To the Player who starts Destiny every day.

Hi reader, last week somebody told me that the DLC is gonna get released in May. At first I didn't believed him, but after some Internet resarch it is more than likely to be true. So... we got the Crota Raid at the beginning at December. Next NEW Content is in May. If I count December as a whole month and May too, that is six months with no new content. Doing the same missions again, doing the same Raids again. And Crota is half as good as Atheon, and takes half the time. That's a fact. You maybe are also kinda similar position as me: You might wanna get some weapons you don't have (I miss Gjallarhorn, Monte Carlo, Hawkmoon and the fu**** Black Hammer). I am not a bad player. I guess above the average? I did the flawless Raid if that counts and I didn't managed to complete the Crota Raid in the first week, but I in the next week and 3 times in every week until now. If I counted correctly this makes 13 weeks, thats something about ~39 times Crota has fallen. And I didn’t got the Black Hammer. So his is really not a good Loot System I think. If you got this far with reading this (I honestly don’t think I get any reply) and you are in a similar situation here is my question: Why do you go on play Destiny? Because I might wanna stop. And I am not sure if I am gonna play the DLC anymore. Because I don’t want to get in the same situation again - like now.

  • I enjoy the raids still (assuming I'm getting some kind of reward even though I mostly have). I'll do the raids in my character and the nightfalls, then unless I have a sudden interest in some PvP I'll stop playing for the week.

  • I've kind of hit a wall lately in destiny. The thought of doing another roc strike, bounties, whatever makes me not want to play. I did two nightfalls last night and still have one more 30 weekly to do but beyond that, nothing else really makes me want to log in and play. I think for the next couple of weeks I'll just do nightfalls and weeklies and try to recharge my batteries so to speak. I've played the hell out of this game and like it, just lately haven't been into playing it as much.

    • I'm a college student and a restaurant maanger. This is my hobby. It's a nice way to relax after a long day, or a good way to break away from homework for a couple hours. I know there are other games out there, but nothing I'm really excited to play. (The new COD was very overrated )Mortal Kombat will take some of my time in April but I'll still be logging a lot of hours. Met some really cool people and it's been a lot of fun overall. It's been frustrating and very lacking in some aspects, but it's been an immersing journey and I'm excited to see the next step in the universe

    • I have every exotic weapon, beat the raids, and 2835 grimoire. Simply face is, I only play Tuesdays for nightfalls and weekly now. Destiny is failing hard with two pvp and no new PVE content. I already ordered HoW so I'll play it, but after that, unless Comet is major and less than $30, I'm done with this game, for good. There's nothing new anymore and the gameplay is fun with friends, but so is The Last of Us and Evolve

      • I have nothing else to play. Sure there are plenty of other games out, but not spending more money on them is always good. I like playing with my friends. I've got more friends playing Destiny right now than I've had online since Halo 3. It's always more fun to play with friends. As tiresome and old as the same missions get, the combat is still solid.

        • I play mostly because I have fun playing it with the people that I've met playing. Makes it way more enjoyable to do things over and again. Plus I truly get excited getting that legendary or exotic item, even if I won't use it or need it. Also I think I'm addicted.....

        • I just wrote about this this morning somehow on the frustration on the RNG system at least on Croats Raid https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/106280469/0/0/1 I'm very frustrated on the fact that after 30 completions of Crotas raid where at least 70% have been on Normal mode I get the same reward over and over again. Regardless of an RNG system, this is almost factually impossible. I've done everything from logging in and out, staying in the same session and using three different characters over different days and the result tends to be always the same, the Song of Ir Yut plus some shards. Sometimes I basically get nothing or a helmet but how could it be that I don't get any other weapon? (it's not like there are no options, Rocket, Shotgun, Sniper, Fusion Rifle) I know this will probably will go unanswered by Bungie but I'd love to hear your point of view on this. So to recap, if you consider that I have 1/6 chances to get loot (1 from 6 guardians) and once I can get loot I can have a chance to get an exotic weapon, shaders, spaceship, sparrow, armor, and weapons: 1. Armor - Helmet 2. Shader - Criptographic 3. Shader - Glowhoo 4. Sparrow - Graverobber 5. Ship - Light in the Abyss 6. Weapon - Rocket - Hunger of Crota 7. Weapon - Fusion Rifle - Light Of the Abyss 8. Weapon - Machine Gun - Song of Ir Yut 9. Weapon - Shotgun - Swordbreaker 10. Weapon - Sniper - Black Hammer 11. Exotic item Note: I'm not counting shards or energies since everyone seems to get this by default. So lets make this easy. Every week I have 1 in 11 chances (considering the exotic items are just taken as items in the equation and not an exceptional drop) that means that I have 9% chances to equally getting any of these items. So if we consider 30 Raid runs, where 20 have been done in normal and at least the item has dropped for me 50%-60% of the times. Is it logical that I only get the same item over and over again. The answer is that although is not impossible it also proves there's something extremely wrong with the RNG loot tables or that there are predefined loot tables that a player can be stuck on.

          • Its fun to play sh*t faced with friends. Otherwise I don't see why people would even want to play the same thing over and over and over and over and over by them self. Unless you actually enjoy knowing exactly what's going to happen every second of a strike or daily, then more power to ya

          • I play because of my team, if they weren't on, and weren't asking me to play, I probably wouldn't continue. As far as chasing weapons - eh, I can use what I have & if I never get the others, oh well, made it this far without them, obviously don't need them. There are times when I turn on the xbone & sit & wonder for a minute "Why am I still playing?" - overall it IS a fun game, but more content would be most welcome...

            I only get a few hrs of play time a day. Just hit 32 on my main last night. What I have learned is that there is always something to level up. You might find a weapon that you love once leveled ( or a whole subset of weapons) or a perk on a piece of armor that you didn't realize was there. I keep 8 exotic armor pieces on my Titan, and use 3 regularly. All but one is completely leveled. Plus, no ghorn, hawkmoon, and several other exotics. Sometimes I jump on to help friends with the raid. There is always something to do, even if it's just roc strikes. Plus I had taken a two week break a little after tdb came out, then fell right back in lol.

          • Hmmm maybe play a different game? I've found my new grind on Dragonball Xenoverse. When I come back to Destiny during the week it's refreshing.

          • Like Bungie does, I put "carrots" to reach as goals. First was getting one character to level 32, then it was my 2nd, now its my Titan. After that, I guess would be to get all Exotic weapons, then max grimoire. I guess I might stop when I run out of carrots, but who know, maybe I keep playing for fun *gasp*

I have every exotic for warlock and every gun exotic except for the Nechrocasm and Pocket infinity (bounty is almost finished) yesterday I decided instead of having my friend use his account to give it to me I went and bought DBZ xenoverse, and I am not dissapointed. Ill drop on destiny for bounties and events but Im finally taking a break from it

                  • Too many people got married to this game. Games are to escape reality and relax, have fun. If you are not having "fun" anymore, stop playing.. Literally everyone i know has taken a break from this game. We all love it, just that it's nothing new.. Im a swordguy so im always being invited to raids, don't mind at all. I still have mad love for the game. Just not putting in time like when I first started.. Bungie if you read this (doubt it) QUEENS WRATH PLZ. I know they see the number of active players PLUMMETING

                  • I am strictly a raid/nightfall player now. I have been here since day 1, still enjoy the game (frustrating at times), but I only go for the exotics drops as I am only missing Gjally & Nechro. gonna put the game down once I get Gjally.

                    I play video games because I find them entertaining and fun. If you do it for a different reason, then you're doing it wrong.
