them not be truly happy. All loot must be mediocre and mediocre looking”

I feel like if there ever is a d3, it needs to be completely separated from where destiny is currently. Have be outside the solar system with new characters and new gear. As you said, no one wants to essentially reearn everything they already had, so unless it was completely disconnected from d1 and d2 aside from some minor parts, it probably wouldn't either work well or even generate anyone wanting to pre-order it to play it. They should also make it have some form of time skip from where the last episode they do ends. And having it made with all new characters, both npc and player, they would not only need to write new stories for the npcs, but they could also introduce both new player character races and/or new abilities and classes. I also think leaning more into MMO rpg character building would benefit it more, too.

bungie and sony have already stated there's not going to be a destiny 3

My brain says a hard reset is totally the answer. Lol

"If they were to drip-feed (stay with me) us quality (stay with me) content over an extended period of time, it could give them the time they need to fully address some of the more pressing issues" Is this not what they are currently attempting to do? lol

I don't even understand why this is something we're talking about. B never suggested D3 was in the making. On the contrary.

For a long term player it isn’t the perfect solution, but it’s the inevitable path forward for this franchise. If Marathon somehow manages to become a financial success I’d expect the lessened pressure on Destiny to keep Bungie afloat might motivate them to start development. Why you might ask? The Destiny player base is stagnant and players are leaving for one reason or another with few new additions. They can smooth onboarding as much as they like, but that’s a very hard sell to the wider public. A new game however gets better eyes and would attract interest from people who’ve never played Destiny before.

Currently my "hard reset" is to play other games. I want a D3 but not if it's released by Bungie, at least not the Bungie as it is today and has been for the last 10 years. The next step from Sony is more likely a Destiny TV show or Movie. Hopefully a Destiny mini-series that's good enough to get people to want to play a game in the Destiny universe again. Too many current D2 players don't realize just how toxic the Bungie/Destiny brand is to many gamers. Millions of bridges have been burned and word of mouth is highly negative. Ideally, I'd like to see a new studio formed by Sony get a crack at D3 in a couple of years. Once Bungie is nothing but a bad memory.

No offense, but it's naive to wish for Destiny 3, because Bungie can't even more hold 2 together, with a player decrease of almost 70%. They outlined their plans for future content - which will be like "Into the Light", but not even with a storyline. There will be no more major expansions, for incalculable time, like they did with The Final Shape and before. Bungie had trouble for years, and now Sony did a takeover, and removed their autonomy of decision. You just have to Google to see what's going on. Everything else is "make a wish".
