Reacting to Aztecross latest video “Destiny 2 is dying.”

For reference, I am a Destiny 1 beta veteran, I also have over 4K hours in Destiny 2. I want yall to share your story and talk about why you left or still play. I simply left because of one primary issue, making the raids and other content too difficult to do. PvE sweats will say “Get good.” Does it really matter to “get good” if the game is dead due to excluding the majority of the player base? Bungie should know its audience, Bungie should know that shortly after new content release, the “KWTD” post start popping up. The game should be fun and sadly it has become unenjoyable for me personally. Clarification - Aztecross didn’t say the game was dead, he read articles about the state of the game and reported. He did express concerns about the player population. Edit 1, Solution: Make PvE content easy enough that a new player/casual can learn fairly quickly, have one or two mechanics at most and lastly, make raids/dungeons fun, make the guardian look forward to raiding/dungeons. The contents priority should be fun. Edit 2: GodSlayer title bashing, who cares if I have it? It’s proof that I have done a fair amount of raiding and I still find some of the raids difficult, sad to see the community still be elitist.

    I still play, just not a lot. The only reason is that the gunplay is still up there. Its fun to shoot stuff in Destiny. And the game looks amazing, the art direction and music is top notch. As for why I am on the way out of the door .. The story. It's become a joke. This is an amazing world but it's like everything stops so we can concentrate on this one thing over here. And the writing is just atrocious. The Episodes are awful. Echoes ended with us knowing the identity of the Conductor, which most of us guessed anyway, and that was it. Along the way it was four months of therapy for two gay couples. And then, when the Conductor was stood with just a couple of Vex while Ikora, Saint and Zavala and us stood there just watching, she got away by jogging away slowly. As for Revenant, it's been like two minutes of story of which I care not one jot. Bungie are incapable of writing a coherent, engaging story. It has to be about emotions or relationships. There is more story in a Witcher 3 side quest than the entire past two seaso .. "Episodes". And the time gating of a Season Pass is ridiculous. Bugs .. Way too many and way too little effort being directed at sorting them. Content Vaulting .. The amount of content we have lost, that we paid for, is beyond the pale. I want so many locations and their associated activities back and imagine being a new player and not being able to play the Red War or Forsaken ?? .. Ridiculous. The Reef was cool, I loved the Fallen Disco Lost Sector. These are integral parts of the lore that we cannot play anymore. Activities .. I dont Raid or do Dungeons. Raids are just tedious mechanics for me. Haven't touched Vespers Host after hearing about the bugs and the bullet sponge boss a la Ghosts of the Deep. But the core activities of this game are my bigest bugbear. Gambit, we had two modes, Prime was taken away. Armour Sets focused on Gambit roles that we could chase. Most weapons are meh. We got a new map, that you hardly see and we also now have constant catch up mechanic invasions which make trying pointless because the other team are helped to catch up with you. Dares has been left to rot, the loot is terrible and there is hardly anything of it anyway to make the effort worthwhile. Vanguard Ops .. Wow, instead of all the varied strikes we could have we get Battlegrounds, over and over .. and over. We played them for an entire season, enough. Bring back the Devils Lair from Rise of Iron with the Snow and the Guitar solo as well as Pyramidion, Savathuns Song and all the other strikes that were removed. Add in Strike Specific loot and bingo, I'll play that for days. I only play PVP during Iron Banner but the laggy connections, cheaters, and rubbish game modes have killed my interest in that as well. The difficulty .. I like a bit of Difficulty, but c'mon. When I am doing a 2005 Nightfall and my 2030 Warlock with 100 Resilience and 99 Recovery is getting insta melted by a red bar Arc Wizard something is wrong. It feels like the response to improving the game is just to put more enemies, with more health that move around more. And then timegate the Boss as well, the Shank at the end of the Cosmodrome has four different sections for pete's sake. Why ??, it just feels off on so many levels. I am 2010 on all three characters with 20 on the artifact and I don't feel powerful, power level is just a number to gatekeep entry to activities. There's more. But I am bored of typing and cant be bothered listing it.
