While I have a job, 2 kids and life. I'm only able to do this on 1 character. It's not half bad, but I get you, and the fact that the sparrow is tied to having all 3 characters with the solstice armor I think that's a big BS. It should of been tied to just fully getting 1 armor and masterworking it. Rather than having it be tied to getting all 3 characters armor. I dont mind abit of grind like the bad juju, what I did is every day that I've done the bounty and got the discount I bought only 1 or 2 stuff and waited till the next day. Never emptied my resources nor did I rush. But this event, its suppose to be fun, obtainable and within reach of every player. Bungie loves overdoing things, I dont know why, maybe to show ppl are still playing, or make it seem players always logged on. But even on D1 while LL wise and armor I've always managed to get for all 3 characters bu just doing end game stuff, I only ever did every single thing on just ONE character. I just honestly dont have the time. Even if I wanted it to, I wouldn't be able to finish anything if I worked on all 3. Which is why, 1 character only gets the love and attention from me, the other 2 gotta get shafted.

This is a grindy game, if one can't invest time into a grindy game, it probably ain't for you Chief.

I mean you can get to 750 in like a day or 2 even working 40 a week. From 750 you can do whatever you want, I don’t think a single thing is time locked besides solstice so u should just do that for now. That’s what I’m doin and it keeps me busy when I get home from work in a good way so whatevs

I hear that! I can’t play near as much anymore because of my 1yr old and 2nd baby on the way next February. Question that partially relates to this, So I switched from Xbox to PS4 cause of people to play with so I’m playing catch up. Do you or anyone seeing this think it’s worth the 300 silver to bump my 2 other characters power up with Shadowkeep around the corner? If I’m confusing anyone, when buying the Forsaken Collection copy there is an icon next to each character on the main screen before selecting a character to advance them, the first character you pick is free but the other 2 “bumps” for each character cost sum 300 silver. Thanks.

Maybe the need to actually open up the world. True RPG like they’ve always claimed they’d do. Hmmmmmm

You remember what destiny 2 vanilla looked and played like? That was Bungie catering to casuals and people who don’t have time to play. Do we really want to go back to that?

You have a job. Just pay someone to recover your account. No stress no mess

This is to combat the "people racing through the content" complaints made early on in D2. There was a contingent, perhaps a raft, of people complaining that they had nothing left to do; this largely because they didn't like the weapons and gear systems and missed the grind for perfect specs. Instead of returning to a system that largely worked in D1, they came up with all manner of new systems to extend the grind so people couldn't race through the content. So here we are with massive piles of mats required for tributes, and a narrow band of glimmer available at any one time, and limited masterwork, er, infusion core availability (albeit somewhat less limited, now), and lots of steps involving running hither and yon (and back again) to talk to people and gather materials and bop things on the head and shoot things and look at things and jump and run and crouch and walk and duck and shoot and wear and gather, not in and of themselves peculiar or misplaced in a game like Destiny but maddeningly similar to each other in length, tone, and I daresay tedium. There are quest lines that stand apart from the droll and destitute, but we're faced with such daily, weekly, and seasonal under-invention, one can hardly be blamed for apathy, where even "if you just play the game, you'll get the armour set", becomes a chore rather than something we look forward to. I want a richer universe with a wider variety of experience. Bungie has been narrowing that bandwidth with the reduction of gameplay to "kill x-many to get this". No Trials. No factions. Narrow choice of armour and weapons which almost always results in a singular successful loadout without regard to play style. A sudden desire to turn everything into horde-mode (horde-mode is great, but like cranberry sauce, we don't want to be eating it with every meal well into March). I guess it's in some ways easier to do all of these things than to create complex and inviting story lines, places we love to explore and experience and find inviting enough to come back to even when we don't have to kill x-many things to turn in 250 baubles of slickersnot. Keep seeding those places with new things to discover, new encounters to play, new puzzles to solve (that we can solve without having to ferret through the Internet), new characters and creatures. In short, make this game replayable without having to repeat everything. But then, I suppose this is the grail of gaming. I'll keep playing if Bungie keep striving for it. I'll stop (and have stopped in the past) when it appears Bungie have reached the end of their creativity.
