The return of the Call to Arms event had a lot of potential to bring excitement back into Destiny 2, but the current scoring system feels more punishing than engaging.
Instead of pulling players in, it’s having the opposite effect — shutting them down. The way progress is tracked seems to favor high-skill PvP players while leaving casual and mid-level Guardians feeling left out. Many players are investing time and effort but seeing very little progress, which quickly drains the motivation to keep playing.
For PvE players, the disconnect feels even greater. The event doesn’t seem to value their usual style of play, which goes against the spirit of Destiny being a shared world where all activities and playstyles matter.
Right now, Call to Arms feels more like a divider than a community event. It should be something that unites all Guardians — PvP and PvE alike — but the current scoring and structure are discouraging the majority of players instead of celebrating their participation.
Bungie has always been at its best when events bring the community together. Hopefully, Call to Arms can be reworked in that same spirit so that every Guardian, no matter how they play, feels included and rewarded.a

Edited by whateverman7: 11/15/2025 9:22:57 PMIt's a competition, not a come together/ happy to be here participation event. It's an event to see how you measure up against other players after all we've done up to this point in the expansion. That means some people will not measure up compared to others, and that's ok. The problem is people thinking they should get all the rewards no matter how they do nor what they've done this season, and that defeats the purpose of competition, rewarding playing a lot.
