I crack up at this too. 😂. It’s like, quest with 34 steps. I’m already knowing that most of it is back and forth from A to C, C to A, A to B, B to A, A to D, D to A, A to B, B to A Ect… 😂 Me and my kid laugh about it all the time. 🤪

Inter dimensional travel but nobody’s got a mobile phone 🤷‍♂️

It’s literally the same thing on the pale heart, especially with the lost ghosts and I feel like I’m doing them for a laugh…. I’ve done at least 6 then most of the time I have to do the stupid patrol thing by myself and go do the same cysts I’ve done countless times to get either a hand cannon, fusion rifle or linear fusion rifle? And they drop from completing the overthrow I think it’s called ?!?

It’s all by design to waste your time and make them more money. It’s been like this since Sony took over, you are just realising it.

Tired of all design philosophy that seems to center around increasing play time in a meaningless way. Punishing players for optimizing in boss fights with immunity phases. Creating content to waste time rather than make fun experiences.

Bungie’s explanation for why this is a thing: [quote] Hi. I understand that you’re annoyed that some quests like this make you go multiple places, but there are logistical reasons why this happens. Sometimes it’s how the quest was built as part of the overall gameplay loop and its incredibly hard after the fact to change it, such as in Season of the Forge where you had to visit Ada multiple times. And other times it’s due to time or budgetary constraints. Full vendor performances take up much more time and budget to create than an upper torso performance in the holoprojector or just a voice recording. In your example about going to the Farm then the HELM and back to the Farm, that’s intended as part of the gameplay loop since both locations are important to the story, but the main reason is because certain performances are hooked up at each holoprojector and we can’t put them all in the same place without other issues occurring. We actually have many gameplay specialists who play through the content prior to release, many many times, and then provide feedback to us about their experience. However, sometimes we’re unable to act on that feedback for various reasons, such as production schedules. More than likely the feedback you’re giving today was pointed out months ago. Could we have done things better? Absolutely, and that’s feedback we’ll be looking at for future seasons.[/quote] From their reddit response here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/12x7md5/comment/jhip11h/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Whether or not you believe then is up to you.

It would be better if we could skip all the dialogue. But no. Most of the time our Guardian is just awkwardly standing there while two or three characters have their own conversation. They usually don't even acknowledge that our Guardian is present.

I like the ones where you talk to a character, then go to the holoprojector and talk to that same character again.

I don't hold out much hope for future episodes.

I remember that the game went into high gear in wasting our time when Activision came into the picture. Some people claimed that the higher ups wanted to see more time invested by each player into the game. In effect, they came up with so many ways to waste a player's time by making them go through hoops and hoops and more mindful hoops. They failed to realize that while it worked for a little time, player investment into the game went down. Everything wasn't rewarding enough to spend time on. Until Bungie realizes this and dials it back way down, they will keep seeing player engagement go to down, perhaps all the way to zero.

It’s not a huge deal tbh. This is common in mmos. If you have npcs in different locations that the player needs to interact with for a piece of content, 9x out of 10 you need to move locations to talk to both. It’s definitely annoying but it’s not a hill I’d die on. You obviously never played Wizard 101 lol :)
