The 7 years of Destiny post just reminded me how much better, more hype and healthier the expansion structure was for Destiny.
Yea the most hardcore players complain about significant content droughts in D1 in between the releases but when new content arrived, it ARRIVED. No drip fed and forced "come back every single week" type of content. You got hyped up with a great cinematic, fired up the game at launch day, could decide on your own how to play and WHEN to play and could enjoy other games on the side.
Thats how i saw it. I enjoyed that old expansion system SO much more, its not even funny. Bungie, you need to realize that fluctuating player numbers are NORMAL and [u]okay[/u] for mmo's. Stop forcing the consistent player engagement by drip feeding literally everything these days. We should decide when WE want to play Destiny. We are not pre-schoolers who need their hand to be held and their time managed to the absolute maximum.
If i want to take 2 weeks off cause i'm excited to play a new major dlc and burn through it, let me do so. And if i want to play half an hour every day and slowly enjoy the new content, let me do that too. Whats so hard to understand that none of us have similar schedules, priorities and time. Sometimes i have 0 hours left of my day for weeks upon weeks, i can not catch up during those times. And then i have a week off and want to sink my time into D2 to really enjoy the game and catch up content wise just to realize that literally nothing is completable within that week. Everything is locked behind a weekly rotation or is even more stretched out due to scheduled releases within the given season.
Let us play OUR way again, please for the love of god.
It's rather burning me out, feeling the need to have to login every single week to stay up to date, instead of keeping me interested and engaged.

1 ReplyI agree. I don't understand how people prefer time gated quests and doing the same thing constantly over and over. But most of these kids don't play real mmos and know how great studios do things.
