Destiny 3/Live Service thought: introduce scarcity with the possibility of losing loadouts during team wipes, especially exotic weapons and armor Instead of making the first time you get the item you want the end of it (no re-printing from collections, either).

Plus item wear and upkeep with the need for maintenance materials. Otherwise you either use it until it breaks on you or you throw it into the vault for fear of losing it.

D1 art and overall visual design is leagues better than D2 but D2 plays a lot better gameplay wise than D1. I want a game that looks and has the atmosphere of D1 but plays like D2

Andy is a generational talent in the industry. It is madness that he was laid off. Anyone who hires him will immediately be struck by his insight and care for the deepest facets of whatever he works with. I can’t express how much of a privilege it is to just be around his work.

I've been laid off by EA. Let's talk about it. If you're an indie team looking for work with the creator space, I'm happy to help.

Thank you Jason! I was Feature Lead on Warlord's Ruin, and worked on the Jailor encounter. It was a blast, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Jason Wattier@jmwatt3Jun 26
Replying to @cmanprin
It's hard to see the raid and dungeon experience being ever duplicated in another game. Truly the special sauce of Destiny games. The peak moment for me is Warlord's Ruin, coming out of the jail section to the outside area with Inner Light playing. Peak stuff.

Pantheon 2 is the last thing I will have worked on at Bungie. Despite everything it has been an honor to work on Destiny 2. Please know with deep sincerity that we wanted more than anything to make you smile. See you starside, Guardians

It was a huge honor and privilege to spend nearly 12 years helping bring Raids and Dungeons to life. It means so much to me how many of you enjoyed the content, and built lasting bonds with people because of it.

I sincerely thought Bungie was going to be my forever home in this industry. Alas, I'm back on the job market. I'm immensely proud of the work I got to do on Destiny, and the people I got to build an experience of a lifetime with.

Eight years ago we had to layoff half of our team. After more than ten years as the CEO, the only way I could handle it was to add my own name to the top of the list.

Hoping people can bounce back fast. The problem was leadership decisions and enormous cash burn, not the dev talent at the studio

Seeking #destiny2 opinions - For you, what is the emblem that never comes off, and why? Solo dungeons, contest raids, PvP achievements, or just “I love this emblem because it looks cool” all qualify. I’m cooking up something really cool and I need your help! 🖤
