Looking Beyond the Numbers

I wanted to take the time to reflect on statistics and player stature, as I also found myself cutting deep in its involvement. We all enjoy the game in our own way, PvP or PvE. Whether it is for the enjoyment of shooting to loot, raising KDs and finding ways to improve, or being a Sherpa, the point is to have fun. I took 3 of my buddies through their first flawless cards yesterday - was it hard? Yes! But when I heard their reactions, I realized just how much I’ve overwhelmed myself with worrying about anything to the extent that I didn’t have fun, which is what should have been the most important aspect of it all. One of those carry’s was a person who has a certain health condition that does not allow them to move as fast as others. It served as a reminder / and lesson that some of us have these abilities and are a little more fortunate than others to have them, and we have been taking it for granted. Moral of the story: Just have fun. It’s not important what other players are doing- if you’re enjoying the game, that’s all that matters! Cheers 🥂

  • It's a video game ffs. Why play it if you don't enjoy it? There are so many others out there! I was a the division(2) junkie once, but the second that game became unenjoyable to me, I uninstalled it and haven't played it since, and I don't really see me ever coming back to it. I'm sure I'll do the same with Destiny, as soon as it becomes unenjoyable.

      Agreed. Personally, I stopped having fun playing the game. I even tried to force myself. It's very hard to care anymore about the game imo. Sometimes I feel the itch to play, but it feels so punishing to play for all kinds of reasons talked about ad nauseam in here, Reddit, Twitter, etc. 100%, games should be fun to play.

        • First.....great post. To add some perspective I am 80 years old and have been playing Destiny from the beginning. I was 72 when I stood in that line at Game Stop for the midnight release and then home to load up the disc....I had always been a solo player until way into D1 when I discovered the 100io. I made a few playing friends then who pull me into raids (and even the easier GMs) when they have openings.... The difficulty has always been trying to find a small group of people who will commit to playing in 6 person activities on a regular basis so folks can get better and maybe have a beer night together. I have been in several clans over the years and in a number of others on the 100io for coordinating activity and even here it is hard to schedule with the purpose of upgrading skills and understanding the mechanics. It would be nice if once players reach the pinnacle cap on equipment and have power bonuses high enough to get them into any activity.....consider helping others.... As for me....my only drawback is age...hahaha....can't stop that though I can still have fun....

        • Well said. There have been times I’ve done exactly the same. If you care about something, it’s easy to drift into taking it a little too seriously. There are plenty of things in life to worry and stress about. Playing video games really shouldn’t be one of them.

          • That was very satisfying. Sadly, way to many community members idea of fun is kicking when you are down and reveling in it. (What are we to do? By your own standard they are just having fun). Same goes for eager edge users... People suck. Adapt or be mad.❣️

              • There was a time for me - from D1 to about 3 months into Forsaken, where I “needed” to get everything, every week, every god roll etc. Serious FOMO. Took a break until just before BL (The Assassins Creed days 😂) and since then, I just see the game as a fun escape. I get to play a space wizard throwing fire and lightning about whilst shooting stuff. I play for the story and the lore now, and it’s just plain fun 👍
