Dear Bungie,
You know, looking at old quotes, at design documentaries, at everything that existed about this game PRIOR to launch, I can not shake the feeling that I keep playing Destiny because I wish I was playing what YOU advertised and sold each and every one of us on.
I bought into the Destiny "dream". A open persistent world, where everything you see is playable..........With gear, and classes and specializations. A game where "every Guardian would be unique". I bought into the "epic" and into "becoming legend". And I am not going to lie, as much as I might complain about what's wrong here, I do not hate this game. I still play this game in the hopes that you deliver on what was promised while trying to sell this game to the public. False advertisement in every way shape and form. I STILL play this game, mostly because it reminds me of the things I liked about you, and about your games.
It made a great first impression. There are puddles of Tang and things are colorful, skyboxes are gorgeous, art and modelling are top notch. I can say there are few things that come close. Your world is not brown. Its not Black, or dark green. For all the gloom of the darkness, your world is gloriously colorful. Full of life and promise.
-blam!-, just today, doing a mission, I wandered into an area of Venus that is not used for anything. And probably will never be. In it, there is a pillar and some very interesting architecture that, having seen the rest of the game, exists nowhere else. Just like that cave in the coast in Russia. Or all the nooks and crannies in Mars and the moon. And I keep hoping to find something, for something to happen. To find some plot, some fun, some vehicles, some interesting weapons. My whole journey through your game my breath was held for the moment I'd hit the content YOU SOLD US ON.
And we soldiered on. We soldiered on until we found ourselves looking at each puzzled after the Black Garden mission.
Surely something was wrong. No way the game is done. What about Rasputin? And about the hive, and the moon, and the shards? What about Venus? and about the Reef?
We thought that, like in many other games, something would change in the post game and we'd find some answers, plot, a story, anything. Your game doesn't start until 20 and we were 18 or so.
So we made 20. We saw your real game: Endless recycled grind. Then endless hours spinning in circles to get the materials to upgrade them. And endlessly repeating the same missions which play in much the same ways to get the shards and coins for them.
Is this the real game? The game that starts at 20? Is this some sort of sick joke?
Where is the mission variety? Everything playable in this game is recycled content. Lol come on, am a taking crazy pills over here? Are you all not playing the exact same missions, bounties, minuscule pool of strikes as I am. It's like Groundhog Day all over again when i log on. This is clearly not the game you advertised??
You said the game started at 20. So where is it?
I could tell you of how we used to joke that the ability to talk with our team in our crucible was in DLC. I could tell you of how we stood in front of a cave reloading once in a while. I could tell you of hours spent running in circles looking for shiny green blinking lights. I could tell you of getting shards after a nightfall, and getting chatterwhite after chatterwhite. But I think you know. And I think these days, you lousy sit back and laugh, laugh, laugh.... Funny thing is, it's the truth..
Destiny is nothing but a random reinforcement schedule Skinner box where we peck for hours hoping for a reward which might, or might not ever come.
And its not that you don't have it in you anymore. Jesus, the raid is great. Roles are great. Strategy is great. You did not lie when you said it would be taxing and fun, but sorry, it's not difficult. And I can't understand why the rest of the game is not like that. Why every mission consists of waiting on dinklebot to open doors. Why there is little weapon variety, and vehicles are pretty much only a memory. Why there is no story, or plot, or why you didn't even see fit to name your characters. 3 attributes? THREE?? Thats it? A insanely minuscule pool of perks that are just jumbled on armor and weapons?? Thats customization? What happened to every Guardian will be unique? Ummmmmm have you looked around the tower at any given time, i see my doppelgänger repeatedly every time i log on. Its laughable.
I have a problem with you stating you'll fix the reasons we stood in front of a cave in the first place while really changing nothing much. And with you replacing strategy and tactics in the Raid with a RNG because, hell, we need more of those right? I have a problem with there being no rewards, or any sense of advancement whatsoever, or anything to see, or do, or explore. I have a problem with you treating us like idiots, calling things "bugs" when its clear they were not, calling things "new content" and "exciting events" when you are just giving us the same stuff in exactly the same way. It's the exact same content with a new shiny name attached?!?!? Recycled content, rinse and repeat.
You don't need to artificially gate what little content you have. Any person with half a brain knows its all there to be played.
Throw some interesting triggers in all those caves and locations where nothing happens. Give us events with rewards of meaning and variety.
You want this to last ten years......
So do we, so cut the crap and release the game and content YOU SOLD US ON. Does that sound fair? I'm not even going to bring up the DLC, that is a joke in itself. Speechless when it comes to that.
A long time fan,

Edited by StrangerDude: 5/20/2015 11:28:30 AMLurtz you are god damn right.... I played this game for 3 weeks (or you could say i haven't played it for 5 weekes). Why??? ...'cause its boring as hell. I have no interrest of grinding the same things over and over and over and over.... NO,NO bungie you betraied us gamers( i say gamers, because i think there aren't any fans anymore). In my area in germany there is something the people say" wer den karren in den dreck fährt zieht in selber raus" it means if someone gernerated a problem, he should solve the problem on his own, We player will not supporting you solving your problem. We are your costomer, DO WHAT YOUR COSTOMER WANTS FROM YOU OR GET FIERED. I think you and activision have 2 options 1. Do nothing and lose the trust from everybody and probably everything you made in the last years. 2. Make better DLCs for free!!!!!!!!! ( i read everything of dark bellow and its a sick joke, some gear, 3 missions, 1 strike, 3 new pvp maps, 1 raid and lvl cap 32 lightlevel for 20 € or $ whatever) you can make a fair prize for content, but first you have to make the game itself complete! I might play the next 2 dlcs because i already got them with the limited edition of destiny, but properbly you will lose me as costomer for ever if you don't get your ass working
