Not a fan of this. You know how long and frustrating it was grinding EP armour every week for one piece?
Hoping the piece that dropped was Arc, had high stats AND wasn’t a piece I had before.
I done EP every week since shadowkeep and only needed the chest, rest wee all duplicates.
Now dawn arrives and your telling me that set is now useless? I masterworked it why? What’s the point in literally doing anything in this game now armour wise if it’s gonna be going next season? Mods disappearing every season, never really being able to hold onto Builds?
How can masterworking be so expensive at the same time as there being Hardly anyway to get the materials? Wouldn’t it make sense to...I don’t know...make all armour ornaments? One set of each affinity and we grind ornaments? Where are the ornaments missing from the armour 2.0 trailer?
What is this game now anyway? Can’t be a collection game because there isn’t a enough vault space and we can’t pull any random rolls out of collections which is most gear now.
Can’t be loot game because they just isn’t enough loot for that and the loot that is there is reskins?
Definitely not a PvP game, that “renewed focus” is no where to be seen, no new maps and nerfs left right and centre.
So what is destiny now? A rinse repeat season simulator? I’m just confused by the direction of the game, I want to be able to use anything I’ve been rewarded with In the game, I want to be able to hold on to builds and bring them out/change them up whenever, but the game is changing none stop.
Cant use new mods on old armour, artefacts gone every season so can’t save builds, bungie chooses what weapons we are to use by only allowing those mods in the artefact.
I think you guys need to step back, and look at your game as a whole, really look though. Look at what made D1 so great and aspects of D2 you were praised for, look at what people enjoyed, and stick to it. D1 was a beta? Then what is D2 because launch was nothing like D1 and now we’re into a whole new way of delivering content. Is this another beta?
More consumables every season yet no update to the space we have to hold them.
You introduce armour 2.0 but but then activities like EP that reward good looking stuff is locked to one piece a week. You don’t have someone looking and double checking stuff like this? And oh btw, EP chest isn’t rewarding loot after the update. Glad someone doubled checked this to...
Catalyst like sleeper still locked behind a raid no one does anymore, no at Bungie picked up on this?
Vendors haven’t seen a reset in years ahahaha actual years lmfao “evolving world” only thing evolving about any planetary vendor in the past 2 years is the ever evolving boredom I have when getting a package....
Not to worry, eververse is bursting with goodies though, every season, every week....
Exotics.....that we earned....over years of gameplay....And grinding....that seem to be rarer than any decent patch notes .....CANT even be taken from collection with proper affinities or stats. How many times do I need to get the same exotic?
Instead of being an evolving and progressive world, it’s now a loop, rinse and repeat seasons with hardly anything carrying over to the next to show for our time. When is there ever gonna be a “you had to be there moment” if I have nothing from the last season to show for it.
As it stands now, I don’t think I would say to anyone who didn’t play Season of the undying “you had to be there man” because there wasn’t anything. It’s all gone now. Personally I much preferred the DLC form of content.
So what’s going on? All time, recourses, care and funding going towards your new game with Netease? Is that why making destiny content is “hard” or is it just you guys have lost passion for this game?
Who’s enjoying this? If you are great. If you aren’t, what’s your views?

Right now the games direction is down the toilet. Years of feedback and summits about player time investment and longevity of gear all just blown out the water with one mod slot. Instant disposable gameplay overnight, can’t wait for destiny on mobile.

2 RepliesI just can’t believe they’ve done this, it’s almost like in one sweep they’ve totally changed how the game is played and it’s not for the better. They have basically gone against what everyone wanted and expected from this game, after literally years of feedback about collecting gear and the longevity of gear they pull this. I hope we get to hear why because this can’t be as simple as just a mistake. It’s instantly become a game for casual play, it’s just not worth investing any time into it anymore.

They should do it like this instead: There's always a Seasonal Slot on EVERY piece of armor. The advantage of that slot is that you can put current season mods into it without having to sacrifice other slots. When the season ends, those mods are transferred into the general mod section to make way for new seasonal mods.

2 RepliesJust play casual until next year when we get Armor 3.0. This game has had a drastic armor change annually. That's terrible management.

11 RepliesOn the subject of screwing up: did it always take an upgrade module to infuse two of the same items??? I swear it just used to cost glimmer???

I’m just hoping they sell the IP at this point. Give it to someone who would do the franchise justice.

Edited by GalaxySpider: 12/12/2019 8:15:31 AMFor this exact reason I stopped. Didn't bought the season pass. The grind became ridiculous over the last months, time investment compared to the rewards is abysmal, armor designs which look like a 10 years old made them (and good looking sets like the 3 parade armor sets are still left behind), PvP still a mess, everything left behind just to grind for it again or just so Bungie can say "hey, new content" (even game modes like Elimination which existed years before in D1). Reskins over reskins, no new enemy types per season, and so on. After 5 years you get exhausted constantly seeing old shit reskinned and good unique "loot" being locked in the Tess Shop even though 2 or 3 items would perfectly fit as activity rewards. Bungie totally underestimated what it means to make loot shooter in a shared world environment and designing it in a live-service way. I'm sure they still regret this decision. It looks like they lost all passion to actually go further with this game.

If you can call a dog chasing its tail a "direction", you have your answer. This game has evolved into one hot mess since D2, which officially marked the death of the 10 year game concept IMO.

Honestly I’m so tired of bungies crap. Who actually knows why the make stupid decisions like this . Maybe they’re all on drugs. Back to psvr for me ❤️

3 RepliesI really only play Menagerie now, I don’t have the ship so I do runs of Heroic on LFG, it’s my favorite activity that isn’t boring every time I run it
-
I didn’t pre-order the season and so glad I didn’t. I‘m not grinding for all my armour again, never mind the prisms and ascendant shards, only for it to be useless next season, once was enough. Will Bungie ever learn, what the hell are they thinking!!!!
-
100% agree. Well said. For the first time in 5 years I just can't drag my ass to my console. All armor I get now is useless in 90 days anyway...

I don't see a reason to care about armor at all now, yeah. This is a huge oversight that gets hopefully fixed.

1 ReplyI'm in position right now where I don't know if I finished content because the story design is so poor. In Shadowkeep the last cut scene was Eris touching the statue, then looked (smiled?) at the cam. That's it? The narrative is non existing, not enough voice overs and so on. Exotics are day 1 presents now incl. catalyst though the Catalyst progression grind is mad atm. Repetetive, boring, not worth it...
-
The game's killing itself atm

Until there is a genuine alternative to what I used to think was the best game ever made, then this is clearly the direction the state of the game will take. I doubt there will be a D3 as we know developers are working on another new IP. Best idea would be to sell D2 and assets to another Studio who is motivated to take forward. Then they can focus on new IP. Sadly every single one of my friends who used to play every day have all moved on. There was 28 who did. Now only me.

3 RepliesI just don’t understand why they switched the exotics up like that. It’s like they’re scared to make a actual exotic... for example that one hunter exotic that lets you extend your bow drawback time lol. Like wtf?? Who thought of that? Or the titan shoulders that make you throw (only thermite) grenades faster. Why? Why was the crest of alpha lupi changed? Was it really that game breaking to pick up teammates faster??

Edited by Fishyb: 12/12/2019 7:50:40 AMWhole armour system is utterly pointless at this stage. Just equip whatever is needed to get you through the next bit of content and forget about masterworking anything, complete waste of time.

Im playing out of pure frustration a this point... this whole setup is bad for people with gambling addictions, it plays on the same problems.

Uh. what?

2 Repliesnot only that now they removed content from the game to add it to the season pass, and the people who paid for each and every one of the dlc were like idiots buying dlc thinking that we would have all the content of the dlc but the truth is that we have to pay more money to have the content of the game, otherwise you get nothing.
