Have faith. This is Bungie we're talking about. Yes, they were rushed by Activision, and yes, the story is... limited, but they are listening, and they are going to make this game even better. Look at the immense support they gave for Reach until the bitter end, and that was a game they knew they'd be kicked off of within a year or two. This is something they want to persist, to continue in iterations for a decade. People won't buy 2 without a solid 1, and tehy have a big interest in making this as good as they can. They'll expand it, just be patient. Play something else and come back once in a while until the expansion. It'll only get even better from here.

Your post and the ensuing comments touch on a vital problem. For some reason, people seem incapable of liking the game and simultaneously acknowledging its' flaws. I don't get it. While I can feel it looming nearby, I haven't hit the wall 100% yet. It helps that I tend to get lost in randomness while on Patrol. I can't count how many times I have spent an hour farming for mats I didn't need in the slightest just because a buddy and I were in an engaging conversation. Some days I don't feel like playing on my Titan after I do the bounties though, so I created a Hunter and a Warlock. I got enough Hunter gear while playing as a Titan that I jumped from LVL 20 to 25 in seconds on my Hunter and I have Legendary boots for my Warlock (Radiance is actually pretty cool). I don't play the PVP either. I don't mean to pretend that I have inside knowledge or anything, but it seems to me that Bungie was banking on this game's PVP being Halo popular. I'm betting they thought it would pad the lack of content to some degree. Hell, I played over 8000 online matches of Halo 3 and Reach, so I get where they might have gotten that idea. However, it doesn't do it for me. While it can have moments of fun, the netcode in this game is hands down, no contest, the absolute WORST I have ever seen. I am not exaggerating in the slightest. This makes Battlefield 4's worst day look like like sunshine and rainbows. I'm sure someone will blame my internet connection, but I have done everything in my power to troubleshoot and I do not have this issue with any other real time application. I posted a detailed thread about it in #Help with test results to many different US servers measuring both bandwidth and line quality but no employee ever responded in any way. It helps that my girlfriend, her son, and my best friend all play this game with me and are all at varying levels of progression. That helps me not feel like the game is becoming stagnant. It was exciting to level characters again and I feel like I will be able to give unbiased feedback on other classes now that I will have experienced them firsthand. After all, it's hard to be objective when you just got insta-killed by a Bladedancer for the 15th time that day. I have never questioned the game design decisions that a developer made so many times on a title before. To be clear, I really do like the gameplay in this game. Thing is though, there is almost nothing in the game that I wouldn't have done a good bit differently. You can't do anything with ships? Why are we stuck wearing one set of armor if we want to be LVL 30? I can't change my armor or gun colors to my liking outside of predetermined sets? Eva Lavonte doesn't ever get new shaders? They sell Exotics once a week for currency that is easily obtained, thereby breaking the rarity of said loot? No progression of any kind in the PVP? No skill based matchmaking? Why no Ghost shells? I could go on, but I won't. I will likely get called an entitled whiner for most of this. I just don't get what Bungie was thinking. I do like the gameplay. That's why I'm still playing it. Right now, the fact that I love my Titan and I still want to try out some of the Exotics are what is keeping me going. That will not carry the game forever though. The game needs an infusion of complexity and content.

I'm done until December, I have done everything Raid on hard and normal All three characters are at level 29 Countless hours of repetitive action Have all the achievements save for the flawless raider and beat a raid with a clan RNG hates my ass so I won't be getting any raid gear, I have ran it at least 6 times and get nothing but shards This DLC better be meaty or I'm probably done for a good while not to mention all the disc locked content that makes me sad And if the ps4 gets another extra strike the Xbox doesn't get... The lack of story is appalling and for them to think its acceptable I pay the same amount for less content is BS

I hit the same wall on both systems(ps4 & x1), yet I keep banging my head on it and I'm not sure why.

Exactly here with you, went back to minecraft to stimulate my mind a little Was fun at first, but once you've got 2 - 3 level 29 or 30's who finish both raid modes (normal and hard, just so it takes longer rather than just hard straight up) it begins to drag, and there's very little point in reputation at this stage, you've got your chosen legendary weapons already and one exotic. I am rank 5 with vanguard, rank 3 with crucible, rank 3 with dead orbit and rank 3 with New monarchy, also hit rank 3 with iron banner, and rank 2 with queens wrath, so there's pretty much no point leveling up reputation, not to mention the raid gear is better than vendor gear anyhow. I really think the exotics and Xur have drowned the game, there's so little to strive for. I have probably 15+ exotics across 2 characters now, 5 of them maxed out, and the rest i never touch because they are useless. Worst part is, it's still more than a month away from the next DLC drop, and these rehashed events won't keep me interested at all.

I'm used to doing this in World of Warcraft. I like the grind and excitement of having a chance at better gear. It's no different with other games like call of duty where you grind for prestige after you hit end game. This game has a ton of potential with expansions and the ability to change a lot of aspects on the fly.

3 weeks I was a fanboy. I loved this game and couldn't get enough of it. I spent my time on the forum defending both Bungie and their game. Now I'm so goddamn bored with this game that I'm impatiently waiting for DAI to launch. I have continued to stress that the simple act of adding new daily activities could clean up this game's monotony. New patrols, new bounties, and new public events could go a long way. But nope -- we're doing the same daily shit we did months ago in the beta. Living game with staggered content my ass.
