For me, and just my opinion, the game has design problems. I will explain shortly. The nature of the game is that it wants to be a lot of things, but it doesn’t master any. Art wise it is superb and gameplay is great. It has a lot deep detail, can’t argue with that. RNG: I learned to grind and farm, since probably Final Fantasy 1. I would just stay in one area, for hours, killing the same IMP or Wolf, over and over, so I could level up, gather items and then try to kill the all powerful Marlboro. Some level of grinding and farming is required in almost every game out there. With other games you would do it, so you could defeat a powerful boss that would give you a unique reward and/or get a piece of armor/weapon that was worth the effort. But, what you wanted was basically guaranteed. Many of those games also have a level of RNG. A particular boss may drop a unique item that you want/need. You would farm that boss for hours, but since it is the only source for that item you know it was basically guaranteed that you would obtain it. Now comes Destiny’s take on RNG. Mostly everything in this game is obtained via RNG. Everything is a roulette in this game and it is obnoxious. Nightfall and nightfall drops RNG. Gambit and Malfeasance quest items have RNG. Seals requirements have RNG. 1,000 Voices drop is RNG and so on and so forth. Even buying with money an engram from Eververse has RNG. The only items out of this RNG loop are quest specific items, and I’m highly grateful for those. Getting the Whisper with friends was a blast, but getting my 10th Blast Furnace with slideshot and field prep is idiotic and frustrating. The RNG in this game is just a leashless monster that can’t be tamed. I do not know what the solution to this RNG conundrum is. I do know that it is designed to keep you playing for a long, long time. At the end, I am just so tired, that finally getting that “reward” makes no difference, it creates no emotion other than apathy. I could care less for that item now. 650: My 3 characters are 650 and I opened the 3 forges with the 3 toons, and I see this as a problem. Reaching 650 is not the problem. The problem is that once you get to 650 you feel stuck. I have thousands and thousands of planetary materials and thousands and thousands of vanguard/crucible/iron banner coins. I have almost 30 prime engrams, and a bunch of powerful engram bounties including Iron Banner completed bounties, just there in the pursuits. There is no incentive to redeem them. I will not get anything that I don’t already have. I already have all “drop” exotics in the game. In this game trying to reach 650 is a problem and being 650 is a problem. My friends keep getting the same weapons over and over, and what they are missing to reach 650 in one of their characters is armor. This game has no sense of balance. Highly frustrating to level up and frustrating when you get there, there is no incentive to do anything. Also this game desperately needs new areas to explore and new maps, it is stale as it is now. Vendors are worthless and stuck in Y1, it is ridiculous. This game has the potential to become a real legend. It is full of great ideas but with bad delivery. I remember seeing the Collections tab for the first time. It was a great idea. Being able to delete and clean up the vault, where I can just reacquire something later, via Collections is great. Then came the random rolls and you was not able to reacquire items that had random rolls. How stupid can that be, specially since most Y1 items became obsolete the moment Forsaken was available. Then came the change to infusion costs and the enhancement cores dilemma. That is by far the most ridiculous thing ever in a game. It is still, to this date, a hot debate. Destiny 2 is a game that can easily win game of the year awards and other prestigious awards, but it needs to evolve and change. It needs definition and balance. 1. Get rid of Y1 weapons and armor, except exotics, of course. I don’t want to see them in collections as they are irrelevant. This is not Destiny 2 anymore. It is Destiny Forsaken, make it so. 2. Give all vendors new, specific, weapons and armor. I would like to rock a newly designed failsafe inspired armor set with a Ghost that has her voice and antics (I can dream). 3. Make collections relevant to new items. Do something about reacquiring items with random rolls. Bungie created this problem by themselves, they can fix it as they are creative. 4. Do something about infusion costs. 5. New areas to explore, public spaces and maps. 6. Take a look at the RNG, it has a function, but that function can’t be to punish players and make them not care anymore. 7. Once you reach light level cap give an option to get something in return from prime engrams. Give me 5 cores for all I care, don’t know, something. 8. Make planetary materials relevant to purchasing new stuff from the newly introduced vendor options. 9. Fix loading times. Takes too long to load the UI. 10. Get rid of cosmetics from Seals. They just don’t make sense for a Seal from the beginning. Balance and changes this game needs.
