I know these types of posts get a lot of butthurt replies, but honestly after the hundreds of hours that you all put into this game are you not a little disappointed? I love playing this game, but I'm tired of it feeling like work. It's like everyday I'll get on and just sigh after I pick up my bounties and go back to orbit. Props to bungie for keeping my interest with so little to do, but I'm looking forward to the next big games.
Personally I think the majority of players will decrease significantly after HoW's drops. Many of us bought everything together and really have no choice but to play on. Personally I'll play HoW, do the raid and all that jazz, but after that I will not be preordering anything else from this game. What's the point? As of now I get more enjoyment from these forums than playing the actual game. Sorry if you peeps disagree.
Still crazy how much time I put into this game compared to others in the past.
Edit: I've really loved the replies. Glad I'm not the only one.

Destiny is interesting. Not entirely interesting, but it still entertains me. I will admit my interest has dwindled some with the release of CE:HM, but probably because it is difficult getting a good team together, and the rewards are 'meh'. Hopefully HoW will pull me back in.
-
I started playing borderlands 2 again the other day and found myself thinking "wow I forgot what it was like to play a game that didn't act like it hated you getting good loot more than once a month"
-
The key word in your post is "work"... Once you get to that point the game is over. I'm not there yet. Probably won't be... But, I don't look at Destiny like I do most games. I'm weird.
-
My season pass ends after HoW, if the game continues on its current path I'll be done after that. Especially if "Comet" is expensive.....
-
Yup, yesterday was the first day since 9th September when I could have played it but didn't. I'm afraid the constant grind has just tipped over the edge to repetitive and boring. When HoW drops I'll be back though (for a while).
-
I've started to lose interest as well, even though I've been anticipating this game for two years. I just don't have the will to play it anymore. There's barely anything for me to do now, just doing some bounties. Leveling is pointless, but who knows.

Edited by Husami: 1/25/2015 10:37:40 PMI don't know if there is a word like this in english, but in german we call a feeling like mine "hatelove": I hate the game for - being unfair: ° the creators change the rules during the game - you cannot be sure if your strategy is still useful after the next patch ° RNG doesn't reward the time you invested in the game ° "hard" feels more like "extreme" - and the reason is mere overpower of the enemies instead of creative challenges ° glitches are rather quickly removed - bugs are not - its repetivity (is there a word like this?) - dammit, it indoubtedly IS possible to create way more different bounties! - triggering the addict inside the players (yeah, I know, this can be smiled at, but I am a psychiatrist, and the professional part of me is really a little worried about this fact) - feeling like work if you want to maximize your success - not finally reducing the massive amount of time being wasted in watching endless loading screens which look exactly the same over and over again - even if I just want to transfer one single weapon to another character - a part of its community - too many players take raids too serious. I want to have fun at playing instead of fear of being damned or shouted at if I do a mistake. But I also love this game for - another part of its coummunity - I never would have thought that I could meet so many nice, friendly and interesting people from all over the world in gamechats - its smooth and brilliant gameplay: it is a perfect shooter - its possibility to escape from a world with so many bad News - the chance to feel pride after having reached a difficult goal or having got the weapon you waited for so long (btw: Gjallarhorn ([jalaɹhuːɳ]) still isn't mine after I think over 450 hours... :-( So, it definitely is "hatelove" (in german "Hassliebe"). But to be realistic again: I have a relationship. I have parents who get older. I have friends. I have a hard job. I will have a baby in August. I just CANNOT keep on playing that much as I did until now!!! I should not.

[quote]Tl;Dr found at the bottom. Look how many people deny their addiction and defend the game, knowing damn well the game is designed to play off of the reward system we all have in our brains, even with the simple probability of being rewarded is enough to keep people attached. If anything destiny is an incredible social experiment. Not a good game, not even close. Once you step away for a bit, examine the fundamentals behind the game you'll see its deliberately and psychologically manipulative, designed to keep you playing just to see what's in the next engram. It's Las Vegas in a video game. Except instead of money it's your time. Throw in hundreds of hours, with maybe 20 minutes of those that are actually efficient in getting leveled up. The rest is spent navigating around the time limits that serve no real purpose, the random drops where once in awhile you get something decent only to find out every other player has the same damn item. Bungie has made it clear that this will [b][i]never[/i][/b] be the game they described to us. There will [b][i]never[/i][/b] be an intricate galaxy wide story. There will [b][i]never[/i][/b] be additional areas, as seen from the house of Wolves leaked content. You [b][i]cannot[/i][/b] go where ever your eyes can reach, as purposed by Bungie spokespeople repeatedly. There [b][i]will[/i][/b] be and endless grind resulting in [b][i]nothing of actual relevance, since every other gaurdian in the galaxy has the same damn outfit,cloak, mark etc[/i][/b] Their first dlc was twenty to thirty minutes long, that was the [b][i]same god damn locations just in the opposite direction[/i][/b] the second dlc is more of the same. Tl;Dr,....game blows, destiny can't make an rpg, if you defend the game remember addicts always defend and hate the substance their addicted too. The hamster wheel was the main inspiration behind this game.[/quote]

Things I need before I stop playing: Titan raid helm Warlock raid helm and chest Crux of Crota Then I can say farewell till House of Wolves.
-
Well unfortunately no one cares that you're losing interest if you don't like it simply don't play it
-
-
100's of hours invested and starting to lose interest. Most games give 20 hours and then it's unplayable. You got your money's worth
-
I keep my interest by not playing 40 hours a week anymore. I don't even play every day, so I always have something to do when I log on.
-
Pretty much just reaching max level on my Warlock, and whatever I get I get and that's it. After HoW Hard I'll probably wait until the Comet. As it is now, I'm playing other games solely to get achievements and play new things with friends.
-
Edited by Alpha One: 1/26/2015 5:39:31 PMI feel the same way. It's like nothing you do really matters in game. I know it's just game but it's starting to feel like everything you do i pointless.
-
Same here I love the game ....or at least i used to I am not to sure now. I have over 650+ hours in this game and the thought of possibly having to reset my exotics again is disheartening to say the least. I haven't played this game in 3 days and that's huge for me and I have no reason to go back.
-
Same here. Love the game. I'm not upset about the mechanics or vault space or glitches. I've played this game more than I've played any other in several years. But there isn't enough to keep me coming back. I'm playing the night fall ONLY for a suros, but I don't really care. The weapons and armor I use are all maxed out. I have no need for the following: Bounties Daily Weekly Nightfall VoG Crota Normal I'm learning how to sword carry on my hunter, but that's not really entertaining. It's more insurance against my time if I'm in the "ugh.. I mean, I have used it, but uhhhh, I'm not great at it" raid group. Skyrim gave you story lines and locations to explore after your char was maxed out in the best (home made) armor and weapons. Destiny gives you the same stories to play over and over and over and over again. I get it, Destiny is not Skyrim. I'm only using the parallel to help articulate what Destiny is lacking to keep me engaged.
-
Feel the same...
-
huh after 2 months of grinding for a weapon i need i threw in my towel.
-
agreed. I would have been done a while ago if I hadn't already bought both DLCs
-
Just play when your really really drunk, it adds a whole new dimension to the game.
-
Yeah, the game play and fun with friends is what keeps me playing. After HoW Bungie wont be getting any more of my money. I will move on to the new games coming out. Maybe one will have heart, destiny doesn't. Dying Light, Evolve, The Division, Rainbow Six, Bloodbourne, Star Wars Battlefront 3 all come out this year. So this cash sink of a storyless game will be a memory to me. I hope bungie fails at all future destiny releases so they know they cant pull this sh*t.

Oh yea, My buds and I log in on Tuesday to do the weekly and the nightfall. Then we check in on Friday to see what Xur has. You nailed it with your post. This game has so much potential, just doesn't deliver in the end.
