I don't know what I want to do. Everything in the game has some sort of reason against me wanting to play it. Most of the time it's simply because of stale gameplay mixed with a lack of incentive and almost nothing as reward for doing it. I'll try to break down my thoughts for and against all the activities I can think of. As a rule of thumb, I won't include any activities that pretty much require gathering a party because often times I don't want to put forth the effort of doing so. Sometimes I just want to get on and play on my own terms and schedule. Is there anything wrong with that? Another rule of thumb is that Legend or higher difficulty can be fun, but often restricts me from playing how I want to play, forcing me to play a loadout or build that I'm not really feeling just to deal with the modifiers. Vanguard [spoiler]Well, 1 skilled guardian going on a power trip can be overkill for a normal strike, so forcing 3 of them in a group can be so much overkill that it saps any and all fun out of the activity. The 3 keep tripping over each other and can't allow one another to build up any momentum or fun. I literally can't enjoy playing normal strikes because of this. Nightfalls? Well, Heroic can be almost challenging at times when I'm testing a sub-optimal build. However, due to the slight trickle of new strikes over the years, they've just become super stale. Having to do "x" strike again for the 372nd time over the last 5 years gets a bit old. I've thought of some things I'd love to see to improve this, but I'll put it in its own thread.[/spoiler] Crucible [spoiler]I can still get on and have fun playing some Crucible. However, the PvP and PvE sandboxes are very different, so if I'm in the mood for PvE content, then Crucible is not what I'm wanting.[/spoiler] Gambit [spoiler]Lol Honestly, though. Gambit has potential. I have found myself legitimately having fun in this game mode before, but it's just far too susceptible to random bs that can ruin my fun. I can't recommend and I don't enjoy this game mode because of that.[/spoiler] Seasonal Activities [spoiler]Some seasonal activities have been pretty fun. However, the lack of rewards and "throw-away design" mixed with the incentive to grind them until they induce nausea turns me off entirely from wanting to do them just for fun.[/spoiler] Dungeons [spoiler]Dungeons can be pretty fun, but sometimes they're just a bit too challenging to be an enjoyable experience. The bosses often are intended to take multiple damage phases for even a group of 3, so someone who isn't using any certain powerful dps build and just wants to play how they want may find themselves having to deal with 9 or more damage over over 30 minutes during a single boss and that is a big turnoff for me wanting to solo it. Don't take this as a request to make them easier, they should stay hard. This is just my reasoning for why I don't often try to conquer them solo.[/spoiler] Other Stuff [spoiler]Patrols? hahaha, they've barely been changed since the game released and are just a waste of time. they offer almost no rewards and are the most stale activity in the game. DoE? Had to grind over 100 during their first season to get the exotic thingy since I don't like doing the same thing long enough to keep my streak high. Expecting 100+ completions of any activity over the course of a season is absurd and it's caused severe burnout for me towards DoE. I'm sure I'm forgetting something, and if I'm forgetting it, it must mean that I don't care enough about it. Probably some stuff that has no incentive to do, yet induced burnout when it was relevant.[/spoiler] What would I [i]like[/i] to do? Well, I'd love to go on a power trip. I'd love to make a build and have some good range to really test it out. That sounds so fun to me. Unfortunately, patrols don't have high enough enemy density and just feel like a waste of time and everything else either has matchmaking or essentially limits your loadout in some way, which defeats the purpose of wanting to try things out. The game's difficulty goes from 0 to 1 then suddenly jumps to 8, 9, and 10. I'd love to play something at about a 3 to 5, like Legend difficulty, but without match game or champions.
