Still trying to wrap my brain around the idea that someone at Bungie actually thought “Hey! You know what would make this once-a-year activity even more fun? Locked loadouts and 30 second respawn timers!”

I know, I know.

Destiny 2 is better overall than Division 2.

But Division 2 has one thing that Destiny 2 doesn't?

A raid boss that tells you to "GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!"

It just adds a level of satisfaction to kicking his ass. 😜

I love the idea of judging the greatness of artists on their best 3-album run.

Gish-Siamese Dream-Mellon Collie is one of the best runs of the 90s.

What’s the deal with the $70k section? Is that a suite cocaine and hookers?

It’s just ridiculous at this point.

“Updating Altars of Sorrow! With modifiers!”

“New Ops! With modifiers!”

“Bringing back the Dreadnought! With modifiers”

“Try out (insert any new activity from last 4-5 years)! It has modifiers!”

It would be a pleasant surprise if we could just play the game.

@destiny2team.bungie.net

In all seriousness, because I want the game to survive long enough to see Renegades.

Did anyone play Altars of Sorrow before making this?

Did someone say “Altars is good. Just needs modifiers.”? Locked loadouts?!

Is there any PvE content left meant to just be fun?

@destiny2team.bungie.net

Please stop putting GM level modifiers in matchmade activities designed to be fun.

I know “challenge” is what you’ve been tragically leaning into the past few years now. (There’s a reason the Neomuna patrol zone is a ghost town.) Haunted Altars is a huge miss.

More teams in the bottom 10 of the list made the playoffs than the top 10.

Kinda like calling it the “Super Bowl” when the games aren’t usually the great.

In case you were at all curious, here’s an example of the email law firms got. Nothing extraordinary. But historical nonetheless.

Solo Ops Playlist has no realistic way to score above a C.

Fireteam Ops Playlist has the same issue.

Pinnacle Ops can’t realistically be soloed in the time allotted.

Reclaims are bugged and no final rewards drop.

D2 is basically a PvP game now if you want any rewards.

Shohei right now:

If I were criticizing him for NOT hitting a HR off a BP fastball, your question would make more sense.

But it was a 68 mph meatball. Most any player in baseball (majors or minors) could hit that pitch out. Though, to be fair, very few could hit it as far as he did. We’ll see when it lands. 😜

1st one isn’t even worth acknowledging.

3 HRs in the NLCS? Crazy impressive.

Hitting a 3rd HR of the night off a position player in the 9th inning when your team is up by 12 in a meaningless game? Not the slightest bit impressive.

Shame the Brewers probably won’t win their series.

Would have been cool to see a Seattle Mariners vs. (formerly) Seattle Pilots series. 😊

I’m in Miami and have made that argument for decades. 🤣🤣

This is as nitpicky as it gets, I know.

But if the enemy in an activity isn’t Scorn, there shouldn’t be mini screebs.

It makes no sense that they’re there. 🤣🤣🤣

Eric Bird @birdmanenfuego.bsky.social · 7d

Makes sense given how close the 101 is to Dodger Stadium.

Eric Bird @birdmanenfuego.bsky.social · 7d

Expanding on this topic: If your stadium was built with public funding, your games should be on free TV.

I was sitting in my cubicle at the office today. Everything was really quiet.

I yelled “Oh my God! We’re getting Tigger!!” WAY too loud. 🤣

I have 415 hours in Marvel’s Avengers on Xbox. And that doesn’t count my PS5 and Stadia play throughs. Unlocked every character and every ability on those too. 😜

Obviously I don’t think it’s bad. But the rest of the world seemed to hate it. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you! But there’s a better system.

XP-based PL opens up the ENTIRE game. Every activity becomes relevant. Like leveling up the season pass or the artifact. But just make it for the power level! That simple.

More people in Blind Well or on Neomuna! Wellspring would matter!
