  • Same for me, started playing D2 at launch (No console sir wasn’t able to play D1). PvE only, PvP when cheese was possible.

    Loved the game, the story, the great gameplay and shoot/power feeling.

    Stayed in for years but, in indsight I played more and more because I felt I needed to instead of wanted to.

    They started vaulting content with shitty excuses, made the game very hard for new players (best way to kill it long term), added monetisation and FOMO left and right.

    FOMO finally burned me out before lightfall. Didn’t preco and that was the smart thing to do. This extension was simply scandalous: rushed, very poorly written, bad characters (and there wasn’t that much of them). It was hastly put together to be able to push final shape and it felt. Quite there and then.

    On one hand I’m happy I stopped giving money to a Company that clearly didn’t give a fuck to both its players and employees.

    On another hand it’s a shame because the game was good, art direction incredible, story - even if sometime badly narrated and complicated- was deep and great.

    Edit: ah gambit was great, especially with a full team.











  • I’d also argue that Bungie has been making mostly good decisions and adding good features to the game since at least Witch Queen. Hell, they just undid sunsetting which I thought would never happen.

    Well Lightfall was shitty, so no everything isn’t good since witch queen.

    Oh I missed the un-sunseting, I need to look into it.

    I’m pretty pissed off at Sony. I spent years in D2, left when Lightfall landed (game was becoming a chore, filled to the brim with FOMO) and it turned out to be a rushed DLC/content filler added between Witch Queen and… The last DLC I forgot the name of (with part of the witch queen cut-pasted into Lightfall, abominable story/writing, etc…)

    I just started playing and enjoying HD2 and this now…

    Edit: oh yes and I forgot all the content removed and probably a billion other things…

    Shame because the gameplay was fun and the artist were always quite talented and it showed.



  • Same here!

    I had to get rid of the 2nd edition one year ago because of a contact/short issue. :(

    So useful to know who was speaking in mumble/teamspeak when I had only one screen…

    And the shortcut keys were useful at the time (I don’t have much use for them now).

    Edit: I’ve seen the video and yes, I forgot how CLEAR the software was. It was extremely easy to set, set the shortcuts to work as you wanted.

    The current new logitec soft/driver is an utter shit, buggy, extremely confusing (I gave up on trying to setup the backlight how I want it because how stupidly confusing the UI is) and crashing all the time.
