I have played Destiny for years and put thousands of hours into this game. This is the most out of touch TWID you guys have ever released. Sad to see a game I love killed from the inside
1) Reducing power level by 1 in all solo ops activities is a huge step backwards. The portal system isnt perfect and I get how running K1 and Cladera is not a good thing. However this is a huge step in the wrong direction. A large portion of the players in Destiny are solo players, whether by choice or because they simply dont have other people to play with. Solo ops was supposed to be rewarding for those who dont have the flexibility of fireteams all the time. And we go ahead and make it less rewarding? What happened to playing the game the way you want to or whatever was said on those live streams
2) Pinnacle ops changes are terrible. Making those less rewarding as well to shovel people into fireteam ops is not the solution. The pinnacle ops has its issues for sure but making some of these longer missions less rewarding so we now have to do battlegrounds and onslaught??? Are we actually serious. How is this even considered to be a good solution. Shoveling people into longer activities to keep them playing the game for longer just to be rewarded like they were before is so out of touch.
3) The prime engram drops in the last 50 levels are terrible. Duplicates are frequent and its a gamble whether or not you will get a level. Now making it so people have to load into the tower in order to decrypt these????? Hello??? how is this going to help in any way. This is a massive step in the wrong direction. Leveling is already frustrating and slow especially at that top level and now the system is being made much worse
4) Raids and Dungeons are pointless to run. I am an endgame PvE player and Desert Perpetual is a fun raid in concept. The loot system needs a complete overhaul. The fact that base drops in the raid arent tier 3s and then worked up to consistent 5s baffles me. Starting it at tier 1 or 2 makes it feel terrible and pointless to run. Its a time investment that people arent even willing to do because the loot system is garbage. Old raids and dungeons are pointless to run besides running them for fun. The loot is outclassed by world drops on keplar once you reach 350 power so why run the raid? Edge of Fate made the best part of Destiny which are the raids and dungeons and absolutely trashed them. Massive L on bungies end
I am not even going to get into the issues I have with not swap on contest mode and the raid race as a whole. The bugs and constant glitches persist in the game for months with no fixes. Putting a contest raid at -40 and then basically saying 'oops' when people found out. Bungie is so out of touch with the players its insane. We are tired of the "we hear you" tweets. You are killing your own game through these out of touch changes. I have many more thoughts but fear I have ranted enough already
The real Destiny killer is and always has been Bungie
