I never thought me, of all people, would say this.

But I am starting to lose interest in Destiny. And I'm starting to lose it [i]fast.[/i] Yesterday, I kept browsing the PlayStation store looking for new games. And then when I closed it out and saw Destiny 2, I just sighed. I just don't understand. How does this even happen? I was expecting Destiny 2 to be everything Destiny 1 was(Post Rise Of Iron) and better. It's not even that. This just feels like a repeat of Vanilla D1. And as much as I hate putting on those stupid rose-tinted glasses, Destiny 1 actually had a raid that was enjoyable. It had fascinating gear with perks that were HELPFUL(Bonus damage to oracles, and extra heavy ammo boots, anyone?) And all the weapons were top-tier, and if they weren't top tier, they were still good. Fatebringer, Found Verdict, Mythoclast, Praedyth's Revenege, Hezen Vengeance, Vision of Confluence. It also gave us a sense of prestige and sense of wonder. Elemental Primaries! A legendary type of weapon that could only be found as a reward from the raid. Obtaining these gave you a sense of [b]power[/b], as on Nightfalls with a burn, your -blam!-ing primary was doing an unreasonable amount of damage. Everything in D2 seems.. Weak. Unimpressive. (Except Legend of Acrius. I love that thing.) I'm a titan main(duh) and in D1, [i]An Insurmountable Skullfort[/i] and [i]Dunemarchers[/i] were not that appealing to me. But in D2? They're arguably one of the best exotics titans have right now. And they're still the same version from D1! I'm just gonna cut this post short and say this: [b][i]The Endgame is not fun, and the rewards aren't worth the headache.[/i][/b] I'm not gonna do the stupid Exodus Crash strike on prestige because it's [b][i][u]BUGGED, IT IS NOT FUN TO DO BECAUSE OF HOW POORLY DESIGNED IT IS, AND BECAUSE OF TIMERS AND THE STUPID TIME ONION RINGS AND ODKWKDJEOWKRNWOWJRJWD[/u][/i][/b] And what reward am I gonna get? A duplicate/and or undesired exotic and some tokens? I am 305. These rewards don't mean anything to me anymore. The Prestige raid won't mean anything to me because it doesn't increase light level. The weapons are boring and dull. And the bad part about this is, the community [b][i][u]HAS BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE LAUNCH. WE HAVE BEEN SAYING THE SAME -blam!-ING COMPLAINTS SINCE LAUNCH.[/u][/i][/b] YOU KNOW WHAT WE GET? WE GET STUPID WEEKLY UPDATES TELLING US SHIT WE ALREADY KNOW AND AT THE VERY -blam!-ING END OF IT, WE GET "We hear you" OR SOME OTHER VAGUE SHIT I. JUST. WANT. ANSWERS. Address each of our problems and give us solutions that you are working on. Getting a "we hear you" every week is demoralizing, Bungie. It really is. I mean, -blam!-. This game has become such a bore that I'm not even motivated to write fan-fictions or some other cringy crap. That at least should tell you how I am feeling. Please. Stop the reskins. Stop half-assing. Talk to us. Give us a roadmap. [b][i]Do something.[/i][/b] I'll still stick around. But I will not be playing as much until something changes. It has to, or you're asking for your game to fail. Come on, Bungie. I know you can do it. All those talented folks up at Seattle can give us all what we've been asking for.

  • You pretty much summarized the biggest problem with a loot centric game model. Let us make a simple comparison. Destiny - Loot centric game with campaign, sandbox pve environments, cooperative pve activities, and pvp activities. Halo Reach - Campaign, 1 cooperative pve activity, pvp activity, and Forge. Simply listing that off, Destiny has much more to offer than Reach did. Yet a lot of people would say that they enjoyed, and spent more time with, any number of the Halo installments than Destiny. They say that Destiny gets boring. Why? We have been conditioned to expect rewards from our time investments in Destiny, and we get like this when we don't receive it. Yes, Reach had an xp progression system, but it didn't exactly drive people to grind on the same level as a loot game does. We cannot as a community enjoy playing Destiny 2 for fun, because we have been taught that if you aren't getting something for it that is an upgrade, it's not worth doing. You can't just play strikes or crucible for the fun of it, because once you hit 305, there is zero point in playing it for anything other than fun. Destiny 2 is a fantastic game from a shooter POV. It falls short on the loot side for endgame, pretty hard. It's sad, really. We have this great game, and most of us can't enjoy it because we've been conditioned by the very game itself not to. I realized this early on, and am able to enjoy the game by Not focusing on the lack of endgame progression, because it should never be about the grind. It should be about having fun.
