So while we do the whole โ€˜player count for engagementโ€™ dance, I just wanted to throw my Renegades review in and itโ€™s pretty simple:

If you like Destiny, you will like Renegades. The real game is in the endgame where for me, replay value lacks again. The dungeon needs to land big

Renegades good

Yeah the full reset button would be the best thing. We need a new base to build from and maybe Sony will push for that, we can only wait and see

I do think Renegades looks good and excited to play. I just always liked discovery in Destiny so hope thereโ€™s more behind the curtain

So I get the reason why Bungie got previews in but I now feel like Iโ€™ve seen 90% of the DLC. No hate, just think too much was shown but suppose that could be because they need a big advertising campaign for it with current player sentiment

Goal for the weekend is finish this last section of my Arc Raiders expedition so we can go ham on Renegades

Calling it now, this big โ€˜hiddenโ€™ thing within Destiny will be a new element. Not a subclass (yet) but a new weapon type which will eventually become a new subclass

This is all theory by looking at previews, I know nothing extra. I just think it could be โ€˜kineticโ€™ aka Force

Unironically Destiny Renegades looks more like class Destiny than a lot of recent content

Previews looking great

Arc raiders is easily one of the best games Iโ€™ve played in quite some time

Something thatโ€™s really hooked me in

26.11.2025 11:15 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Keeper is a very enjoyable little puzzle game

Great visuals and puzzles that arenโ€™t so deep it causes much stress but actually pushes forward the flow and narrative of the world

A definite โ€˜sit and chillโ€™ game where it keeps you hooked and wanting to explore deeper with each move forward

Renegades / Ash and Iron Livestream notes as is tradition

I think that was really good. Content looked great, direction they are going sounded good and hope it lands

Solid TWID, Bungie needed a W and hope that players will simmer down and see the good things in there

Solid portal changes, good news with featured gear, raid stuff seems on point

04.09.2025 22:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Have to say itโ€™s always been the case with Destiny. The newest thing is almost always is the best way forward

27.08.2025 14:44 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Had the same experience! Sure I did some Solo Ops but I never just thought this was the entire game now. Itโ€™s the path of least resistance, sure but levels come from anywhere in the portal

I think weโ€™re same goal different start points here

I agree chasing gear is a great part of the game and was always worth the grind. I think what theyโ€™ve gone too hard on is making that all about levels rather than beating difficult content. Removing the end game for Lost Sector grinding was bad

24.08.2025 19:29 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

My question to that would be, what are you actually playing? 100% genuine to gauge your experience

Iโ€™ve always been one who focuses on the new, Iโ€™ve played all the old content and itโ€™s now โ€˜doneโ€™ to me. I want the new stuff and thatโ€™s always my focus so with EoF, thatโ€™s T5 gear for context

24.08.2025 19:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

450 light is an extreme example because at that point literally everything is T5, even if you switch to an untouched alt

The level system is 100% not perfect and the endgame non-existent. But my point remains the same, levelling does not take 100s of hours

24.08.2025 18:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Everything lives in the Portal now. Fireteam Ops, Trials, PvP, Solo, Pinnacle

Thatโ€™s literally all Iโ€™ve been doing. Pick the bonus activities each day when I can, focus farm a bonus when that a slot is lacking. Iโ€™ve not focused on optimal levelling, only doing what I can with whatโ€™s there

24.08.2025 18:19 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Please can the community stop with the โ€˜it takes 200 hours to level up!โ€™

It just doesnโ€™t at all. While itโ€™s still not an ideal system, sensationalising everything doesnโ€™t help with the feedback loop

I got to 399 in around 70 hours not playing optimal so it can be faster

Season of Thunderlord babyyyyy

28.07.2025 11:40 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 8    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The more time I spend with EoF the more sense it makes and the Portal has grown on me, it will be a solid addition to the game once itโ€™s filled out more

The pain points are the power deltas and the power grind for me. Itโ€™s confusing and feels punishing for going up

26.07.2025 18:37 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 6    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Whatโ€™s the score with the power levels then? Whatโ€™s the best way for me to level up and get caught right up?

Hit a cool 120 after finishing the campaign
