Destiny 2 is NOT my full time job...

I hate this game and the development team more every week. I WANT to like this game. I WANT to have a reason to play it. However the continuous addition of ridiculous, grind based reward systems is appalling to me. I have a family, a job and responsibilities in my community that mean I only get a few free hours a days to myself, and not all of those can go to D2. I used what little free time I had this week to stumble to Level 13 (and level 352 finally) with FWC and I don't even have a full set of Faction Gear yet. I think the next "rally" based event should be "Tower Tardfest" where all of the idiots making game play decisions have to log on with chat enabled and listen to the community berate them live. I truly hate the fact that if I don't live in my mothers basement or can't deduct my game time from my taxes because I don't have a streaming channel of some kind, I can't access specific portions of this game. Video games are NOT my full time job.

  • So you think 13 engrams should drop you a full set of armor? That seems ridiculous to me.

      hey, im right there with you, some of us don't have that much time to play, but here's where we verge. not everything in the game should be obtained by everyone, im sorry but that's how it should be. someone who plays for 30+ hours a week SHOULD be at a different place then someone who plays 5-10.

    • So what you're saying is that you want everything to be easy or handed to you with very little game play. If you don't have time to play then don't complain about how you didn't/can't get this or that.

      • Same, but we can't have a game designed for our time schedules, I'm perfectly fine with a grind element put back in, it's not like there's a rush to get everything 🤣 and when I do get extra time at least I have reasons to play 👍

      • Just collect your clan rewards and move on. If you haven't even managed to get a full set of faction gear after all this time...you don't even play casually lmao.

        • So what? You didn't get something in the game is that it? One thing? Who cares? It likely won't even matter come september or when ever they decide on the next hard reset. We had them in D1 and we will have them here likely sooner than later. The chase is a chase if you choose to make it one. If you do then chase and shut up. To chase is just that. Kind of like they call it fishing not catching. If you on the other hand don't want to chase then also great don't chase. Enjoy playing the game. Take what comes along and to hell with the rest of it. You will be better off without the worry on it as again it all will go away the next time the tower falls......

        • I heard you can purchase less grindy/hobby based games? or you can enjoy the rewards that you can acquire for only playing a small amount of time (for example - the 13 packages you acquired this week)? The catalyst / gear will still be there in future rallies. So stop complaining.

        • Not everyone is going to get everything. Accept that due to your time limitations you will be one of those and play casually for fun.

        • Quite simply, this isn't the game for you. Pick something with less of a grind that cooperates better with your responsibilities and the free time you have. Lots of choices out there.

        • I work full time, I have two kids and I have nearly every Exotic in the Game. =) You have to remember a lot of us from year 1 wanted something to do and when Bungie decided to Cater to Casuals by basically handing them everything without effort they lost a lot of their player base. Yes the grind is real, but lets face it if it's to easy is it worth the effort? I only made it to 20 in Faction Rally myself, but I spent most of my time doing the Milestones and a few Raids. I found the Faction Rally to be rather boring and very unrewarding so I basically tinkered with it, but did not make it my focus. What you put into Destiny you get back out of Destiny. Stop worrying about collecting it all and enjoy the game for what its worth. Who cares if X has Y you'll get it eventually. I only get a few hours a night to myself as well. Between Watching some TV, yard work and some gaming I have to decide what is most important. Did I mention I really need to cut the grass? lol

            (To be fair it's only recently with the DLC) I feel like it's a job to play, the "grind" is just there to pad out the game in an attempt to make the DLC feel full, the requirements are too high (they don't take too long, or are too hard) they just get boring repeating the same thing for very little reward (most catylst for weapons are around 250..oh no, Gravaton Lance needs 1000 cosmology kills for some reason..and the Polaris needs burn kills, not explosive kills? Why? ) escalation intends to have you maxed out making you grind up the 45 levels (instead of the usual 10 it's been for years) just to complete an activity (yes you don't have to be maxed out, but that's what they intend you to do) it's like a minimum wage job, do the work, put in the hours, get shit pay. I don't even have fun with crucible or strikes anymore, crucible is more point and click than I've ever seen, it's literally just supers and heavy weapons (I might die maybe 2-5 times from an actual gun) that are 1 hit KO, some weapons doing the killing for you (Colony) or are yet again overpowered and overused (Gravaton Lance) because Bungie STILL can't balance properly after 4 years....And the strikes are just frustrating rather than fun as the modifiers sometimes do nothing but make the enemies bullet sponges to the point where some supers can't even break shields but weapons can so it's best to just not use them...that's not "difficulty" it just slows everything down and makes it take longer... somewhere between D1, and D2 Bungie forgot how to have fun, where's the Burns? The singe crap is stupid maybe 10% more damage (I did one strike where my primary was overstepping my matched energy weapon of the same class) grenade and melee charge faster...yeah..a bit...thanks...where's Daybreak? The Greande recharge that let you whip greandes everywhere..where'd the fun go? I hit KO enemy melee, gurdians get 2X melee but not enough to outright kill so it gets under used, why not have enemy and guardian 1 hits? (Doesn't work on the boss for obvious reasons) add a little risk v reward you can go the the 1 hit but might get 1 hit yourself. They try for difficulty over fun (for some people difficulty = fun) but I don't really think Bungie knows what difficulty is, maybe I don't, but bullet sponge enemies doesn't say "difficult" to me. 1 hit KO grounded, ok that makes things a bit harder, but like the Faction rally reducing my weapons down doesn't make it harder, it just makes it take longer and makes it feel like a chore to do. With warmind, They slowed the progression down, padded the hell out of the game and went back to the RNG screwing people over to take longer (my friend went past 50 for factions, never got a full set, and I haven't progressed on my warlock for two weeks because ive gotten nothing but same level arms for all of the milestones) once you finish the milestones there isn't really even a reason to play because they removed random high drop engrams. So yeah, currently Destiny is, get the milestones done, see ya next week. Repeat...hope this changes with Forsaken..but I doubt it.

          • Grinding is dull no matter that I even have the time to do it? If players want to play video game pachinko, which is what playing the same levels over and over again to get a 1% drop, then go on about how 'veteran' they are, then that's not something I admire either. Rewards need to matter. So does the way they are gotten. Destiny 2 and Destiny 1 are not the first game to turn your immersive experience into pachinko, but they are particularly awful at disguising what they are up to. Either give up getting everything because you know Destiny is designing content to target a profit margin first, entertainment second...or look for something better. But if you want better, you probably have to stay away from all AAA company releases, avoid any pre-ordering temptations, and stop playing if you end up with a Star Wars: Battlefront experience.

          • Grinding is part of MMO's get over yourself, work for you gear or just be undergeared that simple, most of us have jobs and families and you know what, we are ok with not having the best of everything because we understand we dont have the time to earn it. QUIT CRYING

          • im so confused. You say "Destiny 2 is NOT my full time job..." and then follow up with "grind based reward systems is appalling to me". Also.. just a fun note for your "woe is me" casual gameplay thing you are going on about. Time for a game is a matter of time managment. if you have other things to do, then great! good for you! congrats, glad you have other shite to do. I for example, gaming is my main hobby. I have a full time job as well, work 9-6 mon-fri, and other things in life I do actually go an do, pay my own bills, etc. I don't live in my mothers basement or anything. Yet....I completed this with ease. why? I you know...PLAYED....the game. I put in the time and got it (not that it took that long). Get over yourself. just because you have the game does not give you the right to have EVERYTHING everybody else gets. You have the right to EARN that stuff, not the right to just turn on the game for an hour a week and get the exact same stuff. they tried the game that way and it tanked...badly...it was WAY to casual. and this was also just a week long event. if you did this for even 1.5 to 2 hours a day at the MOST, you still would have had rank 50 in just a couple days. sounds like your cry baby problem is you. grats on games not being your full time job, glad you know how to be an adult, but that does not mean you get the same stuff I get. you want that stuff, then play and get it. otherwise, whine to yourself, because your tears taste way to salty.

            • Yeah. I actually hit Level 50 with FWC and think my light went up maybe by 3? The vertical progression is broken, plain and simple.

              • You people claim that there wasn’t a true grind to D2. Okay. They add in a bunch of new features that greatly improve the grind. You people complain that the grind is too much. You people will never stop complaining, will you?

                • You have three rallys to get to 50 if you don't have the time to get one of each this season. I literally hit 50 just from doing the weekly milestones and the daily faction milestones on each character. People that put more time in the game deserve more stuff in the game.
