I mean the solution to your issue is just that when you burn out go play another game. Usually by the final week most players that are serious fans of destiny have done everything and it’s okay to take the final month of the season to play something else. The season is as long as it is for all players, but if you’ve done everything there’s nothing wrong with stepping away and playing something else. You’ve gotten your money’s worth, you aren’t obligated to keep playing when you have nothing new to achieve. It’s okay to be done for a season and wait until the next season to return. It’s healthy. I really wish more people would take breaks from games like that. If you’re burned out and not having fun then play a different game. Hell the seasonal model means that if you want to take a bit longer even you can wait till a bit into the season and just catch up on the new content and you haven’t missed out.

The problem is the bad far outweighs the good. So the topic of discussion for the week is usually negative.

Just saying, taking a brake is not going to fix the glaring issues. Bungie meaning the people running the show, not the devs that do the actual work don't want to fix the issues either. Each year that has gone by the game has gotten worse with... Not play testing the content they release leaving more and more issues in the game Removing things that are a benefit for the players experience The shop being pushed in our faces The monetization The seasons The "free events" Time-gating content/story "RNG" Reusing assets The "balancing", better known as nerfing The lack of not updating existing content Lying to the player base about returning content they removed among other things Controlling players on how to play the game the way they want instead of giving that players choice that the game should have. [spoiler] I only scratch the surface of things that have gone wrong with this game and have only gotten worse over time. The game should have been handed over to Activision because without them this business has run this game smashing into the ground. Activision was the only thing keeping this business in line, and the only reason we had content like Forsaken. The only time the game was in a good place since D2 was released. It doesn't matter how much the devs want to fix or improve this game, let alone how much anyone cares about the game. It's the people that are running the show that is stopping this game from going anywhere but the very poor direction it has headed.[/spoiler] The worst thing about the next expansion is knowing it's going to be more of the same with all the "hype". I don't hate the game because if I did I wouldn't be here. I'm just majorly disappointed that they destroyed the original Bungie's work/concept of what destiny was to be or where it could have gone and this business refused to explore the game's potential.

Cool story bro

True, but when I find myself burnt out, I work on the triumphs I haven't done yet - or I just raid like there's no tomorrow. I still stand by my sentiment that this game is not what you play, but who you play with, but burn out is a real thing, but there are still boatloads of content that we can enjoy to avoid the grind.

[quote]Burning out is natural for me, I play too much . So my best feedback? Either Bungie needs to drop the seasonal model , which won't happen.[/quote] Wrong approach. People need to learn that Destiny 2 is not the only game out there you can play. Got nothing to do in Destiny 2? Go play another game you enjoy. Come back later WHEN you have something to do in Destiny 2. This game isn't your 24/7/365 life. Not always.

Impossible.

I think this season has just exacerbated the issues of burnout. This season was incredibly more grindy than maybe any other season, couple that with more bugs, community events that fell flat, being teased with a potential secret mission and not getting one, and the overall discontent with PVP. We had the seasonal weapon red borders, the King's Fall red borders, and the 30th Anniversary red borders to grind out, on top of the season title also being pretty grindy (30 Ruffians which required people to grief each other to complete, on top of the 45 first mate activations) I think they will course correct and make some changes, but it might take some time. There's nothing wrong with talking breaks and coming back later.

Only hate.

They need to respect our time more

I'm right there with you. Day one Beta Test to launch to D2. D2 demands a lot. But she rarely delivers. I only ever buy expansions if have mates doing them.

Destiny is the type of game I can boot up whenever and waste about an hour or so of time and I'm fine with that. When the season is crap, it's no biggie, I have other games to play. When the season is great, more time to set aside for Destiny. Sure there's a lot of things I don't like and there's a lot of things I do but at the end of the day, it's just a time waster.

I'm truly baffled that people haven't learned to start taking breaks yet. Why enjoy playing literally any other single player or indie game that's waiting for your to check it out when you can go grind for some weapon you're never going to use? Makes perfect sense. Would it be cool if the seasonal model provided consistently engaging and creative content? Sure. But it isn't, and likely never will. So go enjoy your life, and come back at the next major expansion where all the real work is actually put in.

Too many people mainline this game and burn themselves out because they don't take breaks durning thebslow periods and play something else. Typically towards the end if a season I'll check out any xbox store sales and pick up a cheap game that's on sale with good reviews and will play it will I wait the couple week for the next season to start. Right now I'm playing Dysmantle and it's pretty good, it's only $20, bit I got it for $10.

While I agree with the title, I have to disagree with why I dislike the current game.

That’s why Bungie advocates for mental health awareness. They’ve essentially made us all Bi-Polar!!!!

There's too many games out there to fill burnt out on a single one. The second I get bored or just done with any game I just head to another one. And I'm mentally done with shooting and the flaming kicks and the racing it's off to Netflix or reading the news. I do not understand people acting like they're trapped in Destiny when they say they're not enjoying themselves. It's very unhealthy and kind of a bad look for gamings feeding the stereotype that we can't help ourselves.
