Today I got curious and decided to do some math.
The question: Why people seem to be getting bored with the game.
I was having a conversation with someone earlier about why they were so upset with the amount of content in the game. Looking at his destiny tracker, and after some math.. I figured out why he was bored. It breaks down as follows:
Play time between his 3 characters: 912 Hours. (38 Days)
The game came out 6 months ago. So our base is 180 Days.
In 180 days, the average person getting the recommended amount of sleep (8 hours), sleeps for 60 of those 180 days (1,440 hours). (33%)
In 180 days, the average person working 5 days a week for 8 hours a day, works for 40 of those 180 days (960 hours). (22%)
Someone playing destiny for 912 hours, or 38 days accounts for 21.1% of those 180 days.
Adding these together, the average person with 912 hours of logged game time has spent 76.1% of the last 6 months of their life Sleeping, working, and playing Destiny alone.
These numbers do not include time taken to eat, exercise, shower, run errands / do chores or be with friends / family. But, everything else besides sleeping, working, and playing Destiny would account for 23.9% of their last 6 months of life.
Recap:
Time sleeping: 60 Days (33%)
Time Working: 40 Days (22%)
Time on Destiny: 38 Days (21.1%)
Everything Else: 43 Days (23.9%)
... no wonder you're bored with the game. 3/4 of your last 6 months has consisted of not being conscious, working, and playing the same game.
ADDED 8/5/15: I've logged 12.7 days (305 hours) in total. Haven't played much in the last 6 months (except the last 2 weeks i've gotten on a bit more to see what HoW is all about.)
[b]NOTE: Use WastedOnDestiny.com to check your time. Not Console time.[/b]
Added Note: At 500 hours if you spent $60 on the game and $20(or was it $15?) on TBD like I did, that's $80 total spent - You've paid 16 cents ($0.16) an hour to play. To put that into perspective: The average play time through Metal Gear Solid 4 is 18:48 (we'll round up to 19 hours.) That game also cost $60 when it came out. That comes out to costing $3.18 an hour to play. That's three dollars and two cents($3.02) more per hour than Destiny(plus expansion) and you've gotten 480ish more hours of gameplay.

6 답변I think its crazy that people boast about having 1000+ hours logged into a game. Its not a good thing, its like someone bragging about being extremely obese. They're real life equivalents of honey booboo's mom

작성자: hotlipshoffman 4/22/2015 5:23:47 PMI have barely over 444 hours. So about the same time as you, ~17 days, and I've gotten bored of it. I've already moved on to Borderlands. I'm doing the raids and the nightfalls because they're somewhat challenging. But other than that, I don't log on very much anymore. I'll log in more often when HoW comes out, because I have the season pass, but I'm just bored.

This is also why I don't understand why people seem to complain about being bored with the game. You're going to be bored when you play nothing else and have been doing this for 1000+ hours. This game is basically like a job to some people.

작성자: Nehemias89 4/21/2015 8:59:13 PMGot 562 hrs since the game came out. Got a 8-5 job, a 2 yr old daughter and a wife.. I did play a lot (for me i guess) for a while but stopped playing a lot because i decided to join the gym and spend more time with the fam! Lol.. I was going to the gym before the game came out, but once it came out i got hooked and stopped going for about 6 months. I did enjoyed the game, still do but it's repetitive. Rather do something better but i still play when i have a free time.

I'm just under 720 hours according to my stats at Destinytracker.com. 499.5 hours according to my profile on this site. WHO is right?! I think this site with 499.5 total hours is more accurate. Anyone else have a massive discrepancy between sites?

3 답변150 hours now and i am a day 1 player. Have a 9 to 5 job, gf and some social activities. I play as much Destiny as i can so i am flabbergasted by the numbers here... Everybody can do what they want (and how much) but looking at my personal life and the amount of time i have put into the game i do wonder where people get the time to play that much...

Some of us have multiple people playing destiny. My brother has my hunter, and my niece built the warlock. The game is played in rotations. There's also afk time. A lot of it. I'm pretty sure at least 1/5 of the destiny play time on my account is taking breaks at Gorgons, death singer, gatekeeper, Public event waiting, waiting for patrol to refresh, standing in tower idle, Waiting for someone to join you to do a nightfall, strike crucible, etc.

1 답변작성자: OLYMPUS VI 4/18/2015 12:02:49 PMI have about 500 hours in. At around 300-400 hours I have done almost everything I could do in the game and didn't grind out anything. I've gotten all exotics, except the one I've passed up on (bounties). I just recently made a warlock. My Grim is almost maxed out, and it could have been a long long time ago, but I refuse to grind it. What I don't understand is, how people can play 1000 hours and not have completed the entire game. It boggles my mind.

3 답변I've spent $660 total on my destiny experience. I've played a few hundred hours of activities, I would say it was worth it.
