5. Messages From The Reef

Daniel Escobar: Do you think the improvements coming later (announced on the TWAB) should have been there since D2 launch?

Michael Pelech: Destiny 1 survived a lot of new games coming out. Will Destiny 2 be able to withstand the new game launches?

Will Steffen Talk about the fact that we’re only 2 or so months into the game and our clan is pretty inactive already. I’m sure we all didn’t expect that to happen, Do you think that Bungie and Activision are going to remedy this in the near future?
