What are your biggest pain points in Destiny right now?
It's no secret that the community feels a bit tense right now with Bungie's engagement and some of the issues we've been experiencing throughout the season. I see numerous complaints and hate threads over certain topics that really drive players insane, but I want to directly ask those who genuinely dedicate their time to this game.
What are your biggest pain points? What is driving you away?
If you could write 3 quick sentences to detail out what you feel is lacking, or what genuinely frustrates you, I would love to see what the community as a whole is feeling.
With over 4K hours in this game, I've been through my fair share of ups and downs with the community. I know that regular delivery of content for a live service game is immensely difficult, and Bungie as well as many others will continue to try new things.
I'll share my 3 primary pain points myself, summarized as best as possible.
Poor story delivery. The weekly drip feed, and overall presentation of what actually is an INCREDIBLE story and lore is just delivered to us in such an un-captivating way. It is appalling how good of a narrative exists, and yet it's given to us in such a lack luster fashion.
Instability, performance, connectivity. We all know these issues have gotten worse, and now far more ridiculous than ever. My clan mate was getting repeated errors just for using arc on a Titan and killing an enemy. I miss when lag was the only slight concern.
Time invested = little to no return. This one is hard to specify, because I do think some of the more recent loot has been awesome. Spare returned in a disappointing manner, but many new weapons are genuinely good. However, the high end activities of the game feel almost useless. Why do a master raid? Why farm GMs? Why reach max rank in comp? There is not enough return for more egregious time investment. Some of this ties into overall fatigue and just sheer experience, but something has to be engaging no?

My biggest points 1. Weapon crafting and item rarity. Red borders taking away any reason to play raids and the other activities they come from. Aka once you have them you never come back unless your friends wants to run said content which they dont because they got them crafted too. Because everybody is always crying about rng and grind and wants exactly what everyone else has in 30 minutes or so. Nothing being rare anymore. Because everything gets handed out these days. And they made everything in pve so much easier, like the enemies never have a chance to fight back Just stand in a well and shoot your fusion rife or rockets (crafted ofcourse) until its dead. (Opens chest picks up loot dismantles it straight away because you already have something better crafted.) It just takes away so much content. 2. the constant calls for nerfs and making content too easy. when people get something nerfed by crying its too hard. Yes some things are supposed to be harder than the other. Not every piece of content should be able to be completed by everyone. Theres calls for nerfs everywhere on this forum. For example ppl want ghosts bosses health nerfed and add density lowered. Like Ghosts bosses do not have too much health you just lack damage or you do good damage and think it sucks because you are doing a 3 mans job on your own. Its a dungeon made for 3 that you chose to do on your own and challenge yourself so it should not scale down to your fireteam size. And knowing games these days bungie might just give in and nerf it and make 3 man even easier and boring. Or the 1 time that ppl started crying because they had to kill 20 champions i believe? In ketchcrash where 1 master ketchcrash run was enough, like really? Is that too much effort these days? Call it gatekeeping or whatever but its just how things are. Play the game Try. Improve. Earn your loot. Or not i guess doesnt matter in this game. Most things are just so simple that its not fun and not worth loading up the game for. And just bungie not seeming to care about the game anymore is also a big thing.
