So I've been playing Destiny since day 1, I play more pve but also play pvp with over a 1.0 k/d on all 3 lvl 32 characters I have. I own almost all of the exotics and legendary weapons I want besides hawkmoon and thunderlord after hours upon hours of grinding.
All that being said, here are my opinions:
Pve is fun and what makes this game unique to any of the fps genre, but the content is starting to get stale. The reason to keep going into the game world is to upgrade guns or gear through bounties and that is about it. The maps for each of the planets are beautiful and vast but I only go to certain places because of bounties, dailies, or weeklies/nightfalls. I won't replay any story mission that isn't daily or bounty related because there is no reward to it.
Pvp is fun and again the maps are great and the fps pvp element makes this game again unique to the mmo genre, but the nerfs/buffs constantly are going to leave some classes better than others, and the players will follow whichever flavor of the week is op'd, as noted by the rise in red death usage in the last week. My issues come in with the weapons that I have grinded to get not being as effective as some rare, or even uncommon weapons. I understand level advantages being disabled, to level the playing field, but I personally believe my suros regime should be more powerful than a Galahad e and I should have an advantage in that fight. Maybe the player using the rare weapons is just better at pvp than me, i can accept that, however what is the point of putting in the hours to get the better gear then? So then I find myself using thorn or bad juju or something like that instead of using what class I want so that I can be competitive.
So my point to bungie/activision is this:
Embrace what makes your game unique and nurture it. The replay value in your pve world is far more than any fps storyline on the market and can reward the pvp experience with valuable gear and weapons. Along those lines, don't completely nullify the potential pvp advantages that should be had with those tools gained in pve, it discourages playing the entire game and leads to boredom with the same activities played the same way over and over again. I hope more content is on the way that will rejuvenate the pve world. In the meantime, I will continue running my weekly strikes, nightfalls and raids in hopes of getting the exotics I want but, will also start working on cod zombies, far cry, dying light and games like that as the destiny content has lost the freshness that it had and has gotten to the point where I cannot gain much from constantly grinding.
Any thoughts?

I think the problem is obvious: Bungie is divided...in house. Instead of working in concert, each development section is working independently, or so it would seem. You have a PvP dev team... You have dlc dev teams, raid dev teams, patch teams, weapon dev teams.... and on and on. Its the division of labor...sure it helps to organize. But you cannot isolate one part of the game development from another. They must all be in concert with each other playing the same tune. Its clear this is Bungie with a firehose, trying to keep flames from spreading burning down their house. They are in trouble atm.... Lets hope HOW brings salvation :-)

I agree with your post and while we r at it, I would also like to say that they should also make iron banner weapons slightly better as well, u only get one week to get to that level and buy it, aaaand they are just like every other weapon except it has a picture of a tree painted on it

I see your bump and raise you a bump.

Bump x100

BUUUUMMMP

Bump! Keep bumping until hopefully someone who will listen sees this thread.

Aw your suros regime isn't as powerful as thorn and red death? The gun that's literally the easiest gun to use in all of pvp doesn't have the ttk of other good weapons? daww you lil bigger. Maybe weapons that have a higher skill requirement with shot pacing and accuracy should reward their users with faster time to kills than your suros laser beam aka ultimate noob gun

It's so sad but true😞

I was able to get my lock to 32 and then after that I was like well now what??? I know I can keep playing and try to get my raid helmet to complete the set and also try to get more exotics but other than that dunno. I have a lvl 31 hunter and a lvl 14 Titan so I still have some game left but once I get to my next 32 that question is going to come up again.... I know inferno is coming up along with another round of IB as well however that does not hold my interest as much as PVE does. Trying not to sound negative however destiny for me is hearing the steps of the other games I own catching up and saying "hey remember me?!?!? Play me as my content is old BUT its new again to you since you dropped me to the side when destiny came out." My other games want to send destiny home crying...

Bump. Im bumping this at you bungie.

Completely agree with you, therefore it will not occur. The corporate big wigs are working to hard on their synergy.

Edited by xnbkcbc: 3/1/2015 5:14:34 AMYou replay the game because you think it is fun, not because something new happens each day. Most games don't even let you continue to play past "the end" without completely starting over. Why do you think in the "good old days" people would spend hours in the arcades just playing the same games over and over? Adapt to the game, don't force the game to adapt to you. If you can't, perhaps it's time to give it a break.

I just got DBZ Xenoverse...try it.

I love how unique all of our Guardians are! It's great seeing 32s looking [i]exactly[/i] the same in ugly armour! Seriously though, we need a lot more armour or customisation options. I'm talking Diablo levels of gear, hundreds of Legendaries.

Posted by newsk in another forum. I only copied and pasted part of it. If you want his whole response feel free to ask or search the forums. "It was always our intention for the Destiny sandbox to be an evolving game-scape (did I just make that term up?), similar to games like StarCraft and LoL, where balance changes get rolled out based on emerging player trends and play-styles."

BUMP. I remember all the hype of "being who you are want to be" not what a spread sheet demands you.

Edited by RaveEX: 3/2/2015 5:22:39 PMEveryone can still play how they want, they just have to adjust to the new playstyle of their favorite weapon on pve and especially pvp. My friends are still owning with suros in pvp, because they took the time to find out the appropriate firing distance for AR's. Pvp is more about skill than equipment after all.

Play how you want. With the weapons we tell you to... I still am not sure if it is pure incompetence from the developers,or they are building a game around restrictions activision and senior managers are placing on them to confine there game in a certain space and to secure profits from there other in house titles are not effected. I suspect it's a bit of both..

I'll give you my Thunderlord for your Hard Light, when ever they implement trading

Bumpity

I hope bungie will see this and get they're act together

the game was advertised as such large expansive maps many many weapons that could be modified by the players tons of other customizable items Etc. we where lied to big time the truth is the maps are extremely small connected by extensively long hallways the weapons are all basically the same including the exotics all end game players look EXACTLY alike and to top it all off the way bungie keeps manipulating things we are basically forced to play their way or be punished in some respect. Many analyst within the gaming and financial industry have stated that without a severe and speedy change of direction destiny will become a thing of the past within the year and it's severs re - purposed in order too try and recoup the losses that sill number in the 100's of millions of dollars
