    Nope. So glad I quit when I did and haven’t looked back. The more I see what it’s become the more I’m happy with my choice.

    I tried Destiny 2 when it went free to play with some friends and none of us had a clue what was going on. Just go do these missions with minimal story reasons or explanation.

    We got through the first area and to the main hub but it just seemed boring. Played a bit more after that but saw no improvements in the second area when it came to missions or story. I’m not sure why someone new would ever play this game?

      I got a free Destiny 2 preorder code with my video card. I played til max level. Then again for the first and second expansion. I thought “it feels like they’re holding anything actually substantive and QoL stuff back for the first big paid DLC not included in the expansion pass. If so, I quit.

      so

      never played again fuck that game.

      Quick edit: IT LAUNCHED ON THE COMPUTER WITH NO TEXT OR VOICE CHAT

      WHAT THE FUCK, YOU STUPID CUNTS

      THEN ADDED IN, BUT OPT-IN INSTEAD OF OPT-OUT? DUMBASS FUCKING WANK SHITTERS I HATE YOU

      And remember, at any moment can delete any content you paid for and it’ll be gone forever. These two things (the one you mentioned and mine) are why I always say: “Fuck Bungie”.

    I’m a casual who put a lot of hours into the game, enjoying it over a few seasons. Then they decided that what the community wanted was more difficulty, even at the lowest levels, and it has ruined the game for me. I used to just fire it up and shoot my way through a bunch of stuff, having fun.

    Now everything is a slog. I find myself having to get serious about getting through the most basic levels, instead of just running through it like a madman.

    As a consequence, I now play no more than a couple hours a week, and I’ve even skipped weeks entirely lately.

    You’d think this would resonate with someone, but I’ve heard nothing but complaints about this change. High-level, serious players aren’t in favor of it because it makes low-level content slow and boring, but doesn’t actually engage them any better than before. New players find it difficult when it should be teaching them the game. Mid-level players like myself get nothing from the increased difficulty, either.

    And yet they persist, adding even more modes that strip the point of levels from the game, and homogenize all the content.

    I’m hoping they smarten up next season, but I’m not real optimistic.

    I’m torn, even now.

    I was super hyped for Lightfall. And then it sucked. A lot. The writing was awful, the gameplay changes were worse, you’ve all heard it all before.

    I want to like it. I used to, during Beyond Light. Witch Queen was kind of awesome.

    I’ll probably play Final Shape just to see how this storyline ends, but I’m more skeptical than hyped now.

    Bought it when it first came out to continue playing with my friends who played from Destiny 1. It got old really quick. I didn’t really enjoy it as much as the first game and I was really confused by the lack of character building in game. It felt really directionless after finishing the main quest. And I learned pretty quick that I wasn’t attached to any of the in game characters the same way. So I quit playing after about a year. Never picked it back up.
