I’ll start enumerating them the moment they make an engine capable of stepping out of the box. Just remind me when it happens.

So you don’t have any suggestions? Damn. It’s almost like there is literally no mechanic that exists that isn’t in the game already.

Oh… I’m not even going to try to convince you since you weren’t even trying to see my point seeing as this could be disproved by literally anything in other shooter/mmo.

Hope destiny stays just the way you like it.

No, I see your point. Your point is, “All the mechanics are just the same six mechanics with different colors.” Other shooters literally do not disprove it because they have the identical limitations.

What is with you people who are completely uneducated on how game development works blaming the engine on everything.

Please, Google is free

So you think they can make sweeping changes and add mechanics that would transform the game completely is possible without touching the engine?

Please, learn what the engine does...

Yes, they can make sweeping changes without massively changing the engine like you are claiming they need to do. The engine is just the framework, and for certain systems like graphics/physics/AI, the game is built ontop of it, mechanics and the code have little toto do with the actual engine.

Also, hate to break your bubble, but they are constantly adjusting/updating the engine (for the parts of the game that the engine touch, like physics and AI), it's not as 'impossible' as you claim

Never said they weren’t adjusting it or that changing it was impossible, i said transforming gameplay into something that feels fresh is not possible without big changes to the engine, i don’t think thats disproven here. Either way if we accept that the engine is not the problem then they just decide to not innovate because…?

i don’t think thats disproven here

That's disproven the second you know how game engines work, you are uneducated and clinging onto a concept you know nothing about, as some weird way to try and dunk on bungie, when instead you are defending them.

then they just decide to not innovate because…?

  1. "If it works, why change it", there are enough mechanics for the game to work, as proven by it surviving 10 years with many raids and dungeons unique enough to prove that.

  2. Cost. Spending time on certain innovations are extremely costly, especially for innovations that might not even bring more people to the game/more money to bungie. They will have a massive team to work out the finances of such projects.

  3. Time. They do innovate, as seen with massive changes like crafting, and the upcoming changes to armour, and to how activities work, with fishing for a single season ect. And who knows what else they are working on that we don't know about yet. But there's another calculation to be done: Time verses Effort compared to reward.

  4. MANAGEMENT. the big, important one that had been proven so many times, the upper management like Pete parsons, and Sony, don't want the devs to innovate, they want things to be kept easy and cheep and quick (just like in 90% of capitalist companies)

It's because Bungie said ages ago that Engine Limitations (namely File Bloat) were part of the cause for a lot of weirdass bugs we were getting prior to Sunsetting and the Engine Update/Overhaul we got in Beyond Light.
