I am so incredibly sick and tired of logging in at the 19:00 reset just to find the most soul-crushing, slow, recycled garbage in the Portal playlist three days in a row.
Yesterday we got Devil's Lair, Fallen S.A.B.E.R., and The Glassway. Today we get Expedition: Europa, Battleground: Oracle, and The Technocrat. These maps are years old and feel like a spreadsheet simulator. But to make it even worse than it already is, you guys stack the absolute worst combatant adjustments and modifiers possible. Where did you even find the ideas for this? IT'S HORRIBLE!
Getting hit by a random Taken Thrall and being slowed for 3 whole seconds in a high-mobility game is poor design. It is incredibly frustrating to deal with. Being overwhelmed by enemies because movement is restricted is not "challenging," it is simply a miserable experience.
This completely kills the flow of Prismatic, ability loops, and aggressive gameplay. This game has been a part of my life for as long as i can remember. There is a deep love for this universe, but the current state of these rotations is exhausting. Players want to clear adds and feel powerful, not sit behind cover with a scout rifle because they are stuck in slow-motion or get one-shot because of game breaking threat modifiers that not even armor mods can save you from.
Not a single new strike, just the same recycled -blam!- with nightmare modifiers. This soulless rotation is exactly why everyone is quitting your game. Fix the Portal in the next update or watch the player count drop even lower.

1 ReplyWant an idea of when they'll stop doing Chill Touch? When swords aren't in the artifact pool.

Yep. And I already got half a dozen copies of the reward. Don’t need anymore Monody fusion rifles and whatever they put in there. I wish they would give you an option to pick a weapon you do not have.

1 ReplyYeah at some point the portal just becomes unplayable with the amount of bs modifiers you need to add in order to get decent loot and the matchmade activities are no better with they are always rigged to provide the most unpleasant experience possible. It's not fun, it's not challenge, it's just tedium. Whoever was the key person who okayed this bs needs to have their taint waxed.

The best combo of modifiers are stealth enemy no radar & slow mellee. Ide remove heavy & speacial weapons aswell if I could have my way & remove any matchmaking left in PvE because Ive brought this up dozens of time & was told its a skill issue every single time so..Meh Hence me not playing since not buying Renegades.

1 ReplyBungie does not care. Garbage game like Marathon getting a Pve Mode and D2 still got nothing and the portal is a huge mistake from Bungie. Clueless Devs and about Mid May news for June update not coming...its already mid May and not a peep from them. They just keep lyin and lyin. No Communication with the Community is crazy. The TWIDs are just a pain right now. Better start talking about The June update already. Like what's the issue? I rather communicate now and not 1 day before the update.

Yeah Chill Touch and Grounded are annoying modifiers they seem to be on everything

4 RepliesI like the portal, it's very organized. Just wish there were better weapons and more matchmaking activities. The modifier choices are great if you know how to make them work for you, not against you. I also wish the portal would take a back seat to the Director, which is likely to happen soon. Better to have the option to choose portal activities FROM the Director rather than being the only ugly face we see.

1 ReplyNo one asked for the changes go back to pre final shape. Better yet make this game like D1 with all the content still there.

If you think about it the portal was dead on arrival... They removed almost all of the matchmaking activities there's only three things to play at this point... Beat your head against the crucible beat your head against vanguard alerts Enjoy a nice game of Gambit ...post

3 RepliesMy question is: Why do you keep trying to play a game that clearly only frustrates you and gives you no fun?

Uh was it alive in the first place? I can’t wait for it to be gone.

Chill Touch is absolute BS. Name another modifier in the game that directly counters Hunters and Warlocks the way Chill Touch cripples Titan builds. I'll wait....... That said, S/O to the two random Warlocks I got paired with for the [i]Europa Expedition[/i] yesterday! Had one on [i]Rimecoat[/i] and another on [i]Arc[/i] [i]Getaway's[/i]. Meanwhile I was on [i]Banner[/i]+[i]Abeyants[/i] with a Support Frame Auto. We cleared in our sleep! https://destinytracker.com/destiny-2/profile/xbl/4611686018514220147/sessions

2 RepliesEdited by Wargodmini: 5/14/2026 9:55:49 PMIt's true, these modifiers are abysmal, soul crushing, horrible experience, not fun, not challenging, absolutely terrible game making If I were to be allowed to speak my mind freely, Destiny does not stand a chance to be one of the greats, this game will never be one of my all time favorites, not even remotely, nor does it deserve a rating, not a low one, not a high one, not one in betweeen, it simply does not qualify Never playing a new Bungie game again
