It is not an actual MMO in that mold.


It doesn't have to be exactly like WoW, but Destiny is very much an MMO but only stripped down to the most grindy aspects.

I don't think it is possible to make a game on the scale of an MMO with the mechanics and gameplay as Destiny.


Again, "MMO" can be a lot of different things. It's not a traditional tab-target MMO like WoW or Everquest, but I would certainly consider Destiny to be a form of MMO.

But I still don't get what you are saying. It is the same thing as many MMOs that I have played when it comes to story quest or strikes. You have a open world and when you get into the mission it is instanced. That is exactly what Destiny does, you just don't have a loading scree


My point is you have one map for every planet and all the game's content takes place on it. You fight the same monsters and kill the same bosses on patrol that you do on a strike or story mission. There are no unique areas for story missions or strikes. I don't know much about raids because I never did them.

The fact that it's just the same stuff repeated over and over again gets old really fast. Patrols and story missions should have their own unique locations that are separate from the strikes.

Destiny is closer diablo in that regard. Just replay over and over and get stronger.

It's Diablo meets CoD

Nowhere near a true MMO as it was originally pitched.

What? There are a lot of story missions and strike areas that are impossible to get to in a regular patrol.
Also traditional MMOs are filled with boring quest in world zones that you run through over and over. I still don't see the difference.
Just that the traditional MMO is much larger. And that would be because it would be insane to have a shooter as big as say WoW or FF14.

Raids are the best part of PVE Destiny. The fact that you have not done them shows me you are just looking for some solo experience or have not played the game much. The game may just not be for you.
