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.

  • Great article. The part that I agree with most is about the fixing of things that players don't really want fired, yet ignoring the huge bugs affecting all players. I mean come on Bungie--making auto rifles and hand cannons worse is more important than vault space??? My PSN friends list has dwindled down to a single page playing Destiny, when it used to be 3-4 pages easily. I started and power leveled a second character and it just felt like a chore. Don't know if I want to spend the time doing that for a third, especially because [i]I can't fricking skip cutscenes[/i]. My group is still online on Tuesdays, but it gets pretty sporadic after that. Pretty soon I think even Tuesdays will be desolate as well.
