Returning player - pushed me right back out of the game
So,
been gone for a while and now that life slowed down again I figured I would come back and give it a try.
Let me tell you, that was a mistake as bungie has not made this entertaining at all.
I look at Destiny 2 as a looter shooter, where you can play as a hero, feel powerful, defending the world, etc.....
What did I get?
1. A system designed to make this grind like a death march because everything is linked to power level reductions no matter how far you get on the treadmill, you will always feel behind unless everything is set up correctly with no room for mistakes.
2. legacy content has been make completely worthless except I have to attempt to grind it if I want to have any chance for either Strand or Trancendence.... except for no one is running any of that so you are left alone trying to grind up a worthless rep for gear that is trashed.
3. Then to just cap off everything, while trying to run up the treadmill I tripped over the fact that I am now overleveled for Keplar Fabled so I have to try and run "The Message" without a completely metah build or full gear set. Several hours of getting my -blam!- handed to me was sure enjoyable on a Sunday I might as well mow the lawn with scissors for the enjoyment factor with nothing to show for it.
4. And finally gear which is locked hard behind other content so I am never going to see gear in a looter shooter, and I don't just mean the Raid gear but whole armor sets I will never see since I never get to that content.
Ah well I get it a try, and it just reminded me of what I find an enjoyable past time and this is not it. I want to relax not just get frustrated and angry.
Have a great day

Lawn with scissors lol

8 RepliesIt is fairly evident that you have people in positions of power at Bungie that are significantly under qualified for the titles they hold. Which is why the game is in such a dismal state.

1 ReplyEdited by BOOMBOXCOLLOSUSS: 9/2/2025 4:58:15 AMIt's so convoluted and systematically mined soley for profit that it can't stand under the weight of it's own bullshite. So much good content and game locked behind a wall of greed and incompetence that Bungie is literally the poster child for how to fall so hopelessly from grace. This studio will be gone in 3 years. There's a great game underneath all the corruption and arrogance, but the leadership won't let their creatives CREATE. A typical story of corporate sociopaths ruining everything they touch. TThe core game is all there, just locked behind complete incompetence and a complete disassociation from the gamer at this point. Every single Destiny LFG has died and there's next to nobody helping new players in any meaningful way. Someone with real LOVE and vision for the game needs to take the reigns or this game and studio are dead, Destiny Rising is putting Bungie to shame and would Wreck D2 immediately if it was a console/PC release. Simplify the game so people can play what they want with anyone they want or you're DONE. These arbitrary menus, rankings, levels and other superfluous garbage clogging up the game need to be amputated before it kills whatever is left.

2 RepliesSilksong is in two days. Borderlands 4 is next week. Silent Hill and Sonic Racing are at the end of the month. Don't worry. You won't have to wait long for better things to come out.
-
The devs stink. The community stinks. Unless they stop catering to elitist PC snobs and streamers nothing will ever change. Now that is Destiny Rising's problem.
-
4 RepliesHelldivers 2 is pretty great, I'd love to meet more ODSTs and Guardians on the frontlines there
-
Same,just been playing marvel rivals and somehow xenoverse 2.
-
I understand the feeling
-
I hope you find something you enjoy.

12 RepliesBungie really needs to address this soon. Their player numbers are dropping like flies at this point.
-
Agree there is no fun to be had
-
2 RepliesThey are pushing everyone away to go to Destiny Rising and Marathon. The streamers are in on it because they are getting paid and sold their souls.
-
Bungie "Job well done. Another new or returning player is gone."
-
3 RepliesI’m hoping Borderlands 4 is good. I need a good looter shooter to play.
-
Looking at your game history I can’t see any pinnacle activity. (Whisper, encore, starcrossed etc) Those drop bushido gear which is arguably the best stuff for a solo player that likes swords. Also the weapons are some of the best too. Try them out n see. Runs can be super quick with the right mods even running solo.

9 RepliesPost was fine up until your claim about gear. You literally get the new gear by playing the portal activities.. which are free for everyone to play. It takes approximately 10 seconds to pick an activity and launch it.

Too much soy in your diet

6 RepliesWell it has not pushed you away that much. Hell dude you’re almost 300.
