Bungie has killed the only fun activity in PVE

I was grinding for the perfect Austringer, Beloved. And fusion. I have had to go run strikes, public events, and open all those chest on the barge hoping to get one rune of desire. I was always out of them because even though I hit the chest 4 or 5 times I didnt get my roll. I still haven't. Accept now it's not worth my time. Menagerie was so fun because it gave us a reason to grind. Now it's dead. No fun. No reason to go hunt runes. The activity is to long to get just one chance with this kind of RNG. Put it back the way it was please. Bump this for support. Edit: Thank you for all of your opinions. What made this activity fun imo was the farm. I've heard some great ideas or read them rather. Why not put a non power chest at the end of each section but to open it you must beat that section. Then the final boss is 3 powerful rewards a week on a maxed out chalice? Thoughts?

    • I only run it for the mods each week and that’s it. I do feel players pain though who never got the drops they wanted. I got pretty lucky and nabbed a god roll Austringer on my 12th drop. I got an auto /sniper calus armor loadout. My Beloved took my 76 rolls. Without the chest glitch I never would’ve gotten it.

    • How is it fun if all you care about is the reward at the end? It's fun to play and it gives you what you chose.

    • Sigh......well to be very honest the direction of this game is as such. And slated to get worse with more and more reskins to follow. I for one stopped the senseless grinding a year or so ago. Lost complete interest after the whisper for neutered (again). Pointless grind,increased difficulty,for sub par destiny weapons. We have been shooting at the exactly same aliens in different colors for ummm five years now. And the “new” enemies aren’t even reskins just renames “nightmares”..............maybe just maybe they will give them a “new” move set......but my guess is status quo

        There should be something like 3 or 4 chests to open at the end using the chalice. Considering what you have to go through to get to the end one chest really isn’t enough. Still nice that you have some say in what drops but slim chance for the roll you want.

        I was luckily able to no life it before my shifts start up again. I got a god roll on each weapon. I do it now for fun and farming. I hope they bring it back- even 4 chests per run. (A chest after each encounter and a powerful drop chest at the end with increased chances for masterworked items).

          • I agree. with 1 gun per run people will be happy with decent rolls with more per run 3 or 5 people will play longer for perfect rolls I was planning on going for God rolled, beloved, austringer, fusion rifle, the new shotgun, etc and now im just going to go for decent ones more loot = more engagement i wish people would see this insteasd of calling people selfish like so many other people have.

              What happens after you get your perfect roll, are you going to keep playing it? I can take a guess, and that’s probably why Bungie wants to stretch out the rewards and [i]keep[/i] you playing. The bigger issue isn’t the chest, it’s that Bungie hasn’t figured out how to design a fun activity that keeps us playing despite the rewards, not purely because of them. Every activity boils down to pretty much the same actions and becomes tedious so quickly we beg for chest glitches just to get our loot and get out.

              • To be fair you had over a month to get the God rolls you wanted.

              • One chance at RNG? You mean one chance at the roll you want. All other events outside forges have LAYERS of RNG. Did the gun or armor even drop? RnG Did the gun or armor have base stats you needed? RnG Menagire lets you skip all the layers and go right for perks. Nothing else lets you do that. Takes maybe 10-15mins to run normal. Sounds like you just want handouts instead of working for that reward.

                • Menagerie is exactly the same as it was before, only the loot has changed. It seems as though the fun part was getting loads of loot and you actually don't like the activity...if it was fun then there wouldn't be an issue playing it more. It may sound harsh but logically its true.

                  • Lol, this does not sound like you enjoyed the activity at all. You just enjoyed the loot from it. No wonder Bungie don't listen. You guys want glitches back instead of making new ideas up to make the activity fun again! The activity is the exact same. No changes at all to the Mechanics. Just a small patch. They simply fixed an issue which PLAYERS normalized. So this post title is pretty much saying one thing, that the activity was fun, and then go to post about the loot. For me, the Mechanics make the activity fun. The loot makes it rewarding.

[quote] I still haven't.[/quote] There's a slot in the chalice that gives you back a rune after opening the chest. [quote][i] Except [/i] now it's not worth my time.[/quote] Fixed your spelling. A PVE event that is incredibly forgiving and allows you to pick what powerful item drops every week? Man, I wish Destiny 2 had MORE events like that. [quote] Menagerie was so fun because it gave us a reason to grind.[/quote] Apparently it still does. Or did you get that Fusion Rifle/ Sniper/ Handcannon? [quote]Now it's dead.[/quote] Ummmmm.....not really. Still plenty of people queuing up, even at all hours of the night. [quote] No fun.[/quote] What changed game play wise? Nothing. So you're admitting that you never had fun playing the content? [quote] No reason to go hunt runes.[/quote] So helping the other people who haven't gotten their weapons/armor isn't a good reason? Man, you must get LOADS of coal at Christmas. [quote] The activity is to long to get just one chance with this kind of RNG.[/quote] This activity is shorter than some of the strikes/raids/crucible matches that are in game at the moment. It's also got better RNG than any of them. You get to pick the EXACT weapon/armor that you want. That's removing one element of RNG right there. Don't believe me? Go run last wish until you get 1k voices. Or were you even there during forever 29? [quote] Put it back the way it was please. Bump this for support.[/quote] No. You get one chance per pull of the slot machine. You spend less time on this content than any other and you get to choose what exact item you want. Did your weapon not have the "God Roll" that you wanted? Blame the people who wanted weapon randomization back into the game. Otherwise there would be no "God Rolls" and we would all have the same weapons.

                    • I thought you could get 3 powerful drops per toon per week? Is that not 9 opportunities to obtain the role you want? 9 x 20 Min Menagerie runs = 3 hours of grind in return for 9 Powerful Drops? Sounds good to me.

                      • It only took me 5 Manageri runs and 5 awful items that are useless for me to give up on the game mode entirely. I dont think its fun, i dont think its creative, and I never thought it was rewarding even when the cheese was still smellin up the place.
