Beautifully said my friend. You have stolen my own thoughts and made them physical. But sadly this game is not that which they claimed or what we hoped. It is and will always be a money generating mmo like so many others that have come before it and is perfectly structured like one. The game will be filled out eventually but not in the cinematic action sense of halo, it will be filled with more strikes (dungeons), more raids, etc. Just compare Destiny side by side to most other mmos only difference really is the first person aspect but even that has been done before bungie attempted it. In short we expect too much/the wrong things from a game such as this.

Thank you for saying that, I can agree with what you said, and nothing anyone tells me will change my mind that the DLC has failed our expectations, or at least mine and all of the players I know on my friends list.

Soo true i agree with everything said and will fight alongside you and obviously everyone else that plays destiny with PvE.

Great post. In my opinion, I feel like I'm a ghost when I play through this game. I'm looking at the aftermath of a world that I should no longer be a part of and no longer understand. We're used as tools of the war, but why should we fight so long and hard for something we do not even know about. I couldn't really tell you what the good or bad side is in the game- I could only tell you who my next alien target is that I'm ordered to kill. I walk through a beautiful, detailed environment with hidden traces of the past and hints towards something so vague, leaving even more questions. It seems that no matter what you do, you aren't truly involved in any of it. I just killed Valus Ta'aurc. Why? Because the speaker said so. Why? Idk to get gear I guess. Why? To kill more stuff the speaker wants me to... Give me a reason and goal, not just tasks that further leave me in the dark. The game needs answers, it needs purpose, maybe not all of answers, but way more than we have now. I don't want to be some undead mercenary WMD, I want to be a guardian... And a WMD. I walk through a beautiful, detailed landscape, but it's all meaningless because there is nothing to make any of it significant. You can only fight for so long before you ask, "why am I even here?" That's why when so many people reach level 30 and have beaten the raid over and over, they see no point in it all anymore. There's no more mindless tasks, missions, or strikes to keep your mind occupied anymore. Either this game needs to put out a ridiculous amount of content to continue to keep us fighting a mindless war without asking questions, or they need to start building on the main story to make this universe relevant. I really hope the game can meet its ideals at some point, this DLC is not exactly doing it.

If everyone is thinking that this locked content is a bunch of bs... LOOK AT THE GILMORIA CARDS! THERE ARE CARDS FOR MERCURY AND SATURN!

[quote]Dear Bungie, Destiny simply isn't what I expected. I've had great respect for the work you guys do from the first time I played Halo with my friends, and I followed the Destiny buildup until its release with edge-of-my-seat anticipation. To me, there's no story more compelling than that of humanity's very survival, and no pursuit more noble than fighting for the preservation of our species. It's what drew me to Halo, and what drew me to Destiny. It's teams of artists such as yourselves, who recognize the inherent nobleness of this concept and seek to bring it to millions, that inspire me, that give me something to look forward to after a long day at the office, that offer me the chance to escape a reality where the difference I make is marginal at best, and enter a reality where I have the chance to make a difference that feels like it matters, if only for a couple of hours every night. You brought me that sense of purpose and inspiration with Halo. But I don't feel this anymore. In Destiny, with a full loadout of legendary and exotic gear and having played through the full story, experiencing what the Crucible has to offer, battling my way through countless strike missions, finishing every bounty 100 times over, and exploring the complete extent of every map, I'm...bored. But it's worse than being bored. I don't feel anything. I've stuck with the game all these hours, whole days, desperately seeking to feel what I expected to when I first read about Destiny so many months ago. It isn't there. Although I initially thought that the lack of story was the problem, I've come to realize that the lack of story is only the tip of the iceberg. It's the part that's visible, that every Guardian who's also searching for that sense of purpose and fulfillment in Destiny can readily point to and say "That must be it". And it's a very valid concern. But the core problem with Destiny runs much deeper. The core problem, as far as I see it, is that you're utterly alone in the game. I'll attempt to expand as best I can. The reason the raid works so well (and is arguably the most successful part of the entire Destiny endeavor) is that it requires massive amounts of teamwork. It provides, upon beating Atheon, a sense of reward and togetherness that no other part of the game currently gives you as a player. I feel as though the team at Bungie would like to bring this experience to the wider majority of the game, but is confused as to how to do so, or is otherwise very conflicted as to how to go about doing so. I want to assure you that doing this would be exceptionally easy, and would make Destiny the game you want it to be and the game that we, the players, want it to be. My suggestions operate on the assumption that most Destiny players care about the notion of fighting for humanity. It is the premise of the entire game, the reason anyone who enjoys PvE wanted to become a Guardian in the first place. With that in mind, Bungie needs to begin addressing the issue of feeling alone in the game by giving players a shared experience outside of the raid. Sure, if you have enough friends with the game, you can link up a fireteam and do some of the same 4 strikes (now a staggering 5 strikes for only $19.99 on Xbox) you've done 5,000 times over, but the only emotional appeal to this is that you're doing something with your friends for a while, until you get bored, and let me assure you, killing the Archon Priest for the zillionth time is boring - boring enough that the friends I used to play with have quit the game. I feel that many can relate to this situation. In order to make your players feel something deeper and continue to invest in Destiny, we need to be able to actually fight for the very survival of humanity. Other people have left comments regarding this, and I'm mirroring their ideas and sentiments and not claiming them as my own, though I've had the very same thoughts as them for some time now. Bungie needs to actually put humanity on the brink. As Guardians, we need to be able to get an alert from The Tower while we're out collecting Spinmetal that The City is under a massive attack by The Fallen. We need to be able to see all the players around us disappear, heading to orbit just like we are, mashing our controllers to take us all back to defend The City. Upon arriving, we need to see droves upon droves of enemies marching to the walls, and have a way to get out in front of the walls to fight them in the plains before they reach the gates (troop transport ships on a loop that fly you over the city and drop you into battle, anyone?). We need to see dozens of other Guardians fighting tooth and nail to defend the last bastion of humanity alongside us, and we need this on at least a weekly basis. These kind of encounters can play out all over the solar system, and last a day at a time, giving many players the chance to enter the fight. Ground must be gained and lost, territories threatened, The City seen teetering on a precipice before you and your fellow Guardians prevail (or don't, which leads to many other, ridiculously interesting options for the game, and opportunities to fight for what is lost). Again, I don't claim such ideas and sentiments as my own, but I wanted to articulate them here in the hopes that someone with a voice inside Bungie HQ might raise these ideas that I very much believe thousands of players yearn for. If ideas like this were baked into the game, this crippling sense of solitude that one often feels while playing would effectively disappear, because we'd all be fighting for something together - something tangible, that we could see and feel and believe in. While you, Bungie, continue to release patches nerfing hard-earned exotic weapons, killing loot caves, restructuring the raid to prevent players from beating it with human ingenuity, and announcing DLC content that is quite honestly very lackluster and addresses none of the deep, even psychological ineptitudes within the Destiny universe, I assure you that even if the current numbers say otherwise, you are not building a 10 year franchise. Or a 5 year franchise. I'll be curious to know what those numbers reveal once other games are released through the holiday season. Somehow, I don't think they'll be very promising. Not considering what you gave us at launch, and how little you continue to give us. Destiny was a promise of something incredible that never was and still isn't. It could still become that, but my hope is waning, and that's a real shame, because this world you made for us, this repetitive, empty world - it's very pretty. Thanks for your time. I hope I get the chance to thank you for your efforts in the future.[/quote] I fully agree with this. Plus, I think that we shouldn't have useless ships, but take them to battle. ( not my idea) ]

It doesn't matter. There is 1 raid. And it's a problem that I haven't done it yet. The raid should have multiple difficulty levels. Since it's really the only part of the game players seem to enjoy in the long term, a lot more people should have access after hitting the soft level cap.

All those hours and you're not even a level 29?

i completely agree, and now that call of duty is out a lot more people are going to stop playing destiny and start playing that because of the disappointment.

News flash: Bungie not Activi$ion give two shats about any of this. Unless bungie does something fast, this game will go down as the biggest fail of recent gaming history. A developer who pioneered Modern FPS with Halo, the bar was always set high and they are getting so far out of reach with every stupid post from DeeJ
