Many decisions in Destiny frustrate me but nothing, and i mean nothing, drives me more up the wall than the abandonment of the Infinite Forest. A planet sized simulation engine that can replicate reality so accurately it can literally kill you. Poof. Gone.
You could do LITERALLY anything with it and it'd make canonical sense.
Horde mode? "Yeah, we managed to isolate this pocket, and Mithrax and his splicers set the parameters, so go nuts. Also, he simulated some old friends. Say hi to Nokris and Quria for me!"
Rogue-lite? "Yeah, the egg heads in the tower want to know how INFINITE the INFINITE forest is. Sounds like the question answers itself, but whatever. They're paying ya. See how far you can get."
Extraction? " Yeah, this sections pretty unstable. Get in, steal and break what you can, and get out before whatever Mind is watching you brings the whole thing down."
Boss rush? "A couple of the older guardians wanted to see how many gods they could kill in a certain time limit. Gluttons for punishment, if you ask me."
I miss it so fucking much man
