A heroic adventure is only a tier 1 activity. They’ve outlined this in one of the TWABs.
Plus I don’t understand frustration with this? Take your time enjoy the game and that you still have something to go after. It’s not like being 690 hinders you from doing anything in the game.
The only ones I feel bad for right now are the people struggling with MW cores. Outside of that issue the game is in a good state. It’s really at a play at your own pace kind of setting. And it’s nice to be able to do that and not feel as if you’re getting left behind.
I’ve played Destiny through its entire existence religiously. And where I hold a certain Nostalgia for D1 and besides Age of triumph this game is as good as Destinys ever been. There’s a lot to chase exotics are fun to use and feel exotic the last 2 raids have been steps back in the right direction.
You can call me a fanboy, and to a degree I suppose I am. But sometimes we take games to seriously and fail to sit back and look at the fun we have playing it. Also if we’re going to talk about time investment where do you spend spend this much time for the amount of money Destiny requires? Everybody says oh look we’ve dumped $150 into a single game. Oh well? You didn’t drop it all at once. People act like 30 or 40 bucks is a bank breaker(I know to some it is). Most people spend more than that on one night out for way less time of enjoyment.
Sorry for the rant if you read this far I was just trying to provide the insight to remember it’s just a game it’s meant to be fun.

[quote]A heroic adventure is only a tier 1 activity. They’ve outlined this in one of the TWABs. [/quote] Circular argument....and borderline non sequitur. The OP isn't claiming that the system isn't working properly. He's pointing out the effect that its having on player enjoyment of the game. [quote]Plus I don’t understand frustration with this? Take your time enjoy the game and that you still have something to go after. It’s not like being 690 hinders you from doing anything in the game. [/quote] You don't understand, because you are too busy lecturing the OP to bother to listen to him. HE"S LITERALLY TELLING YOU WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. He's feeling that the time he's invested in the game is going UNREWARDED. That sense of reward is VITAL to the survival of any loot-based game. I said that to Cozmo six months ago when I warned him that this day was coming..and that players would have their patience strained to the breaking point ala the OP. [quote]Outside of that issue the game is in a good state. It’s really at a play at your own pace kind of setting. And it’s nice to be able to do that and not feel as if you’re getting left behind. [/quote] No it isn't....and the reason why your able to do that is BECAUSE of what the OP is complaining about. This system is so thoroughly infused with RNG...and progression rates have been so heavily throttled....that the rate you progress in the game has more to do with LUCK than it does with play time invested. [quote]Also if we’re going to talk about time investment where do you spend spend this much time for the amount of money Destiny requires?[/quote] ...and how is that of any value ot me (or the OP) if we're not ENJOYING that time. Because Bungie has gone all-in on FRUSTRATING our efforts to progress, and WITHHOLDING the game's rewards. This is not a game that rewards investment. Its an over-engineered slot machine. You gamble your time and effort....and you hope it spits out power and progress. If I wanted to gamble for entertainment, I'd just do the real thing. But fact is, I have no interest in gambling...and especially gambling with my most precious resource. My leisure time.

For me the fun factor isn’t big enough. It’s fun sometimes and frustrating a lot to the time. There’s too many things they just don’t care about.

The problem, in my opinion, is the game is too much of a chore (grinding, forced PVP or PVE pursuits) rather than being fun.

The heroic adventure part is clearly just an example Last week (or week before, one of the two) I did 13 milestones for powerful gear as well as a full Last Wish run I went up maybe 1 or 2 light levels. I spent hours playing this game, and for what? A bunch of garbage weapons and armour pieces that aren't even useful for infusion because they dropped lower than what I already had

I agree with you a step in the right direction but there are other issues. Lack of endgame. We are locked into midgame leveling perpetually and i have never felt powerful like i did in D1 the vendors are largely useless and the pass didnt give me anything but more mid game leveling woes and low self esteem wearing low level gear or looking like a vagabond. I agree with your statements but there are more issues. I cant get through a comp gsme without getting the finger, i mean the weasel.

Oh I agree there are other issues. I totally agree with looking like a vagabond the armor just in general needs better design. And they’ve gotten away from raids being the pinnacle activity that they were. However I can’t tell if that’s Bungie’s doing or player fatigue? The last 2 raids “Last Wish” and Scourge of the Past” are very good.
