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.

[i]"you all wanted a grind and bungie delivered,"[/i] is a terrible take in general as anyone who's played games for longer than a year can see that power leveling light levels is a cheap, synthetic, [b]fake[/b] grind that has no place in any game. a real grind in games is learning an activity, farming said content for better armor, better weapon rolls and hard to get gear, not light grinding. i've been here since the start and never complained about light levels until this expansion. it is the most sluggish, tedious bs I have ever endured in any video game, ever. you are restricting players from higher tier gear and game modes for absolutely no reason at all. activity access and the best loot should already be available and if you have the skill necessary to receive great loot, it should be delivered. no part of that is being freely* given, it is earned. these are the same people who fix things that benefit the player within days or even hours, but reluctantly refuse to fix things in the game that are bugged because it’s not in the budget and not worth the time - their time. they also consistently buff weapons and armor that need it, then when players are enjoying said gear, it’s all nerfed back down to the same equal level of shite because it's "too good." the same people that removed paid holiday event cards! ..but then release future holiday events that can't be completed from playing the actual event, but by spending silver to fully complete the 15 ranks. the ranks aren't even tied to an actual mode and are just: go play more portal activities and get tokens for doing more of the same. in summary, bungie obviously despises their players by showing a polarizing display of negative changes regardless of how the players feel, while at the same time begging their community for fundraising donations and requesting or better yet, requiring $100 per year for lackluster content that most likely will be removed anyways. this is the full expression of a devoted bungie supporter who's been here since the very start and feels disrespected and incredibly insulted by how poorly Destiny 2 is being managed nowadays and most, if not all of the Destiny 2 community shares the same feelings of melancholy but is too afraid of sharing their opinions because they get downvoted or flamed for being unhappy with the state of the game. until this game turns around majorly, other games are much more enticing to play for the time being
