First let me begin by explain who I am. I religiously played D1, I have well over 2000 hours invested, I've been around since the beginning. Liked vanilla, it needed work but they were headed in a good direction. Year 3 was great!! The issue: instead of building off that they wiped and gave us a worse version of vanilla. This post isn't for: self-righteous retorts. People who play a few hours a week. This post is for: reasonable retorts and points. Not personal attacks that make you look like a internet creeper. Remember I'm pissed because I loved Destiny These are my opinions and the opinion of many players I've spoken with and many I play with. These are not made up outspoken things. Theses are real concerns and if you don't buy it. Complete your millstones and tell me what you spend your time doing. Tell me what awesome piece of gear or weapon your grinding for and where it's grinded for ( like fate ringer or black hammer). Tell me what was your moment of triumph was this week and what awesome weapon did you finally get for it? Bungie has broken its promises and fooled many of us to invest hard earned money into a new game which feels worse the D1 vanilla. Bungie fails to realize that we the hardcore player, the hardcore community is whats keeping their game alive and has kept their game alive during the hard times. Not the 90% the 10%. The 90% plays to chase what the 10% has and since everyone has everything and all gear is the same its destroying the very fundamentals of what DESTINY IS ABOUT....THE CHASE....The Triumph...The Glory...The Bond between players when they overcome the obstacles and get or do not get what they wanted. Then do it all over again....together (THIS DOES NOT EXSIST IN THIS DESTINY 2) The game has no magic, no mystery and no hunt. Here's whats missing. All gear is created equal. No matter what gear you get its the same. There are no real GEAR perks, with ammo increases, super energy on grenade kills (etc), no raid perks from raid gear, no raid weapon perks from raid weapons. There are no white whale weapons or gear to chase with real luster and most exotic gear is not really exotic (its common). THE GAME NAME SHOULD BE CHANGED TO "PUBLIC EVENTS" come and kill an easy boss with me... There is no endgame. Daily heroic missions, quests, dead ghosts(or something that is similar), gimmore score (or something similar), hidden quest or missions, bounties (daily,weekly, monthly). Theres only a few game achievements. All the things that created urgency, mystery and magic has been removed in order to not hurt the common players feelings (its a nerfed world). And a world that is nerfed is a world without consequences (a world without meaning). Its nothing more then a glorified "Call of duty". And if you don't think so.....give a week or 2. There is no character customization. You can't even customize your super to your play style. Its a sad thing when someone tears up a winning ticket in hopes the will win bigger with the next one. Half the exotic gear in Destiny 2 is Destiny 1's exotic gear just less impressive. Just like the supers and subclasses (less impressive). The whole game is LESS IMPRESSIVE. Nothing to work towards, nothing to earn, nothing gain, no reputation....nothing. Its a long winded campaign with a crappy story. And a game a CHILD can play and end up where hardcore players end up....at the end of nothing with everything in hand and nothing to do. Is this the end of Destiny's community. The community that gave us parody videos and songs. The community that got together and raised money for a children hospital. It could be....you literally need to learn NOTHING from you tubers and steamers to get everything. I've seen thousands of these concerns and I haven't seen a single response from bungie. WHY BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL COMPLAIN ANYWAY??? We're your loyal fans not just a troll with a grudge. I ask you this bungie....How could you do this to us? Your loyal fans base. The same people that kept destiny alive during the hard times and are giving you jobs and loyally follow your game because you listened to us AND GAVE US WHAT WE CRAVED....LOOT, CONTENT, OBSTACLES AND TRIUMPH . NOT A BLAND BEIGE WORLD WITH NOT MEANING AND NO EXPECTATIONS. And now you turned a deaf ear and for what...I don't understand. PLEASE TELL ME. Everyone I've played with for years is pissed and I've defended you long enough. I can't mention this in a raid group without every single person piling on... I would like to see at a minimum: Hidden quests Daily bounties (with hidden exciting bounties) Dead ghost or least being able to collect the scannable' s for rep. Reputation score ( it seems silly but people like knowing their level) Bring back something like gimmore. Raid gear that helps in the raid. Hidden sectors that are more like a mini nightfall. And of course the bungie flare. The mystery the magic of an unknown being out there. At a minimun. Please tell me the destiny I know and love isn't dead. Don't be mad or high strung...work with us like you did before and let's MAKE DESTINY GREAT AGAIN!!!!
