I’ve played this game religiously for the last 4 years just before TTK dropped in D1. I was addicted instantly and went from playing on my sons Xbox to buying my own just so I could play it late into the evening without disturbing my son in his room. I don’t get much time to play but the little I do I always enjoyed and managed to find a few friends along the way. Unfortunately those friends are now long gone and I’ve managed to hold out playing with the meagre drip fed content over the last 12 months. But sad to say I’ve had to put down the controller and walk away, last weekend I hopped on to catch up with one old fellow guardian for a few hours but haven’t played since. This isn’t burnout because I could never play for long enough to reach that point, it’s just boredom plain and simple, this season has literally zero enjoyment and zero reason to pick up a controller and play it. In all honesty I’m just sad because this game at its heart is a golden goose capable of being so much and having infinite possibilities, and yet Bungie seem to miss the mark every single time. The only real change will come when players walk away from this game in significant enough numbers that it impacts Bungies pocket, I’d honestly love to see that happen but I know it never will.

  • I wish my dad played, then he might understand.....alas, he just thinks I’m stupid. Also, not to be mean, but did you use a pulse rifle? Just kidding.

  • I feel your pain on the loss of friends to play with. My core dried up as well. In 2014 we were all new dads that decompressed by raiding and nightfalling together. The spark that held us in D1 slowly passed and they all moved on.

  • I’m sorry to hear that, I think sometimes thats what some people on these forums don’t get, it isn’t just Bungie or the game that we get angry and frustrated at but the impact in real life that it’s had. I’m sad because I made friends, people I used to share every weekend with, kicking back with a beer and whiskey on a Friday & Saturday night after a tough week at work running raids or nightfalls or just simply goofing around. Friends who like me really only played Destiny so don’t get online anymore and play anything else. That’s all gone now due to the direction Bungie decided to take this game, and to be fair I don’t blame my friends because they saw what was coming far sooner than I did. I guess I just blindly hoped Bungie would turn a corner and make this game great again. But alas that’s not to be so and I just cannot even work up the enthusiasm to even log in and play. 😥

  • You hit the nail on the head. When people say, "It's ridiculous to feel so strongly, it's just a game," they ignore that the game has been the catalyst for real world bonds. I had some great times with some truly great people, that I enjoyed immensely. All of those people were gone, long before I quit.

  • Well said. I’m in the same boat and just bummed. I’m not much of a ranter, but shared OP’s frustration with emblems, of all things, getting priority. Smh...
