EXACTLY what I knew would happen. Them focusing on the casual players (since they lost the majority of their players in Destiny 1 within the first year) and no putting any effort into the end game killed this game for my clan. It's the same boring crap cycle of a nightfall, raid and trials, that's it for end game (anyone who says lost sectors or public events are end game is out to lunch). One more trophy to the platinum (the trophies are also lazy and lacking) and we will be moving onto other games for the foreseeable future as there is literally no reason to keep playing this. I have been lucky, but I am already only missing 2 exotic weapons (prospector and the raid shotgun) and have most of the other exotics as well already (and most of them are garbage compared to D1).

Hey, I found this new game last night when I got bored of Destiny 2, it's called Destiny. Much better.

Chase max light. There hasn't been a specific weapon that makes a real difference to chase since year one Destiny. Progression is all that matters.

What I said recently in a post. About what the game lacks [b]#1: NPC & Interactions[/b] With the Player Character now a silent protagonist, this is the perfect moment to introduce NPC conversation and interactions like we have seen in Elder Scrolls and previous Fallout games. Give the player another avenue to learn about the world while also establishing relationships with characters. Make the Ghost a character we can interact with. Who we can ask questions. Who we can develop a connection with. No one cared about the Last City because they never had any opportunity to talk with them. RPGs make sure that their worlds are Full of characters for players to interact with, both large and small, that make it feel alive. [b]#2: Side Quests[/b] This goes back to adding more NPCs. Adding a plethora of side quests to the various NPCs gives the players reasons to explore the environments. They can be tiny things like; “Please find my Spouse/Child/Pet”, “Please check out this dungeon”, “Please escort me to a location”, etc. little things that flesh out the world. But also having Long storylines that don't pertain to the main story is very important as well. Side Quests also serve as a great way to flesh out the world. [b]#3: Wildlife[/b] Destiny takes place 1000 years in the future. I'm sure with nature taking over, and who knows what was done in the golden age, that there are plenty of fauna for players to see running around. Deer, Elk, Wild Dogs, Birds, maybe a bear, etc. The world is a big place, fill it. Just like NPCs, open world games feel empty without wildlife. [b]#4: character creation[/b] I would think that when you take advantage of creating a sequel and implement a better character creation. Simply put we need more options when creating a character. We have very few faces to choose from and we can't customize facial features such as, the nose, ears, mouth, eyes, chin, cheekbones, eyebrows, etc. Also where are the beards? There's a character we meet in destiny 2 who has a beard, but we can’t get one? [b]#5: Lore[/b] This is the Big One. Like other Story heavy games, have a lore codex that players can look at in the game. Have it start out with any basic information the player is curious about, then have it update with each new finding, encounter, and as you progress through the story. Also put Books, Journals, Audio files, Drawings, etc. things that players can check out. Fill the ruins of humanity with lore about the Golden Age. Having the option to ask the Ghost questions about the world, would be a great way to introduce and immerse players into the universe. But Make sure that lore can be talked about through NPC interaction. (The Fact that DOOM has a better lore system is troubling, considering story doesn’t matter in that game at all.) [b]This one is more of a nitpick #6: Camera[/b] Give the players the option to move between first and third person perspective. Don't make it so they have to use first in combat and third in social. Forcing different camera perspectives takes away immersion and leaves the player with less options. That's my take on what the game is missing and would really have made it one of the next Great Games. I think that Bungie really should have gone all out and overhauled the game when they had a chance.

Destiny 2 is a great game, [b][i]until[/i][/b] you get to it's endgame. I can't place my finger on it but it feels like Destiny 2 is missing a lot of minor things that Destiny 1 had, things that would keep the playerbase coming back for more. The OP is right, I don't have anything to chase in Destiny 2. Even at its absolute worst, I knew I could grind Destiny 1 for Vanguard marks and Strange coins so that I could buy Vanguard gear from the Vendors and Exotics from Xur so that I could get as close to max light as possible ( since I could not do the Raids since I was a solo player ). In Destiny 2, the Vendor don't actually sell anything, they only give out loot as rewards and all of it is powerful than what I already have. Destiny 2's Exotics also feel very meh, there's nothing Super exciting to chase after.

"It's just a BETA guys...it won't be boring once the full game comes out...I promise =)"

Oh come on. You got like 1 or 2 milestones a week to do.
