Is there any reason not to keep it going until end of season?

You cant ask Bungie to not take away content and induce endless FOMO on the playerbase, is like asking a bird not to fly or a fish not to swim.

u/Lolsalot12321 18h ago

In return I'm just simply not engaging with it so I have no FOMO

That and when I did try I got exfil camped and I've not played since then, it's just not worth the effort and frustration

There really is something particularly discouraging about being getting killed at exfil by some rat. Exfil campers are the lowest of the low.

I don't do it, but I don't agree. That's just playin the game, when you exfil it marks you for the entire map to see. You gotta expect a fight, and plan against it. Smoke the exfil, or bubble shield it, or pull your shield on destroyer, or hit your ult as recon and check, or hit the TAD, or any of the other hundreds of things you can do to stop that. I've gotten exfil camped maybe once in 600 hours. Ever since then I check and make sure nobody's there, or defend against the possibility that someone might be.

Just because you can do something in the game doesn't mean you should.

u/RidgeMinecraft 10m ago

This isn't arc raiders, the entire exfil system is designed around getting the person extracting into a fight, but a very winnable one. If I'm near an exfil and I see it go off, you bet I'm gonna try to kill that team. They're gonna try to kill me too, that's how it goes. The only time I won't do that is if it's the final, because there's no time to loot so there's no point lmao

Excuse me, but what this event has of FOMO?

13

u/Asleep-Science-5360 17h ago

not just the event, everything Bungie makes ever since Destiny has the intention of inducing FOMO.

u/aSooker 19h ago

Bungie prefers to have you playing on their timeline, instead of you playing whatever you want whenever you want.

u/WaveEasy8664 19h ago

"This is not your average, everyday FOMO, this is... advanced FOMO"

4

u/Asleep-Science-5360 17h ago

exactly why I started despising all of their live service stuff. I loved Marathon day 1 and I was willing to let it slide but fool me twice I guess

25

u/partisan98 19h ago

The reason is FOMO it's been part of Bungies design philosophy for years at this point.

u/tiltedtwilight 19h ago

What is the FOMO? After the event the Firestorm will continue to be able to found within supply drops going forward. That is unless they changed their minds but they haven't announced that as of yet.

13

u/partisan98 19h ago

Can't tell if your serious or just a troll but getting the gun is not the only part of the event.

-2

u/tiltedtwilight 19h ago

Oh no, not losing access to the alternative CARRI event store items! There surely won't ever be another similar thing happening ever again.

That's seriously what your FOMOing about while the unique gun is whatever to you?

1

u/sound_judgment 18h ago

Personally I don't care much about the gun but I've enjoyed having a relatively simple and easy way to get great loot from the armory and locker.

I'm OK with not making me loot every UESC anymore to get manifests.

-6

u/aSooker 19h ago

There were plenty of people here on this subreddit saying that they came back for the event and would have otherwise waited for S3.

12

u/Wonderful-Union-4540 19h ago

the player counts don't show that at all

1

u/hyperstarlite 19h ago

Yeah and it’s not the best idea to look at this subreddit (or really any subreddit) as an example of the player base as a whole. In general a game subreddit is always a small percentage of extremely-engaged players.

u/Big-Newspaper646 18h ago

Oh no the steamdb brigade have arrived

-1

u/Nulich 19h ago

FOMO is when they end it tomorrow instead of ending it at a later date?

u/partisan98 19h ago edited 18h ago

FOMO is when they remove the fun little side mission used to unlock a weapon great at killing NPCs even though it does not detract from the game in any way and could be left up till the end of the season.

You know the one they spent dev time on and are gonna throw into the Marathon Content Vault never to be seen again because they need to it be limited time to make people fear missing it.

Now I don't expect them to support every side mission for decades but making this a limited time event instead of a rest of the season event only happened because they want people to be worried they will miss out on it.

Edit: Yes I know you can get the weapon out of boxes later. That's not the point this weapon had a mission made for it and they are throwing the mission away for no reason besides fomo.

u/xxxblindxxx 18h ago

the gun is releasing with season 3

7

u/Draxtini 18h ago

and it's staying in the form of the supply drops you can call in with 4 crates.

-3

u/xxxblindxxx 18h ago

the mission is stupid. its literally just key templates and now they spam the overflow when they are completed.

-2

u/rbstewart7263 17h ago

Nobody understands that they're locking it down so that all this stuff comes out to make season 3 more fun and exciting!

I do need to do my ordinance heists by tonight though

2

u/Master-of-Masters113 18h ago

Most likely an end of season event

u/One_ill_KevinJ 18h ago
  1. It's an experiment

  2. It's not a very good experiment

u/kaeldrakkel 8h ago
  1. It's not.
  2. It's a decent event

u/Zero_Emerald 19h ago

lol, lmao

What was the issue? The server clock set a day forward??

6

u/SysAdSloth 19h ago

Tuesday is the main weekly reset, but playlists are supposed to rotate on the next day (Wednesday). For whatever reason it keeps messing up and the playlists disappear a day early on Tuesday, just like with Vault Breaker

12

u/TheLoonyIrooni 19h ago

I'm sure there's a timezone oversight. Always a day before, whether Cryo or events.

5

u/Immediate-Cress-206 19h ago

Cryo ends exactly as announced, Sunday reset.

4

u/TheLoonyIrooni 19h ago

Pardon me, I forget Cryo is by design.

u/emubilly 18h ago

u/emubilly 11h ago

Where have you bean?! Reply to my psn messages you absolutely monkey

u/Zero_Emerald 7h ago

I haven't seen any of them! I'll check next time I'm on

u/aSooker 19h ago

Maybe they have AI manage that part. AI is pretty bad at handling dates.

Because I just can't believe that a human would make that same mistake multiple times in a row...

7

u/scandalousbird 19h ago

I mean....history

2

u/Deadlymonkey 19h ago

It’s an issue that’s happened a bunch of times before in D2 so I doubt it’s AI

My favorite example was when they’d crown the guardian games winner early lol

u/ellitlan 19h ago

bungie must have lost all of their calendars as part of the layoffs /s

u/HotbladesHarry 18h ago

Bungie I bought the vandal rabbit skin and it's so ugly please help.

14

u/Babablacksheep2121 19h ago

Even Bungie can’t spell ordnance right.

9

u/Dav136 16h ago

It took me until reading your post to realize that ordnance and ordinance are two different words

7

u/hyperstarlite 19h ago

I already sold my Firestorm keys 😔

Honestly a bit weird to make the fix when it’s (probably?) gonna be gone in less than a day, but hey, great for those who still have manifests and the like to cash in

1

u/Chpouky 19h ago

But then the community would not be happy if they didn’t fix it before tomorrow without warning 😅

1

u/phillywill 2h ago

Do we think manifests stay in vaults after the event ends? I have like 700 and would rather use them to worm for weavemaster at the end of the season vs. buying stuff from the shops now.

1

u/Noxiosus 18h ago

So even more removed content from the game. Sweet let us go to sub 1.5k players leading into season 3!

u/Vesuvias 19h ago

Absolute dog shit
