    I wouldn’t mind to see the nightfall/raid/dungeon rotator retired, I know I’ve had my fair share of “Oh I wanna do this raid/dungeon but it’s not in rotation.” and considering HOW MANY raid and dungeons we have it feels like it takes forever.

      I concur, it is a hassle to wait for a specific raid to be the weekly especially if your clan only does one specific raid or you hope to find a good LFG group for that raid! So yeah I'd be all for these rotators to end and everything be farmable but I doubt Bungie will go for that.

      @@derekdumbeck5077 All things considered, Prophecy is one of the older ones. They could have done Pit but that would mean reissuing the Moon weapons too and give them origin traits. It was easier to do Prophecy weapons since they're isolated from the others, though I have no idea why they decided to vault some of them and replace them instead of just adding onto it.

    I think you said it perfectly- “who cares” it’s not spiking numbers… if anything it’s killing numbers when it’s a raid people don’t want/need. No stipulations, open them all up to be farmable, 1 raid and dungeon being focused for double loot would work for enticing ppl into certain content.

      @RedShadowOfSaturn 2 місяці тому +42

      Funny thing is...raids and dungeons are the things most of the playerbase agrees are the "best" content. And those rotate out regularly, or aren't farmable any time. Meanwhile...stuff like patrol zones, which most of the playerbase agrees are pretty banal and boring and not really worth anything...those ARE "farmable" any time, and I put that farmable in quotes, because...have people ever "farmed" patrols? I doubt it.
      You'd think Bungie would do a massive pivot and turn raids/dungeons into THE content that constitutes most of the game, the stuff you can visit constantly, and maybe swap a single patrol zone in every week or a different one per season as a site of importance...
      But no.

      @@atomic_wait To be fair, they have rotators AND "single burst of engagement followed by nothing" already. Watch the Steam peaks and valleys for Destiny 2.
      Season starts, BIG jump...bout a month later or so, massive drop of. New season starts, BIG jump...month and a half later, massive drop off.
      Rotators are not producing good enough sustained players to justify keeping them. It's BETTER for players to have as much content as possible to play, and when they feel like leaving, they can. Keep that door open, and let the players back in when they want to return.
      Does it force the devs to work harder to make interesting content to bring people BACK? Yes. But trying to build content that keeps people 24/7/365 is nearly impossible, and untenable to expect devs to do.

    Actually yeah this brings up a good point. Recently some people have made some new light experience videos like Jez and Shadow. It can be a some frustrating and confusing experience. What doesn’t help is the rotator system. I have a couple of friends who know I play Destiny fairly regularly and are a little interested in it. I would like them to play the game and maybe think about buying some of the expansion so we enjoy more content together. It’s hard to find exciting and cool things though when the one free dungeon is out of rotation meaning we can only really do it once per week especially since they only have one character. They don’t get the finer details of their sole character so trying to introduce one or two more doesn’t make any sense. If they go into pvp they don’t have cool weapons to use because they’re so new. I like the idea of the dungeon/raid rotator. Maybe even a dungeon/raid/nightfall rotator. Just something where we can have fun, farm stuff, and they can learn about how their character works in greater detail without having to wait 6 weeks which suck the air out of the game.
    “Hey how did you like prophecy?”
    “Honestly that was pretty ngl. So what do we do now?”
    “Well it’s not the feature dungeon this week so we can do it again but we won’t get anything from it.”
    “Oh so when can we do it again?”
    “Like 4 weeks from now”
    Actual conversation I had and I could hear the disappointment in him when I said that. Doing nightfalls isn’t going to be that fun as the drop rates in hero are super low and he doesn’t have the light level (or build) for legend or higher. So what the fuck am I supposed to show him?!? Comp?!?

    I agree with the bulk of what is said here, but don't forget that rotators are good for exactly one thing: filling up lobbies.
    With player counts at absolute lows, it can be tough to get a group together. I worry that removing raid rotators entirely would make it more difficult to find groups, especially for things like subclass raid triumphs or master challenges.
    Personally, I would love to see Bungie remove dungeon rotators entirely and make raids rotators feature 2-3 raids at a time.

    Here's an idea;
    The rotator isn't what needs to die, but its effects need to be adjusted. If we want to keep it, all dungeons and raids should always be farmable. However, let the featured activities do something, like double perk rolls, or even double drops like trials/crucible has been experimenting with. Ultimately, if Bungie wants to encourage plays to play a given activity, they just need to put a reward behind it that isn't limiting to the player. If they can do that, or something similar to it, I see no reason to fully retire the rotator, as in concept, it could have potential.

      @@maythomas4591as a solo player it’s nice to know that on certain weeks there will be a bigger pool of people doing certain events. that’s how i farmed RON to get the shotgun. it’s not about the design of the game, it’s that there are so many raids and dungeons to pick from, it thins the player pool. the actual percentage of people that raid isn’t that big. it makes it harder to find a team if they were spread out between all the raids on any given week.

    I do like the pinnacle rotating, and I also like the extra Vanguard points, etc., but I definitely agree that farming weapons should just be available whenever (maybe not exotics though, because they need to feel a bit more exclusive IMO). I think there definitely is a balance between nothing and a rotation of some kind.

    I feel like a very easy compromise would be pairing two dungeons and two raids up each week, so we get two of each. So let’s say Last Wish & Kings Fall raids with Grasp & Ghosts dungeons one week, then Garden & VoG with Shattered Throne & Prophecy the next week etc. That way Bungie get their “weekly refresh” and the player base don’t have to wait as long. Then maybe switch up the pairings with each new episode

    As much as I agree, bungie will never give us them all I don’t think. I think there are a lot of ideas tho for middle ground, having things in rotation for 2 weeks I think would make sense, but one dungeon basically swaps out in the half way point for example, something like:
    Week 1
    Spire & Prophecy
    Week 2
    Prophecy & Shattered Throne
    Week 3
    Shattered Throne & GOTD
    Week 4
    GOTD & Heresy
    So things are in rotation longer, people have more time, and there is still something fresh each week

    I think one thing the rotator helps with is that it concentrates the player pool into one raid and dungeon each week (two if you count the most recent raid and dungeon). It’s really hard to find an LFG group for a raid that isn’t the weekly one and I worry that removing the rotator may make it hard to find groups for the less popular raids and dungeons. I think they should make every raid/dungeon farmable every week but also give you additional spoils of conquest for the weekly one

As far as raids and dungeons go, there too much bloat for a rotator to work efficiently, so there’s absolutely NO reason as to why we should be waiting a month and a half for a desired raid or dungeon to be featured to be available for farming gear or the master mode to hunt down triumphs. Sooner or later, the same problem will happen to the exotic mission rotator as more are added.
    Either remove it or add more raids and dungeons that can be featured in a given week.
