Longtime Destiny player here and I have to say I'm not enjoying Destiny 2 since Black Armory's release. When Forsaken was released, I expected problems (there were many) but I also expected these problems would be addressed with patches and updates. Too many, however, haven't been. Playing the game just to get the gear I want has become a chore. In Destiny 1, if I wanted New Monarchy gear, I'd simply play as I normally did and eventually I would get it. In Destiny 2, not only was the faction system broken (who's idea was that BTW?), but so much of what used to work is now broken. Year 1 region gear hasn't been upgrades and there isn't enough Year 2 gear to play for. The gear we do want is locked behind bad RNG or the lack of changes to get it. What is going on?
List of fixes
- Faction rewards should be 1 piece of armor AND a weapon, not one or the other. I'm sick of getting armor when I already have a full set.
- Make Petra a proper vendor. There is no reason why I shouldn't be allowed to grind for hours in the Dreaming City for the gear I want.
- Make Nightfall loot Strike loot. If I want a certain roll on a certain weapon, I should just be able to play that strike till I get the drop I want. I hate waiting for a specific Nightfall just to have to spend hours to put together a team to run the Nightfall a few times and only get 1 or 2 drops with bad rolls.
- The Black Armory is a complete mess. The launch was awful, the roll out of the forges has been painful. There is no point continuing to play between the release of quest steps when a) Augmented Frames are limited to one a week (they should be unlimited) b) Black Armory Frames are glitched (last week the handgun disappear from Ada-1's inventory) and c) the drop rate for gear inside the Forges is low.
- Start updating every piece of Year 1 gear, especially regional armor sets. There is no point being in the EDZ, on Titan, etc when they are not Flashpoint destinations. Give us a reason to return to those locations.
- Allow us to customize Exotic weapons with mods. There is little point in using some of them when Legendary weapons with mods are just that much better (Sweet Business vs Breakneck with Minor Spec).
- Remove world weapons from the Gunsmith's loot pool. Why am I getting Edge Transits from him? I still get them in abundance while patrolling. Same with Zenobia-Ds, I already have the rolls I want b/c I keep getting them dropped, I don't need them from the Gunsmith after saving up 100 weapon parts. On that note...
- The economy is a mess right now. I need 100 weapon parts just to get a faction reward from the Gunsmith, so I have none to give to Ada-1 for her mods. Also, why does it cost 10 mod components? Those are hard to come by. I already have 42 Black Armory Schematics, let that be the only currency needed.
These issues need to be addressed. I love Destiny, been a fan since Destiny 1, but Destiny 2 is frustrating. How do you mess up grinding?

PLEASE YES. 1 - Upgrade system enhancement cores should only be used for masterworking. That's it. glimmer and legendary shards should be used. 2- Mods we should be able to equip/unequip and move them between guns. Certainly not sacrifice them on a gun we want to infuse. 3- Factions need to come back so I can get certain catalysts like sunshot etc. That may be just my OCD but it's irritating that I simply CAN'T Get some faction related catalysts . 4- Blue and purple Drops should be AT MY current light level , not 20 below. I want to upgrade all my favorite weapons, use the ones I like and I don't want to be forced to use only the few highest level ones 5- Petra should be a vendor of dreaming city so we can get those guns more reliably.

I agree with everything, but mostly the nightfall shit, like come on, why do I need to get specific nightfalls just to get a gun that is not even really worth it make it so that nightfall has the highest drop chance heroic strikes the middle chance and just specific strike the lowest cus then people that run solo matchmaking can still obtain these items

Edited by Atreuss: 1/18/2019 7:40:45 AMAgree on the economy. Get rid of cores for infusion, lower the cost of shards for infusion. 15 for every piece? Give back more shards, cores for decon and decrease the amount of mod components. I am constantly broke in this game and that's jyst on one guardian. Can't afford to grind my other two or have time because of bounty overkill. Oh and can I please get a year 2 exotic instead of dupes?
