Destiny has a habit of dissapointing players but my gosh this season is above all others in its failure to keep me feeling engaged.
Was max base power by the Wednesday of the week the DLC dropped, was maxed out on both other characters by the Thursday and my bunker was fully upgraded by Friday morning. Since then I've had nothing at all to do. Not enough players at max power to compete in any pinnacle activities. I put up group invites and nobody responds which is a first for me as I've always managed to have eight or ten people minimum want to join me. The problem? They just aren't strong enough and that is not their faults. Have managed to grind out a couple of nightmares and in both attempts was dropped duplicate gear and so absolutely no benefit at all which has made me decide I'm not going to be mugged off for a third time. The strikes as always are the same. The nightfall is too tough for most average players so even when I run the heroic version I spend my whole time reviving people and riding by the seat of my pants at the boss whilst my team mates are dead and besides, it's a boring nightfall it really is.
There is absolutely nothing to do and by nothing I mean nothing that is engaging or exciting. Everytime I think destiny cannot get any worse it never fails to let me down and the Seraph runs are also boring. Everybody hates public events as it is and I haven't seen anybody asking for more or new ones so what on earth possessed bungie to create this one? Legendary lost sectors were challenging at first but only three of them this last fortnite and at this stage I'm just running through them like any other lost sector. I mean what was the reward for levelling up my character? Boredom? Thanks bungie as always. I've been playing Apex which speaks volumes because that's also a uniquely boring game but this past two weeks, compared to detsiny at least, it feels rewarding and less mundane.
Edit for the nay sayers who tell me there is more to come...
Week three... More reskinned content. More basic bounties... More boredom.
Ill keep you posted on the reskins and reruns we get resold in the weeks ahead. I hope I don't steam roll through this massive DLC too quickly and complete the lost sectors I've run a million times too rapidly. Ironically alot of the people who said that the content was fine can't even run the lost sectors as they just aren't powerful enough so it's news to me but apparently running around farming bounties to level up enough to be able to run lost sectors that have been in the game between nine months and three years is satisfactory content? The lost sectors are really boring. I don't remember seeing a single thread or complaint about the lack of lost sectors and even if there had been people complain, what is the answer? To throw a few champions into old ones and say yep, that's your DLC?

1 Replywell I agree with you on boring. But I do have a life besides D2, so I only play on 1 char, can't imagen how boring it is to do everything twice. I am no trials person, nor raids, since no clan fits my active time frame. I consider playing solitair, since that is much more fun

Edited by AztechTwoStep: 3/23/2020 5:19:37 PMIt’s grindy. Without the impractical grind it would be great. Edit: autocorrect thought grindy was supposed to be Grundy lol

PvE side is currently a little unexciting. I think the games PvP is super boring but those players that like it at least have something to do.

2 RepliesEdited by goats_dont_shave: 3/24/2020 9:08:05 PMDon’t know the Gambit one was pretty bad! Member 🍇that weekly storey quest that went nowhere! And the one where we had to pick a side and our choice really mattered! 🙄

The only thing to really do is run bounties to upgrade bunkers (I'll be able to fully upgrade the Moons tomorrow). Maybe run some towers. That's it for us PVE players. If your a PvP player you can play Trails. Never been my bag. Yes we have a 4th Horseman quest. Probably won't use it so will deal with it after all 3 chars hit the 1000 soft cap and I'm weeks past bored. IB starts this week with Y2 versions of old ugly armor. I'm a bow lover so I will be running the quest for the bow but no real need for anything from IB except for getting pinnacle gear so that's something. Naturally we have a storyline left totally wide open and we all know how well Bungie does at finish story lines - NOT! So yes most boring season since D1 day 1!

18 RepliesFirst off, relax. The reason it's boring is because you blew through everything. There's a reason Bungie is spreading the content out so thin. People like you will just complete everything in a day, then leave for 3 or 4 months. Now, could the content be better? Of course. Better content is always needed. Second, Bungie will [i]hopefully[/i] address the strikes and such next season. They said there were plans to give them more drops later on. But... I wouldn't be so sure. Knowing Bungie, they'll lock the new drops behind an Eververse version of the strike, and you have to buy each time you want to run it. There's still plenty I've yet to do. Haven't gotten max light yet, haven't done the Seraph Tower yet, haven't maxed out my bunker. I'm taking things slow this season. Last season I did basically everything first month, now I'm taking it slow. Got no reason to rush all my hard work will just be wasted once weapon retirement becomes a thing.

3 RepliesGotta be honest seems like you just played 24/7 and ran through everything in five seconds. I had fun at first but the grind to fully level a base is kinda unbearable especially doing the same bounties every other time.
-
Yeah well not all of us are like you. I’m really enjoying the Seraph Public Event more so than the sundial runs. I’ve not maxed my first bunker, or hit max light level either. Sounds like you have way too much time on your hands. Stop moaning and go play Apex or whatever, nothing Destiny produces is going to satisfy you.
-
Ok pve warrior 😆
-
Took me two weeks to max the bunker. You're clearly trying too hard.
-
You are trying too hard. Not everybody here has the time you have getting everything done in 3 days. Powerlevel is unlimited since you can raise it with the artifact. Also I wonder if it was possible to get everything at 1010 base light level without artifact in 3 days. Were there enough pinnacles to get? A lot of times when I am done with things I find enjoyment on helping players that struggle. Players in my clan or on LFG looking for help. I finished the Legend Ordeal for 100K and a master nightmare hunt. But these were rough on 1000-1010 light. Especially the master nightmare hunt. We just need to be patient and raise our lights like you did. Thuesday Iron Banner starts and a lot of players can raise their light levels again with 4 or 5 pinnacles dropping for each character. This will give a major boost if your base light is 1000 or higher.

1 ReplySeraph towers are garbage , the fact that they thought this was acceptable as content to oaywall behind a season pass is laughable. I'm a PVP guy and honestly regret buying this season pass, if trials wasn't back in this game is probably have quit this season tbh.
-
Not everyone no-life’s the game like you do, Guardian. Maybe go at things at a steady pace instead of grinding through it all like a mutant.

Edited by Lore Oradon: 3/23/2020 4:54:22 AMIt may be boring, but, There are Secret Armour Class items in the game. They don't register in collections, and they don't have a DLC/ Expansion icon. I found 2 so far. 1. MARK OF THE COLLIDERS 2. ERE THE END Can't wait to find more.😃😃 Edit- New information has been risen about this. They have been in the database since D2 vanilla. There is 2 for each class.

1 ReplyLegendary Lost Sectors are the same but with Champions. Bungie it's lame, just create new zone per sector with unique RANDOM mechanics. Even wanted quests ( the last one) have much interesting mechanics. Bunker is great, but empty...=( New weapons have very bad perks combo. NO RAID!!!11 I'm very disappointment. Sorry
-
3 RepliesI kinda agree. This season is the worst one since their new format. It's really boring. Daily bunker clear and seraph tower. That's it. I like the seraph perks/warmind cells, but that's about it. I hated lost sectors before this, so I have little incentive to do legendary versions of them.
-
My ONLY problem for this season is the grind. If it weren’t for the grind it would be the best out of the last 3 seasons.
-
Hmm basically bunker grinding with Trials on the weekends ..
-
Edited by GrifterDeMier01: 3/22/2020 10:49:20 PMThis season is so bad it makes the last 2 seasons look good. Especially last season. Last season compared to this crap was lightyears better. That's pretty bad considering so far everything about shadowkeep has been very meh and lackluster. The super sweaty try hard pvpers and youtubers are probably in heaven though with the return of their beloved reskinned trials.
-
Maybe next season we’ll get to help rebuild the reef.

What isn’t there to like about doing the same stuff we’ve been doing this entire expansion?

1 ReplyEdited by RopeAdope: 3/22/2020 9:19:25 PMIf I may make a suggestion. Go play the game and make your own fun. Don’t wait til mama Bird spoon feeds you loot drops. Take a break. Catch up on the back catalog. Brush your teeth. There’s a million other things you could be doing. I’m not saying, “ if you don’t like it GTFO”. The opposite in fact. Instead if worrying about the MacGuffin at the end of the rainbow, go plant your flag in shuro chi’s blowhole. Run strikes no guns. Run strikes only melee. Get the longest kill with a sniper in the history of gunpowder. Js, perspective and initiative

1 ReplyThis is the season of The Unworthy. The "Worst" Horseman shotgun shoots blanks. Upgrading the lacklustre bunkers is unrewarding, slow and costly. I've already run out of shards and materials and the seasonal currency bits drive me crazy. I had to strip my other 2 characters gear and guns to get some CURRENCY to play the season. No fireteam to play the trials, well, not even bothered. Played a lot less this season, 'cos there's no point anymore.

This season is pretty -blam!-ing lame. Last season we had the Sundial which was maybe not the best, but still, I personally had much more fun. Trials are filled with Hard Light and SUROS so thats unplayable and Seraph Towers are probably THE MOST BORING THING I HAVE EVER PLAYED.
