I understand everyone wants clout and clicks - but seriously, shut your mouth for a little while longer.

Once the final patches/updates go live, then share any cheese bugs that benefit the players. Be smart, for once.

The results speak for themselves - this weekend will see a huge bump of players wanting to get in Trials and get rewarded for their time. Thank you Bungie for listening to your player-base and making Trials for everyone. Now, PvP can be enjoyed and Trials can be something for everyone to chase. GGS.

This last weekend had a population of only 119K players. In December of 2022, (December 2nd - December 6th), the population was 110K. Since then, the weekly participation has always been higher than 119K.

Trials is losing players at an astounding rate and needs changes quickly before they lose players for good.

What can save this sweaty, near worthless playlist?

Not necessarily trying to debate too much the good vs bad of this pure hypothetical scenario (which is based on only speculation), but of all the old discussion around the exotic class item, this could make some people really dig into their feelings. No matter what we find out tomorrow... let's try to be nice when it comes to the feedback.

I waited a couple of days to make sure the data came in for Steam. So far, 2k23 opening weekend was 24,955 players. 2k24 opening weekend is at its peak 11,552.

2K is bleeding in the numbers, the reviews, and the gameplay.

Edit: This is YoY (last year vs this year).

I thought Fire-team sized matchmaking was a thing in Clash, but I guess not?? I blocked this player before for being toxic and homophobic, but now I have to play against them stacked in Quickplay?

Bungie... what are you doing???? If there are not enough players, then let me wait for a more even match.

I really want scottie pippen, but I can no longer do Domination (completed the 33 wins). Is there any mode I can play for xp, regardless if I win in that mode, for MyTeam to supplement the weekly/daily challenges? I am worried that I do not have enough XP.... Right now I am grinding MyTeam currency to buy players to complete their challenges (and get tokens to buy players to complete team challenges).

• Slowdown of every new weapon video coming out on their channels? (check)
• Blaming their performance on SBMM, and stacking to avoid SBMM? (check)
• Leaving lobbies themselves when performing poorly? (check)
• Doing more low man raids and other PVE focused content instead of PvP? (check)
• Creating new characters and using alts for PVP (check)
• Directing some frustration at the casual base for wanting matches fair for everyone (debatable, but check)

I am not trying to villainize anyone, as I know the high end pvp players are not playing "ideal" matches for their skill all the time. I get that, and Bungie is still adjusting. But... it IS amusing to see some frustration PVP mains have had w

Played freelance casually today, and holy cow, never had so many players absolutely lose their shit if we get stomped. This princess screaming in the picture, for example, has worse stats than I do! Freelance can be a crapshoot - some matches we are likely to lose. If someone is so salty in freelance, go find some friends and team up.

Yes, I want flawless, and have gone to the lighthouse many times. Does not give me or anyone a reason to flip out if we are outmatched in freelance. Slow your roll, princess.
SLOW. YOUR. ROLL.

Disclaimer: I am not saying racism, oppression, bad behavior, etc. was good, was needed, or should even be considered. It is wrong and has no place in our society. This is an attempt to understand the WHY Bungie was worried about the direction of the narrative team back in Curse of Osiris.

Context: 4 years ago, on December 5th, 2017, Curse of Osiris was released. Among many things that frustrated players, was the tone and direction of Destiny 2's storytelling. One of the many complaints from this subreddit, 4 years ago:

The nerf is fine (although a little steep)- it seems perhaps people just do not want to work as hard for their FL kills or people here are not pvp mains.

Eyes have seen and ears have heard, indisputably, that it can still be useful. What say you now?
