Interesting that you start by writing about what you like, but end with a statement that you wouldn't continue playing if not for your friends and clan mates. I'm guessing that, in between those two statements are details on the screwings and bending-overs that you and I and the rest of the Year Wunners have put up with? I know there are certainly things that I'd like to change, and some of them have started becoming an issue that's affecting my enjoyment of the game, but in the end, as you wrote, I still play this game. I play it with my Father in law, I play it with my daughter, and I play it with people around the world, most of whom I know only by their gamer tag. Certainly, playing with a fireteam is more fun, but I'm happy even going out solo to end the existence of so many alien bad guys. I just erased my Hunter and started over because I love the missions and I love ramping up a character. I like opening engrams and hoping it's something that's better than what I have, instead of just opening it and breaking it down without thought of what it is besides a blue engram. In a word, the game is excellent, with some issues. I think my favourite part of the Destiny universe is that I keep finding rooms and caves and other areas that I've never seen before, despite hundreds of hours of game play. It's frickin HUGE! The thing I miss is being terrified of what's around the next corner. I remember bringing up my first character and walking everywhere because I didn't know where the enemies were. I remember being freaked out by weird noises and red blips on my tracker. I miss that feeling. And I think that's what I'm really looking forward to in the Taken King. To be honest, I think exploring a massive, new environment, having to discover everything, not knowing what's waiting around the next corner, is what we all need to get back into the fun frame of mind that we had when we first discovered Destiny. And with all the changes that are (apparently and mysteriously) coming, I like to think of Year Two as a somewhat new game, in a familiar world, instead of the same game with changes that make it "wrong" somehow. Because, despite all the changes that have happened over the last year, we still play the game, and we still love it.
