They're a lazily made activity with horrid event challenge requirements. 35 runs is way too many. One of Many is such a terrible challenge. I've done nothing for the past hour but queue up and back out as soon as we land because we didn't land in the right area. All I need is the EDZ one, but it's being less than a 1/4th chance right now. I've gotten it 3 times in the last 30 or so tries. Once I landed when it was half-way over already, another time it was going great until the final bit where one guy melted the boss asap and the headless ones couldn't spawn, and the last one the team was a bit incompetent and we let a ritual fail.
Please, Bungie, please bring back the Haunted Forest. It was better by FAR.
I just can't stand Bungie's lack of effort. I wish so bad this game would get some competition. Bungie has a monopoly on this kind of game and have gotten sickeningly complacent. I'd play something else if I could, but like I said, Bungie has the monopoly on this kind of game. I literally don't have any other options for a "Destiny Alternative"
EDIT: Finally got the One of Many challenge completed. Doesn't make me any less sour towards the activity though.

Edited by Jamestown01010: 10/27/2022 6:40:03 PMThe whole game has become running the same activities ridiculous numbers of times for meaningless objectives. Wanting Bungie to care isn’t making them care. For completing some recent challenge, I received the emblem from the Psion activity that I already had from not even that long ago. I really realized how little effort they are putting into this game. Lightfall will be the first Destiny update I haven’t purchased since D1 launch. Someone at Bungie ruined Destiny and are not being held accountable for it because they make lots of money from selling Eververse cosmetics. It has been a good run though in all fairness.
-
One of Many is rage inducing and shows just how bad a cooperative matchmaking experience can truly be when players don’t know the objective.
-
I like them. Or at least I did. You know... the fist TEN TIMES. But then they want you to do 35 of them and do all kinds of weird challenges, etc. Thirty five of them is a bit much.
-
They are definitely boring, but I'm slowly doing them.

Edited by Toots238857: 10/26/2022 3:10:37 PMThey should have made that step a part of the gilded triumphs, and not the main ones to get the seal. And 35 is still too much. 20-25 maybe. Also, the lack of effort is very apparent with them lately. It's like putting a movie on for toddlers to keep them occupied, while they handle other business. It's completely lazy at this point. Just a quick Eververse money grab with a copy-pasted activity.
-
My last triumph for the seal is to finish doing 35 of the haunted lost sectors. It is so mindlessly boring.

If Bungie doesn't try a Haunted Leviathan like F1reDawg76 suggested or bring back the Haunted Forest, which most of us are familiar with, then they'd better expect a ton of angry guardians come next October. It's a for gone conclusion. These Haunted Sectors are really, really boring. After 20, I seriously never wanted to see one again. The cheesey dialogue was an irritation by itself. I didn't have that feeling with the Haunted Forest. I was always trying to beat my last run and trying to see how many tiers our fire team could clear. These Haunted Sectors though, I don't like em at all.

12 RepliesI'm telling you, Bungie missed a huge opportunity this year. The haunted Leviathan is sitting right there, ripe for hosting this event this season. IMO, a Halloween event on the Leviathan would've been great. Instead, Bungie took the easy route and did the ole copy/paste.
-
You know… this is such a good point.
-
Then stop playing them.
-
You hate it now, just wait till you see what they have planned for next year. Spoiler report, you're playing it

Haunted forest wasn't perfect, but it was sure as hell better than rehashing lost sectors for the millionth time. The kiddy pop music and dialog seemingly targeted towards 5 yr olds was absurd too! How does that mesh with [i]any of the Lore[/i]? We have all these complex stories taking place in Witch Queen, and suddenly we get this nonsense? Wtf

OP: D2 is all about the 3 Rs…Rinse / Repeat / Recycle. It’s what we all do, all of the time…it’s how the game is played. In fact, D1 was the same…but new, then. 🤖 FWIW: I just pootle on through doing the haunted lost sectors…and without even trying, that particular Triumph got done, simply by playing the game. I’m flooded with rubbish roles for the latest ‘must have’ weapons…though, by the time I’ve completed the remaining runs to get ‘Ghost Writer’, I’m sure they will drop…or not…and that’s okay too! If my vault doesn’t burst first?! We need more vault space! Well, I know I do - again! 👈 My biggest issue with Haunted Lost Sectors is the lag / latency aspect; where exploding -blam!- suddenly materialise behind me from out of nowhere! My screen is either mega dark or firework-bright with multiple explosions and the like… 😵💫 Another issue is gilded players deliberately cutting short the activity by nuking the big boss asap!? It’s happened a few times…and I do find that strange?! 🧐 Overall, the event is familiar territory; the dressing-up of the Tower is always a hoot! 👻 And getting the g-roll sniper from the get-go was good, too; imho. Mind you, I’m a vanilla-player ‘tortoise’ who likes to pootle about nice and slow… 😁 Just my 2d worth. YMMV Cheers! MDGA 👈

2 RepliesAnd yet they are still better than the seasonal content.
-
For me it's weapon progression since the recent nerf & pages disappearing??? after completing those Sector runs I only getting 1 or 0 page but before it was around 2 - 3 page per run.
-
Edited by Hitmans_Creed: 10/26/2022 4:19:54 AM35 runs isn’t that much. It’s a 3 week event. You could literally run 2 haunted lost sectors a day, everyday, and still be done before the end of the event. What are you in a rush for? But yes haunted sectors suck. Copy & paste crap.
-
Destiny events suck. I don't know why I play them. There is no match-made content in this game worth playing. It is all so mind-numbingly easy and boring.
-
1 ReplyI’m tired of them and I haven’t even done one this year
-
2 RepliesYou think that’s bad, try playing warlock or titan in pvp. Invis hunters everywhere one tapping with wish ender, two ways to abuse invis and it’s insane amount of buffs
-
1 ReplyTrying to go for the highest level possible was what made the infinite forest fun. Haunted lost sectors are just so damn boring.
-
1 ReplyBring back the haunted forest? Nah how about bungie make something new with all this eververse and Sony money.
-
1 ReplyThey need to get rid of Haunted Sectors, boring, still bugged from last year and just zero fun. So replace Haunted Forest with Haunted Dreadnaught!!! Now that would have had me playing endlessly!!!
-
30 Repliesjust had someone with a gilded title intentionally prevent me from getting progress towards one of many, I hate this -blam!- game
-
"the last one the team was a bit incompetent" ...the last one was you, wasn't it?

Haunted sectors suck. They sucked last year & they suck this year. The stupid timer bug sucked last year & it sucks this year. The event just being a cash grab for Eververse & FoTL 2021 & 2022 have been a BIG L.
