Does anyone else feel a little blah
I have to say I'm really starting to feel a little over it now. I had to get rid of some of my year 1 gear cos it's useless. Yes, deej you -blam!-ing lied about that. I'm trying to stay captivated but some of the quests I just can't be arsed with the grid. I've already done that shit before and have to do it again. Some things I love like swords and levelling up legendary gear but legendary marks are really getting on my nerves. I could use crucible and vanguard before but now it's even more long winded to get them and the gear costs the same as before so u do a strike and get 15-25 marks. Then another and get none. Do a little crucible (which I don't do often) and get a few again.
I just feel like 1 step forward 2 steps back. I do wish I had more time to get enthused but I think I'm just going to carry on and live my life as Bungie is just gonna keep making a "dangle the carrot" type game and it's boring.
Some news on what's up and coming would be nice. Bungie?
Edit: thanks for the comments nice to know I'm not the only one. I also don't expect any comments from Bungie as they just wouldn't bother with this kind of feedback. Shame. Oh and nerf thorn. X

Yeah. Some days, playing Destiny feels a little like a chore.

27 RepliesLike I said in my review, that grind is VERY much real and far worse than it was before. The Quests are just there to serve as the carrot, keeping you trudging on and on with no real sense of actual accomplishment. Mainly because at the end of the day, the reality is that either with the next DLC or when Year 3 comes around, it will all literally be totally for nothing. The question everyone needs to be asking is "how will Destiny manage in the long run?" TTK does show SOME innovations, but it didn't improve anything. Meanwhile, can you imagine how much value the game would have had if all the Year 1 Content was overhauled in much the same fashion as the expansion was? Now THAT would have been considered an improvement because it would literally be changing things from before. In the end, this game focuses [b]WAY TOO MUCH[/b] on the "short term" instead of trying to secure a solid foundation for its future.

2 RepliesYup. The new car smell is gone. People are going to finally see that nothing really changed. It's the same grind fest and hope for something worth a shit. The new mark system as a whole is awful. It was a huge step back and is more restrictive than ever
-
Tom Clancys The Division will be the death of destiny imo.

I know what you mean, we have had a fire team who played every evening since launch, we got through every raid and took down Skolas. We all couldn't wait for TTK and after the dust has settled we all came to the same conclusion. We all feel a bit ripped off, the new level system is a bit of a grind and is complete luck with what you get, we get 2 new locations "just" where as full price year 1 destiny at launch had so much more for the money. We are all losing interest very quickly, we can't even get enthusiasm for the raid. I never thought this could happen as year 1 we played and replayed levels, strikes, raids over and over again. I think the new content just doesn't warrant the price and it's just not different enough.

1 ReplyI don't know what everyone is complaining about. With Bungie's game strategy you don't have to grind. Just take the next several years off, come back for year 10, pop a Spark of Light and you'll be on the same level as all the suckers who went through the grind year after year.

13 RepliesIt's only been two weeks and everyone is "Bored" with the DLC... Called it! Next will be the Nerf crys!

I agree, I would play the game without the dangling carrot. There is no need to force playtime on the people who already enjoy the game. In the twitch reveal, when they told us that there wasn't any cap on how many legendary marks you could earn, that sounded great. But, in true Bungie fashion, they severely limited ways to aquire them. This kind of crap is really getting tiresome.

1 ReplyGame will go out with a whimper not a bang. Fallout4 FTW.
-
9 RepliesHonestly for me, Destiny just fills the time inbetween other greater and better games. Soon the Uncharted collection and Fallout 4 will come out and its bye bye Destiny for me.
-
Edited by z_cryptix_z: 10/3/2015 11:30:53 PMIt's my time killer til fallout 4 comes out. I had to delete a lot of my year one armor that had perfect rolls on it because I needed room...still a little salty but it's whatever. I found better armor now but just isn't the same.

1 step forward and two steps back is correct here.
-
Seriously though why the -blam!- did I have to buy a hawkmoon from Xur WHEN I HAVE -blam!-ING 8 OF THEM IN MY VAULT?? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL -blam!-?? I would understand of I had to buy a blue print for a gun they had updated and changed for year 2 but this is simply bullshit I went from having every exotic in the game to having 3. WHAT THE -blam!-. And we got "dark belowed" with having to upgrade the exotics again?? What the hell it wasn't ok then and it isn't ok now.
-
I agree with you 100%
-
Chill, it's only been two weeks. I only have one max character. If this was skyrim, you probably would have gotten to the dwarven vault yet. Anyone get stuck because you didnt realize you had to scale the mountain to get your first shout?

I started a job just before the dlc hit. I went from unemployed and playing the hell out of games (destiny a lot) to the point that i have 5 hours a day after work till I'm passing out. And some of those days i spend time with my woman instead of gaming. Now, you're probably wondering why you should care about this. Point is, this game is MUCH more fun when played casually. I've yet to run the raid. My max light is like 294 or 295 on one character. I still haven't had time to even touch the others. So seriously, try limiting how much you play this at once. I understand its hard not too binge play this shit. But if you can avoid it, you might start liking it a bit better.

4 RepliesMaking Year One items obsolete was a huge mistake. No one's going to be hyped for year three if all your year 2 stuff will be junk. You might as well buy a different game every year rather than stay. One of the neat things about a game carrying on for as long as it does is you get a bit of history, and work to upgrade some of the original equipment.
-
Nah, I don't play 8 hours a day 7 days a week. I barely play a few hours a night a few nights a week and I'm still pretty interested in the game. Time for you to move on maybe?
-
Agree. Getting to be a daily boring grind. I dont seem to care as much as used to. Rewards generally suck. Too much effort for too little gain.
-
1 ReplyEdited by ogAllen: 10/2/2015 2:43:47 PM2 steps forward and 1 step back. Seems like progression to me.
-
The hype is over. First it was new and everything great. Now it is daily business and grinding. I agree to you.
-
I miss both the 5000 xp bounties we used to have and the nightfall buff. It takes FOR-EV-ER to level up our gear now. I also completely agree with you about the amount of time it takes to collect Legendary Marks. I sometimes feel like I get more strange coins in a week! The grind for them is especially real when you're first starting out since you're mainly using them to infuse your gear instead of using them to purchase new gear. Add the fact that we now have to use them to purchase Iron Banner things instead of glimmer…yeah…that's going to hurt. There are a lot of things that I love about TTK, but the increased grind in an already grindy game is starting to feel, as you said, "a little blah."

1 ReplyEdited by BlessTheMic863: 10/1/2015 5:10:49 PMHave had a lot of fun with TTK but I am already starting to get bored with it. I am excited for the Herioc Raid. Started doing the quests on my second character and it's just not interesting, it feels more like a chore than a pleasure.

3 RepliesI loved the story for the taken king. But I could tell very quickly that the grind was much worse. Then there's also that nagging sense of "for what". After dismantling year one gear all at once I realized that was a much bigger blow than any MMO had done to me before. As I started to upgrade gear I kept thinking about how by December I'll be doing mass dismantling all over again. Really disliking this light rating system.

Yet still has more to do than most games. There is always something I can work on, whereas other games I can either a.) play endless games of pvp or b.) play a linear story line. The raid is a blast, trials and iron banner are returning, hard mode and the three challenge modes are still coming out, more weapons that I haven't found...yea nothing to do at all
-
VG normal strikes should always reward at least 2 marks for completion, VG heroic 5. Crucible win 3, crucible loss 2. That's still incredibly slow rate of mark generation, but giving you a little something for staying on and playing. This schedule model they have is weird. They want you to play everyday, but not that much? They're getting better. Vanilla Destiny was absurd.
