Kotaku sums up Destiny player burn-out

http://kotaku.com/five-months-in-hardcore-destiny-players-are-hitting-a-1684813586 This is not a bash. It comes from someone who, like many of us, really likes Destiny but is reaching a point of burn-out. The things that popped out to me are the lack of carrots and poor communication from Bungie. If you trawl the forums, you'll find many threads dedicated to each point made, but this is a handy summation of the frustration hardcore Destiny players are, and have been, facing of late. I'm no hater, and like Kirk, the article's author, I know there's an unbelievable game inside Destiny. I'm looking forward to HoW, but until then, it'll just have to be a strike now and again. Edit 1: You guys all rock. It's been a very clear-headed conversation in here so far, aside from some weak trolls. And thanks for the bumps! I think it's good to read what a lot of us have been thinking. Edit 2: I'm pretty sure the forum ninjas have buried any Kotaku-related posts so they don't trend. That's their prerogative, and somewhat understandable despite the normal levels of vitriol you can generally find on these forums. Feel free to bump if you think others should read it but, after over twenty-four hours of pretty constant replies from you crazy, magnificent bastards, it's fair to say that we don't need an article to spur healthy discussion about one of our favorite games. [spoiler]You guys are -blam!-ing killing my phone.[/spoiler]

  • O wow. He pretty much covered everything I feel. I too am one of those day 1 players chasing my Gjallarhorn and Saint 14. I started as and main a titan. Xur always sucks. Nightfalls haven't been fruitful in months. I've been slowly tapering off, playing less and less. They patch everything that's beneficial to players progressing (loot caves, cheeses, soloable nightfalls) and leave things that are broken and mess up the experiences (broken vog portals anyone?). The Vex pvp nerf was needed but should have been left alone for pvers. Now they are making other guns worse to make pulse rifles seem better. Time for a break.
