This game is so critically underrated and is so deserving of a sequel.

Unfortunately, that something else is The Portal, soooo....

.....there's still work to be done.

I'll give credit where credit is due: it wasn't perfect, but it was a new way of progressing.

It didn't land as they had hoped, so they are trying something else.

Last night I finally took my Titan into the Final Shape campaign. One thing that I did notice, that didn't get enough credit, is that the old Pathfinder system is gone.

This is great. I'm really hoping that the game can survive long enough so that we can see these stories take shape and mature!

Glad that I'm engaging more on BlueSky. My feed isn't utterly saturated with complete nonsense and AI Slop.

I do need more friends on here, but that will come 👍

Oh, the ham fisted cheese that they passed off as dialogue back in the mid 80s....

Saw that the Black Cauldron was on Disney Plus. Never actually watched the movie, but played the game on the family computer WAAAY back in the day.

So, currently making the boys watch it while trying desperately to remember game segments

They really need to start offering legacy content for free moving forward. The new light experience doesn't give enough context, and blocking what story is still available is absolutely crippling to learning about the world

I mean....maybe? It would have to start collapsing lots of story threads years in advance, resist the urge to start new ones, and end on a note of "hope for the future"

Can a live service game ever have a satisfying conclusion? | Opinion

Destiny 2 gave a satisfying ending to ten years of narrative – and now player numbers are cratering. The lessons to be learned bode ill for storytelling

Not gonna lie, having that vanguard chest of 300 gear was nice to get me into Master level portal content. Basically completed my guardian rank within 30min after that!

1. Doubt it. It will probably be lumped into the other "Exotic Missions" under Pinnacle Ops.

2. Meh, not sure?

HOWEVER, the normal mode of the mission is stupidly easy. Just go in and bang it out real quick and be done. Worry about the intrinsics and catalysts later.

It feels like such a small step in the right direction, but I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to abandon a mechanic/currency so quickly.

Still, holding on to it would have been a master class in "Sunk Cost Fallacy", so good on you for dropping it!

I sure hope so. Seems like a lot of us are making our peace with a potential end, but I really like the potential with Lodi as a character.

We shall see.

Update regarding Unstable Cores:

Last week, we announced that Unstable Cores would not reset with the launch of Destiny 2: Renegades on December 2, 2025. We noted in the TWID that we would provide future updates on how we would rebalance the economy of this currency.
