Long time player, and I’ve spent years convincing people to give it a try and to try and dive into the world that you created.
I just wanted to give some feedback in regards to the new direction this game is going.
You have every right to change whatever it is you want with the game, for sure… but at the same time it starting to feel like it isn’t OUR game anymore. Personally, I started to fade away from Destiny after the seasonal model started, and I came back full force with beyond light.
There was that dark and mysterious theme surrounding the game again, and the feeling of dread could still be felt sometimes like when you discovered a dark monument in the DSC. In my opinion, Destiny has always felt visceral and weighty when the themes were dark and grim.
But since Lightfall, the big expansion we were all waiting for, we see the exact opposite.
What was once VERY convincing writing that drove a dark narrative forward with slight comic relief and intrigue turned into what looks like new writers who have zero self awareness as they dismantle everything that made destiny great. I’m sorry, it’s just so obvious that someone “thought” they new better than the experience writers.
I now have lost all confidence in the world I loved for so many years. I see the writing team snipping things up almost on a whim to force the game into a narrative we never wanted.

Players only use that word because Bungie said anger and hate are a couple degrees off from love and they get concerned when the player base becomes apathetic. There’s plenty of venom on the forums not apathy. An apathetic player wouldn’t be playing regularly or a rank 10 either. If a player was truly apathetic towards D2 they wouldn’t post about it. As far as the story… Destiny has never had a strong or consistent story. Great lore but an average story at best. People play because of unmatched gunplay and space magic. Destiny sits in its own niche and no other company wants to try to directly compete with them. Bungie is fully aware they own it unchallenged.
