Topic	Does Bungie not realize how ****ing confusing Destiny 2's expansion model is

To be 100% honest. I don't care if they bring it back updated or forget most of it exists. I know it kinda sucks that new players wouldn't be able to go back and play old stuff, but most new players just want to play the new stuff anyway. Same reason WoW gives level boosts so you can jump right in to the newest expansion. For an evolving game, new stuff is better than supporting old stuff for eternity. I also believe that weapon sunsetting and level caps should've been a thing since day 1 so there's that too. BudDupree48 posted... Sucks you can't get like thunderlord or something but the people who got it enjoy it and you probably have weapons that I haven't been able to get You can still get Thunderlord btw, just not the quest for it. Jerry_Hellyeah posted... I hope this isnt a real thing. Ive tried to stay neutral on Destiny 2 after being pretty clearly butthurt about the lack of transfer from Destiny 1's "ten year plan", but man this would be a stupid decision. It's not about the install size but more about the development cycle, specifically testing. The game is filled with so much spaghetti code and so many different activities and systems that every time they add new stuff they have to test more and more and more and it's gotten past the point where it isn't viable to keep adding forever without removing stuff. That's why there have been so many bugs and glitches over the past year. Also Destiny 1's "ten year plan" was never just Destiny 1 supported for 10 years. It was in their contract with Activision, a game every other year with a "comet" expansion (Taken King/Forsaken) in the interim years going from Destiny 1 to Destiny 5. The "ten year plan" was supporting the franchise for 10 years which Bungie wants to do longer but that involves rotating out old content from time to time. --- From the depths, the thing they called Worm King did rise. Nirn itself did scream in the Mages' and Necromancers' war. <cite>Rikiaz posted [p:944047556] in Does Bungi...
