Stop saying “we” in your posts. It’s not Bungies fault you got burnt out from binging. Here’s the real facts: - You haven’t beaten all the story content (don’t BS me that you even attempted all of the Adventures and scannables.) - You’re not Max light. You said it yourself you’re throwing in the towel early. - You have not completed all of the nightfall activities... you know since they have not all been released yet. - You bitched about gear, but the reality is there are over 10 sets of gear for each character. You’re telling me you have a vault with 20+ sets of armor in it? On top of that you’re complaining about the reintroduction of factions and don’t plan on participating? Weird for someone who demanded gear grinding options. - You’re short on what you claim to be 4 exotics. So then your set is not complete. That’s like me leaving work early and saying I put in a full day. - And what about guided game activities? Been helping a lot of players out there? - The Raid prestige mode hasn’t even been released yet. Nor has the faction portion of the game. Bungie is doing a soft roll out to prevent the very thing you’re complaining about. And may I add you’re complaining the day before reset. There is more but I’m sure you got the point. Next time when you try to manipulate your readers by saying things like “We need this” and “We want that.” Make sure you know that your group is a lot smaller than you may think. Also good luck 👍

Work 50+ hours/week - was gone launch week and didn’t get to play until the weekend - have 3 kids so only get to play after they are in bed if I’m lucky. I have a 280+ lock, a 290+ Titan, and just started my hunter but yet I still feel how the OP feels. I play when I have time because my friends are on and I enjoy playing with them, but destiny 2 simply put, it doesn’t feel rewarding. I used to hop on destiny when I got home from work just to play a strike or two, or a couple of PvP matches. When I had more time, I would find a group and do the weekly raid challenge, or play some trials. It didn’t matter that all three of my guardians were maxed, or that I had all the gear and there wasn’t really anything left to grind for - it was fun. And playing still felt rewarding. Getting an adept weapon I didn’t have, or messing around with unique exotics I hadn’t played with in a while, changing my class build to discover new ways to feel super OP. Whatever it was, it was enjoyable. Yesterday I ran the nightfall and got exotic boots that reload your energy weapon while sprinting. How is that even considered exotic?! - infused them into my legendary boots and didn’t get the extra 5 light from the legendary mod (which I knew would happen, but still - it’s dumb it doesn’t stack). This is how destiny 2 is though. You spend hours memorizing tedious tasks in the raid (which honestly I think they did a good job with as far as the aesthetics & encounters), but when you finally beat an encounter, you get tokens, which reward gear lower than your current level. Maybe you got a drop, but probably not. You probably got a key instead which after exploring the lower belly of the ship to find a chest to unlock gives you more tokens?! The nightfall: its recommended 240 light, my warlock was 280, I had 2 people 276 & 290+ with me. I had to use an exploit to give us enough time to try and beat the boss, and we still didn’t do it. I had to wait until later in the day when I had clan mates on to beat it, again using the exploit to do so. Strikes - no keys, no locked chests, no strike exclusive loot, no gear above or at current light level. So what’s the point? More tokens? That yet again give gear below your current light?! Crucible - pointless without at least a team of 3 - preferably 4. Enter with 2 or less and you are going to have a bad time. Rewards? - just as much crap as everything else. Lost sectors, adventures, public events? Dismantle, dismantle, dismantle all the loot drops. All kinds of stuff & tokens to turn in everywhere? More worthless gear to dismantle. The sad thing is the content is there, but without the rewards, I don’t even feel like playing it, because it’s not as fun as destiny 1. I can’t mix & match my class abilities to make my subclass feel different - I can pick option A or B. It’s not like there is a massive amount of new weapons & gear to search for since all the perks are standard now. It’s just the same drops over and over. Honestly the most rewarding feeling is getting something cool from eververse when my character earns a bright engram - which rarely happens and is just sad because it’s cosmetics, it’s emotes, it’s different colors for my gear. But I feel the game was made that way on purpose, to feed on those that’ll dump more money into the part that feels rewarding. Anyway, sorry that got so long, but it seems a lot of people are feeling this way.

It's not Bungie's fault that you blew through all the content 3 weeks after release.

I can't even get past 269, much less hit that magical 300+ mark. I understand that the Milestones are there to give "powerful gear", but I'm a Solo Player. The reasons for that I spell out below, and there's really no chance of any of those circumstances changing. - I do the Flashpoints, but that's one item per week, so progression is severely limited with that. - I'm the only active member of my 4-person Clan, so that's limited to my 5000 Clan XP contribution. - I don't ever PvP. I don't believe that PvP should have ever been introduced to any game resembling an MMORPG, and while I am not saying that Destiny is an MMORPG, it's "close enough", and I just don't enjoy any type of PvP. The rest of my issues are that I will most likely not be able to do any of the other Milestones. - By circumstance and availability, I am required to play Solo. The old Clan I used to play with has moved on to a different Clan. I'm the only active member of my little 4-player Clan, and since my Xbox is in my bedroom, I cannot use a headset to communicate with a Fireteam as I am only able to play late night, and my wife is sleeping right behind me. I am loathe to wake her. But because of this, I am unable to join another, larger Clan, as they require (and rightly so) members to ustilize their headsets for team communication. This, I cannot do. - I've done the Mida Exotic Quest. The one for Sturm on Nessus requires a Fireteam as a Strike is the last step, so I'm stuck there. The other Exotic Quests I'm slowly working through. But the 'O Captain' Quest line finishing with a Strike has me a bit skittish about completing the rest of them... but eventually, with time, I'll get through them (hopefully). - The Raid is likewise out of the Question. - The Nightfall is also not going to be happening any time soon. - I don't ever PvP, so the Crucible I will not participate in for the aforementioned reasons. Also, from what I've read about it, the Crucible is extremely unfriendly to Solo Players. - I have only recently reached the 100+ Legendary Shard mark, so until now Xur has been unavailable for Infusion as to utilize his inventory, it would drain pretty much every Shard I had. Plus, I then have to hope that he's selling a weapon or armor that I could Infuse into my Gear. So far, he's sold nothing I could use for Infusion except for a Warlock Chest. In short, while I understand what Bungie was/is trying to do with getting Players to meet each other and "make friends", they've weighted the game so heavily towards that goal, that it has become severely punishing to Solo Players. So, no hate on any of you who have regular Fireteams and Clan activity. Your information is correct and would have been very helpful, but my very situation with Gaming prevents me from doing 90% of the Milestones to advance. Edit = I got my first Exotic Engram in a week and a half last night! It turned into a Warlock Helmet that I already have, and have no use for... It was especially painful because, when it decrypted, it decrypted one -blam!-ing point below the Exotic Helmet I'm already using... I could only shake my head as I dismantled it. Really disappointing.

The ignorance in the comment section is down right hilarious. People bashing you for playing the game more than them & saying how dare you play your game how you want to. I'm seen a lot of toxicity in communities but the fanboys of Destiny take the cake. Hell Bungie themselves called the elitist in their game toxic. Bungie change the rating to M and it will improve the community 10x over.

Get a job?

I have a full time job, a wife and young child. And even I am 300+ on all three characters and have done the raid twice, and flawless trials once. This game was made for people who are either bad at Destiny, or simply have like an hour here and there to play. And here i was thinking D1 needed more. Jesus H. Destiny 2 has less replay ability than fuking donkey kong. It's pathetic.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR HAVE SUMMONED ME. Why?! The game has been out for 20 days and you have 66 Hours put into it, yet you have the audacity come come in here and cry about it not being fun after 3 days of playing?! I have every exotic gun, except raid and Borealis. I have platinumed the game. Almost every piece of exotic armor. 3 characters 300+. Complete 4 Raids. Went flawless, oh, and also have 144 Hours in total so far, while being a husband, father, and full time employed. I still enjoy getting on everyday. If you bought the $100 edition, at 66 hours you paid $1.51 Per hour, I'd say you got your money's worth I'm 3 weeks. CONGRATS, now... back of the line.

So you pretty much just want all the grindy shit back. I'm sorry you've maxed everything out, but I don't want to hear or see people running a strike repeatedly so they could get a gun to maybe drop better for them.

66 hrs I would say, you have gotten your money's worth. Compare that to any other form of entertainment. My long standing rule of thumb so to speak is I want to get at least 1 hr of game play for every dollar i pay for a game. So a $60 game I want to get 60 hrs out of. I think that is a reasonable realistic expectation. Occasionally there will be games that far exceed it(Dying Light) and for those those are true gems. But they are rare. and to expect much over 60 hrs you set yourself up for disappointment. I even created a thread, "how many hrs is enough?"
