RIP to the casuals bye byeee

You want your meat before eating your vegetables. Finish what's in front of you

This point goes towards hardcore players as well. I play almost on a daily basis, as BA launched, all my characters were 600 light level. On launch day, I was only able to get as far as being able to launch the forge. Can't even defeat the forge. Casual players are not alone on the frustration. So far, only people I know that were able to get past the forge are people who have no jobs or content creators. Speaking as someone who has a job and other responsibilities but makes time for the game anyway, I am just as frustrated. I look forward to seeing what the TWAB will say and how they will carry themselves while the community, as a whole, is beyond frustrated.

I'm sick of Bungie ripping off solo/casual players. Forsaken was meant to be the great turning point and it appears all the fireteam players loved it. I ended up spending so much time in the Dreaming City I amassed about 2.5 thousand 'Baryon Bough' (no I wasn't farming for it) and all that time I never found any others doing the Blind Well. Still haven't unlocked my other 2 additional supers, couldn't do the raid, never had an exotic drop despite killing thousands of enemies. I'm angry and disappointed beyond belief as Bungie markets D2 as "play how you want; solo, multiplayer co-op...". So anyway Black Armory arrives, I'm playing through the mission to unlock your first weapon, got my first exotic drop since finishing the Forsaken campaign, and what do I get, probably my 50th duplicate of 'Hallowfire Heart' that I've received since D2 started. No new Forsaken or Black Armory exotic, no just a crappy exotic from the vanilla game. So I swallow my fuming anger and continue with the mission and then that turns into a fireteam activity at a light/power level miles above mine so again I'm locked out of this. I'm player who been around since D1 where solo/casual players where constantly being shat on by Bungie and since then your team seems to have turned screwing over us into almost an art form. I'm tired of paying good money to Bungie for content I'm locked out of. So now watch the trolls attack as when a solo player voices their concern the fireteam players/trolls think they have a God given right to tell us we don't belong in this game etc. etc.

All Bungo had to do was be specific. End game content. WTF does that even mean? End game for the first season or what? Probably not the same to everyone. Just be honest, tell the community, but that would have cost them $$, so they tried to sneak it in. The last raid was "end game content" and you didn't need to be 600 to do it. The first raid was "end game content" at the time, didn't require max LL. They tried to be slick, got caught and now they are getting their PeePee spanked. Next time be honest with the community

It is an endgame add-on. That's not bs, that's exactly what they told us.

it IS an end game add on you down. wtf do u not even look at what ur buying? casual salt is real cuz they are too stupid to use their eyes

u get what u give, meaning the time u spend in the game will be equivalent to what u can get out of it. do u expect sumone who works 40hrs a week get paid more than those 40hrs? nope. so put in the overtime and get to grinding. u r hardly at 560 and its been 3 months. U GET WHAT U GIVE. sorry. no other way around it.

Imagine how all us player who play the game actively felt getting to 600 in the first place and then be told, needs more grind. We've known for a long time all of us DLC's are money grabs thats why game from the 90's and early 2k's didnt have DLC's often, they released expansions which were essentailly a game entirely its own. If the game didnt make it, it didnt make it now its lets see how many times we can paint a piece of shit gold and see how many suckers buy it (not excluding myself here). Its a business first and a gaming community second, been that way since before the halo trilogy ended.

"I may not have good points, but I know many people agree with me" That made me laugh but you absolutely do have a point. The content rollout seems terrible. I am constantly left in utter confusion when pondering the decisions behind this game. A normal rollout for the content of this smaller dlc should have looked something like the following. First Forge. Playable right away at power level, let's say, 580 recommended. Second Forge. Recommended power level 600. Third Forge. Recommended power 620. Forth Forge. Recommended power 640. Raid. Recommended power 640. Now this is the perspective of someone outside the situation. I don't own the Annual Pass and probably won't get it because of this exact type of thing. The progression systems in Destiny don't seem very well thought out. Sure, some of that is the expected "make players grind to ensure they continue playing" but a lot of it is stuff like this. Releasing a new dlc that no one can play without grinding old stuff outside the dlc... 😕. What are you talking about, Bungie? This is why I can't buy another Destiny game if (when) it comes out in 2020. I hope they don't announce Destiny 3 for 2020 but I know they will. That announcement will prove, once and for all, that they haven't changed. They haven't put any more thought, or time, or effort into Destiny 3 than they did for Destiny 2 and we've seen how that turned out. It took a year for them to get back to the mess that was Destiny year one. Look at the patterns here. Old content is still left behind. Leviathan only drops gear up to 500. Escalation Protocol still gives you armor with no perks. The vendors are all but forgotten. Bungie still renders more and more content worthless with each dlc so that the game never grows. Despite the countless requests they got during Destiny 1 PvE and PvP are still balanced together leading to the same nerf tug o war situation and animosity between the two groups of players we saw in the previous game. The power climb has only gotten less smooth and enjoyable since the first game. They still force you to play content you aren't interested in. It's the same. Everything is the same. They will not improve the game because they haven't learned from their mistakes or even think that they have made any mistakes. Aaaaaanyway, so how was everyone's weekend?

It’s not that difficult to rise 15 points in power before the end of the week. Just do all the milestones and you’ll be able to clear it much easier.

On no! This game has a ton of content you can work towards.
