I wouldn’t say it was a joke, but I get what you’re saying. People bitched about shotguns and the sidearm meta is what they got. It was still more fun than where the crucible is right now in D2.

I would just like to pop in and tell all of you that I told you so. Bungie mailed this one in and made a bunch of shitty changes thus solidifying my place as a prophet.

I'm enjoying it but I'm easy to please. Just to get away from screaming kids for an hour is worth it.

Don't like snipers in heavy, makes them worthless. Never cared for PVP. I enjoy public events in this one better than D1. Need exotics to feel like exotics. I run with all legendary sometimes on weapons.

I played last night for the first time in 3 weeks and have been re-reminded that I? don’t like.

I? already had bought the expansion so I’ll play it and give it that chance. If it doesn’t improve, I’ll be done for good.

I'll admit I'm a casual gamer. But I enjoyed the hell out of D1 and played 400 something hours on it. I have actually enjoyed D2 as well and don't hate it as much as the serious gamer, but I have been trying to play the raid for weeks now: guided games, LFG sites, clan members, etc... and have still yet to play it. Nobody wants to play with someone who hasn't done it, and ironically all these nerds were in the same boat as me at some point. Yet somehow, I still got to 304 just doing flashpoint, etc.... I haven't decided if I'm going to do the expansion, but it's not looking good.

Missing out on the larger activities sucks. I used the companion app to get into the raid. Found a fireteam within a few minutes that was willing to walk me through it.

Which companion app is it? If they had true matchmaking for nightfall and raid, I would probably continue playing.

The official destiny companion app

There's a place for finding a fireteam with open slots and what they're looking for

Xbox?

I haven’t done the raid yet either because my clan does it on weekends and it’s hunting season right now

Never played D1, ~125 or so hours 289 Warlock. I want to like this game more. But god damn it I find myself logging in and staring at the world map going "What the frick should I be doing?" I can usually get the Nightfall strike done through a guided group (been in and out of clans, all mostly seem useless) after sitting through 15+ minute queues a few times a week.

Raids are out of the question. I really wish there was true matchmaking where I could load up with five other randoms and do the Raid and not give a shite if I finished the entire thing in one sitting or not.

Customization seems to be non-existent. A whole lot of generic wardrobe changes and color schemes. Let me paint my own color scheme, god damn it.

PS: I'm on PS4 if any of you knuckleheads want to add me. PSN ID is the same as my username.

TLDR: Really enjoy the weekly content, but when it's done, there's literally no reason to play. Game is fun, when there are objectives to do.

As a guy with a frickton of hours on destiny 1, I have zero interest in playing 2 anymore after getting one character to 305. The game fricking sucks. Period. Its lifeless and boring as frick.

The exotics are trash, the weapon changes suck fricking arse. I actually only fired a fricking sniper rifle once in PvP and a couple of times in pve after using Icebreaker forever. There isn't a single reason why the weapon system was changed. It fricking sucks. Bungie fricked this game in half and I can't fricking stand it.

Edit: after reading my post I attempted to find good qualities I like about the game.



The main story line. Trash.
Supers. Trash
PvP. Total trash.
Raid. The worst one yet.
Nightfalls. Terrible with timer.


I do enjoy titan. That's about it world wide.
The characters. A little more fleshed out. I like that.

This gear system has to go.
Nothing will beat the feeling of watching atheon or crota go down and Icebreaker, Gally or Fatebringer pop on your screen. They took everything good from D1 and just fricking tossed it. I don't fricking get it. I'm so frustrated with Bungie, you stupid motherfricking fricks.

It's kind of funny, I actually enjoyed the raid the first time through (jumped in at launch blind).

It was fun figuring everything out and I thought figuring out the mechanics were unique, especially with how the raid wasn't exactly linear and had the undercarriage as well.

But I did the thing like 4-5 times and the biggest gripe I heard from clan mates and random people from reddit, which I agreed with after a couple of clears, is that they ultimately got rid of bullet sponge bosses and made every room leading up to Calus just mechanic based encounters.

It's funny, because for a long time in D1 people bitched about the lack of mechanics and bullet sponges, but it doesn't feel like a raid at all without a big bad guy to shoot out and watching their health bar deplete.

The rewards were also complete arse. I don't want tokens after clearing an encounter. I want a loot drop. It wasn't broken beforehand. The first time I cleared the entire raid I got a drop at the dogs (sword) and then a chest piece at Calus. It was lame as shite. I was more excited about the emblem than I was the actual loot.

Maybe I can elaborate, I don't want to spend a load of time doing something for fricking tokens at the end.

Baths are ok. Same as totems from KF

Dogs was unique

Shadow room/Throne room was terrible. So bad for an encounter.

I have gotten into this discussion before and can understand the other side of it, but i like the casualness to the game. I don't have a ton of time to play, but I look forward to the resets. However, this week, I finally got my last character to 305. I guess I dragged it out enough to get close to the DLC.

I didn't play D1 so I have nothing to compare. But, I did complete the raid once and don't really have a desire to do so again. I will if the clan wants to because playing with the clan is fun, but I don't care if I don't do it again.

The Nightfall timers suck. Its hard enough without having to look for time anomalies. This weeks nightfall is damn near impossible without knowing where at least half of them are.

The matchmaking (guided game) needs alot of work. It may not be their fault, but I recently had 2 and we guided a game. Got a 3rd that wouldn't turn on their mic and at the end had less than 20 kills.

I know I was just the last post you replied to, but just in case, i'm on PS4. We don't have many that play anymore, either, but I imagine they'll come back for the DLC.
