Kotaku sums up Destiny player burn-out

http://kotaku.com/five-months-in-hardcore-destiny-players-are-hitting-a-1684813586 This is not a bash. It comes from someone who, like many of us, really likes Destiny but is reaching a point of burn-out. The things that popped out to me are the lack of carrots and poor communication from Bungie. If you trawl the forums, you'll find many threads dedicated to each point made, but this is a handy summation of the frustration hardcore Destiny players are, and have been, facing of late. I'm no hater, and like Kirk, the article's author, I know there's an unbelievable game inside Destiny. I'm looking forward to HoW, but until then, it'll just have to be a strike now and again. Edit 1: You guys all rock. It's been a very clear-headed conversation in here so far, aside from some weak trolls. And thanks for the bumps! I think it's good to read what a lot of us have been thinking. Edit 2: I'm pretty sure the forum ninjas have buried any Kotaku-related posts so they don't trend. That's their prerogative, and somewhat understandable despite the normal levels of vitriol you can generally find on these forums. Feel free to bump if you think others should read it but, after over twenty-four hours of pretty constant replies from you crazy, magnificent bastards, it's fair to say that we don't need an article to spur healthy discussion about one of our favorite games.

  • That article hits the nail on the head. Today was the first time i havent done the nightfalls on a tuesday since i first started doing them...and i dont really care sadly. Ill get to them at some point this week but it just doesnt seem to have that entising feeling it used to. I couldnt care less about doing Crotas End everyweek now. My hunter has full crota gear maxed out, warlock has everything but the helmet and just needs shards, and my titan just has the gauntlets. But i dont feel the need to strive to have all 3 at 32 now. I would actually much rather run VoG for the simple fact that its a much higher quality raid. I have actually started collecting a set of VoG armor again just for the hell of it. I still love this game and i (hopefully) will still be playing it for the extended future...we shall see. If they decide to add some of the ideas that the majority of the community seem to want, it could breath enough life back into this game to save it. There is a glimmering light of hope floating somewhere in the darkness amongst this world that we've spent countless hours exploring....err...re-exploring. Lets hope they find it and start making this game into what is COULD BE. But i must admit its been...relaxing...playing dying light for the last week. A game with an actual story, and lets be honest...its hard to beat drop kicking a zombie then beating his head in with an electrified baseball bat.
