D2 is better than launch-D1. However, D2 isn't even remotely close to being as good as Year 2 D1/TTK. For me, D2 is not fun because there is no reason to go out and "Do stuff." There is nothing worth grinding for. The end-game sucks. Strikes are pointless. You get more from completing a Public Event in 3 minutes than you do for playing a strike for 20 minutes. All of the items that were fun to grind for are gone. Strange Coins, Motes of Light, etc etc etc. Bungie has implemented fake difficulty to the Nightfall by adding a timer instead of actually making the enemies do more damage, and us take more damage. Shaders are now consumables, and get this, apparently they made them consumables "To keep people playing" LOL!! I'm dead. If you wanted people to keep playing, then you should have brought back random rolls. No more random rolls. My gun isn't unique compared to someone else's. No one actually cares that your Better Devils is blue and mine is red. They removed the ability to choose which PvP gamemode we want to play by consolidating all game modes into two stupid playlists, Competitive and Quickplay. The quality of life infusion changes made with Rise of Iron are gone, and completely redone in a way that f*****s us all over. They give us a map, but don't even allow you to see your team mates on the map. And when we mark a spot on the map, our team can't see what we marked. Those two things should be basic additions to the game. The removal of the "Quest" tab. That right there was stupid. We have challenges, Milestones, quests, and not a dedicated tab in the menu to look at all of them? Come on...... The idea to not give your guardian a Sparrow until you hit level 20 is stupid. It's just a way to hide how short the story is so people don't Sparrow through all of it. The time-to-kill on all weapons is too slow. I don't like it. Most Exotics are more unique than they are actually viable. PvP is boring, and too slow. Destiny isn't an E-Sport MLG game so stop trying to make it like Halo. Halo is good as Halo. Destiny isn't. The introduction of Kinetic, Energy, and Power slots was marketed by Luke Smith as a way for us players to have "More freedom" in our loadouts, which is a euphemism for "We made Special weapons damn near useless in PvP. Especially Snipers." I feel like I have way less freedom with the new weapon slot changes. Lost Sectors are boring. I can enter one and kill the boss, then open the chest all within about 60 seconds. After you do all of them once, there is no replay value unless you feel like farming for tokens, in which case is not an efficient way to farm them at all. This is all just my opinion. I shared some of the complaints I have with the game without elaborating on what can be done to change them. I'm not elaborating because I'd be wasting my time. Bungie molds Destiny into the game they want, not the game we want. Destiny 2 is proof of that. There is no need to respond with condescending remarks. You don't need to ask me why I play the game if I don't like it either. EDIT* The amount of hateful and rude responses to this post is disgusting. All I did was give my issues to the game in hopes Bungie would see it and possibly make an effort to change the issues I have that a lot of others have too. I wish Destiny was a community where we could share our opinions and thoughts about the game without being lynched. That would be cool. Also to the people who keep saying "That isn't a fair comparison because D1 had 3 years of content", you're only proving my point. Read the title. It doesn't take a genius to understand that the title suggests that D1 is better than D2 "at the moment", suggesting that can change in the future with added content and changes to better suit what we want. Also by saying that, you're not helping your case at all. You'd think that with a sequel, all of the improvements from the first iteration would come forth to the sequel because that's common sense. By saying "It's to be expected that D2 would suck on launch compared to 3 years of D1" you're indirectly pointing out the incompetence of Bungie. In the event that you "Expect" D2 to not be as good as D1, you're literally saying you acknowledge Bungie's incompetence. You're really not helping your case at all so please just stop embarrassing yourself with that and actually think about what you're saying before you say it.
