Of course it was. They didn’t have any competitive storefront to actually move the user base to another platform. I think it just shrunk it. Not even a migration path for all friends you had.

Destiny 2’s migration from battle.net to Steam on the other hand …

As someone who never played Destiny, how did that go?

Wow. That is horrific. Also, nice username. Shame KSP2 turned out to be a royal fucking disaster. I'll be bitter about that for the rest of eternity, barring a miracle.

what happened to it? Finally got the first one on epic but haven't had time to dive in yet

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You are going to be mega confused. The whole story from d1 is unplayable (kinda expected I guess since new game) but all the years leading up to current story is not playable. So it is going to throw you in the middle of a story that's been going on for something close to 10 years and not tell you anything and all those guns and seasonal content you will never be able to play or really have a chance to earn. And honestly worst time to play they have not added anything good or new to the game for years. No new modes or anything let's just play strikes and the most unfun pvp experience you have ever tried. Just a little rant :).

Bro, imagine my disappointment when I jumped back into D2 after years at the behest of friends and was immediately thrust into a story that made no sense, told I needed to go back and grind old content to unlock an entire skill tree, and worst of all.... those bastards removed The Farm.

are you talking about destiny? I thought we were talking about Kerbal Space Program

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

apologies I think I responded to the wrong thread somehow lmao yea talking about d2.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lol all good. I just appreciate that people actually want to have discussion on here. You think D2 isn't worth playing this late into it then? Been thinking about it lately since I was having some nostalgia for when D1 first released and I haven't played it since release year.

Honestly no. If you played year one only thing that has changed or added to change any form of gameplay loop is more fomo in form of seasonal content (you can no longer go back and grind past craftable weapons easily), only game mode added was gambit (I think), new dungeons and raids are great as always besides most recent raid wast mostly bad imo, and now with events such as solstice (summer event going on next week) I s just a boring grind fest for no look and having to pay really money for all cool cosmetics. So if you want to get back into it and play the new raids and dungeons I say go for it. But if you play for story or rpg elements or pvp skip. There lack on innovation in new gameplay mechanics or game modes is frustrating to me. I recently bought division 2 because I played the first and did not play the second and there onboarding is so much better and have a wide variety of new gameplay modes way past destiny and there gpg//build crafting is much better.

Edit: Oh and you don't have to weild double primary in destiny I think that changed after y1

For me it went smoothly.

I wonder what the Ubisoft documents say...

L'annulation de Duel of Champions a été un échec.

You don't say?

Won't stop them from moving everything exclusively to Microsoft Store once they have everything Activision Blizzard, Bethesda (including Arcane and id), Halo, and Minecraft under their roof. Microsoft is a convicted monopolist who tries the same old tactics over and over again.
