Hopefully this new season breathes life back into the game:francis:


This new expansion has been terribly underwhelming :stopitslime:

I'mma have to agree with you on that.

I played for a couple of days, and put it back down.

I know they've said making a Destiny 3 just isn't feasible at this time, but I'm starting to think they still should've done whatever they needed to to go that route. The core gameplay loop is in desperate need of an overhaul, ASAP. I was pretty excited playing the main campaign missions, since there was story involved, and it was balanced in a way that you were likely barely at the recommended level for the missions, presenting a unique challenge. But after that, it was more "Do thing, with weapon, on planet, or in playlist" monotony.

The real issue is they can't figure out how to keep the flow of content coming properly, and, I assume, be profitable. Gambit was supposed to solve a lot of this, but it flopped. The game is great, but Bungie has to give up the artificial, contrived grind to kill time, and give people stuff to do.

Also, Trials needs matchmaking badly. They also need a true solo Endgame activity. Not everyone has a clan to do Trials or raid with.

I don't know what you would have them do, this beyond light campaign is pretty challenging for a solo player, especially when you are going for exotics. Im not in love with it either, but I don't want it to be easier

The only thing I find challenging is the Master level stuff, like the Empire Hunts and Nightfall. I could do them, but it's not worth it when it can take an hour, and you're not even guaranteed a golf ball. IDK what they should do, because I honestly haven't thought about it. They need to. If Destiny dies, I'll be sad, but I have dozens of other things to play.

destiny never gonna die / destiny dies every year they'll be ight

their jump to F2P and whoever they hired to turn the gameplay loop into a korean mobile game made sure of that... but at the same time its what's put the lid on everything else.

at the very least, they need to keep F2P players out of PVP.... when that crossplay shyt hits, console about to see where the problems are for real

Yea the master nightfalls are worth the gring outa 3 runs, 2 of em i get an ascendant shard, only time u dont is when u dont kill all the champions. masterworking my most used exotics:blessed:

How u taking an hour to do a master nightfall??:gucci: are u doing it solo?? because the only time it took anywhere close to an hour was the scarlett keep double reward, once i found the cheese spot, 30 minutes tops. the other master ones are like 20 minutss tops if u got the right gear on

Solo. I was making the point that the game can fall off a cliff if you play alone.
