First a little info for awareness:
I'm a senior citizen player, and a filthy casual.
I don't have hours to devote to a game and I am certainly not twitchy enough to pvp.
I'm tool old to "git gud" it just isn't gonna happen.
Now for my opinion of this latest episode:
I feels like a bad job. I am not say that Bungle did a bad job, it feels like my occupation. The place I work to make a living, and the place sucks. That is how this episode feels. I play games to escape from the grind of making a living and this game is no longer an escape. It is more like a sentence to extend the mind numbing soul crushing occupational experience into my free time.
Since I have the choice of not putting up with that which I don't like I will be exercising my option and leaving Destiny along with my rather substantial pile of disposable income. Being a senior does have its benefits.
I’ve sank plenty of time into Destiny’s difficult content, I enjoy it, but most of the time I prefer the chill, relaxed content that the core activities offer. Seasonal activities have always been chill, relaxed content. An activity you can sink 20 minutes into and call it a day. Now it’s an hour long commitment that feels like I’m dragging my nuts over shards of glass. Bungie is obsessed with making a rogue-like mode, no matter how astronomically unfun it is. I might be in the same boat, taking a break for a good while.
