I think everyone is ignoring something about the endgame content...
I think everyone has latched on to one thing that was said in the article done by IGN. So you can't have matchmaking for raids. Has that made you so mad that you missed everything else?
The article/video mentions several other things. For example, nightfall missions. I haven't seen a single post on the forums about the nightfall missions. Are they strikes? Easier raids? They sound interesting and even more important are updated daily and weekly.
Daily story chapters were mentioned in the video as well. Worried about a short story campaign? Well you might not need to. (If they turn into Spartan Ops, then I will be very disappointed)
The point is that there is so much more to this game than we previously thought. We, at least I, haven't heard anything about nightfall or daily story missions. Bungie has also made it clear that this game will be continuously supported with more than just updated challenges and bounties. All of you people are complaining about one thing, possibly big or little depending on who you are, and are ignoring so many good things. So before you cancel your preorder at least look at the whole picture. I'm just in need of some sanity on these forums.
So please share your ideas on what raids, nightfall missions, and daily story chapters could possibly contain. (preferably without any whining and complaining, you people are older than that.)
tl;dr There's more to the video than no matchmaking for raids. Pay attention and you might see something you like.

9 RepliesExcept for the Raid, all of them seem like they will be nothing more than shoot this or that and collect this or that. Maybe a wee bit of narrative here and there. The whole point of Destiny seems to be to get enough reputation points and marks or what ever else in trade to be able to get the end game gear needed to play the Raid at the end. That is the end all to be all and it seems like we will have to buy the game and play it to understand it. Hope they don't say much more on it and keep a mystery to it. No matter they call the rest of the stuff, it sounds like it will all basically play the same. Basically shoot everything in sight. Get some loot and xp and Vanguard related points and marks to get to the point so you can do the Raid. Sounds like many will need to join a clan to do the Raid. I watched the video and read the print and so far, that is how the whole picture looks to me. Lots and lots of repetitious play against weak AI, more so than I have seen in any other shooter. They change the scenery and might call something a nightfall mission but it's basically it still comes across as shoot anything that is standing in front of you and collect loot. Nothing much else to do. Hoping the daily story missions might be a nice replacement for the Grimoire cards to start filling things in about the overall story for Destiny. That seemed like a good thing.
