  • 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.
