The wait is too long.

Listen, I've played a fair amount of destiny. A fair amount. My friend has played even more, much, much more than I have.(literally doubling everyone's playtime within the group, and some of us have been in the game since alpha). So today he quit. You wanna know why? PoE. Eyup. POE. Qodok or whatever his name is, has finally broken him. The boss is doable, don't get me wrong. But my friend is just tired of playing week after week and passing everyone's playtime but never having a gjallihorn. Same story you heard a billion times. But in the end, that's what did it. He couldn't stand having to put in [i]so much more[/i] effort, literally hours more per raid, just because someone got a specific gun that makes the game two difficulty settings lower. Me. I'm in the same boat. I can't stick with this game knowing that I'm having to put more effort, a lot more, just because bungie made this game's rng wack and removed gjal from xur. ======================================================================== It's frustrating to play this game knowing that if I don't have gjally, i have to cheese, hope the AI doesn't zerk me, and pray to RNjesus I make it through. While some chumps on youtube can just burn the boss down in less than 2 minutes with absolutely zero strategy required. ==================================================== So today bungie, you lost a loyal(very loyal) player. My friend played roc strikes. He played dragon. He played more than anyone in our group was even on combined just for that little shot at extra loot. But alas, he grew tired and weary. Frustrated that we have to cheez new raids just because content from the initial released was nowhere to be found for his hard work. So that's it. That's the story for today. Edit: Please have a little maturity in the comments. I'm writing this as a general note, not to get your sympathy. Edit2: Please note that I stated above that I can do the raid, it's just a lot longer process for this(and other) raids without Gjal. Edit3: Please note that the problems with Gjallarhorns strength have just been increased with PoE as far as we are concerned. This was highlighted this week with 30 second kills of just "shoot the boss"(ignore all the mechanics) while we have to go through frustration that is playing this boss normally. -I will be referencing this edit in my further comments. [b]Edit4:[/b] For some reason nobody seems to read this so I'll state it very clearly and precisely: -The actual drop of Gjal is not that big of a problem. The problem is that Gjal creates a huge gap within capabilities. This is highlighted within PoE and was not such a big issue within the other raids and content previously.

  • The impact of RNG in this game is too much, which is the only reason I am fine with Xur giving exotics away. Personally I think it breeds envy and hostility because it is too common that someone newer gets something that his day 1 friend doesn't have and wants very badly. Given how much RNG impacts this game and how casual-friendly it has become, I am seriously considering finding something else to play. I'm not mad or bitter, but I think I would rather quit than do what everybody else has done which is to cry to Bungie to make changes that ruin the game for others. As far as Gjallarhorn goes, I wish they would just nerf the thing already. It goes a long way in marginalizing a lot of content. It gives players way more room for error than intended and helps too much in allowing players to circumvent boss mechanics. It would be interesting if Bungie made a modifier that reduces the damage of heavy weapons. And before somebody comments, I currently have 4 Gjallarhorns.
