I agree. No new content doesn’t mean it’s dead. Just take a break and play other games in a mean time. Usually the hiatus makes the game feel better when coming back.

Maybe the real Destiny loot is the friends we made along the way.

Will Bungie have new content that is worth the price of admission? Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me 9,999,999 times, shame on me.

You can get dogital -blam!-. I know.... Edit: Wow. HPV is censored.... Also, I can't spell, but whe know that, it's because of the digital -blam!-. Edit 2: This M f'er

The way the game is now nothing is really worth getting anymore. Right? What can’t we do? Dungeons? Raids? K-9 Logistics blindfolded? Simple health/resist builds can get you through those with literally any weapons and a positive mental attitude! PMI! Maybe a zesty fizzy drink or two as well. Chips, etc. So lemme rap attack you with some knowledge. Supposen true end game is now only Grandmasters (easier to complete than ever but much harder to find a group) and contest modes which the latter is far and few between. Then there’s the Trials of Osiris Ant-Man cheater guys. My internet service provider sometimes. My controller dying on final raid mechanic and there’s girlswatching. Ya know the true end game experiences. Heart pounding. Hot chip challenge sweaty situations. Let’s pivot down below for a minute. I played Destiny to collect guns, to shoot at y’all when you were unprepared for what cometh or just maybe you’re in your menu putting that dope -blam!- purple and gold shader and I mindbender (adept) you right in the kneecap. I loved trying them pewters out in crucible and hard content, like OG first corrupted GM when your teammates have rocket launchers on like a buncha newbs. And they sure as heck don’t know what to do with the balls! Not everything I tried in there was a first round pick ok, hence the KD *clears throat* Back in the early days I had randomly got the last word when damn near nobody did and it made me Christmas giggle killing guardians in like .5 secs or whatever. I wasn’t even using it right, I’d aim down sites like a lil kid playing with dad’s gun and let it mechanical bull me around the screen and it’d still murder. Motion sickness memory activated. Also, ha, the Mythoclast in crucible was to this day the most overpowered gun ever, I think just hearing it fire killed you, it took three nerfs and it was still pretty good. And it felt really good having it when nobody else did, like how Lou Gehrig must of felt. Ok, back on track… So what’s the incentive? This game needed a healthy PvP side to fuel pve and vice versa in my opinion. At least that’s how I and my friends played D1 and D2. Ok you got me, my one friend. The one thing that kept me and alllll those friends of mine, hundreds of them… I’m telling ya, girls too, coming back until recently was trying new outfits…. I mean builds out, because abilities are king and I admit it’s fun going prismatic like back to back to back and flangin out grenades and melees and pooping out threading’s like I’m the green goblin with bubble guts. Straight up dunking on an overload and a barrier at the same time like Shaq in his day. But that was mega power creep which degraded every gun we ever got collectively. No vision or balance. No justice. No peace. Finally….ehem, Bungie needed to think through their rewards systems when they had this big corporate shakeup portal idea. Besides making half the game pointless to play because rewards were old and not tier in non-portal content, the AVANTE-GAURD modifier was also a sly sun set too. Edge of fates absolutely grueling level slog disguised as content was a huge turn off for so many people and they dragged their feet remedying it after all the gorgeous hot streamers like Datto, Aztecross and normal people outcry. Instead of quick fast and in a hurry, codemaster 5000, Bill the intern, was sitting on his hands bird watching in a Seattle park on one of his 7 minute breaks while the guardians of the tower damn near rioted. Move your -blam!-, Bill! You’ll never get a paycheck at this rate! You lost thousands of players right there. Round about your average audience numbers from a weekend Tennessee tractor pull on free corndog night. No drinks, never a free -blam!- drink. Also, I think corn dogs are just free everywhere anyways, right? Would you pay for one? It’s just like whatever was left over in the meat sploder bucket of blades, right? They just pour it out into a lil corn bun. I digress. Poof!, those players are all gone now, playing Warframe with all the other space juggalos. They’re not happy, you did this to them Bill. Warframe is like an Evanescence music video was AI made into a mmo space game. These players could still be in Eververse right now spending mom and dad’s hard earned money on group dances nobody ever gets to use and maybe that doki doki armor set y’all made and tried to sell in your first person shooter sword logic game played by mostly guys in there 30’s now. They pay taxes, shave, have joint pain etc. Feel me? Gatekeeping behind character levels to get to OLD content that was recently half-heartedly shined up by our crack shot coder army of one, Bill the intern, was another face plant. 100 hours of grinding lost sectors alone was not only a complete 360 from all of Bungie’s rhetoric about “this is a social game, we want you to make friends! Now go out there and make friends to get your Microcosm! It shoots light! Check out the Eververse Doki Doki armor set - its just bright dust now!” It was friggin cruel and sadistic and Bill is not invited to my birthday party. We were all alone playing melatonin inducing content for weeks while those same super hot, too cute streamers abused your rewards mistakes and goofball modifiers to jump ahead of everyone, just to have you put a cork on it right when the John Q guardian got wind of it and sat down on a Saturday with a sixer of wobble pops and leftover tater salad with a brand new Cat Fancy on the back of the toilet ready and awaiting natures future call. That really pissed people off. You might have lost a few couple stragglers there, we’ll call it 155 players, keep counting for me, Bill. It’s like whoever was making these decisions really never played this game like we do. We as in all those cool really hip friends of mine, really attractive people who make rich interesting conversation and are acutely invested to my needs and feelings. I picture in my minds eye 12 or 13, two hour, ultra positive teams meetings, Bills taking notes, where everyone was so sure this is the way to get the fan base horny for another go at K9 Logistics. “Oh hell yeah Bill, lookin good! Put some more thrall up in here so they definitely can’t just jump past it all and do this sector in 3 1/2 minutes 50 times a day!” Lots of air high-fives, laughter, someone falls out of their chair on camera and breaks wind. Bill gets startled awake. Good stuff. Some high up ryan gosling lookalike with a cigar, no it’s a vape pen, says “ya know what, let’s give the people what they want…..400 bright dust for free next week!” Then huge applause, whistles, someone starts crying, a pregnant woman’s water breaks. A guy in a wheelchair stands up and declares “I can walk!” Our superboy Bill faints in his chair not because of the announcement, he isn’t allowed a lunch break yet and it finally caught up to him. Ok I’ve lost train of thought. Anyhoo I’ve gotta get goin, my Christmas tree is on fire again. If you made it this far and find me a fool I apologize… but maybe…just maybe, someone will read this and go, “what the -blam!- is a wobble pop?”. Stay thirsty my friends. P.S. Someone help Bill.

It should be titled mostly dead .

Im not hungry, there just hasn’t been food for 5 days :)

Erm. Yes it is. I’m sorry for your loss. Time for a new hotter, less stroppy more flexible wife. Wooh! Life is great.

Definition of dead, really. No players and nothing to do.

So it's dead?

I would say it’s clinically dead but can still be resuscitated with the right moves. Current leadership at Bungie just doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to do that. Marathon’s reception aside, the overall gaming community is in agreement that Destiny is one of the most successful live-service games and are laughing at Bungie for treating it so badly just to trend chase.
