This expansion has killed the franchise for me.
Insane grind to level up to get new gear.
Difficulty ramped up way too high due to bullet sponges everywhere.
Cheaters everywhere
Sunset for all our gear and weapons. (and it’s gonna happen again in 6 months)
Nerfs to most of our builds.
Matterspark really does feel as awful as they say.
The fun is gone from this game and that’s a sad thing to experience.
I’ve been with this game since D1 beta. I’ve done pretty much everything in both games. (Didn’t chase titles because they aren’t my thing)
I’m not a super elite player, (hence my Bungie name) but I’m better than average and this game is ZERO fun now.
I didn’t preorder, tried the first mission.
Got most of the way through and just quit.
We’re basically made of paper plinking away at bullet sponges.
No power fantasy, no fun gameplay loop, just hide and peek shoot over and over and over.
Congrats on swinging for the fences to keep all the sweats, streamers, and ultra hardcore players. Cause the rest of us are moving on to games that respect our time and are actually fun to play.
Destiny used to be fun, but sadly it is no longer an enjoyable experience unless you make it a JOB to play.
If they see fit to enact changes to make things fun again, I might come back, until then, I’m going to take my time and dollars elsewhere.
To those of you still enjoying the game. I wish you the best and I hope this model proves fun for you.
Here’s to all the good times. Wish they could have continued on.
Eyes up guardians…

And i hate that basically the entire game that we know is just pointless now, and theyve gotten rid of every vendor reputation track except hawthorne, but they might as well have done hers too cuz it doesnt give pinnacle gear anymore. I just got done going to the lighthouse for first trials week and i hate that saint has nothing for me with a reputation rewards, the only rewards i get from trials is at the end of a match, no bonus stuff from saint, theres no new ritual weapon either, which was just a nice thing to grind for if you have nothing else to do. I've been a diehard destiny fan for a long time now with 7k+ hours in D2, and before the second week was even done, for the first time ever i actually didnt want to play the game anymore, just straight quit, i actually think bungie have truly killed the game this time and its sad.

I’m honestly trying to figure out their endgame approach without getting so pissed off I finally quit outright. Instead of making weapon chasing actually matter again they give us an arbitrary tier system for guns that you don’t even need because abilities are still king. I don’t really care about anything in game for the first time since when I quit during the double primary days. Even a new raid gun or exotic won’t make me actually do the raid. I didn’t even bother with salvations because there was zero weapons that I wanted, zero. My old raid patterns should be a tier 5, I worked hours to get these. Also the idiotic power grind and gating of content was such a horrible idea they’re losing players by the boatloads. Power deltas are stagnant yet we need to reach a power level to do said fixed power activity? Haha. You can tell this is new people ideas. People that don’t have thousands of hours already dumped into this game.

Its not just Destiny but all FPS games in general these days are simply trash until every company finally invests in installing AI anti-cheat systems into their games. BF6 is just around the corner and god forbid thatll be a nightmare too as usual...

Yup. It's just a chore, and not a fun one. The power grind is ridiculous and ultimately pointless as it gets reset in six months. The so called content is stuff that is years old that people have played to death. Empire Hunts are five years old. Battlegrounds players are sick to the back teeth of. Why isn't Fireteam Ops a list of past seasonal activities ?? .. No new PVP maps. Gambit ignored yet again. Onslaught for the Into The Light weapons gone. Pathfinder removed for no good reason. Vendors reward tracks gone. And we are constantly less powerful than every enemy, in every activity. And modifiers like less gravity are just annoying. I am only at 220 and I am already tired of running the same content we have been running for years against constantly spawning groups of ads. Sunless Cell removed so I can hunt the Warrior for the 5678755th time ??, oh look Whisper .. that must be at least six years old. No. Better games to play.

There’s just too much grind now. I dont even feel like I can go into PvP because everyone is rocking gear that gives them and edge!

3 RepliesThey have to kill this game so MARATHON can come in for the save with all the stolen content 🤣

5 RepliesYour gear has been sunset? Woah, that’s crazy. I can still use all of mine! Guess I’m lucky…. And your builds are worse?! How? What’s wrong? Cause mine feel fine. In a lot of cases they are even better. The grind is long, yes, but it is straightforward. Regular play likely nets most people tier three rewards by the end of a season. Reminder that tier three loot is better than old loot. With the right rolls of course. I see so many complaints that seem to indicate lack of creativity and experimentation. Yes, these are new systems that will take time to adjust to. Where’s the curiosity, man?

Fabled story and latch completions should bring guardians to 300 Mythic story and latch completions should bring guardians to 400 450 from portal and conquests This would be the best streamlined grind and hope Bungie incorporates it into the game. The fact that fabled and mythic give no loot or reward progression towards power level at all is bad. This method would make doing fabled and mythic worthwhile and respect everyone's time commitment and keep players happy and progressing appropriately.

1 ReplyEdited by The Hermit IX: 7/27/2025 7:09:21 PMGrind and cheating is legit. 70% of teams in Contest having a cheater is astonishing. Difficulty and sunset gear isn’t. You choose your difficulty and can customize it. Our gear isn’t sunset. I’m using all my old gear and have better builds than pre EoF. Nerfs and buffs happen every single time content drops in the game for balancing. I don’t like Matterspark in the campaign but it’s a powerful ability post campaign. There’s people who hate it while others love it. Enjoy whatever games you move onto.

Same here
-
it sucks now
-
The only issue i have with Matterspark is that sometimes you will get one shot. Other than that, i actually do like it.
-
100% I’m just finishing off old stuff not investing into the game until it changes.
-
Difficulty ramped up? I’m 1 hitting everything in sight on grandmaster, idk what you’re doing
-
Designed that way, see you in marathon
-
9 RepliesGame is actually better for casuals - I didnt like the campaign special abilities either though. The changes to the way power works actually allows you to over level content again. My kids are having fun again vs being stuck -5 constantly in the strike playlist.
