It kills me that this game has been ruined for me, it had so much potential if they’d taken what we had in y3 D1 and improved on it.
But instead we get a neutered game that’s an embarrassment to be called destiny that’s been nerfed into oblivion.
Like:
- removing special weapons. Players like to feel powerful. It’s why we search for coveted loot. Now they class special weapons with heavy weapons and they don’t compete.
- extended cooldowns of abilities wayyyy too much. A minute and a half for a grenade? Melee? 6 minutes 40 seconds for a super? Wtf???
- removed any customizing of gear as far as utility (discipline, strength, intellect; tier 12 stats)
- removed weapon rolls. I remember getting a timers lash with outlaw and crowd control with field scout, man I loved that thing.
- can only get one “intrinsic perk” like outlaw or firefly (dragon fly) not both.
- subclasses can no longer be customized, you pick either “A” or “B”, can’t mix subclass perks anymore.
- no more ammo synths (logic?)
- removed machine guns (umm, wut??)
- no more raid specific perks
- hell, no more perks in general on armor (infusion, inverse shadow, innervation, snap discharge, etc) it’s all been replaced with mods that add minuscule improvement at best
- removed heroic strikes
- removed strike specific loot
-removed many good artifact perks (skorris, peruns, etc)
- removed armor ornaments, and all other ornaments locked behind eververse.
- removed super energy gains from different tier mobs, now all mobs killed give you a minute sliver of super energy.
- Removed bounty’s
-removed my reasoning to play anymore until fixed...
This is just a few I’m pissed about. The game was marketed as space magic with guns, and that’s how D1 felt. Now In D2, I feel weak as -blam!-, like it went from fun crazy hectic, to slow boring and more of the same.
Sorry for the rant, yes I’m salty AF. I hate that one of my fave games got neutered.
And that's not even half the issues with the game, now imagine if you were hardcore player crucible, rumble, and solo plays. You're forced to hold hands with your teammates to win.
This game is a hollow shell of what Destiny was.
