Destiny is doomed from hemorrhaging casual players.

Many of us construct articulate, thoughtful arguments regarding Bungie's baffling management of Destiny. Our complaints are not whining or crying. We are not children. We work for a living, have families, and real life obligations. We don't have hours to play every day, and we choose not to spend our weekends on the couch where the only human interactions we have are through a headset. We are willing to work hard for game gear, but finding a group and playing without getting [i]Attention Contacting Destiny Servers[/i] shouldn't be part of said work. And, when lightening strikes and we do hear from Bungie, the response is often snarky, insulting, and illogical. We have every right to complain: Bungie has turned what should have been an epic - and [i]epically FUN[/i] - game into a frustrating, confusing, and unrewarding grind. Their over reliance on RNG, absence of a skill-based reward system, and lack of matchmaking or in-game LFG is deflating and infuriating. Instead of an open world, we were sold endless loops. And before you simply tell me to quit, you should know that if you love Destiny, then you [i]need me[/i]. You need the casual players with some disposable income. You need the students whose parents bought them the game, and can only play around homework and chores. Casual players have bailed from this game by the millions, [i]millions[/i]! This iteration of Destiny may survive this hemorrhaging for a while, but unless Bungie starts catering to MY demographic - and to casual gamers, in general - any future Destiny products are doomed. Exactly! Edit: Thanks to proactive members of this Community, we got the attention of Forbes Reporter Paul Tassi, which, in turn, certainly got Bungie's attention. Check out Tassi's piece from yesterday: [i]If Bungie built Destiny around groups, they need to help players find them. [/i] June 29 Edit: I still love playing multiplayer with my sons, but have zero interest otherwise. I have a bunch of unleveled gear, that as far as I'm concerned, can rot. Now, my interest has turned to trying to keep Bungivi$ion's money-mongering, player-gouging tactics from becoming the norm for game publishers. The loudest noise I can make is that of my wallet closing.

    • Technically trials of Osiris is a "skill based reward system," and people have been freaking out about it. So I really think there is no way for them to win.

      • Just played a round of HoW control. First, the game had to start with 9 because apparently that's how barren the game is. Beyond that, what's Bungie's obsession with non-tactical cluster-blam!- maps? Thrives' Den has to be the shittiest map yet. All corners and branching tunnels. Hey Bungie, want people to stop bitching about shotguns and Thorn? Learn how to design a f**king map that isn't catered to them.

          • I had a ton of time to play this spring. Was fun but getting what I wanted took a lot of play time. Now I have maybe 6 hours a week to play and it just feels not worth it. Nice post. Totally agree.

          • I'm not a casual player, and as soon as fallout 4 is out I'm gone. Hell I barely play anymore anyway. I've been choosing to play guacemelee instead of Destiny, and that is just so sad.

                • I've decided I'm done with Destiny. I just can't stand being frustrated with a game that clearly isn't going to improve. Almost all of my friends have moved on and playing with them was half the fun. Hell I even purchased a ps4 and Destiny just so I could play with them when I already owned it on Xbox one. I kept hoping they'd manage to remove their heads from their asses but have only succeeded in climbing farther up their own rectal cavities.

                    • This a really well written argument and anyone would be foolish to pass this off as a "filthy casual" complaining. Anyhow you make some good points here and I believe Bungie needs to focus on giving future expansions more features for casuals who don't want to grind and then add more challenging features focused on entertaining the bored hardcore player. It's a simple matter of having enough content that it doesn't feel like s repetitive grind.

                      • Bungie only focuses on the new players and continues to lure them in with fancy new things. They are purposefully making the older guns look terrible and are trying to make ttk guns amazing pretty much forcing you to but ttk. Bungie never rewards those who stayed loyal and wants to spoon feed the new players who dont want to grind. I have been blindly following bungie accepting their ideas an defending them from the haters but now i will be moving on to a better game with an amazing company <3 fallout/bethesda

                        • I'll preface this by saying the clan I'm in, who many I know and have met, used to play a ton of Destiny. I now play with a few co-workers who still enjoy the grind since we normally play on Tuesday for the reset and again weekend mornings to finish up things left undone. There is an somewhat of an exodus from Destiny and would likely be a larger one if there were more AAA games available. It really isn't easily accessible for the casual player who doesn't have friends also invested. No one uses the built in chat system. I honestly don't know if it works because I've never heard a random during a strike talk, I've seen them enter the chat though. You have to be a mind reader to know if the randoms want to blow through sections or hang back and fight it out. I have relegated my play time to with friends for scheduled activities or just to run some bounties to level up gear. A dedicated matchmaking system to match players by mission, player level, and mic availability would help. It's been quite a while but if I recall correctly Halo had a similar system for PvP. Totally optional, you choose while booting up the activity whether to be in matchmaking or not. All activities should have this. It's mind boggling that we have nothing in game to assist us in playing together in PvE. In closing, I love playing this game. I love parts of this community, the parts that are fun and can disagree without tossing out OP is a fgt. The part that doesn't care if you're on Xbox or Play Station and just wants to share in triumphs.

                            • Logged in and no one on... Again. Gonna run some Crucible on my Lock since I haven't played it this month. Went to the recruiting section of the forums and it's a -blam!-ing joke. 1) Every post is trials. No one is looking for regular Crucible (lfg sites same thing). 2) The posts all read like this [quote]Running flawless and I need two but you must meet the following requirements: -have a mic -must have gone flawless at least 5 times -be good -must be lvl 34 with 365 weapons -have experience AND THE MOST IMPORTANT -be able to hold yourself! YOU MUST BE A GOOD PvP PLAYER![/quote] 3) F**k your philosophy, DeeJ.

                                  • I agree, I play with my husband and some days end up completely frustrated. I love the game and have improved dramatically in the past few months, since I am completely new to the world of FPS. That being said I am still working hard to reach the level of play required to succeed at PoE at 34 and 35 and ToO. We were forced to reach outside our comfort zone and find friends to do raids with, but even then it has been hard to put together just three that can be successful in either of the new content. We help new players as often as possible only to make it almost all the way through a prison run and have our third bail "because his dad said he had to go". I am not the best PvP person, but I make the effort especially during IB for gear and rewards. I watch people complain daily on the forum and early say anything. I totally love playing destiny but if I can not eventually earn the gear to move me up ranks how can I continue to play. We worked months to get our characters to level 32 before HoW, just to find out that after the Dlc was released you could buy your way to 32. Even though I am sitting on the verge of 3 level 34 characters it is only through careful management of exotics and PoE gear. The so called "elite players" do not seem interested in "helping anyone". Instead they brag about how good they are and litter the forum with complaints about they don't have enough that is special. I understand both sides of the matchmaking system since we typically get dumped in matchmaking if we aren't moving fast enough to suite our third. I do agree that somethings are better suited to teams with mic's but since that is not an option for everyone it makes it difficult for some casual players to succeed at this game. This is not a complaint, just merely an observation. I am not asking anyone to hand me anything I only hope to be able to progress enough to be competitive.
