    CHECK IN FOR DROPS TOMORROW: / evanf1997
    Sunsetting, it’s a word that makes every destiny player clinch their fists and it’s the one word that will make all eyes jump up in fear they’re about to get smacked. A simple concept, with a long history of damage to the franchise. With a lot of revisions over the years and with the most recent announcement of all weapons being set free from level caps with Bungie actively looking to add all of the sunset weapons back into the pool, we should talk about the Complicated History of Sunsetting, the DCV, and why Destiny’s sunset problem might have been their biggest of ALL TIME!

      I work in government contracts and I wonder if an underlying catalyst was a rights issue with Activision, HM, and VV. The timing of it all made me raise my eyebrows and the only other thing I could think of would have been what server farm they had contracts with before and after the split. If any of this is a contracts issue it will be buried under a pile of NDA's and we'll never know the true reason.

    Christmas. I got Destiny 2 for Christmas. I played Destiny 1 with friends before, and my family knew it was something I liked. I didn't want to buy Destiny 2 for myself because I was in high school and didn't have an income. My parents got Destiny 2 as a gift, and watched me play the Red War campaign Christmas day. They were never interested in my gaming hobby before. Going Lightless to Guardian again was a good memory, and I did it with my family. Later, I fell away from Destiny for Fortnite with friends. Then, I learned Red War was "Sunset." Just a fancy word for deleting something I thought I had on my shelf. I vowed to never return to Destiny because it was no longer something I could share with people I cared about.
    I like to share cool experiences with my younger siblings. I couldn't stand the fomo.
    For some reason, I've never unsubscribed from Destiny creators. I've always loved the world and it's gameplay potential. Following the hype for Final Shape has got me tempted to step back in after years away.
    Evan, I love your content.
    From my perspective, sunsetting is THE reason I never returned to playing Destiny. I kinda expected you to flame Bungie more in this video.
    If you made it this far, thanks for reading my thoughts lol.

      I agree 100% with your thoughts. I went through the same thing.
      Don’t be surprised that evanf and other content creators don’t flame bungie. Most content creators don’t go at bungie because this is their only source of income. They damage control for bungie to try to retain players but half the issues would be solved if people went at bungie the way we did when taken king was announced. They said TK was 60 dollars and everyone thought it was wack especially after two meh expansions that were really dlcs . They lowered the price to 40 . If we held bungie accountable more rather than when it’s cool to do so, we would be in a better place.

      It would still be different. I think instead they should just make the Destiny 1 experience better by doing a PC port, crossplay, and current gen system updates. There's too much content in Destiny 1 that it would take ages for them to remake it into Destiny 2. But an update to the already existing game would be fantastic.

    I still to this day think the DCV could have been completely avoided. Imagine if they took a "Call of duty" style route with it. You wanna play just multiplayer and don't touch zombies? Just don't install zombies. Don't play multiplayer either but like warzone? So only install warzone. Take that concept and apply it too the DLC for Destiny. You beat the Red war, and Forsaken and don't need to play those store lines rn? Uninstall them. Got everything in the leviathan? Unistall it. Want too re-experience Forsaken with a friend? Re-install it. Make it the players choice when they wanna access what they purchased.

    As a D1 player who got the game around the rise of irons release, I remember really getting into the game because of the fact that all the main campaigns were still a part of the game. I had the ability to learn and play through the WHOLE story and grow connected to the characters and plot. Your thoughts on the fact that the story for us vetrans is almost 6 years old, but complelty brand new to new players really opened my eyes when considering how I started this Destiny jorney so long ago. If we don't give new players context for the story, visual and gameplay scenarios that they themselves experience, and build up to later events in the game, Destiny as a franchise loses context, losses meaning, and looses players.

    I'm sorry but people/bungie blaming older consoles for the DCV is a blatant lie and needs to stop. They say it was a storage problem ok well what storage problem because Destiny 2 before DCV happened was around 100GB+ in storage size and for example a PS4 has 500GB internal storage and can have upto 2TB with an external drive. So even if you added the DCV size to the current size of around 112.8GB you would still have lots of room and thats not even taking into account that update override files and don't always add to storage. Bungie just took the cheaper root of removing Old stuff so they wouldn't have to pay for more work. Also many games on PS4 are way larger than Destiny 2.

    The biggest reason and difference between sunsetting in diablo or watcraft… you don’t really USE the weapon. Or as popularly referred to as stat sticks, the player doesn’t actually use the weapons, so the weapon is gonna operate the same no matter what, due to a lack of personal direct control.
    Which is why Destiny has a more extreme extensive response, you are the guardian, you assemble your kit to your specs, control and direct you space magic.
    You pick and choose the weapons that will define you.
    And those weapons can be marked by us for their performance and reliability.

Every raid id hover over would tell me how many downloads that raid has so I can assume if I can get in a fire time quickly or I’ll need to have the patience for. Also old previous content story missions should be shortened or summed up to a couple of missions.

    one of the best videos of the last few months, if not years. I can only confirm everything and you are doing a good job, critical, constructively critical, but never toxic. So much has been packed into the DCV and we're all just coming to terms with it, but that's wrong. Bungie should find technical ways to give purchased content such as DLCs back to anyone who buys it. Seasons are temporary, but you can think about that too. And the worst thing was removing a main campaign in D2, the worst. The speaker dies and so there is deep lore that continues to this day but new players will never understand. That's why the player count will only increase with releases and then immediately decrease because the overall concept is absolute crap.💜

    One huge problem with weapons in Destiny is how the community sees them, most will use what is Meta, which for PvP is understandable, but in PvE, there is no true Meta, you can beat EVERY piece of PvE content with any weapon & any roll, but that's not my point, my point is that weapons in Destiny have a 'feel' that I personally have never experienced in any game outside of Destiny, and that 'feel' can make a total garbage weapon in one person's hands, an absolute monster in someone else's. Sound effects help a lot too, 'Word of Crota' sounds so HEAVY that I can't help but love it.
    People are so worried about "What's Meta" that they won't try anything else, that's one reason I love crafting, I make it a point to use every crafted weapon till it's level 30(personal choice), but as that number is a little crazy high, I'd recommend leveling them till you have access to your desired perks, then using it to whatever level the enhanced version is unlocked at, so you actually get a feel for it, there are some weapons I've learned to really enjoy that I wouldn't have before, my prime example being Subjunctive, the origin trait is okay at best on the other weapons, but on that SMG it's actually kinda nuts, though SMGs DO need a buff in PvE, it only really feels good when 'One for all' is active.

    Last I heard, they actually did a massive Engine overhaul. Plus you got to think of it like this. They probably have newer and better ways to code than they did in the beginning.

    I don’t know why Bungie doesn’t do a weekly rotational system for seasonal activities based on the year.
    Do Black Armory, Reckoning, and the Menagerie for a Forsaken year. And have them rotate once a week. That way it gives players a way to chase for their favorite weapons

  • @Grassdia

    I feel like they could have added a ladder system where certain weapons are capped a certain powers and in order to get further into the power grind you should reach one threshold to access all the other new “unsunset” weapons before they reach their cap “, rinse and repeat.
    Also crafting should just remove enhanced perks

    I honestly think bungie should try implementing a system where you can choose what content is installed, so you could for instance have a red war pack with two parts, the campaign, and the raid. Then players can choose what packs they want and if they want both the campaigns and raids of a pack or both. Obviously weapons, Armour, currencies and so on would stay regardless as well as things like strikes and pvp maps but it would allow players to choose what they want to keep whilst allowing bungie to keep the game small for most players. Heck they could even have packs for things like dares of eternity and seasons. Before anyone says it, I know this is most likely impossible to implement for one reason or another I just believe it would be worth it

    Covid is really when i poured the most time into D2, Lots of us were really figuring out how to navigate how to treat each other properly during the confusion. I'll never forget being able to disconnect from the world for those 2 years. Work, Destiny 2, sleep. It almost felt like i WAS a guardian. As unfortunate that time was for humanity, being the isolationist I am, it created a world I felt comfortable to live in, when the real world wasn't. ps.. funny guns, made me feel like a god, and that was arguably the best weekend of my life.

    Know the truly baffling thing about removing content to "save space"? If you go Out of Bounds, you can find, either in whole or part, various activities. Did you know the Forges are, with the exception of one or two, still in the game and can be reached by going Out of Bounds? Or that there are, to this very day, locations Out of Bounds that have yet to be used, like Galaxy Pools or Iron Forest? And that content from Destiny 1 is for some reason Out of Bounds, like Caydes Stash and D1 Mars? As I told a friend at the time, the DCV wasn't done for the players, but for the Investors. Bungie didn't do it because of Cross, Datto, Evan, or anyone else, at least not directly. Boiled down, in American law it is illegal to make decisions that wouldn't make them money. Because the DCV and Sunsetting would force players to buy more and more content to replace what they lost each season, the DCV and Sunsetting were likely seen as a way to print money for the Investors.
    For Crafting, I think a good way to deal with it is by removing the ability to Enhance perks, and reserve that ability for Adept style weapons. It gives players weapons that are good enough, like Curated rolls were suppose to, that would allow them to go for better weapons. Targeted Redaction is a great starter weapon, but if you want something better you need to get an Igneous Hammer or Exalted Truth and Enhance their perks. Crafting should be a jumping off point to get you geared up for Trials, Raids, Grandmasters, Dungeons, whatever, so we can start farming those weapons. Other issue, some of the best weapons are craftable. The BXR is one of the best Pulses simply because it has a unique frame that no other weapon has. Same goes for the new Mountaintop. We really need more weapons with these frames that CAN'T be crafted, that way people can get their Curated Mountaintop and crafted BXR, have weapons that are "good enough" but want to get better weapons along the way. That's kind of why Bungie gave us Succession and Forbearance again. Give players that little taste of Raid weapons so they feel the need to farm.

    Putting all the weapons back in the pool now makes sense because the game is almost done, they might as well let it all go. Now just bring back all the old levels, strikes, gambit maps, crucible maps, etc. and I might even consider coming back.

    It doesn't help that they NEVER ACTUALLY VAULTED. Maps that were the reason they "had" to vault remained in the game and accessible by oob'ing, so they ate data storage but we lacked the ability to play. And then "sunset" gear was either never sunset (raids) or perma-sunset (seasons) so there was no replayability.

    Sunsetting really was the biggest kick to D2. Not necessarily guns IMO as that has been recovered from. It was really just content and the story.
    Years later, we are still suffering from this as new players now have no way to know what's happening and get invested in the story. Low new player retention on a game this old I feel is practically a death sentence over a long period of time, which then means Bungie needs more microtransaction to make up for it with whoever sticks around.

From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank just outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.
