I am a Day 1 D1 player. I have over 10k hours in this game. I have purchased every expansion good and bad (Curse of Osiris) because I love this game. But I have to say this is the laziest expansion I have ever played. I couldn’t wait to get on and play new content but this expansion is horrible. The missions are repetitive, the map markers are confusing and once you complete the campaign there is nothing to do but to run portal activities over and over again to level up.
You cannot change the modifiers in the fireteam ops or pinnacle ops unless you have a dedicated team to run with.
You want us to also run the campaign mission over again on fabled and mythic for quest steps, some which are tied to the exotic hand cannon catalyst.
I have a few questions:
Who thought that was a good idea? To lock catalyst behind content that was horrible the first time around. Where damage to the yellow bars are 7-15 so it takes forever to get them down.
Who thought we would want to run the same lost sectors, missions on a continuous loop? Who thought that would be fun?
Who thought it was a good idea to drop our power to 10 and think we would want to grind our power to 450? 440 levels when your community has consistently stated they power grind was too much. Is this so you can pad your player numbers? You thought this would be better than 10-20 levels!
Who thought this whole new weapon and armor system was a good idea? You want us to grind for tier 4 and 5 weapons and gear so that in 6 months you can take them away and give us new weapons and gear to grind for. This is a looter/shooter game, this is NOT DIABLO!
Who thought that it was ok, NOT to mention that the new cross bow is locked behind the raid?
Why did you put the new destination materials in the portal and not in our inventory where they are easy to find and have been for YEARS?!
Bungie you do not respect your communities’ time spent playing your game. Your community has spent seasons grinding for god roll weapons and god roll armor states that you have rendered useless. You listen to a handful of elitest and not the community that loves this game!
You are wanting your community to play the game your way. With your weapons and your armor! We paid our money to play the game the way we want with the armor and weapons we choose, that we have crafted and grinded for! If we want to play an MMO we will go play Diablo.
If you want to save your game you need to really LISTEN to your community. No one likes this new system that is why your player count is low. Put it back to the way it was!! We like our map that showed where we could go for pinnacle activities. We liked the OLD way we did GM’s. We like to use our weapons and our gear when we want to use them! I am not saying improvements weren't needed but THIS WAS NOT IT!!
And pls save your trolling comments for someone else’s post. This is my opinion but from reading the forums, I am not alone in this opinion.

Edited by Mark, Scholar of Stars: 7/31/2025 10:29:50 PMPersonally, it's just a game. And I want my space from the current events regarding the release of "Year of Prophecy," but every day it's getting worse and harder to ignore. Yesterday I made a new build for my Titan with seasonal gear for the first time. I want to keep it instead of changing it every 6 months. Even if I know that it will have less damage and damage reduction with "Renegades" and further DLCs. Today, I watched a video (from Divide), explaining from now on new gear is mandatory in the Portal for an optimal progression. Anything else comes with a "penalty" in the form of less XP. As if the boring Portal isn't penalty enough. The Reward Pass. Making the last 10 ranks, 100 to 110, takes 500,000 XP for one rank (as an example, from 100 to 101). And this, with the limitation of roughly 60 days. Destiny 2 was changed "overnight" into a severe progression system with indirect penalties. And the variety was channeled into one single hub with the Portal. It's so much less, except for the price, which is still the same. Edit: A few days ago, I watched an interview with Tyson Green; the man makes a good impression on me. And because of that (impression), the more I'm asking myself, why did he go that way? No one can tell me that it's going well for Bungie. I really don't get why Tyson implemented all those restrictions. Destiny 2 is their last racehorse; normally, you give someone like this everything you have. I like Destiny 2, but—pardon me—it never felt so stupid!
