The State of the Game

This expansion has been a PTSD nightmare for veterans. I stopped playing the game for a bit around season of the black armory and picked it back up about halfway through shadowkeeps span and by god can i say this game feels exactly the way it did when curse of osiris dropped. your "difficulty" increase is not an engaging and fun difficulty but rather a tedious grind fest that makes every activity unbearable to play. there is no joy to be had in this game anymore. there is absolutely no reason a patrol space should be a legend difficulty area. along side that, your changes to lake of shadows and arms dealer have been some of the most out of tune changes with the sole purpose of making those so tedious that they went from the best and most fun the being on the same level as the hollowed lair. vanguard playlist basically has no fun mission anymore since it consists of unfun battlegrounds from previous seasons that last too long, strikes that were already unenjoyable, and the Frankenstein's monster that were the reworked ones because how dare we be able to do something faster. crucible isnt fun, trials was somewhat enjoyable but we get maybe 12 days in a season to play that and there is no guarantee you wont ruin it the next time it comes around. iron banner has terrible matchmaking and is the most unrewarding and unfun gamemode in the entire game. crucible as a whole is garbage because of your insistence on objective based game modes being the only things that should exist in your eyes and removing clash for who knows what ungodly reason popped up into your brains. I wont even say anything about gambit. the only reason to really play crucible or gambit for me is to get the old shaders but the drop rates are so abysmal that i would probably have a better chance at getting every raid exotic before i get one of them, let alone the ones i actually want. the new armor system was so dumbed down it hardly leaves room for any sort of uniqueness to it. every build is copy and paste with weapons and subclass things changing. you are actively killing your game and the further you dig this hole the more people are going to cheer when it fails.

    • For bungie making destiny fun falls into “overdelivering” so I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

      • I like the gameplay side of things they are right now. Feels way more active than it ever did, especially with the new armor mod system. As for the story line - I don't care about that really.

        • If they just added a bunch of new crucible/gambit maps and strikes every big expansion there would be little backlash but too lazy to do that…

          • I left the game five months ago for several reasons, namely: Excessive grind, unnecessary/unwanted changes and complete abandonment of my favourite aspect of the game even though I was never good particularly good at it: PvP. Sure, PvE can be fun. Raids are fun... The first 20 times you do one. Doing the same Raid 80 times to get the Exotic isn't. Running the same Grandmaster Nightfall 100 times to get whatever roll you want on the Adept weapon of the week isn't, either. Bungie relies way too much on players having to repeat the same activity over and over again to buy them time as they make the next season. So much so, they even went and made the Commendation system, something no one asked for, a real chore. To add further insult to injury, Bungie seems to have thrown everything they learnt about making a good campaign with Witch Queen out the window, judging by Lightfall reviews. Now you don't even have a good campaign to look forward to. Then there's changes no one asked for, like Powerful Friends, Citan's Ramparts, Solar 3.0 (especially Titan and Warlock, which have gotten worse), Crucible (they are STILL working on MM, 7 months later), which brings me to the next part... PvP. Terrible connection issues (especially this season), no new maps (when they could easily release one per season), recycled game modes placed where they don't belong (Rift in Comp) and every now and then, an exciting new weapon (Immortal).

            • State of the game is terrible, one word is all you need lol. Terrible writing, terrible characters, terrible story continuity, terrible everything really. Yeah quality of life updates are cool but those aren’t part of expansions that people pay for, that’s just for everyone. Yeah strand is neat, yeah I run it, no it does not feel like anything even related to the darkness, especially not in any sort of context it (darkness) has ever been narratively explained it out into practice. Stasis feels dark because it’s completely different from anything we have, and it’s all about essentially exerting your will over others in the form of control. Strand is just strings and bugs. They could have made Soulfire and integrated strand element into the Soulfire, but nOOoO Bungie has to be unique. Kinda sucks as someone who always looked forward to that hive green magic with poison, glyphs, and should all mashed together with that witchcraft aesthetic to bring doom to all the -blam!- in the land. So sad and such a waste. Again, it is fun to mess around with, but thematically there is zero reason for literally anyone in the tower to think “ooOOhhh spooky darkness.” It is just strings and bugs and not much more than that. Of course this is all my own opinion, but ya know

                • Yep, I agree with you completely. This is what happens when you have an 8 year old broken and empty game run without creativity. These guys can’t do squat anymore. Hahahahahahaha! The game has no depth, is stretched thin with no creativity at all, and yet is being milked thicker than rotten cheese. 8 years ago, these guys were bragging that they will place this game at the level of Star Wars. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 8 years later, this is what you get. A broken and empty game full of recycled dump stretched out from sea to shinning sea! Star Wars level huh?… A bunch of DELUSIONS! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! There will come a time in your life when somebody will give you an advice and say it’s time to move on?…This is that time. It’s time to move on. There is nothing here but an empty game. Hahahahahahaha! Welcome to hollowness!

                  • I played destiny for the first time in a month to play crucible and it’s the same old same old. I’ve been saying this for years now, they need to get rid of sbmm it’s boring for sweats like me and obvious if I’m on a losing team or a winning team. Glad I did not get the dlc or the seasons because nothing has changed and I don’t see players using the new strand subclass.
