"We make games that try to take advantage of our veteran players"

The old Bungie motto was perfect. And it has never been more apparent why they changed their motto until these last couple months. The people making this game are not making it so that they can play it outside of work. It feels condescending to get that reclaim activity and that Bungie thought it was a banger. It is so boring and filled with so much dead air...I just don't understand how stuff like that gets through all of their design cycle. Another example; the DP raid loot at launch. Who on Earth thought it was acceptable that the raid, what is supposed to be the pinnacle end game activity, not drop the highest tier loot? Just reread some of the old TWABs and Bungie just sounds so tone deaf, like "we have heard the feedback that not getting high tiered loot doesn't feel good". Like...its a looter shooter... I just don't understand how you didn't anticipate this reaction. Sure you have the epic raid, but coming out 2 months after the normal raid honestly just feels like a malicious attempt to recap the more hardcore player base that has historically grinded everything in the game. Adding on to the malicious/predatory behavior they havebeen exhibiting are these damn holo foil events that seem to be every other week now. The into the light update before TFS did it best where we had a long period to grind them but the drop rates didn't feel too high or too low. Now it feels like you have to spend 40+ hours in brigs vs. tanks, another mode they seem content with not adding anything to, if you want that specific holofoil t5. Maybe it'd be a different story if the mode was more replayable, but they expect us to grind the same thing over, and over, and over and to be happy with a single map. Aside from those issues, not giving us any vault space and then dumping all these armor set bonuses on us as if we have space for them. This is the first DLC I havn't played on all 3 chars as evenly because it so damn overwhelming and tedious playing destiny item manager simulator. I'm not deleting stuff I worked hard on in the past, especially when they havn't given us replacements for everything in the new tiered system. I already have 0 old armor aside from the illegal sets of wep/super, if you play all 3 classes and have played the game for a while I'm sure your vsult feels the same. These decisions being made are either downright incompetent or they are just desperate to retain player stats. It's sad because I want to play the game but there is literally nothing that feels fun anymore. Everything feels like a slog thats tailored to extract as much time out of its players as possible instead of focusing on just making the game fun. Instead of making new permanent additions to the game like new charged melees, aspects, supers, prismatic nades, etc, they spend dev time on stuff nobody even cares about like the metroid ball or the portal. I will periodically check in on the game but for the forseeable future I am no longer going to be playing this as my main game as every time I login now I just check what I can buy with bright dust for the week and then sit there in orbit not knowing what to play because nothing sounds fun, then I logoff. I don't have a lot of hope for Renegades, and if you look past all the glazing and ask what actually is coming to the game that is replayable I'm sure you will see it clear as day. Hell, they spend a good 10 minutes of that vidoc talking about all the work they put into a social space...like yeah cool but once the story is beat you know damn well nobodys going to be interacting with that waste of dev resources. With an IP like Star Wars I was optimistic that we would get idk space battles that let us dog fight our cosmetic ships. But naw that makes too much sense... lets add more star wars cosmetics!

    Vibing 💯 - old

    The game is the most offensive dumpster fire that exists in the world of gaming. It is honestly so awful and so broken that it’s probably a new record in the industry. Nothing works properly, everything is somehow broken. The only way to get anywhere in this game is MASSIVE time investment and/or being around for the time windows in which exploits are available. They should honestly be so ashamed. Taking money from people for this garbage is beyond offensive. It is exploitative, shameless, and dishonest. And then they want me to give to “charity” for an emblem. Honestly, I’d rather light my money on fire than give it to you.
