Deactivated the XP system with immediate effect
https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/46494Incredibly disingenuous message there - if you’re that concerned about equalising XP players earn for different activities actual scale the numbers - not make the UI lie to people

So they got caught using a shitty system that basically lied to players about how much XP they were getting to get them to play longer and now they're changing it

At least they fixed it rather than try to justify it.
Just started playing on PC. It looks lovely, and is super detailed, but there's absolutely zero interaction with the environment, so it's essentially just a series of pretty, but completely empty, corridors. So far, at least. Also, the game forces you into opening cinematic, character creation and the opening level, before you can play with any settings more advanced than resolution.

The clan engrams have been a huge help, BTW, so thanks for that.
I've still never done a Nightfall or even attempted the Raid - my mates have kinda deserted me a little, mainly owing to my inability to be on regularly.
So here I am, cap in hand, wondering if, and when, people would be able to maybe do the Raid? I think I need to be dragged through it by better (sympathetic) players a bit.
When are you guys usually playing and are you ever short of a player at all?
Yeah, you're welcoming to join with us and I am sure a few of us are happy to help you out with what you need. Basically, I've done almost everything except the Raid.

It's some shady ass gooseberry fool. EA level gooseberry fool. Deliberately lying to the player to guide them towards microtransactions. And they straight up admitted it
Games in 2017. Urgh.

I hadn't realised clans were cross platform, but I've joined the GRcade clan now. I assume there's no cross platform play, though?

Turned off throttle so the numbers the UI showed as XP were accurate and people received the XP they were told they did
Doubled XP needed to level up...

That new super long public event is really going to be a great place to grind XP now.
Did they fix the exploit that let people fast travel from a finished public event and get put into another public event in progress in the same area immediately?

It seems to be.
Previously you got XP between 100% and 4% of what you were told you earnt.
But it seems, on average, it was more than 50% - the throttle always too a while to kick in, so at least some was 100%.
So now they've made it (honestly display and take) longer for everyone to get a Brengram....unless you pay cash
Seriously I'd love to know who the hell is paying for Brengrams.

Only by doubling the XP required to level up

They've cancelled the final DLC stream this week
https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/239336750Hey, there.
Tomorrow, we had planned to conduct the final stream prior to the launch of “Curse of Osiris” to show off some of the weapons and armor the expansion includes. Instead, we are investing all our efforts into delivering some higher priority information about Destiny 2. You’ll hear from studio leadership about their assessment of Destiny all up, they’ll talk about our goals for the game going forward, and you’ll also learn about how we’re reacting to your feedback with some game updates that will arrive in the next few weeks.
That will appear on the Bungie Blog on Wednesday.
Thank you,
DeeJ
Shambles.

I don't expect them to change anything in time for the DLC on the way but I hope they can take some of the advice they're getting from all sides for the next DLC or whatever comes after that.
This game has potential and it would be a shame to see it stagnate.

Blog up
https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/46504Nothing in grenades/supers and feeling underpowered (masterworks will Grant orbs I suppose) - or the general pointlessness of power
When ‘players will no longer get caught by anti farming tools doing maps we sell them’ is a big feature....eesh.
Meh I think In the end. Nothing to make endgame more enjoyable - just better ways to get boring loot from it.

Summary: adding a bunch of stuff back in from D1 that they cut from D2.

Players "We don't like playing unsatisfying gameplay for RNG chances at boring loot"
Bungo "Now you can buy the loot!"

It does seem they are rather missing the point of the complaints.
We don't want more loot, we want stuff to do as an endgame unless go and play something else is the endgame after all.
