I have been an ardent defender of Destiny since the Beta of Destiny 1. I've lived through all the issues that plagued D1 and still enjoyed it. Even at it's worst times we still had fun as a clan just messing around in the raids and PvP. I was extremely hyped for Destiny 2 and waited (like everyone else) for a game that finally surpassed D1 in every aspect. Watched all the twitch streams and played non stop for the first week or so. Our clan is a tight knit group of people that have played together since nearly the start of D1 so we have a lot of good memories to base our opinion on. D2 is a shell of D1. Power level means nothing, you can reach power level without doing ANY end game activity, PvP is a joke now (subjective I know), and finally the last straw... The prestige raid gives you a f***ing emblem and an ugly shader??? Are you F***ing KIDDING ME???? And the shader looks worse than the normal mode shader. No power level increase, no new weapons with different rolls, and an emblem. I realize that D2 is expected to cater to the more casual player but this is a ridiculous direction to take the game. For those of us that are hard core players there is a satisfaction in finishing something that is very hard and being aptly rewarded for your effort. Instead we get a emblem and an ugly shader. There is a place for casual players to play and hardcore people to play and they both can exist in the same place. But just not in Destiny 2 I suppose. Bungie you screwed up. I'm sure my post will garner no attention from you but due to the HUGE amount of posts saying pretty much the same thing that I am... GET YOUR S*** TOGETHER AND DO IT FAST. You are going to lose your core player base faster than you can imagine if you keep teasing what's coming out next and then it is a total and complete lie. It's truly sad that so many people are going back to Destiny 1 because it was so much better than this. I truly would have waited another year for this game but Activision had you by the Balls so you had to rush it or lose your stock options. So in the process we as a community (that supports you by the way) got screwed more than your precious stock. Thanks for giving us a broken game with no variation in anything.
