Bruh, you know how you gotta go to Skywatch and farm for the triumph? The whole reason that exists is because people found a loot cave that the devs left in intentionally in early Destiny, and the bickering between people doing it and saying not to do it got loud enough that they patched it. The serious and realistic tone of Destiny was what drew me in despite it being a shoot and loot in space, but I think the most vocal of the community didn't reflect that, and what has resulted is friggin' Fortnite emotes, handholding and pandering. That and corporate greed has strangled out what would've been a legendary experience.

I just don’t read them… then it doesn’t bring my mood down… I always like to be a kind positive member of the forums

It’s almost like the community is made up of thousands of individuals each with their own personal wants and wishes instead of one big collective. Shocking!

I agree generally but at the same time, Bungie has given this community a lot to complain about especially at certain times and its 100% warranted. They've done a poor job of cultivating the community, managing it, and building actual trust and respect. Ever since the Director's Cut from Season 7 (if you're newer around here and don't know what this is, you really should read it to understand how the game and Bungie got to where they are. Warning its the longest "state of" thing Bungie has ever released) they've been on a very slippery downward slope. Yes, they've had highs, some really good ones along the way but sadly only managed to accelerate their decline exponentially after each high point by removing what players liked, doubling down on what players don't like, then ignoring everyone, while also having an utterly buggy and broken mess (see Season 19, easily the franchise's lowest point from a pure technical perspective). For those who don't know or don't remeber, that was when the game was pretty much unplayable for almost two months due to constant prolonged server outages (one was almost 4 days during Iron Banner and a highly antipacted Nightfall rotation), 3rd party apps being almost entirely down for two whole months, constant emergency fixes, two rollbacks, and disconnections almost every 30 minutes across the board. Error codes were rampant and lots of gear also ended up being disabled during this window. Also Telesto being Telesto and making it worse. If you know, you know and I still don't understand how that happens. Legit the wildest bug I've seen in my entire time from HoW to Lightfall. Back to overall though, Bungie ultimately delivered too little too late far too many times and kept shooting themselves in the foot every single time they got something right. We were on track to an amazing sandbox with the way mods were set up and then they removed them after all the work put in to obtain said mods during Y3 and Y4. Huge seasonal grinds just thrown to the wind. Warmind Cells? Gone. Wells of Light? Gone. Cool strong interactions that required build crafting and changed your playstyle? Gone or simplified AND nerfed. Ultimately, I still am of the opinion the most damaging thing to happen to this game was sunsetting, the DCV, and the general systems direction taken between Y3 and almost up to Y5 paired with the absurd lack of support for Crucible and Gambit during Year 3 excluding the Season 8 competitive rework. The huge sweeping changes that removed so much content, gear, story access, trust, and more set in motions decisions that otherwise never would have been made that continued the trend of a declining sandbox and systems. Even story delivery suffered from removing lore collectables that fueled the Chronicler title which was really the first and last time Bungie gave any actual love to the lore community in game. They got things back on track mostly for Y5 and then ruined everything again with Y6 while also releasing easily the worst DLC we've ever had (across the board, story, music, art, all of it) while going silent and doubling down on what people didn't like and what STILL doesn't work. 1 step forward, 2 steps back. And sadly its been that way since the start excluding Taken King and Forsaken which is why they're so well recieved. Because they took mile long jumps and ran a few more miles after the fact before slowing down. Just go back and look at the franchise between 2015 and 2019. Yes, there was D2Y1 issues and yes things happened here and there but overall the community was excited, confident, and happy and/or content 75% of the time. Bungie was actually working, listening, engaging (most the time), and (mostly) kept the game's identity and leaned into it.

Agreed. Why play a game you despise so much? I’m starting to tell them to quit when they announce to the world that “ me leaving, game bad” post.

This bento box stuff may be just a mini side quest but I'm glad I could get a few neat items. Plus the Drifter and Eris back-and-forth gives me hope for a future tender cinematic scene between the two of them. I'm here for the small bits of wholesomeness.

I agree but love how much fun I get from the drama from some people over something so small. Diamond lance seems to be a hot topic with the whining groups. Just gotta laugh at them.

Nope you’re not the only one who thinks this. Players on these forums are miserable regardless of what’s going on in the game. It’s a lack of mental stability, life balance and proper perspective over a video game.

Lots of free to play children online. Players ALWAYS forget this about the Internet in general

All of this, like the entire event quest-line is MAYBE 30min-1hr long and most can be done in nightmare hunts or one round of gambit, hardest part is gambit specific weapons since nobody really plays gambit like that. People are blowing their tops over a 2-day wait
