TLDR[spoiler]Bungies current content seems to be lacking, and they just seem to be removing any and all motivation to continue playing once you reach endgame content. Trials is supposedly rife with cheaters, Iron Banner no longer has rank packages, the raid is super easy, and there's only one. Why? Why Bungie?[/spoiler]
Edit 1: before you say i should play another game, i already am. Im playing skyrim. So stop recommending i play a different game. [spoiler]and anyways, thats kinda the point of thsi post anyways. It feels like bungie is pushing players who have made it to the end away from destiny, thus trying to kill their game. A game should be replayable, but it seems like with RoI, they dont want destiny to be replayable. They want a "hit it and quit it" kinda game.[/spoiler]
Edit 2: also, drops mean nothing when nearly everything you own (that you use) is 400, and i highly doubt im the only person with nearly only 400 gear.
Dear Bungie,
I have been around since the beginning, so i have seen pretty much everything you have thrown our way. I have seen the rise and fall of weapons and subclasses. I have seen gods slain by LAN cables, or more interestingly enough, merely walk off the edge and take their own life because of their phobia of grenades. I experienced the agony of working your way up to a boss in the Prison, and spend several hours struggling to slay said boss, only to have to forfeit all progress and return to orbit due to real life obligations and no checkpoints. I witnessed the beginning of a divide in your community with the introduction of Trials, and the gally or gtfo posts.
But that was fine.
Then came year two. And with year two came a new subclass, a new raid, new (and a much more improved) story. A lot of good came with year two. Not everything good though. Elemental primaries were taken away from us for some reason, the nightfall flame and bonus was removed as well for no good reason. Year one content that we struggled to achieve was left behind and only select exotics slowly trickled their way back into our possession. Eververse was introduced with the promise that it would fund future live events to be free.
But once again, that was fine. The good outweighed the bad, so overall it was a positive year.
But now, year three. I know we have only just begun, but Bungie.... What the hell?
One of your employees has publicly stated that the lighthouse was always only supposed to be accessible by the best of the best. So that just cut into your community even more. And then you have the cheaters making it so only the best of the best at booting other players, or those who lag so hard they become gods, make it to the lighthouse, and when presented with proof, you do nothing except ban those that bring it to your attention. "Name and shame".
And your final expansion, lets be honest, is a little lackluster.... Five story missions and a laughably easy raid. But hey, its all fun and good content. Its just that you had a year, and this is what you have to show for it...?
But hey, you advertised those ornaments. Those things look friggen sweet!!
What? One a week? Prone to getting duplicates? If i want more, i need to spend even more cash? But but but.... But why?!
But hey, at least there is the live events that are being funded by eververse to look forward to right? Right? Wait, whats that? Almost all of the content is locked behind a paywall? But... But i thought it was supposed to be free.... How is it that all of the proceeds accumulated during ttk lead to a worse Festival of the Lost than last year...?
Alright. Well, all hope isnt lost. Iron Banner is really fun. Loot galore since Rise of Iron. You get loot from the bounties, and loot from ranking up. Loot EVERYWHE-
Wait, what's this? No more loot from ranking up? Then.... Then whats the point in playing after you beat the bounties?
What? There is none? Oh. Okay.
So, just to recap. Year two, you gave us a few good story missions, and a fun but really easy raid. Thats good.
But then you have your most toxic PvP gamemode run by cheaters and red bar deities. You gave us about three hours of content with FotL, and expected it to last two weeks. And Iron banner lasts however long it takes you to complete the bounties before you are out of stuff to do.
Im genuinely confused...
Do you want us to quickly run out of things to do? Cause that seems to be the case....
I honestly just dont know anymore. Im just really confused. Year one had a lot to do. Two raids, and three prison of elder game modes, nightfall, decent trials, good iron banner.
Now. Now we have this mess....
Sincerely,
A VERY concerned and confused gaurdian, JoeMonkey13.

They are done with this game. The majority of devs are most likely focusing on D2, as they should be. I expect we'll see SRL and another April update, not sure about what else. This DLC was thrown together, that's why the story was so short and the raid is so damn easy. I feel the same as you though, I can be 400 on all characters and I just don't feel the need to do much with the game anymore. My clan is pretty active and I still enjoy playing with them, but there's so much more out now that I find myself playing other games. That, and the crucible just seems to never be balanced, coupled with the incredibly slow tick rate makes for a frustrating experience.

Super bump !!!!

Bungie is working on D2. All games die eventually. Its been 2+ years for this one. This game is toast. Go play something else.

3 RisposteYear 3 wasn't supposed to exist. We were supposed to be in D2 this year. Didn't happen so they did the best they could to make a carry over. I'm having fun. I feel your pain if you aren't. It's a good thing there are all those other titles we can play when we aren't pushing back the Darkness.
-
8 RisposteWell they are [i]supposed[/i] to eventually bring all the other raids forward. Once that happens there will be a ton to do
-
Bit on the fence on this one A good company listens to its customers - without customers there is no company! Bungie does listen occasionally - But most of the time they don't or get it wrong when they do It's gotta be difficult dropping content that'll please everybody, at the same time making it error free and ensuring it doesn't have knock on effects We've had two challenge modes, HM Raid, Festival, IB and SRL is round the corner - Plus Supremecy, and who knows what's still to come Personally I felt this dlc was a bit lack lustre, but then again for the fee its not all that bad
-
Uhhh isn't it a bit early this time of year for these sorts of posts? Lol

I have zero hopes for major improvements to Destiny. All my hopes are in Destiny 2.

1 RispondiThe sooner you realize that this game is shit, the better you'll be off! https://youtu.be/0Q6CrVfCoFs

6 RisposteYou get 4 drops that imo are much better then even last year's ib ,plus it's guaranteed to be something not in current loot pool...all rewards I got from bounties were 4 or 5 above my light level...went from 390 to 394 in about a dozen games

1 RispondiModificato da Dooodley: 11/10/2016 12:43:02 AMYour post was a bit side tracked but to answer the title. Bungie has consistenly rendered previous content and longetivity of this game completely moot, through - to me atleast - just mind-boggling decision making. What we se in ROI is not only a continuation of previous actions but also them (seemingly) dumbing things down in an attempt to (even more than before) cater to the most casual of players. The entire game has become so basic and accessible, to everyone, that it's basically a single player campaign with some fireteam elements and where a single run through the content leaves you with very little incentive to re-visit said things.
