Just too hard
Sorry, I’ve heard all the arguments… there’s lfg, make friends , nada nada but I’m just finding some of the stuff just too time consuming and unforgiving. ( No save points on stuff for instance ) I used to have fomo but now just don’t bother with new exotics or raids. I still enjoy doing the odd couple of hours but the intensity just isn’t there for me any longer. I wonder how many more feel like this?

Bungie is pandering to streamers so they don’t criticize the game for being too easy… streamers who don’t even partake in the low level activities. The game has gotten too hard in many activities. And the d2 community is way too toxic to use LFG/FTF. You’re right. I agree with you.

2 RepliesSkill issue. Rise to challenge or stay on the shore.

3 RepliesHomie, I’ve been playing for 3 months. Every week I have used the D2 LFG discord to do the weekly raids. I have had almost zero issues completing them with people happy to guide me through them. They’re not that hard. On top of that, me and my buddy who I play with have duo’d every dungeon pretty easily, and I’ve solo’s 3 of them I am sorry to hear you’re having a rough go around, but this is in fact a skill issue/social anxiety issue. Bungie can’t cater to all

2 RepliesYou want the truth? About 2/3 of those who purchase the game Look at player numbers post basically the last couple of big content drops. Most are long done chasing the next item to be nerfed into the ground

I have virtually no interest in raids. Tried them in D1, the sub-playerbase for this activity seems to attract ridiculous people, did Crota and never tried another again (maybe King's Fall attempts, I didn't commit for the same reasons). I'd like to try Dungeons because they tend to have gear I'd like to try but I keep putting one off and I'm not getting 'Dungeon Keys' for the others. GMs are gimmick modes, not even Destiny. Just tedious. I play Rituals most my playtime. Didn't even get the expansion this year. Funnily enough I seem to be enjoying the game more than people who binge all of those mentioned activities.

Same. Could do, don't want to. The time versus reward ratio isn't worth it, especially since the story of the Witness has been, for all practical, ended. I play about an hour every two weeks now, down from when I fully used all three of my Guardians and pursued everything. I don't really have any specific complaints other than the game doesn't excite me anymore and I have tons of games in my backlog to look at.

2 RepliesCan somebody PLEASE explain how not finding the game fun anymore as being a skill issue??? Skill has nothing to do with many of us no longer finding the game enjoyable. It used to be. We used to spend tons of hours daily, everyday. Used to help others out with raids, dungeons, ect. We had and still have all the skill needed to solo dungeons, complete raids and GM NF's, but just find it such a long BORING grind that it simply is no longer fun. Granted if I ran them enough and with the right people we could rip right through them but yeah, getting back to that point with the current state of the game. Sorry I have better, funner, non-gaming things I choose to do. So again how is not having fun a skill issue???

2 RepliesEdited by lazyandy: 7/25/2024 7:12:28 AMFirstly very brave of you to write this. This is a forum where most ppl will simply write ‘skill issue’, ‘git gud ’ or some other brainless throwaway comment and chuckle to themselves afterwards. I have been playing Destiny since the original alpha - I thoroughly enjoyed final shape and all its content with the exception of the SE raid. Seems to me this game is all about timers and constant ad spam. It creates an artificial difficulty where you are constantly encouraged to multitask. This is great for streamers during a worlds first but for the average Joe it becomes an exercise in stress after probably a highly stressful day at work. I can no longer be bothered to watch a dozen YouTube videos of the verity encounter or download a calculator for symbols etc. D2 is rapidly becoming a spectator sport. I would really like to see SE participation numbers compared against the other raids. This game has lost its power fantasy completely- pointless defeating literal gods when a couple of dregs can take you down on patrol… I’m at peace with things now campaign complete and my job is done. Of late I have been thoroughly enjoying the first descendant - where build crafting is generally enjoyable and you can actually see the meaningful results when you play activities. Take my advice if you are feeling burnt out, maybe it’s time to step away? There are many other games out there that respect your time and effort. Games that do not nerf abilities once a streamer posts a dozen videos entitled ’broken’ - those people are slowly killing this game.

2 RepliesI hear you. Lately I just don’t feel like playing Destiny anymore. The entire game has become a huge slog fest with little or no reward for the time you put in. RNG pretty much guarantees that even if you manage to go through LFG hell and get a FT together, the chances of you getting what you want at the end of an end game activity are slim to none. So what’s the point?! Then on top of that, Bungie has taken away almost every way to get Pinnacle gear as a solo player, and the few that are left are also subjected to horrible RNG, so I don’t even want to try anymore. Doing the same activities over and over again ad nauseam with almost no chance to be rewarded for my time and effort is not my idea of fun. I used to look forward to playing regularly because I felt like there was something to be gained, some progress being made, but lately I just don’t see the point. And what a shame that is, because this game is STUNNINGLY beautiful! Nothing else looks like it or plays like is. The gunplay and weapons are the absolute BEST! Nothing remotely compares to Destiny 2. But with all it has going for it, crappy RNG, limited vault space, repetitive activities with meh rewards, and not much for solo players to achieve (which is how a majority of the player base plays despite Bungie trying to force us to be more social), makes this great game gawd awful boring.

2 RepliesThe rewards and pacing made sense for a power fantasy game where you can have goofy fun blowing up aliens with your guns and buddies but not for a tedious grind game. It’s very obvious that Bungie made TFS for a specific audience and they are learning that such an audience is a loud minority.

1 ReplyThey put -5 even on patrol and strikes so that should tell you what about them trying to pad the time by making everything as time consuming as possible Don't give them anymore time and money, that's the only way to tell them

2 RepliesI resemble these remarks. Used to play 6-8 hrs/day, now it's a rare week I do that.

3 RepliesI TOTALLY AGREE!!! Is this not why they added GrandMaster Nightfalls and Master Dungeons. Even in D1 we had raid challenges. So why the living heck do we have to waste a couple of mags on simple ads? Did not the normal player complain endlessly on how not fun it was to do anything on Neomuna because everything was just bullet sponges and just not fun? Yet what did they do, they have now made everything harder to kill. Yet little scrubs that should only be able to tickle us now one shot us in simple strikes. Yep Destiny is at its end with me. I only the week before release caved and pre-ordered FS. I'm glad I did just for the final story since I've played Destiny since day 1. But I shall not be buying anything else in the Destiny universe unless titanic changes, including moving to a new, modern, game engine, happens. As with last season I'll be playing just whenever I need a stress break and just don;t want to do anything but lay on the floor for an hour, and dream of the release of the new Elder Scrolls or something.

4 RepliesEdited by Why is this happening?: 7/25/2024 6:27:05 PMTbf raids haven't been enjoyable for years. The only ones who still care about them are the ones who race for worlds first, because it makes them feel special. At the end of the day, nobody actually cares.

1 ReplyI hate how they started timelocking -blam!-, especially with Dual Destiny.

When a career becomes a job, it's time to quit. People love their careers, but hate their jobs. Destiny is no different. Just a tiresome job with minimal pay!

15 RepliesAs soon as Bungie started listening to parasite streamers the game went to crap real fast when it comes to difficulty. Bungie really doesn't care about the normal person in this game, just those who overreact with everything and stream

1 ReplyHow many of these posts did you put up?

You’re not alone it’s more time consuming and it seems like everything is a a quest. I run solo and that alone takes more time.

4 RepliesI think any new activity, raid, dungeon yada yada should cater to all levels of player. Meaning how much easier would it be to learn "said" new activity if there wasn't a raid token and you weren't punished from an untimely death extending game time in said activity. You had time to learn but could still progress and have fun and not stress. If the diehards find it too easy then you have a higher difficulty that they can partake in and give more rewards, a shader, ghost any matter of cool exclusive loot that the beginners could work there way towards if they so desired. all I do now is play for me, level up, collect the rolls I want and prepare for when I'm called upon for higher level activity which becomes more rare with each passing season. in the end it's all about having the right shader on!

1 ReplyI solo the legend mission easier than with my friends. So why would I group? They actively discourage grouping. Also I'm not looking to a video game for accomplishment Im playing for fun not some accolade. They should revert the changes it's a looter shooter not a hardcore fps. I just am looking for fun in a video game not an artificial power lock so this expansion feels longe since it was a filler and they don't have anything else.

2 RepliesIt’s not that the game is hard, it’s that a lot of the game’s mechanics and game knowledge aren’t well communicated by the devs. The game really opens up and becomes pretty trivial once you understand buildcrafting fundamentals and get a good easy build going. Of course the struggle comes from trying to find someone who is willing to help guide and teach instead of insult.

Exactly. Seems like they are catering to certain player base Although i like the episode content except enigma protocol i cant complete it

5 RepliesAll I'm seeing is that bumping the difficulty solved your FOMO. Easy W.
