Facts! I DO have plenty of god rolls and can make triple 100s builds with ease and I still do NOT like the increased difficulty changes or the unbelievably bad RNG when it comes to loot drops and/or weapon focusing. It’s simply not fun. But Bungie has lost its way in an attempt to appease the bored streamers who play D2 for a living.

[quote] It is not FUN and ENGAGING gaming.[/quote] Of course not, this business spends way too much time looking for ways to add all the BS in gaming instead of looking for ways to improve the players experience. It was bad when Activision was around with some things, but not as bad as things are now and they still refuse to pull their head out of the sand. I hope Sony gets on their -blam!- big time or at least does a complete overhaul to get some people that know how to run a game. This game doesn't need people who only look for ways to milk a player base, a dying one at that.

I'll keep saying it. If people want a harder experience, they can handicap themselves [i](we have transmog to keep looks)[/i] and equip all white gear. Don't want to do that? Then its not about enjoying difficulty. When people enjoy things they get creative and that's where ingenuity hits. Upping difficulty in programming gives everyone zero choice, and that pisses people off, because nobody asked for it save for some elites. Respectfully, nobody should ever be catering to these people because their numbers are comparatively low to the rest of the base, and they can actively make choices to make it more difficult for themselves. That is why I personally feel all of those arguments are completely invalid. I don't want it to seem like a disrespect, its just logical to me. Catering to the few, makes it miserable for the majority. As far as engram focusing, I made a post too and have commented in a few other places too, but its just stupid. Horrible decision and this game will get hit hard for it.

What we need at this point is a game changer not ANOTHER new subclass of the light and none for stasis and strand Maybe add a new armor type "Unique" *Armor 3.0 armor sets that actually have better set effects that effect abilities *Unique Buffs and effects when using dark and light subclasses and weapons together *Stop being afraid to combine certain rolls * More exotic paring like Multi tool and mini tool *Lost sectors PERIOD needs better loot besides legendary and master make new players want to explore and farm them * IB needs the same love as Crucible, vanguard, gambit with increase rolls on reset *Major Open World Bosses with raid heath that drop exclusive loot not destination loot *Hidden bosses and secrets in the Open world solo areas We reached the point not even new enemies will be enough to save this game the Ow need a major update all destination be nothing more then -blam!- event grind locations

Holy crap the trailer isn’t even out and yall already already complaining. Btw I know there is a teaser but there has been no season trailer yet

Bungie need to be making serious changes, instead all they do is tinker about with things no one cares about. Like the time they spent effort putting all that info on emblems .. that literally no one asked for. I am genuinely struggling to care about this game now and often just want it to end. I log in, see there is nothing there I really want to do as it's all the same stuff every week and mostly unrewarding, and log out. I have done a couple of public events and half a game of Iron Banner since Tuesday. I like the gunplay but that's fading rapidly. Most people's complaints about the Lost Sectors are that the exotic drops are way too rare. Bungie's answer ?? .. Put drops of world loot pool weapons in with an extra perk. Well colour me unimpressed. Who asked for that ?? .. Instead of a bigger chance of getting what we want we got an almost certain chance of getting something that we don't, and that doesn't matter. But hey, it increaes the grind and keeps us in game apparently because then we might, just might, buy that overpriced tat from tess in the Rip Off Emporium. Dragons Breath returning ?? .. Don't care. Once again what we bought once is being sold back to us just like Gally. It'll be popular for a week and then become a permanent vault fixture. The new season ?? .. Standby for another weekly morsel of story, drawn out over however many weeks. Another repetitive tedious horde mode and a seasonal track that will be the same as last season. And the one before that. And I am betting the Ahamkara will be female. And probably end up in an interspecies realationship with the giant Cod Sloane trips out with on the weekend. I hope Savathun is in it though, she is the only genuinely interesting character in this game but even she is being given cringe lines like "It looks good on you honey". Really a Hive God talking like a Vegas streetwalker ?? .. She's going down the Cayde route where his humour was milked to the point he became a paraody of himself. Bungie need to be rebuilding the house, all they are doing is a lacklustre coat of paint in certain rooms. Here's an idea .. put Vex Incursion on Bullet Sponge World on a timer of say ten minutes like Public events and make it drop every two hours. Because since Lightfall launched I have seen two. People might then go to Neomuna and play it. Because no one loves your game enough to hang around there hoping it drops. Which it wont. And even if it does you have to go to a third party app to get a team. Go back to the last D1 Iron Banner and do that. Just like that. I want to play Iron Banner for Iron Banner gear. Weapons, ships, armour, sparrows, ghosts and shaders. Not the bland rubbish that we get now, it's just all the stuff I am not bothered about from things I cant be bothered with anymore. I am not going to Level 16 for a shader. Nope. Oh look, another Engram from an activity I don't care about. Yay. Make strikes worthwhile with specific loot like we had in D1. Give me a reason to do them. And take the battle grounds out and put all the strikes we ever had in them. Nightfall Pyramidion ?? .. count me in. Nightfall Nokris .. yes please. I want to play these strikes, I miss them. I need some new stuff to keep me interested. Even if you cant bring them all back as updating them will be a big job, how about bringing three back a season and having them as the designated Nightfall strikes ?? .. Or how about bringing back Prison Of Elders but updated and rewarding, maybe a story of redemption or punishment for Variks in there somewhere ?? .. That kind of thing. Stop smelling your own farts Bungie and do what players are asking for instead of dreaming up stuff no one cares about and acting like it's what we've been dreaming of. Most of what players actually want is reasonable and would mean they would hang around. Because right now there are those that have gone and those who are about to. I barely play anymore. Bored of so much in this game and nothing I see coming interests me. I don't want to run a strike, sorry yet another battleground, for 2 shards, a weapon way below my light level I wont use and an engram that will almost certainly be something I don't want. Gambit could be a riot, instead its ten minutes of sympathy invades for the other team as soon as you get ahead .. "Ah, are they beating you, here you go have an invade as a widdle pwesent" .. rubbish, just rubbish. Waste of my precious time on this planet. I want to go into Gambit and smash the other team in a world of chaos. There should be no invades until you bank 100 motes and then .. its a free for all. And the first team to get 100 gets the Drifter joining you to help you crush the weaklings on the other team. Chaos is fun. Just get out of your own way, LISTEN to your players for once. Not saying all my ideas are top drawer but there are a lot of good ones out there. We want to be involved. Help yourselves for pity's sake.

My two cents ✌️ I enjoy Voidwalker 90% of the time. If a strike has arc /strand surge and I wish to use void, then a mod or buff will dictate "how I should play" this particular week and not skill. Which "meta/ exotic" I need to get it done faster, and not what I like using. I personally like more ad density because I feel more of the power fantasy there. Pumping rounds from my primary into a bullet sponge boss because I don't happen to have heavy ammo kills all the momentum IMO. I jumped on my daughters account to play on her warlock, which has average gear and a few exotics. Felt slightly handicapped by the gear but again, to your point, not a skill issue. Still on a voidwalker, can still do activities. Lack of certain gear is very noticable. 99% of the focused rolls are trash 40's and 50's base maybe up to 62. Only the seasonal one happens to drop decent gear, but even that is if you own the season.

I have very rarely gotten the roll I wanted from focusing. Since some time before Witch Queen, every world weapon I’ve gotten with the roll I want I purchased from Banhsee. It’s never a “joyful” random drop. I have never gotten the roll I want on a single dungeon weapon from any dungeon, ever. I have gotten exactly one IB weapon roll that I want in the last….over a year, even with focusing. This return to the “joy” of the random drop isn’t it. I’m playing SIGNIFICANTLY less because of it. I cannot accurately express how much making dungeons weapons craftable alone would dramatically improve my experience and increase my play time. Playing more because you get what you want through a reasonable amount of time and effort and can then try those weapons out with builds > playing more because you’re not getting what you want 99% of the time from any given activity or drop source. Any given activity or loot source being disappointing 99% of the time is just objectively bad design. It’s discouraging and just plain not fun. Bungie talks about player agency for chasing rolls but it’s SO inconsistent throughout the game. There is no agency in dungeons at all. They don’t even have mediocre focusing. Make everything both craftable and enhancable. Make the weapon icon different if it was an enhanced random drop so that the RNG tryhards can show off that they didn’t craft it. This is the main reason I am playing so little these days. Final Shape will be the first expansion that I don’t get the deluxe edition for because I just can’t pay for dungeons anymore. They are just SO unrewarding. No one in my clan/friends wants to run them because of this even IF I wanted to subject myself to that unreasonable grind anyway.

Reading the people on the forum is much more satisfying than consuming fentanyl. I've been having a great time these last few week, LMAO.

They lost the pve magic they had in d1. Forsaken was good. They need to stick with making exotics a earned piece of gear not a long boring quest. And bring back strike specific gear
