Sad, Frustrated... idk...
TL;DR - Sad and frustrated at the lack of incentive the game gives me to play at this point in my D2 history (almost 3k hours), and at the lack of desire I have to do these things.
Going to keep this pretty plebian since I see no point in being aggressively upset...
This morning I logged in to do the weekly story as I do every week, since I am in the office on reset day. I went up to speak to Riven, got the next step, read it, stared at my monitor for 2-3 minutes and turned my xbox off...
First time i've done that with a main quest step, [u]ever[/u]. I don't have an interest in doing another coil to collect things i've already collected hundreds, if not thousands of.
It makes me incredibly sad. I've got thousands of hours on this game. I love the lore, I have all the books. I love the storytelling. But I couldn't be bothered because the weekly MAIN quest step was "do the seasonal activity" again.
It's not that I don't have the time, I am just not interested enough to slosh through 15-30 mins of seasonal activities, to end up running a Riven's Lair, to get an egg where the chest should be, to go back to the helm, to run a lost sector in DC (that still doesn't have alt LZs), to get a 30 second conversation BACK in the Helm, to be left disappointed after sleepwalking/speedrunning through the actual gameplay of the weekly quest.
I figured okay well if i don't wanna do the quest step, maybe I can do something else, OH the Dawning is live! Same thing... Memento is baller. Really cool. The weapons? not-a-one. Armor is purchase only. I don't buy the event cards. What is there to chase?
So now, I haven't done the weekly quest, AND am uninterested in the seasonal event going on.
I am really sad, really frustrated, bored, pissed off, dejected, unmotivated to play; and I wish something would happen to bring that spark back. Maybe it's the fact that I have everything already, maybe it's because the content isn't great, maybe its me just being pessimistic.
I don't feel the love anymore, and it really breaks my heart.

2 RepliesI started the new season - or whatever it is - and just got overwhelmed by the unknown. Destiny has always been a game that has no hints or instructions. There's something wrong with a game that you have to watch YouTube to see how it's played. I bought Halo Infinite. It's Halo. What more can you say? Lotsa sameo - sameo. This version has a few improvements. The Chief's ability to toss out a bit of dental floss and winch himself up the hill is sorta cool. Coupla new guns. One thing I will say, is "If you can see it, you can go there!" Bungie said that but didn't deliver. If there's a mountain, you can go to the top. What is different from Destiny, is that one thing follows another, with a few side issues to do if you want to. The down side is annoying - ANNOYING - chatter by some text reading dude with "Press X to do this. Press X to do that", endlessly, with no way to turn it off, or lower it's volume. It even rabbits on over the game dialogue. The poor little A.I. chatters away, but this dude talks right over the top of her, to the extent that you have to read what she's saying. Anyway, I played till the end, and now I can go back and do the bits I missed. After that, I fired up Destiny. Dunno why, but it took ten or fifteen minutes to load and start. I wasn't sure what to do, so I looked around for something new, and saw the Riven at the HELM. I started it's event, and spent most of the time dead, or following the other two. Half a minute dead is too long! I don't know what they did! They ran around picking up stuff. There was gas everywhere and you had to do something to cure yourself. I never found out what it was. Just another of Bungie's ridiculous name for an object. The perks were that the event was at a level of five above the player. Doesn't say if it's my level it's five above, or the highest of the three players. I'm just not interested in these sort of challenges. I don't enjoy sweaty! Eventually, the event ended. I didn't go to the chest, as I had killed about two enemies, and I couldn't be bothered. There's nothing different. There's another artifact. Another haul up the light level. Another long session with "Pinnacles" I can't be bothered to repeat this same stuff over and over.
