Normally daily player, but I've played 4-5 times since finishing the campaign

Of course it is. TFS is nowhere near as good as the shills and paid reviews would have you believe. QoL hasn't been this bad since D2 Y1. I for one welcome our new Sony Overlords.

It was pretty much a given that we would feel like this after the big finish. A huge rush followed by "what now?" After beating The Witness I felt a little directionless & wasn't really interested in spending more time in The Pale Heart. I did do some Overthrow & aspect/fragment stuff but it got old quick. Hopefully Act 2 picks up. We'll see. I've got most of what I want done, so I'm easing off a bit. I'll check in Tuesday etc & do the odd 'thing' here & there. The invisible guns in Patrol isn't helping either. Some of the buggy stuff jus piles on top of the drop in momentum.

Always going to happen. The ending to this so called saga was not a bang but a whimper. The campaign missions were just pointless raid mechanic busywork with health gated bosses. The so called story was told in cutscenes with the usual standard of "writing" we have come to expect from people who think a man and his robot boyfriend's emotional incontinence is really like, hitting you in the feels man. Whatever they are. And they recycled the Red War angle of the Vanguard "Leaders" just noping out whenever things get tough. Again. I was expecting Ghaul to appear again. I mean, why not, he's been used in everything since the Red War. Episodes are just the same cut and paste "events" we have had for years where we throw or dunk orbs and then fight a bad guy at the end, just time gated even harder, and with a Season Pass full of stuff you earn in game anyway. Wow, 30,000 glimmer as a rank up reward .. Thank You Bungie. Everything in this game, and I mean everything, is designed to keep you playing rather than you actually wanting to play. So much pointless repetition. Like the endless running everywhere in so called quests. Or the "Do these six missions again on both of your other characters". All so that Bungie can make a little presentation to Sony about how much we are playing. The game is bugged to the neck right now, so many issues not even addressed and all Bungie are doing is telling us in the TWAB, TWID or whatever that they are cooking something really big for next February at the earliest and that they are making their biggest ever Exotic mission. Which we we all know will be the usual river of ads that are all more powerful than us, bound to be some raid mechanics in there as well after the skip lickers went all squirty for Dual Destiny, and it'll all be for a gun that no one will care about a week after it lands. Because you'll have to go back and do the Legend version to get anything like a decent roll. Like Whisper. And Outbreak Perfected. It'll be probably be set up so you have to play it with a second cousin on a rainy Tuesday, with a mic, in the dark while eating a pizza, or not at all. The numbers are plummeting. Steam barely cracks 100k these days after over 300k at launch. And before anyone rocks up with "Yeah. but yeah, like all games see a drop off at launch" .. please. if this game is such a ten out of ten surely it would at least hold the majority of it's players ?? .. let alone attract new ones. They do arrive but having seen how nothing is explained, and what a grind it is, most of them leave. What's to stick around for ?? .. yet another episode of Saint and Osiris do relationship therapy ??, the time gated reveal of what we all know will be yet another big bad that will be the worst big bad yet, until the next, much worse, big bad turns up ??. more battlegrounds ??, two weeks of Iron Banner ??, more nerf's to anything that displeases the streamers ??, more Eververse loaded events with "rewards" so thin you could read a paper through them ?? No thanks. This game has had it's day. Even the leaders are leaving Bungie and moving on to better things.

It was bound to happen....so many issues that so many players are unhappy with, yet [i]nothing [/i]is being addressed. Final Shape has become the Final Straw for a lot of players, who have lost interest and opted to stop playing altogether.

I agree with all the points you made. They're cute. They look like a little catepillar.

Holy -blam!- people. Why do people forget about this crap happening every single time an expansion releases. EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!! The only mass apathy occurring is with the solo only community being butt-hurt for choosing to sit out of Dual Destiny.

What is "Careful Mass Apathy"? Is it like apathy, but a more careful and larger variant? Over the weekend I hit my wall of apathy, not because of any issues with the game, more so because of what the game is. Grind to get better gear. Get better gear to increase power. Increase power to take on harder content. Take on harder content to get better gear. Get better gear to increase power. And the cycle continues. When the content is new and fresh, when you have something that you want to grind for, it's easy to overlook the repetitious core mechanics of the game, but once you've run out of things to do or things to chase, it just becomes dull doing the same things every time you boot the game up. I tried switching it up by unlocking prismatic for my hunter, but found the fact you have to re-run the side missions to unlock the extra abilities tedious, so off to play something else for awhile...

Jade Shadows is out and operation Belly of the Beast is currently running so I'm not in a rush to play destiny

What an odd post. Just fishing for angry kids or something?
