So, let me see if I fully comprehend exactly what Destiny 2 is going to be like for the foreseeable future. *Sunset weapons *Un-sunset weapons *Re-sunset weapons *Sunset armor *Un-sunset armor *Re-sunset armor We'll pause here for a moment because I am genuinely flabbergasted that you, Bungie, think the key to get players playing again is to, and this literally what this is, force them to get the gear they already have over and over again if they want to keep using it. This is doubly confounding when it comes to armor because you've already made it such a God-awful chore to masterwork a full set of armor that I'd be willing to bet that most players, and I'm just talking ones who have been with D2 since the start, either only have one character with one set of MW armor or, at most, each character has one MW set. Yeah, that's fun. But let's continue.. *Removing more than half the content players have paid for at any given time. *Replacing removed content with: **Content from Destiny 1 (and even with that..) **Not nearly as much as was removed I just... On a scale from 1 to even, I can't. *Ever-increasing the "Power Level" which is, actually, nothing more than an artificial number that simply dictates whether or not you can participate in an activity yet or not. *Adding new Artifacts, Fragments and Mods as a substitute for any form of meaningful RPG element. Yeah.. Power Level is an absolute joke because it doesn't mean anything at all. Everything levels with you or is just always above your level to give you a bigger bullet-sponge... I mean, "challenge." That said, I have played and do play games that also have enemies that scale to your level to present that challenge or are always a higher level for players to overcome. But those games do it better. How? Because they're ACTUALLY RPG GAMES! I have to build my character to the way I want to play. I sacrifice strengths with certain weapons and gear in order to make the weapons and gear I want to use the most powerful it can be. By doing so, even when I'm going up against max-level characters, I have built my character in such a way that I can still do insane damage to kill the enemies quickly as long as I'm using my build correctly. But those enemies can still wipe the floor with me but that's because they're at-or-above my level so I have to be efficient. The way D2 does things is... Everybody does the same thing! There's no true difference between my Titan and someone else's Titan. We're gonna run near-identical weapons, mods and subclasses for each activity because the game's made to basically be played only a handful of ways. For that matter, there's no real difference between my Titan and someone's Warlock or Hunter and vice versa. Only things different about anybody's characters are their double-jump mechanic and what color their outfit is. Otherwise, we're all using Falling Guillotine or Lament while using Stasis with Whisper of Fissures. It's astounding at how much potential there is for this game to be an amazing RPG. A world rich in lore and stories still being told. Weapons and armor to make us more powerful against our foes. But we don't get any of that. Everybody runs the same weapons (mostly and overall) with the same mods on their gear. The lore and stories are there but we don't experience most or any of it and, instead, either just get told that something happened or have to go find extra reading material that's NOT part of extended lore but actual, current goings on that would be useful to discover while PLAYING the game. And we still get slapped around by a couple Dregs in Trostland but I've already spoken about the laughable nature of "power level." It's boring. It's dull. It's dry. It's beyond repetitive. I bought the full year of Beyond Light because of some friends and my clan and, by gods, do I regret doing it. I love playing with those guys but I don't love playing this game. I'll play what I've paid for and then I'm just finally, at long last, putting Destiny squarely in my rear view mirror and only watch it fade back into the distance from nothing more than my peripheral. Because it doesn't deserve anything more than that.

  • I been gone since taken king I just came to look at the forums since I haven’t played in forever. Sounds like the game is not where it should be. D1 was an amazing game I think bungie should revert back to roots. I mean COD had to do it why not bungie do it.

  • This post was well thought out and put extremely well. I just want to have fun again with my destiny buddies. I used to love this game but realized that I have not been enjoying it. The pve is alright but lacking a lot of content now. Pvp is waaaaayyyy effed as of right now. I don’t want this game to die but we can’t go on like this.

  • More like I'm frustrated with my horrible, financial investment into this venture. Like anybody in a business relationship would be and especially so if the one paying for the transaction to occur took so long to learn his or her lesson on dumping capital into a stock that has no positive, beneficial ROI.

  • I'm with everyone saying ill keep playing what I bought but I'm about 89% sure I'm out next expansion. This isn't a threat or some snarky "I QUIT" rant. It's a sad admimission that a game I have loved and have always thought could be more than it is never will be. It's not even that it costs a lot but I can't justify what I'm getting for my money. Then I think about them swimming like scrooge McDuck in silver and I'm like wtf is the content you promised on top of expansions and seasons. And you stole my places and stuff. Sigh....

  • That last paragraph rings a bell with me. I quit the game during the end of ShallowKeep year. I also bought the entire ShallowKeep last year. I waited the entire year for a glimmer of hope. None! I realized that was the worst year Bunyon ever did to D2. Worse than Year 1. Then Sunsetting came. I said this is the end for me. This is just BS now. So I quit last season. Didn't buy Beyond Lite. Never looked back. So glad not in this garbage anymore. So glad. I feel bad for you because I was on the same shoes last year as you are now. I knew this was coming. And here we are. Even if the game costs 1 dollar now, I still wouldn't buy it, not even play it if it's totally free. That's how bad it is. There is a saying never burn bridges. I did on this one, and I'm so happy. Never looking back. Same with their future games. Not enthusiastic. Credibility destroyed. They did this to themselves. None to blame but themselves.

  • ...yet here you are, dismissing the game, yet clinging to the Destiny boards. Had you the conviction to stand by your opinions, no post was needed and not a word uttered, simply wash your hands of all Destiny and make the silent exit. However, this? Your post, your rant, it does little and only reinforces the notion that Destiny will never truly die by those who'll proclaim otherwise.

You and I and everyone here are FREE to do whatever they want. He only gave us a set of rules on how to live. If you break it, you go to jail, or whatever they call it. Got it?... 😂 And games don't die, bud. You can play them anytime. Games don't die, they just get burried!

I made an observation and called out the OP. There is nothing more to that, no direction or telling people how to live. Honestly, you just didn't like what I posted and reacted emotionally, even uttering "God" of all places. Log off and take a break.

There are plenty of the same things about what I said here and everywhere. It's not just me. Look around you, there are plenty like me all around you. And yet you are here making an issue about it for yourself. 😅

  • False. The OP has an issue, we're the audience, i.e., "Reader" and thus post "Opinions" accordingly, along with the rest of "everyone else", to include, you and me. Like I said, you're simply reacting to my post emotionally because you didn't like my "tone", have very little self control and tried to respond with meaningless white knight nonsense 😌

I didn't start this. You did. If you have an issue with the OP that is before me, then talk to him. I'm responding to you because you attacked me first. You started this. Not me. Go ahead and follow the thread were this all began. You responded to me first by attacking me. I'm just replying to your accusations. Again, I have no issues. You do because you started this.

  • Attacked? Lol, see, emotional are we? It wasn't an attack, it was an observation and call out. By your own admission, you don't play Destiny 2, the latest expansion. The OP was referenced because you agreed with the OP, thus by extension, no different than the Topic at hand, that is, complaining about a game on the actual games board. Truth is, you don't play, thus you're irrelevant and your opinions moot, tainted by biased perception of Destiny content that didn't fully materialized like you thought. Point is, you got called put for BS and you're still hanging around, like an EX...like I said.

    "Call Out?..." That's also a form of attack. You just contradicted yourself and confirmed mine that you attacked me first!😅😅😅 I played D2 for 3 years. Fully paid, not free. You don't need to tell me what this game is all about!😅😅😅 Played the franchise for 6 years since it started. All fully paid. I'm still playing D1 now, the better version of this game. Are you gonna kick me out from that too? 😅😅😅 I can be here as much as you. Look around you. Everyone has an opinion. Go stop them from writing that down too. If you can! 😅😅😅

  • So now we're down to frivolous BS because you were called out? That's not a form of attack you dunce. You playing Destiny for x amount of years and however much you paid is irrelevant. You posted garbage about not playing anymore, while still using Destiny Boards, lol, basically plumber advice from someone who doesn't actually plumb 🤭 However, I do play, max light, solo activities, been there, done that. Your rants are basically some newb incapable of playing a super easy game who practically wants loot thrown at them for very little effort. Sorry bro, no handouts or tissues in a forum of active Destiny players who's inputs are vastly more preferred over some nobody who whines, doesn't actually play and sticks around like a bad stink reminiscing of the old days, that are now moot. Destiny is a good game.

Then says it's not. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 Some people are slow, eh?... 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 Guy walks into a bar, started punching. Got arrested, denies it and calls it a handshake. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 I didn't realized people who are slow are also EMOTIONAL! 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Over usage of emoticons = Emotional and Triggered. It's actually pretty sad that you keep persisting to no avail. I mean, no effective rebuttal but the same regurgitated nonsense over the course of your few paltry post because you got called out for complaining about a game you no longer play, yet still skulk the Destiny Forums? You should try to be more original instead of trying to take my points on your uselessness in the sphere of Destiny.
