Enjoy more bounties and patches that break the game instead.
Yeah I'm not making that mistake again I barely played any of the annual pass. Looking forward to the expansion though I'm always happy to have new story missions in Destiny.
The Avengers had a bunch of characters everyone cared about. Destiny 2 has half-emotionless robots who give you bounties and sometimes talk during a mission. Not a great comparison.
I'm just one player, but they've lost my money.
I love Destiny and have been there from the very beginning pre-alpha on Ps4. I love the lore and story, but man, i just cant keep playing a small variation of the game ive been playing for 7 years over and over. Its always 2 steps forward 1 step back with Bungie.
I'll watch streams and read about it, but financial-wise I just think im done.
Yes i full realize Bungie missing my $40 will bankrupt them....but I'm positive i'm not alone.
What, Red Hive or Ice Hive or Spooky Recolors aren't good enough for you, entitled gamer? lol
They're not going to have THE conflict Destiny's been building to be the subject of one of their four minor side-seasons. Obviously the big yearly expansion is going to feature the war proper.
Yeah I'm looking forward to a new expansion, especially since its not another rehashed area from D1. I dont even know what besides the exotic quest were season pass only over the last year. Best part of the season pass for me was the mats to MW stuff but with sun setting I'll never do another set of armor so thats pointless too.
With all the jokes I make about Gambit I really did like it at the start, always can hope they fix some of the issues (power lvl adv, weapons, spawning, wall hack, ect). Also add some fucking maps for god sake.
It's good that you are not going to support it if you don't want to but i'm positive that sales are not going to be impacted at all and that's not a slight on you, it's because this same type of thing is said constantly especially on places like destiny reddit and than it doesn't matter. The game still has enough good things about it that I and many others want to support it. I hope you change your mind but I've heard destiny is dead so many times that's why it's lost meaning (I don't mean from you)
I thought the post in this page was talking about the expansion being another set-up.
Ah, I misread. (Some people really do think that season 11 is going to be the big battle and it's been baffling to me.)
My hope for the expansion is just more streamlined progression.
They course corrected way too much from the simplified progression they had in Destiny 2 at the beginning. Now it's a mess. If I picked up the game right now I wouldn't even know where to start to progress and I have so many unfinished quests that I don't know if they are worth or not. For a loot game that shouldn't be as hard as it is currently.

Give me an easy to get into returning player experience for once and I'll be back for real. Don't lock me behind 2 month long quests as a returning player and make new weapons actually good so I don't have to go back to get those long quest weapons.
I agree they definitely need to fix that. It's something that they have talked about and hopefully they fix asap
The game often seems to operate under the assumption that you are a career Destiny player that dutifully completes everything you are given. Structure and presentation of quests must be awful in the UI and otherwise if you are either new or are coming back after a break.
This is my problem with the game, literally my main and ultimate issue as a player who's been wanting to return for about a year so far. Just way too daunting.
One of the reasons I left was because progression just got too muddied at a point. I wasn't advancing my power level or getting any cool rewards.
Thinking of going back to this season (didn't play the current one) and I just fear the same will happen. The game feels very hostile to casual play right now.
I go to dark places when I see the Drifter and those dumb finger movements.
For all of Vanilla Destiny 2's problems it rightly understood that repeated content should be simple. Do all your shit, get out, play something else. Now since all the changes they are catering to the Destiny 2 Discords and Reddits and making all this interminably long content for exotic guns that get nerfed anyway. Or bounties that are just a pain in the ass. Or an item economy that can be at best described as confusing. In other words they want people to be in the rat maze as long as possible.
It's very clear that Bungie panders to this audience because they have no weekend warriors left or an actual midcore audience that is normally the lifeblood of a service game. When you design a game for the minority of players you get what Destiny is now.
Remember when people thought Forsaken was all gonna be about The Reef? :P
i Dont have a group sadly! My clan stopped playing years ago. I joined the resetera discord but im a little socially anxious so i felt weird just asking people if they wanted to do a raid, especially an old one that everyone else has done at this point lol
I mean, to each their own, but I've really enjoyed Destiny's story over the past 6 years. It's just kind of tedious to see the "oh the story we never saw would have been better" line again and again.
Yup, that's exactly how I feel. I know some people love that side of Destiny but I feel there's no balance. You are either in on all of that or you have the basic activities and bounties with terrible rewards.
I'm always hoping they can make parts of it more accessible but this last year was the opposite with all the FOMO on top of everything else.
I played both and never played a single raid. We are sad sad people.
they can keep the harder non match made versions while making a Looking For Raid style match made one
This is what successful MMOs do, open up content to all classes of player. Destiny 2 is not that and the player base seems to be weirdly proud of it.
I love some Destiny raids, but lately they have gotten "plate spinning" to a ridiculous extent. Mechanically complex and reliant on communication is one thing, but stuff like Crown of Sorrow is way too far in the direction of juggling too much at once.
There's some third party websites that help out. I haven't played in a while, but the community is generally friendly and helpful.
If you're on Xbox, use LFG. It's really easy to get in a group.
Undying was good, dawn was great, worthy was just bad.
Overall decent imo.
