I’ve got to be the only person that read your title and was reminded of some doomsayer in the middle of town shouting about it being the end of the world Edit: seriously profanity filter… “who” next to the word “read” followed by “your”is now filtered out. Y’all need to stop censoring random words now. It’s getting pretty fn ridiculous

Problem is you have a "game director" still in place who introduced all the changes to QoL that are killing the game. One foolish guy in charge of QoL who actually thinks he's smarter than everyone else. He actually believes somehow that making the game less accessible at the end of its run will bring back players. He's so foolish and full of himself that he somehow convinces himself that the low numbers are normal instead of being the death knell they actually are. Probably thinks that everyone is just magically going to decide one day that they enjoy playing the game his way. Hell.. he doesn't even play the game enough to know.

All they had to do was go full dedicated servers. Hire a team and get it done over a year or so. But instead they killed the game

After all these cringe empty seasonal stories, no pvp love and delusional management over the years they deserve it

TL;Dr - Yes, it is.

btw where is salta?

Game of the decade, eh? lol.

The game is done. I am so pissed at the poor decisions and poor choices

Bungie yet again fail to read the room… 99% of players are sick and tired of bullet sponge ads and effective play builds being nerfed because of the bullet sponges… just let it die with dignity, it’s over.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls It tolls for thee.

I strongly felt there was little reason to keep playing the game, given the steady decline in quality and care since D1 and the seemingly dismal future of the game, so I deleted my characters and uninstalled the game. I honestly think this is the only way to get Bungie, and the gaming industry at large, to listen to us. If you complain about the game but continue to play the same amount of time, you are literally supporting their decisions, and there is zero incentive for them to change because their scummy actions have no consequences. They can continue to artificially increase play time through difficulty, sunset weapons, remove content, neglect PVP, manipulate “RNG”, recycle content, and push the same tired seasonal content on players year after year, and it won’t matter if the majority of players are dissatisfied because the majority of players will still buy it and keep them in business. If you’re unhappy with the game, don’t play it. Don’t buy Marathon. It really is that simple.

For 2 years when I first created my clan, I've kept that saying that I currently have... [spoiler]"We are in the end times."[/spoiler]

Nah. You watch. The comeback will be spectacular.

There are a few major things they did that just reduced the value of the game. 1. Ignoring PVP for several years. I am not a PVP main but this was a massive mistake. The player population for the game has dropped, and it looks like the only dedicated players are pissed off PVP players. This is the thing that kept Destiny alive when there was nothing else to do. Well, that nothing is here, and both sides are in low population states. 2. Ignoring PVE players. You might double take, but it is actually true. For several years the content vault and sunsetting the original campaign were reported as pain points. Why? Number one is that getting new players into the game was always difficult but the Red War set those things up very well. It used to be easy to have a friend play through that and get them going. Now, the current new player experience is frankly, not working. And the vault is basically telling players they do not have the right to content they paid for that was expected to be permanent. They should have found another solution. They wanted to push a graphics and lighting update players do not care about. 3. Pretending Gambit is a ritual. This is a game mode that had some potential, but with near zero development, it is bizarre and awkward to try to push this as a “ritual” to me as a player. There is a ton of other content they could treat as a ritual activity over Gambit, they just don’t want to make it free. And that is the DLC playlist activities, for example. Gambit competes with Empire Hunts dude. That’s how little people play Gambit. Whatever they did, if they needed a third core playlist, Gambit is not actually it. And I loved Gambit Prime. Gambit’s time has passed. Keep the Drifter but please stop pretending. 4. Difficulty changes. I am a fan of having kicked up the base difficulty because strikes really were a joke. It should be sort of mid to entry level content and it still is, it’s not running a lost sector with your friends bad anymore. However, everywhere else in the game, the difficulty feels off. I have felt for years that they tuned it for people who are not average players, but for people who are way above average, and for what reason I do not know. And in response they keep trying to push sandbox items to contend with the difficulty rather than balancing the sandbox and tuning the difficulty right. I have lost interest in aspirational content when I can do no more than copy a build from an outlier and find out it doesn’t work for me. The truth is, I can’t do it anymore. I build into tons of sustain and still struggle. And it’s clear the majority of average players do because it’s not like the numbers on succeeding in aspirational content have gone up significantly. The fact that there are posts that suggest solo dungeons have never been easier because of a given sandbox change, like, I do not want that to be the reason I succeed and I suspect I am not alone. After years long damage done here, it tells me that Bungie doesn’t get it. They do not understand me as a player. Why should I care about Bungie, Destiny, or Marathon? The plot has been lost, completely.

Yeah the nerfs are super LAME! I run solar titan and bonk hammer cant even kill a low tier red bar enemy. Supposed to be mele class put wormgod on and go into the fray only for bonk hammer to bounce of enemies and not proc burning fist and wait for the hammer LAMEST TIMER COOLDOWN then get stomped by said crowd of enemies.
