Anyone just kinda...”Meh” now?
I’m enjoying the Warmind dlc for the most part and I think the improvements they made to exotics are nice and all but I gotta say...the grind this time around just isn’t what it used to be.
I used to hurry home from work to get online and game all evening before the weekly reset.
Now I’m just kinda indifferent to it all. I really don’t care if I get all the cool new loot or not. There’s no incentive for me to anyway. We still feel weak and sluggish and that sense of awe and wonderment seems to have been mostly lost.
And the writing. Oh gosh the writing is atrocious. Who in their right mind thinks this is permissible?
(The art team knocks it out the park as always though. Nowhere near God of War levels, but good.)
That’s not to say there aren’t some things I’m genuinely enjoying because there are. But it just feels like at this point...it may just be too little too late. Anyone else feels that way? I want to care. I really do. I miss how much fun this game was, and can be at times, in spurts. I just can’t bring myself to feel excited about it much at all anymore.
Escalation protocol is awesome. Well, it was the one time I was finally able to get in it with nine people. But that’s just it. A metaphor for Bungie. The best activities have always been the least accessible. The hardest part about this is how they don’t realize it by now. After all this time.
The most fun things to do shouldn’t be the hardest to actually even be allowed to do. It’s extremely exhausting just repeating this rhetoric over and over again.
Come the fall expansion, I’m gonna take a serious look at the level of “do I rly even give an eff” before even considering spending another cent on this once incredible franchise with near endless potential. You all may wanna do the same.

I haven't felt much of anything, not since we stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold. [spoiler]👌[/spoiler]

Fun and Bungie together is an oxymoron.

I recently came back after a years hiatus. I played through the two new DLCs quite fast and i'm currently at power 365 with my main. Once i bump him to 385 i will cycle through my alt and get him to 385 as well. Once that's done, i'm climbing back under my rock and waiting for the next DLC. That being said, there's nothing to do in the game that can sustain you over time once you've hit max power. I really don't mind grinding so i'd like to see more long, grindy quests for exotics.

Been "meh" a week after release. Right now is more like "the hell am i doing."
-
Yeah, I’m feeling “meh” as well. This weeks Nascent Dawn quest was just arduous and dissatisfying. I already had the weapon and didn’t really need a masterwork version, especially not after going through all that EP/VS nonsense... On a high note, after finishing the mission I started reassessing how I spend my free time. I was seriously like “what the -blam!- am I doing?” Lol!

Edited by Dirtrider00: 5/27/2018 3:35:22 PMHave 3100+ hours in D1. Basically just logging in on Tuesday reset now to run milestones on my toons. Had a buddy that needed to run the nightfall the other day while I was playing Conan Exiles. Literally groaned logging out of Conan for 15 minutes so we could run him through the nightfall. At this point, I'm really not sure if I'm hanging around or not come this Fall. Kinda depends on what changes and how they effect the PVE side of the game that will decide it for me. With all the nerf posts I've seen from a minority of the pvp crowd, I feel like we might be using different size straws and spitwads this fall.

Edited by Fridén: 5/25/2018 1:16:24 PMI am a PVP first player. Regardless, in Destiny 1, I did every raid, collect every exotic, chanced every god rolled weapon (whether PVE or PVP), and did every quest. In Destiny 2, I still haven't done the rat king, Sturm, Sleeper, or the new exotic scout quest. I have no desire to. Every weapon (even with the sandbox changes) is just lackluster when compared to what we had in D1. Power fantasy is dead.
-
Agreed. Passion for this franchise continues to plummet with every new DLC

3 RepliesNicely put. You’re spot on about the activities being the most fun are the ones that are the least accessible. Sad because it’s not like we haven’t provided feedback as such. I ran my hunter through the Warmind story and was excited at first, got the quests done, found all the data points to get the gear, got myself to 345, then stopped playing. I’d log on and go to the tower and just stand there, like prior to Warmind. I don’t even have the motivation to run my other guardians through it. I’m with you on how it feels. Bungie just doesn’t “get it”.

Agree 100%. D1 was a blast every time I played but D2 seems to have become a bore fest. So much was removed from D1 and so many corners were cut in D2 it shows now more than ever.
-
Spot on where I’m at . It’s not that the content is even bad it’s just the same thing as Osiris, chronically bad implementation . At this point I think warmind might be my jumping off point . I just can’t see how they can turn this around with the next update , not to mention that my faith in them delivering a massive change is rock bottom .

4 RepliesI have one of each class and I can’t even bring myself to do the milestones on them anymore. I’m already wishing the months away hoping Septembers expansion will finally be the “whooo this is awesome!” Moment. Probably won’t buy it until a month or 2 later once I’ve seen some honest reviews.

4 RepliesEdited by Orpheus49: 5/26/2018 1:44:08 PMThe worst reaction you can get, is no reaction at all When people are mad. It's because they care, and they know bungie can do better. When it's no reaction, it's because there's no trust or passion anymore

The D2 mantra: Poorly designed, poorly executed.

10 RepliesI agree. I'm not salty, just sad I just don't feel it with D2. In D1 I used to spend hours grinding, doing the same thing but I never got bored and it always felt like there was a purpose to it. D2 just feels unrewarding and boring. I'm not saying the whole game is bad, I just feel that there's not that passion and excitement there for me anymore which genuinely makes me feel sad for a game I once loved.

1 ReplyI hate the game all around. Wish I could get my money back. Not a fan of buying garbage.

My biggest problem with the current state of Destiny is how long it takes them to dole out changes. Every expansion we seem to get an additional couple exotics from D1. Why? Why not drop them all on us so that we can have a bigger pool now to play in. Same with these exotic armor changes. Only 6 next week, more in July. It reminds me of how long I waited to get my hands on the Jade Rabbit because I was on XB1. When it finally dropped, it was time to move on to D2. It's very frustrating because I want a bigger fun factor now and instead they dole it out in drips. I get the distinct feeling that by the time D2 is just how we've all envisioned it being (well at least a much bigger chunk of us), it will be time to move on to D3 and start the slow drip process all over again.

4 RepliesEdited by QUANTUM-CHUNGUS: 5/25/2018 5:11:52 AMI'm getting the "why am I playing this?" feeling pretty often now. Just back to the routine of doing milestones and inching up a few light levels each week.

3 RepliesAfter I killed Xol the Worm God (Jeffrie the Tape Worm) I went what? That's it? Really?

once the next dlc comes out that people didn’t preorder with the game... then they will realize how bad they’re messing up.

Edited by Mystic-Dream-54: 5/25/2018 6:16:35 AMI think you summed up what so many veteran players are experiencing....this is what happens when you reset progress and go backwards, you really do lose the incentive. Nothing really feels special, it feels like I play, waiting for that something special to return....weird isn't it? As you said it's not all bad but it certainly feels like there's a miss. I have wanted to replay the campaign on heroic difficulty to relive the story with our more recent gear/weapons.....why is that something that has been overlooked? Why would you create a good campaign but offer zero means for players to engage in it, without deleting a character and starting over? I hope the future is better but I'm starting to feel D2 will end, having never reached the potential it could have had or equaled what D1 already gave us.

I've been defending Bungie for years but I'm done, at this point, there's no way I'm buying another expansion. I'm a PvP player, so I welcomed ranked with open arms but they didn't fix anything along with it. People still quit ranked every day, it's still solos vs stacks, there're no new Trials ornaments and only three weapons - got everything the first weekend. There's no reason for me to play. On the PvE side - which I don't care for - everything is bugged, I still can't do heroic strikes, turn in XP engrams, etc. Curse of Osiris was horrible content but Warmind showed me they have no idea what they're doing.
-
Not now, Nov 2017 when I realized this game is garbage. Nothing new has given me any reason whatsoever to come back.
-
The hardest part about endgame activities has always been accessibility not the actual content.
-
I feel mostly the same about this. A lot of times I will take large breaks from D2 and play with friends in other games like warframe or recently dark souls remastered. I don't expect one game to sustain me forever but destiny does have a huge problem in this area right now
