Too much of the game has been made inaccessible to the casual player. It was bound to happen eventually. If you listen to a vocal (yet loud) minority you will of course win plaudits and accolades. However you risk alienating a very large chunk of your player base who jump on in the evenings after a full (and at times stressful) day at work. L The casual has become somewhat of a dirty word on this forum but whatever your thoughts maybe about it this game simply needs numbers to function properly. I have 4000 hours in destiny which probably look like rookie numbers to some of you that do little else but play this game 24/7. But myself and many others in the same boat have now completed the excellent campaign and have come to the realisation that the promise of acts has turned out to be yet more of the same. I would have always completed the seasonal story but now I really just can’t face logging on and the more time that passes the easier that is to do. As they have admitted they have clearly spread themselves to thin rather than focusing on their base. I am very sad to hear of all the talent that has now suffered as a result. Some accountability surely needs to reside with upper management but I don’t see anyone falling on their swords… If I were them I would put all my effort into making Marathon a fresh and thrilling experience as at present I and many others have little reason to return to a 10 year old title that is really starting to show its age now when you look at Nexons glossy coated alternative.

  • I used to mindlessly throw myself into strikes a couple years ago. I only hop on to get my 3 daily Khepris Horn Clips and to look at shaders.

  • I am applauding you dude. Listening to the people that actually PLAY GAMES for a living that constantly ask for everything to be harder vs the casual player that just wants to chill and run a raid instead of sweating their balls off for some shitty loot led to mass abandonment. Well now they're left with the streamers and even they are jumping ship.

  • I’m considered a casual player. I have 39 seals, three of which are raid seals (plus MMXX, MMXXI, MMXXII and MMXXIII) and I’m a 9x gilded conqueror. I’m the casual that people talk about here. I’m the guy who doesn’t set foot in the new raid. I’m the guy who did Dual Destiny once and won’t do it again. I’m the casual in this game.

  • You should ask some of the people in your life what it's like to have a family and a good job.. Thoes stories might inspire you to be the guy that is so successful in real life, he has only a few hours a week to play any games. Circle back and let us know how that works out

  • Thanks for the random condescending bs answer that has literally nothing to do with me. No idea what issues you’re working on but you can get out of my face with that nonsense.

  • Totally agree with you. The definition of hardcore on here effectively means you are top 10% or are not worthy to comment. I also have done every raid in the game, tried SE and got to the second encounter with my regular group then backed out. The aspirational content has become the playground of the elite. I can no longer be bothered to watch hours of videos or download some ingenious shape calculator for the verity encounter. Props to anyone that can be bothered with that - personally I feel my time is better spent elsewhere where my efforts are rewarded.

  • 100% agree. A raid encounter that needs a cheat sheet to dissect and look at everyone's outfit is not a good encounter. Thanks streamers.

  • I think there’s a lot of truth in that last sentence. I’m going with touching some grass for now. Seems to agree with me a lot more than bending over backwards to meet the ridiculous time and skill requirements of this game.

  • But that is easier now more than ever lol. Like this game is pathetic easy to play and learn. I’m honestly here for the Sony merger it was bound to happen. Look bungie has achieved what they wanted out of D2, it’s not going to die. I still love to the game even through its high and lows. I don’t have every seal. Not about that at all. I play the game cause you know what it feels better than any other live service shooter out there. Hate Call of Duty can’t stand that mess. Idk a lot of people on here love to bash bungie when they’re at their lowest point again. You know it was only a month ago everyone was so hyped for the dlc and giving it high reviews everywhere. You what would be good for you to due us too take a break and stop complaining on the forums. Not everyone plays that game for to have everything. Been here since the beginning as well and plan on seeing out this year of content cause I paid for it. Could care less about their new game either I’m not buying cause I don’t care for extraction shooters as well. 🤷‍♂️

    Sorry if I trigger your Stockholm syndrome but I’m going to voice my opinion here as much as I want and I don’t care if you like it or agree with it. The game is not easier than ever. That’s not a subjective question. The difficulty has been raised, light level has zero effect, lowest strike difficulty has straight up been deleted, old content puts you 5 under level and most people don’t touch the new raid because it is too tedious. (Edit: And don’t get me started on all the exotics that have been nerfed into oblivion …) Also, we complain because we provide feedback and have been providing it for years only to be ignored and the result being what happened now. It’s people like you who are bad for the game. You just agree with everything and you stand next to the sinking ship applauding. That’s not support, that’s just dumb and counterproductive. So why don’t you do us a favour and stay out of the forums unless you have something meaningful to contribute..

  • Don’t rise to the baiting bud - our ‘BeyondConfusion’ keyboard hero here who finds the game a breeze has barely even raided… And as for giving your opinions they are free so keep on giving em! Whether you rustle someone else’s silly sensibilities or not! For the record all of us are upset I imagine with the layoffs - the problems are at a higher level which bungie have admitted themselves. If we have had a long term investment in the game we can offer our thoughts plain and simple.

  • You know what non of our opinions matter at all. It’s called an opinion. Idc at all what you have to say the game is pathetically easy in my opinion. You see it’s my own opinion and yours as well. Telling me to go away is laughable lol. The only reason bungie is in this situation is cause the current state our the American systems in place. Honestly jumping on the hate bandwagon isn’t cool either. Most of the people who were let go was actually people who wasn’t doing much at all from what I’ve read. Plus this was bound to happen. I’ll stay by my statement that game is pathetically easy. But oh well my opinions don’t matter just like yours don’t either. Go touch some grass lol
