Right now I am having a hard time grinding for god rolls when all the ones I care about got sunset. I can't justify spending that time when my time hasn't ever been respected. Every single weapon that ever felt powerful got nerfed or sunset. The raid weapon rolls are horrible for me and I still can't even get a full set of armor. Bungie does not respect my time. So I am not spending it on them anymore.

I like the story progression. I am actually excited to log in on Tuesday and see where it’s going. I’ve been taking a much more laid back approach since D2 and it’s nice to just run the activities you enjoy.

I'm just doing what I enjoy now. No more gambit, no Trials, no comp. -blam!- that. Game is gonna wind down soon anyway.

K .

The lore is fairly different this season. [spoiler]Oh, you meant the gameplay! Well, in that case, change your tags.[/spoiler]

So bored with it that I play an hour or two to advance the story and then don't play again till next reset.

WELP TIME TO VENT. The seasons are so boring, there’s so little to do each week yet it’s just the same stuff we’ve done since vanilla. I get that they can’t just churn out content really I do. But would it kill them to spend more time either A: improving the base game, or B: actually make huge events that evolve with time and affect the game world. I’m not saying we need the whole map on earth to change each season but can we please have something to indicate that Change is happening and for us to have fun while it does? Bungie wants to have their cake and eat it by having an “ever changing world” but don’t want to put in the leg work to sell that feeling. Enemies have been recycled to the point that a new enemy type is like seeing a unicorn. People were more interested in the Brig than Europa since it got the short end of the content stick. Why not make more reskins to set apart enemy groups like in D1? Why not give us more unique interactions with enemies and ai since we’re always dealing with them? Like what if you could use a consumable from the spider to summon friendlies that can deal some decent damage or maybe if you execute a powerful hive enemy lesser hive will flee/kneel in prayer to you. Something to really make the game feel diverse and not just dreg=thrall=goblin=legionary. Season of the Hunt was BY FAR the worst because at least worthy gave us seraph weapon mods, some of the best mods in game. But hunt had trash weapons and a mode that was somehow tedious and painfully easy. I was able to hang around during the content droughts in 1 because at least I knew there was something worth waiting for. But current D2? Let me guess, another hoards mode with no unique mechanics or just really tedious ones? A few weapons and armor sets meant to hold us over for a quarter of a year? [TL/DR] I love destiny really I do. But bungie seems so intent on pursuing a style that simply makes me constantly wonder why I even played it. Played it as in I haven’t in months that’s how unappealing it’s become. Even die hard players in friends with, the kind who would raid all the time in D1 don’t even touch the game now.

Yep....that is why I am not playing this season.

Every season?!?,… how about every week?

Bungie already confirmed we will never get content like forsaken or taken king due to not having the assets granted by activision. This loop hole is honestly the best they got and I’m honestly ok with it. I don’t mind having to level up a new artifact or leveling up some new item for the season. Only complaint from me is how repetitive the missions are, expunge at least is unique and has different versions of the mission so the runs feel different in some way or another. The 6 player activity is really fun too but I really wish we weren’t locked to just one area each week. Thats my complaint right there, bungie should’ve alternated the zones so each run didn’t feel exactly the same. Everything else is fine, the loot this season is really good, the story is fantastic and for the first time in a very long time, I look forward to each reset in Tuesdays.

Bungie can and will keep doing it forever. Cut and paste seasons are a huge win for them. I can't stomach it any longer. An hour is now a long play session. It's just so bad... (In my opinion, your experience may vary)

I reckon next season should be called "Rinse and Repeat" cause that's all we seem to be getting season after season.

That's why I basically stopped pve this season. I got to max level last season and I just can't stand to do it again.

Yup. This model since Shadowkeep is stale to me. The 7x3 grid and mindless season events get old fast. Without VoG I dont think I would have bothered to level up. I guess for the small cost, I still enjoy the first few weeks of any given season though I would rather it cost more and had more content. Dungeons etc.. But I totally get the model from a business point of view.

Yeah, only thing that brought me back were the artifact mods this season. Last season, I didn't even play. If anything, the ritual grind for gambit is lacking and pissing me off...

Bump

Well, i got out of the dreaming city, and now i can do different thing every week! You should get out of there too.

Thats kind of the point though. What kind of big difference are we really supposed to expect season to season after the main release comes out? I know I'm expecting a big difference next season... And things generally improve over time. The seasonal model has definitely improved over last year and will probably improve next year as well. But overall a lot of it is going to be grindy. That's basically what the game is.
